designate.

(xiii) If requested by Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being
registered and/or sold in connection therewith, or the managing underwriter(s), if any,
promptly include in a prospectus supplement or amendment such information as the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and/or sold in
connection therewith or managing underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request in order
to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required
filings of such prospectus supplement or such amendment as soon as practicable after the
Company has received such request.

(xiv) Timely provide to its security holders earning statements satisfying the
provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

(d) Suspension of Sales. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company that a
registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement contains or may contain an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits or may omit to state a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that circumstances exist
that make inadvisable use of such registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement,
the Investor and each Holder of Registrable Securities shall forthwith discontinue disposition of
Registrable Securities until the Investor and/or Holder has received copies of a supplemented or
amended prospectus or prospectus supplement, or until the Investor and/or such Holder is
advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus
supplement may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Company, the Investor and/or such
Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than
permanent file copies then in the Investor and/or such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus
and, if applicable, prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities current at the time
of receipt of such notice. The total number of days that any such suspension may be in effect in
any 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days.

securities held by such Holder (and its Affiliates, partners, members and former members) shall

(i) Neither the Investor nor any Holder shall use any free writing prospectus
(as defined in Rule 405) in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without the
prior written consent of the Company.

(ii) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take
any action pursuant to Section 4.5(c) that Investor and/or the selling Holders and the
underwriters, if any, shall furnish to the Company such information regarding
themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of

-25-

(09533 1-0002-10033-NYO2.2689565.12


to the Company, the managing underwriters and the Investor (if the Investor is
participating in the underwriting).

(vi) If either (x) the Company grants “piggyback” registration rights to one or
more third parties to include their securities in an underwritten offering under the Shelf
Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii) or (y) a Piggyback Registration
under Section 4.5(a)(iv) relates to an underwritten offering on behalf of the Company,
and in either case the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable
opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the
number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering
(including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Company will include in
such offering only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such
managing underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the
offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities
will be so included in the following order of priority: (A) first, in the case of a Piggyback
Registration under Section 4.5(a)(iv), the securities the Company proposes to sell, (B)
then the Registrable Securities of the Investor and all other Holders who have requested
inclusion of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii) or Section 4.5(a)(iv), as
applicable, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of such securities or shares
owned by each such person and (C) lastly, any other securities of the Company that have
been requested to be so included, subject to the terms of this Agreement; provided,
however, that if the Company has, prior to the Signing Date, entered into an agreement
with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the order of priority contemplated
hereby then it shall apply the order of priority in such conflicting agreement to the extent
that it would otherwise result in a breach under such agreement.

(b) Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with
any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder shall be borne by the Company. All
Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder shall be borne by the
holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the aggregate offering or sale price
of the securities so registered.

(c) Obligations of the Company. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts,
for so long as there are Registrable Securities outstanding, to take such actions as are under its
control to not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) and
to remain a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) if it
has such status on the Signing Date or becomes eligible for such status in the future. In addition,
whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities or facilitate the
distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective Shelf Registration Statement, the
Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:

(i) Prepare and file with the SEC a prospectus supplement with respect to a
proposed offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective registration
statement, subject to Section 4.5(d), keep such registration statement effective and keep

Registrable Securities either pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii) or 4.5(a)(iv) prior to the date of such
Holder’s forfeiture.

(m) — Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no
adequate remedy at law if the Company fails to perform any of its obligations under this Section
4.5 and that the Investor and the Holders from time to time may be irreparably harmed by any
such failure, and accordingly agree that the Investor and such Holders, in addition to any other
remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, to the fullest extent permitted and
enforceable under applicable law shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the
obligations of the Company under this Section 4.5 in accordance with the terms and conditions
of this Section 4.5.

(n) No Inconsistent Agreements. The Company shall not, on or after the Signing
Date, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that may impair the rights granted to
the Investor and the Holders under this Section 4.5 or that otherwise conflicts with the provisions
hereof in any manner that may impair the rights granted to the Investor and the Holders under
this Section 4.5. In the event the Company has, prior to the Signing Date, entered into any
agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Investor
and the Holders under this Section 4.5 (including agreements that are inconsistent with the order
of priority contemplated by Section 4.5(a)(vi)) or that may otherwise conflict with the provisions
hereof, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to amend such agreements to ensure
they are consistent with the provisions of this Section 4.5.

(0) Certain Offerings by the Investor. In the case of any securities held by the
Investor that cease to be Registrable Securities solely by reason of clause (2) in the definition of
“Registrable Securities,” the provisions of Sections 4.5(a)(ii), clauses (iv), (ix) and (x)-(xii) of
Section 4,5(c), Section 4.5(g) and Section 4.5(i) shall continue to apply until such securities
otherwise cease to be Registrable Securities. In any such case, an “underwritten” offering or
other disposition shall include any distribution of such securities on behalf of the Investor by one
or more broker-dealers, an “underwriting agreement” shall include any purchase agreement
entered into by such broker-dealers, and any “registration statement” or “prospectus” shall
include any offering document approved by the Company and used in connection with such
distribution.

(p) Registered Sales of the Warrant. The Holders agree to sell the Warrant or any
portion thereof under the Shelf Registration Statement only beginning 30 days after notifying the
Company of any such sale, during which 30-day period the Investor and all Holders of the
Warrant shall take reasonable steps to agree to revisions to the Warrant to permit a public
distribution of the Warrant, including entering into a warrant agreement and appointing a warrant
agent.

4.6 Voting of Warrant Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Investor shall not exercise any voting rights with respect to the Warrant Shares.

calendar days after the Original Issue Date. In the event that any Dividend Payment Date would
otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, the dividend payment due on that date will be
postponed to the next day that is a Business Day and no additional dividends will accrue as a
result of that postponement. The period from and including any Dividend Payment Date to, but
excluding, the next Dividend Payment Date is a “Dividend Period”, provided that the initial
Dividend Period shall be the period from and including the Original Issue Date to, but excluding,
the next Dividend Payment Date.

Dividends that are payable on Designated Preferred Stock in respect of any Dividend
Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The
amount of dividends payable on Designated Preferred Stock on any date prior to the end of a
Dividend Period, and for the initial Dividend Period, shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and actual days elapsed over a 30-day month.

Dividends that are payable on Designated Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date
will be payable to holders of record of Designated Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock
register of the Corporation on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15th calendar day
immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date or such other record date fixed by the

than 60 nor less than 10 days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a “Dividend Record
Date”). Any such day that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether
or not such day is a Business Day.

Holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether
payable in cash, securities or other property, other than dividends (if any) declared and payable
on Designated Preferred Stock as specified in this Section 3 (subject to the other provisions of
the Certificate of Designations).

(b) Priority of Dividends. So long as any share of Designated Preferred Stock remains
outstanding, no dividend or distribution shall be declared or paid on the Common Stock or any
other shares of Junior Stock (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock) or
Parity Stock, subject to the immediately following paragraph in the case of Parity Stock, and no
Common Stock, Junior Stock or Parity Stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased,
redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries
unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest

on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock have been or are
contemporaneously declared and paid in full (or have been declared and a sum sufficient for the

validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Designated Preferred Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Designated Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry
form through The Depository Trust Corporation or any other similar facility, notice of
redemption may be given to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock at such time and in any
manner permitted by such facility. Each notice of redemption given to a holder shall state: (1) the
redemption date; (2) the number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if
less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be
redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price; and (4) the place or places where
certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

(d) Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of part of the shares of Designated
Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected either pro
rata or in such other manner as the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof
may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors
or a duly authorized committee thereof shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms
and conditions upon which shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to
time. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate
shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the holder thereof.

(e) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or
before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have
been deposited by the Corporation, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares
called for redemption, with a bank or trust company doing business in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, and having a capital and surplus of at least $500 million and
selected by the Board of Directors, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then,
notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been
surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on
all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed
outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date
cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on
such redemption from such bank or trust company, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the
end of three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to
the Corporation, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look
only to the Corporation for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

(f) Status of Redeemed Shares. Shares of Designated Preferred Stock that are redeemed,
repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall revert to authorized but unissued
shares of Preferred Stock (provided that any such cancelled shares of Designated Preferred Stock
may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than Designated Preferred
Stock).

Section 6. Conversion. Holders of Designated Preferred Stock shares shall have no right
to exchange or convert such shares into any other securities.

Section 7. Voting Rights.

disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registered offering of their
Registrable Securities.

(g) Indemnification.

(i) The Company agrees to indemnify each Holder and, if a Holder is a
person other than an individual, such Holder’s officers, directors, employees, agents,
representatives and Affiliates, and each Person, if any, that controls a Holder within the
meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “/ndemnitee”), against any and all losses, claims,
damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and
disbursements of attorneys and other professionals incurred in connection with
investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such losses, claims,
damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses), joint or several, arising out of or based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any
registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or any documents incorporated therein
by reference or contained in any free writing prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule
405) prepared by the Company or authorized by it in writing for use by such Holder (or
any amendment or supplement thereto); or any omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the Company
shall not be liable to such Indemnitee in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out
of or is based upon (A) an untrue statement or omission made in such registration
statement, including any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained
therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto or contained in any free writing
prospectus (as such term is defined in Rule 405) prepared by the Company or authorized
by it in writing for use by such Holder (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in
reliance upon and in conformity with information regarding such Indemnitee or its plan
of distribution or ownership interests which was furnished in writing to the Company by
such Indemnitee for use in connection with such registration statement, including any
such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any such
amendments or supplements thereto, or (B) offers or sales effected by or on behalf of
such Indemnitee “by means of” (as defined in Rule 159A) a “free writing prospectus” (as
defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the Company.

(ii) If the indemnification provided for in Section 4.5(g)(i) is unavailable to an
Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or
expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the Indemnitee harmless as
contemplated therein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall

“Initial Number” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(B).
“Issue Date” means the date set forth in Item 3 of Schedule A hereto.

“Market Price” means, with respect to a particular security, on any given day, the last
reported sale price regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the
average of the last closing bid and ask prices regular way, in either case on the principal national

listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, the average of the closing bid
and ask prices as furnished by two members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.
selected from time to time by the Company for that purpose. “Market Price” shall be determined
without reference to after hours or extended hours trading. If such security is not listed and
traded in a manner that the quotations referred to above are available for the period required
hereunder, the Market Price per share of Common Stock shall be deemed to be (i) in the event
that any portion of the Warrant is held by the Original Warrantholder, the fair market value per
share of such security as determined in good faith by the Original Warrantholder or (ii) in all
other circumstances, the fair market value per share of such security as determined in good faith
by the Board of Directors in reliance on an opinion of a nationally recognized independent
investment banking corporation retained by the Company for this purpose and certified in a
resolution to the Warrantholder. For the purposes of determining the Market Price of the
Common Stock on the "trading day" preceding, on or following the occurrence of an event, (i)

time of trading on the New York Stock Exchange or, if trading is closed at an earlier time, such
earlier time and (ii) that trading day shall end at the next regular scheduled closing time, or if
trading is closed at an earlier time, such earlier time (for the avoidance of doubt, and as an
example, if the Market Price is to be determined as of the last trading day preceding a specified
event and the closing time of trading on a particular day is 4:00 p.m. and the specified event
occurs at 5:00 p.m. on that day, the Market Price would be determined by reference to such 4:00
p.m. closing price).

Common Stock out of surplus or net profits legally available therefor (determined in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in effect from time to time), provided

any quarter exceed the amount set forth in Item 4 of Schedule A hereto, as adjusted for any
stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar transaction.

If the Warrantholder does not exercise this Warrant in its entirety, the
Warrantholder will be entitled to receive from the Company within a reasonable time, and in any
event not exceeding three business days, a new warrant in substantially identical form for the
purchase of that number of Shares equal to the difference between the number of Shares subject
to this Warrant and the number of Shares as to which this Warrant is so exercised.
Notwithstanding anything in this Warrant to the contrary, the Warrantholder hereby
acknowledges and agrees that its exercise of this Warrant for Shares is subject to the condition
that the Warrantholder will have first received any applicable Regulatory Approvals.

4, Issuance of Shares: Authorization; Listing. Certificates for Shares issued upon
exercise of this Warrant will be issued in such name or names as the Warrantholder may
designate and will be delivered to such named Person or Persons within a reasonable time, not to
exceed three business days after the date on which this Warrant has been duly exercised in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant. The Company hereby represents and warrants that
any Shares issued upon the exercise of this Warrant in accordance with the provisions of Section
3 will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all
taxes, liens and charges (other than liens or charges created by the Warrantholder, income and
franchise taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of the Warrant or taxes in respect of any
transfer occurring contemporaneously therewith). The Company agrees that the Shares so issued
will be deemed to have been issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date
on which this Warrant and payment of the Exercise Price are delivered to the Company in
accordance with the terms of this Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the
Company may then be closed or certificates representing such Shares may not be actually
delivered on such date. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, out of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of providing for the exercise of
this Warrant, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of
this Warrant at any time. The Company will (A) procure, at its sole expense, the listing of the
Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at any time, subject to issuance or notice of
issuance, on all principal stock exchanges on which the Common Stock is then listed or traded
and (B) maintain such listings of such Shares at all times after issuance. The Company will use
reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Shares may be issued without violation of any
applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities exchange on which the
Shares are listed or traded.

5. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Shares or scrip representing
fractional Shares shall be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional
Share to which the Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled, the Warrantholder shall be
entitled to receive a cash payment equal to the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last
trading day preceding the date of exercise less the pro-rated Exercise Price for such fractional
share.

6. No Rights as Stockholders; Transfer Books. This Warrant does not entitle the
Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the
date of exercise hereof. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against transfer of
this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

entitled, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth, to acquire from the
Company, in whole or in part, after the receipt of all applicable Regulatory Approvals, if any, up
to an aggregate of the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock set forth
in Item 6 of Schedule A hereto, at a purchase price per share of Common Stock equal to the
Exercise Price. The number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares’’) and the Exercise Price
are subject to adjustment as provided herein, and all references to “Common Stock,” “Shares”
and “Exercise Price” herein shall be deemed to include any such adjustment or series of
adjustments.

3. Exercise of Warrant; Term. Subject to Section 2, to the extent permitted by
applicable laws and regulations, the right to purchase the Shares represented by this Warrant is
exercisable, in whole or in part by the Warrantholder, at any time or from time to time after the
execution and delivery of this Warrant by the Company on the date hereof, but in no event later
than 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the tenth anniversary of the Issue Date (the “Expiration
Time”), by (A) the surrender of this Warrant and Notice of Exercise annexed hereto, duly
completed and executed on behalf of the Warrantholder, at the principal executive office of the
Company located at the address set forth in Item 7 of Schedule A hereto (or such other office or
agency of the Company in the United States as it may designate by notice in writing to the
Warrantholder at the address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company), and
(B) payment of the Exercise Price for the Shares thereby purchased:

(i) by having the Company withhold, from the shares of Common Stock that
would otherwise be delivered to the Warrantholder upon such exercise, shares of Common stock
issuable upon exercise of the Warrant equal in value to the aggregate Exercise Price as to which
this Warrant is so exercised based on the Market Price of the Common Stock on the trading day
on which this Warrant is exercised and the Notice of Exercise is delivered to the Company
pursuant to this Section 3, or

(ii) with the consent of both the Company and the Warrantholder, by
tendering in cash, by certified or cashier’s check payable to the order of the Company, or by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company.


Warrantholder, make publicly available such information as necessary to permit sales pursuant to
Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and it will use reasonable best efforts to take such further
action as any Warrantholder may reasonably request, in each case to the extent required from
time to time to enable such holder to, if permitted by the terms of this Warrant and the Purchase
Agreement, sell this Warrant without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation
of the exemptions provided by (A) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may be
amended from time to time, or (B) any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the
SEC. Upon the written request of any Warrantholder, the Company will deliver to such
Warrantholder a written statement that it has complied with such requirements.

13. Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 13 is applicable to a single
event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event
shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 13 so as to result in
duplication:

(A) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Company
shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of
Common Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a
greater number of shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock
into a smaller number of shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at
the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such
subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the
Warrantholder after such date shall be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common
Stock which such holder would have owned or been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of
Common Stock subject to this Warrant after such date had this Warrant been exercised
immediately prior to such date. In such event, the Exercise Price in effect at the time of the
record date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision,
combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number obtained by dividing (x) the
product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such
adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record or effective date,
as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or reclassification
giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the
Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

(B) Certain Issuances of Common Shares or Convertible Securities. Until the earlier
of (i) the date on which the Original Warrantholder no longer holds this Warrant or any portion
thereof and (ii) the third anniversary of the Issue Date, if the Company shall issue shares of
Common Stock (or rights or warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into or
exchangeable (collectively, a “conversion”) for shares of Common Stock) (collectively,
“convertible securities”) (other than in Permitted Transactions (as defined below) or a
transaction to which subsection (A) of this Section 13 is applicable) without consideration or at a
consideration per share (or having a conversion price per share) that is less than 90% of the
Market Price on the last trading day preceding the date of the agreement on pricing such shares
(or such convertible securities) then, in such event:

similar transaction that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

4.5 Registration Rights.
(a) Registration.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company
covenants and agrees that as promptly as practicable after the Closing Date (and in any
event no later than 30 days after the Closing Date), the Company shall prepare and file
with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement covering all Registrable Securities (or
otherwise designate an existing Shelf Registration Statement filed with the SEC to cover
the Registrable Securities), and, to the extent the Shelf Registration Statement has not
theretofore been declared effective or is not automatically effective upon such filing, the
Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to
be declared or become effective and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement
continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act and usable for resale of
such Registrable Securities for a period from the date of its initial effectiveness until such
time as there are no Registrable Securities remaining (including by refiling such Shelf
Registration Statement (or a new Shelf Registration Statement) if the initial Shelf
Registration Statement expires). So long as the Company is a well-known seasoned
issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) at the time of filing of the Shelf
Registration Statement with the SEC, such Shelf Registration Statement shall be
designated by the Company as an automatic Shelf Registration Statement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if on the Signing Date the Company is not eligible to file
a registration statement on Form S-3, then the Company shall not be obligated to file a
Shelf Registration Statement unless and until requested to do so in writing by the
Investor.

(ii) Any registration pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(i) shall be effected by means of
a shelf registration on an appropriate form under Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a
“Shelf Registration Statement’). If the Investor or any other Holder intends to distribute
any Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering it shall promptly so
advise the Company and the Company shall take all reasonable steps to facilitate such
distribution, including the actions required pursuant to Section 4.5(c); provided that the
Company shall not be required to facilitate an underwritten offering of Registrable
Securities unless the expected gross proceeds from such offering exceed (i) 2% of the
initial aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Shares if such initial aggregate
liquidation preference is less than $2 billion and (ii) $200 million if the initial aggregate
liquidation preference of the Preferred Shares is equal to or greater than $2 billion. The
lead underwriters in any such distribution shall be selected by the Holders of a majority
of the Registrable Securities to be distributed; provided that to the extent appropriate and
permitted under applicable law, such Holders shall consider the qualifications of any
broker-dealer Affiliate of the Company in selecting the lead underwriters in any such
distribution.

(iii) | The Company shall not be required to effect a registration (including a
resale of Registrable Securities from an effective Shelf Registration Statement) or an
underwritten offering pursuant to Section 4.5(a): (A) with respect to securities that are
not Registrable Securities; or (B) if the Company has notified the Investor and all other
Holders that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, it would be materially
detrimental to the Company or its securityholders for such registration or underwritten
offering to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to
defer such registration for a period of not more than 45 days after receipt of the request of
the Investor or any other Holder; provided that such right to delay a registration or
underwritten offering shall be exercised by the Company (1) only if the Company has
generally exercised (or is concurrently exercising) similar black-out rights against holders
of similar securities that have registration rights and (2) not more than three times in any
12-month period and not more than 90 days in the aggregate in any 12-month period.

(iv) If during any period when an effective Shelf Registration Statement is not

registration pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(i) or a Special Registration, and the registration
form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of
Registrable Securities, the Company will give prompt written notice to the Investor and
all other Holders of its intention to effect such a registration (but in no event less than ten
days prior to the anticipated filing date) and will include in such registration all
Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests
for inclusion therein within ten business days after the date of the Company’s notice (a
“Piggyback Registration”). Any such person that has made such a written request may
withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written
notice to the Company and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth
business day prior to the planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The

(v) If the registration referred to in Section 4.5(a)(iv) is proposed to be
underwritten, the Company will so advise Investor and all other Holders as a part of the
written notice given pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(iv). In such event, the right of Investor
and all other Holders to registration pursuant to Section 4.5(a) will be conditioned upon
such persons’ participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such person’s
Registrable Securities in the underwriting if such securities are of the same class of
securities as the securities to be offered in the underwritten offering, and each such
person will (together with the Company and the other persons distributing their securities
through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with
the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company; provided
that the Investor (as opposed to other Holders) shall not be required to indemnify any
person in connection with any registration. If any participating person disapproves of the
terms of the underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice

Shares of Common Stock
of Fifth Third Bancorp

Issue Date: December 31, 2008

1. Definitions. Unless the context otherwise requires, when used herein the
following terms shall have the meanings indicated.

“Affiliate” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Purchase Agreement.

“Appraisal Procedure” means a procedure whereby two independent appraisers, one
chosen by the Company and one by the Original Warrantholder, shall mutually agree upon the
determinations then the subject of appraisal. Each party shall deliver a notice to the other
appointing its appraiser within 15 days after the Appraisal Procedure is invoked. If within 30
days after appointment of the two appraisers they are unable to agree upon the amount in
question, a third independent appraiser shall be chosen within 10 days thereafter by the mutual
consent of such first two appraisers. The decision of the third appraiser so appointed and
chosen shall be given within 30 days after the selection of such third appraiser. If three
appraisers shall be appointed and the determination of one appraiser is disparate from the
middle determination by more than twice the amount by which the other determination is
disparate from the middle determination, then the determination of such appraiser shall be
excluded, the remaining two determinations shall be averaged and such average shall be
binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Original Warrantholder; otherwise, the
average of all three determinations shall be binding upon the Company and the Original


Warrantholder. The costs of conducting any Appraisal Procedure shall be borne by the
Company.

“Board of Directors” means the board of directors of the Company, including any duly
authorized committee thereof.

“Business Combination” means a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or
similar transaction that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

institutions in the State of New York generally are authorized or required by law or other
governmental actions to close.

“Capital Stock” means (A) with respect to any Person that is a corporation or company,
any and all shares, interests, participations or other equivalents (however designated) of capital
or capital stock of such Person and (B) with respect to any Person that is not a corporation or
company, any and all partnership or other equity interests of such Person.

“Charter” means, with respect to any Person, its certificate or articles of incorporation,
articles of association, or similar organizational document.

“Common Stock” has the meaning ascribed to it in the Purchase Agreement.

“Company” means the Person whose name, corporate or other organizational form and
jurisdiction of organization is set forth in Item 1 of Schedule A hereto.

“Fair Market Value” means, with respect to any security or other property, the fair
market value of such security or other property as determined by the Board of Directors, acting

in good faith. For so long as the Original Warrantholder holds this Warrant or any portion
thereof, it may object in writing to the Board of Director’s calculation of fair market value within
10 days of receipt of written notice thereof. If the Original Warrantholder and the Company are
unable to agree on fair market value during the 10-day period following the delivery of the
Original Warrantholder’s objection, the Appraisal Procedure may be invoked by either party to


other provisions of this Section 3.1(b) and Section 3.1(c). The Board of Directors shall
recommend to the Company’s stockholders that such stockholders vote in favor of the
Stockholder Proposals. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall prepare (and the
Investor will reasonably cooperate with the Company to prepare) and file with the SEC as
promptly as practicable (but in no event more than ten business days after the Closing) a
preliminary proxy statement, shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to any comments of
the SEC or its staff thereon and to cause a definitive proxy statement related to such
stockholders’ meeting to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders not more than five business
days after clearance thereof by the SEC, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies
for such stockholder approval of the Stockholder Proposals. The Company shall notify the
Investor promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff with respect to the
proxy statement and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to
such proxy statement or for additional information and will supply the Investor with copies of all
correspondence between the Company or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the
SEC or its staff, on the other hand, with respect to such proxy statement. If at any time prior to
such stockholders’ meeting there shall occur any event that is required to be set forth in an
amendment or supplement to the proxy statement, the Company shall as promptly as practicable
prepare and mail to its stockholders such an amendment or supplement. Each of the Investor and
the Company agrees promptly to correct any information provided by it or on its behalf for use in
the proxy statement if and to the extent that such information shall have become false or
misleading in any material respect, and the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare
and mail to its stockholders an amendment or supplement to correct such information to the
extent required by applicable laws and regulations. The Company shall consult with the Investor
prior to filing any proxy statement, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and provide the
Investor with a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon. In the event that the approval of any
of the Stockholder Proposals is not obtained at such special stockholders meeting, the Company
shall include a proposal to approve (and the Board of Directors shall recommend approval of)
each such proposal at a meeting of its stockholders no less than once in each subsequent six-
month period beginning on January 1, 2009 until all such approvals are obtained or made.

Subsidiaries for inclusion in any proxy statement in connection with any such stockholders
meeting of the Company will, at the date it is filed with the SEC, when first mailed to the
Company’s stockholders and at the time of any stockholders meeting, and at the time of any
amendment or supplement thereof, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

3.2 Expenses. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Warrant, each of
the parties hereto will bear and pay all costs and expenses incurred by it or on its behalf in
connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the Warrant, including
fees and expenses of its own financial or other consultants, investment bankers, accountants and
counsel.

the Warrant on the Issue Date (adjusted to take into account all other theretofore made
adjustments pursuant to this Section 13).

() Other Events. For so long as the Original Warrantholder holds this Warrant or any
portion thereof, if any event occurs as to which the provisions of this Section 13 are not strictly
applicable or, if strictly applicable, would not, in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors of the Company, fairly and adequately protect the purchase rights of the Warrants in
accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of
Directors shall make such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with
such essential intent and principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith opinion of
the Board of Directors, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid. The Exercise Price or the
number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall not be adjusted in the event of a
change in the par value of the Common Stock or a change in the jurisdiction of incorporation of
the Company.

() Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of
Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 13, the
Company shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement showing in
reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in effect
and the number of Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and
the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage
prepaid, to each Warrantholder at the address appearing in the Company’s records.

(K) Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that the Company shall propose to take
any action of the type described in this Section 13 (but only if the action of the type described in
this Section 13 would result in an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into
which this Warrant is exercisable or a change in the type of securities or property to be delivered
upon exercise of this Warrant), the Company shall give notice to the Warrantholder, in the
manner set forth in Section 13(J), which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with respect
to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such notice
shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to indicate the
effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other securities or property
which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of any action which would
require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10 days prior to the date so
fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at least 15 days prior to the taking
of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the
legality or validity of any such action.

(L) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent
to the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 13, the
Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, New
York Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market or other applicable national securities exchange
or stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and
legally issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock that the Warrantholder
is entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 13.

UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY

WASHINGTON, D.C. 20220

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

The company set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Company”) intends to issue in a
private placement the number of shares of a series of its preferred stock set forth on Schedule A
hereto (the “Preferred Shares”) and a warrant to purchase the number of shares of its common
stock set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Warrant” and, together with the Preferred Shares, the
“Purchased Securities”) and the United States Department of the Treasury (the “/nvestor’”)
intends to purchase from the Company the Purchased Securities.

The purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the terms and conditions of the
purchase by the Investor of the Purchased Securities. Except to the extent supplemented or
superseded by the terms set forth herein or in the Schedules hereto, the provisions contained in
the Securities Purchase Agreement — Standard Terms attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Securities Purchase Agreement’) are incorporated by reference herein. Terms that are defined
in the Securities Purchase Agreement are used in this letter agreement as so defined. In the event
of any inconsistency between this letter agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, the
terms of this letter agreement shall govern.

Each of the Company and the Investor hereby confirms its agreement with the other party
with respect to the issuance by the Company of the Purchased Securities and the purchase by the
Investor of the Purchased Securities pursuant to this letter agreement and the Securities Purchase
Agreement on the terms specified on Schedule A hereto.

This letter agreement (including the Schedules hereto) and the Securities Purchase
Agreement (including the Annexes thereto) and the Warrant constitute the entire agreement, and
supersede all other prior agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both
written and oral, between the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This letter
agreement constitutes the “Letter Agreement” referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

This letter agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each such
counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts will together
constitute the same agreement. Executed signature pages to this letter agreement may be
delivered by facsimile and such facsimiles will be deemed as sufficient as if actual signature
pages had been delivered.

other Junior Stock or of Parity Stock or trust preferred securities for or into other Parity
Stock (with the same or lesser aggregate liquidation amount) or Junior Stock, in each
case set forth in this clause (G), solely to the extent required pursuant to binding
contractual agreements entered into prior to the Signing Date or any subsequent
agreement for the accelerated exercise, settlement or exchange thereof for Common
Stock (clauses (C) and (F), collectively, the “Permitted Repurchases”). “Share Dilution
Amount” means the increase in the number of diluted shares outstanding (determined in
accordance with GAAP, and as measured from the date of the Company’s most recently
filed Company Financial Statements prior to the Closing Date) resulting from the grant,
vesting or exercise of equity-based compensation to employees and equitably adjusted for
any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar transaction.

(b) Until such time as the Investor ceases to own any Preferred Shares, the Company
shall not repurchase any Preferred Shares from any holder thereof, whether by means of open
market purchase, negotiated transaction, or otherwise, other than Permitted Repurchases, unless
it offers to repurchase a ratable portion of the Preferred Shares then held by the Investor on the
same terms and conditions.

(c) | “Junior Stock” means Common Stock and any other class or series of stock of the
Company the terms of which expressly provide that it ranks junior to the Preferred Shares as to
dividend rights and/or as to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

expressly provide that such class or series will rank senior or junior to the Preferred Shares as to
dividend rights and/or as to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (in
each case without regard to whether dividends accrue cumulatively or non-cumulatively).

4.9 Repurchase of Investor Securities.

(a) Following the redemption in whole of the Preferred Shares held by the Investor or
the Transfer by the Investor of all of the Preferred Shares to one or more third parties not
affiliated with the Investor, the Company may repurchase, in whole or in part, at any time any
other equity securities of the Company purchased by the Investor pursuant to this Agreement or
the Warrant and then held by the Investor, upon notice given as provided in clause (b) below, at
the Fair Market Value of the equity security.

(b) Notice of every repurchase of equity securities of the Company held by the
Investor shall be given at the address and in the manner set forth for such party in Section 5.6.
Each notice of repurchase given to the Investor shall state: (i) the number and type of securities
to be repurchased, (ii) the Board of Director’s determination of Fair Market Value of such
securities and (iii) the place or places where certificates representing such securities are to be
surrendered for payment of the repurchase price. The repurchase of the securities specified in
the notice shall occur as soon as practicable following the determination of the Fair Market
Value of the securities.

thereof for Common Stock. “Share Dilution Amount” means the increase in the number of
diluted shares outstanding (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States, and as measured from the date of the Corporation’s consolidated

Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the
Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within a Dividend Period related to
such Dividend Payment Date) in full upon Designated Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity
Stock, all dividends declared on Designated Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock and

payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling

Parity Stock payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having
dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date

Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors determines not to pay any
dividend or a full dividend on a Dividend Payment Date, the Corporation will provide written
notice to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock prior to such Dividend Payment Date.

Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends (payable in cash, securities or
other property) as may be determined by the Board of Directors or any duly authorized
committee of the Board of Directors may be declared and paid on any securities, including
Common Stock and other Junior Stock, from time to time out of any funds legally available for

report of the Company; and such other reports and documents as the Investor or Holder
may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it
to sell any such securities to the public without registration; and

(iv) _ take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request, all to the
extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities
without registration under the Securities Act.

(b) The Investor will use reasonable best efforts to hold, and will use reasonable best

Article IV
Additional Agreements

4.1 Purchase for Investment. The Investor acknowledges that the Purchased Securities
and the Warrant Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state
securities laws. The Investor (a) is acquiring the Purchased Securities pursuant to an exemption
from registration under the Securities Act solely for investment with no present intention to
distribute them to any person in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable U.S. state
securities laws, (b) will not sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Purchased Securities or the
Warrant Shares, except in compliance with the registration requirements or exemption provisions
of the Securities Act and any applicable U.S. state securities laws, and (c) has such knowledge
and experience in financial and business matters and in investments of this type that it is capable
of evaluating the merits and risks of the Purchase and of making an informed investment
decision.

Warrant and the Warrant Shares will bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE
SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD
OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION
STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND

FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS.”

(c)  Asused in this Section 4.9, the following terms shall have the following
respective meanings:

(0) “Appraisal Procedure” means a procedure whereby two independent
appraisers, one chosen by the Company and one by the Investor, shall mutually agree
upon the Fair Market Value. Each party shall deliver a notice to the other appointing its
appraiser within 10 days after the Appraisal Procedure is invoked. If within 30 days after
appointment of the two appraisers they are unable to agree upon the Fair Market Value, a
third independent appraiser shall be chosen within 10 days thereafter by the mutual
consent of such first two appraisers. The decision of the third appraiser so appointed and
chosen shall be given within 30 days after the selection of such third appraiser. If three
appraisers shall be appointed and the determination of one appraiser is disparate from the
middle determination by more than twice the amount by which the other determination is
disparate from the middle determination, then the determination of such appraiser shall
be excluded, the remaining two determinations shall be averaged and such average shall
be binding and conclusive upon the Company and the Investor; otherwise, the average of
all three determinations shall be binding upon the Company and the Investor. The costs
of conducting any Appraisal Procedure shall be borne by the Company.

(ii) “Fair Market Value” means, with respect to any security, the fair market
value of such security as determined by the Board of Directors, acting in good faith in
reliance on an opinion of a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm
retained by the Company for this purpose and certified in a resolution to the Investor. If
the Investor does not agree with the Board of Director’s determination, it may object in
writing within 10 days of receipt of the Board of Director’s determination. In the event of
such an objection, an authorized representative of the Investor and the chief executive
officer of the Company shall promptly meet to resolve the objection and to agree upon
the Fair Market Value. If the chief executive officer and the authorized representative are
unable to agree on the Fair Market Value during the 10-day period following the delivery
of the Investor’s objection, the Appraisal Procedure may be invoked by either party to
determine the Fair Market Value by delivery of a written notification thereof not later
than the 30" day after delivery of the Investor’s objection.

4.10 Executive Compensation. Until such time as the Investor ceases to own any debt
or equity securities of the Company acquired pursuant to this Agreement or the Warrant, the
Company shall take all necessary action to ensure that its Benefit Plans with respect to its Senior
Executive Officers comply in all respects with Section 111(b) of the EESA as implemented by
any guidance or regulation thereunder that has been issued and is in effect as of the Closing Date,
and shall not adopt any new Benefit Plan with respect to its Senior Executive Officers that does
not comply therewith. “Senior Executive Officers” means the Company's "senior executive
officers" as defined in subsection 111(b)(3) of the EESA and regulations issued thereunder,
including the rules set forth in 31 C.F.R. Part 30.

4.11 Bank and Thrift Holding Company Status. If the Company is a Bank Holding
Company or a Savings and Loan Holding Company on the Signing Date, then the Company shall

-33-

(09533 1-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12


(a) During the period from the Closing Date (or, if the approval of the Stockholder
Proposals is required, the date of such approval) until the date on which the Warrant has been
fully exercised, the Company shall at all times have reserved for issuance, free of preemptive or
similar rights, a sufficient number of authorized and unissued Warrant Shares to effectuate such
exercise. Nothing in this Section 3.3 shall preclude the Company from satisfying its obligations
in respect of the exercise of the Warrant by delivery of shares of Common Stock which are held
in the treasury of the Company. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, the
Company shall, at its expense, cause the Warrant Shares to be listed on the same national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed, subject to official notice of issuance,
and shall maintain such listing for so long as any Common Stock is listed on such exchange.

(b) If requested by the Investor, the Company shall promptly use its reasonable best
efforts to cause the Preferred Shares to be approved for listing on a national securities exchange
as promptly as practicable following such request.

3.4 Certain Notifications Until Closing. From the Signing Date until the Closing, the
Company shall promptly notify the Investor of (i) any fact, event or circumstance of which it is
aware and which would reasonably be expected to cause any representation or warranty of the
Company contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or to
cause any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement not to be
complied with or satisfied in any material respect and (ii) except as Previously Disclosed, any
fact, circumstance, event, change, occurrence, condition or development of which the Company
is aware and which, individually or in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to
have a Company Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that delivery of any notice
pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall not limit or affect any rights of or remedies available to the
Investor; provided, further, that a failure to comply with this Section 3.4 shall not constitute a
breach of this Agreement or the failure of any condition set forth in Section 1.2 to be satisfied
unless the underlying Company Material Adverse Effect or material breach would independently
result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 1.2 to be satisfied.

3.5 Access, Information and Confidentiality.

(a) From the Signing Date until the date when the Investor holds an amount of
Preferred Shares having an aggregate liquidation value of less than 10% of the Purchase Price,
the Company will permit the Investor and its agents, consultants, contractors and advisors (x)
acting through the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, to examine the corporate books and
make copies thereof and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Company and the
Company Subsidiaries with the principal officers of the Company, all upon reasonable notice and
at such reasonable times and as often as the Investor may reasonably request and (y) to review
any information material to the Investor’s investment in the Company provided by the Company
to its Appropriate Federal Banking Agency. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall
be conducted during normal business hours and in such manner as not to interfere unreasonably
with the conduct of the business of the Company, and nothing herein shall require the Company
or any Company Subsidiary to disclose any information to the Investor to the extent (i)
prohibited by applicable law or regulation, or (ii) that such disclosure would reasonably be

General Counsel


Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, at a
redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) except as
otherwise provided below, any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as
provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) (regardless of whether any dividends
are actually declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or
after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Corporation, at its option, subject to the
approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, in whole or in part, at any
time and from time to time, the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding,
upon notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i)
the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) except as otherwise provided below, any accrued and
unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such
amount) (regardless of whether any dividends are actually declared) to, but excluding, the date
fixed for redemption; provided that (x) the Corporation (or any successor by Business
Combination) has received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than the Minimum Amount (plus
the “Minimum Amount” as defined in the relevant certificate of designations for each other
outstanding series of preferred stock of such successor that was originally issued to the United
States Department of the Treasury (the “Successor Preferred Stock”) in connection with the
Troubled Asset Relief Program Capital Purchase Program) from one or more Qualified Equity
Offerings (including Qualified Equity Offerings of such successor), and (y) the aggregate
redemption price of the Designated Preferred Stock (and any Successor Preferred Stock)
redeemed pursuant to this paragraph may not exceed the aggregate net cash proceeds received by
the Corporation (or any successor by Business Combination) from such Qualified Equity
Offerings (including Qualified Equity Offerings of such successor).

The redemption price for any shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be payable on
the redemption date to the holder of such shares against surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing
such shares to the Corporation or its agent. Any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a
redemption date that occurs subsequent to the Dividend Record Date for a Dividend Period shall
not be paid to the holder entitled to receive the redemption price on the redemption date, but
rather shall be paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on such Dividend Record Date
relating to the Dividend Payment Date as provided in Section 3 above.

(b) No Sinking Fund. The Designated Preferred Stock will not be subject to any
mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Designated Preferred
Stock will have no right to require redemption or repurchase of any shares of Designated
Preferred Stock.

(c) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Designated Preferred

Stock shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the
shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the
Corporation. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date
fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this Subsection shall be conclusively
presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure
duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any
holder of shares of Designated Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the

connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the
provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by
such registration statement.

(iii) Furnish to the Holders and any underwriters such number of copies of the
applicable registration statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto
(including in each case all exhibits) and of a prospectus, including a preliminary
prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other

Registrable Securities owned or to be distributed by them.

(iv) Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered
by such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders or any managing

national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without
the right to receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of
the securities, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect
of one share of Common Stock (such amount and/or Fair Market Value, the “Per Share Fair
Market Value”) divided by (y) such Market Price on such date specified in clause (x); such
adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the
number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number
obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the
distribution giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. In the case of adjustment for a cash
dividend that is, or is coincident with, a regular quarterly cash dividend, the Per Share Fair
Market Value would be reduced by the per share amount of the portion of the cash dividend that
would constitute an Ordinary Cash Dividend. In the event that such distribution is not so made,
the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect
shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the Board of Directors determines not to
distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights, cash or warrants, as the case may
be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect and the number of Shares that would then
be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if such record date had not been fixed.

(D) Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. In case the Company effects a Pro Rata
Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price determined
by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of such Pro
Rata Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y)
the Market Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first
public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata
Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which
the denominator shall be the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so
repurchased and (ii) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day
immediately preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of
the intent to effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. In such event, the number of shares of Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by
dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant
before such adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata
Repurchase giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, no increase to
the Exercise Price or decrease in the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant
shall be made pursuant to this Section 13(D).

(E) Business Combinations. In case of any Business Combination or reclassification
of Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock referred to in Section 13(A)),
the Warrantholder’s right to receive Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be converted into
the right to exercise this Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or
property (including cash) which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such Business
Combination or reclassification) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such

“accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412
of the Code), whether or not waived, has occurred in the three years prior to the Signing Date or
is reasonably expected to occur, (3) the fair market value of the assets under each Plan exceeds
the present value of all benefits accrued under such Plan (determined based on the assumptions
used to fund such Plan) and (4) neither the Company nor any member of its Controlled Group
has incurred in the six years prior to the Signing Date, or reasonably expects to incur, any
liability under Title IV of ERISA (other than contributions to the Plan or premiums to the PBGC

case may be, for as long as the Investor owns any Purchased Securities or Warrant Shares. The
Company shall redeem all Purchased Securities and Warrant Shares held by the Investor prior to
terminating its status as a Bank Holding Company or Savings and Loan Holding Company, as

Securities or Warrant Shares, the Company, to the extent it is not itself an insured depository
institution, agrees to remain predominantly engaged in financial activities. A company is
predominantly engaged in financial activities if the annual gross revenues derived by the

depository institutions), on a consolidated basis, from engaging in activities that are financial in
nature or are incidental to a financial activity under subsection (k) of Section 4 of the Bank

REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL
GIVE TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
INSTRUMENT ARE TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE
EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND.”

(d) In the event that any Purchased Securities or Warrant Shares (i) become registered
under the Securities Act or (ii) are eligible to be transferred without restriction in accordance
with Rule 144 or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act (other than Rule
144A), the Company shall issue new certificates or other instruments representing such
Purchased Securities or Warrant Shares, which shall not contain the applicable legends in
Sections 4.2(a) and (c) above; provided that the Investor surrenders to the Company the
previously issued certificates or other instruments. Upon Transfer of all or a portion of the
Warrant in compliance with Section 4.4, the Company shall issue new certificates or other
instruments representing the Warrant, which shall not contain the applicable legend in Section
4.2(b) above; provided that the Investor surrenders to the Company the previously issued
certificates or other instruments.

4.3 Certain Transactions. The Company will not merge or consolidate with, or sell,
transfer or lease all or substantially all of its property or assets to, any other party unless the
successor, transferee or lessee party (or its ultimate parent entity), as the case may be (if not the
Company), expressly assumes the due and punctual performance and observance of each and
every covenant, agreement and condition of this Agreement to be performed and observed by the
Company.

4.4 Transfer of Purchased Securities and Warrant Shares; Restrictions on Exercise of
the Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Investor shall be
permitted to transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) all or a portion of the
Purchased Securities or Warrant Shares at any time, and the Company shall take all steps as may
be reasonably requested by the Investor to facilitate the Transfer of the Purchased Securities and
the Warrant Shares; provided that the Investor shall not Transfer a portion or portions of the
Warrant with respect to, and/or exercise the Warrant for, more than one-half of the Initial
Warrant Shares (as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 13
thereof) in the aggregate until the earlier of (a) the date on which the Company (or any successor
by Business Combination) has received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than the Purchase
Price (and the purchase price paid by the Investor to any such successor for securities of such
successor purchased under the CPP) from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (including
Qualified Equity Offerings of such successor) and (b) December 31, 2009. “Qualified Equity

applicable risk-based capital guidelines of the Company’s Appropriate Federal Banking Agency

equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and of the
Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors,
whether the untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates
to information supplied by the Company or by the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission; the Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5(g)(ii) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in Section 4.5(g)(i). No Indemnitee guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from the Company if the Company was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.

(h) Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of the Investor to registration of
Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 4.5(a) may be assigned by the Investor to a transferee
or assignee of Registrable Securities with a liquidation preference or, in the case of Registrable
Securities other than Preferred Shares, a market value, no less than an amount equal to (i) 2% of
the initial aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Shares if such initial aggregate
liquidation preference is less than $2 billion and (ii) $200 million if the initial aggregate
liquidation preference of the Preferred Shares is equal to or greater than $2 billion; provided,
however, the transferor shall, within ten days after such transfer, furnish to the Company written
notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the number and type of
Registrable Securities that are being assigned. For purposes of this Section 4.5(h), “market
value” per share of Common Stock shall be the last reported sale price of the Common Stock on
the national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading on
the last trading day prior to the proposed transfer, and the “market value” for the Warrant (or any
portion thereof) shall be the market value per share of Common Stock into which the Warrant (or
such portion) is exercisable less the exercise price per share.

(i) Clear Market. With respect to any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities
by the Investor or other Holders pursuant to this Section 4.5, the Company agrees not to effect
(other than pursuant to such registration or pursuant to a Special Registration) any public sale or
distribution, or to file any Shelf Registration Statement (other than such registration or a Special
Registration) covering, in the case of an underwritten offering of Common Stock or Warrants,
any of its equity securities or, in the case of an underwritten offering of Preferred Shares, any
Preferred Stock of the Company, or, in each case, any securities convertible into or exchangeable
or exercisable for such securities, during the period not to exceed ten days prior and 60 days
following the effective date of such offering or such longer period up to 90 days as may be
requested by the managing underwriter for such underwritten offering. The Company also
agrees to cause such of its directors and senior executive officers to execute and deliver
customary lock-up agreements in such form and for such time period up to 90 days as may be
requested by the managing underwriter. “Special Registration” means the registration of (A)
equity securities and/or options or other rights in respect thereof solely registered on Form S-4 or
Form S-8 (or successor form) or (B) shares of equity securities and/or options or other rights in
respect thereof to be offered to directors, members of management, employees, consultants,

reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, (i) the Company and each
Company Subsidiary owns or otherwise has the right to use, all intellectual property rights,
including all trademarks, trade dress, trade names, service marks, domain names, patents,
inventions, trade secrets, know-how, works of authorship and copyrights therein, that are used in
the conduct of their existing businesses and all rights relating to the plans, design and
specifications of any of its branch facilities (“Proprietary Rights”) free and clear of all liens and
any claims of ownership by current or former employees, contractors, designers or others and (ii)
neither the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries is materially infringing, diluting,
misappropriating or violating, nor has the Company or any or the Company Subsidiaries received
any written (or, to the knowledge of the Company, oral) communications alleging that any of
them has materially infringed, diluted, misappropriated or violated, any of the Proprietary Rights
owned by any other person. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, to the Company’s knowledge, no other
person is infringing, diluting, misappropriating or violating, nor has the Company or any or the
Company Subsidiaries sent any written communications since January 1, 2006 alleging that any
person has infringed, diluted, misappropriated or violated, any of the Proprietary Rights owned
by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries.

(v) Brokers and Finders. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any
financial advisory, brokerage, finder's or other fee or commission in connection with this
Agreement or the Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby based upon
arrangements made by or on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for which the
Investor could have any liability.

its commercially reasonable efforts in good faith to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to
do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or desirable, or advisable under applicable
laws, so as to permit consummation of the Purchase as promptly as practicable and otherwise to
enable consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party to that end.

(b) If the Company is required to obtain any stockholder approvals set forth on
Schedule C, then the Company shall comply with this Section 3.1(b) and Section 3.1(c). The
Company shall call a special meeting of its stockholders, as promptly as practicable following
the Closing, to vote on proposals (collectively, the “Stockholder Proposals”) to (i) approve the
exercise of the Warrant for Common Stock for purposes of the rules of the national security
exchange on which the Common Stock is listed and/or (ii) amend the Company’s Charter to

(hereinafter the “Preferred Directors” and each a “Preferred Director”) to fill such newly
created directorships at the Corporation’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or at a special
meeting called for that purpose prior to such next annual meeting) and at each subsequent annual
meeting of stockholders until all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods,
including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section
3(a) above, dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock
have been declared and paid in full at which time such right shall terminate with respect to the
Designated Preferred Stock, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting
in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned; provided
that it shall be a qualification for election for any Preferred Director that the election of such
Preferred Director shall not cause the Corporation to violate any corporate governance
requirements of any securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities of the
Corporation may then be listed or traded that listed or traded companies must have a majority of
independent directors. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Designated
Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock as a class to vote for directors as provided above, the
Preferred Directors shall cease to be qualified as directors, the term of office of all Preferred
Directors then in office shall terminate immediately and the authorized number of directors shall

filled, only by the affirmative vote of the holders a majority of the shares of Designated Preferred
Stock at the time outstanding voting separately as a class together with the holders of shares of
Voting Parity Stock, to the extent the voting rights of such holders described above are then
exercisable. If the office of any Preferred Director becomes vacant for any reason other than
removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining Preferred Director may choose a successor who
shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred.

Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting as a separate class, given in person or
by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose,

Business Combination or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon
consummation of such Business Combination or reclassification; and in any such case, if
necessary, the provisions set forth herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the
Warrantholder shall be appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably
be, to the Warrantholder’s right to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares of stock or
other securities or property pursuant to this paragraph. In determining the kind and amount of
stock, securities or the property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant following the
consummation of such Business Combination, if the holders of Common Stock have the right to
elect the kind or amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Business
Combination, then the consideration that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive upon
exercise shall be deemed to be the types and amounts of consideration received by the majority
of all holders of the shares of common stock that affirmatively make an election (or of all such
holders if none make an election).

(F) Rounding of Calculations: Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this
Section 13 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest one-
hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 13 to the
contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into
which this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less
than $0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount shall be
carried forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together
with any subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or
amounts so carried forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/10th of a share of Common Stock, or
more.

(G) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In
any case in which the provisions of this Section 13 shall require that an adjustment shall become
effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the
occurrence of such event (i) issuing to the Warrantholder of this Warrant exercised after such
record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock
issuable upon such exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above
the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment
and (ii) paying to such Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of
Common Stock; provided, however, that the Company upon request shall deliver to such
Warrantholder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such Warrantholder’s right
to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring such
adjustment.

(H) Completion of Qualified Equity Offering. In the event the Company (or any
successor by Business Combination) completes one or more Qualified Equity Offerings on or
prior to December 31, 2009 that result in the Company (or any such successor ) receiving
aggregate gross proceeds of not less than 100% of the aggregate liquidation preference of the
Preferred Shares (and any preferred stock issued by any such successor to the Original
Warrantholder under the CPP), the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of
this Warrant then held by the Original Warrantholder shall be thereafter reduced by a number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the product of (i) 0.5 and (ii) the number of shares underlying
