Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

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

     The purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the terms and conditions of the purchase by
the Investor of the Purchased Securities. Except to the extent supplemented or superseded by the
terms set forth herein or in the Schedules hereto, the provisions contained in the Securities
Purchase Agreement — Standard Terms attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Securities Purchase
Agreement”) are incorporated by reference herein. Terms that are defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement are used in this letter agreement as so defined. In the event of any inconsistency
between this letter agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, the terms of this letter
agreement shall govern.

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

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

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

Article I

     1.1 Purchase. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the

Sections 2.2(h) through (v) (disregarding all qualifications or limitations set forth in
such representations and warranties as to “materiality”, “Company Material Adverse Effect”
and words of similar import) shall be true and correct as though made on and as of the
Closing Date (other than representations and warranties that by their terms speak as of
another date, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such
other date), except to the extent that the failure of such representations and warranties
referred to in this Section 1 .2(d)(i)(A)(z) to be so true and correct, individually or in
the aggregate, does not have and would not reasonably be expected to have a Company Material
Adverse Effect and (B) the Company shall have performed in all material respects all
obligations required to be performed by it under this Agreement at or prior to the Closing;

     (ii) the Investor shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of the Company by

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

accepted;

     (iv) (A) the Company shall have effected such changes to its compensation, bonus,
incentive and other benefit plans, arrangements and agreements (including golden parachute,
severance and employment agreements) (collectively, “Benefit Plans”) with respect to its

enforceable, each of its Senior Executive Officers shall have duly consented in writing to
such changes), as may be necessary, during the period that the Investor owns any debt or
equity securities of the Company acquired pursuant to this Agreement or the Warrant, in

(“EESA”) as implemented by guidance or regulation thereunder that has been issued and is in

     (v) each of the Company’s Senior Executive Officers shall have delivered to the
Investor a written waiver in the form attached hereto as Annex B releasing the
Investor from any claims that such Senior Executive Officers may otherwise have as a result
of the issuance, on or prior to the Closing Date, of any regulations which require the
modification of, and the agreement of the Company hereunder to modify, the terms of any
Benefit Plans with respect to its Senior Executive Officers to eliminate any provisions of
such Benefit Plans that would not be in compliance with the requirements of Section 111(b)
of the EESA as implemented by guidance or regulation thereunder that has been issued and is

attached hereto as Annex D and delivered such executed Warrant to the Investor or
its designee(s).

     1.3 Interpretation. When a reference is made in this Agreement to “Recitals,” “Articles,”
“Sections,” or “Annexes” such reference shall be to a Recital, Article or Section of, or Annex to,
this Securities Purchase Agreement — Standard Terms, and a reference to “Schedules” shall be to a
Schedule to the Letter Agreement, in each case, unless otherwise indicated. The terms defined in
the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa. References to
“herein”, “hereof”, “hereunder” and the like refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any
particular section or provision, unless the context requires otherwise. The table of contents and
headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this
Agreement. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they
shall be deemed followed by the

3

 

words “without limitation.” No rule of construction against the draftsperson shall be applied in
connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, as this Agreement is the
product of negotiation between sophisticated parties advised by counsel. All references to “$” or
“dollars” mean the lawful currency of the United States of America. Except as expressly stated in
this Agreement, all references to any statute, rule or regulation are to the statute, rule or
regulation as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time (and, in the case of
statutes, include any rules and regulations promulgated under the statute) and to any section of
any statute, rule or regulation include any successor to the section. References to a “business
day” shall mean any day except Saturday, Sunday and any day on which banking institutions in the
State of New York generally are authorized or required by law or other governmental actions to
close.

Article II

Representations and Warranties

     2.1 Disclosure.

     (a) “Company Material Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on (i) the business,
results of operation or financial condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken
as a whole; provided, however, that Company Material Adverse Effect shall not be deemed to include
the effects of (A) changes after the date of the Letter Agreement (the “Signing Date”) in general
business, economic or market conditions (including changes generally in prevailing interest rates,
credit availability and liquidity, currency exchange rates and price levels or trading volumes in
the United States or foreign securities or credit markets), or any outbreak or escalation of
hostilities, declared or undeclared acts of war or terrorism, in each case generally affecting the
industries in which the Company and its subsidiaries operate, (B) changes or proposed changes after
the Signing Date in generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) or
regulatory accounting requirements, or authoritative interpretations thereof, (C) changes or
proposed changes after the Signing Date in securities, banking and other laws of general
applicability or related policies or interpretations of Governmental Entities (in the case of each
of these clauses (A), (B) and (C), other than changes or occurrences to the extent that such
changes or occurrences have or would reasonably be expected to have a materially disproportionate
adverse effect on the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries taken as a whole relative to
comparable U.S. banking or financial services organizations), or (D) changes in the market price or
trading volume of the Common Stock or any other equity, equity-related or debt securities of the
Company or its consolidated subsidiaries (it being understood and agreed that the exception set
forth in this clause (D) does not apply to the underlying reason giving rise to or contributing to
any such change); or (ii) the ability of the Company to consummate the Purchase and the other
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Warrant and perform its obligations hereunder
or thereunder on a timely basis.

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

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

4

 

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

     (b) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company, and the outstanding
capital stock of the Company (including securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable
for, capital stock of the Company) as of the most recent fiscal month-end preceding the Signing
Date (the “Capitalization Date”) is set forth on Schedule B. The outstanding shares of
capital stock of the Company have been duly authorized and are validly issued and outstanding,
fully paid and nonassessable, and subject to no preemptive rights (and were not issued in violation
of any preemptive rights). Except as provided in the Warrant, as of the Signing Date, the Company
does not have outstanding any securities or other obligations providing the holder the right to
acquire Common Stock that is not reserved for issuance as specified on Schedule B, and the
Company has not made any other commitment to authorize, issue or sell any Common Stock. Since the
Capitalization Date, the Company has not issued any shares of Common Stock, other than (i) shares
issued upon the exercise of stock options or delivered under other equity-based awards or other
convertible securities or warrants which were issued and outstanding on the Capitalization Date and
disclosed on Schedule B and (ii) shares disclosed on Schedule B.

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

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

     (e) Authorization, Enforceability.

5

 

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

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

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

     (f) Anti-takeover Provisions and Rights Plan. The Board of Directors of the Company
(the “Board of Directors”) has taken all necessary action to ensure that the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the Warrant and the consummation of the

6

 

transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the exercise of the Warrant in
accordance with its terms, will be exempt from any anti-takeover or similar provisions of the
Company’s Charter and bylaws, and any other provisions of any applicable “moratorium”, “control
share”, “fair price”, “interested stockholder” or other anti-takeover laws and regulations of any
jurisdiction. The Company has taken all actions necessary to render any stockholders’ rights plan
of the Company inapplicable to this Agreement and the Warrant and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the exercise of the Warrant by the Investor
in accordance with its terms.

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

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

     (i) Reports.

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

7

 

any respect to make the certifications required of him or her under Section 302 or 906
of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

     (ii) The records, systems, controls, data and information of the Company and the
Company Subsidiaries are recorded, stored, maintained and operated under means (including
any electronic, mechanical or photographic process, whether computerized or not) that are
under the exclusive ownership and direct control of the Company or the Company Subsidiaries
or their accountants (including all means of access thereto and therefrom), except for any
non-exclusive ownership and non-direct control that would not reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on the system of internal accounting controls described below in
this Section 2.2(i)(ii). The Company (A) has implemented and maintains disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Rule 1 3a- 15(e) of the Exchange Act) to ensure that material
information relating to the Company, including the consolidated Company Subsidiaries, is
made known to the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer of the Company by
others within those entities, and (B) has disclosed, based on its most recent evaluation
prior to the Signing Date, to the Company’s outside auditors and the audit committee of the
Board of Directors (x) any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or
operation of internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the
Exchange Act) that are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to
record, process, summarize and report financial information and (y) any fraud, whether or
not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the
Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

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

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

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

8

 

     (m) Compliance with Laws. Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate,
reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries have all permits, licenses, franchises, authorizations, orders and approvals of, and
have made all filings, applications and registrations with, Governmental Entities that are required
in order to permit them to own or lease their properties and assets and to carry on their business
as presently conducted and that are material to the business of the Company or such Company
Subsidiary. Except as set forth on Schedule E, the Company and the Company Subsidiaries
have complied in all respects and are not in default or violation of, and none of them is, to the
knowledge of the Company, under investigation with respect to or, to the knowledge of the Company,
have been threatened to be charged with or given notice of any violation of, any applicable
domestic (federal, state or local) or foreign law, statute, ordinance, license, rule, regulation,
policy or guideline, order, demand, writ, injunction, decree or judgment of any Governmental
Entity, other than such noncompliance, defaults or violations that would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. Except for
statutory or regulatory restrictions of general application or as set forth on Schedule E,
no Governmental Entity has placed any restriction on the business or properties of the Company or
any Company Subsidiary that would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a Company Material Adverse Effect.

     (n) Employee Benefit Matters. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have,
either individually or in the aggregate, a Company Material Adverse Effect: (A) each “employee
benefit plan” (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) providing benefits to any current or former employee, officer or
director of the Company or any member of its “Controlled Group” (defined as any organization which
is a member of a controlled group of corporations within the meaning of Section 414 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”)) that is sponsored, maintained or contributed to by
the Company or any member of its Controlled Group and for which the Company or any member of its
Controlled Group would have any liability, whether actual or contingent (each, a “Plan”) has been
maintained in compliance with its terms and with the requirements of all applicable statutes, rules
and regulations, including ERISA and the Code; (B) with respect to each Plan subject to Title IV of
ERISA (including, for purposes of this clause (B), any plan subject to Title IV of ERISA that the
Company or any member of its Controlled Group previously maintained or contributed to in the six
years prior to the Signing Date), (1) no “reportable event” (within the meaning of Section 4043(c)
of ERISA), other than a reportable event for which the notice period referred to in Section 4043(c)
of ERISA has been waived, has occurred in the three years prior to the Signing Date or is
reasonably expected to occur, (2) no “accumulated funding deficiency” (within the meaning of
Section 302 of ERISA or Section 412 of the Code), whether or not waived, has occurred in the three
years prior to the Signing Date or is reasonably expected to occur, (3) the fair market value of
the assets under each Plan exceeds the present value of all benefits accrued under such Plan
(determined based on the assumptions used to fund such Plan) and (4) neither the Company nor any
member of its Controlled Group has incurred in the six years prior to the Signing Date, or
reasonably expects to incur, any liability under Title IV of ERISA (other than contributions to the
Plan or premiums to the PBGC in the ordinary course and without default) in respect of a Plan
(including any Plan that is a “multiemployer plan”, within the meaning of Section 4001(c)(3) of
ERISA); and (C) each Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has
received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service with respect to its
qualified status that has not been revoked, or such a determination letter has been timely applied
for but not received by the Signing Date, and nothing has occurred,

9

 

whether by action or by failure to act, which could reasonably be expected to cause the loss,
revocation or denial of such qualified status or favorable determination letter.

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

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

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

     (i) there is no legal, administrative, or other proceeding, claim or action of any
nature seeking to impose, or that would reasonably be expected to result in the imposition
of, on the Company or any Company Subsidiary, any liability relating to the release of
hazardous substances as defined under any local, state or federal environmental statute,
regulation or ordinance, including the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation
and Liability Act of 1980, pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against the
Company or any Company Subsidiary;

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

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

     (r) Risk Management Instruments. Except as would not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, all derivative
instruments, including, swaps, caps, floors and option agreements, whether entered into for the
Company’s own account, or for the account of one or more of the Company Subsidiaries or its or
their customers, were entered into (i) only in the ordinary course of business, (ii) in accordance
with prudent practices and in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations
and regulatory policies and (iii) with counterparties believed to be financially responsible at the
time; and each of such instruments constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of the
Company or one of the Company Subsidiaries, enforceable in accordance

10

 

with its terms, except as may be limited by the Bankruptcy Exceptions. Neither the Company or
the Company Subsidiaries, nor, to the knowledge of the Company, any other party thereto, is in
breach of any of its obligations under any such agreement or arrangement other than such breaches
that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material
Adverse Effect.

     (s) Agreements with Regulatory Agencies. Except as set forth on Schedule F,
neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary is subject to any material cease-and-desist or other
similar order or enforcement action issued by, or is a party to any material written agreement,
consent agreement or memorandum of understanding with, or is a party to any commitment letter or
similar undertaking to, or is subject to any capital directive by, or since December 31, 2006, has
adopted any board resolutions at the request of, any Governmental Entity (other than the
Appropriate Federal Banking Agencies with jurisdiction over the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries) that currently restricts in any material respect the conduct of its business or that
in any material manner relates to its capital adequacy, its liquidity and funding policies and
practices, its ability to pay dividends, its credit, risk management or compliance policies or
procedures, its internal controls, its management or its operations or business (each item in this
sentence, a “Regulatory Agreement”), nor has the Company or any Company Subsidiary been advised
since December 31, 2006 by any such Governmental Entity that it is considering issuing, initiating,
ordering, or requesting any such Regulatory Agreement. The Company and each Company Subsidiary are
in compliance in all material respects with each Regulatory Agreement to which it is party or
subject, and neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has received any notice from any
Governmental Entity indicating that either the Company or any Company Subsidiary is not in
compliance in all material respects with any such Regulatory Agreement. “Appropriate Federal
Banking Agency” means the “appropriate Federal banking agency” with respect to the Company or such
Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, as defined in Section 3(q) of the Federal Deposit Insurance
Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1813(q)).

     (t) Insurance. The Company and the Company Subsidiaries are insured with reputable
insurers against such risks and in such amounts as the management of the Company reasonably has
determined to be prudent and consistent with industry practice. The Company and the Company
Subsidiaries are in material compliance with their insurance policies and are not in default under
any of the material terms thereof, each such policy is outstanding and in full force and effect,
all premiums and other payments due under any material policy have been paid, and all claims
thereunder have been filed in due and timely fashion, except, in each case, as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect.

reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect, (i) the Company and each Company
Subsidiary owns or otherwise has the right to use, all intellectual property rights, including all
trademarks, trade dress, trade names, service marks, domain names, patents, inventions, trade
secrets, know-how, works of authorship and copyrights therein, that are used in the conduct of
their existing businesses and all rights relating to the plans, design and specifications of any of
its branch facilities (“Proprietary Rights”) free and clear of all liens and any claims of
ownership by current or former employees, contractors, designers or others and (ii) neither the
Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries is materially infringing, diluting, misappropriating or
violating, nor has the Company or any or the Company Subsidiaries received any written (or, to the
knowledge of the Company, oral) communications alleging that any of them has materially infringed,
diluted, misappropriated or violated, any of the Proprietary Rights owned by any other person.
Except as would not,

11

 

individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse
Effect, to the Company’s knowledge, no other person is infringing, diluting, misappropriating or
violating, nor has the Company or any or the Company Subsidiaries sent any written communications
since January 1, 2006 alleging that any person has infringed, diluted, misappropriated or violated,
any of the Proprietary Rights owned by the Company and the Company Subsidiaries.

     (v) Brokers and Finders. No broker, finder or investment banker is entitled to any
financial advisory, brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission in connection with this
Agreement or the Warrant or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby based upon arrangements
made by or on behalf of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for which the Investor could have any
liability.

Article III

Covenants

     3.1 Commercially Reasonable Efforts.

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

     (b) If the Company is required to obtain any stockholder approvals set forth on Schedule
C, then the Company shall comply with this Section 3.1(b) and Section 3.1(c). The Company shall
call a special meeting of its stockholders, as promptly as practicable following the Closing, to
vote on proposals (collectively, the “Stockholder Proposals”) to (i) approve the exercise of the
Warrant for Common Stock for purposes of the rules of the national security exchange on which the
Common Stock is listed and/or (ii) amend the Company’s Charter to increase the number of authorized
shares of Common Stock to at least such number as shall be sufficient to permit the full exercise
of the Warrant for Common Stock and comply with the other provisions of this Section 3.1(b) and
Section 3.1(c). The Board of Directors shall recommend to the Company’s stockholders that such
stockholders vote in favor of the Stockholder Proposals. In connection with such meeting, the
Company shall prepare (and the Investor will reasonably cooperate with the Company to prepare) and
file with the SEC as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than ten business days after the
Closing) a preliminary proxy statement, shall use its reasonable best efforts to respond to any
comments of the SEC or its staff thereon and to cause a definitive proxy statement related to such
stockholders’ meeting to be mailed to the Company’s stockholders not more than five business days
after clearance thereof by the SEC, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to solicit proxies
for such stockholder approval of the Stockholder Proposals. The Company shall notify the Investor
promptly of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or its staff with respect to the proxy
statement and of any request by the SEC or its staff for amendments or supplements to such proxy
statement or for additional information and will supply the Investor with copies of all
correspondence between the Company or any of its representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or
its staff, on the other hand, with respect to such proxy statement. If at any time prior to such
stockholders’ meeting there shall occur any event that is required to be set forth in an amendment
or supplement to the proxy statement, the Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare and mail
to its stockholders such an amendment or supplement. Each of the Investor and the Company agrees
promptly to correct

12

 

any information provided by it or on its behalf for use in the proxy statement if and to the
extent that such information shall have become false or misleading in any material respect, and the
Company shall as promptly as practicable prepare and mail to its stockholders an amendment or
supplement to correct such information to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations.
The Company shall consult with the Investor prior to filing any proxy statement, or any amendment
or supplement thereto, and provide the Investor with a reasonable opportunity to comment thereon.
In the event that the approval of any of the Stockholder Proposals is not obtained at such special
stockholders meeting, the Company shall include a proposal to approve (and the Board of Directors
shall recommend approval of) each such proposal at a meeting of its stockholders no less than once
in each subsequent six- month period beginning on January 1, 2009 until all such approvals are
obtained or made.

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

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

     3.3 Sufficiency of Authorized Common Stock; Exchange Listing.

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

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

     3.4 Certain Notifications Until Closing. From the Signing Date until the Closing, the
Company shall promptly notify the Investor of (i) any fact, event or circumstance of which it is
aware and which would reasonably be expected to cause any representation or warranty of the Company
contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect or to cause any
covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement not to be complied with or
satisfied in any material respect and (ii) except as Previously Disclosed, any fact, circumstance,
event, change, occurrence, condition or

13

 

development of which the Company is aware and which, individually or in the aggregate, has had
or would reasonably be expected to have a Company Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that
delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall not limit or affect any rights of or
remedies available to the Investor; provided, further, that a failure to comply with this Section
3.4 shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement or the failure of any condition set forth in
Section 1.2 to be satisfied unless the underlying Company Material Adverse Effect or material
breach would independently result in the failure of a condition set forth in Section 1.2 to be
satisfied.

     3.5 Access, Information and Confidentiality.

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

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

REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH IS THEN EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (B) FOR SO LONG AS
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE
144A, TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN
RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF
A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN
RELIANCE ON RULE 144A, (C) TO THE ISSUER OR (D) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION
FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL GIVE
TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE TRANSFERRED A
NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND.”

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

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

     4.4 Transfer of Purchased Securities and Warrant Shares; Restrictions on Exercise of the
Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, the Investor shall be
permitted to transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of (“Transfer”) all or a portion of the
Purchased Securities or Warrant Shares at any time, and the Company shall take all steps as may
be reasonably requested by the Investor to facilitate the Transfer of the Purchased Securities
and the Warrant Shares; provided that the Investor shall not Transfer a portion or portions of
the Warrant with respect to, and/or exercise the Warrant for, more than one-half of the Initial
Warrant Shares (as such number may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 13 thereof)
in the aggregate until the earlier of (a) the date on which the Company (or any successor by
Business Combination) has received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than the Purchase Price
(and the purchase price paid by the Investor to any such successor for securities of such
successor purchased under the CPP) from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (including
Qualified Equity Offerings of such successor) and (b) December 31, 2009. “Qualified Equity
Offering” means the sale and issuance for cash by

16

 

the Company to persons other than the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries after the
Closing Date of shares of perpetual Preferred Stock, Common Stock or any combination of such
stock, that, in each case, qualify as and may be included in Tier 1 capital of the Company at the
time of issuance under the applicable risk-based capital guidelines of the Company’s Appropriate
Federal Banking Agency (other than any such sales and issuances made pursuant to agreements or
arrangements entered into, or pursuant to financing plans which were publicly announced, on or
prior to October 13,
2008). “Business Combination” means a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or
similar transaction that requires the approval of the Company’s stockholders.

     4.5 Registration Rights.

     (a) Registration.

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

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

17

 

Holders shall consider the qualifications of any broker-dealer Affiliate of the Company
in selecting the lead underwriters in any such distribution.

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

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

     (v) If the registration referred to in Section 4.5(a)(iv) is proposed to be
underwritten, the Company will so advise Investor and all other Holders as a part of the
written notice given pursuant to Section 4. 5(a)(iv). In such event, the right of Investor
and all other Holders to registration pursuant to Section 4.5(a) will be conditioned upon
such persons’ participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such person’s
Registrable Securities in the underwriting if such securities are of the same class of
securities as the securities to be offered in the underwritten offering, and each such
person will (together with the Company and the other persons distributing their securities
through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company; provided that the
Investor (as opposed to other Holders) shall not be required to indemnify any person in
connection with any registration. If any participating person disapproves of the terms of
the underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the
Company, the managing underwriters and the Investor (if the Investor is participating in the
underwriting).

18

 

     (vi) If either (x) the Company grants “piggyback” registration rights to one or more
third parties to include their securities in an underwritten offering under the Shelf
Registration Statement pursuant to Section 4 .5(a) (ii) or (y) a Piggyback Registration
under Section 4.5(a)(iv) relates to an underwritten offering on behalf of the Company, and
in either case the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable opinion
the number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number which
can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an
adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Company will include in such offering
only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriters
can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an
adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the
following order of priority: (A) first, in the case of a Piggyback Registration under
Section 4.5(a)(iv), the securities the Company proposes to sell, (B) then the Registrable
Securities of the Investor and all other Holders who have requested inclusion of Registrable
Securities pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii) or Section 4.5(a)(iv), as applicable, pro rata on
the basis of the aggregate number of such securities or shares owned by each such person and
(C) lastly, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included,
subject to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Company has, prior to
the Signing Date, entered into an agreement with respect to its securities that is
inconsistent with the order of priority contemplated hereby then it shall apply the order of
priority in such conflicting agreement to the extent that it would otherwise result in a
breach under such agreement.

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

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

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

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

19

 

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

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

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

     (vi) Give written notice to the Holders:

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

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

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

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

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

20

 

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

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

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

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

     (x) If an underwritten offering is requested pursuant to Section 4.5(a)(ii), enter into
an underwriting agreement in customary form, scope and substance and take all such other
actions reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities
being sold in connection therewith or by the managing underwriter(s), if any, to expedite or
facilitate the underwritten disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in connection
therewith in any underwritten offering (including making members of management and
executives of the Company available to participate in “road shows”, similar sales events and
other marketing activities), (A) make such representations and warranties to the Holders
that are selling stockholders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, with respect to the
business of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the Shelf Registration Statement,
prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
therein, in each case, in customary form, substance and scope, and, if true, confirm the
same if and when requested, (B) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish the underwriters
with opinions of counsel to the Company, addressed to the managing underwriter(s), if any,
covering the matters customarily covered in such opinions requested in underwritten
offerings, (C) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters from the
independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other
independent certified public accountants of any business acquired by the Company for which
financial statements and financial data are included in the Shelf Registration Statement)
who have certified the financial statements included in such Shelf Registration Statement,
addressed to each of the managing underwriter(s), if any, such letters to be in customary
form and covering matters of the type customarily covered

21

 

in “cold comfort” letters, (D) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same
shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures customary in underwritten offerings
(provided that the Investor shall not be obligated to provide any indemnity), and (E)
deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a
majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith, their counsel and
the managing underwriter(s), if any, to evidence the continued validity of the
representations and warranties made pursuant to clause (i) above and to evidence compliance
with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement
entered into by the Company.

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

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

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

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

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

22

 

such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement covering
such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. The total number of days
that any such suspension may be in effect in any 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days.

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

     (f) Furnishing Information.

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

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

     (g) Indemnification.

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

23

 

contained therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto, or (B) offers or sales
effected by or on behalf of such Indemnitee “by means of” (as defined in Rule 1 59A) a “free
writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the
Company.

     (ii) If the indemnification provided for in Section 4.5(g)(i) is unavailable to an
Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or
expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the Indemnitee harmless as
contemplated therein, then the Company, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses,
claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the
Company, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in
such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other
relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and
of the Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other
factors, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Indemnitee and the parties’
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such
statement or omission; the Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 4.5(g)(ii) were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in Section 4.5(g)(i). No Indemnitee guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from the Company if the Company was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation.

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

     (i) Clear Market. With respect to any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities
by the Investor or other Holders pursuant to this Section 4.5, the Company agrees not to effect
(other than pursuant to such registration or pursuant to a Special Registration) any public sale or
distribution, or to file any Shelf Registration Statement (other than such registration or a
Special Registration) covering, in the case of an underwritten offering of Common Stock or
Warrants, any of its equity securities or, in the case of an underwritten offering of Preferred
Shares, any Preferred Stock of the Company, or, in each case, any securities convertible into or
exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the

24

 

period not to exceed ten days prior and 60 days following the effective date of such offering
or such longer period up to 90 days as may be requested by the managing underwriter for such
underwritten offering. The Company also agrees to cause such of its directors and senior executive
officers to execute and deliver customary lock-up agreements in such form and for such time period
up to 90 days as may be requested by the managing underwriter. “Special Registration” means the
registration of (A) equity securities and/or options or other rights in respect thereof solely
registered on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or successor form) or (B) shares of equity securities and/or
options or other rights in respect thereof to be offered to directors, members of management,
employees, consultants, customers, lenders or vendors of the Company or Company Subsidiaries or in
connection with dividend reinvestment plans.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

such rights shall nonetheless be entitled to participate under Section 4.5(a)(iv) — (vi) in any
Pending Underwritten Offering to the same extent that such Holder would have been entitled to if

Investor and the Holders under this Section 4.5 or that otherwise conflicts with the provisions
hereof in any manner that may impair the rights granted to the Investor and the Holders under this
Section 4.5. In the event the Company has, prior to the Signing Date, entered into any agreement
with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Investor and the
Holders under this Section 4.5 (including agreements that are inconsistent with the order of
priority contemplated by Section 4.5(a)(vi)) or that may otherwise conflict with the provisions
hereof, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to amend such agreements to ensure they
are consistent with the provisions of this Section 4.5.

     (o) Certain Offerings by the Investor. In the case of any securities held by the
Investor that cease to be Registrable Securities solely by reason of clause (2) in the definition
of “Registrable Securities,” the provisions of Sections 4.5(a)(ii), clauses (iv), (ix) and
(x)-(xii) of Section 4.5(c), Section 4.5(g) and Section 4.5(i) shall continue to apply until such

offering or other disposition shall include any distribution of such securities on behalf of the
Investor by one or more broker-dealers, an “underwriting agreement” shall include any purchase
agreement entered into by such broker-dealers, and any “registration statement” or “prospectus”

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

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

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

     4.8 Restriction on Dividends and Repurchases.

27

 

     (a) Prior to the earlier of (x) the third anniversary of the Closing Date and (y) the date on

any Company Subsidiary shall, without the consent of the Investor:

     (i) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on the Common Stock (other

on the Common Stock prior to October 14, 2008, as adjusted for any stock split, stock
dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar transaction, (B) dividends
payable solely in shares of Common Stock and (C) dividends or distributions of rights or

of shares of Common Stock or other Junior Stock, in each case in this clause (B) in
connection with the administration of any employee benefit plan in the ordinary course of
business (including purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount (as defined below)
pursuant to a publicly announced repurchase plan) and consistent with past practice;
provided that any purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount shall in no event exceed the
Share Dilution Amount, (C) purchases or other acquisitions by a broker-dealer subsidiary of
the Company solely for the purpose of market-making, stabilization or customer facilitation
transactions in Junior Stock or Parity Stock in the ordinary course of its business, (D)
purchases by a broker-dealer subsidiary of the Company of capital stock of the Company for
resale pursuant to an offering by the Company of such capital stock underwritten by such
broker-dealer subsidiary, (E) any redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant to any
stockholders’ rights plan, (F) the acquisition by the Company or any of the Company

or into other Junior Stock or of Parity Stock or trust preferred securities for or into
other Parity Stock (with the same or lesser aggregate liquidation amount) or Junior Stock,

contractual agreements entered into prior to the Signing Date or any subsequent agreement
for the accelerated exercise, settlement or exchange thereof for Common Stock (clauses (C)
and (F), collectively, the “Permitted Repurchases”). “Share Dilution Amount” means the
increase in the number of diluted shares outstanding (determined in accordance with GAAP,
and as measured from the date of the Company’s most recently filed Company Financial
Statements prior to the Closing Date) resulting from the grant, vesting or exercise of
equity-based compensation to employees and equitably adjusted for any stock split, stock
dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar transaction.

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

28

 

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

     4.9 Repurchase of Investor Securities.

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

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

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

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

     (ii) “Fair Market Value” means, with respect to any security, the fair market value of
such security as determined by the Board of Directors, acting in good faith in reliance on
an opinion of a nationally recognized independent investment banking firm retained by the
Company for this purpose and certified in a resolution to the Investor. If the Investor does
not agree with the Board of Director’s determination,

29

 

it may object in writing within 10
days of receipt of the Board of Director’s determination. In the event of such an objection,
an authorized representative of the Investor and the chief executive officer of the Company
shall promptly meet to resolve the objection and to agree upon the Fair Market Value. If the
chief executive officer and the authorized representative are unable to agree on the Fair
Market Value during the 10-day period following the delivery of the Investor’s objection,
the Appraisal Procedure may be invoked by either party to determine the Fair Market Value by
delivery of a written notification thereof not later than the 30th day after
delivery of the Investor’s objection.

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

payable to holders of record of Designated Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of
the Corporation on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15th calendar day immediately
preceding such Dividend Payment Date or such other record date fixed by the Board of Directors or
any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors that is not more than 60 nor less than 10
days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a “Dividend Record Date”). Any such day
that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a
Business Day.

     Holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether
payable in cash, securities or other property, other than dividends (if any) declared and
payable on Designated Preferred Stock as specified in this Section 3 (subject to the other
provisions of the Certificate of Designations).

     (b) Priority of Dividends. So long as any share of Designated Preferred Stock
remains outstanding, no dividend or distribution shall be declared or paid on the Common Stock or
any other shares of Junior Stock (other than dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock)
or Parity Stock, subject to the immediately following paragraph in the case of Parity Stock, and
no Common Stock, Junior Stock or Parity Stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased,
redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries
unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest
completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends
on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock have been or are
contemporaneously declared and paid in full (or have been declared and a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof has been set aside for the benefit of the holders of shares of Designated
Preferred Stock on the applicable record date). The foregoing limitation shall not apply to (i)
redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of shares of Common Stock or other Junior Stock in
connection with the administration of any employee benefit plan in the ordinary course of business
(including purchases to offset the Share Dilution Amount (as defined below) pursuant to a publicly
announced repurchase plan) and consistent with past practice, provided that any purchases to
offset the Share Dilution Amount shall in no event exceed the Share Dilution Amount; (ii)
purchases or other acquisitions by a broker-dealer subsidiary of the Corporation solely for the
purpose of market-making, stabilization or customer facilitation transactions in Junior Stock or
Parity Stock in the ordinary course of its business; (iii) purchases by a broker- dealer
subsidiary of the Corporation of capital stock of the Corporation for resale pursuant to an

3

 

offering by the Corporation of such capital stock underwritten by such broker-dealer subsidiary; (iv) any dividends or distributions of rights or Junior Stock in connection with a stockholders’
rights plan or any redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant to any stockholders’ rights plan; (v) the acquisition by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries of record ownership in Junior Stock or Parity Stock for the beneficial ownership of any other persons (other than the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries), including as trustees or custodians; and (vi) the exchange or conversion of Junior Stock for or into other Junior Stock or of Parity Stock for or into other Parity Stock (with
 the same or lesser aggregate liquidation amount) or Junior Stock, in each case, solely to the extent required pursuant to binding contractual agreements entered into prior to the Signing Date or any subsequent agreement for the accelerated exercise, settlement or exchange thereof for Common Stock.
“Share Dilution Amount” means the increase in the number of diluted shares outstanding (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, and as measured from
the date of the Corporation’s consolidated financial statements most recently filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission prior to the Original Issue Date) resulting from the grant, vesting or exercise of equity-based compensation to employees and equitably adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split, reclassification or similar transaction.

     When dividends are not paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for payment thereof set aside for the benefit of the holders thereof on the applicable record date) on any Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within a Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) in full upon
Designated Preferred Stock and any shares of Parity Stock, all dividends declared on Designated Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock and payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such dividends declared shall bear the same ratio to each other as all
accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) and all Parity Stock payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) (subject to their having been declared by the Board of
Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and including, in the case of Parity Stock that bears cumulative dividends, all accrued but unpaid dividends) bear to each other. If the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors determines not to pay any dividend or a full dividend on a Dividend Payment Date, the Corporation will provide written notice to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock prior to such Dividend Payment Date.

     Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends (payable in cash, securities or other property) as may be determined by the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors may be declared and paid on any securities, including Common Stock and other Junior Stock, from time to time out of any funds legally available for such payment, and holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall
 not be entitled to participate in any such dividends.

     Section 4. Liquidation Rights.

     (a) Voluntary or Involuntary Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary,
holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive for each share of Designated
Preferred Stock, out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof (whether capital or
surplus) available for distribution to stockholders of the Corporation, subject to the rights of
any creditors of the Corporation, before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or
set aside for the holders of Common Stock and any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to
Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution, payment in full in an amount equal to the sum
of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends
(including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), whether or
not declared, to the date of payment (such amounts collectively, the “Liquidation
Preference”).

     (b) Partial Payment. If in any distribution described in Section 4(a) above the
assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay in full the amounts
payable with respect to all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock and the
corresponding amounts payable with respect of any other stock of the Corporation ranking equally
with Designated Preferred Stock as to such distribution, holders of Designated Preferred Stock
and the holders of such other stock shall share ratably in any such distribution in proportion to
the full respective distributions to which they are entitled.

     (c) Residual Distributions. If the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full to
all holders of Designated Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect of
any other stock of the Corporation ranking equally with Designated Preferred Stock as to such
distribution has been paid in full, the holders of other stock of the Corporation shall be
entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Corporation (or proceeds thereof) according to
their respective rights and preferences.

     (d) Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation. For purposes of this
Section 4, the merger or consolidation of the Corporation with any other corporation or other
entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Designated Preferred Stock
receive cash, securities or other property for their shares, or the sale, lease or exchange (for
cash, securities or other property) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation,
shall not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

     Section 5. Redemption.

     (a) Optional Redemption. Except as provided below, the Designated Preferred Stock
may not be redeemed prior to the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or after the third
anniversary of the Original Issue Date. On or after the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or
after the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Corporation, at its option, subject to
the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, in whole or in part, at any
time and from time to time, out of funds legally available therefor, the shares of Designated
Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section
5(c) below, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and

5

 

(ii) except as otherwise provided below, any accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if
applicable as
provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) (regardless of whether any dividends are
actually declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, prior to the first Dividend Payment Date falling on or after
the third anniversary of the Original Issue Date, the Corporation, at its option, subject to the
approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, in whole or in part, at any time
and from time to time, the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, upon
notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the
Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) except as otherwise provided below, any accrued and unpaid
dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount)
(regardless of whether any dividends are actually declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for
redemption; provided that (x) the Corporation (or any successor by Business Combination) has
received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than the Minimum Amount (plus the “Minimum Amount”
as defined in the relevant certificate of designations for each other outstanding series of
preferred stock of such successor that was originally issued to the United States Department of
the Treasury (the “Successor Preferred Stock”) in connection with the Troubled Asset
Relief Program Capital Purchase Program) from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings (including
Qualified Equity Offerings of such successor), and (y) the aggregate redemption price of the
Designated Preferred Stock (and any Successor Preferred Stock) redeemed pursuant to this paragraph
may not exceed the aggregate net cash proceeds received by the Corporation (or any successor by
Business Combination) from such Qualified Equity Offerings (including Qualified Equity Offerings
of such successor).

     The redemption price for any shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be payable on the
redemption date to the holder of such shares against surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing
such shares to the Corporation or its agent. Any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a
redemption date that occurs subsequent to the Dividend Record Date for a Dividend Period shall not
be paid to the holder entitled to receive the redemption price on the redemption date, but rather
shall be paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on such Dividend Record Date relating
to the Dividend Payment Date as provided in Section 3 above.

     (b) No Sinking Fund. The Designated Preferred Stock will not be subject to any
mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Designated
Preferred Stock will have no right to require redemption or repurchase of any shares of Designated
Preferred Stock.

     (c) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Designated
Preferred Stock shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders
of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books
of the Corporation. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the
date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this Subsection shall be conclusively
presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly
to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder
of shares of Designated Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall
not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of
Designated

6

 

Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Designated
Preferred Stock
are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Corporation or any other similar
facility, notice of redemption may be given to the holders of Designated Preferred Stock at such
time and in any manner permitted by such facility. Each notice of redemption given to a holder
shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the number of shares of Designated Preferred Stock to be
redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of
such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price; and (4) the place or places
where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

     (d) Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of part of the shares of
Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected
either pro rata or in such other manner as the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee
thereof may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of
Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof shall have full power and authority to prescribe
the terms and conditions upon which shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from
time to time. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new
certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the holder
thereof.

     (e) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if
on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption
have been deposited by the Corporation, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the
shares called for redemption, with a bank or trust company doing business in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, and having a capital and surplus of at least $500 million and
selected by the Board of Directors, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor,
then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been
surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on
all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed
outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date
cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on
such redemption from such bank or trust company, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end
of three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the
Corporation, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only
to the Corporation for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

     (f) Status of Redeemed Shares. Shares of Designated Preferred Stock that are
redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall revert to authorized but
unissued shares of Preferred Stock (provided that any such cancelled shares of Designated
Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than
Designated Preferred Stock).

     Section 6. Conversion. Holders of Designated Preferred Stock shares shall have no
right to exchange or convert such shares into any other securities.

     Section 7. Voting Rights.

7

 

     (a) General. The holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not have any voting
rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law.

     (c) Preferred Stock Directors. Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on
the shares of Designated Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of six quarterly
Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors of the
Corporation shall automatically be increased by two and the holders of the Designated Preferred
Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other classes or series of
Voting Parity Stock outstanding at the time, voting together as a class, to elect two directors
(hereinafter the “Preferred Directors” and each
a “Preferred Director”) to fill
such newly created directorships at the Corporation’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or at a
special meeting called for that purpose prior to such next annual meeting) and at each subsequent
annual meeting of stockholders until all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend
Periods, including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in
Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred
Stock have been declared and paid in full at which time such right shall terminate with respect to
the Designated Preferred Stock, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to
revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned;
provided that it shall be a qualification for election for any Preferred Director that the
election of such Preferred Director shall not cause the Corporation to violate any corporate
governance requirements of any securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities
of the Corporation may then be listed or traded that listed or traded companies must have a
majority of independent directors. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of
Designated Preferred Stock and Voting Parity Stock as a class to vote for directors as provided
above, the Preferred Directors shall cease to be qualified as directors, the term of office of all
Preferred Directors then in office shall terminate immediately and the authorized number of
directors shall be reduced by the number of Preferred Directors elected pursuant hereto. Any
Preferred Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and any vacancy created
thereby may be filled, only by the affirmative vote of the holders a majority of the shares of
Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding voting separately as a class together with the
holders of shares of Voting Parity Stock, to the extent the voting rights of such holders
described above are then exercisable. If the office of any Preferred Director becomes vacant for
any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the remaining Preferred Director may
choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy
occurred.

     (d) Class Voting Rights as to Particular Matters. So long as any shares of Designated
Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required
by law or by the Charter, the vote or consent of the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the shares of
Designated Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting as a separate class, given in person or
by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose,
shall be necessary for effecting or validating:

     (i) Authorization of Senior Stock. Any amendment or alteration of the
Certificate of Designations for the Designated Preferred Stock or the Charter to authorize
or create or increase the authorized amount of, or any issuance of, any shares of, or any
securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of, any

8

 

class or
series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking senior to Designated Preferred Stock
with respect to either or both the payment of dividends and/or the distribution of assets
on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

     (ii) Amendment of Designated Preferred Stock. Any amendment, alteration or
repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Designations for the Designated Preferred
Stock or the Charter (including, unless no vote on such merger or consolidation is
required by Section 7(c)(iii) below, any amendment, alteration or repeal by means of a
merger, consolidation or otherwise) so as to adversely affect the rights, preferences,
privileges or voting powers of the Designated Preferred Stock; or

     (iii) Share Exchanges, Reclassifications, Mergers and Consolidations. Any
consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Designated
Preferred Stock, or of a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with another
corporation or other entity, unless in each case (x) the shares of Designated Preferred
Stock remain outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect
to which the Corporation is not the surviving or resulting entity, are converted into or
exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate
parent, and (y) such shares remaining outstanding or such preference securities, as the
case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations
and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the
holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and
limitations and restrictions thereof, of Designated Preferred Stock immediately prior to
such consummation, taken as a whole;

provided, however, that for all purposes of this Section 7(c), any increase in the amount of the
authorized Preferred Stock, including any increase in the authorized amount of Designated
Preferred Stock necessary to satisfy preemptive or similar rights granted by the Corporation to
other persons prior to the Signing Date, or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the
authorized or issued amount, whether pursuant to preemptive or similar rights or otherwise, of
any other series of Preferred Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or
exercisable for any other series of Preferred Stock, ranking equally with and/or junior to
Designated Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are
cumulative or non-cumulative) and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation will not be deemed to adversely affect the rights, preferences,
privileges or voting powers, and shall not require the affirmative vote or consent of, the
holders of outstanding shares of the Designated Preferred Stock.

     (d) Changes after Provision for Redemption. No vote or consent of the holders of
Designated Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section 7(c) above if, at or prior to
the time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such Section, all
outstanding shares of the Designated Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, or shall have
been called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in
trust for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 5 above.

     (e) Procedures for Voting and Consents. The rules and procedures for calling and
conducting any meeting of the holders of Designated Preferred Stock (including, without

9

 

limitation, the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of
proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other aspect or matter with
regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules of the Board of
Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may
adopt from time to time, which rules and procedures shall conform to the requirements of the
Charter, the Bylaws, and applicable law and the rules of any national securities exchange or
other trading facility on which Designated Preferred Stock is listed or traded at the time.

     Section 8. Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
Corporation and the transfer agent for Designated Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record
holder of any share of Designated Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all
purposes, and neither the Corporation nor such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary.

     Section 9. Notices. All notices or communications in respect of Designated Preferred
Stock shall be sufficiently given if given in writing and delivered in person or by first class
mail, postage prepaid, or if given in such other manner as may be permitted in this Certificate of
Designations, in the Charter or Bylaws or by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
shares of Designated Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust
Corporation or any similar facility, such notices may be given to the holders of Designated
Preferred Stock in any manner permitted by such facility.

     Section 10. No Preemptive Rights. No share of Designated Preferred Stock shall have
any rights of preemption whatsoever as to any securities of the Corporation, or any warrants,
rights or options issued or granted with respect thereto, regardless of how such securities, or
such warrants, rights or options, may be designated, issued or granted.

     Section 11. Replacement Certificates. The Corporation shall replace any mutilated
certificate at the holder’s expense upon surrender of that certificate to the Corporation. The
Corporation shall replace certificates that become destroyed, stolen or lost at the holder’s
expense upon delivery to the Corporation of reasonably satisfactory evidence that the certificate
has been destroyed, stolen or lost, together with any indemnity that may be reasonably required
by the Corporation.

     Section 12. Other Rights. The shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall not have any
rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers or relative, participating, optional or other
special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth
herein or in the Charter or as provided by applicable law.

agree on fair market value during the 10-day period following the

Price. The number of shares of Common Stock (the “Shares”) and the Exercise Price are subject to
adjustment as provided herein, and all references to “Common Stock,” “Shares” and “Exercise Price”
herein shall be deemed to include any such adjustment or series of adjustments.

located at the address set forth in Item 7 of Schedule A hereto (or such other office or agency of
the Company in the United States as it may designate by notice in writing to the Warrantholder at
the address of the Warrantholder appearing on the books of the Company), and (B) payment of the
Exercise Price for the Shares thereby purchased:

          (i) by having the Company withhold, from the shares of Common Stock that would otherwise be
delivered to the Warrantholder upon such exercise, shares of Common stock issuable upon exercise of

be entitled to receive from the Company within a reasonable time, and in any event not exceeding
three business days, a new warrant in substantially identical form for the purchase of that number
of Shares equal to the difference between the number of Shares subject to this Warrant and the
number of Shares as to which this Warrant is so exercised. Notwithstanding anything in this
Warrant to the contrary, the Warrantholder hereby acknowledges and agrees that its exercise of
this Warrant for Shares is subject to the condition that the Warrantholder will have first
received any applicable Regulatory Approvals.

     4. Issuance of Shares; Authorization; Listing. Certificates for Shares issued upon
exercise of this Warrant will be issued in such name or names as the Warrantholder may designate

authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges
(other than liens or charges created by the Warrantholder, income and franchise taxes incurred in
connection with the exercise of the Warrant or taxes in respect of any transfer occurring
contemporaneously therewith). The Company agrees that the Shares so issued will be deemed to have
been issued to the Warrantholder as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant and
payment of the Exercise Price are delivered to the Company in accordance with the terms of this
Warrant, notwithstanding that the stock transfer books of the Company may then be closed or
certificates representing such Shares may not be actually delivered on such date. The Company will
at all times reserve and keep available, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, solely
for the purpose of providing for the exercise of this Warrant, the aggregate number of shares of
Common Stock then issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at any time. The Company will (A) procure,
at its sole expense, the listing of the Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at any time,
subject to issuance or notice of issuance, on all principal stock exchanges on which the Common
Stock is then listed or traded and (B) maintain such listings of such Shares at all times after
issuance. The Company will use reasonable best efforts to ensure that the Shares may be issued
without violation of any applicable law or regulation or of any requirement of any securities
exchange on which the Shares are listed or traded.

     5. No Fractional Shares or Scrip. No fractional Shares or scrip representing
fractional Shares shall be issued upon any exercise of this Warrant. In lieu of any fractional
Share to which the Warrantholder would otherwise be entitled, the Warrantholder shall be entitled
to receive a cash payment equal to the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day
preceding the date of exercise less the pro-rated Exercise Price for such fractional share.

     6. No Rights as Stockholders; Transfer Books. This Warrant does not entitle the
Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the

19

 

date of exercise hereof. The Company will at no time close its transfer books against
transfer of this Warrant in any manner which interferes with the timely exercise of this Warrant.

     7. Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of certificates for Shares to the
Warrantholder upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder
for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such
certificates, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company.

     8. Transfer/Assignment.

     (A) Subject to compliance with clause (B) of this Section 8, this Warrant and all rights
hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, upon the books of the Company by the registered
holder hereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, and a new warrant shall be made and
delivered by the Company, of the same tenor and date as this Warrant but registered in the name of
one or more transferees, upon surrender of this Warrant, duly endorsed, to the office or agency of
the Company described in Section 3. All expenses (other than stock transfer taxes) and other
charges payable in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the new warrants
pursuant to this Section 8 shall be paid by the Company.

     (B) The transfer of the Warrant and the Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrant are subject
to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.4 of the Purchase Agreement. If and for so long as
required by the Purchase Agreement, this Warrant shall contain the legends as set forth in Sections
4.2(a) and 4.2(b) of the Purchase Agreement.

     9. Exchange and Registry of Warrant. This Warrant is exchangeable, upon the surrender
hereof by the Warrantholder to the Company, for a new warrant or warrants of like tenor and
representing the right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares. The Company shall maintain
a registry showing the name and address of the Warrantholder as the registered holder of this
Warrant. This Warrant may be surrendered for exchange or exercise in accordance with its terms, at
the office of the Company, and the Company shall be entitled to rely in all respects, prior to
written notice to the contrary, upon such registry.

     10. Loss, Theft, Destruction or Mutilation of Warrant. Upon receipt by the Company of
evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this
Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon receipt of a bond, indemnity
or security reasonably satisfactory to the Company, or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall make and deliver, in lieu of such
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Warrant, a new Warrant of like tenor and representing the
right to purchase the same aggregate number of Shares as provided for in such lost, stolen,
destroyed or mutilated Warrant.

     11. Saturdays, Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of
any action or the expiration of any right required or granted herein shall not be a business day,
then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding day that is a
business day.

20

 

     12. Rule 144 Information. The Company covenants that it will use its reasonable best
efforts to timely file all reports and other documents required to be filed by it under the
Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated by the SEC
thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of
any Warrantholder, make publicly available such information as necessary to permit sales pursuant
to Rule 144 under the Securities Act), and it will use reasonable best efforts to take such
further action as any Warrantholder may reasonably request, in each case to the extent required
from time to time to enable such holder to, if permitted by the terms of this Warrant and the
Purchase Agreement, sell this Warrant without registration under the Securities Act within the
limitation of the exemptions provided by (A) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such rule may
be amended from time to time, or (B) any successor rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the
SEC. Upon the written request of any Warrantholder, the Company will deliver to such Warrantholder
a written statement that it has complied with such requirements.

     13. Adjustments and Other Rights. The Exercise Price and the number of Shares
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as
follows; provided, that if more than one subsection of this Section 13 is applicable to a single
event, the subsection shall be applied that produces the largest adjustment and no single event
shall cause an adjustment under more than one subsection of this Section 13 so as to result in
duplication:

     (A) Stock Splits, Subdivisions, Reclassifications or Combinations. If the Company
shall (i) declare and pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Common Stock in shares of Common
Stock, (ii) subdivide or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of
shares, or (iii) combine or reclassify the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number
of shares, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant at the time of the record
date for such dividend or distribution or the effective date of such subdivision, combination or
reclassification shall be proportionately adjusted so that the Warrantholder after such date shall
be entitled to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock which such holder would have owned or
been entitled to receive in respect of the shares of Common Stock subject to this Warrant after
such date had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such date. In such event, the
Exercise Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or distribution or the
effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification shall be adjusted to the number
obtained by dividing (x) the product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this
Warrant before such adjustment and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the record
or effective date, as the case may be, for the dividend, distribution, subdivision, combination or
reclassification giving rise to this adjustment by (y) the new number of Shares issuable upon
exercise of the Warrant determined pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.

     (B) Certain Issuances of Common Shares or Convertible Securities. Until the earlier of
(i) the date on which the Original Warrantholder no longer holds this Warrant or any portion
thereof and (ii) the third anniversary of the Issue Date, if the Company shall issue shares of
Common Stock (or rights or warrants or other securities exercisable or convertible into or
exchangeable (collectively, a “conversion”) for shares of Common Stock) (collectively, “convertible
securities”) (other than in Permitted Transactions (as defined below) or a

21

 

transaction to which subsection (A) of this Section 13 is applicable) without consideration or
at a consideration per share (or having a conversion price per share) that is less than 90% of the
Market Price on the last trading day preceding the date of the agreement on pricing such shares (or
such convertible securities) then, in such event:

(A) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant immediately
prior to the date of the agreement on pricing of such shares (or of such convertible
securities) (the “Initial Number”) shall be increased to the number obtained by
multiplying the Initial Number by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the
sum of (x) the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on such
date and (y) the number of additional shares of Common Stock issued (or into which
convertible securities may be exercised or convert) and (B) the denominator of which
shall be the sum of (I) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such
date and (II) the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration
receivable by the Company for the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued
(or into which convertible securities may be exercised or convert) would purchase at
the Market Price on the last trading day preceding the date of the agreement on
pricing such shares (or such convertible securities); and

(B) the Exercise Price payable upon exercise of the Warrant shall be adjusted by
multiplying such Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the date of the
agreement on pricing of such shares (or of such convertible securities) by a
fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
issuable upon exercise of this Warrant prior to such date and the denominator of
which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this
Warrant immediately after the adjustment described in clause (A) above.

     For purposes of the foregoing, the aggregate consideration receivable by the Company in
connection with the issuance of such shares of Common Stock or convertible securities shall be
deemed to be equal to the sum of the net offering price (including the Fair Market Value of any
non-cash consideration and after deduction of any related expenses payable to third parties) of all
such securities plus the minimum aggregate amount, if any, payable upon exercise or conversion of
any such convertible securities into shares of Common Stock; and “Permitted Transactions” shall
mean issuances (i) as consideration for or to fund the acquisition of businesses and/or related
assets, (ii) in connection with employee benefit plans and compensation related arrangements in the
ordinary course and consistent with past practice approved by the Board of Directors, (iii) in
connection with a public or broadly marketed offering and sale of Common Stock or convertible
securities for cash conducted by the Company or its affiliates pursuant to registration under the
Securities Act or Rule 144A thereunder on a basis consistent with capital raising transactions by
comparable financial institutions and (iv) in connection with the exercise of preemptive rights on
terms existing as of the Issue Date. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 13(B) shall
become effective immediately upon the date of such issuance.

22

 

     (C) Other Distributions. In case the Company shall fix a record date for the making of
a distribution to all holders of shares of its Common Stock of securities, evidences of
indebtedness, assets, cash, rights or warrants (excluding Ordinary Cash Dividends, dividends of its
Common Stock and other dividends or distributions referred to in Section 13(A)), in each such case,
the Exercise Price in effect prior to such record date shall be reduced immediately thereafter to
the price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the reduction
by the quotient of (x) the Market Price of the Common Stock on the last trading day preceding the
first date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on the principal national
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading without the right to
receive such distribution, minus the amount of cash and/or the Fair Market Value of the securities,
evidences of indebtedness, assets, rights or warrants to be so distributed in respect of one share
of Common Stock (such amount and/or Fair Market Value, the “Per Share Fair Market Value”) divided
by (y) such Market Price on such date specified in clause (x); such adjustment shall be made
successively whenever such a record date is fixed. In such event, the number of Shares issuable
upon the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the
product of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such
adjustment, and (2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the distribution giving rise
to this adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in accordance with the immediately
preceding sentence. In the case of adjustment for a cash dividend that is, or is coincident with, a
regular quarterly cash dividend, the Per Share Fair Market Value would be reduced by the per share
amount of the portion of the cash dividend that would constitute an Ordinary Cash Dividend. In the
event that such distribution is not so made, the Exercise Price and the number of Shares issuable
upon exercise of this Warrant then in effect shall be readjusted, effective as of the date when the
Board of Directors determines not to distribute such shares, evidences of indebtedness, assets,
rights, cash or warrants, as the case may be, to the Exercise Price that would then be in effect
and the number of Shares that would then be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant if such record
date had not been fixed.

     (D) Certain Repurchases of Common Stock. In case the Company effects a Pro Rata
Repurchase of Common Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be reduced to the price determined by
multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Effective Date of such Pro Rata
Repurchase by a fraction of which the numerator shall be (i) the product of (x) the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such Pro Rata Repurchase and (y) the Market
Price of a share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding the first public
announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to effect such Pro Rata
Repurchase, minus (ii) the aggregate purchase price of the Pro Rata Repurchase, and of which the
denominator shall be the product of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such Pro Rata Repurchase minus the number of shares of Common Stock so
repurchased and (ii) the Market Price per share of Common Stock on the trading day immediately
preceding the first public announcement by the Company or any of its Affiliates of the intent to
effect such Pro Rata Repurchase. In such event, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon
the exercise of this Warrant shall be increased to the number obtained by dividing (x) the product
of (1) the number of Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant before such adjustment, and
(2) the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the Pro Rata Repurchase giving rise to this
adjustment by (y) the new Exercise Price determined in

23

 

accordance with the immediately preceding sentence. For the avoidance of doubt, no increase to
the Exercise Price or decrease in the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of this Warrant shall
be made pursuant to this Section 13(D).

     (E) Business Combinations. In case of any Business Combination or reclassification of
Common Stock (other than a reclassification of Common Stock referred to in Section 13(A)), the
Warrantholder’s right to receive Shares upon exercise of this Warrant shall be converted into the
right to exercise this Warrant to acquire the number of shares of stock or other securities or
property (including cash) which the Common Stock issuable (at the time of such Business Combination
or reclassification) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such Business Combination
or reclassification would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such Business
Combination or reclassification; and in any such case, if necessary, the provisions set forth
herein with respect to the rights and interests thereafter of the Warrantholder shall be
appropriately adjusted so as to be applicable, as nearly as may reasonably be, to the
Warrantholder’s right to exercise this Warrant in exchange for any shares of stock or other
securities or property pursuant to this paragraph. In determining the kind and amount of stock,
securities or the property receivable upon exercise of this Warrant following the consummation of
such Business Combination, if the holders of Common Stock have the right to elect the kind or
amount of consideration receivable upon consummation of such Business Combination, then the
consideration that the Warrantholder shall be entitled to receive upon exercise shall be deemed to
be the types and amounts of consideration received by the majority of all holders of the shares of
common stock that affirmatively make an election (or of all such holders if none make an election).

     (F) Rounding of Calculations; Minimum Adjustments. All calculations under this
Section 13 shall be made to the nearest one-tenth (1/10th) of a cent or to the nearest one-
hundredth (1/100th) of a share, as the case may be. Any provision of this Section 13 to the
contrary notwithstanding, no adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares into which
this Warrant is exercisable shall be made if the amount of such adjustment would be less than
$0.01 or one-tenth (1/10th) of a share of Common Stock, but any such amount shall be carried
forward and an adjustment with respect thereto shall be made at the time of and together with any
subsequent adjustment which, together with such amount and any other amount or amounts so carried
forward, shall aggregate $0.01 or 1/10th of a share of Common Stock, or more.

     (G) Timing of Issuance of Additional Common Stock Upon Certain Adjustments. In any
case in which the provisions of this Section 13 shall require that an adjustment shall become
effective immediately after a record date for an event, the Company may defer until the occurrence
of such event (i) issuing to the Warrantholder of this Warrant exercised after such record date
and before the occurrence of such event the additional shares of Common Stock issuable upon such
exercise by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the shares of Common
Stock issuable upon such exercise before giving effect to such adjustment and (ii) paying to such
Warrantholder any amount of cash in lieu of a fractional share of Common Stock; provided, however,
that the Company upon request shall deliver to such Warrantholder a due bill or other appropriate
instrument evidencing such Warrantholder’s right

24

 

to receive such additional shares, and such cash, upon the occurrence of the event requiring
such adjustment.

     (H) Completion of Qualified Equity Offering. In the event the Company (or any
successor by Business Combination) completes one or more Qualified Equity Offerings on or prior to
December 31, 2009 that result in the Company (or any such successor ) receiving aggregate gross
proceeds of not less than 100% of the aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Shares (and
any preferred stock issued by any such successor to the Original Warrantholder under the CPP), the
number of shares of Common Stock underlying the portion of this Warrant then held by the Original
Warrantholder shall be thereafter reduced by a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the
product of (i) 0.5 and (ii) the number of shares underlying the Warrant on the Issue Date (adjusted
to take into account all other theretofore made adjustments pursuant to this Section 13).

     (I) Other Events. For so long as the Original Warrantholder holds this Warrant or any
portion thereof, if any event occurs as to which the provisions of this Section 13 are not
strictly applicable or, if strictly applicable, would not, in the good faith judgment of the Board
of Directors of the Company, fairly and adequately protect the purchase rights of the Warrants in
accordance with the essential intent and principles of such provisions, then the Board of
Directors shall make such adjustments in the application of such provisions, in accordance with
such essential intent and principles, as shall be reasonably necessary, in the good faith opinion
of the Board of Directors, to protect such purchase rights as aforesaid. The Exercise Price or the
number of Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall not be adjusted in the event of a
change in the par value of the Common Stock or a change in the jurisdiction of incorporation of
the Company.

     (J) Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of
Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in Section 13, the
Company shall forthwith file at the principal office of the Company a statement showing in
reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Exercise Price that shall be in
effect and the number of Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment,
and the Company shall also cause a copy of such statement to be sent by mail, first class postage
prepaid, to each Warrantholder at the address appearing in the Company’s records.

     (K) Notice of Adjustment Event. In the event that the Company shall propose to take
any action of the type described in this Section 13 (but only if the action of the type described
in this Section 13 would result in an adjustment in the Exercise Price or the number of Shares
into which this Warrant is exercisable or a change in the type of securities or property to be
delivered upon exercise of this Warrant), the Company shall give notice to the Warrantholder, in
the manner set forth in Section 13(J), which notice shall specify the record date, if any, with
respect to any such action and the approximate date on which such action is to take place. Such
notice shall also set forth the facts with respect thereto as shall be reasonably necessary to
indicate the effect on the Exercise Price and the number, kind or class of shares or other
securities or property which shall be deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant. In the case of
any action which would require the fixing of a record date, such notice shall be given at least 10
days prior to the date so fixed, and in case of all other action, such notice shall be given at
least 15 days prior to the

25

 

taking of such proposed action. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not
affect the legality or validity of any such action.

     (L) Proceedings Prior to Any Action Requiring Adjustment. As a condition precedent to
the taking of any action which would require an adjustment pursuant to this Section 13, the
Company shall take any action which may be necessary, including obtaining regulatory, New York
Stock Exchange, NASDAQ Stock Market or other applicable national securities exchange or
stockholder approvals or exemptions, in order that the Company may thereafter validly and legally
issue as fully paid and nonassessable all shares of Common Stock that the Warrantholder is
entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant pursuant to this Section 13.

     (M) Adjustment Rules. Any adjustments pursuant to this Section 13 shall be made
successively whenever an event referred to herein shall occur. If an adjustment in Exercise Price
made hereunder would reduce the Exercise Price to an amount below par value of the Common Stock,
then such adjustment in Exercise Price made hereunder shall reduce the Exercise Price to the par
value of the Common Stock.

     14. Exchange. At any time following the date on which the shares of Common Stock of
the Company are no longer listed or admitted to trading on a national securities exchange (other
than in connection with any Business Combination), the Original Warrantholder may cause the Company
to exchange all or a portion of this Warrant for an economic interest (to be determined by the
Original Warrantholder after consultation with the Company) of the Company classified as permanent
equity under U.S. GAAP having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of the portion of the Warrant
so exchanged. The Original Warrantholder shall calculate any Fair Market Value required to be
calculated pursuant to this Section 14, which shall not be subject to the Appraisal Procedure.

     15. No Impairment. The Company will not, by amendment of its Charter or through any
reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of
securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of
any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but will at all times in
good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Warrant and in taking of all
such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the
Warrantholder.

     16. Governing Law. This Warrant will be governed by and construed in accordance with
the federal law of the United States if and to the extent such law is applicable, and otherwise in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed
entirely within such State. Each of the Company and the Warrantholder agrees (a) to submit to the
exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia
for any civil action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Warrant or the
transactions contemplated hereby, and (b) that notice may be served upon the Company at the address
in Section 20 below and upon the Warrantholder at the address for the Warrantholder set forth in
the registry maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 9 hereof. To the extent permitted by
applicable law, each of the Company and the Warrantholder

26

 

hereby unconditionally waives trial by jury in any civil legal action or proceeding relating to the Warrant or the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby.

     17. Binding Effect. This Warrant shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of
the Company.

     18. Amendments. This Warrant may be amended and the observance of any term of this
Warrant may be waived only with the written consent of the Company and the Warrantholder.

     19. Prohibited Actions. The Company agrees that it will not take any action which
would entitle the Warrantholder to an adjustment of the Exercise Price if the total number of
shares of Common Stock issuable after such action upon exercise of this Warrant, together with
all shares of Common Stock then outstanding and all shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the
exercise of all outstanding options, warrants, conversion and other rights, would exceed the
total number of shares of Common Stock then authorized by its Charter.

     20. Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder
by any party to the other will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) on the
date of delivery if delivered personally, or by facsimile, upon confirmation of receipt, or (b) on
the second business day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next day
courier service. All notices hereunder shall be delivered as set forth in Item 8 of Schedule A
hereto, or pursuant to such other instructions as may be designated in writing by the party to
receive such notice.

     21. Entire Agreement. This Warrant, the forms attached hereto and Schedule A hereto
(the terms of which are incorporated by reference herein), and the Letter Agreement (including
all documents incorporated therein), contain the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous arrangements or
undertakings with respect thereto.

Exhibit 10.2

AMENDMENT TO

EMPLOYMENT AND CHANGE OF CONTROL AGREEMENT

     WHEREAS, NewBridge Bancorp (“Company”) intends to enter into a letter agreement with the
United States Department of the Treasury (“UST”) pursuant to which the Company shall issue shares
of preferred stock and a warrant to purchase shares of common stock (together the “Purchased
Securities”) and the UST shall purchase from the Company the Purchased Securities (the “Program”);
and

     WHEREAS, a condition to participation in the Program under the Emergency Economic
Stabilization Act of 2008, enacted October 3, 2008 (“EESA”), is that employment agreements and
other agreements with the chief executive officer, the chief financial officer and certain other
executive officers of the Company (each, a “Covered Employee”) must be amended to comply with the
provisions of the EESA, Treasury Notice 2008-PSSFI, Treasury Notice 2008-TARP, IRS Notice 2008-94,
31 C.F.R. Part 30 and any additional applicable rules or regulations adopted under the EESA (the
“Authorities”);

     WHEREAS,                      (“Executive”) is a Covered Employee and is a party with NewBridge
Bank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Bank”), to an Employment and Change of Control
Agreement, dated                      (“Employment Agreement”);

     NOW, THEREFORE, the Bank and Executive agree to amend the Employment Agreement (with the
Company being a party to such amendment) by adding thereto the following:

 

 

     (     ) Special Provisions During Treasury Holding Period. The following provisions
shall be in force and effective throughout the period that the UST holds an equity or debt position
in the Company pursuant to the Program (the “Treasury Holding Period”):

          (a) Controlled Group of Companies. The term “Company” as used herein shall be deemed
to include all members of a “controlled group of corporations” (as such term is defined in the
Authorities) of which the Company is a member.

          (b) Return of Incentive and Bonus Compensation. In the event that Executive receives
one or more payments of incentive compensation and/or bonus compensation during the Treasury
Holding Period, whether pursuant to a plan, agreement, understanding, policy, action of the Board
of Directors of the Company or other similar arrangement, and it shall thereafter be determined by
the Company’s Board of Directors, the UST or the Company’s or the Bank’s primary federal regulator
that the payments of such incentive compensation and/or bonus compensation were calculated, in
whole or part, based upon materially inaccurate financial statements of the Company and/or
materially inaccurate performance metric criteria, then Executive shall promptly, but in no event
less than thirty (30) days after such determination is made, pay to the Company (or, at the
Company’s direction, to the Bank) a sum equal (A) the amount of each such payment less (B) the
amount which such payment would have been if calculated using accurate financial statements of the
Company and accurate performance metric criteria.

 

 

     Within ten (10) days of being advised of any such determination, Executive may exercise an
appeal and seek redress from such determination, after having made the repayment set forth in the
preceding paragraph, as follows:

     i. If such determination was made by the Company’s Board of Directors, Executive may
require the Board of Directors to promptly engage an independent audit firm (which may be
the Company’s independent audit firm if permissible under laws, regulations and rules
applicable to such firm) to review and evaluate the bases of such determination. Such
review shall be concluded promptly but in no event more than thirty (30) days after the
engagement of such firm. The report of the firm engaged shall be final and may not be
challenged by Executive whether by the filing of a civil lawsuit or otherwise (and
Executive expressly waives and releases any and all rights to do so). In the event that
the firm engaged determines either that (x) neither the applicable financial statements nor
the performance metric criteria were materially inaccurate or (y) that aggregate
inaccuracies in the financial statements and/or the performance metric criteria were less
than 10% of the amounts identified as inaccurate in the applicable determination, then the
Company shall pay the fees and expenses of such firm incurred in connection with such
review and report. In all other instances, Executive shall be responsible for such fees
and expenses.

     ii. If such determination was made by the UST or the Company’s or the Bank’s primary
federal banking regulator, Executive shall have such opportunities for redress as are
permitted by the UST or such federal regulator, as applicable, or otherwise by applicable
law.

 

 

          (c) Incentive Compensation Arrangements. Executive agrees that notwithstanding any
provision of the Employment Agreement or any incentive compensation plan, agreement, understanding,
policy, action of the Company’s Board of Directors or other similar arrangement, during the
Treasury Holding Period, Executive will only be entitled to participate (to the extent Executive is
entitled to participate in incentive compensation arrangements of the Company pursuant to an action
of the Board of Directors, the Employment Agreement, a policy of the Company or other similar
development) in incentive compensation arrangements that the compensation committee of the
Company’s Board of Directors (or a committee acting in a similar capacity) has reviewed as provided
in Treasury Notice 2008-PSSFI and has determined do not encourage the Company’s senior executive
officers to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the Company or the
Bank, and that have been certified by such compensation committee (or committee acting in a similar
capacity) as required under Treasury Notice 2008-PSSFI as not encouraging the Company’s senior
executive officers to take unnecessary and excessive risks that threaten the value of the Company
or the Bank.

          (d) Prohibited Golden Parachute Payments. In the event that Executive is severed from
employment with the Company during the Treasury Holding Period (i) by reason of an involuntary
termination of Executive by the Company or the Bank, or (ii) in connection with any bankruptcy
filing, insolvency or receivership of the Company or the Bank, each of the terms in items (i) and
(ii) as defined in the Authorities, notwithstanding any other provision of the Employment
Agreement; any stock award plan, award, grant, agreement, understanding or other arrangement; any
supplemental

 

 

employee retirement plan, pension plan or profit sharing plan (other than a tax qualified
plan); or any other plan, agreement, understanding or other arrangement between the Company and
Executive providing compensation to or economic benefit for Executive upon the termination of
Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive shall not receive an aggregate of payments on
account of such a severance from employment having a present value which equals or exceeds the
“parachute payment” amount set forth in Section 280G(e) of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), as
added by the EESA. The calculation of the amount of the present value of aggregate payments of
compensation to, or for the benefit of, Executive shall be calculated as provided in IRC Section
280G(e) and IRS Notice 2008-94. Executive shall be permitted to elect which payments and/or
benefits shall be reduced and in what amounts to effect any reduction necessary to comply with the
foregoing prohibition; provided, however, that if Executive does not make such election within
fifteen (15) days following the severance of Executive’s employment, the Board of Directors of the
Company (or any successor entity) or its designee shall make such election. Executive waives any
and all rights to contest, seek redress for, or file a civil action to enjoin or obtain damages in
connection with any such election by such Board or its designee.
