    ARTICLE II.AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE
REVOLVING COMMITMENTS

    

    Section 2.1. Revolving
Loans

    .  Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to
make Revolving Loans to the Borrower, from time to time during the Availability
Period, in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any time that will not
result in (i) such Lender’s aggregate Revolving Loans exceeding such
Lender’s Revolving Commitment or (ii) the sum of the Revolving Loans of all
Lenders exceeding the Aggregate Revolving Commitments.  During the
Availability Period, the Borrower shall be entitled to borrow, prepay and
reborrow Revolving Loans in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Agreement; pro­vided, that
the Borrower may not borrow or reborrow should there exist a Default or Event of
Default.

    

    Section 2.2. Procedure for Revolving
Loans

    .  The
Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent written notice (or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing substantially in the
form of Exhibit 2.2 attached hereto (a “Notice of
Borrowing”) (x) prior to 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to
the requested date of each Base Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to 11:00 a.m.
three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of each Eurodollar
Borrowing.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and shall
specify: (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Borrowing,
(ii) the date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day),
(iii) the Type of such Revolving Loan comprising such Borrowing and
(iv) in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, the duration of the initial
Interest Period applicable thereto (subject to the provisions of the definition
of Interest Period).  Each Borrowing shall consist entirely of Base
Rate Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as the Borrower may request.  The
aggregate principal amount of each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be not less than
$2,500,000 or a larger multiple of $500,000, and the aggregate principal amount
of each Base Rate Borrowing shall not be less than $500,000 or a larger multiple
of $100,000.  At no time shall the total number of Eurodollar
Borrowings outstanding at any time exceed six.  Promptly following the
receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in accordance herewith, the Administrative
Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and the amount of such
Lender’s Revolving Loan to be made as part of the requested Revolving
Borrowing.

    

    Section 2.3. Funding
of Borrowings.

    

    (a)           Each
Lender will make available each Revolving Loan to be made by it hereunder on the
proposed date thereof by wire transfer in immediately available funds by 11:00
a.m. to the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office.  The
Administrative Agent will make such Revolving Loans available to the Borrower by
promptly crediting the amounts that it receives, in like funds by the close of
business on such proposed date, to an account maintained by the Borrower with
the Administrative Agent or at the Borrower’s option, by effecting a wire
transfer of such amounts to an account designated by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent as set forth in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing.

    

    (b)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to 5:00
p.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the date of a Borrowing that such Lender will
not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the
Administrative Agent, in reliance on such assumption, may make available to the
Borrower on such date a cor­responding amount.  If such
corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent
by such Lender on the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender
to­gether with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for up to two (2) days and
thereafter at the rate specified for such Borrowing.  If such Lender
does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s
demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower,
and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the
Administrative Agent together with interest at the rate specified for such
Bor­rowing.  Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to
relieve any Lender from its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of any
Borrowing hereunder or to preju­dice any rights which the Borrower may have
against any Lender as a result of any de­fault by such Lender
hereunder.

    

    (c)           All
Revolving Loans shall be made by the Lenders on the basis of their respective
Pro Rata Shares.  No Lender shall be responsible for any default by
any other Lender in its obligations hereunder, and each Lender shall be
ob­ligated to make its Revolving Loans provided to be made by it hereunder,
regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Revolving Loans
hereunder.

    

    Section 2.4. Interest
Elections.

    

    (a)           Each
Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial
Interest Period as specified in such Notice of Borrowing.  Thereafter,
the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing into a different Type or to
continue such Borrowing, and in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect
Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section.

    

    (b)           To
make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) of each Borrowing substantially in the form of Exhibit 2.4
attached hereto (a “Notice of
Continuation/Conversion”) that is to be continued or converted, as the
case may be, (x) prior to 11:00 a.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the
requested date of a conversion into a Base Rate Borrowing and (y) prior to
11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to a continuation of or conversion into
a Eurodollar Borrowing.  Each such Notice of Continuation/Conversion
shall be irrevocable and shall specify (i) the Borrowing to which such
Notice of Continuation/Conversion applies; (ii) the effective date of the
election made pursuant to such Notice of Continuation/Conversion, which shall be
a Business Day, (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate
Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is
to be a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period applicable thereto after
giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the
definition of “Interest Period”.  If any such Notice of
Continuation/Conversion requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an
Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest
Period of one month.  The principal amount of any resulting Borrowing
shall satisfy the minimum borrowing amount for Eurodollar Borrowings and Base
Rate Borrowings set forth in Section 2.2.

    

    (c)           If,
on the expiration of any Interest Period in respect of any Eurodollar Borrowing,
the Borrower shall have failed to deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation,
then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have elected to convert such Borrowing to a Base Rate
Borrowing.  No Borrowing may be converted into, or continued as, a
Eurodollar Borrowing if a Default or an Event of Default exists, unless the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall have otherwise consented in
writing.  No conversion of any Eurodollar Loans shall be permitted
except on the last day of the Interest Period in respect thereof. 

    

    (d)           Upon
receipt of any Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion
of each resulting Borrowing.

    

    Section 2.5. Optional
Reduction and Termination of Revolving Commitments.

    

    (a)           The
Aggregate Revolving Commitments shall terminate on the Commitment Termination
Date.

    

    (b)           Upon
at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) to the Administrative Agent (which notice shall
be irrevocable), the Borrower may reduce the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in
part or terminate the Aggregate Revolving Commitments in whole; provided, that
(i) any partial reduction shall apply to reduce proportionately and
permanently the Revolving Commitment of each Lender, (ii) any partial
reduction pursuant to this Section 2.5
shall be in an amount of at least $2,500,000 and any larger multiple of $500,000
and (iii) no such reduction shall be permitted which would reduce the
Aggregate Revolving Commitments (after giving effect thereto and any concurrent
prepayments made under Section 2.6) to
an amount less than the outstanding Revolving Loans of all Lenders.

    

    Section 2.6. Repayment
and Prepayments of Revolving Loans.

    

    (a)           The
outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall be due and payable
(together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the Commitment
Termination Date.

    

    (b)           The
Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any
Borrowing, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, by giving
irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing)
to the Administrative Agent no later than (i) in the case of prepayment of
any Eurodollar Borrowing, prior to 11:00 a.m. not less than three (3) Business
Days prior to any such prepayment, and (ii) in the case of any prepayment
of any Base Rate Borrowing, prior to 11:00 a.m. not less than one Business Day
prior to the date of such prepayment.  Each such notice shall be
irrevocable and shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the
principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be
prepaid.  Upon receipt of any such notice, the Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents thereof and of such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of any such prepayment.  If such notice is given, the
aggregate amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date
designated in such notice, together with accrued interest to such date on the
amount so prepaid in accordance with Section 2.16(a);
provided, that
if a Eurodollar Borrowing is prepaid on a date other than the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall also pay all amounts
required pursuant to Section 2.14.  Each
partial prepayment of any Revolving Loan shall be in an amount that would be
permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type pursuant to
Section 2.2.  Each
prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Revolving Loans
comprising such Borrowing.

    

    (c)           All
prepayments shall be applied first to any outstanding Base Rate Loans and then
to Eurodollar Loans in direct order of Interest Period maturities.

    

    Section 2.7. Interest
on Loans.

    

    (a)           The
Borrower shall pay interest (i) on each Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate in
effect from time to time plus the Base Rate Margin,
and (ii) on each Eurodollar Loan, at LIBOR for the applicable Interest
Period in effect for such Eurodollar Loan, plus 1.25% per
annum.

    

    (b)           Following
the occurrence of an Event of Default, and in any event after acceleration, the
Borrower shall pay interest (“Default
Interest”) with respect to all Eurodollar Loans at the rate otherwise
applicable for the then-current Interest Pe­riod plus an additional 2% per
annum until the last day of such Interest Period, and thereafter, and with
respect to all Base Rate Loans and all other Obligations under this Agreement
(other than Loans), at the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin
plus 2% per
annum.

    

    (c)           Interest
on the principal amount of all Revolving Loans shall accrue from and
includ­ing the date such Revolving Loans are made to but excluding the date
of any repay­ment thereof.  Interest on all outstanding Eurodollar
Loans shall be payable in arrears on the last day of each Interest Period
applicable thereto and in the case of Eurodollar Loans having an Interest Period
longer than three months, on the date which occurs every three months after the
initial date of such Interest Period, and in any case on the Commitment
Termination Date.  Interest on all Base Rate Loans shall be payable in
arrears on the last day of each calendar quarter and on the Commitment
Termination Date.  All Default Interest shall be payable on
demand.

    

    (d)           The
Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the
Revolving Loans hereunder and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders
of such rate in writing (or by telephone, promptly con­firmed in
writing).  Any such determination shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.

    

    Section 2.8. Facility
Fees

    .  The
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each
Lender a facility fee, which shall accrue at 0.20% per annum on the daily amount
of the Revolving Commitment (whether used or unused) of such Lender during the
Availability Period; provided, that if such Lender continues to have any
Revolving Loans after the Commitment Termination Date, then the facility fee
shall continue to accrue on the daily amount of such Revolving Loans from and
after the Commitment Termination Date to the date that all of such Lender’s
Revolving Loans have been paid in full.  Accrued facility fees shall
be payable in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and
December of each year and on the Commitment Termination Date, commencing on the
first such date after the Closing Date; provided further, that any facility fees
accruing after the Commitment Termination Date shall be payable on
demand.

    

    Section 2.9. Computation of Interest and
Fees

    .  All
computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year
of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but
excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees
are payable (to the extent computed on the basis of days
elapsed).  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest amount or fee hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for
manifest error, shall be final, con­clusive and binding for all
purposes.

    

    Section 2.10. Inability to Determine
Interest Rates

    .  If
prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar
Loans, the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall
be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower) that (a) by reason of
circumstances affecting the relevant interbank market, ad­equate means do
not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or (b) the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required Lenders that
LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making,
funding or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans for such Interest Period, the
Administrative Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly
confirmed in writing) to the Borrower as soon as practicable
thereafter.  Until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and
the Lenders that the circumstances giv­ing rise to such notice no longer
exist, (x) the obligations of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Loans or to
continue or convert outstanding Revolving Loans as or into Eurodollar Loans
shall be suspended and (y) all such affected Revolving Loans shall be
converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest
Period unless the Borrower elects to prepay such Revolving Loans in accordance
with this Agreement.

    

    Section 2.11. Evidence of
Indebtedness

    .  Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice appropriate records
evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each
Revolving Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of
principal and interest payable thereon and paid to such Lender from time to time
under this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall maintain
appropriate records in which shall be recorded (i) the Revolving Commitment
of each Lender, (ii) the amount of each Revolving Loan made hereunder by
each Lender, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(iii) the date of each continuation thereof pursuant to Section 2.4,
(iv) the date of each conversion of all or a portion thereof to another
Type pursuant to Section 2.4,
(v) the date and amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to
become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of
such Loans and (vi) both the date and amount of any sum received by the
Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower in respect of the Loans and
each Lender’s Pro Rata Share thereof.  The entries made in such
records shall be prima facie evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence
and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, that
the failure or delay of any Lender or the Administrative Agent in maintaining or
making entries into any such record or any error therein shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans (both principal and
unpaid accrued interest) made by such Lender to the Borrower in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.  On the Closing Date, the Borrower will
execute and deliver a Revolving Credit Note to each Lender.

    

    Section 2.12. Illegality

    .  If
any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make,
maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loan and such Lender shall so notify the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice
thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make
Eurodollar Loans, or to continue or convert any outstanding Revolving Loans as
or into Eurodollar Loans, shall be suspended.  In the case of the
making of a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Lender’s Revolving Loan shall be made as
a Base Rate Loan as part of the same Borrowing for the same Interest Period and
if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be
converted to a Base Rate Loan either (x) on the last day of the then
current Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Loan if such Lender may
lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such date or
(y) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such
date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the affected Lender shall, prior
to giving such notice to the Administrative Agent, designate a different
Applicable Lending Office if such designation would avoid the need for giving
such notice and if such designation would not be disadvantageous to such Lender
in the good faith exercise of its discretion.

    

    Section 2.13. Increased
Costs.

    

    (a)           If
any Change in Law shall:

    

    
      	
              (i)

            	
              impose,
      modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
      requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR
      hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
      credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement
      reflected in the calculation of LIBOR);
or

            

    

    

    (ii)           impose
on any Lender or the eurodollar interbank market any other condition affecting
this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

    

    and the
result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making,
converting into,
continuing or maintaining a Eurodollar Loan or to reduce the amount received or
receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other
amount), then the Borrower shall promptly pay, upon written notice (with
adequate detail of such increased costs) from and demand by such Lender (with a
copy of such notice and demand to the Administrative Agent), to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, additional amount or
amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred
or reduction suffered in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 2.13.

    

    (b)           If
any Lender shall have determined that on or after the date of this Agreement any
Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the ef­fect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital (or on the capital of
such Lender’s parent corporation) as a consequence of its obligations
here­under to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s parent
corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s policies or the policies of such Lender’s parent
corporation with respect to capital adequacy) then, from time to time, the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such Lender’s parent corporation for any such reduction suffered
in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 2.13.

    

    (c)           A
certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or its parent corporation, as the case may be, specified
in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be con­clusive, absent
manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay any such Lender such amount or
amounts within 10 days after receipt thereof.

    

    (d)           Failure
or delay on the part of a Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section
for (x) any increased cost or reduction of amounts received or receivable
described in paragraph (a) above or (y) any reduction of the rate of return on
such Lender’s capital described in paragraph (b) above, if such increase or
reduction, as the case may be, is suffered more than 90 days prior to the date
that such Lender gives any required notice and demand (except that, if the
Change in Law that causes such increase or reduction, as the case may be, is
retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

    

    Section 2.14. Funding
Indemnity

    .  In
the event of (a) the payment of any principal of a Eurodollar Loan other
than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a
result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion or continuation of a
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, or (c) the failure by the Borrower to borrow, prepay, convert or
continue any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any applicable notice
(regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such
event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, within five (5) Business Days
after written demand from such Lender, for any actual loss, cost or expense
incurred by such Lender attributable to such event.  In the case of a
Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount
determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of
interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan
if such event had not occurred at LIBOR applicable to such Eurodollar Loan for
the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current
Interest Period therefor (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or
continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such
Eurodollar Loan) over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the
principal amount of such Eurodollar Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set
on the date such Eurodollar Loan was prepaid or converted or the date on which
the Borrower failed to borrow, convert or continue such Eurodollar
Loan.  A certifi­cate as to any additional amount payable under
this Section 2.14
submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be con­clusive, absent
manifest error.

    

    Section 2.15. Taxes.

    

    (a)           Any
and all payments by or on account of any Obligation of the Borrower under this
Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if the
Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from
such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so
that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or any
Lender (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall
make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law.

    

    (b)           In
addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

    

    (c)           The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten
(10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account
of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability, together with reasonable evidence of such payment, as applicable,
delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

    

    (d)           As
soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.

    

    (e)           Any
Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under the Code or any treaty to which the United States is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender agrees that it
will deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or in the case of a
Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been
purchased), as appropriate, two (2) duly completed copies of (i) Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8 ECI, or any successor form thereto, certifying that the
payments received from the Borrower hereunder are effectively connected with
such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States; or
(ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form thereto,
certifying that such Foreign Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces or eliminates the
rate of withholding tax on payments of interest; or (iii) Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, together with a certificate (A) establishing that the payments to the
Foreign Lender from the Borrower hereunder qualify as “portfolio interest”
exempt from U.S. withholding tax under Code section 871(h) or 881(c), and (B)
stating that (1) the Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes of Code section
881(c)(3)(A), or the obligation of
the Borrower hereunder is not, with respect to such Foreign Lender, a loan
agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, within
the meaning of that section; (2) the Foreign Lender is not a 10% shareholder of
the Borrower within the meaning of Code section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B); and
(3) the Foreign Lender is not a controlled foreign corporation that is a related
Person to the Borrower within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(C); or (iv)
such other Internal Revenue Service forms as may be applicable to the Foreign
Lender, including Forms W-8 IMY or W-8 EXP.  Each such Foreign Lender
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such forms on or
before the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (or in the case of a
Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related
participation).  In addition, each such Foreign Lender shall deliver
such forms within ten (10) Business Days after the obsolescence or invalidity of
any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each such Foreign Lender
shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing at
any time that it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any
previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of
certification adopted by the Internal Revenue Service for such
purpose).

    

    Section 2.16. Payments
Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

    

    (a)           The
Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.6,
Section 2.7 or
Section 2.8 or
otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without set-off or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after
such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the
Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except that payments pursuant to
Section 2.13,
Section 2.14 and
Section 10.3
shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof.  If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that
is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such
extension.  All payments hereunder shall be made in
Dollars.

    

    (b)           If
at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees
then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied first, towards payment of
interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto
in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties,
and second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to
such parties.

    

    (c)           If
any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Revolving Loans that would result in such Lender receiving payment of a
greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Revolving Loans and accrued
interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the
Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value)
participations in the Revolving Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary
so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably
in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on
their respective Revolving Loans; provided, that
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded
and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed
to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with
the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Revolving Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to the Borrower or
any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this
paragraph shall apply).  The Borrower consents to the foregoing and
agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any
Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may
exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such participation.

    

    (d)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to
the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders the amount or amounts due.  In such event,
if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then the Lenders severally
agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to the Lenders with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation.

    

    (e)           If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.3(a),
Section 2.16(d),
or Section 10.3(d),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid.

    

    Section 2.17. Mitigation
of Obligations;
Replacement of Lenders.

    

    (a)           If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or
if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15,
then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Revolving Loans hereunder or to assign its
rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or
affiliates, if, in the reasonable credit judgment of such Lender, such
designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable
under Section 2.13 or
Section 2.15, as
the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to
any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to
such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation or
assignment.

    

    (b)           If
(1) any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.13, or
(2) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or
any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.15, or
(3) any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Revolving Loans hereunder
and such failure is not cured within three (3) Business Days, or (4) any
Lender suspends its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans pursuant to
Section 2.12
(provided, that
this clause (4) shall not apply if the Required Lenders have suspended their
respective obligations to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.12)or
(5) any Lender that is not the Administrative Agent does not consent to any
amendment, waiver or consent to any Loan Document for which the consent of the
Required Lenders is obtained and that requires the consent of all Lenders, then
the Borrower may, at its sole cost and expense, upon notice to any such Lender
and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate,
without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions set forth
in Section 10.4(b))
all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee
that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender); provided, that (i)
the Borrower shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such assigning
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding
principal amount of all Revolving Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from the assignee
(in the case of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) and from the
Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (iii) in the case of a claim for
compensation under Section 2.13 or
payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.15,
such assignment will result in a reduction or elimination of such compensation
or payments.  Except in the case of a Lender that defaults in its
obligation to fund Revolving Loans hereunder, a Lender shall not be required to
make any such assignment and delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of an
irrevocable waiver by such Lender, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to
require such assignment and delegation ceases to apply.

    

    Section 2.18. Incremental
Facility.

    

    (a)           Upon
notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Lenders), at any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower
may from time to time request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving
Commitments (each such increase, an “Incremental Revolving
Commitment” and collectively the “Incremental Revolving
Commitments”); provided that
(w) after giving effect to any such addition, the aggregate amount of
Incremental Revolving Commitments that have been added pursuant to this Section
shall not exceed $30,000,000, (x) any such addition or increase shall be in
an amount of not less than $5,000,000, (y) there shall be not more than two
(2) such increases and (z) the Required Lenders shall have consented to any such
addition or increase.

    

    (b)           Any
Loans made in respect of any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall be made by
increasing the Aggregate Revolving Commitments with the same terms (including
pricing) as the existing Revolving Commitments (each, a “Revolving Commitment
Increase”).

    

    (c)           Each
notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested
amount of the Incremental Revolving Commitments.  Revolving Commitment
Increases may be provided by any existing Lender or by any other bank, financial
institution or other investing entity (any such bank, financial institution or
other investing entity, an “Incremental Lender”),
in each case on terms permitted in this Section and otherwise on terms
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, provided that the
Administrative Agent shall have consented (not to be unreasonably withheld) to
such Lender’s or Incremental Lender’s, as the case may be, providing such
Revolving Commitment Increase if such consent would be required under Section 10.4 for
an assignment of Revolving Loans or Revolving Commitments, as applicable, to
such Lender or Incremental Lender, as the case may be.  No Lender
shall be obligated to provide any Revolving Commitment Increases, unless it so
agrees.  Any Incremental Revolving Commitments shall become increases
in a Lender’s Revolving Commitment under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment
(an “Incremental
Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other
Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such
Revolving Commitment Increase, if any, each Incremental Lender, if any, and the
Administrative Agent.  An Incremental Facility Amendment may, with the
consent of the Required Lenders, effect such amendments to any Loan Documents as
may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to
effect the provisions of this Section.  At the time of the sending of
such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall
specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which
shall in no event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of
such notice to the Lenders).  Each Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent within such time period whether or not it agrees to provide
an Incremental Revolving Commitment and, if so, whether by an amount equal to,
greater than, or less than its Pro Rata Share of such requested increase (which
shall be calculated on the basis of the amount of the funded and unfunded
exposure under the Revolving Commitment held by each Lender).  Any
Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined
to provide an Incremental Revolving Commitment.  The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to
each request made hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a
requested increase, the Borrower may, after first offering such increase to the
existing Lenders as provided above, invite Incremental Lenders to become Lenders
pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and its counsel.

    

    (d)           If
any Incremental Revolving Commitments are added in accordance with this Section,
the Administrative Agent shall determine the effective date (the “Incremental Revolving
Commitments Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such addition;
provided, that
any existing Lender electing to participate in the proposed Incremental
Revolving Commitments shall have the right to participate in the proposed
increase or addition on a pro rata basis in accordance with such Lender’s
Revolving Commitment as of the Business Day prior to the Incremental Revolving
Commitments Effective Date.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation of such addition and
the Incremental Revolving Commitments Effective Date.  As a condition
precedent to such addition, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent a certificate of the Borrower dated as of the Incremental Revolving
Commitments Effective Date signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower in
substantially the form of Exhibit 3.1(b)(viii).  On each
Incremental Revolving Commitments Effective Date, each Lender or Incremental
Lender which is providing an Incremental Revolving Commitment (i) shall
become a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and (ii) shall have an Incremental Revolving Commitment which
shall become a “Revolving Commitment” hereunder.

    

    (e)           Upon
each Revolving Commitment Increase pursuant to this Section, if, on the date of
such Revolving Commitment Increase, there are any Revolving Loans outstanding,
the Administrative Agent shall take those steps which it deems, in its sole
discretion, necessary and appropriate to result in each Revolving Lender’s
(including each Incremental Lender) Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving
Loans based on each such Revolving Lender’s Pro Rata Share immediately after
giving effect to such Revolving Commitment Increase, provided that any
prepayment made in connection with the taking of any such steps shall be
accompanied by accrued interest on the Revolving Loans being prepaid and any
costs incurred by any Lender in accordance with
Section 2.14.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby
agree that the minimum borrowing, pro-rata borrowing and pro-rata payment
requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any
transaction that may be effected pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence.

    

    (f)           This
Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 10.2 to the
contrary.

    ARTICLE IV.REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES

    

    The
Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and the Lenders as
follows:

    Section 4.1. Existence;
Power

    .  Each
of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is duly orga­nized and
validly existing as a corporation, bank or other entity, as the case may be,
under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all
requisite power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted, and
(iii) is duly qualified to do business, and is in good standing, in each
jurisdiction where such qualification is required, except where a failure to be
so qualified could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.

    

    Section 4.2. Organizational Power;
Authorization

    .  The
borrowing of Revolving Loans hereunder, and the execution, delivery and
performance by the Borrower of each of the Loan Documents are within the
Borrower’s corporate powers and have been duly authorized by all necessary
corporate, and if required, stockholder, action.  This Agreement has
been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitutes, and each other
Loan Document when executed and delivered by the Borrower will constitute, valid
and binding obligations of the Borrower, en­forceable against it in
accordance with their re­spective terms, except as may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general
principles of equity.

    

    Section 4.3. Governmental Approvals; No
Conflicts

    .  The
execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (a) do not require any consent or approval of,
registration or filing with, or any action by, any Governmental Authority,
except those as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect,
(b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the articles of
incorporation or by-laws of the Borrower or any order of any Governmental
Authority binding upon Borrower, (c) will not violate or result in a
default under any indenture, material agreement or other material instrument
binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective
assets or give rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by
the Borrower or any such Subsidiary and (d) will not result in the creation
or imposition of any Lien on any asset of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except
Liens (if any) created under the Loan Documents.  All necessary
regulatory approvals have been obtained for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to
conduct their respective businesses.

    

    Section 4.4. Financial
Statements

    .  The
Borrower has furnished to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the
Lenders (i) the audited con­solidated balance sheet of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended
prepared by Ernst & Young LLP and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance
sheet of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008, and the related
unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the Fiscal
Quarter and year-to-date period then ending, certified by a Responsible Officer,
subject to year end audit adjustments and the absence of
footnotes.  Such financial statements fairly present, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries as of such date and the consolidated results of op­erations and
cash flows for such period in conformity with GAAP consistently
applied.  Since December 31, 2007, there have been no changes with
respect to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries which have had or could reasonably be expected
to have, singly or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.  In
addition, the Borrower has provided to the Lenders copies of the Call Reports
filed by its Financial Institution Subsidiaries for the period ending June 30,
2008, and copies of the FRY-9LP Report and the FRY-9C Report filed by the
Borrower for the period ending June 30, 2008.  Each of such reports
filed by the Borrower or the Financial Institution Subsidiaries with any
Governmental Authority is true and correct and is in accordance with the
respective books of account and records of the Borrower and the Financial
Institution Subsidiaries, and has been prepared in accordance with applicable
banking regulations, rules and guidelines on a basis consistent with prior
periods, and fairly and accurately presents, in all material respects, the
financial condition of the Borrower and the Financial Institution Subsidiaries
and their respective assets and liabilities and the results of their respective
operations as of such date.

    

    Section 4.5. Litigation
Matters and
Enforcement Actions

    .  No
litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitra­tors or
Governmental Authorities is pending against, or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries (i) as to which there is a reasonable possibility of an
adverse determination that could reasonably be expected to have, either
individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) which
in any manner draws into question the validity or enforceability of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document.  None of the Borrower, or any of
the Financial Institution Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers or
directors, is now operating under any currently effective written restrictions
agreed to by the Borrower or any of the Financial Institution Subsidiaries, or
agreements, memoranda, or written commitments by the Borrower or any of the
Financial Institution Subsidiaries (other than restrictions of general
application) imposed or required by any Governmental Authority nor are any such
restrictions threatened or agreements, memoranda or commitments being sought by
any Governmental Authority.

    

    Section 4.6. Compliance with Laws and
Agreements

    .  The
Borrower and each Subsidiary is in compliance with all applicable laws
(including without limitation all Environmental Laws and all federal and state
banking statutes) and all rules, regulations (including without limitation all
applicable federal and state banking regulations) and orders of any Governmental
Authority, except where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Neither the Borrower nor any of
the Financial Institution Subsidiaries is in material default in the
performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the terms, obligations,
covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any indenture or other
agreement creating, evidencing or securing indebtedness of any kind or pursuant
to which any such indebtedness is issued, or other agreement or instrument to
which the Borrower or any Financial Institution Subsidiary is a party or by
which the Borrower or any such Financial Institution Subsidiary or any of their
respective properties may be bound or affected.

    

    Section 4.7. Investment Company
Act

    .  Neither
the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company”, as defined
in, or subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.

    

    Section 4.8. Taxes

    .  The
Borrower and its Subsidiaries have timely filed or caused to be filed all
Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns that are
re­quired to be filed by them, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and
payable on such returns or on any assessments made against it or its property
and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property
by any Governmental Authority, except (i) to the extent the failure to do

market value of the assets of such Plan, and the present value of all
accumulated benefit obligations of all underfunded Plans (based on the
assumptions used for purposes of Statement of Financial Standards No. 87) did

Effect.  None of the reports (including without limitation all reports
that the Borrower is required to file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission), financial statements, certificates or other information furnished
by or on behalf of the Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
connection with the negotiation or syndication of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented
by any other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of
fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements

corporate restriction, that is of a type that the Borrower is required to file
as an exhibit to its Form 10-K annual reports or otherwise describe
therein.

consolidated balance sheet of the Borrower referred to in Section 4.4 or
purported to have been acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary after said

leases that individually or in the aggregate are material to the business or
operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are valid and subsisting and are
in full force.

    

    (b)           Each
of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, or is licensed, or otherwise has the
right, to use, all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights
and other intellectual property material to its business, and the use thereof by
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries does not infringe in any material respect on
the rights of any other Person.

properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries are insured with financially
sound and reputable insurance companies which are not Affiliates of the

owner of any Collateral as debtor is on file in any jurisdiction in which any of
the Collateral is located or in which the Borrower or any such predecessor owner
is organized or has its principal place of business, and (ii) the Borrower has
not authorized any currently effective financing statement or any currently
effective security agreement or other record authorizing any secured party
thereunder to file any such financing statement covering any
Collateral.

substantially all of the stock of any of its Subsidiaries or (iii) liquidate
or dissolve; provided, that if at the time thereof
and immediately after giving effect thereto on a pro forma basis, no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred, (A) the Borrower or any Subsidiary
may merge with a Person, provided that (1) if the Borrower is a party to
such merger, the Borrower shall be the surviving Person, (2) if a Subsidiary is
a party to such merger, such Subsidiary shall be the surviving Person (if two

in connection therewith, the Borrower shall be allowed to retire, cancel and
reissue equity interests in such Financial Institution Subsidiary; provided further,
however, that
if The PrivateBank and Trust Company is merged into or consolidated with any
other Financial Institution Subsidiary, The PrivateBank and Trust Company shall
be the surviving entity and the Borrower shall not retire, cancel or reissue the
equity interests of The PrivateBank and Trust Company.

    

    (c)           The
Borrower will not, and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to, engage to any
material extent in any business other than businesses of the type conducted by

long as no Default or Event of Default then exists or would result (on a pro
forma basis) from the making of such Restricted Payment; provided, further, however,  that
any Subsidiary may make Restricted Payments to the Borrower at any
time.

    

    Section 7.5. Restrictive
Agreements

misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice

any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any
Loan Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or
genuineness of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document,
or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or
elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

    

    Section 9.3. Lack of Reliance on the
Administrative Agent

    .  Each
of the Lenders acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each of the Lenders also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in
taking or not taking of any action under or based on this Agreement, any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

    

    Section 9.4. Certain Rights of the
Administrative Agent

    .  If
the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders
with re­spect to any action or ac­tions (including the failure to act)
in connection with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
refrain from such act or taking such act, unless and until it shall have
received instructions from such Lend­ers; and the Administrative Agent shall
not incur liability to any Person by rea­son of so
refraining.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any
right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the
Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in
ac­cordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by
the terms of this Agreement.

    

    Section 9.5. Reliance by Administrative
Agent

    .  The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.  The
Administrative Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur
any liability for relying thereon.  The Administrative Agent may
consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower),
indepen­dent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

    

    Section 9.6. The Administrative Agent in
its Individual Capacity

    .  The
bank serving as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers
under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though
it were not the Administrative Agent; and the terms “Lenders”, “Required
Lenders”, “holders of Notes”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context
clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity.  The bank acting as the Administrative Agent and its
Affiliates may accept de­posits from, lend money to, and generally engage in
any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

    

    Section 9.7. Successor
Administrative Agent.

    

    (a)           The
Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days prior written
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, subject to the approval by the Borrower provided that no
Default or Event of Default shall exist at such time.  If no
suc­cessor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have
accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative
Agent gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may,
on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall
be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or
any state thereof or a bank which maintains an office in the United
States.

    

    (b)           Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor Administrative Agent shall there­upon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.  If within 30 days after written notice is given of
the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Section 9.7 no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted
such appointment, then on such 30th day
(i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective,
(ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from
its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required
Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent
under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided above.  After any
retir­ing Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provi­sions
of this Article IX shall
continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent and its
representatives and agents in respect of any ac­tions taken or not taken by
any of them while it was serving as the Administrative Agent.

    

    Section 9.8. Collateral
Matters.

    

    (a)           The
Administrative Agent is authorized on behalf of all of the Lenders, without the
necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time
prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral
or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the
Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan
Documents.

    

    (b)           The
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or to
any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the
Borrower or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the
Administrative Agent herein in any Loan Document have been properly or
sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are
entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at
all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of
the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative
Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and
agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related
thereto, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate,
in its sole discretion, given the Administrative Agent’s own interest in the
Collateral as one of the Lenders and that the Administrative Agent shall have no
duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent found in a
final non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

              Any

      hereto.  All such notices and other communications shall, when
      transmitted by overnight delivery, or faxed, be effective when delivered
      for overnight (next-day) delivery, or transmitted in legible form by
      facsimile machine, respectively, or if mailed, upon the third Business Day
      after the date deposited into the mails or if delivered, upon delivery;
      provided,
      that notices delivered to the Administrative Agent shall not be effective
      until actually received by the Administrative Agent at its address
      specified in this Section 10.1.

            

    

    

    (b)           Any
agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders herein to receive certain
notices by telephone or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at the
request of the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a
Person authorized by the Borrower to give such notice, and the Administrative
Agent shall not have any liability to the Borrower or other Person on account of
any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in
reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice.  The obligation of
the Borrower to repay the Revolving Loans and all other Obligations hereunder
shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any
telephonic or facsimile notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders to be contained in any such telephonic or
facsimile notice.

    

    Section 10.2. Waiver;
Amendments.

    

    (a)           No
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any
right or power hereunder or any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing
between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall oper­ate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or
power or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or
power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exer­cise of
any other right or power hereunder or thereunder.  The rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclu­sive of any rights or
remedies provided by law.  No waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower
therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by
paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making
of a Revolving Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default or Event
of Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may
have had notice or knowledge of such Default or Event of Default at the
time.

    

    (b)           No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Borrower and the Required Lenders, or the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
with the consent of the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the spe­cific purpose for
which given; provided, that no
amendment or waiver shall: (i) increase the Revolving Commitment of any
Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the
principal amount of any Revolving Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon,
or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender
affected thereby, (iii) extend the Commitment Termination Date or otherwise
postpone the date fixed for any payment of any princi­pal of, or interest
on, any Revolving Loan or interest thereon or any fees hereunder or reduce the
amount of, waive, forgive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled
date for the termination or reduction of any Revolving Commitment, without the
written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.16(b)
or Section 2.16(c)
in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby,
without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the
provisions of this Section 10.2 or
the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying
the number or percentage of Lenders which are re­quired to waive, amend or
modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
hereunder, without the consent of each Lender; (vi) release any guarantor,
if any, or limit the liability of any such guarantor under any guaranty
agreement; (vii) release all or substantially all Collateral (but in no
event will the Administrative Agent release any of the stock of The Private Bank
and Trust Company that has been pledged to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the Lenders without the consent of each Lender) or agree to
subordinate any Lien in the Collateral to any other creditor of the Borrower or
any Subsidiary without the written consent of each Lender; provided further,
that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights,
duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent without the prior written
consent of such Person.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, any provision
of this Agreement may be amended by an agreement in writing entered into by the
Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent if (i) by the
terms of such agreement the Revolving Commitment of each Lender not consenting
to the amendment provided for therein shall terminate (but such Lender shall
continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12,
Section 2.13,
Section 2.14 and
Section 10.3)
upon the effectiveness of such amendment and (ii) at the time such
amendment becomes effective, each Lender not consenting thereto receives payment
in full principal of and interest accrued on each Revolving Loan made by it and
all other amounts owing to it or accrued for its account under this Agreement
and is released from its obligations hereunder.  Notwithstanding
anything herein or otherwise to the contrary, any Event of Default occurring
hereunder shall continue to exist (and shall be deemed to be continuing) until
such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the
terms of this Section notwithstanding (i) any attempted cure or other action
taken by the Borrower or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such
Event of Default or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender prior to or subsequent to the occurrence of
such Event of Default (other than the granting of a waiver in writing in
accordance with the terms of this Section).

    

    Section 10.3. Expenses;
Indemnification.

    

    (a)           The
Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of
the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel and the allocated
cost of inside counsel for the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates) in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein,
the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments,
modifications or waivers thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be consummated), and
(ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel and the
allocated cost of inside counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in
connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in
connection with the Revolving Loans made hereunder, including all such
out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Revolving Loans.

    

    (b)           The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender and each
officer, director, employee, agents, advisors and Affiliates of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender (each, an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all costs, losses,
liabilities, claims, damages and related expenses, including the reasonable
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, which may be
incurred by any Indemnitee, or asserted against any Indemnitee by the Borrower
or any third Person, arising out of, in connection with or as a result of
(i) the execution or delivery of any this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations
hereunder or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby,
(ii) any Revolving Loan or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds
therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Materials on or from any property owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or
(iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether brought by the Borrower or
any third Person and whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided, that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; provided, further, that each
Indemnitee shall have the obligation to promptly notify the Borrower of any
claim, expense, obligation or liability for which such Indemnitee will seek
indemnification from the Borrower hereunder, but the failure to give such notice
shall not nullify or abrogate the Borrower’s obligations under this
Section.

    

    (c)           The
Borrower shall pay, and hold the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders
harmless from and against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary,
and other similar taxes with re­spect to this Agreement and any other Loan
Documents, any Collateral described therein, or any payments due thereunder, and
save the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against
any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission
by the Borrower to pay such taxes.

    

    (d)           To
the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid to the
Administrative Agent under clauses (a), (b) or (c) hereof, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share
(determined as of the time that the unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought) such unpaid amount; provided, that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified payment, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

    

    (e)           To
the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and
hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for
special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to actual or
direct damages) arising out of, in connection with or as a result of, this
Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions
contemplated therein, any Revolving Loan or the use of proceeds
thereof.

    

    (f)           All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written
demand therefor.

    

    Section 10.4. Successors
and Assigns.

    

    (a)           The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the
Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder without the
prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer
by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void).

    

    (b)           Any
Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
(including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Revolving Loans
at the time owing to it); provided, that
(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of
a  Lender or to a fund managed by a Lender or an Affiliate of a
Lender, each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent must give their prior
written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed),
provided, that
the consent of the Borrower shall not be required during the existence of a
Default or an Event of Default, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to
a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or to a fund managed by a Lender or an
Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire amount of the assigning
Lender’s Revolving Commitment hereunder or an assignment while
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the amount of the Revolving
Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined
as of the date the assignment and acceptance agreement with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than
$2,500,000 (unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall otherwise
consent), (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a
proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) the assigning Lender and
the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an assignment
and acceptance agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, together with a processing and recordation fee payable by the
assigning Lender or the assignee (as determined between such Persons) in an
amount equal to $3,500 and (v) such
assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver a duly completed Administrative
Questionnaire to the Administrative Agent; provided, that any
consent of the Borrower otherwise required hereunder shall not be required if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Upon the execution
and delivery of the such assignment and acceptance agreement and payment by such
assignee to the assigning Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed
between such Persons, such assignee shall become a party to this Agreement and
any other Loan Documents to which such assigning Lender is a party and, to the
extent of such interest assigned by such assignment and acceptance agreement,
shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a
corresponding extent (and, in the case of an assignment and acceptance agreement
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.12,
Section 2.13,
Section 2.14 and
Section 10.3).  Upon
the consummation of any such assignment hereunder, the assigning Lender, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements to
have new promissory notes issued if so requested by either or both the assigning
Lender or the assignee.  Any assignment or other transfer by a Lender
that does not fully comply with the terms of this clause (b) shall be
treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale of a participation pursuant to
clause (c) below.

    

    (c)           Each
Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities
(a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance
of its obligations hereun­der and for such Participant’s compliance with the
terms of Section 10.11 of
this Agreement, and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Any
agreement between such Lender and the Participant with respect to such
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and
responsibility to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the
right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; provided, that such
participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of
this Agreement described in the first proviso of Section 10.2(b)
that affects the Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits Section 2.12,
Section 2.13 and
Section 2.14 to
the same extent as if it were a Lender hereunder and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b); provided, that no
Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.14
than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant unless the sale of such participation is
made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

    

    (d)           The
Lenders may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
por­tion of its rights under this Agreement and the Revolving Credit Note to
secure its obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank without complying with this
Section; provided, that no
such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.

    

    Section 10.5. Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

    

    (a)           THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES
THEREOF) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

    

    (b)           The
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Federal and/or state court
located in the State of New York and any appellate court from any thereof, in
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state
court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Federal
court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any
such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
law.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
affect any right that the Lenders may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the
Borrower or its properties in the courts that have jurisdiction over the
Borrower.

    

    (c)           The
Borrower ir­­revocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action
or proceeding described in paragraph (b) of this Section and brought in any
state or federal court located in the State of New York and referred to in
paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an
inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such
court.

    

    (d)           Each
party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process in the
manner provided for notices in Section 10.1.  Nothing
in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document will affect the right of any
party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

    

    Section 10.6. WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL

    .  EACH
PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR
ANY OTHER THEORY).

    

    Section 10.7. Right of
Setoff

    .  In
addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law and not by
way of limitation of any such rights, each Lender shall have the right, at any
time or from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, without prior notice to the Borrower, any such notice being
expressly waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, to
set off and apply against all deposits (general or special, time or demand,
provisional or final) of the Borrower at any time held or other obligations at
any time owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the
Borrower against any and all Obligations owed to such Lender under this
Agreement, irrespective of whether such Lender shall have made demand hereunder
and although such Obligations may be unmatured.  Each Lender agrees
promptly to notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower after any such
set-off and any application made by such Lender; provided, that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and
application.

    

    Section 10.8. Counterparts;
Integration

    .  This
Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any
number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any
separate letter agreement(s) relating to any fees payable to the Administrative
Agent constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto
regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings, oral or written, regarding such subject
matters.

    Section 10.10. Severability

    .  Any
provision of this Agreement ­or any other Loan Document held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability
without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof or thereof; and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability
of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

or relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and their respective businesses,
operations, finances or strategies (“Confidential

representatives, employees or agents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Confidential Information may be disclosed (i) to any officer, director,
agent, affiliate or representative of the Administrative Agent or any such
Lender, including without limitation accountants, legal counsel and other

Person shall agree to be bound by the confidentiality provisions set forth in
this Section with respect to such information, (ii) to the extent required
by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or authority,
(iv) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy
hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the
enforcement of rights hereunder, (v) subject to provisions substantially
similar to this Section 10.11,
to any actual or prospective assignee or Participant, or (vi) with the
prior written consent of the Borrower.  Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of any information as provided for in this
Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so
if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the
confidentiality of such information as such Person would accord its own
confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of
care.

    

    Section 10.12. Interest Rate
Limitation

    .  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to
any Revolving Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which may
be treated as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the
“Charges”),
shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum
Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved
by a Lender holding such Revolving Loan in accordance with applicable law, the
rate of interest payable in respect of such Revolving Loan hereunder, together
with all Charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum
Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been
payable in respect of such Revolving Loan but were not payable as a result of
the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and
Charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Revolving Loans or periods
shall be increased (but not above the Maximum Rate therefor) until such
cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to
the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender.

    

    Section 10.13. Waiver of Effect of
Corporate Seal

    .  The
Borrower represents and warrants that it is not required to affix its corporate
seal to this Agreement or any other Loan Document pursuant to any requirement of
law or regulation, agrees that this Agreement is delivered by Borrower under
seal and waives any shortening of the statute of limitations that may result
from not affixing the corporate seal to this Agreement or such other Loan
Documents.

    

    Section 10.14. Patriot
Act

    .  The
Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant
to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed
into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower,
which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other
information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot
Act.  The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
provide to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such
other actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in
maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

    

    Section 10.15. Bookrunner and Lead
Arrangers

    .  Neither
the Joint Lead Arrangers nor the Sole Bookrunner listed on the cover page of

Stock to the extent hereinafter provided.

     

    4.           ADDITIONAL
COLLATERAL

     

    4.1.           Delivery

become entitled to receive or shall receive any interest, cash dividends, cash

promptly deliver the same or any Certificates therefor forthwith to
Administrative Agent or its agent in the exact form received, with the
endorsement of Pledgor, when necessary, or appropriate undated assignments

Administrative Agent or its agent subject to the terms hereof.

    5.           REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF PLEDGOR.  To induce Administrative Agent to

to enter into the Credit Agreement, Pledgor hereby re-makes the representations
and warranties set forth in Article IV of the
Credit Agreement and, in addition, makes the following representations and
warranties to Administrative Agent and Lenders:

     

    5.1.           Pledgor
owns beneficially and of record all of the issued and outstanding shares of
capital stock of Bank Subsidiary and has good and marketable title to all of the
Pledged Stock.  Schedule A attached hereto sets forth all of the
issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Bank Subsidiary as of the
Closing Date.

     

    5.2.           Pledgor
holds the Pledged Stock free and clear of all Liens, charges, encumbrances,
security interests, options, voting trusts and restrictions of every kind and
nature whatsoever except only the Liens and security interests created by this
Pledge Agreement or otherwise in favor of Administrative Agent.

     

    5.3.           Each
security which is a part of the Pledged Stock has been duly authorized and
validly issued and is fully paid and nonassessable.

     

    5.4.           This
Pledge Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Pledgor.

     

    5.5.           The
pledge, collateral assignment and delivery of the Pledged Stock pursuant to this
Pledge Agreement creates in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of
Lenders a valid first Lien and first and senior security interest in the Pledged
Stock, which Lien and security interest are perfected once either (a) the
Certificates are delivered to the Administrative Agent or (b) a financing
statement properly describing the Pledged Stock as collateral is filed with the
secretary of state of the state in which Pledgor is organized.

     

    6.           PLEDGOR’S
COVENANTS.

     

    6.1.           Pledgor
covenants and agrees that it will defend the Lien of Administrative Agent and
Lenders in and to the Pledged Stock against the claims and demands of all
persons whomsoever.

     

    6.2.           Pledgor
covenants and agrees that it will not sell, convey or otherwise dispose of any
of the Pledged Stock, or create, incur or permit to exist any pledge, Lien,
mortgage, hypothecation, security interest, charge, option or any other
encumbrance or restriction with respect to any of the Pledged Stock, or any
interest therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the Liens and security
interests created by this Pledge Agreement.

     

    6.3.           Pledgor
covenants and agrees that it will not consent to the issuance of: (i) any
additional shares of capital stock of Subsidiary Bank unless such shares are
pledged and the Certificates therefor delivered to Administrative Agent,
simultaneously with the issuance thereof, together with appropriate undated
assignments separate from the Certificates duly executed in blank; and
(ii) any options by Subsidiary Bank obligating Subsidiary Bank to issue
additional shares of capital stock of any class of Subsidiary Bank.

     

    6.4.           At
any time from time to time, upon the written request of Administrative Agent,
and at the sole expense of Pledgor, Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will
promptly and duly execute and deliver such further instruments and documents and
take such further actions as Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the
purposes of obtaining or preserving the full benefits of this Pledge Agreement
and of the rights and powers herein granted, including, without limitation, the
filing of UCC-1 financing statements in favor of Administrative Agent with
respect to the Pledged Stock and the proceeds thereof, in form satisfactory to
Administrative Agent and with the Secretary of State of any state as
Administrative Agent may determine.  If any amount payable under or in
connection with any of the Pledged Stock shall be or become evidenced by any
promissory note, other instrument or chattel paper, such note, instrument or
chattel paper shall be immediately delivered to Administrative Agent, duly
endorsed in a manner satisfactory to Administrative Agent, to be held as Pledged
Stock pursuant to this Pledge Agreement.

     

    6.5.           Pledgor
covenants and agrees to pay, and to save Administrative Agent and Lenders
harmless from any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any
delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be
payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Pledged Stock or
in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Pledge
Agreement.

     

    7.           RIGHTS
AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT.

     

    7.1.           Upon
the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default,
Administrative Agent may do any one or more of the following: (a) declare
the Obligations Secured Hereby to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon such
Obligations Secured Hereby shall become immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind; and/or
(b) proceed to protect and enforce rights granted under this Pledge
Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents through other
appropriate proceedings, and Administrative Agent shall have, without
limitation, all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable law,
including, without limitation, the rights and remedies of a secured party under
the New York Uniform Commercial Code (the “UCC”) and, in addition
thereto, Administrative Agent shall be entitled, at Administrative Agent’s
option, to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged
Stock as it may determine, without liability therefor, but Administrative Agent
shall not have any duty to exercise any voting and corporate rights in respect
of the Pledged Stock and shall not be responsible or liable to Pledgor or any
other person for any failure to do so or delay in so doing.

     

    7.2.           Without
limiting the generality of any of the foregoing, if any Event of Default
hereunder or under the Credit Agreement shall occur, Administrative Agent shall
have the right to sell the Pledged Stock, or any part thereof, at public or
private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange for cash,
upon credit or for future delivery, and at such price or prices as
Administrative Agent may deem best, and Administrative Agent may be the
purchaser of any or all of the Pledged Stock so sold and thereafter
Administrative Agent or any other purchaser shall hold the same free from any
right or claim of whatsoever kind.  Administrative Agent is
authorized, at any such sale, if it deems it advisable so to do, to restrict the
number of prospective bidders or purchasers to persons who will represent and
agree that they are purchasing for their own account, for investment, and not
with a view to the distribution or resale of the Pledged Stock and may otherwise
require that such sale be conducted subject to restrictions as to such other
matters as Administrative Agent may deem necessary in order that such sale may
be effected in such manner as to comply with all applicable state and federal
securities laws.  Upon any such sale, Administrative Agent shall have
the right to deliver, assign and transfer to the purchaser thereof the Pledged
Stock so sold.

     

    7.3.           Each
purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold, absolutely free from
any claim or right of whatsoever kind, including any equity or right of
redemption of Pledgor, who hereby specifically waives all rights of redemption,
stay or appraisal which it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now
existing or hereafter adopted.  Administrative Agent shall give
Pledgor not less than ten days’ written notice of its intention to make any such
public or private sale or at any broker’s board or on any securities exchange
(with such notice to state the time and place of such sale), and Pledgor agrees
that such notice shall be deemed reasonable.

     

    7.4.           Any
such public sale shall be held at such time or times within the ordinary
business hours and at such place or places as Administrative Agent may fix in
the notice of such sale.  At any sale, the Pledged Stock may be sold
in one lot as an entirety or in parts, as Administrative Agent may
determine.  Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any
sale pursuant to any such notice.  Administrative Agent may, without
notice or publication, adjourn any sale, and such sale may be made at any time
or place to which the same may be so adjourned.  In case of any sale
of all or any part of the Pledged Stock on credit or for future delivery, the
Pledged Stock so sold may be retained by Administrative Agent until the selling
price is paid by the purchaser thereof, but Administrative Agent shall not incur
any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for
the Pledged Stock so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Pledged Stock
may again be sold upon like notice.

     

    7.5.           Administrative
Agent, instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, may
proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Pledge
Agreement and sell the Pledged Stock, or any portion thereof, under a judgment
or decree of a court or courts of competent jurisdiction.

     

    7.6.           On
any sale of the Pledged Stock, Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to
comply with any limitation or restriction in connection with such sale that it
may be advised by counsel is necessary in order to avoid any violation of
applicable law or in order to obtain any required approval of the purchaser or
purchasers by any third party or any Governmental Authority or officer or court,
including, without limitation, all limitations and restrictions imposed by
federal and state banking laws and regulations.  Compliance with the
foregoing sentence shall result in such sale or disposition being considered or
deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.

     

    7.7.           In
furtherance of the exercise by Administrative Agent of the rights and remedies
granted to it hereunder, Pledgor agrees that, upon request of Administrative
Agent and at the expense of Pledgor, it will use its Best Efforts to obtain all
third party and governmental approvals necessary for or incidental to the
exercise of remedies by Administrative Agent with respect to the Pledged Stock
or any part thereof, including, without limitation, applicable approvals from
the FRB, the FDIC and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional
Regulation.

     

    8.           REGISTRATION
RIGHTS; PRIVATE SALES.

     

    8.1.           If
Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of
the Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 7
hereof, and if in the opinion of Administrative Agent it is necessary or
advisable to have the Pledged Stock, or that portion thereof to be sold,
registered under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
“Securities Act”),
Pledgor will cause the issuer of the Pledged Stock to (a) execute and
deliver, and cause to be done all such other acts, as may be, in the opinion of
Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to register the Pledged Stock, or
that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act,
(b) use its Best Efforts to cause the registration statement relating
thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one (1) year
from the date of the first public offering of the Pledged Stock, or that portion
thereof to be sold, and (c) make all amendments thereto and/or to the
related prospectus which, in the opinion of Administrative Agent, are necessary
or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and
the rules and regulations of the SEC applicable thereto.  Pledgor
agrees to cause such issuer to comply with the provisions of the securities or
‘Blue Sky’ laws of any and all jurisdictions which Administrative Agent shall
designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable,
an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the
provisions of Section 11(a) of
the Securities Act.

     

    8.2.           Pledgor
hereby acknowledges that, notwithstanding that a higher price might be obtained
for the Pledged Stock at a public sale than at a private sale or sales, the
making of a public sale of the Pledged Stock may be subject to registration
requirements and other legal restrictions compliance with which could require
such actions on the part of Pledgor, could entail such expenses and could
subject Administrative Agent and any underwriter through whom the Pledged Stock
may be sold and any controlling Person of any thereof to such liabilities as
would make the making of a public sale of the Pledged Stock
impractical.  Accordingly, Pledgor hereby agrees that private sales
made by Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of Section 7 hereof
may be at prices and on other terms less favorable to the seller than if the
Pledged Stock were sold at public sale, that Administrative Agent shall not have
any obligation to take any steps in order to permit the Pledged Stock to be sold
at a public sale complying with the requirements of federal and state securities
and similar laws, and that such sale shall not be deemed to be made in a
commercially unreasonable manner solely because of its nature as a private
sale.

     

    8.3.           Pledgor
further agrees to use its Best Efforts to do or cause to be done all such other
acts as may be necessary to make any sale or sales of all or any portion of the
Pledged Stock pursuant to Section 7 and
this Section 8 valid
and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable requirements of
law.  Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants
contained in Section 7 and
this Section 8 will
cause irreparable injury to Administrative Agent and Lenders, that
Administrative Agent and Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of
such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in
Section 7
of this Section 8 shall
be specifically enforceable against Pledgor, and Pledgor hereby waives and
agrees not to assert any defenses to the granting of equitable relief (such as,
without limitation, any defense that Administrative Agent or Lenders have an
adequate remedy at law or that Administrative Agent or Lenders will not be
irreparably injured) in any action for specific performance of such
covenants.

     

    9.           LIMITATION
ON DUTIES REGARDING PLEDGED STOCK.  Administrative Agent’s sole
duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the
Pledged Stock in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the UCC or
otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Administrative Agent
deals with similar securities and property for its own account.  None
of Administrative Agent, Lenders or any of their respective directors, officers,
employees or agents shall be liable for any good faith failure to demand,
collect or realize upon any of the Pledged Stock or for any delay in doing so or
shall be under any obligation to see or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Stock
or for any good faith delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to see
or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Stock upon the request of Pledgor or
otherwise.

     

    10.           POWERS
COUPLED WITH AN INTEREST.  All authorizations and agencies
herein contained with respect to the Pledged Stock are irrevocable and powers
coupled with an interest.

     

    11.           INDEMNIFICATION.  Pledgor
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender (to
the full extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands,
losses, judgments, liabilities for penalties and excise taxes and other damages
of whatever nature, and to reimburse Administrative Agent and each Lender for
all costs and expenses, including reasonable legal fees and disbursements,
growing out of or resulting from the Pledged Stock or this Pledge Agreement or
the administration and enforcement of this Pledge Agreement or exercise of any
right or remedy granted to Administrative Agent hereunder except with respect to
such claims, demands, losses, judgments, liabilities for penalties and excise
taxes and other damages of whatever nature arising solely from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent, but including without
limitation, any tax liability incurred by Administrative Agent or any of its
affiliates as a result of the exercise by Administrative Agent of any of its
rights hereunder.  In no event shall Administrative Agent or any
Lender be liable to Pledgor for any action taken by Administrative Agent that is
permitted under this Pledge Agreement other than to account for proceeds of the
Pledged Stock actually received by Administrative Agent.

     

    12.           DISTRIBUTION
OF PLEDGED STOCK.  Upon enforcement of this Pledge Agreement
following the occurrence of an Event of Default, the proceeds of the Pledged
Stock shall be applied to the Obligations Secured Hereby as follows: first, to Administrative
Agent’s reasonable costs and expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the
enforcement of the Obligations Secured Hereby, including, without limitation,
any and all reasonable costs incurred by it in connection with the sale or
disposition of any Pledged Stock and all amounts under Section 10.3(a)
of the Credit Agreement; second, to Lenders or
Administrative Agent for any fees under the Credit Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents then due and payable; third, to Lenders pro rata on
the basis of their respective unpaid principal amounts outstanding under the
Revolving Loans, toward the payment of any unpaid interest which may have
accrued on the Revolving Loans; fourth, to Lenders pro rata
based on the unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Loans then outstanding
until all Revolving Loans have been paid in full (and, for purposes of this
clause, obligations under Hedging Transactions permitted under the Credit
Agreement with Lenders (or their Affiliates) or any of them shall be paid on a
pro rata basis with the Revolving Loans); fifth, to Lenders pro rata on
the basis of their respective unpaid amounts, to the payment of any other unpaid
Obligations; and sixth,
to Pledgor or as otherwise required by law.  In the event such monies
shall be insufficient to pay all of the Obligations Secured Hereby, Pledgor
shall be liable to Administrative Agent and Lenders for any deficiency
therein.

     

    13.           NO
WAIVER; CUMULATIVE REMEDIES.  Administrative Agent shall not by
any act, delay, omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any of its rights
or remedies hereunder and no waiver shall be valid unless in writing, signed by
Administrative Agent, and then such waiver shall be valid to the extent therein
set forth.  A waiver by Administrative Agent of any right or remedy
hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or
remedy which Administrative Agent would otherwise have on any future
occasion.  No failure to exercise or any delay in exercising on the
part of Administrative Agent any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any
right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The
rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights or remedies provided by law.

     

    14.           SEVERABILITY
OF PROVISIONS.  The provisions of this Pledge Agreement are
severable, and if any clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or
unenforceable in whole or in part, then such invalidity or unenforceability
shall attach only to such clause or provision or part thereof and shall not in
any manner affect any other clause or provision in this Pledge
Agreement.

     

    15.           AMENDMENTS;
BINDING EFFECT.

     

    15.1.                      None
of the terms or provisions of this Pledge Agreement may be altered, modified or
amended except by an instrument in writing, duly executed by each of the parties
hereto.

     

    15.2.                      This
Pledge Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Pledgor, Administrative Agent,
Lenders and the Affiliates of Administrative Agent and Lenders, and no other
person shall be deemed to have any privity of contract hereunder nor any right
to rely hereon to any extent or for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall any other
person have any right of action of any kind hereon or be deemed to be a third
party beneficiary hereunder.

     

    16.           NOTICES.  All
notices, consents, requests, demands and other communications hereunder shall be
in writing and shall be given in accordance with Section 10.1 of
the Credit Agreement.

     

    17.           HEADINGS.  The
descriptive headings hereunder used are for convenience only and shall not be
deemed to limit or otherwise effect the construction of any provision
hereof.

     

    18.           COUNTERPART
EXECUTION.  This Pledge Agreement may be executed in several
counterparts each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall
together constitute one and the same agreement.

     

    19.           GOVERNING
LAW; JURISDICTION; CONSENT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS.

     

    (a)           THIS
PLEDGE AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE
LAW (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF) OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.

    

    (b)           Pledgor
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to
the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Federal and/or state court located in the
State of New York and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Pledge Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, or for recognition or enforcement of any
judgment, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard
and determined in such New York state court or, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, such Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees
that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and
may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other
manner provided by law.  Nothing in this Pledge Agreement shall affect
any right that Administrative Agent or Lenders may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Pledge Agreement against Pledgor or its
properties in the courts that have jurisdiction over Pledgor.

    

    (c)           Pledgor
irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it may now or
hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding
described in paragraph (b) of this Section and brought in any state or
federal court located in the State of New York referred to in paragraph (b) of
this Section.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum
to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

    

    (d)           Each
party to this Pledge Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process in
the manner provided for notices in Section 10.1 of
the Credit Agreement.  Nothing in this Pledge Agreement will affect
the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by
law.

    

    20.           IRREVOCABLE
AUTHORIZATION AND INSTRUCTION TO ISSUERS.  Pledgor hereby
authorizes and instructs Bank Subsidiary to comply with any instruction received
by it from Administrative Agent in writing that (a) states that an Event of
Default has occurred and (b) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of
this Pledge Agreement, without any other or further instructions from Pledgor,
and Pledgor agrees that the issuer shall be fully protected in so
complying.

     

    21.           WAIVER
OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT
OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY).

Commitment

    .  Subject
to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to
make a single term loan (each, a “Term Loan”) to the
Borrower on the Closing Date in a principal amount not to exceed the Commitment
of such Lender; provided, that if for
any reason the full amount of such Lender’s Commitment is not fully drawn on the
Closing Date, the undrawn portion thereof shall automatically be
cancelled.

    

    Section 2.2. [Intentionally
Deleted]

    .

    

    Section 2.3. Procedure for Borrowing Term
Loans

    .  The
execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Borrower and the satisfaction of
all conditions precedent pursuant to Section 3.1 and
Section 3.2
shall be deemed to constitute the Borrower’s request to borrow the Term Loans on
the Closing Date.

    

    Section 2.4. [Intentionally
Deleted]

    

    Section 2.5. Funding
of Borrowings.

    

    (a)           Each
Lender will make available each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed
date thereof by wire transfer in immediately available funds by 11:00 a.m. to
the Administrative Agent at the Payment Office.  The Administrative
Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the
amounts that it receives, in like funds by the close of business on such
proposed date, to an account maintained by the Borrower with the Administrative
Agent or at the Borrower’s option, by effecting a wire transfer of such amounts
to an account designated by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in writing
for such purpose.

    

    (b)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to 5:00
p.m. one (1) Business Day prior to the date of a Borrowing that such Lender will
not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
amount available to the Administrative Agent on such date, and the
Administrative Agent, in reliance on such assumption, may make available to the
Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If such corresponding
amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender
on the date of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with
interest at the Federal Funds Rate for up to two (2) days and thereafter at the
rate specified for such Borrowing.  If such Lender does not pay such
corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower
shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent
together with interest at the rate specified for such
Borrowing.  Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to relieve
any Lender from its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing
hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any
Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.

    

    (c)           All
Borrowings shall be made by the Lenders on the basis of their respective Pro
Rata Shares.  No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any
other Lender in its obligations hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to
make its Loans provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of
any other Lender to make its Loans hereunder.

    

    Section 2.6. Termination
of Commitments.

      Subject
to Section 2.20,
The Commitments shall terminate on the Closing Date upon the making of the Term
Loans.

    

    Section 2.7. Repayment
and Prepayments of Loans.

    

    (a)           The
aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Loans shall be due and payable
(together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) on the Maturity
Date.  All payments in respect of the Loans shall be applied first to
accrued interest and the balance, if any, to principal.  Once repaid,
none of the Loans may be reborrowed.

    

    (b)           The
Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time, subject to the
approval of the FDIC, to prepay any Borrowing, in whole or in part, without
premium or penalty, by giving irrevocable written notice to the Administrative
Agent no later than five (5) Business Days prior to any such
prepayment.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify
the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of each Borrowing
or portion thereof to be prepaid.  Upon receipt of any such notice,
the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the contents
thereof and of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any such
prepayment.  If such notice is given, the aggregate amount specified
in such notice shall be due and payable on the date designated in such notice,
together with accrued interest to such date on the amount so prepaid in
accordance with Section 2.17(a);
provided, that
if a Eurodollar Borrowing is prepaid on a date other than an Interest Reset
Date, the Borrower shall also pay all amounts required pursuant to Section 2.15.  Each
partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of
not less than $2,500,000.  Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be
applied ratably to the Loans comprising such Borrowing and shall be applied
first to accrued interest and then to the principal
balance.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or
otherwise, the Borrower shall not (and shall not have the right to) to prepay
any Loans on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing
Date.

    

    Section 2.8. Interest
on Loans.

    

    (a)           Interest
on the principal amount of all Loans shall accrue from and including the date
such Loans are made to but excluding the date of any repayment
thereof.  The Borrower shall pay interest on each Loan in arrears on
the last day of March, June, September  and December of each year and
on the Maturity Date (each, an “Interest Payment
Date”) at a rate equal to LIBOR plus three and one-half
percent (3.50%) per annum (the “Interest
Rate”).  The initial Interest Payment Date in respect of the
Term Loans shall be December 31, 2008.  The initial Interest
Payment Date in respect of each Incremental Term Loan (if any) shall be the
Interest Payment Date immediately following the date on which such Incremental
Term Loan is made.

    

    (b)           The
Interest Rate in respect of the Term Loans for the period from the Closing Date
to December 31, 2008 shall be 6.98% per annum, which was determined by
reference to the then prevailing LIBOR.  The Interest Rate in respect
of each Incremental Term Loan (if any) for the period from the date such
Incremental Term Loan is made to the immediately following Interest Reset Date
shall be set forth in each Subordinated Term Note issued in connection with the
making of such Incremental Term Loan (which shall be determined by reference to
the then prevailing LIBOR).  Thereafter, in the case of each Loan, the
Interest Rate shall be reset on a quarterly basis on each Interest Reset Date by
reference to the then prevailing LIBOR.  If any Interest Reset Date
falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Interest Reset Date shall be
postponed to the next succeeding Business Day, except if that Business Day is in
the next succeeding calendar month, the Interest Reset Date shall be the
immediately preceding Business Day.

    

    (c)           Following
the occurrence of an Event of Default, and in any event after acceleration,
interest on all Loans shall cease to accrue interest at the Interest Rate and
shall thereafter bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Base Rate Margin
plus 2% per
annum.  All interest payable under this clause (c) shall be payable on
demand.

    

    (d)           The
Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans
hereunder and shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of such rate in
writing (or by telephone, promptly confirmed in writing).  Any such
determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.

    

    Section 2.9. Certain
Fees

    .  The
Borrower shall also pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees in
the amounts and at the times previously agreed upon in writing by the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent. Further, the Borrower
shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of each Lender,
the upfront fee previously agreed upon by the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent, which shall be due and payable on the Closing Date.

    

    Section 2.10. Computation of Interest and
Fees

    .  All
computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year
of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but
excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees
are payable (to the extent computed on the basis of days
elapsed).  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an
interest amount or fee hereunder shall be made in good faith and, except for
manifest error, shall be final, con­clusive and binding for all
purposes.

    

    Section 2.11. Inability to Determine
Interest Rates

    .  If
prior to the occurrence of any Interest Reset Date, the Administrative Agent
shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon
the Borrower) that (a) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant
interbank market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, or
(b) the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Required
Lenders that LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such
Lenders of making, funding or maintaining its Eurodollar Loans, the
Administrative Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic notice, promptly
confirmed in writing) to the Borrower as soon as practicable
thereafter.  Until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and
the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
all such affected Loans outstanding shall be deemed to be converted into Base
Rate Loans as of such date and shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Base Rate
Margin.

    

    Section 2.12. Evidence of
Indebtedness

    .  Each
Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice appropriate records
evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each
Loan made by such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal
and interest payable thereon and paid to such Lender from time to time under
this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall maintain appropriate
records in which shall be recorded (i) the Commitment of each Lender,
(ii) the amount of each Loan made hereunder by each Lender, the Type
thereof, (iii) the date of each required conversion of any Loan from a
Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan, (iv) the date and amount of any
principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the
Borrower to each Lender hereunder in respect of such Loans and (v) both the
date and amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from
the Borrower in respect of the Loans and each Lender’s Pro Rata Share
thereof.  The entries made in such records shall be prima facie
evidence (absent manifest error) of the existence and amounts of the obligations
of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, that the
failure or delay of any Lender or the Administrative Agent in maintaining or
making entries into any such record or any error therein shall not in any manner
affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans (both principal and
unpaid accrued interest) made by such Lender to the Borrower in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.  On the Closing Date, the Borrower will
execute and deliver a Subordinated Term Note to each Lender in a principal
amount equal to the amount of the Term Loans funded by such Lender on the
Closing Date.

    

    Section 2.13. Illegality

    .  If
any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make,
maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loan and such Lender shall so notify the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice
thereof to the Borrower and the other Lenders, whereupon until such Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of such Lender to make
Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended.  In the case of the making of a
Eurodollar Borrowing, such Lender’s Loan shall be made as a Base Rate Loan and
if the affected Eurodollar Loan is then outstanding, such Loan shall be
converted to a Base Rate Loan either (x) on the next Interest Reset Date if
such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such date
or (y) immediately if such Lender shall determine that it may not lawfully
continue to maintain such Eurodollar Loan to such Interest Reset
Date.

    

    Section 2.14. Increased
Costs.

    

    (a)           If
any Change in Law shall:

    

    
      	
              (i)

            	
              impose,
      modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
      requirement that is not otherwise included in the determination of LIBOR
      hereunder against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or
      credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement
      reflected in the calculation of LIBOR);
or

            

    

    

    (ii)           impose
on any Lender or the eurodollar interbank market any other condition affecting
this Agreement or any Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

    

    and the
result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining a Eurodollar Loan or to reduce the amount received or receivable by
such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then
the Borrower shall promptly pay, upon written notice (with adequate detail of
such increased costs) from and demand by such Lender (with a copy of such notice
and demand to the Administrative Agent), to the Administrative Agent for the
account of such Lender, additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate
such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered in
accordance with clause (c) of this Section 2.14.

    

    (b)           If
any Lender shall have determined that on or after the date of this Agreement any
Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the ef­fect
of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital (or on the capital of
such Lender’s parent corporation) as a consequence of its obligations
here­under to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s parent
corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s policies or the policies of such Lender’s parent
corporation with respect to capital adequacy) then, from time to time, the
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate
such Lender or such Lender’s parent corporation for any such reduction suffered
in accordance with clause (c) of this Section 2.14.

    

    (c)           A
certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or its parent corporation, as the case may be, specified
in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and shall be con­clusive, absent
manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay any such Lender such amount or
amounts within 10 days after receipt thereof.

    

    (d)           Failure
or delay on the part of a Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such
compensation; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section
for (x) any increased cost or reduction of amounts received or receivable
described in paragraph (a) above or (y) any reduction of the rate of return on
such Lender’s capital described in paragraph (b) above, if such increase or
reduction, as the case may be, is suffered more than 90 days prior to the date
that such Lender gives any required notice and demand (except that, if the
Change in Law that causes such increase or reduction, as the case may be, is
retroactive, then the 90 day period referred to above shall be extended to
include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

    

    Section 2.15. Funding
Indemnity

    .  In
the event of (a) the payment of any principal of a Loan other than on an
Interest Reset Date or the Maturity Date or (b) the failure by the Borrower
to borrow or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any applicable notice
(regardless of whether such notice is withdrawn or revoked), then, in any such
event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, within five (5) Business Days
after written demand from such Lender, for any actual loss, cost or expense
incurred by such Lender and attributable to such event.  Such loss,
cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender
to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have
accrued on the principal amount of such Loan if such event had not occurred at
LIBOR applicable to such Loan for the period from the date of such event to the
next Interest Reset Date (or in the case of a failure to borrow, for the period
that would have been the period through the next Interest Reset Date) over
(B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of
such Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date such Loan was
prepaid or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow such
Loan.  A certificate as to any additional amount payable under this
Section 2.15
submitted to the Borrower by any Lender shall be conclusive, absent manifest
error.

    

    Section 2.16. Taxes.

    

    (a)           Any
and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower under this
Agreement shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if the
Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from
such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so
that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or any
Lender (as the case may be) shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall
make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
law.

    

    (b)           In
addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable law.

    

    (c)           The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within ten
(10) Business Days after written demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account
of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this
Section) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom
or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or
liability, together with reasonable evidence of such payment, as applicable,
delivered to the Borrower by a Lender, or by the Administrative Agent on its own
behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest
error.

    

    (d)           As
soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the
Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by
such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return
reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent.

    

    (e)           Any
Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding
tax under the Code or any treaty to which the United States is a party, with
respect to payments under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
law or reasonably requested by the Borrower as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Foreign Lender agrees that it
will deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (or in the case of a
Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been
purchased), as appropriate, two (2) duly completed copies of (i) Internal
Revenue Service Form W-8 ECI, or any successor form thereto, certifying that the
payments received from the Borrower hereunder are effectively connected with
such Foreign Lender’s conduct of a trade or business in the United States; or
(ii) Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form thereto,
certifying that such Foreign Lender is entitled to benefits under an income tax
treaty to which the United States is a party which reduces or eliminates the
rate of withholding tax on payments of interest; or (iii) Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8 BEN, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service, together with a certificate (A) establishing that the payments to the
Foreign Lender from the Borrower hereunder qualify as “portfolio interest”
exempt from U.S. withholding tax under Code section 871(h) or 881(c), and (B)
stating that (1) the Foreign Lender is not a bank for purposes of Code section
881(c)(3)(A), or the obligation of
the Borrower hereunder is not, with respect to such Foreign Lender, a loan
agreement entered into in the ordinary course of its trade or business, within
the meaning of that section; (2) the Foreign Lender is not a 10% shareholder of
the Borrower within the meaning of Code section 871(h)(3) or 881(c)(3)(B); and
(3) the Foreign Lender is not a controlled foreign corporation that is a related
Person to the Borrower within the meaning of Code section 881(c)(3)(C); or (iv)
such other Internal Revenue Service forms as may be applicable to the Foreign
Lender, including Forms W-8 IMY or W-8 EXP.  Each such Foreign Lender
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such forms on or
before the date that it becomes a party to this Agreement (or in the case of a
Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related
participation).  In addition, each such Foreign Lender shall deliver
such forms within ten (10) Business Days after the obsolescence or invalidity of
any form previously delivered by such Foreign Lender. Each such Foreign Lender
shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing at
any time that it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any
previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of
certification adopted by the Internal Revenue Service for such
purpose).

    

    Section 2.17. Payments
Generally; Pro Rata Treatment.

    

    (a)           The
Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of
principal, interest or fees or of amounts payable under Section 2.7,
Section 2.8 or
Section 2.9 or
otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, on the date when due, in immediately available
funds, without set-off or counterclaim.  Any amounts received after
such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be
deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of
calculating interest thereon.  All such payments shall be made to the
Administrative Agent at the Payment Office, except that payments pursuant to
Section 2.14,
Section 2.15 and
Section 8.3
shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto.  The
Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the
account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following
receipt thereof.  If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that
is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest,
interest thereon shall be made payable for the period of such
extension.  All payments hereunder shall be made in
Dollars.

    

    (b)           If
at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees
then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied first, towards payment of
interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto
in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties,
and second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the
parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to
such parties.

    

    (c)           If
any Lender shall obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on
any of its Loans that would result in such Lender receiving payment of a greater
proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon
than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such
greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such
payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate
amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided, that
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded
and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed
to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with
the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans to any assignee or Participant, other than to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph
shall apply).

    

    (d)           Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to
the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account
of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such
date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption,
distribute to the Lenders the amount or amounts due.  In such event,
if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then the Lenders severally
agree to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to the Lenders with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate
and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation.

    

    (e)           If
any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.5(a),
Section 2.17(d),
or Section 8.3(d),
then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any
contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s
obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully
paid.

    

    (f)           Each
Lender agrees that, so long as the Loans are deemed to be Tier 2 Capital, other
than due to the limitation imposed by the second sentence of 12 C.F.R. Part 325,
App. A(I)(A)(2)(e), such Lender waives its right to exercise any set-off or
other right to appropriate and to apply any deposits or other assets of the
Borrower at any time held by such Lender against or on account of any of the
Loans owing hereunder or owing under a Subordinated Term Note to such
Lender.

    

    Section 2.18. Mitigation
of Obligations;
Replacement of Lenders

    

    (a)           If
any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.14, or
if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16,
then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in
the reasonable credit judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment
(i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable under Section 2.14 or
Section 2.16, as
the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to
any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to
such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with such designation or
assignment.

    

    (b)           If (1) any Lender requests
compensation under Section 2.14, or (2) the Borrower is required
to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.16, or (3) any Lender suspends its
obligations to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.13 (provided, that this clause (3) shall not apply
if the Required Lenders have suspended their respective obligations to make or
maintain Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 2.13), or (4) any Lender that is not
the Administrative Agent does not consent to any amendment, waiver or consent to
any Loan Document for which the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained and
that requires the consent of all Lenders, then the Borrower may, at its sole
cost and expense, upon notice to any such Lender and the Administrative Agent,
require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with
and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 8.4(b)) all of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such
obligations (which assignee may be another Lender); provided, that (i) the Borrower shall have
received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, (ii) such assigning Lender shall have
received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of all
Loans owed to it, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder, from the assignee (in the case of such outstanding
principal and accrued interest) and from the Borrower (in the case of all other
amounts) and (iii) in the case of a claim for compensation under Section 2.14 or payments required to be made
pursuant to Section 2.16, such assignment will result in a
reduction or elimination of such compensation or payments.  A a Lender
shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of an irrevocable waiver by such Lender, the circumstances
entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation ceases to
apply.

    

    Section 2.19. Subordinated
and Unsecured Obligations

    .  All
Loans are unsecured obligations of the Borrower and are subordinated to the
extent set forth in the Subordinated Term Notes.

    

    Section 2.20. Incremental
Facility.

    

    (a)           Upon
notice to the Administrative Agent (whereupon the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify the Lenders), at any time after the Closing Date, the Borrower
may from time to time request additional Commitments for Term Loans (each an
“Incremental Commitment” and all of them, collectively, the “Incremental
Commitments”); provided that
(x) after giving effect to any such addition, the aggregate amount of
Incremental Commitments that have been added pursuant to this Section shall not
exceed $100,000,000 and (y) any such addition or increase shall be in an amount
of not less than $5,000,000.

     

    (b)           Any
Loans made in respect of any Incremental Commitments (the “Incremental Term
Loans”) shall be made by increasing the Aggregate Commitments with such
Incremental Term Loans having identical terms (including pricing) as the
existing Term Loans.

     

    (c)           Each
notice from the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall set forth the requested
amount of the Incremental Commitments.  Incremental Term Loans (or any
portion thereof) may be made by any existing Lender or by any other bank,
financial institution or other investing entity (any such bank, financial
institution or other investing entity, an “Incremental Lender”), in each case on
terms permitted in this Section and otherwise on terms reasonably acceptable to
the Administrative Agent, provided that the
Administrative Agent shall have consented (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld) to such Lender’s or Incremental Lender’s, as the case may be, making
such Incremental Term Loans if such consent would be required under Section 8.4 for
an assignment of Loans to such Lender or Incremental Lender, as the case may
be.  No Lender shall be obligated to provide any Incremental Term
Loans unless it so agrees.  Any Incremental Commitments shall become
effective under this Agreement pursuant to an amendment (an “Incremental
Facility Amendment”) to this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan
Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender agreeing to provide such
Commitment, if any, each Incremental Lender, if any, and the Administrative
Agent.  At the time of the sending of such notice, the Borrower (in
consultation with the Administrative Agent) shall specify the time period within
which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no event be less than
ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the
Lenders).  Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent within
such time period whether or not it agrees to provide an Incremental Commitment
and, if so, whether by an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Pro
Rata Share of such requested increase.  Any Lender not responding
within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to provide an
Incremental Commitment.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made
hereunder.  To achieve the full amount of a requested increase, the
Borrower may, after first offering such increase to the existing Lenders as
provided above, invite Incremental Lenders to become Lenders pursuant to a
joinder agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and its counsel.

     

    (d)           If
any Incremental Commitments are added in accordance with this Section 2.20,
the Administrative Agent shall determine the effective date (the “Incremental
Commitments Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such addition; provided, that any
existing Lender electing to participate in the proposed Incremental Commitments
shall have the right to participate in the proposed increase or addition on a
pro rata basis in accordance with Term Loans held by such Lender as of the
Business Day prior to the Incremental Commitments Effective Date.  The
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the
final allocation of such addition and the Incremental Commitments Effective
Date.  As conditions precedent to such addition, (i) the Borrower
shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1(b)(vi) dated as of the Incremental
Commitments Effective Date, and (ii) each of the conditions set forth in Section 3.2
shall be satisfied as of the Incremental Commitments Effective
Date.  On the Incremental Commitments Effective Date, each Lender or
Incremental Lender which is providing an Incremental Commitment (i) shall become
a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (ii)
shall make an Incremental Term Loan to the Borrower in a principal amount equal
to such Incremental Term Commitment, and such Incremental Term Loan shall be a
“Loan” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (iii)
the Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender or Incremental Lender
providing an Incremental Commitment a new Subordinated Term Note in the amount
of such Lender’s or Incremental Lender’s Incremental Term Loans after giving
effect to the Incremental Commitments.

     

    (e)           This
Section shall supersede any provisions in Section 8.2 to
the contrary.

this Section 3.2.

    

    ARTICLE IV.REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES

    

    The
Borrower represents and warrants to Administrative Agent and the Lenders as
follows:

    Section 4.1. Existence;
Power

    .  The
Borrower (i) is duly organized and validly existing as a bank under the
laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) has all requisite power
and authority to carry on its business as now conducted, and (iii) is duly
qualified to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where
such qualification is required, except where a failure to be so qualified could
not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

    

    Section 4.2. Organizational Power;
Authorization

    .  All
Borrowings, and the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of each
of the Loan Documents are within the Borrower’s powers and have been duly
authorized by all necessary corporate, and if required, stockholder,
action.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the
Borrower and constitutes, and each other Loan Document when executed and
delivered by the Borrower will constitute, valid and binding obligations of the
Borrower, en­forceable against it in accordance with their re­spective
terms, except as may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, or similar laws affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

    

    Section 4.3. Governmental Approvals; No
Conflicts

    .  The
execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (a) do not require any consent or approval of,
registration or filing with, or any action by, any Governmental Authority,
except those as have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect,
(b) will not violate any applicable law or regulation or the charter or
by-laws of the Borrower or any order of any Governmental Authority binding upon
the Borrower, (c) will not violate or result in a default under any
indenture, material agreement or other material instrument binding on the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective assets or give
rise to a right thereunder to require any payment to be made by the Borrower or
any such Subsidiary and (d) will not result in the creation or imposition
of any lien, security interest or other encumbrance on any asset of the Borrower
or any Subsidiary.  All necessary regulatory approvals have been
obtained for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to conduct their respective
businesses.

    

    Section 4.4. Financial
Statements

    .  The
Borrower has furnished to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the
Lenders (i) the audited consolidated balance sheet of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 and the related consolidated statements of
income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the fiscal year then ended
prepared by Ernst & Young LLP and (ii) the unaudited consolidated balance
sheet of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2008, and the related
unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the Fiscal
Quarter and year-to-date period then ending, certified by a Responsible
Officer.  Such financial statements fairly present, in all material
respects, the consolidated financial position of the Parent and its Subsidiaries
as of the date thereof and the consolidated results of operations and cash flows
for such period in conformity with GAAP consistently applied, subject to year
end audit adjustments and the absence of footnotes in the case of the statements
referred to in clause (ii) above.  Since December 31, 2007, there have
been no changes with respect to the Parent and its Subsidiaries which have had
or could reasonably
be expected to have, singly or in the aggregate, a material adverse change in,
or a material adverse effect on, the business, results of operations, financial
condition, assets or liabilities of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole.  In addition, the Borrower has provided to the Lenders copies
of the Call Reports of the Borrower for the period ending June 30,
2008.  Each of such Call Reports is true and correct and is in
accordance with the respective books of account and records of the Borrower, and
has been prepared in accordance with applicable banking regulations, rules and
guidelines on a basis consistent with prior periods, and fairly and accurately
presents, in all material respects, the financial condition of the Borrower and
its assets and liabilities and the results of its operations as of such
date.

    

    Section 4.5. Litigation
Matters and
Enforcement Actions

    .  No
litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrators or
Governmental Authorities is pending against, or, to the knowledge of the
Borrower, threatened against or affecting the Borrower (i) as to which
there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse determination that could
reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a
Material Adverse Effect or (ii) which in any manner draws into question the
validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.  Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries (including
the Borrower), nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or
representatives, is subject or is party to, or has received any notice from any
Governmental Authority that any of them will become subject or party to any
investigation with respect to, any cease-and-desist order, agreement, civil
monetary penalty, bar or suspension from the securities investment or banking
businesses, consent agreement, memorandum of understanding or other regulatory
enforcement action, proceeding or order with or by, or is a party to any
commitment letter or similar undertaking to, or is subject to any directive by,
or has been a recipient of any supervisory letter from, or has adopted any board
resolutions at the request or suggestion of, any Governmental Authority that, in
any such case, currently restricts in any material respect the conduct of their
business or that in any material manner relates to their capital adequacy, their
credit policies, their management or their business (each, a “Regulatory Action”),
nor has the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Borrower) been
advised by any Governmental Authority that it is considering issuing or
requesting any such Regulatory Action; and there is no unresolved violation,
criticism or exception by any Governmental Authority with respect to any report
or statement relating to any examinations of the Parent or any of its
Subsidiaries (including the Borrower), except where such unresolved violation,
criticism or exception would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect.

    

    Section 4.6. Compliance with Laws and
Agreements

    .  The
Borrower is in compliance with all applicable laws (including without limitation
all Environmental Laws and all federal and state banking statutes) and all
rules, regulations (including without limitation all applicable federal and
state banking regulations) and orders of any Governmental Authority, except
where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect.  The Borrower is not in material default in
the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the terms, obligations,
covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any indenture or other
agreement creating, evidencing or securing indebtedness of any kind or pursuant
to which any such indebtedness is issued, or other agreement or instrument to
which the Borrower is a party or by which the Borrower or any of its properties
may be bound or affected.

    

    Section 4.7. Investment Company
Act

    .  The
Borrower is not an “investment company”, as defined in, or subject to regulation
under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

    

    Section 4.8. Taxes

    .  The
Borrower has timely filed or caused to be filed all Federal income tax returns
and all other material tax returns that are required to be filed by it, and have
paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns or on any assessments
made against it or its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges
imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority, except
(i) to the extent the failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse
Effect or (ii) where the same are currently being contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings and for which the Borrower  has set aside
on its books adequate reserves.

    

    Section 4.9. Margin
Regulations

    .  None
of the proceeds of any of the Loans will be used for “purchasing” or “carrying”
any “margin stock” with the respective meanings of each of such terms under
Regulation U as now and from time to time hereafter in effect or for any purpose
that violates the provisions of Regulation U.

    

    Section 4.10. Disclosure

    .  The
Borrower has disclosed to the Lenders all agreements, instruments, and corporate
or other restrictions to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is
subject, and all other matters known to any of them, that, individually or in
the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect.  None of the reports (including Call Reports), financial
statements, certificates or other information furnished by or on behalf of the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the
negotiation or syndication of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or
delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by any other
information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact or omits to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, taken as a
whole, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

    

    Section 4.11. Dividend
Restrictions; Other Restrictions.

    

    (a)           The
Borrower has not violated any applicable regulatory restrictions on dividends,
and no Governmental Authority has taken any action to restrict the payment of
dividends by the Borrower.

    

    (b)           The
Borrower is not under investigation by, or is operating under any restrictions
(excluding any restrictions on the payment of dividends referenced in
subsection (a) above) imposed by or agreed to with, any Governmental
Authority, other than routine examinations by such Governmental
Authorities.

    

    Section 4.12. Capital
Measures

    .  The
Borrower has been, or is deemed to have been, notified by the appropriate
Governmental Authority having regulatory authority over it that it is “well
capitalized”, as determined in accordance with any regulations established by
such Governmental Authority.

    

    Section 4.13. FDIC
Insurance

    .  The
deposits of the Borrower are insured by the FDIC and no act has occurred that
would adversely affect the status of the Borrower as an FDIC insured
bank.

    

    Section 4.14. Ownership
of Property.

    

    (a)           The
Borrower has good title to, or valid leasehold interests in, all of its real and
personal property material to the operation of its business, free and clear of
all liens, security interests or other encumbrances.  All leases that
individually or in the aggregate are material to the business or operations of
the Borrower are valid and subsisting and are in full force.

    

    (b)           The
Borrower owns, or is licensed, or otherwise has the right, to use, all patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights and other intellectual
property material to its business, and the use thereof by the Borrower does not
infringe in any material respect on the rights of any other Person.

    

    (c)           The
properties of the Borrower are insured with financially sound and reputable
insurance companies which are not affiliates of the Borrower, in such amounts
with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by
banks engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities
where the Borrower operates.

    

    Section 4.15. OFAC

    .  The
Borrower (i) is not a person whose property or interest in property is
blocked or subject to blocking pursuant to Section 1 of Executive Order

Act

    .  The
Borrower is in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) the Trading
with the Enemy Act, as amended, and each of the foreign assets control
regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B,
Chapter V, as amended) and any other enabling legislation or executive order
relating thereto and (ii) the Uniting And Strengthening America By
Providing Appropriate Tools Required To Intercept And Obstruct Terrorism (USA

    Section 5.1. Financial Statements and
Other Information

    .  The
Borrower will deliver to the Administrative Agent and each Lender:

    

    (a)           as
soon as available and in any event within 90 days after the end of each fiscal
year of the Parent, a copy of the annual audited report for such fiscal year for
the Parent and its Subsidiaries, containing (i) a consolidated and
consolidating balance sheet and the related consolidated and consolidating

course of business litigation or proceedings which, if adversely decided, could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that nothing
in this Section shall require the Borrower to provide notice of such charges,
assessments, actions, suits or proceedings to the extent that providing such
notice would be prohibited by 12 C.F.R. § 350.9.; and

    

    (f)           promptly
following any request therefor, such other information regarding the results of
operations, business affairs and financial condition of the Borrower as the

notice (if the consent of such Governmental Authority is required for the
Borrower to give such notice);

    

    (e)           the
issuance of any cease and desist order (whether written or oral), written
agreement, cancellation of insurance or other public or enforcement action by

Obligations

Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall be permitted only one such visit in any 12-month period; provided, however, that nothing
in this Section shall require the Borrower to permit the inspection of exam
reports and other supervisory materials to the extent such inspection would be
prohibited by 12 C.F.R. § 350.9.

    

    Section 5.8. Maintenance of Properties;

the five years immediately preceding the maturity date of the subordinated debt,
the Borrower shall: (a) immediately notify the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders; and (b) immediately upon request of the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders execute and deliver all such agreements (including, without

continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the written
request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower, take any or

    ARTICLE VII.THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT

    

    Section 7.1. Appointment of
Administrative Agent

    .  Each
Lender irrevocably appoints SunTrust Bank as the Administrative Agent and
authorizes it to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as
are delegated to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, together with all such actions and powers that are reasonably
incidental thereto.  The Administrative Agent may perform any of its
duties hereunder by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent
may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers through
any affiliate thereof.  The exculpatory provisions set forth in this
Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and any affiliate of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided
for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

    

    Section 7.2. Nature of Duties of
Administrative Agent

    .  The
Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those
expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
(a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other
implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take
any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except those
discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated by the Loan Documents
that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing by the Required
Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary
under the circumstances as provided in Section 8.2),
and (c) except as expressly set forth in the Loan Documents, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be
liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or
any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the
Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates in any capacity.  The
Administrative Agent shall not be li­able for any action taken or not taken
by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other
number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the
circumstances as provided in Section 8.2) or
in the absence of its own gross negli­gence or willful
misconduct.  The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is
given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any Lender, and the
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain
or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in
connection with any Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection
herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the
covenants, agreements, or other terms and conditions set forth in any Loan
Document, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness
of any Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or

elsewhere in any Loan Document, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

    

    Section 7.3. Lack of Reliance on the
Administrative Agent

    .  Each
of the Lenders acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each of the Lenders also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in
taking or not taking of any action under or based on this Agreement, any related
agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

    

    Section 7.4. Certain Rights of the
Administrative Agent

    .  If
the Administrative Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders
with re­spect to any action or ac­tions (including the failure to act)
in connection with this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
refrain from such act or taking such act, unless and until it shall have
received instructions from such Lend­ers; and the Administrative Agent shall
not incur liability to any Person by rea­son of so
refraining.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any
right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the
Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in
ac­cordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders where required by
the terms of this Agreement.

    

    Section 7.5. Reliance by Administrative
Agent

    .  The
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any
liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent,
statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine
and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person.  The
Administrative Agent may also rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person and shall not incur
any liability for relying thereon.  The Administrative Agent may
consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower),
indepen­dent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

    

    Section 7.6. The Administrative Agent in
its Individual Capacity

    .  The
bank serving as the Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers
under this Agreement and any other Loan Document in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though
it were not the Administrative Agent; and the terms “Lenders”, “Required
Lenders”, “holders of Notes”, or any similar terms shall, unless the context
clearly otherwise indicates, include the Administrative Agent in its individual
capacity.  The bank acting as the Administrative Agent and its
affiliates may accept de­posits from, lend money to, and generally engage in
any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the
Borrower as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.

    

    Section 7.7. Successor Administrative
Agent.

    

    (a)           The
Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days prior written
notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon any such
resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent, subject to the approval by the Borrower provided that no
Event of Default shall exist at such time.  If no suc­cessor
Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such
appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives
notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of
the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a
commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or any
state thereof or a bank which maintains an office in the United
States.

    

    (b)           Upon
the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder by a
successor, such successor Administrative Agent shall there­upon succeed to
and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.  If within 30 days after written notice is given of
the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation under this Section 7.7 no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted
such appointment, then on such 30th day
(i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become effective,
(ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from
its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required
Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent
under the Loan Documents until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided above.  After any
retir­ing Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provi­sions
of this Article VII
shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent
and its representatives and agents in respect of any ac­tions taken or not
taken by any of them while it was serving as the Administrative
Agent.

              Any
      party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and

      until actually received by the Administrative Agent at its address
      specified in this Section 8.1.

            

    

    

    (b)           Any
agreement of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders herein to receive certain
notices by telephone or facsimile is solely for the convenience and at the
request of the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a
Person authorized by the Borrower to give such notice, and the Administrative
Agent shall not have any liability to the Borrower or other Person on account of
any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in
reliance upon such telephonic or facsimile notice.  The obligation of
the Borrower to repay the Loans and all other obligations hereunder shall not be
affected in any way or to any extent by any failure of the Administrative Agent
or the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any telephonic or facsimile
notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of a
confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders to be contained in any such telephonic or
facsimile notice.

    

    Section 8.2. Waiver;
Amendments.

    

    (a)           No
failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any
right or power hereunder or any other Loan Document, and no course of dealing
between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power or
any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power,
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right or power hereunder or thereunder.  The rights and remedies of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies
provided by law.  No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph
(b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which
given.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making
of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Event of Default, regardless
of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or
knowledge of such Event of Default at the time.

    

    (b)           No
amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the
Borrower and the Required Lenders, or the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
with the consent of the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for
which given; provided, that no
amendment or waiver shall: (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender
without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal
amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees
payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,
(iii) extend the Maturity Date or otherwise postpone the date fixed for any
payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan or interest thereon or any
fees hereunder or reduce the amount of, waive, forgive or excuse any such
payment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby,
(iv) change Section 2.17(b)
or Section 2.17(c)
in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby,
without the written consent of each Lender, (v) change any of the
provisions of this Section 8.2 or
the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying
the number or percentage of Lenders which are re­quired to waive, amend or
modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent
hereunder, without the consent of each Lender; (vi) release any guarantor,
if any, or limit the liability of any such guarantor under any guaranty
agreement; provided
further, that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect
the rights, duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent without the prior
written consent of such Person.  Notwithstanding anything herein or
otherwise to the contrary, any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall
continue to exist (and shall be deemed to be continuing) until such time as such
Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this
Section notwithstanding (i) any attempted cure or other action taken by the
Borrower or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of
Default or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender prior to or subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of
Default (other than the granting of a waiver in writing in accordance with the
terms of this Section).

    

    Section 8.3. Expenses;
Indemnification.

    

    (a)           The
Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses of
the Administrative Agent and its affiliates (including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel and the allocated
cost of inside counsel for the Administrative Agent and its affiliates) in
connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein,
the preparation and administration of the Loan Documents and any amendments,
modifications or waivers thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated
in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be consummated), and
(ii) all out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including, without limitation,
the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel and the
allocated cost of inside counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in
connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in
connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket
expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect
of such Loans.

    

    (b)           The
Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender and each
officer, director, employee, agents, advisors and affiliates of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender (each, an “Indemnitee”)
against, and hold each of them harmless from, any and all costs, losses,
liabilities, claims, damages and related expenses, including the reasonable
fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, which may be
incurred by any Indemnitee, or asserted against any Indemnitee by the Borrower
or any third Person, arising out of, in connection with or as a result of
(i) the execution or delivery of any this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations
hereunder or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby,
(ii) any Loan or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom,
(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on
or from any property owned by the Borrower or any Subsidiary or any
Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or
(iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or
proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether brought by the Borrower or
any third Person and whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory and
regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided, that such indemnity
shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee; provided, further, that each
Indemnitee shall have the obligation to promptly notify the Borrower of any
claim, expense, obligation or liability for which such Indemnitee will seek
indemnification from the Borrower hereunder, but the failure to give such notice
shall not nullify or abrogate the Borrower’s obligations under this
Section.

    

    (c)           The
Borrower shall pay, and hold the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders
harmless from and against, any and all present and future stamp, documentary,
and other similar taxes with respect to this Agreement and any other Loan
Documents, or any payments due thereunder, and save the Administrative Agent and
each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all liabilities with
respect to or resulting from any delay or omission by the Borrower to pay such
taxes.

    

    (d)           To
the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid to the
Administrative Agent under clauses (a), (b) or (c) hereof, each Lender severally
agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share
(determined as of the time that the unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is
sought) such unpaid amount; provided, that the
unreimbursed expense or indemnified payment, claim, damage, liability or related
expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.

    

    (e)           TO
THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BORROWER SHALL NOT ASSERT, AND
HEREBY WAIVES, ANY CLAIM AGAINST ANY INDEMNITEE, ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, FOR
SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (AS OPPOSED TO ACTUAL OR
DIRECT DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR AS A RESULT OF, THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY AGREEMENT OR INSTRUMENT CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, THE TRANSACTIONS
CONTEMPLATED THEREIN, ANY LOAN OR THE USE OF PROCEEDS THEREOF.

    

    (f)           All
amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after written
demand therefor.

    

    Section 8.4. Successors
and Assigns.

    

    (a)           The
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the
Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights hereunder without the
prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer
by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void).

    

    (b)           Any
Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, that
(i) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an affiliate of a
Lender or to a fund managed by a Lender or an affiliate of a Lender, each of the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent must give their prior written consent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided, that the
consent of the Borrower shall not be required during the existence of an Event
of Default, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an
affiliate of a Lender or to a fund managed by a Lender or an affiliate of a
Lender or an assignment of the entire amount of the assigning Lender’s Loans or
an assignment while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
amount of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment
(determined as of the date the assignment and acceptance agreement with respect
to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less
than $1,000,000 (unless the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall
otherwise consent), (iii) each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) the
assigning Lender and the assignee shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent an assignment and acceptance agreement in form and
substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, together with a processing and
recordation fee
payable by the assigning Lender or the assignee (as determined between such
Persons) in an amount equal to $3,500 and (v) such
assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver a duly completed Administrative
Questionnaire to the Administrative Agent; provided, that any
consent of the Borrower otherwise required hereunder shall not be required if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Upon the execution
and delivery of the such assignment and acceptance agreement and payment by such
assignee to the assigning Lender of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed
between such Persons, such assignee shall become a party to this Agreement and
any other Loan Documents to which such assigning Lender is a party and, to the
extent of such interest assigned by such assignment and acceptance agreement,
shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the
assigning Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a
corresponding extent (and, in the case of an assignment and acceptance agreement
covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Section 2.13,
Section 2.14,
Section 2.15 and
Section 8.3).  Upon
the consummation of any such assignment hereunder, the assigning Lender, the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements to
have new promissory notes issued if so requested by either or both the assigning
Lender or the assignee.  Any assignment or other transfer by a Lender
that does not fully comply with the terms of this clause (b) shall be
treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale of a participation pursuant to
clause (c) below.

    

    (c)           Each
Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities
(a “Participant”) in all
or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance
of its obligations hereun­der and for such Participant’s compliance with the
terms of Section 8.10 of
this Agreement, and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Any
agreement between such Lender and the Participant with respect to such
participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and
responsibility to enforce this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the
right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents; provided, that such
participation agreement may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver of
this Agreement described in the first proviso of Section 8.2(b)
that affects the Participant.  The Borrower agrees that each
Participant shall be entitled to the benefits Section 2.13,
Section 2.14 and
Section 2.15 to
the same extent as if it were a Lender hereunder and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b); provided, that no
Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15
than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant unless the sale of such participation is
made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.

    

    (d)           Each
Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any
por­tion of its rights under this Agreement and the Subordinated Term Note
to secure its obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank without complying with this
Section; provided, that no
such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party
hereto.

    

    Section 8.5. Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Consent to Service of Process.

    

    (a)           THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND
BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES
THEREOF) OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

    

    (b)           The
Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its
property, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Federal and/or state court
located in the State of New York and any appellate court from any thereof, in
any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each of the parties hereto
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any
such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state
court or, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such Federal
court.  Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any
such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other
jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by
law.  Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
affect any right that the Lenders may otherwise have to bring any action or
proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document against the
Borrower or its properties in the courts that have jurisdiction over the
Borrower.

    

    (c)           The
Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection which it
may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action
or proceeding described in paragraph (b) of this Section and brought
in any state or federal court located in the State of New York and referred to
in paragraph (b) of this Section.  Each of the parties hereto
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding
in any such court.

    

    (d)           Each
party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to the service of process in the
manner provided for notices in Section 8.1.  Nothing
in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document will affect the right of any
party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

    

    Section 8.6. WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL

    .  EACH
PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY
OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR
ANY OTHER THEORY).

    

    Section 8.7. Counterparts;
Integration

    .  This
Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any
number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.  This Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and any
separate letter agreement(s) relating to any fees payable to the Administrative
Agent constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto and thereto
regarding the subject matters hereof and thereof and supersede all prior
agreements and understandings, oral or written, regarding such subject
matters.

    

    Section 8.8. Survival

    .  All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower
herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with
or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by
the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by
any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any
incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended
hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal
of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable
under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid and so long as the Commitment has
not expired or terminated.  The provisions of Section 2.15 and
Section 8.3
shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the
expiration or termination of the Commitment or the termination of this Agreement
or any provision hereof.  All representations and warranties made
herein, in the certificates, reports, notices, and other documents delivered
pursu­ant to this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the making of the
Loans.

    

    Section 8.9. Severability

    .  Any
provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document held to be illegal,
invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability
without affecting the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof or thereof; and the illegality, invalidity or unenforceability
of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

    

    Section 8.10. Confidentiality

    .  Each
of the Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of any and all non-public, confidential or proprietary
information, identified to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as such, of
or relating to the Borrower or any Subsidiary and their respective businesses,
operations, finances or strategies (“Confidential
Information”).  For purposes of this Section, Confidential
Information shall not include: (1) information that was already known to the
recipient without an obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower or any
Subsidiary with respect to such information, (2) information that was obtained
from a third party who was not known to the Administrative Agent or such Lender
to be under an obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower or any Subsidiary
with respect to such information, (3) information that is or becomes publicly
available, other than through a breach of this Section by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or any Participant or any of their respective
representatives, employees or agents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Confidential Information may be disclosed (i) to any officer, director,
agent, affiliate or representative of the Administrative Agent or any such
Lender, including without limitation accountants, legal counsel and other
advisors; provided, however, that such
Person shall agree to be bound by the confidentiality provisions set forth in
this Section with respect to such information, (ii) to the extent required
by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process,
(iii) to the extent requested by any regulatory agency or authority,
(iv) to the extent necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedy
hereunder or any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or the
enforcement of rights hereunder, (v) subject to provisions substantially
similar to this Section 8.10, to
any actual or prospective assignee or Participant, or (vi) with the prior
written consent of the Borrower.  Any Person required to maintain the
confidentiality of any information as provided for in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
information as such Person would accord its own confidential information, but in
no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

    

    Section 8.11. Interest Rate
Limitation

    .  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to
any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which may be treated
as interest on such Loan under applicable law (collectively, the “Charges”),
shall exceed the maximum lawful rate of interest (the “Maximum
Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved
by a Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable law, the rate of
interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all Charges
payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the
extent lawful, the interest and Charges that would have been payable in respect
of such Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this
Section shall be cumulated and the interest and Charges payable to such
Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above
the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest
thereon at the Federal Funds Rate to the date of repayment, shall have been
received by such Lender.

    

    Section 8.12. Waiver of Effect of
Corporate Seal

    .  The
Borrower represents and warrants that it is not required to affix its corporate
seal to this Agreement or any other Loan Document pursuant to any requirement of
law or regulation, agrees that this Agreement is delivered by Borrower under
seal and waives any shortening of the statute of limitations that may result
from not affixing the corporate seal to this Agreement or such other Loan
Documents.

    

    Section 8.13. Patriot
Act

    .  The
Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant
to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed
into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower,
which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other
information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as
applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot
Act.  The Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to,
provide to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such
other actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in
maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

    

    Section 8.14. Bookrunner and Lead
Arrangers

    .  Neither the Joint
Lead Arrangers nor the Sole Bookrunner listed on the cover page of this
Agreement shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in their
capacities as such.

    FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned,
THE PRIVATEBANK AND TRUST COMPANY, an Illinois state chartered, non-member bank
(the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to
[name of Lender] (the
“Lender”)
or its registered assigns at the principal office of SunTrust Bank, as
Administrative Agent, or any other office that the Administrative Agent
designates, on the Maturity Date (as defined in the Subordinated Term Loan
Agreement dated as of September 26, 2008 (as the same may be amended,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”; all
capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the respective
meanings given to them as set forth in the Credit Agreement), among the
Borrower, the lenders from time to time a party thereto (including the Lender)
and SunTrust Bank, as Administrative Agent), the principal amount of [amount of such Lender’s Term
Loan] and no/100 Dollars ($__________________) in lawful money of the
United States of America in immediately available funds, and to pay interest
from the date hereof on the principal amount thereof from time to time
outstanding, in like funds, at said office, at the rate or rates per annum
(including post-default rate) as provided in the Credit Agreement.  In
addition, should legal action or an attorney-at-law be utilized to collect any
amount due hereunder, the Borrower further promises to pay all costs of
collection, including the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the Lender.

    

    All accrued interest shall be payable
at the Administrative Agent’s principal office as provided above on a quarterly
basis in arrears on the last day of each September, December, March and June,
commencing [December 31, 2008].  The
outstanding unpaid principal balance of this Subordinated Term Note shall be
payable in a single installment on the Maturity Date. Whenever any payment to be
made under this Subordinated Term Note shall be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day,
and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of interest due
upon this Subordinated Term Note.  The Borrower shall have the right
and privilege of prepaying all or any part of this Subordinated Term Note at any
time in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, subject to (a) the
restrictions on prepayments set forth in Section 2.7(b)
of the Credit Agreement and (b) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”)
approval.

    

    The
indebtedness of the Borrower evidenced by this Subordinated Term Note, including
the principal and premium, if any, and interest shall be subordinate and junior
in right of payment to its obligations to its depositors, its obligations under
bankers’ acceptances and letters of credit, and its obligations to its other
creditors, including its obligations to the Federal Reserve Bank, FDIC, and any
rights acquired by the FDIC as a result of loans made by the FDIC to the
Borrower or the purchase or guarantee of any of its assets by the FDIC pursuant
to the provisions of 12 USC 1823(c), (d) or (e), whether now outstanding or
hereafter incurred.  In the event of any insolvency, receivership,
conservatorship, reorganization, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings or any liquidation or winding up of or
relating to the Borrower, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such obligations
shall be entitled to be paid in full before any payment shall be made on account
of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, on this Subordinated Term
Note.  In the event of any such proceedings, after payment in full of
all sums owing on such prior obligations, the holder of this Subordinated Term
Note, together with any obligations of the Borrower ranking on a parity with
this Subordinated Term Note, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining
assets of the Borrower the unpaid principal hereof and any unpaid premium, if
any, and interest before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash,
property, or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any
obligations of the Borrower ranking junior to this Subordinated Term
Note.  Nothing herein shall impair the obligation of the Borrower,
which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and
interest on this Subordinated Term Note according to its terms.

    

    Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Subordinated Term Note or the Credit Agreement,
including specifically those set forth in the sections relating to
subordination, events of default and covenants of the Borrower, it is expressly
understood and agreed that the FDIC or any receiver or conservator of the
Borrower appointed by the FDIC shall have the right in the performance of his
legal duties, and as part of liquidation designed to protect or further the
continued existence of the Borrower or the rights of any parties or agencies
with an interest in, or claim against, the Borrower or its assets, to transfer
or direct the transfer of the obligations of this Subordinated Term Note to any
bank or bank holding company selected by such official which shall expressly
assume the obligation of the due and punctual payment of the unpaid principal,
and interest and premium, if any, on this Subordinated Term Note and the due and
punctual performance of all covenants and conditions; and the completion of such
transfer and assumption shall serve to supersede and void any default,
acceleration or subordination which may have occurred, or which may occur due or
related to such transaction, plan, transfer or assumption, pursuant to the
provisions of this Subordinated Term Note, and shall serve to return the holder
to the same position, other than for substitution of the obligor, it would have
occupied had no default, acceleration or subordination occurred; except that any
interest and principal previously due, other than by reason of acceleration, and
not paid shall, in the absence of a contrary agreement by the holder of this
Subordinated Term Note, be deemed to be immediately due and payable as of the
date of such transfer and assumption, together with the interest from its
original due date at the rate provided for herein.

    

    If this
Subordinated Term Note ceases to be deemed to be Tier 2 Capital of the Borrower
in accordance with the rules and regulations of the FDIC applicable to the
capital status of the subordinated debt of state chartered, non-member banks,
other than due to the limitations imposed by the second sentence of 12 C.F.R
Part 325A(I)(A)(2)(e), which limits the capital treatment of subordinated debt
during the five years immediately preceding the maturity date of the
subordinated debt, the Borrower shall: (a) immediately notify the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders; and (b) immediately upon the request of the
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders execute and deliver all such
agreements (including without limitation a replacement note for this
Subordinated Term Note) as the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may
request in order to restructure the obligation evidenced hereby as a senior
obligation of the Borrower.  If the Borrower fails to execute such
agreements as requested within 30 days of such request, such failure shall be
deemed to be an Event of Default as provided in Section 6.1 of the
Credit Agreement.

    

    By accepting this Subordinated Term
Note, the Lender agrees that, so long as this Subordinated Term Note is deemed
to be Tier 2 Capital, other than due to the limitation imposed by the second
sentence of 12 C.F.R. Part 325, App. A(I)(A)(2)(e), it waives its right to
exercise any set-off or other right to appropriate and to apply any deposits or
other assets of the Borrower at any time held by such Lender against or on
account of amounts owing hereunder to such Lender.

    

    All Loans evidenced by this
Subordinated Term Note and all payments and prepayments of the principal hereof
and the date thereof shall be endorsed by the holder hereof on the schedule
attached hereto and made a part hereof or on a continuation thereof which shall
be attached hereto and made a part hereof, or otherwise recorded by such holder
in its internal records; provided, that the
failure of the holder hereof to make such a notation or any error in such
notation shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower to make the payments
of principal and interest in accordance with the terms of this Subordinated Term
Note and the Credit Agreement.

    

    Notwithstanding
anything herein or in the Credit Agreement to the contrary, this Subordinated
Term Note is not subject to any sinking fund.

    

    This Subordinated Term Note is issued
in connection with, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Credit Agreement
which, among other things, contains provisions for the acceleration of the
maturity hereof upon the happening of certain events, for prepayment of the
principal hereof prior to the maturity hereof and for the amendment or waiver of
certain provisions of the Credit Agreement, all upon the terms and conditions
therein specified.  THIS SUBORDINATED TERM NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS) AND ANY APPLICABLE LAWS OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA.
