         expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the
         consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

                  (o) Construction. In the event an ambiguity or question or
         intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as
         if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden
         of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto by virtue
         of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

                  (p) Specific Performance. Each of the parties hereto
         acknowledges and agrees that the other parties hereto would suffer
         irreparable damage for which an adequate remedy at law would not be
         available in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement is not
         performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise is
         breached. Accordingly, each of the parties hereto agrees that the
         non-breaching parties shall be entitled to an injunction,

         competent jurisdiction to prevent breaches of, and to specifically
         enforce, the provisions of this Agreement.

                  (q) Publicity. No party hereto shall, directly or through its
         affiliates, make any public statement, announcement, press release or
         other disclosure regarding this Agreement, the other party or its
         relationship under this Agreement or with the other party without the
         prior consent of the other party (which consent shall not be
         unreasonably withheld or delayed), except (i) to the extent such
         disclosure is required by law, judicial process or rule, regulation or
         requirement of the Nasdaq Stock Market, or (ii) to the Bank.

                  (r) Interpretation of Certain Provisions. Except as otherwise
         expressly provided herein, as used in this Agreement:

                           (i) Any reference to any federal, state, local or
                  foreign statute or law shall be deemed also to include a
                  reference to all rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

                           (ii) The term "including" means "including, without
                  limitation".

                           (iii) The term "Person" means and includes an

                  company, joint venture, trust, association, unincorporated
                  organization, governmental or regulating body or authority, or

                  and the terms "Person" and "Persons" and the like shall be
                  construed to mean such number and gender as the context, the
                  circumstances or its antecedent may require.

                           (v) The terms "hereof", "herein", "hereunder" and
                  words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole,
                  and not to any Section, subsection or clause of this
                  Agreement.
