any kind of the Company or any Company Subsidiary; or (B) redeem, purchase or acquire any

any debt or equity securities of the Company, including the CDCI Preferred Shares, the
Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall not enter into transactions with Affiliates or
related persons (within the meaning of Item 404 under the SECs Regulation S-K) unless
(A) such transactions are on terms no less favorable to the Company and the Company
Subsidiaries than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party, and (B) have been
approved by the audit committee of the Board of Directors or comparable body of independent directors
of the Company, or if there are no independent directors, the Board of Directors, provided that
the Board of Directors shall maintain written documentation which supports its determination that

Preferred Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or under any state securities

instruments representing the CDCI 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

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

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 WILL BE VOID.
(b) In the event that any CDCI 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 CDCI Preferred Shares, which

surrenders to the Company the previously issued certificates or other instruments.
Section 5.3 Transfer of CDCI Preferred Shares. Subject to compliance with applicable

Investor shall not Transfer any CDCI 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 CDCI 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

(x), to the extent any Holder is relying on Rule 144 under the Securities Act to sell any
-23-
UST Sequence 413
of the CDCI 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
CDCI 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 CDCI 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
CDCI 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 CDCI 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.
(b) The Company agrees to indemnify Investor, Investors 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
-24-
UST Sequence 413
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.
Section 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 CDCI Preferred Shares may be deposited and
depositary shares, each representing a fraction of a CDCI 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 CDCI Preferred Shares, as applicable, pursuant thereto, the depositary shares
issued pursuant thereto shall be deemed CDCI Preferred Shares and, as applicable, Registrable
Securities for purposes of this Agreement.
Section 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 Companys 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 CDCI 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.
Section 5.7 Repurchase of Investor Securities. From and after the date of this
Agreement, the agreements set forth in Section 4.9 of the CPP Securities Purchase Agreement shall
be applicable following the redemption in whole of the CDCI Preferred Shares held by the Investor
or the Transfer by the Investor of all of the CDCI Preferred Shares held by the Investor to one or
more third parties not affiliated with the Investor.

authorized committee of the Board of Directors, but only out of assets legally available therefor,
cumulative cash dividends with respect to each Dividend Period (as defined below) at a rate per

date) and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing with the

Dividends that are payable on Designated Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date will be
payable to holders of record of Designated Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of
the Issuer 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 Section 3(c) below and 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 Issuer or any of its

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).
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
A-4
UST Seq. 413
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 Issuer will provide written notice to the holders of
Designated Preferred Stock prior to such Dividend Payment Date.
Subject to the foregoing and Section 3(c) below, 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.
(c) Restriction on Dividends. So long as any share of Designated Preferred Stock
remains outstanding, neither the Issuer nor any Issuer Subsidiary shall, declare or pay any
dividend or make any distribution on Common Stock, Junior Stock, Parity Stock or other capital
stock or other equity securities of any kind of the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary (other than (i)
regular quarterly cash dividends of not more than the amount of the last quarterly cash dividend
per share declared or, if lower, announced to its holders of Common Stock an intention to declare,
on the Common Stock prior to October 14, 2008, as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend,

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).
So long as any share of Designated Preferred Stock remains outstanding, neither the Issuer nor
any Issuer Subsidiary shall, (x) pay any per share dividend or distribution on Common Stock, Junior
Stock, Parity Stock or other capital stock or other equity securities of any kind of the Issuer at
a rate that is in excess of 100% of the aggregate per share dividends and distributions for the
immediately prior fiscal year (other than regular dividends on shares of preferred stock in
accordance with the terms thereof and which are permitted under the terms of this Section 3);

Subsidiary required pursuant to binding contractual agreements entered into prior to January 16,
2009 or (4) dividends or distributions on newly issued shares of capital stock for cash or other
property).
Section 4. Liquidation Rights.
(a) Voluntary or Involuntary Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution
or winding up of the affairs of the Issuer, 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 Issuer or proceeds thereof (whether capital or surplus) available for
distribution to stockholders of the Issuer, subject to the rights of any creditors of the Issuer,
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 Issuer 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 Issuer 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 Issuer 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 Issuer ranking equally with Designated Preferred Stock as to such
distribution has been paid in full, the holders of other stock of the Issuer shall be entitled to
receive all remaining assets of the Issuer (or proceeds thereof) according to their respective
rights and preferences.

Section 4, the merger or consolidation of the Issuer 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 Issuer, shall not
constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer.
A-6
UST Seq. 413
Section 5. Redemption.
(a) Optional Redemption. The Issuer, 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 (ii) 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.
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 Issuer 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 Issuer. 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 Preferred Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Designated Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry
form through The Depository Trust Company 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
A-7
UST Seq. 413
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 Issuer, 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 Issuer, after which
time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Issuer 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 Issuer 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.
(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.
(b) 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 eight quarterly
Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors of the
Issuer 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 Issuers 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 dividends payable on all outstanding shares of Designated
Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full for four consecutive quarterly Dividend Period
(and which shall include all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods,
A-8
UST Seq. 413
including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section
3(a) above, dividends on such amount)), 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 Issuer to violate any corporate governance requirements of
any securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities of the Issuer 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.
(c) 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 class or
series of capital stock of the Issuer 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 Issuer;
(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 Issuer with another corporation or
other entity, unless in each case (x) the shares of Designated Preferred Stock remain
A-9
UST Seq. 413
outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which the
Issuer 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 Issuer 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
Issuer 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 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.

Stock remains outstanding, neither the Issuer nor any Issuer Subsidiary shall, redeem, purchase or
acquire any shares of Common Stock, Junior Stock, Parity Stock or other capital stock or other
equity securities of any kind of the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary, or any trust preferred
securities issued by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer, (other than (i) redemptions,
purchases, repurchases or other acquisitions of the Designated Preferred Stock and (ii) repurchases
of Junior Stock or Common Stock in connection with the administration of any
A-10
UST Seq. 413

the Share Dilution Amount, (iii) the acquisition by the Issuer or any of the Issuer Subsidiaries
of record ownership in Junior Stock or Parity Stock for the beneficial ownership of any other
persons (other than the Issuer or any other Issuer Subsidiary), including as trustees or

Parity Stock or trust preferred securities for or into other Parity Stock (with the same or lesser

thereof for Common Stock, (v) redemptions of securities held by the Issuer or any wholly-owned
Issuer Subsidiary or (vi) redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of capital stock or other
equity securities of any kind of any Issuer Subsidiary required pursuant to binding contractual
agreements entered into prior to January 16, 2009), 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).
Section 9. Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the
Issuer 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 Issuer nor such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 10. 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
Company or any similar facility, such notices may be given to the holders of Designated Preferred
Stock in any manner permitted by such facility.
Section 11. No Preemptive Rights. No share of Designated Preferred Stock shall have
any rights of preemption whatsoever as to any securities of the Issuer, or any warrants, rights or

warrants, rights or options, may be designated, issued or granted.
Section 12. Replacement Certificates. The Issuer shall replace any mutilated
certificate at the holders expense upon surrender of that certificate to the Issuer. The Issuer

ANNEX D
FORM OF WAIVER
In consideration for the benefits I will receive as a result of the participation
of
[ ] (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, the Company) in the
United States Department of the Treasurys (the Treasury) Capital Purchase Program,
Community Development Capital Initiative and/or any other economic stabilization program
implemented by the Treasury under the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 (as amended,
supplemented, or otherwise modified, the EESA) (any such program, including the Capital
Purchase Program and 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 the EESA, as implemented by any guidance or regulations
issued and/or to be issued thereunder, including without limitation the provisions for the Capital
Purchase Program, 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 the EESA and the applicable
requirements of the Exchange Agreement by and
among the Company and the 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 these

Directors of the Company or similar governing body (the Committee) reasonably determines
that any compensatory payment and 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

successor provision), as the same shall be amended from time to time.
(h) Selling Expenses mean all discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer
taxes applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities and fees and disbursements of counsel for
any Holder (other than the fees and disbursements of Holders Counsel included in Registration
Expenses).
(i) 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

of the Company or Company Subsidiaries or in connection with dividend reinvestment plans.
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
E-2
or (ii) such 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 Companys 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 persons 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
E-3
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).
(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.

Registrable Securities or facilitate the distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to an
effective Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably
practicable:

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

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

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;

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
E-5
(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 Companys 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 Companys transfer agent in

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

managing underwriter(s), if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries,

included in such Shelf Registration Statement, addressed to each of the managing underwriter(s), if

agreement entered into by the Company.

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

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 Companys expense) all copies, other than
E-7
permanent file copies then in the Investor and/or such Holders possession, of the prospectus and,

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 Holders 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
E-8
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
any 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 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
E-9
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 Holders 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.

Carver Federal-Savings Bank (Carver), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is a defendant in
a lawsuit filed in November 2009 in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York
by Mariners Bank (Mariners) as Plaintiff. Mariners alleges, among other things, that Carver,
as loan servicer, breached a loan servicing agreement entered into with Mariners and that Carver
serviced the subject loan in a grossly negligent manner. The subject loan is a mortgage loan
secured by multi-family property located in Monticello, NY. Mariners is seeking damages in excess
of $500,000. Carver has counter sued Mariners for payment of loan advances for real estate taxes
and hazard insurance. Carver believes it has a meritorious defense in this matter, but is unable to
determine the outcome of this case at this time.
