Dear Ladies and Gentlemen: 

The company set forth on the signature page hereto (the “Company”) intends to 

issue in a private placement the subordinated debentures, which such subordinated debentures do 

not constitute a new class of equity, set forth on Schedule A hereto (the “Senior Subordinated 

Securities”) and the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Investor”) intends to 

purchase from the Company the Senior Subordinated Securities. 

The purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the terms and conditions of the 

purchase by the Investor of the Senior Subordinated Securities. Except to the extent 

supplemented or superseded by the terms set forth herein or in the Schedules hereto, the 

provisions contained in the Securities Purchase Agreement – Standard Terms attached hereto as 

Exhibit A (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) are incorporated by reference herein. Terms 

that are defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement are used in this letter agreement as so 

defined. In the event of any inconsistency between this letter agreement and the Securities 

Purchase Agreement, the terms of this letter agreement shall govern. 

Each of the Company and the Investor hereby confirms its agreement with the 

other party with respect to the issuance by the Company of the Senior Subordinated Securities 

and the purchase by the Investor of the Senior Subordinated Securities pursuant to this letter 

agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement on the terms specified on Schedule A hereto. 

This letter agreement (including the Schedules hereto), the Securities Purchase 

Agreement (including the Annexes thereto) and the Disclosure Schedules (as defined in the 

Securities Purchase Agreement) constitute the entire agreement, and supersede all other prior 

agreements, understandings, representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the 

parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This letter agreement constitutes the “Letter 

Agreement” referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement. 

This letter agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, 

each such counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts will 

together constitute the same agreement. Executed signature pages to this letter agreement may 

be delivered by facsimile and such facsimiles will be deemed as sufficient as if actual signature 

pages had been delivered.

WHEREAS, the Purchase will be governed by this Securities Purchase 

Agreement – Standard Terms and the Letter Agreement, including the schedules thereto (the

– Standard Terms (including the Annexes hereto) and the Letter Agreement (including the 

Schedules thereto) are together referred to as this “Agreement”. All references in this Securities 

Purchase Agreement – Standard Terms to “Schedules” are to the Schedules attached to the Letter 

Agreement. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, and of the representations, 

warranties, covenants and agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows: 

ARTICLE I 

Section 1.1 Definitions. Except as otherwise specified herein or as the context may 

otherwise require, the following terms have the respective meanings set forth below for all 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -2- 

purposes of this Agreement. “Affiliate” means, with respect to any person, any person directly or 

indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with, such other person. For 

purposes of this definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlled 

by” and “under common control with”) when used with respect to any person, means the 

possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to cause the direction of management and/or 

policies of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities by contract or 

otherwise. 

“Appropriate Federal Banking Agency” means the “appropriate Federal banking 

agency” with respect to the Company or such Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, as defined in 

Section 3(q) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1813(q)). 

“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. 

“CDFI Events” means the failure by each Certified Entity at any time while the 

Senior Subordinated Securities are outstanding to (i) be certified by the Community 

Development Financial Institution Fund of the United States Department of the Treasury as a 

regulated community development financial institution; (ii) together with all of its Affiliates 

collectively meet the eligibility requirements of 12 C.F.R. 1805.200(b); (iii) have a primary 

mission of promoting community development, as may be determined by the United States 

Department of the Treasury from time to time, based on criteria set forth in 12 C.F.R. 

1805.201(b)(1); (iv) provide Financial Products, Development Services, and/or other similar 

financing as a predominant business activity in arm’s-length transactions; (v) serve a Target 

Market by serving one or more Investment Areas and/or Targeted Populations as may be

conjunction with its Financial Products, directly, through an Affiliate or through a contract with a 

third-party provider; (vii) maintain accountability to residents of the applicable Investment

C.F.R. 1805.201(b)(6) and within the meaning of any supplemental regulations or interpretations 

of 12 C.F.R. 1805.201(b)(6) or such supplemental regulations published by the Fund. For the 

avoidance of doubt, a CDFI Event shall not have occurred so long as at least one Certified Entity 

satisfies the requirements set forth in clauses (i) through (viii) of the preceding sentence, even if 

other Certified Entities fail to satisfy such requirements. Notwithstanding any other provision 

hereof, as used in this definition, the terms “Affiliates”; “Financial Products”; “Development 

Services”; “Target Market”; “Investment Areas”; and “Targeted Populations” have the meanings 

ascribed to such terms in 12 C.F.R. 1805.104. A CDFI Event may be waived in writing by the 

holders of a majority of the Senior Subordinated Securities then outstanding.

organizations); or (ii) the ability of the Company to consummate the Purchase and other 

transactions contemplated by this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder

disclosure that such disclosure is relevant to another section of this Agreement; provided,

remedies available to the Investor.

Economic Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 

2009, or otherwise from time to time (“EESA”), as implemented by any guidance, rule or regulation 

thereunder, as the same shall be in effect from time to time (collectively, the “Compensation 

Regulations”) (and to the extent necessary for such changes to be legally enforceable, each of its Senior 

Executive Officers and other employees shall have duly consented in writing to such changes), as may 

be necessary, during the period in which any obligation of the Company arising from financial 

assistance under the Troubled Asset Relief Program remains outstanding (such period, as it may be

Section 111 of EESA or the Compensation Regulations, and (ii) the Investor shall have received a 

certificate signed on behalf of the Company by a Senior Executive Officer certifying to the effect that

and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Senior Subordinated Securities held by any such 

Holder and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or 

documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of any such Holder 

allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company, Major Depository Institution 

Subsidiary or any other obligor on the Senior Subordinated Securities, or to the creditors or 

property of the Company or such other obligor, unless prohibited by applicable law and 

regulations, to vote in any election of a trustee or a standby trustee in arrangement, 

reorganization, liquidation or other bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or person performing 

similar functions in comparable proceedings, and to collect and receive any moneys or other 

property payable or deliverable to any such Holder on any such claims.

aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Subordinated Securities may on behalf of 

the Holders of all the Senior Subordinated Securities waive any past default hereunder with 

respect such Senior Subordinated Securities and its consequences. Upon any such waiver, such 

default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have 

been cured, for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any 

subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

ARTICLE VI 

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS 

Section 6.1 Purchase for Investment. The Investor acknowledges that the Senior 

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

securities laws. The Investor acknowledges that the 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 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 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 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 

Purchase and of making an informed investment decision. 

Section 6.2 Form of Senior Subordinated Security. The Senior Subordinated Security 

shall be substantially in the form of Annex A hereto, the terms of which are incorporated in and 

made a part of this Agreement. The 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 Senior Subordinated Securities shall be 

in registered form without coupons and shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in 

such manner or in accordance with such plans as the officers executing the same may determine 

as evidenced by the execution thereof. 

Section 6.3 Senior Subordinated Securities. The Senior Subordinated Securities shall 

be executed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of 

its President, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or one of its Executive Vice 

Presidents under its corporate seal (if legally required) which may be affixed thereto or printed, 

engraved or otherwise reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise, and which need not be 

attested, unless otherwise required by the Company’s Charter or bylaws or applicable law. 

Every Senior Subordinated Security shall be dated the date of its execution and delivery. 

Section 6.4 Computation of Interest. (a) The amount of interest payable for any 

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

Securities. 

(b) Each 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 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 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -28- 

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 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 Senior Subordinated Security is registered at the close of business on 

the Regular Record Date for such interest installment. 

(c) 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 Senior Subordinated Securities by extending the Interest Period on the Senior Subordinated 

Securities at any time and from time to time during the term of the 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 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 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 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 Senior Subordinated Security (other than Deferred Interest pursuant 

to Section 6.4(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 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 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 Senior Subordinated 

Security at his, her or its address as it appears in the 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 Senior Subordinated Securities are registered on 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -29- 

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 Senior Subordinated 

Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange 

on which such 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 6.4, each Senior Subordinated Security 

delivered under this Agreement upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other 

Senior Subordinated Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that 

were carried by such other Senior Subordinated Security. 

Section 6.5 Legends. (a) The Investor agrees that all certificates or other instruments 

representing the 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 

SUCH SECURITIES IN A DENOMINATION OF LESS THAN 

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

SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE VOID AND OF NO LEGAL 

EFFECT WHATSOEVER. ANY SUCH PURPORTED 

TRANSFEREE SHALL BE DEEMED NOT TO BE THE 

HOLDER OF SUCH SECURITIES FOR ANY PURPOSE, 

INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE RECEIPT OF 

PAYMENTS ON SUCH SECURITIES, AND SUCH 

PURPORTED TRANSFEREE SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE 

NO INTEREST WHATSOEVER IN SUCH SECURITIES. 

THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND 

CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE LETTER AGREEMENT 

BY AND BETWEEN THE COMPANY AND THE UNITED 

STATES DEPARTMENT OF THE TREASURY AND 

SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT – STANDARD 

TERMS (THE “AGREEMENT”), EACH OF WHICH ARE

OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A 

REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN 

EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE 

SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION 

FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH 

LAWS. EACH PURCHASER OF THIS SECURITY IS 

NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER MAY BE RELYING ON THE 

EXEMPTION FROM SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT 

PROVIDED BY RULE 144A THEREUNDER. ANY 

TRANSFEREE OF THIS SECURITY BY ITS ACCEPTANCE 

HEREOF (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A “QUALIFIED 

INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A 

UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT), (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL 

NOT OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE 

SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT 

EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION 

STATEMENT WHICH IS THEN EFFECTIVE UNDER THE 

SECURITIES ACT, (B) FOR SO LONG AS THE SECURITIES 

REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR

THIS INSTRUMENT IS ISSUED SUBJECT TO THE

INVESTOR REFERRED TO THEREIN, A COPY OF WHICH IS 

ON FILE WITH THE COMPANY. THIS SECURITY MAY 

NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -31- 

COMPLIANCE WITH SAID AGREEMENT. ANY SALE OR 

OTHER TRANSFER NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAID 

AGREEMENT WILL BE VOID.” 

(b) In the event that any 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 Senior 

Subordinated Securities, which shall not contain the applicable legends in Section 6.5(a) above; 

provided that the Investor surrenders to the Company the previously issued certificates or other 

instruments. 

Section 6.6 Transfer of Senior Subordinated Securities (a) The Company or its duly 

appointed agent shall maintain a register (the “Senior Subordinated Securities Register”) for the 

Senior Subordinated Securities in which it shall register the issuance and transfer of the Senior 

Subordinated Securities. All transfers of the Senior Subordinated Securities shall be recorded on 

the Senior Subordinated Securities Register maintained by the Company or its agent, and the 

Company shall be entitled to regard the registered Holder of such Senior Subordinated Security 

as the actual owner of the Senior Subordinated Security so registered until the Company or its 

agent is required to record a transfer of such Senior Subordinated Security on its Senior 

Subordinated Securities Register. The Company or its agent shall, subject to applicable 

securities laws, be required to record any such transfer when it receives the 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 Senior 

Subordinated Security and surrender of the Senior Subordinated Security for such purpose, at the 

expense of the Company, issue new Senior Subordinated Securities in exchange therefor in such 

denominations of at least $1,000, as shall be specified by the Holder of such Senior Subordinated 

Security, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the then unpaid principal amount of the Senior 

Subordinated Securities surrendered and substantially in the form of Annex A, with appropriate 

insertions and variations, and bearing interest from the date to which interest has been paid on the Senior 

Subordinated Security surrendered. All Senior Subordinated Securities issued upon any registration of 

transfer of exchange pursuant to this Section 6.6(b) shall be valid obligations of the Company, 

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

Subordinated Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 

(c) All 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 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. 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -32- 

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

Security, the Company and any agent of the Company may deem and treat the person in whose name 

such Senior Subordinated Security is registered as the absolute owner and Holder of such Senior 

Subordinated Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and interest on such 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 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 Senior Subordinated Securities, including without limitation, as 

set forth in Section 6.9; provided that the Investor shall not Transfer any 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 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(d)(iv)) and making management of the Company reasonably available to respond to 

questions of a proposed transferee in accordance with customary practice, subject in all cases to the 

proposed transferee agreeing to a customary confidentiality agreement. 

Section 6.7 Replacement of Senior Subordinated Securities. Upon receipt of evidence 

reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any 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 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 Senior Subordinated 

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

tenor, in lieu of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Senior Subordinated Security. 

Section 6.8 Cancellation. All 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 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 Senior Subordinated Securities. 

Section 6.9 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 

Holder, 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 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 Senior Subordinated 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -33- 

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 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 

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 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 

6.9(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 

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 6.9 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 6.9(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 6.9(c) were determined by pro rata allocation or 

by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -34- 

referred to in Section 6.9(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 6.10 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 Senior Subordinated 

Securities may be deposited. 

Section 6.11 Redemption. (a) The 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 6.11(e), at any 

time and from time to time, out of funds legally available therefor, upon notice given as provided 

in Section 6.11(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 Senior Subordinated Securities are then being 

redeemed, such amount shall not be less than 25% of the Purchase Price and (ii) any accrued and 

unpaid interest (including Deferred Interest). 

(b) The redemption price for any Senior Subordinated Securities shall be payable on the 

Redemption Date to the Holder of such 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 Senior Subordinated Securities will not be subject to any 

mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Senior Subordinated 

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

Securities. 

(d) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption of the Senior Subordinated Securities shall 

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

Subordinated Securities to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the 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 Senior 

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

redemption of any other Senior Subordinated Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if 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 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 Senior Subordinated Securities to be 

redeemed by such Holder; (3) the redemption price; and (4) the place or places where such Senior 

Subordinated Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price. 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -35- 

(e) Partial Redemption. The Company may redeem less than all of the outstanding 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 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 Senior Subordinated Securities shall be 

redeemed from time to time. If less than the full aggregate principal amount of any Senior Subordinated 

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

aggregate principal amount thereof without charge to the Holder thereof. 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 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 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 Senior Subordinated Securities so called for redemption, the aggregate principal amount 

of such 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 

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 Senior Subordinated 

Securities (or portion thereof so called for redemption) shall look only to the Company for payment of 

the redemption price of such Senior Subordinated Securities. 

(g) Status of Redeemed Securities. 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 6.12 Voting Rights. 

(a) General. The Holders of 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) Senior Subordinated Securities Directors. Subject to the provisions of 

Section 3.1(w), whenever, at any time or times, interest payable on the 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 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 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -36- 

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

applicable as provided in Section 6.4 above, interest on such amount), on all outstanding Senior 

Subordinated Securities has been paid in full at which time such right shall terminate with 

respect to the 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 Senior Subordinated 

Securities Director that the election of such 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 Senior Subordinated Securities as a class to vote for directors as 

provided above, the Senior Subordinated Securities Directors shall cease to be qualified as 

directors, the term of office of all Senior Subordinated Securities Directors then in office shall 

terminate immediately and the authorized number of directors shall be reduced by the number of 

Senior Subordinated Securities Directors elected pursuant hereto. Any 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 Majority Holders of the Senior 

Subordinated Securities at the time outstanding voting separately as a class, to the extent the 

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

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

as aforesaid, the remaining 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 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 

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 Senior Subordinated Securities. Any amendment, 

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

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

consolidation is required by Section 6.12(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 Senior Subordinated 

Securities; 

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

consummation of a binding exchange or reclassification involving the Senior 

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

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

Securities remain outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -37- 

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 (y) such remaining 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 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 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 6.12(c), any increase in the amount of the 

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 Senior 

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

Senior Subordinated Securities. 

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

Holders of Senior Subordinated Securities shall be required pursuant to Section 6.12(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 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 6.11 above. 

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

and conducting any meeting of the Holders of 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 Senior Subordinated Securities are listed or traded at the time. 

Section 6.13 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

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 6.9 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 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 6.14 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

other Holders at the addresses set forth on the 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.

amounts which may be due on the Senior Subordinated Securities pursuant to the terms hereof or

Senior Indebtedness (including any amounts due upon acceleration). 

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

distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or

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 Senior Subordinated Securities or 

any other amounts which may be due on the Senior Subordinated Securities pursuant to the terms 

hereof or thereof); and upon any such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation or reorganization, any 

payment by the Company, or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, 

whether in cash, property or securities, which the Holder of the Senior Subordinated Securities 

would be entitled to receive from the Company, except for the provisions of this Article VII, 

shall be paid by the Company or by any receiver, liquidating trustee, agent or other person 

making such payment or distribution, or by the Holder of the Senior Subordinated Securities 

under this Agreement if received by them or it, directly to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of 

the Company (pro rata to such holders on the basis of the respective amounts of Senior 

Indebtedness held by such holders, as calculated by the Company) or their representative or 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -40- 

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 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 7.3(a), whether in cash, property or 

securities, shall be received by any Holder of the Senior Subordinated Securities, before the amounts of

with its terms, such payment or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over 

or delivered by any Holder of a Senior Subordinated Security, to the holders of such Senior 

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

respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application to the payment of all

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 such Senior 

Indebtedness. In such event, the Company shall provide Investor with a certificate signed on behalf of 

the Company by a Senior Executive Officer confirming that the Holder of the CDCI Senior

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 Senior 

Subordinated Securities to the payment of Senior Indebtedness that may at the time be outstanding, 

provided that (i) such Senior Indebtedness is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any 

such reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness are 

not, without the consent of such holders, altered by such reorganization or readjustment. The

liquidation or dissolution of the 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 7.3 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.

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 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 Senior Subordinated Securities would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article VII, 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -41- 

and no payment pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII to or for the benefit of the holders 

of such Senior Indebtedness by the Holders of the Senior Subordinated Securities shall, as 

between the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, 

and the Holders of the 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 VII are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Holders 

of the Senior Subordinated Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of such Senior 

Indebtedness on the other hand. 

(b) Nothing contained in this Article VII or elsewhere in this Agreement or in the 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 Senior Subordinated 

Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of 

the Senior Subordinated Securities the principal of and interest on the 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 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 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 VII 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 7.5 Notice by the Company. (a) The Company shall give prompt written 

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

that would prohibit the making of any payment of monies in respect of the Senior Subordinated 

Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII. 

(b) Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article VII, 

the Holders of the Senior Subordinated Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or 

decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency, bankruptcy, 

receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding-up or similar case or proceeding is 

pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for 

the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, delivered to the 

Holders of the Senior Subordinated Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to 

participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of 

the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon 

and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article VII. 

Section 7.6 Subordination May Not Be Impaired. (a) No right of any present or 

future holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Company to enforce subordination as herein 

provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on 

the part of the Company, as the case may be, or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any 

such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company, as the case may be, with the terms, 

provisions and covenants of this Agreement, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such 

holder may have or otherwise be charged with. 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -42- 

(b) Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the 

holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may, at any time and from time to time, without 

the consent of or notice to the Holders of the Senior Subordinated Securities, without incurring 

responsibility to the Holders of the Senior Subordinated Securities and without impairing or 

releasing the subordination provided in this Article VII or the obligations hereunder of the 

Holders of the Senior Subordinated Securities to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, do any 

one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the 

time of payment of, or renew or alter, such Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or 

supplement in any manner such Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or 

any agreement under which such Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release 

or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing such Senior 

Indebtedness; (iii) release any person liable in any manner for the collection of such Senior 

Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Company, as the 

case may be, and any other person.

those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect 

and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal

adverse to any party. Upon such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an 

effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of 

the parties.

Security will be permitted to vote for two directors in the event interest is deferred for eight

Agreement.]

coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000.00 and integral multiples of $1,000.00 in excess

office or agency of the Company or its agent, accompanied by a written instrument or 

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

amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be 

made for any such registration of transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum 

sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation thereto.

FORM OF WAIVER

WAIVER OF CLAIMS

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

AMERICAN BANCORP OF ILLINOIS, INC. (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, 

the “Company”) in the United States Department of the Treasury’s (“Treasury”) Community 

Development Capital Initiative and/or any other economic stabilization program implemented by 

Treasury under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (as amended, supplemented 

or otherwise modified, “EESA”) (any such initiative or program, including 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 EESA, 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 EESA, and the applicable 

requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and Treasury 

dated as of September 17, 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 the 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 (or any of its departments or agencies) or the Company or any of its directors, 

officers, employees or agents in or before any local, state, federal or other agency, court or body. 

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 or 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 “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 
UST Sequence No. 1454 -2- 

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 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 in a Program. 

In witness whereof, I execute this waiver on my own behalf, thereby 

communicating my acceptance and acknowledgement to the provisions herein.

or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and in any event no later than 30 days thereafter), the Company shall 

(A) 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),

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

UST Sequence No. 1454 E-3 

(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 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 
UST Sequence No. 1454 E-4 

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: 

(a) 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. 

(b) 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. 

(c) 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. 
UST Sequence No. 1454 E-5 

(d) 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. 

(e) 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. 

(f) Give written notice to the Holders: 

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

Section 4.1(m) 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; 

(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. 
UST Sequence No. 1454 E-6 

(g) 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. 

(h) 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. 

(i) 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). 

(j) 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 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 (A) above and to 
UST Sequence No. 1454 E-7 

evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other 

agreement entered into by the Company. 

(k) 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 representative, managing underwriter(s), attorney or 

accountant in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement. 

(l) 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 Registrable Securities to be listed on such securities exchange as 

the Investor may designate. 

(m) 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. 

(n) Timely provide to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of 

Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder. 

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. 
UST Sequence No. 1454 E-8 

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 of this Annex E 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 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. 
UST Sequence No. 1454 E-9 

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 

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 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, 
UST Sequence No. 1454 E-10 

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.
