So long as a Purchaser or a Purchaser’s nominee shall be the Holder of any Security, the Bank shall pay all sums becoming due on such Security for principal and interest by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below Purchaser’s name in Schedule 1 , or by such other method or at such other address as Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Bank in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Security or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Bank made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Security, Purchaser shall surrender such Security for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Bank at its principal executive office. Prior to any permitted sale, transfer or other disposition of any Security held by a Purchaser or a Purchaser’s nominee, Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Security to the Bank in exchange for a new Security or Securities pursuant to Section 2.03 .
     2.06 Prepayment of Securities .
          (a) At any time and from time to time after the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of the Securities but not prior thereto, the Bank may (subject to the prior approval of the applicable Federal Banking Regulator), upon not less than seven Business Days’ notice to Purchasers, prepay, without premium or penalty thereon, the unpaid principal amount of the Securities, in whole or in part, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not less than $250,000.
          (b) Each partial prepayment of the Securities shall be allocated (in integral multiples of $1,000) to all Securities at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment, with adjustments to the extent applicable to compensate for any prior prepayments not made exactly in such proportion; provided, however, that if as a result of such allocation, any Security held by an Holder would be reduced to an amount of less than $1,000,000, the Bank shall, at the request of such Holder, redeem the balance of such Security.

12


 
          (c) In the case of each prepayment of Securities pursuant to this Section 2.08 , the principal amount of each Security to be so prepaid or repurchased shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment or repurchase, together with interest on such principal amount to be so prepaid accrued to such date. From and after such date, unless the Bank shall fail to pay such principal amount to be so prepaid when so due and payable, together with the interest, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Security paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Bank and canceled and shall not be reissued, and no Security shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid or repurchased principal amount of any Security.
          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.06 , the Securities may not be redeemed or prepaid at the option of the Bank prior to the Maturity pursuant to this Section 2.06 without the prior written consent of the applicable Federal Banking Regulator if the Bank is undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized as described in 12 C.F.R. Section 565.4(b), fails to meet its regulatory capital requirements under 12 C.F.R. Part 567, or, if after giving effect to such repayment, the Bank would fail to meet any of such standards or if such approval is otherwise required by the capital regulations of the applicable Federal Banking Regulator. The Bank shall apply to the OTS for any such required prior written consent.
     2.07 Acquisition by Bank of Securities . The Bank shall not purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Securities except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Securities. The Bank shall promptly cancel all Securities acquired by it pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Securities pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Securities may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Securities.
     2.08 Securities Subordinate to Senior Debt .
          (a) The Bank shall not pay the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities and may not repurchase, redeem or otherwise retire any Securities if any principal, premium or interest in respect of Senior Debt is not paid when due or within any applicable grace period (including at maturity) or any other default on Senior Debt occurs and the maturity of such Senior Debt is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or the payment due in respect of such Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the continuance of any default with respect to any Senior Debt pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Bank shall not make payments on the Securities for a period (a “ Payment Blockage Period ”) commencing upon the receipt by the Bank of written notice of such default from the Representative of any Senior Creditor with respect to such Senior Creditor’s Senior Debt specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a “ Blockage Notice ”) and ending on the date, determined in good faith by the Bank, (i) of repayment in full in cash of such Senior Debt or (ii) that the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is no longer continuing. Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section 2.08(a) ), unless the holders of Senior

13


 
Debt or the Representative of such holders shall have accelerated the maturity of such Senior Debt, the Bank shall, upon the expiration of any Payment Blockage Period, resume payments of accrued unpaid interest on, and regularly scheduled payments of principal of, indebtedness of the Bank evidenced by the Securities.
          (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations evidenced by the Securities are subordinated on liquidation, as to principal, interest, and premium (if any) to all claims against the Bank that have the same priority as savings accounts or higher. The indebtedness of the Bank evidenced by the Securities, including the principal and premium, if any, and interest shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to its obligations to its depositors, its obligations under bankers’ acceptances and letters of credit, and its obligations to its other creditors, including its obligations to the Federal Reserve Bank, FDIC, and any rights acquired by the FDIC as a result of loans made by the FDIC to the bank or the purchase or guarantee of any of its assets by the FDIC pursuant to the provisions of 12 USC §1823(c), (d) or (e), whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred. In the event of any insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings or any liquidation or winding up of or relating to the Bank, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such obligations shall be entitled to be paid in full before any payment shall be made on account of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, on the Securities. In the event of any such proceedings, after payment in full of all sums owing on such prior obligations, the holder of the Securities, together with any obligations of the Bank ranking on a parity with the Securities, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Bank the unpaid principal thereof and any unpaid premium, if any, and interest before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property, or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations of the Bank ranking junior to the Securities.
          (c) Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 2.08 , nothing herein shall impair the obligation of the Bank, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on the Securities according to their terms.
          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (1) the Bank shall not pay interest on the Securities while it remains in default in the payment of any assessment due to the FDIC, and (2) in accordance with and subject to 12 U.S.C. §1831o(h) (or its successor statute), if the Bank becomes a critically undercapitalized insured depository institution under such statute, it shall not, beginning 60 days after becoming critically undercapitalized, make any payment of principal or interest on the Securities. The Bank shall promptly notify the Holders upon becoming aware of any facts that would result in the Bank being prohibited from paying interest on the Securities in accordance with the preceding sentence.
          (e) Each Holder by accepting a Security agrees that the Debt evidenced by such Security is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Section 2.9 , to the prior payment in full (including both interest and principal) of all Senior Debt and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the Holders of Senior Debt.
          (f) Nothing in this Section 2.08 shall prevent any Holder of Securities from exercising its respective available remedies upon an Event of Default, subject to the rights of

14


 
holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders of the Securities. Should any payment or prepayment on account of the Securities (whether principal, interest or otherwise) be received by the Holders in contravention of this Section 2.08 , the Holders shall deliver the same to the Senior Creditors for application on the Senior Debt, and the Holders agree that, until so delivered, the same shall be deemed received by the Holders as agents for the Senior Creditors and such payment or prepayment shall be held in trust by the Holders as property of the Senior Creditors.
          (g) If the FDIC shall be appointed as receiver for the Bank and in its capacity as such shall have caused the Bank to merge with or into another financial institution, or in such capacity shall sell or otherwise convey part or all of the assets of the Bank to another financial institution or shall arrange for the assumption of less than all of the liabilities of the Bank by one or more other financial institutions, the FDIC shall have no obligation, either in its capacity as receiver or in its corporate capacity, to contract for or to otherwise arrange for the assumption of the obligation represented by the Securities in whole or in part by any financial institution or institutions which results from any such merger or which has purchased or otherwise acquired from the FDIC as receiver for the Bank, any of the assets of the Bank, or which pursuant to any arrangement with the FDIC, has assumed less than all of the liabilities of the Bank. To the extent that the obligations represented by the Securities have not been assumed in full by a financial institution with or into which the Bank may have been merged, as described in this paragraph (i), and/or by one or more financial institutions which have succeeded to all or a portion of the assets of the Bank, or which have assumed a portion but not all of the liabilities of the Bank as a result of one or more transactions entered into by the FDIC as receiver of the Bank, then the holder of the Securities shall be entitled to payments on the related obligation in accordance with any procedures or priorities set forth in any applicable receivership regulations or in orders of the FDIC relating to such receivership.
          (h) In the event that the obligation represented by the Securities is assumed in full by another financial institution, which shall succeed by merger or otherwise to substantially all of the assets and the business of the Bank, or which shall by arrangement with the FDIC assume all or a portion of the liabilities of the Bank, and payment or provision for payment shall have been made in respect of all matured installments of interest upon the Securities together with all installments of principal on the Securities which shall have become due other than by acceleration, then any default caused by the appointment of a receiver for the Bank shall be deemed to have been cured, and any declaration consequent upon such default declaring the principal and interest on the Securities to be immediately due and payable shall be deemed to have been rescinded.
          (i) The Securities are not secured by any assets of the Bank, or any affiliate (as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 583.2) of the Bank. The Securities are not eligible as collateral for any loan by the Bank.
          (j) Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof or of the Securities, including specifically those set forth in the sections relating to subordination, events of default and covenants of the Bank, it is expressly understood and agreed that if the applicable Federal Banking Regulator is the OCC, then the OCC or any receiver or conservator of the Bank appointed by the OCC shall have the right in the performance of his legal duties, and as part of

15


 
liquidation designed to protect or further the continued existence of the Bank or the rights of any parties or agencies with an interest in, or claim against, the Bank or its assets, to transfer or direct the transfer of the obligations evidenced by the Securities or otherwise evidenced hereby to any bank or bank holding company selected by such official which shall expressly assume the obligation of the due and punctual payment of the unpaid principal, and interest and premium, if any, on the Securities or hereunder and the due and punctual performance of all covenants and conditions hereunder or under the Securities; and the completion of such transfer and assumption shall serve to supersede and void any default, acceleration or subordination which may have occurred, or which my occur due or related to such transaction, plan, transfer or assumption, pursuant to the provisions of the Securities or otherwise hereunder, and shall serve to return the Holder to the same position, other than for substitution of the obligor, it would have occupied had no default, acceleration or subordination occurred; except that any interest and principal previously due, other than by reason of acceleration, and not paid shall, in the absence of a contrary agreement by the Holders, be deemed to be immediately due and payable as of the date of such transfer and assumption, together with the interest from its original due date at the rate provided for herein or in the Securities.
