Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

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



     The purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the terms and conditions of the purchase by
the Investor of the Purchased Securities. Except to the extent supplemented or superseded by the
terms set forth herein or in the Schedules hereto, the provisions contained in the Securities

inconsistency between this letter agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, the terms of
this letter agreement shall govern.



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



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



     This letter agreement may be executed in any number of separate counterparts, each such
counterpart being deemed to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts will together

and words of similar import) shall be true and correct as though made on and as of the
Closing Date (other than representations and warranties that by their terms speak as of
another date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such
other date), except to the extent that the failure of such

     (iii) the Company shall have duly adopted and filed with the Secretary of State of its

of the issuance, on or prior to the Closing Date, of any regulations which require the
modification of, and the agreement of the Company hereunder to modify, the terms of any
Benefit Plans with respect to its Senior Executive Officers to eliminate any provisions of

     1.3 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to “Recitals,” “Articles,” “Sections,” or “Annexes”
such reference shall be to a Recital, Article or Section of, or Annex to, this Securities Purchase
Agreement — Standard Terms, and a reference to “Schedules” shall be to a Schedule to the Letter
Agreement, in each case, unless otherwise indicated. The terms defined in the singular have a
comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa. References to “herein”, “hereof”,
“hereunder” and the like refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section or
provision, unless the context requires otherwise. The table of contents and headings contained in
this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement. Whenever the
words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed
followed by the words “without limitation.” No rule of construction against the draftsperson shall
be applied in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, as this
Agreement is the product of negotiation between sophisticated parties advised by counsel. All
references to “$” or “dollars” mean the lawful currency of the United States of America. Except as
expressly stated in this Agreement, all references to any statute, rule or regulation are to the
statute, rule or regulation as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time (and,
in the case of statutes, include any rules and regulations promulgated under the statute) and to
any section of any statute, rule or regulation include any successor to the section. References to
a “business day” shall mean any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day on which banking
institutions in the State of New York generally are authorized or required by law or other
governmental actions to close.



Article II

Representations and Warranties




     2.1 Disclosure.



     (a) “Company Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on (i) the business,
results of operation or financial condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken
as a whole; provided, however, that Company Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include
the effects of (A) changes after the date of the Letter Agreement (the “Signing Date”) in general
business, economic or market conditions (including changes generally in prevailing interest rates,
credit availability and liquidity, currency exchange rates and price levels or trading volumes in
the United States or foreign securities or credit markets), or any outbreak or escalation of
hostilities, declared or undeclared acts of war or terrorism, in each case generally affecting the
industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate,
(B) changes or proposed changes after the Signing Date in generally accepted accounting
principles in the United States (“GAAP”) or regulatory accounting requirements, or authoritative
interpretations thereof, (C) changes or proposed changes after the Signing Date in securities,
banking and other laws of general applicability or related policies or interpretations of
Governmental Entities (in the case of each of these clauses (A), (B) and (C), other than changes



-4-









 







or
occurrences to the extent that such changes or occurrences have or would reasonably be expected to
have a materially disproportionate adverse effect on the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries
taken as a whole relative to comparable U.S. banking or financial services organizations), or (D)
changes in the market price or trading volume of the Common Stock or any other equity,
equity-related or debt securities of the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries (it being
understood and agreed that the exception set forth in this clause (D) does not apply to the
underlying reason giving rise to or contributing to any such change); or (ii) the ability of the
Company to consummate the Purchase and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and
the Warrant and perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder on a timely basis.



     (b) “Previously Disclosed” means information set forth or incorporated in the Company’s Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the most recently completed fiscal year of the Company filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) prior to the Signing Date (the “Last Fiscal Year”)
or in its other reports and forms filed with or furnished to the SEC under Sections 13(a), 14(a) or
15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) on or after the last day of the
Last Fiscal Year and prior to the Signing Date.



     2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Company. Except as Previously Disclosed, the Company represents and warrants to the Investor that as of
the Signing Date and as of the Closing Date (or such other date specified herein):



     (a) Organization, Authority and Significant Subsidiaries. The Company has been duly
incorporated and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of
organization, with the necessary power and authority to own its properties and conduct its business
in all material respects as currently conducted, and except as has not, individually or in the
aggregate, had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, has
been duly qualified as a foreign corporation for the transaction of business and is in good
standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases properties or
conducts any business so as to require such qualification; each subsidiary of the Company that is a
“significant subsidiary” within the meaning of Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X under the Securities
Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) has been duly organized and is validly existing in good standing
under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization. The Charter and bylaws of the Company, copies
of which have been provided to the Investor prior to the Signing Date, are true, complete and
correct copies of such documents as in full force and effect as of the Signing Date.



     (b) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company, and the outstanding
capital stock of the Company (including securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable
for, capital stock of the Company) as of the most recent fiscal month-end
preceding the Signing Date (the “Capitalization Date”) is set forth on Schedule B.
The outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and are validly
issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable, and subject to no preemptive rights (and were
not issued in violation of any preemptive rights). Except as provided in the Warrant, as of the
Signing Date, the Company does not have outstanding any securities or other obligations providing
the holder the right to acquire Common Stock that is not reserved for issuance as



-5-









 







specified on
Schedule B, and the Company has not made any other commitment to authorize, issue or sell
any Common Stock. Since the Capitalization Date, the Company has not issued any shares of Common
Stock, other than (i) shares issued upon the exercise of stock options or delivered under other
equity-based awards or other convertible securities or warrants which were issued and outstanding
on the Capitalization Date and disclosed on Schedule B and (ii) shares disclosed on
Schedule B.



     (c) Preferred Shares. The Preferred Shares have been duly and validly authorized, and,
when issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, such Preferred Shares will be duly and
validly issued and fully paid and non-assessable, will not be issued in violation of any preemptive
rights, and will rank pari passu with or senior to all other series or classes of Preferred Stock,
whether or not issued or outstanding, with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution
of assets in the event of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company.



     (d) The Warrant and Warrant Shares. The Warrant has been duly authorized and, when
executed and delivered as contemplated hereby, will constitute a valid and legally binding
obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as
the same may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles,
regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding at law or in equity
(“Bankruptcy Exceptions”). The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant (the
“Warrant Shares”) have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance upon exercise of the Warrant
and when so issued in accordance with the terms of the Warrant will be validly issued, fully paid
and non-assessable, subject, if applicable, to the approvals of its stockholders set forth on
Schedule C.



     (e) Authorization, Enforceability.




     (i) The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement and the Warrant and, subject, if applicable, to the approvals of its stockholders
set forth on Schedule C, to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder
(which includes the issuance of the Preferred Shares, Warrant and Warrant Shares). The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Warrant and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized
by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company and its stockholders, and no
further approval or authorization is required on the part of the Company, subject, in each
case, if applicable, to the approvals of its stockholders set forth on Schedule C.
This Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of the Company
enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to the Bankruptcy
Exceptions.




     (ii) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the
Warrant and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and
compliance by the Company with the provisions hereof and



-6-









 







thereof, will not (A) violate,
conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an
event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or
result in the termination of, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a

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

     (h) Company Financial Statements. Each of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries (collectively the “Company Financial Statements”) included or incorporated by
reference in the Company Reports filed with the SEC since December 31, 2006, present fairly in all
material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries as of the dates indicated therein (or if amended prior to the Signing Date, as of the

therein; and except as stated therein, such financial statements (A) were prepared in conformity
with GAAP applied on a consistent basis (except as may be noted therein), (B) have been prepared
from, and are in accordance with, the books and records of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries
and (C) complied as to form, as of their respective dates of filing with the SEC, in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and regulations
of the SEC with respect thereto.



     (i) Reports.




     (i) Since December 31, 2006, the Company and each subsidiary of the Company (each a
“Company Subsidiary” and, collectively, the “Company Subsidiaries”) has timely filed all
reports, registrations, documents, filings, statements and submissions, together with any
amendments thereto, that it was required to file with any Governmental Entity (the
foregoing, collectively, the “Company Reports”) and has paid all fees and assessments due
and payable in connection therewith, except, in each case, as would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. As of
their respective dates of filing, the Company Reports complied in all material respects with
all statutes and applicable rules and regulations of the applicable Governmental Entities.
In the case of each such Company Report filed with or furnished to the SEC, such Company
Report (A) did not, as of its date or if amended prior to the Signing Date, as of the date
of such amendment, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and (B) complied as to form in all
material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act. With respect to all other Company Reports, the Company Reports were complete and
accurate in all material respects as of their
respective dates. No executive officer of the Company or any Company Subsidiary has
failed in any respect to make the certifications required of him or her under Section 302 or
906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.




     (ii) The records, systems, controls, data and information of the Company and the
Company Subsidiaries are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including
any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are

-8-









 







Company Subsidiaries
or their accountants (including all means of access thereto and therefrom), except for any
non-exclusive ownership and non-direct control that would not reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on the system of internal accounting controls described below in
this Section 2.2(i)(ii). The Company (A) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) to ensure that material
information relating to the Company, including the consolidated Company Subsidiaries, is
made known to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company by
others within those entities, and (B) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation
prior to the Signing Date, to the Company’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the
Board of Directors (x) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the
Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to
record, process, summarize and report financial information and (y) any fraud, whether or
not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the
Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.



     (j) No Undisclosed Liabilities. Neither the Company nor any of the Company
Subsidiaries has any liabilities or obligations of any nature (absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise) which are not properly reflected or reserved against in the Company Financial Statements
to the extent required to be so reflected or reserved against in accordance with GAAP, except for
(A) liabilities that have arisen since the last fiscal year end in the ordinary and usual course of
business and consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities that, individually or in the
aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse
Effect.



     (k) Offering of Securities. Neither the Company nor any person acting on its behalf
has taken any action (including any offering of any securities of the Company under circumstances
which would require the integration of such offering with the offering of any of the Purchased
Securities under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated
thereunder), which might subject the offering, issuance or sale of any of the Purchased Securities
to Investor pursuant to this Agreement to the registration requirements of the Securities Act.



     (l) Litigation and Other Proceedings. Except (i) as set forth on Schedule D
or (ii) as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company
Material Adverse Effect, there is no (A) pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened,
claim,
action, suit, investigation or proceeding, against the Company or any Company Subsidiary or to
which any of their assets are subject nor is the Company or any Company Subsidiary subject to any
order, judgment or decree or (B) unresolved violation, criticism or exception by any Governmental
Entity with respect to any report or relating to any examinations or inspections of the Company or
any Company Subsidiaries.

     (m) Compliance with Laws. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries have all permits, licenses, franchises, authorizations, orders and approvals of, and
have made all filings, applications and registrations with, Governmental Entities that are required
in order to permit them to own or lease their properties and assets and to carry on their business
as presently conducted and that are material to the business of the Company or such Company
Subsidiary. Except as set forth on Schedule E, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries
have complied in all respects and are not in default or violation of, and none of them is, to the
knowledge of the Company, under investigation with respect to or, to the knowledge of the Company,

domestic (federal, state or local) or foreign law, statute, ordinance, license, rule, regulation,
policy or guideline, order, demand, writ, injunction, decree or judgment of any Governmental
Entity, other than such noncompliance, defaults or violations that would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Except for
statutory or regulatory restrictions of general application or as set forth on Schedule E,
no Governmental Entity has placed any restriction on the business or properties of the Company or
any Company Subsidiary that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a Company Material Adverse Effect.

aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect: (A) each “employee benefit plan” (within the meaning
of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”))
providing benefits to any current or former employee, officer or director of the Company or any
member of its “Controlled Group” (defined as any organization which is a member of a controlled
group of corporations within the meaning of Section 414 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended (the “Code”)) that is sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Company or any member
of its Controlled Group and for which the Company or any member of its Controlled Group would have
any liability, whether actual or contingent (each, a “Plan”) has been maintained in compliance with
its terms and with the requirements of all applicable statutes, rules and regulations, including
ERISA and the Code; (B) with respect to each Plan subject to Title IV of ERISA (including, for
purposes of this clause (B), any plan subject to Title IV of ERISA that the Company or any member
of its Controlled Group previously maintained or contributed to in the six years prior to the
Signing Date), (1) no “reportable event” (within the meaning of Section 4043(c) of ERISA), other

or is reasonably expected to occur, (3) the fair market value of the assets under each Plan exceeds
the present value of all benefits accrued under such Plan (determined based on the assumptions used
to fund such Plan) and (4) neither the Company nor any member of its Controlled Group has incurred
in the six years prior to the Signing Date, or reasonably expects to incur, any liability under
Title IV of ERISA (other than contributions to the Plan or premiums to the PBGC in the ordinary
course and without default) in respect of a Plan (including any Plan that is a “multiemployer
plan”, within the meaning of Section 4001(c)(3) of ERISA); and (C) each Plan that is intended to be
qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable



-10-









 







determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service with respect to its qualified status that has not been revoked, or such a
determination letter has been timely applied for but not received by the Signing Date, and nothing
has occurred, whether by action or by failure to act, which could reasonably be expected to cause
the loss, revocation or denial of such qualified status or favorable determination letter.



     (o) Taxes. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Company Material Adverse Effect, (i) the Company and the Company Subsidiaries have filed all
federal, state, local and foreign income and franchise Tax returns required to be filed through the
Signing Date, subject to permitted extensions, and have paid all Taxes due thereon, and (ii) no Tax
deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, nor
does the Company have any knowledge of any Tax deficiencies. “Tax” or “Taxes” means any federal,
state, local or foreign income, gross receipts, property, sales, use, license, excise, franchise,
employment, payroll, withholding, alternative or add on minimum, ad valorem, transfer or excise
tax, or any other tax, custom, duty, governmental fee or other like assessment or charge of any
kind whatsoever, together with any interest or penalty, imposed by any Governmental Entity.



     (p) Properties and Leases. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a Company Material Adverse Effect, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries have good and
marketable title to all real properties and all other properties and assets owned by them, in each
case free from liens, encumbrances, claims and defects that would affect the value thereof or
interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by them. Except as would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, the Company and
the Company Subsidiaries hold all leased real or personal property under valid and enforceable
leases with no exceptions that would interfere with the use made or to be made thereof by them.



     (q) Environmental Liability. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a Company Material Adverse Effect:




     (i) there is no legal, administrative, or other proceeding, claim or action of any

of, on the Company or any Company Subsidiary, any liability relating to the release of
hazardous substances as defined under any local, state or federal environmental statute,
regulation or ordinance, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act of 1980, pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the
Company or any Company Subsidiary;




     (ii) to the Company’s knowledge, there is no reasonable basis for any such proceeding,
claim or action; and




     (iii) neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is subject to any agreement,
order, judgment or decree by or with any court, Governmental Entity or third party imposing
any such environmental liability.

     (r) Risk Management Instruments. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
have a Company Material Adverse Effect, all derivative instruments, including, swaps, caps, floors
and option agreements, whether entered into for the Company’s own account, or for the account of
one or more of the Company Subsidiaries or its or their customers, were entered into (i) only in
the ordinary course of business, (ii) in accordance with prudent practices and in all material
respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and regulatory policies and (iii) with
counterparties believed to be financially responsible at the time; and each of such instruments
constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the Company or one of the Company
Subsidiaries, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by the Bankruptcy
Exceptions. Neither the Company or the Company Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Company,
any other party thereto, is in breach of any of its obligations under any such agreement or
arrangement other than such breaches that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

Subsidiary is subject to any material cease-and-desist or other similar order or enforcement action

to any capital directive by, or since December 31, 2006, has adopted any board resolutions at the
request of, any Governmental Entity (other than the Appropriate Federal Banking Agencies with
jurisdiction over the Company and the Company Subsidiaries) that currently restricts in any
material respect the conduct of its business or that in any material manner relates to its capital

Company or any Company Subsidiary been advised since December 31, 2006 by any such
Governmental Entity that it is considering issuing, initiating, ordering, or requesting any
such Regulatory Agreement. The Company and each Company Subsidiary are in compliance in all
material respects with each Regulatory Agreement to which it is party or subject, and neither the
Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received any notice from any Governmental Entity indicating
that either the Company or any Company Subsidiary is not in compliance in all material respects
with any such Regulatory Agreement. “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)).



     (t) Insurance. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries are insured with reputable insurers against
such risks and in such amounts as the management of the Company reasonably has determined to be

the Company, oral) communications alleging that any of them has materially infringed, diluted,
misappropriated or violated, any of the Proprietary Rights owned by any other person. Except as
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material
Adverse Effect, to the Company’s knowledge, no other person is infringing, diluting,
misappropriating or violating, nor has the Company or any or the Company Subsidiaries sent any
written communications since January 1, 2006 alleging that any person has infringed, diluted,
misappropriated or violated, any of the Proprietary Rights owned by the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries.

Article III

Covenants




     3.1 Commercially Reasonable Efforts.



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



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



-13-









 







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



     (c) None of the information supplied by the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries for
inclusion in any proxy statement in connection with any such stockholders meeting of the Company
will, at the date it is filed with the SEC, when first mailed to the Company’s stockholders and at
the time of any stockholders meeting, and at the time of any amendment or supplement thereof,
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading.



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

     3.3 Sufficiency of Authorized Common Stock; Exchange Listing.



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



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



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



     3.5 Access, Information and Confidentiality.



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



-15-









 







expected to cause a violation of any agreement to which
the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or would cause a risk of a loss of privilege to
the Company or any Company Subsidiary (provided that the Company shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances where the
restrictions in this clause (ii) apply).



     (b) The Investor will use reasonable best efforts to hold, and will use reasonable best
efforts to cause its agents, consultants, contractors and advisors to hold, in confidence all
non-public records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information
(collectively, “Information”) concerning the Company furnished or made available to it by the
Company or its representatives pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent that such
information can be shown to have been (i) previously known by such party on a non-confidential
basis, (ii) in the public domain through no fault of such party or (iii) later lawfully acquired
from
other sources by the party to which it was furnished (and without violation of any other
confidentiality obligation)); provided that nothing herein shall prevent the Investor from
disclosing any Information to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process.

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



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



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

issuance under the applicable risk-based capital guidelines of the Company’s Appropriate Federal
Banking Agency (other than any such sales and issuances made pursuant to agreements or arrangements
entered into, or pursuant to financing plans which were publicly announced, on or prior to October
13, 2008). “Business Combination” means a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or
similar transaction that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

     4.5 Registration Rights.



     (a) Registration.




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




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



-19-









 






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




     (iv) If during any period when an effective Shelf Registration Statement is not
available, the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities, other than a
registration pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(i) or a Special Registration, and the registration
form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of
Registrable Securities, the Company will give prompt written notice to the Investor and all
other Holders of its intention to effect such a registration (but in no event less than ten
days prior to the anticipated filing date) and will include in such registration all
Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for
inclusion therein within ten business days after the date of the Company’s notice (a
“Piggyback Registration”). Any such person that has made such a written request may
withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written
notice to the Company and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth business
day prior to the planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company may
terminate or withdraw any registration under this Section 4.5(a)(iv) prior to the
effectiveness of such registration, whether or not Investor or any other Holders have
elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration.




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



-20-









 






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



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



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




     (i) Prepare and file with the SEC a prospectus supplement with respect to a proposed
offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, subject
to Section 4.5(d), keep such registration statement effective and keep such prospectus
supplement current until the securities described therein are no longer Registrable
Securities.



-21-









 






     (ii) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the applicable
registration statement and the prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with
such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the
Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such
registration statement.




     (iii) Furnish to the Holders and any underwriters such number of copies of the
applicable registration statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (including
in each case all exhibits) and of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in
conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may
reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned or
to be distributed by them.




     (iv) Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by
such registration statement under such other securities or Blue Sky laws of such
jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders or any managing
underwriter(s), to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such
registration statement remains in effect, and to take any other action which may be
reasonably necessary to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such
jurisdictions of the securities owned by such Holder; provided that the Company shall not be
required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to
file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.




     (v) Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus relating
thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event
as a result of which the applicable prospectus, as then in effect, includes an untrue
statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances
then existing.




     (vi) Give written notice to the Holders:




     (A) when any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 4.5(a) or any
amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC (except for any amendment effected by
the filing of a document with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act) and when such
registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;




     (B) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration
statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;



-22-









 






     (C) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of any registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;




     (D) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock for sale in any
jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;




     (E) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in
any effective registration statement or the prospectus related to the registration
statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading (which notice shall
be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the
requisite changes have been made); and




     (F) if at any time the representations and warranties of the Company contained
in any underwriting agreement contemplated by Section 4.5(c)(x) cease to be true and
correct.




     (vii) Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal
of any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement referred to in
Section 4.5(c)(vi)(C) at the earliest practicable time.




     (viii) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 4.5(c)(v) or
4.5(c)(vi)(E), promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or
a supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as
thereafter delivered to the Holders and any underwriters, the prospectus will not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders in accordance with Section 4.5(c)(vi)(E) to
suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been
made, then the Holders and any underwriters shall suspend use of such prospectus and use
their reasonable best efforts to return to the Company all copies of such prospectus (at the
Company’s expense) other than permanent file copies then in such Holders’ or underwriters’
possession. The total number of days that any such suspension may be in effect in any
12-month period shall not exceed 90 days.




     (ix) Use reasonable best efforts to procure the cooperation of the Company’s transfer
agent in settling any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including with respect to
the transfer of physical stock certificates into book-entry form in accordance with any
procedures reasonably requested by the Holders or any managing underwriter(s).



-23-









 






     (x) If an underwritten offering is requested pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii), enter into
an underwriting agreement in customary form, scope and substance and take all such other
actions reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
being sold in connection therewith or by the managing underwriter(s), if any, to expedite or
facilitate the underwritten disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in connection
therewith in any underwritten offering (including making members of management and
executives of the Company available to participate in “road shows”, similar sales events and
other marketing activities), (A) make such representations and warranties to the Holders
that are selling stockholders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, with respect to the
business of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Shelf Registration Statement,
prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in customary form, substance and
scope, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested, (B) use its reasonable best
efforts to furnish the underwriters with opinions of counsel to the Company, addressed to
the managing underwriter(s), if any, covering the matters customarily covered in such
opinions requested in underwritten offerings, (C) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain
“cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Company
(and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any business
acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are included in
the Shelf Registration Statement) who have certified the financial statements included in
such Shelf Registration Statement, addressed to each of the managing underwriter(s), if any,
such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in
“cold comfort” letters, (D) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall
contain indemnification provisions and procedures customary in underwritten offerings
(provided that the Investor shall not be obligated to provide any indemnity), and (E)
deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith, their counsel and
the managing underwriter(s), if any, to evidence the continued validity of the
representations and warranties made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance
with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement
entered into by the Company.




     (xi) Make available for inspection by a representative of Holders that are selling
stockholders, the managing underwriter(s), if any, and any attorneys or accountants retained
by such Holders or managing underwriter(s), at the offices where normally kept, during
reasonable business hours, financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and
properties of the Company, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company to
supply all information in each case reasonably requested (and of the type customarily
provided in connection with due diligence conducted in connection with a registered public
offering of securities) by any such representative, managing underwriter(s), attorney or
accountant in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement.




     (xii) Use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed
on each national securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are
then listed or, if no similar securities issued by the Company are then listed on any
national securities exchange, use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable
Securities to be listed on such securities exchange as the Investor may designate.



-24-









 






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




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



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



     (e) Termination of Registration Rights. A Holder’s registration rights as to any
securities held by such Holder (and its Affiliates, partners, members and former members) shall not
be available unless such securities are Registrable Securities.



     (f) Furnishing Information.




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




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



-25-









 





     (g) Indemnification.




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




     (ii) If the indemnification provided for in Section 4.5(g)(i) is unavailable to an
Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or
expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the Indemnitee harmless as
contemplated therein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses,
claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the
Company, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other
relevant



-26-









 







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



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



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

     (j) Rule 144; Rule 144A. With a view to making available to the Investor and Holders
the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC which may permit the sale of the
Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Company agrees to use its reasonable
best efforts to:




     (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and
defined in Rule 144(c)(1) or any similar or analogous rule promulgated under the Securities
Act, at all times after the Signing Date;




     (ii) (A) file with the SEC, in a timely manner, all reports and other documents
required of the Company under the Exchange Act, and (B) if at any time the Company is not
required to file such reports, make available, upon the request of any Holder, such
information necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144A (including the information
required by Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act);




     (iii) so long as the Investor or a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, furnish to
the Investor or such Holder forthwith upon request: a written statement by the Company as to
its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of
the Exchange Act; a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company; and
such other reports and documents as the Investor or Holder may reasonably request in
availing itself of any rule or regulation of the SEC allowing it to sell any such securities
to the public without registration; and




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



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




     (i) “Holder” means the Investor and any other holder of Registrable Securities to whom
the registration rights conferred by this Agreement have been transferred in compliance with
Section 4.5(h) hereof.




     (ii) “Holders’ Counsel” means one counsel for the selling Holders chosen by Holders
holding a majority interest in the Registrable Securities being registered.




     (iii) “Register,” “registered,” and “registration” shall refer to a registration
effected by preparing and (A) filing a registration statement in compliance with the
Securities Act and applicable rules and regulations thereunder, and the declaration or
ordering of effectiveness of such registration statement or (B) filing a prospectus and/or
prospectus supplement in respect of an appropriate effective registration statement on Form
S-3.



-28-









 






     (iv) “Registrable Securities” means (A) all Preferred Shares, (B) the Warrant (subject
to Section 4.5(p)) and (C) any equity securities issued or issuable directly or indirectly
with respect to the securities referred to in the foregoing clauses (A) or (B) by way of
conversion, exercise or exchange thereof, including the Warrant Shares, or share dividend or
share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization,
reclassification, merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation or other
reorganization, provided that, once issued, such securities will not be Registrable
Securities when (1) they are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the
Securities Act, (2) except as provided below in Section 4.5(o), they may be sold pursuant to
Rule 144 without limitation thereunder on volume or manner of sale, (3) they shall have
ceased to be outstanding or (4) they have been sold in a private transaction in which the
transferor’s rights under this Agreement are not assigned to the transferee of the
securities. No Registrable Securities may be registered under more than one registration
statement at any one time.




     (v) “Registration Expenses” mean all expenses incurred by the Company in effecting any
registration pursuant to this Agreement (whether or not any registration or prospectus
becomes effective or final) or otherwise complying with its obligations under this Section
4.5, including all registration, filing and listing fees, printing expenses, fees and
disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses, expenses incurred in
connection with any “road show”, the reasonable fees and disbursements of Holders’ Counsel,
and expenses of the Company’s independent accountants in connection with any regular or
special reviews or audits incident to or required by any such registration, but shall not
include Selling Expenses.




     (vi) “Rule 144”, “Rule 144A”, “Rule 159A”, “Rule 405” and “Rule 415” mean, in each
case, such rule promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor provision), as the
same shall be amended from time to time.




     (vii) “Selling Expenses” mean all discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer
taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities and fees and disbursements of counsel
for any Holder (other than the fees and disbursements of Holders’ Counsel included in
Registration Expenses).



     (l) At any time, any holder of Securities (including any Holder) may elect to forfeit its
rights set forth in this Section 4.5 from that date forward; provided, that a Holder forfeiting
such rights shall nonetheless be entitled to participate under Section 4.5(a)(iv) — (vi) in any
Pending Underwritten Offering to the same extent that such Holder would have been entitled to if
the holder had not withdrawn; and provided, further, that no such forfeiture shall terminate a
Holder’s rights or obligations under Section 4.5(f) with respect to any prior registration or
Pending Underwritten Offering. “Pending Underwritten Offering” means, with respect to any Holder
forfeiting its rights pursuant to this Section 4.5(l), any underwritten offering of

Registrable
Securities in which such Holder has advised the Company of its intent to register its Registrable
Securities either pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii) or 4.5(a)(iv) prior to the date of such Holder’s
forfeiture.



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



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



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



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



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



-30-









 





     4.7 Depositary Shares. Upon request by the Investor at any time following the Closing Date, the Company shall
promptly enter into a depositary arrangement, pursuant to customary agreements reasonably
satisfactory to the Investor and with a depositary reasonably acceptable to the Investor, pursuant
to which the Preferred Shares may be deposited and depositary shares, each representing a fraction
of a Preferred Share as specified by the Investor, may be issued. From and after the
execution of any such depositary arrangement, and the deposit of any Preferred Shares pursuant
thereto, the depositary shares issued pursuant thereto shall be deemed “Preferred Shares” and, as
applicable, “Registrable Securities” for purposes of this Agreement.



     4.8 Restriction on Dividends and Repurchases.



     (a) Prior to the earlier of (x) the third anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) the date on
which the Preferred Shares have been redeemed in whole or the Investor has transferred all of the
Preferred Shares to third parties which are not Affiliates of the Investor, neither the Company nor
any Company Subsidiary shall, without the consent of the Investor:




     (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on the Common Stock (other
than (A) regular quarterly cash dividends of not more than the amount of the last quarterly
cash dividend per share declared or, if lower, publicly announced an intention to declare,
on the Common Stock prior to October 14, 2008, as adjusted for any stock split, stock
dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar transaction, (B) dividends
payable solely in shares of Common Stock and (C) dividends or distributions of rights or
Junior Stock in connection with a stockholders’ rights plan); or




     (ii) redeem, purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock or other capital stock or
other equity securities of any kind of the Company, or any trust preferred securities issued
by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, other than (A) redemptions, purchases or
other acquisitions of the Preferred Shares, (B) redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions
of shares of Common Stock or other Junior Stock, in each case in this clause (B) in
connection with the administration of any employee benefit plan in the ordinary course of
business (including purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount (as defined below)
pursuant to a publicly announced repurchase plan) and consistent with past practice;
provided that any purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount shall in no event exceed the
Share Dilution Amount, (C) purchases or other acquisitions by a broker-dealer subsidiary of
the Company solely for the purpose of market-making, stabilization or customer facilitation
transactions in Junior Stock or Parity Stock in the ordinary course of its business, (D)
purchases by a broker-dealer subsidiary of the Company of capital stock of the Company for
resale pursuant to an offering by the Company of such capital stock underwritten by such
broker-dealer subsidiary, (E) any redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant to any
stockholders’ rights plan, (F) the acquisition by the Company or any of the Company
Subsidiaries of record ownership in Junior Stock or Parity Stock for the beneficial
ownership of any other persons (other than the Company or any other Company Subsidiary),
including as trustees or custodians, and (G) the exchange or conversion of Junior Stock for
or into



-31-









 







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



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



     (c) “Junior Stock” means Common Stock and any other class or series of stock of the Company
the terms of which expressly provide that it ranks junior to the Preferred Shares as to dividend
rights and/or as to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. “Parity Stock”
means any class or series of stock of the Company the terms of which do not expressly provide that
such class or series will rank senior or junior to the Preferred Shares as to dividend rights
and/or as to rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (in each case without
regard to whether dividends accrue cumulatively or non-cumulatively).



     4.9 Repurchase of Investor Securities.



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



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



-32-









 





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




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




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



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

day and not be under any obligation to extend the term of this Agreement thereafter; provided,
further, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5.1(a) shall not be

changes after the Signing Date in applicable federal statutes. No failure or delay by any party in

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

officer of the waiving party that makes express reference to the provision or provisions subject to
