other date) and (z) Sections 2.2(h) through (v) (disregarding all qualifications or 

limitations set forth in such representations and warranties as to “materiality”, “Company 

Material Adverse Effect” and words of similar import) shall be true and correct as though 

made on and as of the Closing Date (other than representations and warranties that by 

their terms speak as of another date, which representations and warranties shall be true 

and correct as of such other date), except to the extent that the failure of such 

representations and warranties referred to in this Section 1.2(d)(i)(A)(z) to be so true and 

correct, individually or in the aggregate, does not have and would not reasonably be 

expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect and (B) the Company shall have 
-3-

performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by it under this

satisfied; 

(v) each of the Company’s Senior Executive Officers shall have delivered to 

the Investor a written waiver in the form attached hereto as Annex B releasing the

form attached hereto as Annex D and delivered such executed Warrant to the Investor or 

its designee(s). 

1.3 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to “Recitals,” 

“Articles,” “Sections,” or “Annexes” such reference shall be to a Recital, Article or Section of, 

or Annex to, this Securities Purchase Agreement – Standard Terms, and a reference to 

“Schedules” shall be to a Schedule to the Letter Agreement, in each case, unless otherwise 

indicated. The terms defined in the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, 

and vice versa. References to “herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and the like refer to this 

Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or provision, unless the context requires 

otherwise. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference 

purposes only and are not part of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” "includes” or 

“including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed followed by the words “without 

limitation.” No rule of construction against the draftsperson shall be applied in connection with 

the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, as this Agreement is the product of 

negotiation between sophisticated parties advised by counsel. All references to “$” or “dollars” 

mean the lawful currency of the United States of America. Except as expressly stated in this 

Agreement, all references to any statute, rule or regulation are to the statute, rule or regulation as 

amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time (and, in the case of statutes, 

include any rules and regulations promulgated under the statute) and to any section of any 

statute, rule or regulation include any successor to the section. References to a “business day” 

shall mean any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day on which banking institutions in the 

State of New York generally are authorized or required by law or other governmental actions to 

close. 

Article II

Representations and Warranties 

2.1 Disclosure. 

(a) “Company Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on (i) the 

business, results of operation or financial condition of the Company and its consolidated 

subsidiaries taken as a whole; provided, however, that Company Material Adverse Effect shall 

not be deemed to include the effects of (A) changes after the date of the Letter Agreement (the 

“Signing Date”) in general business, economic or market conditions (including changes 

generally in prevailing interest rates, credit availability and liquidity, currency exchange rates 

and price levels or trading volumes in the United States or foreign securities or credit markets), 

or any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declared or undeclared acts of war or terrorism, in 

each case generally affecting the industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate, 

(B) changes or proposed changes after the Signing Date in generally accepted accounting 

principles in the United States (“GAAP”) or regulatory accounting requirements, or authoritative 

interpretations thereof, (C) changes or proposed changes after the Signing Date in securities, 

banking and other laws of general applicability or related policies or interpretations of 

Governmental Entities (in the case of each of these clauses (A), (B) and (C), other than changes 
-5- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

or occurrences to the extent that such changes or occurrences have or would reasonably be 

expected to have a materially disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its 

consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole relative to comparable U.S. banking or financial 

services organizations), or (D) changes in the market price or trading volume of the Common 

Stock or any other equity, equity-related or debt securities of the Company or its consolidated 

subsidiaries (it being understood and agreed that the exception set forth in this clause (D) does 

not apply to the underlying reason giving rise to or contributing to any such change); or (ii) the 

ability of the Company to consummate the Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by 

this Agreement and the Warrant and perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder on a timely 

basis. 

(b) “Previously Disclosed” means information set forth or incorporated in the 

Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the most recently completed fiscal year of the 

Company filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) prior to the Signing 

Date (the “Last Fiscal Year”) or in its other reports and forms filed with or furnished to the SEC 

under Sections 13(a), 14(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange 

Act”) on or after the last day of the Last Fiscal Year and prior to the Signing Date. 

2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as Previously Disclosed, 

the Company represents and warrants to the Investor that as of the Signing Date and as of the 

Closing Date (or such other date specified herein): 

(a) Organization, Authority and Significant Subsidiaries. The Company has been 

duly incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of 

organization, with the necessary power and authority to own its properties and conduct its 

business in all material respects as currently conducted, and except as has not, individually or in 

the aggregate, had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse 

Effect, has been duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is in 

good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties or 

conducts any business so as to require such qualification; each subsidiary of the Company that is 

a “significant subsidiary” within the meaning of Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X under the 

Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) has been duly organized and is validly existing in 

good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. The Charter and bylaws of the 

Company, copies of which have been provided to the Investor prior to the Signing Date, are true, 

complete and correct copies of such documents as in full force and effect as of the Signing Date. 

(b) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company, and the outstanding 

capital stock of the Company (including securities convertible into, or exercisable or 

exchangeable for, capital stock of the Company) as of the most recent fiscal month-end 

preceding the Signing Date (the “Capitalization Date”) is set forth on Schedule B. The 

outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and are validly 

issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and subject to no preemptive rights (and 

were not issued in violation of any preemptive rights). Except as provided in the Warrant, as of 

the Signing Date, the Company does not have outstanding any securities or other obligations 

providing the holder the right to acquire Common Stock that is not reserved for issuance as 
-6- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

specified on Schedule B, and the Company has not made any other commitment to authorize, 

issue or sell any Common Stock. Since the Capitalization Date, the Company has not issued any 

shares of Common Stock, other than (i) shares issued upon the exercise of stock options or 

delivered under other equity-based awards or other convertible securities or warrants which were 

issued and outstanding on the Capitalization Date and disclosed on Schedule B and (ii) shares 

disclosed on Schedule B. 

(c) Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares have been duly and validly authorized, 

and, when issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, such Preferred Shares will be duly 

and validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, will not be issued in violation of any 

preemptive rights, and will rank pari passu with or senior to all other series or classes of 

Preferred Stock, whether or not issued or outstanding, with respect to the payment of dividends 

and the distribution of assets in the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the 

Company. 

(d) The Warrant and Warrant Shares. The Warrant has been duly authorized and, 

when executed and delivered as contemplated hereby, will constitute a valid and legally binding 

obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except 

as the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or 

similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable 

principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in 

equity (“Bankruptcy Exceptions”). The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the 

Warrant (the “Warrant Shares”) have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon 

exercise of the Warrant and when so issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrant will be 

validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, subject, if applicable, to the approvals of its 

stockholders set forth on Schedule C. 

(e) Authorization, Enforceability. 

(i) The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute and 

deliver this Agreement and the Warrant and, subject, if applicable, to the approvals of its 

stockholders set forth on Schedule C, to carry out its obligations hereunder and 

thereunder (which includes the issuance of the Preferred Shares, Warrant and Warrant 

Shares). The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and 

the Warrant and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby 

have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company 

and its stockholders, and no further approval or authorization is required on the part of 

the Company, subject, in each case, if applicable, to the approvals of its stockholders set 

forth on Schedule C. This Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of the Company 

enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy 

Exceptions. 

(ii) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this 

Agreement and the Warrant and the consummation of the transactions contemplated 

hereby and thereby and compliance by the Company with the provisions hereof and 
-7- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

thereof, will not (A) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or 

constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would 

constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance 

required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation 

of, any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets 

of the Company or any Company Subsidiary under any of the terms, conditions or 

provisions of (i) subject, if applicable, to the approvals of the Company’s stockholders set 

forth on Schedule C, its organizational documents or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, 

indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to 

which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any 

Company Subsidiary may be bound, or to which the Company or any Company 

Subsidiary or any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary 

may be subject, or (B) subject to compliance with the statutes and regulations referred to 

in the next paragraph, violate any statute, rule or regulation or any judgment, ruling, 

order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Company or any Company Subsidiary 

or any of their respective properties or assets except, in the case of clauses (A)(ii) and 

(B), for those occurrences that, individually or in the aggregate, have not had and would 

not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. 

(iii) Other than the filing of the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary 

of State of its jurisdiction of organization or other applicable Governmental Entity, any 

current report on Form 8-K required to be filed with the SEC, such filings and approvals 

as are required to be made or obtained under any state “blue sky” laws, the filing of any 

proxy statement contemplated by Section 3.1 and such as have been made or obtained, no 

notice to, filing with, exemption or review by, or authorization, consent or approval of, 

any Governmental Entity is required to be made or obtained by the Company in 

connection with the consummation by the Company of the Purchase except for any such 

notices, filings, exemptions, reviews, authorizations, consents and approvals the failure of 

which to make or obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be 

expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. 

(f) Anti-takeover Provisions and Rights Plan. The Board of Directors of the 

Company (the “Board of Directors”) has taken all necessary action to ensure that the transactions 

contemplated by this Agreement and the Warrant and the consummation of the transactions 

contemplated hereby and thereby, including the exercise of the Warrant in accordance with its 

terms, will be exempt from any anti-takeover or similar provisions of the Company’s Charter and 

bylaws, and any other provisions of any applicable “moratorium”, “control share”, “fair price”, 

“interested stockholder” or other anti-takeover laws and regulations of any jurisdiction. The 

Company has taken all actions necessary to render any stockholders’ rights plan of the Company 

inapplicable to this Agreement and the Warrant and the consummation of the transactions 

contemplated hereby and thereby, including the exercise of the Warrant by the Investor in 

accordance with its terms. 

(g) No Company Material Adverse Effect. Since the last day of the last completed 

fiscal period for which the Company has filed a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual 
-8- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

Report on Form 10-K with the SEC prior to the Signing Date, no fact, circumstance, event, 

change, occurrence, condition or development has occurred that, individually or in the aggregate, 

has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. 

(h) Company Financial Statements. Each of the consolidated financial statements of 

the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively the “Company Financial 

Statements”) included or incorporated by reference in the Company Reports filed with the SEC 

since December 31, 2006, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated financial 

position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates indicated therein (or if 

amended prior to the Signing Date, as of the date of such amendment) and the consolidated 

results of their operations for the periods specified therein; and except as stated therein, such 

financial statements (A) were prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent basis 

(except as may be noted therein), (B) have been prepared from, and are in accordance with, the 

books and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries and (C) complied as to form, 

as of their respective dates of filing with the SEC, in all material respects with the applicable 

accounting requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect 

thereto. 

(i) Reports. 

(i) Since December 31, 2006, the Company and each subsidiary of the 

Company (each a “Company Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Company Subsidiaries”) 

has timely filed all reports, registrations, documents, filings, statements and submissions, 

together with any amendments thereto, that it was required to file with any Governmental 

Entity (the foregoing, collectively, the “Company Reports”) and has paid all fees and 

assessments due and payable in connection therewith, except, in each case, as would not, 

individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material 

Adverse Effect. As of their respective dates of filing, the Company Reports complied in 

all material respects with all statutes and applicable rules and regulations of the 

applicable Governmental Entities. In the case of each such Company Report filed with or 

furnished to the SEC, such Company Report (A) did not, as of its date or if amended 

prior to the Signing Date, as of the date of such amendment, contain an untrue statement 

of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements

therefrom), except for any non-exclusive ownership and non-direct control that would not 

reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the system of internal 

accounting controls described below in this Section 2.2(i)(ii). The Company (A) has 

implemented and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in 

Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) to ensure that material information relating to the 

Company, including the consolidated Company Subsidiaries, is made known to the chief 

executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company by others within those

Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to

has taken any action (including any offering of any securities of the Company under 

circumstances which would require the integration of such offering with the offering of any of

promulgated thereunder), which might subject the offering, issuance or sale of any of the 

Purchased Securities to Investor pursuant to this Agreement to the registration requirements of

not been revoked, or such a determination letter has been timely applied for but not received by

regulatory policies and (iii) with counterparties believed to be financially responsible at the time;

to which it is party or subject, and neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has

Company Subsidiary is not in compliance in all material respects with any such Regulatory

Article III

Covenants 

3.1 Commercially Reasonable Efforts. 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the parties will use 

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 

increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock to at least such number as shall be 

sufficient to permit the full exercise of the Warrant for Common Stock and comply with the 
-14- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

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 sixmonth period beginning on January 1, 2009 until all such approvals are obtained or made. 

(c) None of the information supplied by the Company or any of the Company 

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

-15- 

095331-0002-10033-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 
-16- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

expected to cause a violation of any agreement to which the Company or any Company 

Subsidiary is a party or would cause a risk of a loss of privilege to the Company or any Company 

Subsidiary (provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make 

appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances where the restrictions in this 

clause (ii) apply). 

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

efforts to cause its agents, consultants, contractors and advisors to hold, in confidence all nonpublic records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information 

(collectively, “Information”) concerning the Company furnished or made available to it by the 

Company or its representatives pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent that such 

information can be shown to have been (i) previously known by such party on a non-confidential 

basis, (ii) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (iii) later lawfully acquired from 

other sources by the party to which it was furnished (and without violation of any other 

confidentiality obligation)); provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Investor from 

disclosing any Information to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any 

subpoena or similar legal process.

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 

Offering” means the sale and issuance for cash by the Company to persons other than the 

Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries after the Closing Date of shares of perpetual 

Preferred Stock, Common Stock or any combination of such stock, that, in each case, qualify as 

and may be included in Tier 1 capital of the Company at the time of issuance under the 

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

(other than any such sales and issuances made pursuant to agreements or arrangements entered 

into, or pursuant to financing plans which were publicly announced, on or prior to October 13,

2008). “Business Combination” means a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or 

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. 
-20- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

(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 

available, the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities, other than a 

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 

Company may terminate or withdraw any registration under this Section 4.5(a)(iv) prior 

to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not Investor or any other Holders 

have elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. 

(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 
-21- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

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 
-22- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

such prospectus supplement current until the securities described therein are no longer 

Registrable Securities. 

(ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the 

applicable registration statement and the prospectus or prospectus supplement used in 

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 

documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of 

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 

underwriter(s), to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such 

registration statement remains in effect, and to take any other action which may be 

reasonably necessary to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such 

jurisdictions of the securities owned by such Holder; provided that the Company shall not 

be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or 

to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions. 

(v) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities at any time when a 

prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the 

happening of any event as a result of which the applicable prospectus, as then in effect, 

includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to 

be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of 

the circumstances then existing. 

(vi) Give written notice to the Holders: 

(A) when any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 4.5(a) or 

any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC (except for any amendment 

effected by the filing of a document with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act) 

and when such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has 

become effective; 

(B) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any 

registration statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional 

information; 
-23- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

(C) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the 

effectiveness of any registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for 

that purpose; 

(D) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any 

notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Common 

Stock for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding 

for such purpose; 

(E) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make 

changes in any effective registration statement or the prospectus related to the 

registration statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading 

(which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the 

prospectus until the requisite changes have been made); and 

(F) if at any time the representations and warranties of the Company 

contained in any underwriting agreement contemplated by Section 4.5(c)(x) cease 

to be true and correct. 

(vii) Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the 

withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement 

referred to in Section 4.5(c)(vi)(C) at the earliest practicable time. 

(viii) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4.5(c)(v) or 

4.5(c)(vi)(E), promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such registration statement 

or a supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as 

thereafter delivered to the Holders and any underwriters, the prospectus will not contain 

an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make 

the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not 

misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with Section 4.5(c)(vi)(E) 

to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have 

been made, then the Holders and any underwriters shall suspend use of such prospectus 

and use their reasonable best efforts to return to the Company all copies of such 

prospectus (at the Company’s expense) other than permanent file copies then in such 

Holders’ or underwriters’ possession. The total number of days that any such suspension 

may be in effect in any 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days. 

(ix) Use reasonable best efforts to procure the cooperation of the Company’s 

transfer agent in settling any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including with 

respect to the transfer of physical stock certificates into book-entry form in accordance 

with any procedures reasonably requested by the Holders or any managing 

underwriter(s). 

(x) If an underwritten offering is requested pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii), enter 

into an underwriting agreement in customary form, scope and substance and take all such 
-24- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

other actions reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable 

Securities being sold in connection therewith or by the managing underwriter(s), if any, 

to expedite or facilitate the underwritten disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in 

connection therewith in any underwritten offering (including making members of 

management and executives of the Company available to participate in “road shows”, 

similar sales events and other marketing activities), (A) make such representations and 

warranties to the Holders that are selling stockholders and the managing underwriter(s), if 

any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Shelf 

Registration Statement, prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be 

incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in customary form, substance and scope, 

and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested, (B) use its reasonable best efforts to 

furnish the underwriters with opinions of counsel to the Company, addressed to the 

managing underwriter(s), if any, covering the matters customarily covered in such 

opinions requested in underwritten offerings, (C) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain 

“cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Company 

(and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any business 

acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are included 

in the Shelf Registration Statement) who have certified the financial statements included 

in such Shelf Registration Statement, addressed to each of the managing underwriter(s), if 

any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily 

covered in “cold comfort” letters, (D) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the 

same shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures customary in underwritten 

offerings (provided that the Investor shall not be obligated to provide any indemnity), and 

(E) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the 

Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith, 

their counsel and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to evidence the continued validity 

of the representations and warranties made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence 

compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or 

other agreement entered into by the Company. 

(xi) Make available for inspection by a representative of Holders that are 

selling stockholders, the managing underwriter(s), if any, and any attorneys or 

accountants retained by such Holders or managing underwriter(s), at the offices where 

normally kept, during reasonable business hours, financial and other records, pertinent 

corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the officers, directors and 

employees of the Company to supply all information in each case reasonably requested 

(and of the type customarily provided in connection with due diligence conducted in 

connection with a registered public offering of securities) by any such representative, 

managing underwriter(s), attorney or accountant in connection with such Shelf 

Registration Statement. 

(xii) Use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be 

listed on each national securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the 

Company are then listed or, if no similar securities issued by the Company are then listed 

on any national securities exchange, use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such 
-25- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

Registrable Securities to be listed on such securities exchange as the Investor may 

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. 

(e) Termination of Registration Rights. A Holder’s registration rights as to any 

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

not be available unless such securities are Registrable Securities. 

(f) Furnishing Information. 

(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 
-26- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

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 “Indemnitee”), 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 

contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, 

claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate 

to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Company, on the 

other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, 

claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant 
-27- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

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, 
-28- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

customers, lenders or vendors of the Company or Company Subsidiaries or in connection with 

dividend reinvestment plans. 

(j) Rule 144; Rule 144A. With a view to making available to the Investor and 

Holders the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the 

Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its 

reasonable best efforts to: 

(i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood 

and defined in Rule 144(c)(1) or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the 

Securities Act, at all times after the Signing Date; 

(ii) (A) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents 

required of the Company under the Exchange Act, and (B) if at any time the Company is 

not required to file such reports, make available, upon the request of any Holder, such 

information necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A (including the information 

required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act); 

(iii) so long as the Investor or a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, 

furnish to the Investor or such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the 

Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the 

Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act; a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly 

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. 

(k) As used in this Section 4.5, the following terms shall have the following 

respective meanings:

its rights set forth in this Section 4.5 from that date forward; provided, that a Holder forfeiting 

such rights shall nonetheless be entitled to participate under Section 4.5(a)(iv) – (vi) in any 

Pending Underwritten Offering to the same extent that such Holder would have been entitled to

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

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. 

(o) 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.

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

4.7 Depositary Shares. Upon request by the Investor at any time following the 

Closing Date, the Company shall promptly enter into a depositary arrangement, pursuant to 

customary agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Investor and with a depositary reasonably 

acceptable to the Investor, pursuant to which the Preferred Shares may be deposited and 

depositary shares, each representing a fraction of a Preferred Share as specified by the Investor, 

may be issued. From and after the execution of any such depositary arrangement, and the deposit 

of any Preferred Shares pursuant thereto, the depositary shares issued pursuant thereto shall be 

deemed “Preferred Shares” and, as applicable, “Registrable Securities” for purposes of this 

Agreement. 

4.8 Restriction on Dividends and Repurchases. 

(a) Prior to the earlier of (x) the third anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) the date 

on which the Preferred Shares have been redeemed in whole or the Investor has transferred all of 

the Preferred Shares to third parties which are not Affiliates of the Investor, neither the Company 

nor any Company Subsidiary shall, without the consent of the Investor:

Stock (other than (A) regular quarterly cash dividends of not more than the amount of the 

last quarterly cash dividend per share declared or, if lower, publicly announced an

stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar transaction, (B) 

dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock and (C) dividends or distributions 

of rights or Junior Stock in connection with a stockholders’ rights plan); or

stock or other equity securities of any kind of the Company, or any trust preferred 

securities issued by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, other than (A) 

redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of the Preferred Shares, (B) redemptions, 

purchases or other acquisitions of shares of Common Stock or other Junior Stock, in each 

case in this clause (B) in connection with the administration of any employee benefit plan 

in the ordinary course of business (including purchases to offset the Share Dilution 

Amount (as defined below) pursuant to a publicly announced repurchase plan) and 

consistent with past practice; provided that any purchases to offset the Share Dilution 

Amount shall in no event exceed the Share Dilution Amount, (C) purchases or other 

acquisitions by a broker-dealer subsidiary of the Company solely for the purpose of 

market-making, stabilization or customer facilitation transactions in Junior Stock or 

Parity Stock in the ordinary course of its business, (D) purchases by a broker-dealer 

subsidiary of the Company of capital stock of the Company for resale pursuant to an 

offering by the Company of such capital stock underwritten by such broker-dealer

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. 

“Parity Stock” means any class or series of stock of the Company the terms of which do not 

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. 
-33- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

(c) As used in this Section 4.9, the following terms shall have the following 

respective meanings: 

(i) “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 30th 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 
-34- 

095331-0002-10033-NY02.2689565.12 

maintain its status as a Bank Holding Company or Savings and Loan Holding Company, as the 

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 

applicable. “Bank Holding Company” means a company registered as such with the Board of 

Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) pursuant to 12 U.S.C. §1842 

and the regulations of the Federal Reserve promulgated thereunder. “Savings and Loan Holding 

Company” means a company registered as such with the Office of Thrift Supervision pursuant to 

12 U.S.C. §1467(a) and the regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision promulgated 

thereunder. 

4.12 Predominantly Financial. For as long as the Investor owns any Purchased 

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 

company and all subsidiaries of the company (excluding revenues derived from subsidiary 

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 

Holding Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1843(k)) represent at least 85 percent of the 

consolidated annual gross revenues of the company.

date; or 

(b) by either the Investor or the Company in the event that any Governmental Entity

failure or delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate 

as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further 

exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies herein provided shall be

writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the waiving party that makes express reference to 

the provision or provisions subject to such waiver.
