Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

The company set forth on the signature page hereto
(the “Company”) intends to issue in a private
placement the number of shares of a series of its preferred stock set forth on Schedule
A hereto (the “Preferred Shares”)
and the United States Department of the Treasury (the “Investor”)
intends to purchase from the Company the Preferred Shares.

 

The purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the
terms and conditions of the purchase by the Investor of the Preferred
Shares.  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supplemented or superseded by the terms set forth herein or in the Schedules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 Preferred Shares and the purchase by the Investor of the Preferred
Shares pursuant to this letter agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement
on the terms specified on Schedule A hereto.

 

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

 

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

Article I.                 ARTICLE I

 

1.1          Definitions.  Except as otherwise specified herein or as
the context may otherwise require, the following terms have the respective
meanings set forth below for all purposes of this Agreement.

 

“Affiliate”
means, with respect to any person, any person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under common control with, such other person. For
purposes of this definition, “control”
(including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlled
by” and “under common control with”)
when used with respect to any person, means the possession, directly or
indirectly, of the power to cause the direction of management and/or policies
of such person, whether through the ownership of voting securities by contract
or otherwise.

 

“Appropriate Federal
Banking Agency” means the “appropriate Federal banking agency” with
respect to the Company or such Company Subsidiaries, as applicable, as defined
in Section 3(q) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (12 U.S.C. Section 1813(q)).

 

“Bank Holding Company”
means a company registered as such with the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”)
pursuant to 12 U.S.C. §1842 and the regulations of the Federal Reserve
promulgated thereunder.

 

“Certified Entity”
means the Company or, if the Company itself has not been certified by the Fund

Letter Agreement.

 

“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 and each Certified Entity 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 authoritative interpretations thereof, or (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

Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of its jurisdiction of
organization or other applicable Governmental Entity, such filings and
approvals as are required to be made or obtained under any state “blue sky”
laws and such as have been made or obtained, no notice to, filing with,

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

(k)           Offering

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 Preferred Shares
under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations of the Securities and

thereunder), which might subject the offering, issuance or sale of any of the
Preferred Shares to Investor pursuant to this Agreement to the registration
requirements of the Securities Act.

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.

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

may contain commercially sensitive confidential information entitled to an
exception from a Freedom of Information Act request.

 

(iv)    The Investor’s information rights pursuant to Section 4.1(c)(ii)(A),
(B), (C), (E) and (F) and the Investor’s right to receive certifications from
the Company pursuant to Section 4.1(d)(ii) may be assigned by the Investor to a

performance and observance of each and every covenant, agreement and condition
of this Agreement to be performed and observed by the Company.

 

(ii)                 Without
the prior written consent of the Investor, until such time as the Investor

its “significant subsidiaries” (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2

consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar transaction following the

Article V.                                            ARTICLE V

 

ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

 

5.1                               Purchase for Investment.  The Investor acknowledges that the Preferred
Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities
laws. The Investor (a) is acquiring the Preferred Shares pursuant to an
exemption from registration under the Securities Act solely for investment with
no present intention to distribute them to any person in violation of the
Securities Act or any applicable U.S. state securities laws, (b) will not
sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Preferred Shares, except in compliance
with the registration requirements or exemption provisions of the Securities
Act and any applicable U.S. state securities laws, and (c) has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and in investments
of this type that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the
Purchase and of making an informed investment decision.

 

5.2                               Legends.  (a) The Investor
agrees that all certificates or other instruments representing the Preferred
Shares will bear a legend substantially to the following effect:

 

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE NOT
SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, DEPOSITS OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF A BANK AND ARE NOT INSURED
BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY.

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT
BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED,
SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF 

 

27

 

EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO
IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR PURSUANT TO
AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS. EACH PURCHASER OF
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT IS NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER MAY BE
RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM SECTION 5 OF THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY
RULE 144A THEREUNDER.  ANY TRANSFEREE OF
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF (1) REPRESENTS
THAT IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT), (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFER THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT
TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH IS THEN EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (B) FOR
SO LONG AS THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR
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.

 

THIS INSTRUMENT IS ISSUED SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS
ON TRANSFER AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF A SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES AND THE INVESTOR REFERRED TO THEREIN, A COPY OF
WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE ISSUER.  THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAID AGREEMENT.  ANY SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER NOT IN COMPLIANCE
WITH SAID AGREEMENT WILL BE VOID.”

 

28

 

(a)                                 In the event that any Preferred 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 Preferred
Shares, which shall not contain the applicable legends in Section 5.2(a) above;
provided that the Investor surrenders to
the Company the previously issued certificates or other instruments.

 

29

 

5.3                               Transfer of Preferred Shares. 
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 Preferred 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 Preferred Shares, including
without limitation, as set forth in Section 5.4, provided that
the Investor shall not Transfer any Preferred Shares if such transfer would
require the Company to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13
or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)
and the Company was not already subject to such requirements.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company
shall provide reasonable cooperation to facilitate any Transfers of the
Preferred Shares, including, as is reasonable under the circumstances, by
furnishing such information concerning the Company and its business as a
proposed transferee may reasonably request and making management of the Company
reasonably available to respond to questions of a proposed transferee in
accordance with customary practice, subject in all cases to the proposed
transferee agreeing to a customary confidentiality agreement.

 

5.4                               Rule 144; Rule 144A; 4(11⁄2) Transactions.  (a)  At all times after the Signing
Date, the Company covenants that (1) it will, upon the request of the
Investor or any subsequent holders of the Preferred Shares (“Holders”), use its reasonable best efforts
to (x), to the extent any Holder is relying on Rule 144 under the
Securities Act to sell any of the Preferred Shares, make “current public
information” available, as provided in Section (c)(1) of Rule 144
(if the Company is a “Reporting Issuer” within the meaning of Rule 144) or
in Section (c)(2) of Rule 144 (if the Company is a “Non-Reporting
Issuer” within the meaning of Rule 144), in either case for such time
period as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144, (y), to the
extent any Holder is relying on the so-called “Section 4(11⁄2)”
exemption to sell any of its Preferred Shares, prepare and provide to such
Holder such information, including the preparation of private offering
memoranda or circulars or financial information, as the Holder may reasonably
request to enable the sale of the Preferred Shares pursuant to such exemption,
or (z) to the extent any Holder is relying on Rule 144A under the
Securities Act to sell any of its Preferred Shares, prepare and provide to such
Holder the information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4), and (2) it
will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request from time to
time to enable such Holder to sell Preferred Shares without registration under
the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemptions provided by (i) the
provisions of the Securities Act or any interpretations thereof or related
thereto by the SEC, including transactions based on the so-called “Section 4(11⁄2)”
and other similar transactions, (ii) Rule 144 or 144A under the
Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (iii) any
similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC; provided that the Company shall not be
required to take any action described in this Section 5.4(a) that
would cause the Company to become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company was not subject to such
requirements prior to taking such action. 
Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such Holder
a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and,
if not, the specifics thereof.

 

30

 

(b)                                 The Company agrees to indemnify Investor, Investor’s officers,
directors, employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates, and each person,
if any, that controls Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act (each,
an “Indemnitee”), against any and all
losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including
reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys and other
professionals incurred in connection with investigating, defending, settling,
compromising or paying any such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities,
costs and expenses), joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any
document or report provided by the Company pursuant to this Section 5.4 or
any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under
which they were made, not misleading.

 

(c) If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.4(b) is
unavailable to an Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages,
actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein or is insufficient
to hold the Indemnitee harmless as contemplated therein, then the Company, in
lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages,
actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Company,
on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or
expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company, on the one
hand, and of the Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference
to, among other factors, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or
omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the
Company or by the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission;  the Company and Investor agree
that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) 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 5.4(b).  No Indemnitee guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from the Company if the
Company was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

31

 

5.5                                 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, as applicable, pursuant thereto, the depositary shares issued pursuant
thereto shall be deemed “Preferred Shares” and, as applicable, “Registrable
Securities” for purposes of this Agreement.

 

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

 

(b)                                 The Company shall, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, (i) furnish
to the Investor all instruments, documents and other agreements required to be
furnished by the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including,
without limitation, any documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.4
above, or which are reasonably requested by the Investor in connection
therewith; (ii) execute and deliver to the Investor such documents,
instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other
acts necessary or desirable, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the Preferred
Shares purchased by the Investor, as Investor may reasonably require; and (iii) do
and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and
assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and
purposes of this Agreement, as the Investor shall reasonably require from time
to time.

(i)                    by
either the Investor or the Company if the Closing shall not have occurred by

faith to determine whether to extend the term of this Agreement, it being
understood that the parties shall be required to consult only until the fifth
calendar day after such 30th calendar day and not be under any obligation to

further, that the right to terminate

unilaterally amend Section 4.1(d) to the extent the Investor deems
necessary, in its sole discretion, to comply with, or conform to, any changes
after the Signing Date in any federal statutes, any rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder and any other publications or interpretative releases of
the Fund governing CDFIs, including, without limitation, any changes in the
criteria for certification as a CDFI by the Fund.  No failure or delay by any party in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or
further exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies herein provided shall
be cumulative of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

6.4                                 Waiver of Conditions.  The

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

Agreement nor any right, remedy, obligation nor liability arising hereunder or
by reason hereof shall be assignable by any party hereto without the prior

unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such
provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been
held invalid or unenforceable, will remain in full force and effect and shall

any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such determination, the
parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and
equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.

FORM OF WAIVER

 

In consideration for the benefits I will receive as a
result of the participation of [NAME OF
COMPANY] (together with its subsidiaries and
affiliates, the “Company”) in the United States
Department of the Treasury’s (“Treasury”) Community
Development Capital Initiative and/or any other economic stabilization program
implemented by Treasury under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008
(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, “EESA”)
(any such initiative or program, including the Community Development Capital
Initiative, a “Program”), I hereby voluntarily
waive any claim against the United States (and each of its departments and
agencies) or the Company or any of its directors, officers, employees and
agents for any changes to my compensation or benefits that are required to
comply with the executive compensation and corporate governance requirements of
Section 111 of EESA, as implemented by any guidance or regulation thereunder,
including the rules set forth in 31 C.F.R. Part 30, or any other guidance or
regulations under EESA, and the applicable requirements of the Securities
Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and Treasury dated as of [        ], 2010, as amended (such requirements, the “Limitations”).

 

I acknowledge that the Limitations may require
modification or termination of the employment, compensation, bonus, incentive,
severance, retention and other benefit plans, arrangements, policies and
agreements (including so-called “golden parachute” agreements), whether or not
in writing, that I may have with the Company or in which I may participate as
they relate to the period the United States holds any equity or debt securities
of the Company acquired through a Program or for any other period applicable under
such Program or Limitations, as the case may be, and I hereby consent to all
such modifications.

 

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

 

I agree that, in the event and to the extent that the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or similar
governing body (the “Committee”)
reasonably determines that any compensatory payment or benefit provided to me,
including any bonus or incentive compensation based on materially inaccurate
financial statements or performance criteria, would cause the Company to fail
to be in compliance with the Limitations (such payment or benefit, an “Excess Payment”), upon notification from the Company, I
shall repay such Excess Payment to the Company within 15 business days.  In addition, I agree that the Company shall
have the right 

 

C-1

 

to postpone any such payment or benefit for a
reasonable period of time to enable the Committee to determine whether such
payment or benefit would constitute an Excess Payment.

 

I understand that any determination by the Committee
as to whether or not, including the manner in which, a payment or benefit needs
to be modified, terminated or repaid in order for the Company to be in
compliance with Section 111 of EESA and/or the Limitations shall be a final and
conclusive determination of the Committee which shall be binding upon me.  I further understand that the Company is
relying on this letter from me in connection with its participation in a Program.

 

In witness whereof, I execute this waiver on my own
behalf, thereby communicating my acceptance and acknowledgement to the
provisions herein.

1.2                                 Registration.

 

(a)                                  The Company covenants and agrees that as promptly as practicable after
the date that the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and in any event no later than 30 days
thereafter), the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Shelf
Registration Statement covering all Registrable Securities (or otherwise
designate an existing shelf registration on an appropriate form under Rule 415
under the Securities Act (a “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). 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if 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.

 

(b)                                 Any registration pursuant to Section 1.2(a) of this Annex E shall
be effected by means of a Shelf Registration Statement on an appropriate form
under Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration
Statement”).  If the Investor
or any other Holder intends to distribute any Registrable Securities by means
of an underwritten offering it shall promptly so advise the Company and the
Company shall take all reasonable steps to facilitate such distribution,
including the actions required pursuant to Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E;
provided that the Company shall not be
required to facilitate an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities
unless (i) the expected gross proceeds from such offering exceed $200,000 or
(ii) such 

 

E-2

 

underwritten offering includes all of the outstanding
Registrable Securities held by such Holder. 
The lead underwriters in any such distribution shall be selected by the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be distributed.

 

(c)                                  The Company shall not be required to effect a registration (including a
resale of Registrable Securities from an effective Shelf Registration
Statement) or an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 1.2 of this Annex
E:  (A) with respect to securities
that are not Registrable Securities; or (B) if the Company has notified the
Investor and all other Holders that in the good faith judgment of the Board of
Directors, it would be materially detrimental to the Company or its
securityholders for such registration or underwritten offering to be effected
at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such
registration for a period of not more than 45 days after receipt of the request
of the Investor or any other Holder; provided that
such right to delay a registration or underwritten offering shall be exercised
by the Company (1) only if the Company has generally exercised (or is
concurrently exercising) similar black-out rights against holders of similar
securities that have registration rights and (2) not more than three times in
any 12-month period and not more than 90 days in the aggregate in any 12-month
period.

 

(d)                                 If during any period when an effective Shelf Registration Statement is
not available, the Company proposes to register any of its equity securities,
other than a registration pursuant to Section 1.2(a) of this Annex E or
a Special Registration, and the registration form to be filed may be used for
the registration or qualification for distribution of Registrable Securities,
the Company will 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 1.2(d) prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not
Investor or any other Holders have elected to include Registrable Securities in
such registration.

 

(e)                                  If the registration referred to in Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E
is proposed to be underwritten, the Company will so advise Investor and all
other Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 1.2(d)
of this Annex E.  In such event,
the right of Investor and all other Holders to registration pursuant to Section
1.2 of this Annex E will be conditioned upon such persons’ participation
in such underwriting and the inclusion of such person’s Registrable Securities
in the underwriting if such securities are of the same class of securities as
the securities to be offered in the underwritten offering, and each such person
will (together with the Company and the other persons distributing their
securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in
customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such
underwriting by the Company; provided that
the Investor (as opposed to other Holders) shall not be required to indemnify
any person in connection with any registration. If any participating person
disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such person may elect to 

 

E-3

 

withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company,
the managing underwriters and the Investor (if the Investor is participating in
the underwriting).

 

(f)                                    If either (x) the Company grants “piggyback” registration rights to one
or more third parties to include their securities in an underwritten offering
under the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 1.2(b) of this Annex
E or (y) a Piggyback Registration under Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E
relates to an underwritten offering on behalf of the Company, and in either
case the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable
opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such offering
exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the
marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on the per 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 1.2(d) of this Annex E, the
securities the Company proposes to sell, (B) then the Registrable Securities of
the Investor and all other Holders who have requested inclusion of Registrable
Securities pursuant to Section 1.2(b) or Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E,
as applicable, pro rata on the basis of the
aggregate number of such securities 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.

 

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

 

1.4                                 Obligations of the Company.  Whenever required to effect the registration
of any Registrable Securities or facilitate the distribution of Registrable Securities
pursuant to an effective Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall, as
expeditiously as reasonably practicable:

 

(a)                                  Prepare and file with the SEC a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment with respect to a proposed offering of Registrable Securities
pursuant to an effective registration statement, subject to Section 1.4 of this
Annex E, keep such registration statement effective and keep such
prospectus supplement current until the securities described therein are no
longer Registrable Securities.

 

(b)                                 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.

 

E-4

 

(c)                                  Furnish to the Holders and any underwriters such number of copies of the
applicable registration statement and each such amendment and supplement
thereto (including in each case all exhibits) and of a prospectus, including a
preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities
Act, 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.

 

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

 

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

 

(f)                                    Give written notice to the Holders:

 

(i)                                     when any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 4.1(j) of the
Agreement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC (except for any
amendment effected by the filing of a document with the SEC pursuant to the
Exchange Act) and when such registration statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto has become effective;

 

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

 

(iii)                               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;

 

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

 

(v)                                 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 

 

E-5

 

(which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction
to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been
made); and

 

(vi)                              if at any time the representations and warranties of the Company
contained in any underwriting agreement contemplated by Section 1.4(j) of this Annex
E cease to be true and correct.

 

(g)                                 Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the
withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration
statement referred to in Section 1.4(f)(iii) of this Annex E at the
earliest practicable time.

 

(h)                                 Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 1.4(e) or
1.4(f)(v) of this Annex 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 1.4(f)(v) 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.

 

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

 

(j)                                     If an underwritten offering is requested pursuant to Section 1.2(b) of
this Annex E, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form,
scope and substance and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the
Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection
therewith or by the managing underwriter(s), if any, to expedite or facilitate
the underwritten disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in connection
therewith in any underwritten offering (including making members of management
and executives of the Company available to participate in “road shows”, similar
sales events and other marketing activities), (A) make such representations and
warranties to the Holders that are selling 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

 

E-6

 

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

 

(k)           Make
available for inspection by a representative of 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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

1.5          Suspension
of Sales.  Upon receipt of written
notice from the Company that a registration statement, prospectus or prospectus
supplement 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 

 

E-7

 

advised in writing by the Company that the use of the
prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement may be resumed, and, if so
directed by the Company, the Investor and/or such Holder shall deliver to the
Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies
then in the Investor and/or such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus and, if
applicable, prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities current
at the time of receipt of such notice. 
The total number of days that any such suspension may be in effect in
any 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days.

 

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

 

1.7          Furnishing
Information.

 

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

 

(b)           It
shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any
action pursuant to Section 1.4 of this Annex E that Investor and/or
the selling Holders and the underwriters, if any, shall furnish to the Company
such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them
and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required
to effect the registered offering of their Registrable Securities.

 

1.8          Indemnification.

 

(a)           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 

 

E-8

 

reliance upon and in conformity with information
regarding such Indemnitee or its plan of distribution or ownership interests
which was furnished in writing to the Company by such Indemnitee for use in
connection with such registration statement, including any such preliminary
prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any such amendments or
supplements thereto, or (B)  offers or sales effected by or on behalf of
such Indemnitee “by means of” (as defined in Rule 159A) a “free writing prospectus”
(as defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the
Company.

 

(b)           If
the indemnification provided for in Section 1.8(a) of this Annex E
is unavailable to an Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages,
actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein or is insufficient
to hold the Indemnitee harmless as contemplated therein, then the Company, in
lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or
payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages,
actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to
reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Company,
on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or
expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault of the Company, on the one
hand, and of the Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by
reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue statement of a material
fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Company or by the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or
omission;  the Company and each Holder
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.8(b) of
this Annex E were determined by pro rata
allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of
the equitable considerations referred to in Section 1.8(a) of this Annex
E.  No Indemnitee guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from the Company if the
Company was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

 

1.9          Assignment
of Registration Rights.  The rights
of the Investor to registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1.2
of this Annex E may be assigned by the Investor to a transferee or
assignee of Registrable Securities; provided, however, the transferor shall, within ten days after such
transfer, furnish to the Company written notice of the name and address of such
transferee or assignee and the number and type of Registrable Securities that
are being assigned.

 

1.10        Clear
Market.  With respect to any
underwritten offering of Registrable Securities by the Investor or other
Holders pursuant to this Annex E, the Company agrees not to effect
(other than pursuant to such registration or pursuant to a Special
Registration) any public sale or distribution, or to file any Shelf
Registration Statement (other than such registration or a Special Registration)
covering any preferred stock of the Company or any securities convertible into
or exchangeable or exercisable for preferred stock of the Company, during the
period not to exceed ten days prior and 60 days following the effective date of
such offering or such longer period up to 90 days as may be requested by the
managing underwriter for such underwritten offering.  The Company also agrees to cause such of its
directors and senior executive officers to execute and 

 

E-9

 

deliver customary lock-up agreements in such form and
for such time period up to 90 days as may be requested by the managing
underwriter.

 

1.11        Forfeiture
of Rights.  At any time, any holder
of Registrable Securities (including any Holder) may elect to forfeit its
rights set forth in this Annex E from that date forward; provided, that a Holder forfeiting such rights shall
nonetheless be entitled to participate under Section 1.2(d) — (f) of
this Annex E in any Pending Underwritten Offering to the same extent
that such Holder would have been entitled to if the holder had not withdrawn;
and provided, further,
that no such forfeiture shall terminate a Holder’s rights or obligations under Section 1.7
of this Annex E with respect to any prior registration or Pending
Underwritten Offering.

 

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

 

1.13        No
Inconsistent Agreements.  The Company
shall not, on or after the Signing Date, enter into any agreement with respect
to its securities that may impair the rights granted to the Investor and the
Holders under this Annex E or that otherwise conflicts with the
provisions hereof in any manner that may impair the rights granted to the
Investor and the Holders under this Annex E.  In the event the Company has, prior to the
Signing Date, entered into any agreement with respect to its securities that is
inconsistent with the rights granted to the Investor and the Holders under this
Annex E (including agreements that are inconsistent with the order of
priority contemplated by Section 1.2(f) of Annex E) or that
may otherwise conflict with the provisions hereof, the Company shall use its
reasonable best efforts to amend such agreements to ensure they are consistent
with the provisions of this Annex E.

 

1.14        Certain
Offerings by the Investor.  An “underwritten”
offering or other disposition shall include any distribution of such securities
on behalf of the Investor by one or more broker-dealers, an “underwriting agreement”
shall include any purchase agreement entered into by such broker-dealers, and
any “registration statement” or “prospectus” shall include any offering
document approved by the Company and used in connection with such distribution.
