Section 111 of EESA, as implemented by the Compensation Regulations, and neither the 

Company nor any of its Affiliates shall adopt any new Benefit Plan (x) that does not 

comply therewith or (y) that does not expressly state and require that such Benefit Plan 

and any compensation thereunder shall be subject to any relevant Compensation 

Regulations adopted, issued or released on or after the date any such Benefit Plan is 

adopted. To the extent that EESA and/or the Compensation Regulations are amended or 

otherwise change during the Relevant Period in a manner that requires changes to thenexisting Benefit Plans, or that requires other actions, the Company and its Affiliates shall 

effect such changes to its or their Benefit Plans, and take such other actions, as promptly 

as practicable after it has actual knowledge of such amendments or changes in order to be

reasonable period to effect such changes). In addition, the Company and its Affiliates 

shall take all necessary action, other than to the extent prohibited by applicable law or 

regulation applicable outside of the United States, to ensure that the consummation of the 

transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not accelerate the vesting, payment or 

distribution of any equity-based awards, deferred cash awards or any nonqualified 

deferred compensation payable by the Company or any of its Affiliates. 

(ii) Additional Waivers. After the Closing Date, in connection with the hiring 

or promotion of a Section 4.1(e) Employee and/or the promulgation of applicable 

Compensation Regulations or otherwise, to the extent any Section 4.1(e) Employee shall 

not have executed a waiver in a form satisfactory to the Investor with respect to the 

application to such Section 4.1(e) Employee of the Compensation Regulations, the 

Company shall use its best efforts to (x) obtain from such Section 4.1(e) Employee a 

waiver in substantially the form attached hereto as Annex C and (y) deliver such waiver 

to the Investor as promptly as possible, in each case, within sixty days of such Section 

4.1(e) Employee becoming subject to the requirements of this Section. “Section 4.1(e) 

Employee” means (A) each Senior Executive Officer and (B) any other employee of the 

Company or any of its Affiliates determined at any time to be subject to Section 111 of 

EESA as implemented by the Compensation Regulations.

payment in contravention of the provisions of this Section 4.1(e), the Company shall 

promptly provide such individual with written notice that the amount of such payment 

must be repaid to the Company in full within fifteen business days following receipt of 

such notice or such earlier time as may be required by the Compensation Regulations and 

shall promptly inform the Investor (i) upon discovering that a payment in contravention 

of this Section 4.1(e) has been made and (ii) following the repayment to the Company of 

such amount and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to comply with the 

Compensation Regulations. 

(iv) Limitation on Deductions. During the Relevant Period, the Company 

agrees that it shall not claim a deduction for remuneration for federal income tax 

purposes in excess of $500,000 for each Senior Executive Officer that would not be 

deductible if Section 162(m)(5) of the Code applied to the Company.

(v) Amendment to Prior Agreement. The parties agree that, effective as of the 

date hereof, Section 5.16 of the CPP Securities Purchase Agreement shall be amended in 

its entirety by replacing such Section 5.16 with the provisions set forth in this 

Section 4.1(e) and any terms included in this Section 4.1(e) that are not otherwise defined 

in the CPP Securities Purchase Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to such 

terms in this Agreement. 

(f) Bank or Savings and Loan 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 maintain its status as either a Bank Holding Company or Savings and Loan 

Holding Company, as the case may be, for as long as the Investor owns any CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities. The Company shall redeem all CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities 

held by the Investor prior to terminating its status as a Bank Holding Company or Savings and 

Loan Holding Company, as applicable.

(g) Predominantly Financial. For as long as the Investor owns any CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities, 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

that (A) from and after the date the Company or any Company Subsidiary that services 

residential mortgage loans has 100 or more residential mortgage loans not owned or guaranteed

such Company Subsidiary shall, to the extent such programs are open for participation, (1) 

participate in the United States Department of the Treasury’s Making Home Affordable 

(“MHA”) program, including MHA’s Second Lien Modification Program and (2) immediately 

execute a Commitment to Purchase Financial Instrument and Servicer Participation Agreement 

(in such form as may be set forth on the MHA website at www.hmpadmin.com from time to 

time) with Fannie Mae (acting as the United States Department of the Treasury’s fiscal agent) 

and (B) if the Company or any Company Subsidiary owns mortgage loans that are serviced by a 

non-affiliated mortgage servicer, the Company or such Company Subsidiary shall consent to any 

MHA modification request made by such mortgage servicer. 

(j) Compliance with Employ American Workers Act. The Company shall agree to 

comply, and take all necessary action to ensure that any Company Subsidiary complies in all 

respects with the provisions of EESA and any federal law respecting EESA, including the 
 -20- 

Employ American Workers Act (Section 1611 of Division A, Title XVI of the American 

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009), Public Law No. 111-5, effective as of February 17, 

2009, as implemented by any rules, regulation or guidance thereunder, as such may be amended 

or supplemented from time to time, and any applicable guidance of the United States Department 

of the Treasury with respect thereto. 

(k) Reporting Requirements. Prior to the date on which all of the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities have been redeemed in whole, the Company covenants and agrees that,

requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it shall comply with the terms and 

conditions set forth in Annex E or (ii) as soon as practicable after the date that the Company 

becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it 

shall comply with the terms and conditions set forth in Annex E. 

(l) Control by Foreign Bank or Company. Prior to the date on which all of the 

CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities have been redeemed in whole, the Company shall not be 

controlled (within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 

1841(a)(2)) and 12 C.F.R. 225(a)(i) in the case of Bank Holding Companies and banks and the 

Home Owners’ Loan Act of 1933 (12 U.S.C. 1467a (a)(2)) and 12 C.F.R. 583.7 in the case of 

Savings and Loan Holding Companies and savings associations) by a foreign bank or company. 

(m) Listing on Exchange. If the Company lists its Common Stock on any national 

securities exchange, the Company shall, if requested by the Investor, promptly use its reasonable 

best efforts to cause the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities to be approved for listing on a 

national securities exchange as promptly as practicable following such request. 

Section 4.2 Negative Covenants. The Company hereby covenants and agrees with 

the Investor that: 

(a) Certain Transactions. 

(i) The Company shall 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. 

(ii) Without the prior written consent of the Investor, until such time as the 

Investor shall cease to own any debt or equity securities of the Company acquired 

pursuant to this Agreement or the CPP Securities Purchase Agreement (including, for the 

avoidance of doubt, the CPP Senior Subordinated Securities or the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities), the Company shall not permit any of its “significant 

subsidiaries” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange 

Act) to (i) engage in any merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar 

transaction following the consummation of which such significant subsidiary is not 

wholly-owned by the Company, (ii) dissolve or sell all or substantially all of its assets or 
 -21- 

property other than in connection with an internal reorganization or consolidation 

involving wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company or (iii) issue or sell any shares of 

its capital stock or any securities convertible or exercisable for any such shares, other 

than issuances or sales in connection with an internal reorganization or consolidation 

involving wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. 

(b) Restriction on Dividends and Repurchases. 

(i) Prior to the date on which all of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities 

have been redeemed in whole, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall, 

(x) redeem, purchase, repay or acquire any trust preferred securities or other capital 

instruments of any kind of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, other than 

redemptions, purchases, repayments or other acquisitions of trust preferred securities or 

other capital instruments of any kind of the Company or any Company Subsidiary 

required pursuant to binding contractual agreements entered into prior to October 21, 

2009, unless all accrued and unpaid Interest for all past interest periods on the CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities is paid in full and (y) permit any increase to regularly paid 

common dividends on Common Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an increase in 

dividends shall be permitted where such increase is solely proportionate to the increase in 

taxable income of the Company and such increased dividends are distributed to 

shareholders in order to fund their individual tax payments on such allocable taxable 

income (a “Tax Distribution”). The Investor and any subsequent investors who purchase 

the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities shall have the right to challenge the amount of 

the proposed Tax Distributions to the extent it believes they exceed the amount necessary 

for the Company’s shareholders to pay their allocable share of income taxes. 

(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.2(b), from and after 

the eighth (8th) anniversary of the Closing Date and for so long as any of the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities are outstanding, neither the Company nor any Company 

Subsidiary shall, without the consent of the Investor, pay any dividends or repurchase any 

equity securities or trust preferred securities. 

(c) Related Party Transactions. Until such time as the Investor ceases to own any 

debt or equity securities of the Company, including the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, 

the Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall not enter into transactions with Affiliates or 

related persons (within the meaning of Item 404 under the SEC’s Regulation S-K) unless 

(A) such transactions are on terms no less favorable to the Company and the Company 

Subsidiaries than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party, and (B) have been approved 

by the audit committee of the Board of Directors or comparable body of independent directors of 

the Company, or if there are no independent directors, the Board of Directors, provided that the 

Board of Directors shall maintain written documentation which supports its determination that 

the transaction meets the requirements of clause (A) of this Section 4.2(c) 

(d) Restriction on Repurchase of CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities Note Held by 

Investor. Prior to the date on which the Investor no longer owns any of the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities the Company shall not repurchase, redeem, call or otherwise reacquire 

any CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities from any holder thereof, whether by means of open 
 -22- 

market purchase, negotiated transaction, or otherwise, unless it offers to repurchase, redeem, call 

or otherwise reacquire a ratable portion of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, as the case 

may be, then held by the Investor on the same terms and conditions.

Senior Subordinated Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, or under any 

state securities laws. The Investor acknowledges that the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities 

are not being sold pursuant to an indenture (an “Indenture”) qualified under the Trust Indenture 

Act of 1939, as amended (the “Indenture Act”). The Investor (a) is acquiring the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act and 

an exemption from qualification of an indenture under the Indenture Act, and is acquiring the 

CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities 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 CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, 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 Exchange and of making an informed investment decision. 

Section 5.2 Form of CDCI Senior Subordinated Security. The CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Security shall be substantially in the form of Annex D hereto, the terms of which 

are incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement. The CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Securities shall be issued, and may be transferred, only in denominations having an aggregate 

principal amount of not less than $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The 

CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities shall be in registered form without coupons and shall be

as the officers executing the same may determine as evidenced by the execution thereof. 

Section 5.3 CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities. The CDCI Senior

 -23- 

Section 5.4 Computation of Interest. (a) The amount of interest payable for 

any Interest Period (as defined below) will be computed as provided in the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities. 

(b) Each CDCI Senior Subordinated Security will bear interest at the Interest 

Rate (i) in the case of the initial Interest Period, for the period from, and including, the date of 

original issuance of such CDCI Senior Subordinated Security to, but excluding, the initial 

Interest Payment Date and (ii) thereafter, for the period from, and including, the first day 

following the end of the preceding Interest Period to, but excluding, the applicable Interest 

Payment Date or, in the case of the last Interest Period, the Maturity Date (each such period, an 

“Interest Period”), on the principal thereof, on any overdue principal and (to the extent that 

payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of 

interest (including Deferred Interest and Defaulted Interest), payable on each Interest Payment 

Date or the Maturity Date, as the case may be. Interest on any CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for by the Company, on any 

Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name such CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such 

interest installment. 

(c) [Insert if the Company is a Bank Holding Company or a Savings and 

Loan Holding Company: So long as no other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 

the Company shall have the right, from time to time and without causing an Event of Default, to 

defer payments of interest on the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities by extending the Interest 

Period on the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities at any time and from time to time during the 

term of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, for up to 20 consecutive quarterly periods 

(each such extended Interest Period, together with all previous and further consecutive 

extensions thereof, is referred to herein as an “Interest Deferral Period”). No Interest Deferral 

Period may end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date or extend beyond the Maturity 

Date, as the case may be. During any Interest Deferral Period, interest will continue to accrue on 

the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, and interest on such accrued interest (such accrued 

interest and interest thereon referred to herein as “Deferred Interest”) will accrue at an annual 

rate equal to the Interest Rate applicable during such Interest Deferral Period, compounded on 

each Interest Payment Date during such Interest Deferral Period, to the extent permitted by 

applicable law. No interest or Deferred Interest shall be due and payable during a Interest 

Deferral Period, except at the end thereof. At the end of any Interest Deferral Period, the 

Company shall pay all Deferred Interest then accrued and unpaid on the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities; provided, however, that during any Interest Deferral Period, the 

Company shall be subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.2(b). Prior to the termination 

of any Interest Deferral Period, the Company may further extend such Interest Deferral Period, 

provided that no Interest Deferral Period (including all previous and further consecutive 

extensions that are part of such Interest Deferral Period) shall exceed 20 consecutive quarterly 

periods. Upon the termination of any Interest Deferral Period and upon the payment of all 

Deferred Interest, the Company may commence a new Interest Deferral Period for up to 20 

consecutive quarterly periods as if no prior Interest Deferral Period had occurred, subject to the 

foregoing requirements. The Company must give the Holders notice of its election to begin or 
 -24- 

extend a Interest Deferral Period at least one business day prior to the Regular Record Date 

applicable to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.]

(d) Any interest on the CDCI Senior Subordinated Security [Insert if the 

Company is a Bank Holding Company or a Savings and Loan Holding Company: (other than 

Deferred Interest pursuant to Section 5.4(c))] that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly 

provided for by the Company, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) 

shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date, and such 

Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company to the persons in whose names such CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities are registered at the close of business on a special record date for 

the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner: the 

Company shall notify the Holder in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be 

paid on each such CDCI Senior Subordinated Security and the date of the proposed payment. 

Thereupon the Board of Directors shall fix a special record date for the payment of such 

Defaulted Interest, which shall not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the 

proposed payment. The Company shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted 

Interest and the special record date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each 

Holder of a CDCI Senior Subordinated Security at his, her or its address as it appears in the 

CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities Register, not less than 10 days prior to such special record 

date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record date 

therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the to the 

persons in whose names such CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities are registered on such 

special record date and thereafter the Company shall have no further payment obligation in 

respect of the Defaulted Interest. 

(e) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements 

of any securities exchange on which such CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities may be listed, 

and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange. 

(f) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.4, each CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Security delivered under this Agreement upon registration of transfer of or in 

exchange for or in lieu of any other CDCI Senior Subordinated Security shall carry the rights to 

interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Security. 

Section 5.5 Legends. (a) The Investor agrees that all certificates or other instruments 

representing the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities will bear a 

legend substantially to the following effect: 

“THIS SENIOR SUBORDINATED SECURITY WILL BE 

ISSUED AND MAY BE TRANSFERRED ONLY IN MINIMUM 

DENOMINATIONS OF $1,000 AND MULTIPLES OF $1,000 IN 

EXCESS THEREOF. ANY ATTEMPTED TRANSFER OF

$1,000 AND MULTIPLES OF $1,000 IN EXCESS THEREOF 

SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE VOID AND OF NO LEGAL 
 -25-

INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE RECEIPT OF 

PAYMENTS ON SUCH SECURITIES, AND SUCH 

PURPORTED TRANSFEREE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE

AGREEMENT WILL BE VOID.” 

(b) In the event that any CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities (A) (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), and (B) (i) become subject to an Indenture qualified under the Indenture Act or 

(ii) are exempt from qualification under the Indenture Act, the Company shall issue new 

certificates or other instruments representing such CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, which 

shall not contain the applicable legends in Section 5.5(a) above; provided that the Investor 

surrenders to the Company the previously issued certificates or other instruments. 

Section 5.6 Transfer of CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities. (a) The Company 

or its duly appointed agent shall maintain a register (the “CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities 

Register”) for the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities in which it shall register the issuance and 

transfer of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities. All transfers of the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities shall be recorded on the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities Register 

maintained by the Company or its agent, and the Company shall be entitled to regard the 

registered Holder of such CDCI Senior Subordinated Security as the actual owner of the CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Security so registered until the Company or its agent is required to record a 

transfer of such CDCI Senior Subordinated Security on its CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities 

Register. The Company or its agent shall, subject to applicable securities laws, be required to 
 -27- 

record any such transfer when it receives the CDCI Senior Subordinated Security to be 

transferred duly and properly endorsed by the registered Holder or by its attorney duly 

authorized in writing. 

(b) The Company shall at any time, upon written request of the Holder of a CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Security and surrender of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Security for such 

purpose, at the expense of the Company, issue new CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities in 

exchange therefor in such denominations of at least $1,000, as shall be specified by the Holder of 

such CDCI Senior Subordinated Security, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the then 

unpaid principal amount of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities surrendered and 

substantially in the form of Annex D, with appropriate insertions and variations, and bearing 

interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the CDCI Senior Subordinated Security 

surrendered. All CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities issued upon any registration of transfer of 

exchange pursuant to this Section 5.6(b) shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing 

the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement, as the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

(c) All CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities presented for registration of transfer or 

for exchange or payment shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by, a written instrument 

or instruments of transfer in a form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by the Holder or 

such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. 

(d) No service charge shall be incurred for any exchange or registration of transfer of 

CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient 

to cover any Tax, fee or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection 

therewith. 

(e) Prior to due presentment for the registration of a transfer of any CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Security, the Company and any agent of the Company may deem and treat the 

person in whose name such CDCI Senior Subordinated Security is registered as the absolute 

owner and Holder of such CDCI Senior Subordinated Security for the purpose of receiving 

payment of principal of and interest on such CDCI Senior Subordinated Security and none of the 

Company or any agents of the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

(f) Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Holder shall be 

permitted to transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) all or a portion of the 

CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities at any time, and the Company shall take all steps as may 

be reasonably requested by the Investor to facilitate the Transfer of the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities; provided that the Investor and its transferees shall use their 

commercially reasonable efforts not to effect any Transfer of any CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Securities if such transfer would require the Company to be subject to the periodic reporting 

requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange 

Act”) and the Company was not already subject to such requirements. In furtherance of the 

foregoing, the Company shall provide reasonable cooperation to facilitate any Transfers of the 

CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, including, as is reasonable under the circumstances, by 

furnishing such information concerning the Company and its business as a proposed transferee 

may reasonably request (including such information as is required by Section 4.1(c)(iv)) and

evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of 

any CDCI Senior Subordinated Security, and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, 

upon delivery of a bond of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Company (provided that the 

Investor or any institutional Holder of a CDCI Senior Subordinated Security may instead deliver 

to the Company an indemnity agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the 

Company), or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Security, as the case may be, the Company will issue a new CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Security of like tenor, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Security. 

Section 5.8 Cancellation. All CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities surrendered for 

the purpose of payment, exchange or registration of transfer, shall be surrendered to the 

Company and promptly canceled by it, and no CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities shall be 

issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Agreement. 

The Company shall destroy all canceled CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities. 

Section 5.9 Rule 144; Rule 144A; 4(11⁄2) Transactions. (a) At all times after the 

Signing Date, the Company covenants that (1) it will, upon the request of the Investor or any 

subsequent holders of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities (“Holders”), use its reasonable 

best efforts to (x), to the extent any Holder is relying on Rule 144 under the Securities Act to sell 

any of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, make “current public information” available, as 

provided in Section (c)(1) of Rule 144 (if the Company is a “Reporting Issuer” within the 

meaning of Rule 144) or in Section (c)(2) of Rule 144 (if the Company is a “Non-Reporting 

Issuer” within the meaning of Rule 144), in either case for such time period as necessary to 

permit sales pursuant to Rule 144, (y), to the extent any Holder is relying on the so-called 

“Section 4(11⁄2)” exemption to sell any of its CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, prepare and 

provide to such Holder such information, including the preparation of private offering 

memoranda or circulars or financial information, as the Holder may reasonably request to enable 

the sale of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities pursuant to such exemption, or (z) to the 

extent any Holder is relying on Rule 144A under the Securities Act to sell any of its CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities, prepare and provide to such Holder the information required 

pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4), and (2) it will take such further action as any Holder may 

reasonably request from time to time to enable such Holder to sell CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemptions 

provided by (i) the provisions of the Securities Act or any interpretations thereof or related 

thereto by the SEC, including transactions based on the so-called “Section 4(11⁄2)” and other 

similar transactions, (ii) Rule 144 or 144A under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be 

amended from time to time, or (iii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC; 

provided that the Company shall not be required to take any action described in this Section 

5.9(a) that would cause the Company to become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 

13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company was not subject to such requirements prior to 
 -29- 

taking such action. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder a 

written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics 

thereof. 

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify Investor, Investor’s officers, directors, employees, 

agents, representatives and Affiliates, and each person, if any, that controls Investor 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 document or report provided by the 

Company pursuant to this Section 5.9 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. 

(c) If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.9(b) 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 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 Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution 

pursuant to this Section 5.9(c) 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 5.9(b). 

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. 

Section 5.10 Depository Senior Subordinated Securities. 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 CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities may be deposited. 

Section 5.11 Redemption.

 (a) The CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities at the time outstanding may be redeemed 

by the Company at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking 

Agency, in whole or in part and subject to Section 5.11(e), at any time and from time to time, out 
 -30- 

of funds legally available therefor, upon notice given as provided in Section 5.11(d) below, on 

any Interest Payment Date (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to the sum of 

(i) 100% of the principal amount thereof being called for redemption (provided that, if less than 

all of the outstanding CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities are then being redeemed, such 

amount shall not be less than 25% of the aggregate face value of the CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Securities as of the Closing Date) and (ii) any accrued and unpaid interest (including Deferred 

Interest). 

(b) The redemption price for any CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities shall be 

payable on the Redemption Date to the Holder of such CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities 

against surrender thereof to the Company or its agent. Interest shall be paid at the then 

applicable Interest Rate from the date of the last Interest Payment Date up to but not including 

the Redemption Date. 

(c) No Sinking Fund. The CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities will not be subject 

to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities will have no right to require redemption or repurchase of any of the 

CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities. 

(d) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption of the CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Securities shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holders of record 

of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities to be redeemed at their respective last addresses 

appearing on the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities Register. Such mailing shall be at least 

30 days and not more than 60 days before the Redemption Date. 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 CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities 

designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of 

any other CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company 

or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may be given to the Holders of CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities 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 amount of CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities to be redeemed by such Holder; (3) the redemption price; and 

(4) the place or places where such CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities are to be surrendered for 

payment of the redemption price. 

(e) Partial Redemption. The Company may redeem less than all of the outstanding 

CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, provided that the amount called for redemption at any 

time is not less than 25% of the amount of the outstanding principal amount of the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities. 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 CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities shall be redeemed from time to 

time. If less than the full aggregate principal amount of any CDCI Senior Subordinated Security 

is redeemed, the Company shall issue a new CDCI Senior Subordinated Security in the 

unredeemed aggregate principal amount thereof without charge to the Holder thereof. CDCI 
 -31- 

Senior Subordinated Securities may be redeemed in part only on a pro rata basis and only in 

minimum denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. 

(f) 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 Company, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of the CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities 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 CDCI Senior Subordinated Security so 

called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the Redemption 

Date interest shall cease to accrue on the aggregate principal amount of such CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities so called for redemption, the aggregate principal amount of such CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding 

and shall cease to bear interest from and after the Redemption Date. All rights with respect to 

such CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities (or the portion thereof so called for redemption) shall 

forthwith on such Redemption Date cease and terminate, except only the right of the Holders 

thereof to receive the redemption price 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 applicable law, be released to the Company, after which 

time the Holders of such CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities (or portion thereof so called for 

redemption) shall look only to the Company for payment of the redemption price of such CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities. 

(g) Status of Redeemed Securities. CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities that are 

redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Company shall be cancelled and shall not 

thereafter be reissued by the Company. 

Section 5.12 Voting Rights. 

(a) General. The Holders of CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities shall not have any 

voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law. 

(b) CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities Directors. Subject to the provisions of 

Section 3.23, whenever, at any time or times, interest payable on the CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Securities has not been paid in full for an aggregate of eight (8) quarterly Interest Periods or 

more, whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors of the Company shall 

automatically be increased by two and the Holders of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities 

shall have the right, voting as a class, to elect or appoint two directors to fill such newly created 

directorships or, if applicable law does not permit the Holders to elect or appoint such directors, 

to designate or nominate two individuals for election or appointment to fill such directorships 

(such directors, hereinafter, the “CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities Directors” and each, a 

“CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities Director”) at the Company’s next annual meeting of 

shareholders (or at a special meeting called for that purpose prior to such next annual meeting) 

and at each subsequent annual meeting of shareholders until all accrued and unpaid interest for 

four (4) consecutive Interest Periods, including the latest completed Interest Period, on all 
 -32- 

outstanding CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities has been paid in full at which time such right 

shall terminate with respect to the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, 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 CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities Director that the election of such CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Securities Director shall not cause the Company to violate any corporate governance 

requirements of any securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities of the 

Company 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 CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities as a class to vote for directors as provided above, the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities Directors shall cease to be qualified as directors, the term of office of all 

CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities Directors then in office shall terminate immediately and 

the authorized number of directors shall be reduced by the number of CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Securities Directors elected pursuant hereto. Any CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities Director 

may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and any vacancy created thereby may be 

filled, only by the affirmative vote of the Holders holding more than fifty percent (50%) of the 

aggregate outstanding principal amount of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities (the 

“Majority Holders”) at the time voting separately as a class, to the extent the voting rights of 

such Holders described above are then exercisable. If the office of any CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities Director becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office 

as aforesaid, the remaining CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities Director may choose a 

successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy 

occurred. 

(c) Class Voting Rights as to Particular Matters. So long as any CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of shareholders 

required by law or by the Charter, the vote or consent of the Holders of at least 66 2/3% of the 

CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities 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 in accordance shall be necessary for effecting or validating: 

(i) Amendment of CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities. Any amendment, 

alteration or repeal of any provision of this Agreement or of the form of the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities or the Charter (including, unless no vote on such merger or 

consolidation is required by Section 5.12(c)(ii) below, any amendment, alteration or 

repeal by means of a merger, consolidation or otherwise) so as to adversely affect the 

rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Securities; 

(ii) Exchanges, Reclassifications, Mergers and Consolidations. Any 

consummation of a binding exchange or reclassification involving the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities, or of a merger or consolidation of the Company with another 

corporation or other entity, unless in each case (x) the CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Securities remain outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with 

respect to which the Company is not the surviving or resulting entity, are converted into 

or exchanged for securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and 
 -33- 

(y) such remaining CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities outstanding or such securities, 

as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and 

limitations and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable 

to the Holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and 

limitations and restrictions thereof, of CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities immediately 

prior to such consummation, taken as a whole; or 

(iii) Creation of Senior Capital Instruments. Any issuance of any equity 

securities or other capital instruments authorized by state law of the Company, or any 

securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any equity securities or 

capital instruments, ranking senior to the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities with 

respect to the payment of interest (whether or not such interest compounds) or principal 

and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. 

provided, however, that for all purposes of this Section 5.12(c), any increase in the amount of the 

CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, or the creation and issuance of any other Indebtedness of 

the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities, ranking senior to, equally with and/or subordinate to the CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities with respect to the payment of interest (whether or not such 

interest compounds) and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of 

the Company will not be deemed to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting 

powers, and shall not require the affirmative vote or consent of, the Holders of outstanding CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities. 

(d) Changes after Provision for Redemption. No vote or consent of the Holders of 

CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities shall be required pursuant to Section 5.12(c) above if, at or 

prior to the time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such 

Section, all outstanding CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities shall have been redeemed, or shall 

have been called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been 

deposited in trust for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 5.11 above. 

(e) Procedures for Voting and Consents. The rules and procedures for calling and 

conducting any meeting of the Holders of CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities (including, 

without limitation, the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of 

proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other aspect or matter with 

regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules of the Board of 

Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may 

adopt from time to time, which rules and/or procedures shall conform to the requirements of the 

Charter, the bylaws, and applicable law and the rules of any national securities exchange or other 

trading facility on which the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities are listed or traded at the 

time. 

Section 5.13 Expenses and Further Assurances. (a) Unless otherwise provided in 

this Agreement, 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, 

including fees and expenses of its own financial or other consultants, investment bankers, 

accountants and counsel. 
 -34- 

(b) The Company shall, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, (i) furnish to the 

Investor all instruments, documents and other agreements required to be furnished by the 

Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any documents 

required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.9 above, or which are reasonably requested by the 

Investor in connection therewith; (ii) execute and deliver to the Investor such documents, 

instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts necessary or 

desirable, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities 

purchased by the Investor, as Investor may reasonably require; and (iii) do and execute all and 

such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more 

effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement, as the Investor shall 

reasonably require from time to time. 

Section 5.14 Communications to Holders. Any Holder shall have the right, upon 

five (5) business days prior written notice to the Company or its duly appointed agent to obtain a 

complete list of Holders. In addition, any Holder shall have the right to request that 

the Company or its duly appointed agent send a notice on behalf of such Holder to all 

other Holders at the addresses set forth on the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities Register or, 

to the extent the Company has entered into a depositary arrangement, by means of any 

procedures applicable to such depositary arrangement.

Section 6.2 Default on Senior Indebtedness. (a) In the event and during the 

continuation of any default by the Company in the payment of principal, premium, interest or 

any other payment due on any Senior Indebtedness, no payment shall be made by the Company

acceleration). 

(c) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment is received

their respective interests may appear, but only to the extent of the amounts in respect of such

Company, whether voluntary or involuntary or in insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, 

the holders of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company will first be entitled to receive payment in 

full of amounts due on or in respect of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment is made by 

the Company on account of the principal of or interest on the CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Securities or any other amounts which may be due on the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities 

pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof); and upon any such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation

respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by such holders, as calculated by the Company) 

or their representative or representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture 

pursuant to which any instruments evidencing such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, 

as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary to pay all such amounts of Senior 

Indebtedness in full, in money or money’s worth, after giving effect to any concurrent payment 

or distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any payment or 

distribution is made to the Holder of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities. 

(b) In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or 

distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character prohibited by Section 6.3(a),

due on or in respect of such Senior Indebtedness in full in money in accordance with its terms, 

after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the holders of

shall not be deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or 

securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or 

readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent provided in this 

Article VII with respect to the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities to the payment of Senior 

Indebtedness that may at the time be outstanding, provided that (i) such Senior Indebtedness is

Company following the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of its property as an entirety, or 

substantially as an entirety, to another person upon the terms and conditions provided for in 

Section 4.2(a) of this Agreement shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or 

reorganization for the purposes of this Section 6.3 if such other person shall, as a part of such 

consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions stated in 

Section 4.2(a) of this Agreement. 
 -37- 

Section 6.4 Subrogation. (a) Subject to the payment in full of all of Senior 

Indebtedness, the rights of the Holders of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities shall be 

subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or 

distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, applicable to 

such Senior Indebtedness until the principal of and interest on the CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Securities shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of such subrogation, no payments or 

distributions to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to 

which the Holders of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities would be entitled except for the 

provisions of this Article VI, and no payment pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI to or 

for the benefit of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by the Holders of the CDCI Senior 

Subordinated Securities shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior 

Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, be 

deemed to be a payment by the Company to or on account of such Senior Indebtedness. It is 

understood that the provisions of this Article VI are intended solely for the purposes of defining 

the relative rights of the Holders of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, on the one hand, 

and the holders of such Senior Indebtedness on the other hand. 

(b) Nothing contained in this Article VI or elsewhere in this Agreement or in 

the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, 

its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders of 

the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and 

unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities the principal of 

and interest on the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities as and when the same shall become due 

and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of 

the Holders of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities and creditors of the Company, as the 

case may be, other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, as the case may be, 

nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Holder of any CDCI Senior Subordinated 

Securities from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under 

this Agreement, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article VI of the holders of such Senior 

Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company, as the case may be, 

received upon the exercise of any such remedy. 

Section 6.5 Notice by the Company. (a) The Company shall give prompt written 

notice to the Holders of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities of any fact known to the 

Company that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies in respect of the CDCI 

Senior Subordinated Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article VI. 

(b) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in 

this Article VI, the Holders of the CDCI Senior Subordinated Securities shall be entitled to

ANNEX C

FORM OF WAIVER 

In consideration for the benefits I will receive as a result of the participation of 

[____________________] (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the “Company”) in the 

United States Department of the Treasury’s (the “Treasury”) Capital Purchase Program, 

Community Development Capital Initiative and/or any other economic stabilization program 

implemented by the Treasury under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (as 

amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified, the “EESA”) (any such program, including the 

Capital Purchase Program and the Community Development Capital Initiative, a “Program”), I 

hereby voluntarily waive any claim against the United States (and each of its departments and 

agencies) or the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees and agents for any changes 

to my compensation or benefits that are required to comply with the executive compensation and 

corporate governance requirements of Section 111 of the EESA, as implemented by any 

guidance or regulations issued and/or to be issued thereunder, including without limitation the 

provisions for the Capital Purchase Program, as implemented by any guidance or regulation 

thereunder, including the rules set forth in 31 C.F.R. Part 30, or any other guidance or 

regulations under the EESA and the applicable requirements of the Exchange Agreement by and 

among the Company and the Treasury dated as of ___________ __, 2010, as amended (such 

requirements, the “Limitations”). 

I acknowledge that the Limitations may require modification or termination of the employment, 

compensation, bonus, incentive, severance, retention and other benefit plans, arrangements, 

policies and agreements (including so-called “golden parachute” agreements), whether or not in 

writing, that I may have with the Company or in which I may participate as they relate to the 

period the United States holds any equity or debt securities of the Company acquired through a 

Program or for any other period applicable under such Program or Limitations, as the case may 

be, and I hereby consent to all such modifications. 

This waiver includes all claims I may have under the laws of the United States or any other 

jurisdiction (whether or not in existence as of the date hereof) related to the requirements 

imposed by the Limitations, including without limitation a claim for any compensation or other 

payments or benefits I would otherwise receive, any challenge to the process by which the 

Limitations are or were adopted and any tort or constitutional claim about the effect of these 

Limitations on my employment relationship and I hereby agree that I will not at any time initiate, 

or cause or permit to be initiated on my behalf, any such claim against the United States, the

I agree that, in the event and to the extent that the Compensation Committee of the Board of 

Directors of the Company or similar governing body (the “Committee”) reasonably determines 

that any compensatory payment and benefit provided to me, including any bonus or incentive 

compensation based on materially inaccurate financial statements or performance criteria, would 

cause the Company to fail to be in compliance with the Limitations (such payment or benefit, an 
Annex C-2 

“Excess Payment”), upon notification from the Company, I shall repay such Excess Payment to 

the Company within 15 business days. In addition, I agree that the Company shall have the right 

to postpone any such payment or benefit for a reasonable period of time to enable the Committee 

to determine whether such payment or benefit would constitute an Excess Payment. 

I understand that any determination by the Committee as to whether or not, including the manner 

in which, a payment or benefit needs to be modified, terminated or repaid in order for the 

Company to be in compliance with Section 111 of the EESA and/or the Limitations shall be a 

final and conclusive determination of the Committee which shall be binding upon me. I further 

understand that the Company is relying on this letter from me in connection with its participation

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), and 

(B) prepare an Indenture covering the Registrable Securities meeting the requirements of the 

Indenture Act. and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Indenture to be qualified under 

the Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if 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. 

(b) Any registration pursuant to Section 1.2(a) of this Annex E 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 1.2(d) of this Annex E; provided

that the Company shall not be required to facilitate an underwritten offering of Registrable 
 E-3 

Securities unless (i) the expected gross proceeds from such offering exceed $200,000 or (ii) such

The lead underwriters in any such distribution shall be selected by the Holders of a majority of

(c) 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 1.2 of this Annex E: (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. 

(d) 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 1.2(a) of this Annex E 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 (A) 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 and (B) if requested by the Investor or a Holder, prepare an 

Indenture meeting the requirements of the Indenture Act and use its reasonable best efforts to 

cause such Indenture to be qualified under the Indenture Act (such registration and qualification, 

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 (5th) business day prior 

to the planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company may terminate or 

withdraw any registration or qualification under this Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E prior to the 

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

have elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration or qualification. 

(e) If the registration referred to in Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E 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 1.2(d) of this Annex E. In such event, the right of 

Investor and all other Holders to registration pursuant to Section 1.2 of this Annex E 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 
 E-4 

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 to the Company, the managing 

underwriters and the Investor (if the Investor is participating in the underwriting). 

(f) 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 1.2(b) of this Annex E or (y) a Piggyback 

Registration under Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E 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 security 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 security 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 1.2(d) of this Annex E, 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 1.2(b) or Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E, as applicable, 

pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of such securities 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. 

1.3 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.

1.4 Obligations of the Company. 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:

Prepare and file with the SEC: (A) a prospectus supplement or post-effective 

amendment with respect to a proposed offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective 

registration statement, subject to Section 1.4 of this Annex E, keep such registration statement 

effective and keep such prospectus supplement current until the securities described therein are 

no longer Registrable Securities; and (B) an Indenture for qualification under the Indenture Act. 
 E-5 

(a) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements: (A) 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; and (B) to the Indenture, with respect to the disposition of all securities 

covered by such registration statement and Indenture. 

(b) 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, the Indenture 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. 

(c) 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. 

(d) 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. 

(e) Give written notice to the Holders: 

(A) when any registration statement or Indenture filed pursuant to 

Section 4.1(k) of the Agreement 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 the Indenture or for 

additional information; 

(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; 
 E-6 

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

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

Registrable Securities 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 or to the Indenture 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 1.4(j) of this 

Annex E cease to be true and correct. 

(f) 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 1.4(f)(C) of this Annex E at the earliest practicable time. 

(g) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 1.4(e) or 

1.4(f)(E) of this Annex E, promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such registration 

statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or the Indenture or file any other required 

document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders and any underwriters, the prospectus or 

the Indenture 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 

1.4(f)(E) of this Annex E to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the 

prospectus or the Indenture 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. 

(h) 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 certificates into book-entry form in accordance with any procedures 

reasonably requested by the Holders or any managing underwriter(s). 

(i) If an underwritten offering is requested pursuant to Section 1.2(b) of this 

Annex E, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, scope and substance and take 

all such 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 securityholders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, with respect to the business of 
 E-7

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 (A) above 

and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting 

agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company. 

(j) Make available for inspection by a representative of selling Holders, 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 governance 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

1.5 Suspension of Sales. Upon receipt of written notice from the Company 

that a registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement, or Indenture 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, or Indenture, 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 

Indenture, 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 or Indenture 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 or 

Indenture 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.

1.6 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.

1.7 Furnishing Information. (a) 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. 

(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any 

action pursuant to Section 1.4 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 disposition of such securities as shall be 

required to effect the registered offering of their Registrable Securities. 

1.8 Indemnification. 

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) or contained in any Indenture, 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 
 E-9 

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) or contained in any Indenture, 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 any 

Indenture 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. 

If the indemnification provided for in Section 1.8(i) of this Annex E 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 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 1.8(ii) of this Annex E 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 1.8(i) of this Annex E. 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. 

1.9 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of the Investor to 

registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1.2 may be assigned by the Investor to 

a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities; 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.

1.10 Clear Market. With respect to any underwritten offering of Registrable 

Securities by the Investor or other Holders pursuant to this Annex E, the Company agrees not to 
 E-10 

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 any subordinated debentures or equity securities of the Company 

or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for subordinated debentures or 

equity securities of the Company, 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. 

1.11 Forfeiture of Rights. At any time, any holder of Registrable Securities 

(including any Holder) may elect to forfeit its rights set forth in this Annex E from that date 

forward; provided, that a Holder forfeiting such rights shall nonetheless be entitled to participate 

under Section 1.2(d) – (f) of this Annex E in any Pending Underwritten Offering to the same 

extent that such Holder would have been entitled to if the holder had not withdrawn; and 

provided, further, that no such forfeiture shall terminate a Holder’s rights or obligations under 

Section 1.7 with respect to any prior registration or Pending Underwritten Offering. 

1.12 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 

Annex E 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 Annex E in accordance with the terms and conditions of 

this Annex E.

1.13 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 Annex E 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 Annex E. 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 Annex E (including agreements that are inconsistent with the 

order of priority contemplated by Section 1.2(f) of this Annex E) 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 Annex E.

1.14 Certain Offerings by the Investor. 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.
