TARP Capital Purchase Program

Summary of Senior Preferred Terms
Issuer: Qualifying Financial Institution (“QFI”) means (i) any U.S. bank or U.S 
savings association not controlled by a Bank Holding Company (“BHC”)
or Savings and Loan Company (“SLHC”); (ii) any top-tier U.S. BHC, (iii)
any top-tier U.S. SLHC which engages solely or predominately in
activities that are permitted for financial holding companies under relevant
law; and (iv) any U.S. bank or U.S. savings association controlled by a
U.S. SLHC that does not engage solely or predominately in activities that
are permitted for financial holding companies under relevant law. QFI
shall not mean any BHC, SLHC, bank or savings association controlled by
a foreign bank or company. For purposes of this program, “U.S. bank”,
“U.S. savings association”, “U.S. BHC” and “U.S. SLHC” means a bank,
savings association, BHC or SLHC organized under the laws of the United
States or any State of the United States, the District of Columbia, any
territory or possession of the United States, Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana
Islands, Guam, American Samoa, or the Virgin Islands. The United
States Department of the Treasury will determine eligibility and
allocation for QFIs after consultation with the appropriate Federal
banking agency.

Initial Holder:
United States Department of the Treasury (the “UST”). 
Size: QFIs may sell preferred to the UST subject to the limits and terms
described below.

Each QFI may issue an amount of Senior Preferred equal to not less than
1% of its risk-weighted assets and not more than the lesser of (i) $25
billion and (ii) 3% of its risk-weighted assets.

Security:
Senior Preferred, liquidation preference $1,000 per share. (Depending 
upon the QFI’s available authorized preferred shares, the UST may agree
to purchase Senior Preferred with a higher liquidation preference per
share, in which case the UST may require the QFI to appoint a depositary
to hold the Senior Preferred and issue depositary receipts.)
Ranking: Senior to common stock and pari passu with existing preferred shares
other than preferred shares which by their terms rank junior to any existing
preferred shares.

Regulatory
Capital
Status: Tier 1.

Term:
Perpetual life.
Dividend: The Senior Preferred will pay cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per 
annum until the fifth anniversary of the date of this investment and
thereafter at a rate of 9% per annum. For Senior Preferred issued by banks
which are not subsidiaries of holding companies, the Senior Preferred will
pay non-cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum until the fifth
anniversary of the date of this investment and thereafter at a rate of 9% per
annum. Dividends will be payable quarterly in arrears on February 15,
May 15, August 15 and November 15 of each year.
Redemption:
Senior Preferred may not be redeemed for a period of three years
from the date of this investment, except with the proceeds from a Qualified Equity 
Offering (as defined below) which results in aggregate gross proceeds to 
the QFI of not less than 25% of the issue price of the Senior Preferred.
After the third anniversary of the date of this investment, the Senior
Preferred may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at any time and from time
to time, at the option of the QFI. All redemptions of the Senior Preferred
shall be at 100% of its issue price, plus (i) in the case of cumulative Senior
Preferred, any accrued and unpaid dividends and (ii) in the case of noncumulative
Senior Preferred, accrued and unpaid dividends for the then
current dividend period (regardless of whether any dividends are actually
declared for such dividend period), and shall be subject to the approval of
the QFI’s primary federal bank regulator.

“Qualified Equity Offering” shall mean the sale by the QFI after the date
of this investment of Tier 1 qualifying perpetual preferred stock or
common stock for cash.
Following the redemption in whole of the Senior Preferred held by the
UST, the QFI shall have the right to repurchase any other equity security
of the QFI held by the UST at fair market value.
Restrictions
on Dividends: For as long as any Senior Preferred is outstanding, no dividends
may be declared or paid on junior preferred shares, preferred shares ranking pari 
passu with the Senior Preferred, or common shares (other than in the case
of pari passu preferred shares, dividends on a pro rata basis with the
Senior Preferred), nor may the QFI repurchase or redeem any junior
preferred shares, preferred shares ranking pari passu with the Senior
Preferred or common shares, unless (i) in the case of cumulative Senior

Preferred all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past dividend periods on
the Senior Preferred are fully paid or (ii) in the case of non-cumulative
Senior Preferred the full dividend for the latest completed dividend period
has been declared and paid in full.

Common dividends:
The UST’s consent shall be required for any increase in common
dividends per share until the third anniversary of the date of this 
investment unless prior to such third anniversary the Senior Preferred is
redeemed in whole or the UST has transferred all of the Senior Preferred
to third parties.
Repurchases: The UST’s consent shall be required for any share repurchases (other than
(i) repurchases of the Senior Preferred and (ii) repurchases of junior 
preferred shares or common shares in connection with any benefit plan in
the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice) until the
third anniversary of the date of this investment unless prior to such third
anniversary the Senior Preferred is redeemed in whole or the UST has
transferred all of the Senior Preferred to third parties. In addition, there
shall be no share repurchases of junior preferred shares, preferred shares
ranking pari passu with the Senior Preferred, or common shares if
prohibited as described above under “Restrictions on Dividends”.
Voting rights: The Senior Preferred shall be non-voting, other than class voting rights on
(i) any authorization or issuance of shares ranking senior to the Senior
Preferred, (ii) any amendment to the rights of Senior Preferred, or (iii) any
merger, exchange or similar transaction which would adversely affect the
rights of the Senior Preferred.
If dividends on the Senior Preferred are not paid in full for six dividend
periods, whether or not consecutive, the Senior Preferred will have the
right to elect 2 directors. The right to elect directors will end when full
dividends have been paid for four consecutive dividend periods.
Transferability:
The Senior Preferred will not be subject to any contractual restrictions
on transfer. The QFI will file a shelf registration statement covering the Senior Preferred
as promptly as practicable after the date of this 
investment and, if necessary, shall take all action required to cause such
shelf registration statement to be declared effective as soon as possible.
The QFI will also grant to the UST piggyback registration rights for the
Senior Preferred and will take such other steps as may be reasonably
requested to facilitate the transfer of the Senior Preferred including, if
requested by the UST, using reasonable efforts to list the Senior Preferred
on a national securities exchange. If requested by the UST, the QFI will
appoint a depositary to hold the Senior Preferred and issue depositary
receipts.

Executive
Compensation:
As a condition to the closing of this investment, the QFI and its senior 
executive officers covered by the EESA shall modify or terminate all 
benefit plans, arrangements and agreements (including golden parachute
agreements) to the extent necessary to be in compliance with, and
following the closing and for so long as UST holds any equity or debt
securities of the QFI, the QFI shall agree to be bound by, the executive
compensation and corporate governance requirements of Section 111 of
the EESA and any guidance or regulations issued by the Secretary of the
Treasury on or prior to the date of this investment to carry out the
provisions of such subsection. As an additional condition to closing, the
QFI and its senior executive officers covered by the EESA shall grant to
the UST a waiver releasing the UST from any claims that the QFI and
such senior executive officers may otherwise have as a result of the
issuance of any regulations which modify the terms of benefits plans,
arrangements and agreements to eliminate any provisions that would not
be in compliance with the executive compensation and corporate
governance requirements of Section 111 of the EESA and any guidance or
regulations issued by the Secretary of the Treasury on or prior to the date
of this investment to carry out the provisions of such subsection.
Summary of Warrant Terms

Warrant: The UST will receive warrants to purchase a number of shares of common
stock of the QFI having an aggregate market price equal to 15% of the
Senior Preferred amount on the date of investment, subject to reduction as
set forth below under “Reduction”. The initial exercise price for the
warrants, and the market price for determining the number of shares of
common stock subject to the warrants, shall be the market price for the
common stock on the date of the Senior Preferred investment (calculated
on a 20-trading day trailing average), subject to customary anti-dilution
adjustments. The exercise price shall be reduced by 15% of the original
exercise price on each six-month anniversary of the issue date of the
warrants if the consent of the QFI stockholders described below has not
been received, subject to a maximum reduction of 45% of the original
exercise price.
Term: 10 years
Exercisability:
Immediately exercisable, in whole or in part
Transferability:
The warrants will not be subject to any contractual restrictions on transfer; 
provided that the UST may only transfer or exercise an aggregate of one 
half of the warrants prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which the QFI has 
received aggregate gross proceeds of not less than 100% of the issue price
of the Senior Preferred from one or more Qualified Equity Offerings and (ii) 
December 31, 2009. The QFI will file a shelf registration statement covering 
the warrants and the common stock underlying the warrants as promptly as
practicable after the date of this investment and, if necessary, 
shall take all action required to cause such shelf registration statement to 
be declared effective as soon as possible. The QFI will also grant to the
UST piggyback registration rights for the warrants and the common stock
underlying the warrants and will take such other steps as may be
reasonably requested to facilitate the transfer of the warrants and the
common stock underlying the warrants. The QFI will apply for the listing
on the national exchange on which the QFI’s common stock is traded of
the common stock underlying the warrants and will take such other steps
as may be reasonably requested to facilitate the transfer of the warrants or
the common stock.

Voting:
The UST will agree not to exercise voting power with respect to any 
shares of common stock of the QFI issued to it upon exercise of the
warrants. Reduction: In the event that the QFI has received aggregate
gross  proceeds of not less than 100% of the issue price of the Senior
Preferred from one or more 
Qualified Equity Offerings on or prior to December 31, 2009, the number 
of shares of common stock underlying the warrants then held by the UST
shall be reduced by a number of shares equal to the product of (i) the
number of shares originally underlying the warrants (taking into account
all adjustments) and (ii) 0.5.

Consent:
In the event that the QFI does not have sufficient available authorized 
shares of common stock to reserve for issuance upon exercise of the
warrants and/or stockholder approval is required for such issuance under
applicable stock exchange rules, the QFI will call a meeting of its
stockholders as soon as practicable after the date of this investment to
increase the number of authorized shares of common stock and/or comply
with such exchange rules, and to take any other measures deemed by the
UST to be necessary to allow the exercise of warrants into common stock.
Substitution:
In the event the QFI is no longer listed or traded on a national securities 
exchange or securities association, or the consent of the QFI stockholders 
described above has not been received within 18 months after the issuance date
of the warrants, the warrants will be exchangeable, at the option of the UST, 
for senior term debt or another economic instrument or security of the QFI such 
that the UST is appropriately compensated for the value of the warrant, as 
determined by the UST.
