Liabilities for its own account from and after the close of
business on the Closing Date. Thus, except as otherwise
specifically provided in this Agreement, items of income and
expense shall be prorated as of the close of business on the
Closing Date, and shall be settled between Sellers and Purchaser on
the Closing Date, whether or not such adjustment would normally be
made as of such time. Items of proration will be handled
(14)
as an adjustment to the Purchase Price and not as
adjustments to the Estimated Payment Amount, unless otherwise

adjustments shall include, without limitation: (i) amounts prepaid
and unused for safe deposit box rentals; (ii) rental and other
payments under the Branch Leases and Tenant Lease, including
security deposits; (iii) sales, real estate, and use taxes (other
than such sales, real estate, and use taxes that arise as a result
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement which shall be
paid in accordance with Section 4.1 hereof); (iv) insurance
premiums paid or payable to the FDIC attributable to insurance
coverage for the Deposit Liabilities for the period from and after
the Closing Date; (v) fees for customary annual or periodic
licenses or permits; (vi) water, sewer, fuel, and utility charges;
(vii) other prepaid items; (viii) insurance premiums and similar
expenses relating to the physical plant of the Branches; (ix)
workers compensation payments required by applicable law for
Transferred Employees; (x) state or federal taxes collected but not
remitted; (xi) special assessments and special district levies on
the Real Property; (xii) condominium association fees, assessments
and common area expenses, and (xiii) ATM Cash adjustments as
necessitated by network settlement cut-off times, in each case as
of the close of business on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if accurate arrangements cannot be made as of the
Closing Date for any of the foregoing items of proration, the
parties shall apportion the charges for the foregoing items on the
basis of the bill therefor for the most recent billing period prior
to the Closing Date.
(c)
In the event that the aggregate amount of Deposit Liabilities as of
the Closing Date are less than $85,000,000, the Premium paid for
the Deposit Liabilities will be adjusted as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the aggregate Deposit
Liabilities are:
|
|
Then the Premium will
be:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$72,999,999 or less
|
|
$6,000,000
|
|
|
$73,000,000 to $75,999,999
|
|
$6,200,000
|
|
