Dear Ladies and

Shares, the “Purchased Securities” ) and the
United States Department of the Treasury (the
“Investor” ) intends to purchase from the
Company the Purchased Securities.
The purpose of this letter agreement is to
confirm the terms and conditions of the purchase by the Investor of
the Purchased Securities. Except to the extent supplemented or
superseded by the terms set forth herein or in the Schedules
hereto, the provisions contained in the Securities Purchase
Agreement — Standard Terms attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Securities Purchase Agreement” ) are
incorporated by reference herein. Terms that are defined in the

so defined. In the event of any inconsistency between this letter
agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, the terms of this
letter agreement shall govern.
Each of the Company and the Investor hereby
confirms its agreement with the other party with respect to the
issuance by the Company of the Purchased Securities and the
purchase by the Investor of the Purchased Securities pursuant to
this letter agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement on the
terms specified on Schedule A hereto.
This letter agreement (including the Schedules
hereto) and the Securities Purchase Agreement (including the
Annexes thereto) and the Warrant constitute the entire agreement,
and supersede all other prior agreements, understandings,
representations and warranties, both written and oral, between the
parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof. This letter
agreement constitutes the “Letter Agreement”
referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
This letter agreement may be executed in any
number of separate counterparts, each such counterpart being deemed
to be an original instrument, and all such counterparts will
together constitute the same agreement. Executed signature pages to
this letter agreement may be delivered by facsimile and such

been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized
representatives of the parties hereto as of the date written
