not cause the Bank’s GAAP book equity to be less than $8,200,000 on the Closing
Date.

 

Section 1.2 Payment of Purchase Price. At the Closing, Buyer agrees to deliver

Buyer to Seller as additional Earnest Money Deposit. At Closing, the Earnest

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION

 

Section 8.1 Indemnification. Seller and Buyer (“Indemnifying Party”) agree to
defend, indemnify and hold harmless the other party (“Indemnitee”) and its
officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns
from, against and in respect of any and all loss, liability and expense
resulting from:

 

(a) Any and all loss, diminution in value, damage or deficiency resulting from
any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of any obligation
by Indemnifying Party under this Agreement or from any misrepresentation in or
omission from any certificate or other instrument furnished or to be furnished
by Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement;

 

(b) Any and all actions, suits, proceedings, claims, demands, assessments,
judgments, losses, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and legal
expenses): (i) incident to any of the provisions of Section 8.1(a);
(ii) relating to claims by employees, officers or directors of Bank for matters
occurring before Closing; or (iii) relating to any failure by Bank to comply
with any statute or regulation related to Benefit Plans, Other Benefits, deposit
accounts, loans or the Bank Secrecy Act prior to Closing.

 

Section 8.2 Claims. If any Indemnitee receives notice of any claim or the
commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which the Indemnifying
Party is obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, the
Indemnitee shall promptly give the Indemnifying Party notice thereof. Such
notice shall be a condition precedent to any liability of the Indemnifying Party
under the provisions for indemnification contained in this Agreement and shall
describe the claim in reasonable detail and shall indicate the amount (estimated
if necessary) of the loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee.
The Indemnifying Party may elect to compromise or defend, at such Indemnifying
Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any such
matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnitee; provided, however,
that to the satisfaction of the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party shall
indemnify and secure the Indemnitee against such contested claims and for the
expenses of contesting and defending the claims. If the Indemnifying Party
elects to compromise or defend such asserted liability, it shall within 30 days
(or sooner, if the nature of the asserted liability so requires) notify the
Indemnitee of its intent to do so, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate, at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the compromise of, or defense against, any
such asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or
defend against the asserted liability, or fails to notify the Indemnitee of its
election as herein provided, the Indemnitee may, if acting in accordance with
its good faith business judgment, pay, compromise or defend such asserted
liability, and such settlement shall be binding on the Indemnifying Party for
purposes of this Article VIII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the
Indemnifying Party nor the Indemnitee may settle or compromise any claim over
the objection of the other; provided,

 

18

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

however, that consent to settlement or compromise shall not be unreasonably
withheld. In any event, the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party may each
participate, at its own expense, in the defense of such asserted liability. If
the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any claim, the Indemnitee shall make
available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within
its control that are necessary or appropriate for such defense.

 

Section 8.3 Costs. If any legal action or other proceeding is brought by any
party to this Agreement against any other party to this Agreement for the
enforcement or interpretation of any of the rights or provisions of this
Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or
misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement,
the successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable
attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses incurred in that action or
proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled.

 

Section 8.4 Reimbursement. Subject to the provisions of Section 8.3, the
Indemnitee shall be reimbursed on demand for loss, damage, cost or expense
suffered by such party at any time after the Closing Date in respect to any
liability to which the foregoing indemnity relates.

 

Section 8.5 Limit on Indemnities. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION HEREOF,
THE PARTIES SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY SPECIAL,
EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL LIABILITY, DAMAGE OR LOSS OF THE
INDEMNIFIED PARTY THAT THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY MAY SUFFER, PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT
THE LIMITATION ON INDEMNIFICATION SHALL NOT PROHIBIT INDEMNIFICATION FOR SUCH
DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH CLAIM IS ORIGINALLY ASSERTED BY A THIRD PARTY.

 

Section 8.6 Net Loss and De Minimus. No indemnity shall be due hereunder until
such time as the actual net loss or damage (i.e., reduced by any recovery from
any third party, such as an insurer) suffered by the Indemnitee exceeds a
cumulative aggregate amount (as to all indemnifiable claims to the date of
determination combined) equal to $50,000.00. After cumulative aggregate losses
equal $50,000.00, Buyer shall be entitled to full and complete recovery of all
losses incurred over $50,000.00.

 

Section 8.7 Arbitration. If any Indemnitee makes one or more claims of damage or
deficiency, each such claim shall be first submitted to a settlement conference
held within thirty days from notice of claim at which the parties will make full
disclosure of supportive evidence of claim with full right of access to records
and all material documents produced. If the claim is not settled, then the
parties shall submit to binding arbitration any disputed question or controversy
arising under this Agreement or arising out of or relating to the transactions
contemplated by the Agreement. Any such arbitration shall be conducted at
Jackson County, Missouri. Either party may initiate the arbitration, by notice
in writing to the other party, setting forth the nature of the dispute, the
amount involved, if any, and the remedy sought. Any party desiring to initiate
arbitration shall serve a written notice of intention to arbitrate to the other
party and to the American Arbitration Association office in or closest to Kansas
City, Missouri within 180 days after dispute has arisen. A dispute is deemed to
have arisen upon receipt of written demand or service of judicial process.
Failure to serve a notice of intention to arbitrate within the time

 

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

specified above shall be deemed a waiver of the notifying party’s right to
compel arbitration of such claim. Such notice of intention to arbitrate may be
informal and need not comply with Rule 6 of the American Arbitration
Association. The issue of waiver pursuant to this paragraph is an arbitrable
issue.

 

The single arbitrator shall be appointed promptly upon written application of
the initiating party, and shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties,
and if no agreement, in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall be a member of the American
Arbitration Association, and shall be experienced in the banking industry.
Depositions may be taken and other discovery obtained in any arbitration under
this Agreement. The arbitrator appointed hereunder shall conduct the arbitration
pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association then in effect, except as such rules may be modified for the purpose
of the arbitration proceeding by mutual written agreement of the parties to this
Agreement.

 

In the arbitration proceeding subject to these provisions, the arbitrator is
specifically empowered to decide (by documents only, or with a hearing, at the
arbitrator’s sole discretion) pre-hearing motions which are substantially
similar to prehearing motions to dismiss and motions for summary adjudication.

 

The award of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties and
judgment thereon may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. All statutes
of limitations which would otherwise be applicable shall apply to any
arbitration proceeding hereunder. The provisions of this section shall survive
any termination, amendment, or expiration of the Agreement in which this section
is contained, unless all the parties otherwise expressly agree in writing.

 

The parties acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving
interstate commerce in that the funds which may be advanced or committed under
this Agreement are derived from interstate financial markets. The Federal
Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings
pursuant to the arbitration clause in this Agreement.

 

The arbitrator shall award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Venue of any arbitration proceeding
hereunder will be in Jackson County, Missouri. Except as set forth above
concerning awards to the prevailing party, each party shall bear its own
expenses in connection with preparation for the presentation of its case at the
arbitration proceedings and the fees and expenses of the arbitrators and all
other expenses of the arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties to such
arbitration.

 

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

 

Section 9.1 Assignment. This Agreement and the rights hereunder are not
assignable unless such assignment is consented to in writing by all parties
hereto; provided however, that Buyer may assign its rights hereunder at the time
of Closing, or earlier if required by the Office of Thrift Supervision, to a
subsidiary of Buyer provided, however, that no such assignment shall release the
Buyer or relieve Buyer from its liability hereunder. This Agreement shall
otherwise inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the heirs, personal
representatives, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

 

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 9.2 Confidentiality.

 

(a) General. The parties acknowledge and agree that confidential information
(“Confidential Information”) provided to or in connection with a party’s
performance under this Agreement shall be considered confidential and
proprietary information and, except for information which a party believes must
be disclosed pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) disclosure
obligations, shall not be disclosed by the party receiving the information (the
“Receiving Party”) to any third party without the prior written consent of the
party providing the Confidential Information (“Disclosing Party”). Confidential
Information shall include, without limitation: (i) terms of this Agreement,
strategies, and targeting methods; (ii) business objectives, assets and
properties; (iii) programming techniques and technical, developmental, cost and
processing information; and (iv) internal marketing assessments, strategies, and
pricing information. The Receiving Party shall use at least the same degree of
care to safeguard and to prevent disclosing to third parties the Confidential
Information of the Disclosing Party as it employs to avoid unauthorized
disclosure, publication, dissemination, destruction, loss, or alteration of its
own Confidential Information (or information of its customers) of a similar
nature, but not less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party shall use
Confidential Information only for the purpose of satisfying its SEC filing
obligations and performing the terms of this Agreement and shall not accumulate
in any way or make use of Confidential Information for any other purpose. Only
employees, authorized agents, or subcontractors of the Receiving Party who need
to know Confidential Information to perform this Agreement will receive
Confidential Information and such persons must agree to be bound by the
provisions of this Paragraph and maintain the existence of this Agreement and
the nature of their obligations hereunder strictly confidential.

 

(b) Exceptions to General Confidentiality. Unless inconsistent with the
provisions of subsection (c) below, the obligations with respect to Confidential
Information shall not apply to Confidential Information that: (i) a party or its
personnel already know at the time it is disclosed as shown by their written
records; (ii) is publicly known without breach of this Agreement; (iii) a party
received from a third party authorized to disclose it without restriction;
(iv) a party, its agents, or its subcontractors developed independently without
use of Confidential Information; or (v) a party is required by law, regulation
(other than SEC reporting obligation regulations) or valid court or governmental
agency order to disclose, in which case the party receiving such an order must
give timely notice to the other parties, allowing them to seek a protective
order.

 

(c) Unauthorized Use and Return of Confidential Information. Any unauthorized
use or disclosure of Confidential Information may cause immediate and
irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party for which money damages may not

 

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

constitute an adequate remedy and for which injunctive relief may be warranted
in addition to any other remedies the Disclosing Party may have. Upon a party’s
reasonable demand, or upon the termination of this Agreement, the parties shall
comply with each other’s reasonable instructions regarding the disposition of
Confidential Information which may include return of any and all Confidential
Information (including any copies or reproductions thereof).

 

Section 9.3 Termination.

 

(a) This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date:

(ii) by Buyer if Seller shall have materially breached this Agreement and Seller
shall not have cured such breach within fifteen (15) calendar days after Buyer
shall have given notice to Seller of the existence of such breach;

 

(iii) by Seller if Buyer shall have materially breached this Agreement and Buyer
shall not have cured such breach within fifteen (15) calendar days after Seller

(v) Any right of termination, as hereinabove provided, shall be exercised by
written notice thereof given by the party entitled to exercise such right to the
other party (ies) hereto.

of any party hereto against any other party hereto for the breach by such other
party of any provision of this Agreement.

 

Section 9.4 Law Governing. This Agreement and all rights and obligations of the
parties shall be construed and interpreted under and pursuant to the laws of the
State of Missouri applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely
within such state, including all matters of enforcement, validity and
performance.
