     3.2. Payment by Seller.

          In consideration of Buyer's assumption of the Liabilities, Seller
shall pay to Buyer an amount equal to the principal amount of the Deposits, plus

     3.3. Settlement.
          ----------

          (a)  Not less than three (3) Banking Days prior to the Closing Date,
Seller shall deliver to Buyer a proposed Preliminary Closing Statement, which
shall set forth the basis for calculating a preliminary Payment Amount completed
as of the close of business five (5) Banking Days prior to the Closing Date,
together with supporting documentation reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and
which shall be certified by an authorized officer of Seller.  Such Preliminary
Closing Statement shall be the basis of a preliminary payment to be made to

          (b)  Within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Closing Date (or on a
different date agreed upon by the parties), Seller shall provide Buyer with a
proposed Final Closing Statement, which shall set forth the basis for
calculating the final Payment Amount completed as of the close of business on
the Closing Date, together with supporting documentation reasonably satisfactory
to Buyer, certified by an authorized officer of Seller.  The parties shall use
their best efforts to agree upon the Final Closing Statement promptly.  Prior to
2:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the third Banking Day following the date that Buyer
agrees to the Final Closing Statement or the date that Seller is notified of any
determination of the Final Closing Statement under Subsection (d), Seller shall
pay to Buyer (or Buyer shall pay to Seller, as the case may be) an amount equal
to the amount due stated on the Final Closing Statement (the "Adjustment
Payment"), plus interest from the day after the Closing Date until the calendar
day before the Adjustment Payment is made at a rate per annum (calculated daily
                                                    ---------
base on a 360-day year) equal to the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh's
overnight RepoPlus Advance rate, as announced on the Closing Date.

          (c)  Both the Preliminary Payment and the Adjustment Payment shall be
made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the party
receiving the payment, which account shall be designated in writing by such
party at least two Banking Days prior to the date of such payment.

          (d)  If the parties are unable to agree on a Final Closing Statement
within thirty (30) calendar days after the Closing, or within ten (10) Banking
Days after Buyer's receipt of the proposed Final Closing Statement, whichever is
later, then either party may submit the matter to the Mediator, who shall
finally determine all disputed portions of the Final Closing Statement in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement within thirty (30)
calendar days after the submission. Each party agrees to accept the decision of
the Mediator as final and shall pay one-half of the fees and expenses of the
Mediator. The Final Closing Statement, as agreed upon by the parties and/or
determined under this subsection (d), shall be final and binding upon the
parties.

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

          Buyer and Seller agree to use their reasonable best efforts to agree
on an appropriate allocation of the Purchase Price before the Closing Date.
Seller and Buyer shall each report the transfer of the Assets and the assumption
of the Liabilities for tax purposes in accordance with such allocation.  Seller
and Buyer each agree to complete Federal Form 8594, "Acquisition Statement Under
Section 1060" ("Form 8594"), consistent with this allocation of consideration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may change any such report in the
event of a dispute with any taxing authority or take any other step to settle or
resolve such a dispute.

             (c)  It is the intent and understanding of each party hereto that
if, in any action before any court or agency legally empowered to enforce this
Section 12.3, any term, restriction, covenant, or promise is found to be
unreasonable and for that reason unenforceable, then such term, restriction,
covenant, or promise shall not thereby be terminated but that it shall be deemed
modified to the extent necessary to make it enforceable by such court or agency
and, if it cannot be so modified, that it shall be deemed amended to delete
therefrom such provision or portion adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable,
such modification or amendment in any event to apply only with respect to the
operation of this Section 12.3 in the particular jurisdiction in which such
adjudication is made.

     12.4.   Entire Agreement and Amendment.
             ------------------------------

             This Agreement sets out the complete agreement of the parties with
respect to the matters discussed herein, and supersedes all prior agreements
between the parties, whether written or oral, with respect to such matters. No
provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived except as expressly stated
in writing and executed by both parties.

     12.5.   Dispute Resolution.
             ------------------

             (a)  Seller and Buyer each agree to submit all matters of
disagreement, dispute, or controversy between Seller and Buyer under this
Agreement to binding arbitration (except for matters to be resolved by the
Mediator concerning the Preliminary Closing Statement and the Final Closing
Statement pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof) before the American Arbitration
Association (the "AAA"). All arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by three
arbitrators in Charleston, West Virginia, under the rules of the AAA, except as
otherwise provided in this Section 12.5. The party submitting a matter to
arbitration shall include in the submission the name and address of the
arbitrator selected by it, and the non-submitting party shall submit the name
and address of the arbitrator selected by it within twenty (20) calendar days
after receipt of notice of the submission. The two arbitrators selected by
Seller and Buyer shall be instructed to appoint a third arbitrator as soon as
practicable. If they fail to do so within twenty (20) calendar days after the
appointment of the non-submitting party's arbitrator, the AAA may appoint the
third arbitrator and shall appoint the third arbitrator within thirty (30)
calendar days after the appointment of the non-submitting party's arbitrator.

             (b)  The fees and expenses of each arbitrator and all other costs
and expenses incurred in the arbitration, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
shall be borne as specified in the arbitrators' award.

             (c)  Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section 12.5 either
party shall be entitled to commence a suit at law for the purpose of (i)
obtaining appropriate equitable relief in the event of a violation, or imminent
violation, of Section 6.6 or 7.3 of this Agreement or (ii) enforcing the
indemnification obligation under Article X of this Agreement. Neither party
shall prejudice any right to seek arbitration of any dispute arising with
respect to Section 6.6 or 7.3 or Article X by commencing such a suit at law.

     12.6.   Counterparts.
             ------------

             This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each
of which shall constitute an original, but all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.

     12.7.   Severability.
             ------------

             If any portion of this Agreement is declared by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such declaration shall
not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

     12.8.   Applicable Law.
             --------------
