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

    Each of

        14

consented in writing to such changes), as may be necessary, during the period
that the Investor owns any debt or equity securities of the Company acquired
pursuant to this Agreement or the Warrant, in order to comply with Section
111(b) of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 ("EESA") as implemented by
guidance or regulation thereunder that has been issued and is in effect as of

    (viii)
the Company shall have duly executed the Warrant in substantially the form

such executed Warrant to the Investor or its designee(s).

     

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

    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

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 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


    
      
         


      

      
        16

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

     

    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 part 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 thereof, will not
(A) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or
constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or
accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or
acceleration of, or result in the creation of, any lien, security interest,
charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any
Company Subsidiary under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (i)
subject, if applicable, to the approvals of the Company's stockholders set forth
on Schedule C,
its organizational documents or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed
of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which
the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which it or any Company
Subsidiary may be bound, or to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary or
any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary may be
subject, or (B) subject to compliance with the statutes and regulations referred
to in the next paragraph, violate any statute, rule or regulation or any
judgment, ruling, order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to the Company or
any Company Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets except,
in the case of clauses (A)(ii) and (B), for those occurrences that, individually
or in the aggregate, have not had and would not reasonably be expected to have a
Company Material Adverse Effect.

     

     

    (iii)Other
than the filing of the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary
of State
of its jurisdiction of organization or other applicable Governmental Entity, any
current report on Form 8-K required to be filed with the SEC, such filings and
approvals as are required to be made or obtained under any state "blue sky"
laws, the filing of any proxy statement contemplated by Section 3.1 and such as
have been made or obtained, no notice to, filing with, exemption or review by,
or authorization, consent or approval of, any Governmental Entity is required to
be made or obtained by the Company in connection with the consummation by the
Company of the Purchase except for any such notices, filings, exemptions,
reviews, authorizations, consents and approvals the failure of which to
make or obtain would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (f) Anti-takeover Provisions and
Rights Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board of Directors") has
taken all necessary action to ensure that the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Warrant and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, including the exercise of the Warrant in accordance with its
terms, will be exempt from any anti-takeover or similar provisions of the
Company's Charter and bylaws, and any other provisions of any applicable
"moratorium", "control share", "fair price", "interested stockholder" or other
anti-takeover laws and regulations of any jurisdiction. The Company has taken
all actions necessary to render any stockholders' rights plan of the Company
inapplicable to this Agreement and the Warrant and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the exercise of the
Warrant by the Investor in accordance with its terms.

     

    (g) No Company Material Adverse
Effect. Since the last day of the last completed fiscal period for which
the Company has filed a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or an Annual Report on
Form 10-K with the SEC prior to the Signing Date, no fact, circumstance, event,
change, occurrence, condition or development has occurred that, individually or
in the aggregate, has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Company
Material Adverse Effect.

     

    (h) Company Financial
Statements. Each of the consolidated financial statements of the Company
and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively the "Company Financial Statements") included or
incorporated by reference in the Company Reports filed with the SEC since
December 31, 2006, present fairly in all material respects the consolidated
financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the
dates indicated therein (or if amended prior to the Signing Date, as of the date
of such amendment) and the consolidated results of their operations for the
periods specified therein; and except as stated therein, such financial
statements (A) were prepared in conformity with GAAP applied on a consistent
basis (except as may be noted therein), (B) have been prepared from, and are in
accordance with, the books and records of the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries and (C) complied as to form, as of their respective dates of filing
with the SEC, in all material respects with the applicable accounting
requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with
respect thereto.

     

    (i) Reports.

     

    (i) Since
December 31, 2006, the Company and each subsidiary of the Company (each a "Company Subsidiary" and,
collectively, the "Company
Subsidiaries") has timely filed all reports, registrations, documents,
filings, statements and submissions, together with any amendments thereto, that
it was required to file with any Governmental Entity (the foregoing,
collectively, the "Company
Reports") and has paid all fees and assessments due and payable in
connection therewith, except, in each case, as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. As
of their respective dates of filing, the Company Reports complied in all
material respects with all statutes and applicable rules and regulations of the
applicable Governmental Entities. In the case of each such Company Report filed
with or furnished to the SEC, such Company Report (A) did not, as of its date or
if amended prior to the Signing Date, as of the date of such amendment, contain
an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
necessary in order to make the statements 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 under the exclusive ownership and direct control
of the Company or the 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.

    


    (1) 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.

    (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

operations or business (each item in this sentence, a "Regulatory Agreement"), nor
has the 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

Material Adverse Effect.

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,

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 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 own financial or other
consultants, investment bankers, accountants and counsel.

    


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

     

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

    (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.


    
      
         


      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    (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).

     

     

                   
(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.

     

    (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;


    
      
         


      

      
        24

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


    (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).

     

     


    
      
         


      

      
        25

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    

    (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.

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.

     

    (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

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

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

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.

     

    (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 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.

     

    (i) 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:

     

    (ii) 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;

     

    (iii) (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);

     

    (iv) 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

     

    (v) 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

    (iv) "Registrable Securities"

Warrant Shares, or share dividend or share split or in connection with a
combination of shares, recapitalization, reclassification, merger, amalgamation,

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

    (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).

     

    (1) 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(1), 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.

    


    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 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.


    
      
         


      

      
        26

        
          

        

      

      
         


      

    


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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    4.11 Bank and Thrift Holding
Company Status. If the Company is a Bank Holding Company or a Savings and
Loan Holding Company on the Signing Date, then the Company shall maintain its
status as a Bank Holding Company or Savings and Loan Holding Company, as the
case may be, for as long as the Investor owns any Purchased Securities or
Warrant Shares. The Company shall redeem all Purchased Securities and Warrant
Shares held by the Investor prior to terminating its status as a Bank Holding
Company or Savings and Loan Holding Company, as applicable. "Bank Holding Company" means
a company registered as such with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System (the "Federal Reserve")
pursuant to 12 U.S.C. § 1842 and the regulations of the Federal Reserve
promulgated thereunder. "Savings and Loan Holding
Company" means a
company registered as such with the Office of Thrift Supervision pursuant to 12
U.S.C. § 1467(a) and the regulations of the Office of Thrift Supervision
promulgated thereunder.

     

    4.12 Predominantly
Financial. For as long as the Investor owns any Purchased Securities or
Warrant Shares, the Company, to the extent it is not itself an insured
depository institution, agrees to remain predominantly engaged in financial
activities. A company is predominantly engaged in financial activities if the
annual gross revenues derived by the company and all subsidiaries of the company
(excluding revenues derived from subsidiary depository institutions), on a
consolidated basis, from engaging in activities that are financial in nature or
are incidental to a financial activity under subsection (k) of Section 4 of the
Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 1843(k)) represent at least 85
percent of the consolidated annual gross revenues of the company.

the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date; or

     

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

and nonappealable; or

     

    (c) by the
mutual written consent of the Investor and the Company. In the event of
termination of this Agreement as provided in this Section 5.1, this Agreement
shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of
either party hereto except that nothing herein shall relieve either party from
liability for any breach of this Agreement.

made herein or in any certificates delivered in connection with the Closing
shall survive the Closing without limitation.

to the extent required to comply with any changes after the Signing Date in
applicable federal statutes. No failure or delay by any party in exercising any

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

     

    5.4 Waiver of Conditions.
The conditions to each party's obligation to consummate

effective unless it is in a writing signed by a duly authorized officer of the
waiving party that makes express reference to the provision or provisions
subject to such waiver.

    ANNEX
B

    FORM OF
WAIVER

    


    In
consideration for the benefits I will receive as a result of my employer’s
participation in the United States Department of the Treasury’s TARP Capital
Purchase Program, I hereby voluntarily waive any claim against the United States
or any state or territory thereof or my employer or any of its directors,
officers, employees and agents for any changes to my compensation or benefits
that are required in order to comply with Section 111 of the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008, as amended (“EESA”), and rules,
regulations, guidance or other requirements issued thereunder (collectively, the
“EESA
Restrictions”).

    


    I
acknowledge that the EESA Restrictions may require modification of the
employment, compensation, bonus, incentive, severance, retention and other
benefit plans, arrangements, policies and agreements (including so-called
“golden parachute” agreements), whether or not in writing, that I have with my
employer or in which I participate as they relate to the period the United
States holds any equity or debt securities of my employer acquired through the
TARP Capital Purchase Program and I hereby consent to all such
modifications.  I further acknowledge and agree that if my employer
notifies me in writing that I have received payments in violation of the EESA
Restrictions, I shall repay the aggregate amount of such payments to my employer
no later than fifteen business days following my receipt of such
notice.

    


    This
waiver includes all claims I may have under the laws of the United States or any
other jurisdiction related to the requirements imposed by the EESA Restrictions
(including without limitation, any claim for any compensation or other payments
or benefits I would otherwise receive absent the EESA Restrictions, any
challenge to the process by which the EESA Restrictions were adopted and any
tort or constitutional claim about the effect of the foregoing on my employment
relationship) and I hereby agree that I will not at any time initiate, or cause
or permit to be initiated on my behalf, any such claim against the United
States, my employer or its directors, officers, employees or agents in or before
any local, state, federal or other agency, court or body.

of any dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company.

     

    (c) The
Warrant has been duly authorized and, when executed and delivered as

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.

     

    (d) The
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrant 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 [insert, if
applicable: , subject to the approvals of the Company's stockholders set

    (f) The
execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the Agreement and the
Warrant and the consummation of the transactions contemplated 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

    Ladies
and Gentlemen:

    


    Reference
is made to that certain Letter Agreement incorporating the Securities Purchase
Agreement – Standard Terms dated of as of the date of this letter agreement (the
“Securities Purchase
Agreement”) between United States Department of Treasury (“Investor”) and the company
named on the signature page hereto (the “Company”).  Capitalized
terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Securities Purchase Agreement.

     

    The
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, as it may be amended from time
to time (the “Act”),
includes provisions relating to executive compensation and other matters that
may be inconsistent with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Warrant and the
Certificate(s) of Designation (the “Transaction
Documents”).  Accordingly, Investor and the Company desire to
confirm their understanding as follows:

     

    1.           Notwithstanding
anything in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, in the event that the Act
or any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder are inconsistent with any of
the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Act and such rules and regulations
shall control.

     

    2.           For
the avoidance of doubt (and without limiting the generality of Paragraph
1):

     

    (a)           the
provisions of Section 111 of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008,
as amended by the Act or otherwise from time to time (“EESA”), shall apply to the
Company;

     

    (b)           the
waiver to be delivered by each of the Company’s Senior Executive Officers
pursuant to Section 1.2(d)(v) of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall, in
addition, be delivered by any additional highly compensated employees required
by applicable rules or regulations under EESA;

     

    (c)           the
Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer shall provide the
written certification of compliance by the Company with the requirements of
Section 111 of EESA in the manner specified by Section 111(b)(4) thereunder or
in any rules or regulations under EESA; and

     

                                   
(d)  
the
Company shall be permitted to repay preferred shares, and when such preferred
shares are repaid, the Investor shall liquidate warrants associated with such
preferred shares, all in accordance with the Act and any rules and regulations
thereunder.

     

    From and
after the date hereof, each reference in the Securities Purchase Agreement to
“this Agreement” or “this Securities Purchase Agreement” or words of like import
shall mean and be a reference to the Agreement (as defined in the Securities
Purchase Agreement) as amended by this letter agreement.

     

    This
letter agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the
federal law of the United States if and to the extent such law is applicable,
and otherwise in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
contracts made and to be performed entirely within such State.

    


    This
letter agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Warrant, the
Certificate(s) of Designation and any other documents executed by the parties at
the Closing constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof.

    


    Nothing
in this letter agreement shall be deemed an admission by Investor as to the
necessity of obtaining the consent of the Company in order to effect the changes
to the Transaction Documents contemplated by this letter agreement, nor shall
anything in this letter agreement be deemed to require Investor to obtain the
consent of any other TARP recipient (as defined in the Act) participating in the
Capital Purchase Program (the “CPP”) in order to effect
changes to their documentation under the CPP.

    


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

    In
witness whereof, the parties have duly executed this letter agreement as of the
date first written above.
