(a)
Section 1.01 is hereby amended by adding the following new definition:
 
“‘FRB Approval’ means approval by the FRB of the H-(e)1 application filed by FSPF, Hovde Acquisition I, LLC, Hovde Private Equity Advisors LLC and Carrollton on June 6, 2012, as amended and supplemented, related to the acquisition of Carrollton and for Carrollton to become a savings and loan holding company.”

 
(b)
Section 9.01(c) is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
 
Delay.  At any time prior to the Effective Time, upon written notice given by Carrollton or Jefferson, if its Board of Directors so determines by vote of a majority of the members of its entire Board, in the event that (i) FRB Approval has not been obtained by March 15, 2013 or (ii) FRB Approval is received by March 15, 2013, and the Parent Merger is not consummated by April 19, 2013 (whichever may be applicable, the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.01(c) shall not be available to a party if the failure of the Parent Merger then to be consummated arises out of or results from the action or inaction, in breach of the obligation in Section 7.01, of the party seeking to terminate the Agreement.”

The phrase “as may be extended pursuant to Section 9.01(c)” is hereby deleted from Section 2.04.
