ARTICLE II

CONSIDERATION AND CONVERSION OF SHARES

2.1. Conversion of Shares. (a) At the Effective Time, each of the outstanding shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of Fidelity (“Fidelity Common Stock”) (excluding shares of Fidelity Common Stock held in treasury or by any Fidelity Subsidiary (other than in a fiduciary capacity), by Eagle or any Eagle Subsidiary (other than in a fiduciary capacity), or Dissenting Shares (as hereinafter defined)), shall automatically, and without further action, be converted into and exchangeable for the right to receive 0.9202 shares of Eagle Common Stock (the “Conversion Ratio), subject to adjustment in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.1(b) (the “Stock Consideration”). The Stock Consideration, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares as provided in Section 2.1(b)(ii) are referred to herein collectively as the “Merger Consideration.”

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.1(a):

(i) If at the Effective Time, the pro forma consolidated book value of Fidelity as of September 30, 2007, adjusted as set forth in this Section 2.1(b) would be below $7.50 per share, then the Conversion Ratio shall be adjusted downward to the number of shares determined by dividing such pro forma book value per share by $8.15, calculated to four decimal places. Fidelity’s September 30, 2007 pro forma book value per share shall be determined by adjusting Fidelity’s adjusted September 30, 2007 book value of $31,552,620 by the net amount of following items only: (i) operating losses of Fidelity & Trust Mortgage Company (“F&T Mortgage”), expenses incurred by Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary (as hereinafter defined) in connection with the winding down of F&T Mortgage (including but not limited to lease and contract termination fees, severance obligations, salary and benefit expense, legal, accounting and consulting fees), and deficiencies on inter-company payments or liabilities due from F&T Mortgage to F&T Bank; (ii) losses on the sale of loans held for sale, (iii) net charge-offs, (iv) increases to the allowance for loan losses necessary to conform to Eagle’s policies for such items, to the extent such increases are in the aggregate in excess of $750,000; (v) increases to valuation adjustments for loans held for sale as may be determined pursuant to Section 6.5; (vi) reserves for litigation, litigation expenses and amounts paid or payable upon judgment or in settlement relating to such litigation as may be determined pursuant to Section 6.5, in the case of (ii) — (vi) to the extent such the aggregate of such amounts exceeds the amount reserved or provided for such items at September 30, 2007, which are as set forth on Exhibit C hereto; and (vii) any other agreed upon adjustments to Fidelity’s book value, and dividing such adjusted book value by the number of shares of Fidelity Common Stock outstanding as of September 30, 2007, provided, however that an adjustment shall be made pursuant to this paragraph only by the amount by which the net amount of the adjustments in (i) through (vi) above exceeds $400,000. In no event shall the adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.1(b)(i) result in an increase in the Conversion Ratio.

(ii) No certificate for fractional shares of Eagle Common Stock will be issued in connection with the exchange contemplated by the Merger, and holders of Fidelity Common Stock entitled to fractional shares shall be paid cash in lieu of such fractional shares, without interest, on the basis of the Market Value of a Share of Eagle Common Stock, with any fraction of a cent being rounded down to the next lower whole cent. The “Market Value of a Share of Eagle Common Stock” shall be equal to the average of the per share closing price for Eagle Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding the date which is two business days before the Closing Date (the “Market Value Determination Period”), as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”), calculated to four decimals. In the event that there shall be no trade on any trading day within the foregoing period, or if Nasdaq shall fail to report a closing price on any such day, the closing price for such day shall be equal to the average of the closing bid price and the closing asked price as reported by Nasdaq on that day.

(iii) The Conversion Ratio shall be proportionately adjusted for dividends on Eagle Common Stock payable in shares of Eagle Common Stock or any combination or subdivision of the Eagle Common Stock the record date for which is after the date hereof but prior to the Effective Time.

(c) All shares of Fidelity Common Stock held by Fidelity as treasury shares, or held by any Fidelity Subsidiary (other than in a fiduciary capacity), by Eagle or any Eagle Subsidiary (other than in a fiduciary capacity), shall be cancelled and shall not be converted as provided in Sections 2.1(a). Any such treasury shares or shares held by any Fidelity Subsidiary shall not be considered outstanding.

(d) Each share of Holdings Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be unchanged, and shall continue to represent an issued and outstanding share of Holdings Common Stock.

(e) Each share of Eagle Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be unchanged, and shall continue to represent an issued and outstanding share of Eagle Common Stock.

2.2. Treatment of Fidelity Options. At the Effective Time, each option (the “Fidelity Options”) issued and outstanding at the Effective Time under the Fidelity’s 2004 Incentive Plan and 2005 Incentive Plan (the “Fidelity Option Plans”), shall be converted into and become options to purchase Eagle Common Stock. Eagle shall assume each Fidelity Option in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Fidelity Option Plan pursuant to which it was issued, the agreements evidencing grants thereunder and any other agreements between Fidelity and an optionee regarding Fidelity Options; provided, however, that from and after the Effective Time, each such Fidelity Option shall be exercisable solely for Eagle Common Stock; the number of shares of Eagle Common Stock which may be acquired pursuant to such Fidelity Option shall be the number of shares of Fidelity Common Stock subject to such Fidelity Option multiplied by the Conversion Ratio, rounded down to the nearest whole share; and the exercise price per share shall be equal to the exercise price per share of Fidelity Common Stock divided by the Conversion Ratio, rounded up to the nearest cent. It is intended that the foregoing assumption and adjustment shall be effected in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), as to each Fidelity Option which is an incentive stock option.

2.3. Exchange Procedures. (a) Eagle shall appoint its transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services, or, with the written consent of Fidelity, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, another agent independent of and unaffiliated with Eagle or Fidelity (the “Exchange Agent”), for the purpose of exchanging certificates representing Fidelity Common Stock for the Merger Consideration. At or prior to the Effective Time, Eagle shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, with the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of Fidelity Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with this Article II, or shall duly authorize and direct issuance by the Exchange Agent in accordance with this Section of, (i) certificates representing the shares of Eagle Common Stock that constitute the Stock Consideration, or shall duly authorize the issuance of evidences of uncertificated shares of Eagle Common Stock; and (ii) an amount of cash necessary to satisfy the cash in lieu portion of the Merger Consideration.

(b) As promptly as practicable, but in no event more than 10 days, after the Effective Time, Eagle shall send, or shall cause the Exchange Agent to send, to each holder of record of Fidelity Common Stock a letter of transmittal and instructions (which shall specify that the delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title shall pass, only upon proper delivery of the certificates to the Exchange Agent) for use in the exchange of such shares of Fidelity Common Stock for the Merger Consideration into which such shares shall have been converted. As promptly as possible after receipt of the Exchange Agent notice, each former shareholder of Fidelity shall surrender his or

her certificates to the Exchange Agent; provided, that if any former shareholder of Fidelity shall be unable to surrender his Fidelity Common Stock certificates due to loss or mutilation thereof, he or she may make a constructive surrender by following the procedures customarily followed in the replacement of lost or mutilated certificates, including the posting of appropriate bond. Upon actual or constructive surrender of Fidelity Common Stock certificates from a former Fidelity shareholder, the Exchange Agent shall issue such shareholder, in exchange therefore, one or more certificates representing the number of whole shares of Eagle Common Stock into which such holder’s shares of Fidelity Common Stock have been converted, or at the election of Eagle, a statement reflecting the issuance of uncertificated shares, together with a check in the amount of any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Eagle Common Stock.

(c) Eagle shall have the right to make rules, not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, governing the validity and effectiveness of letters of transmittal.

(d) All Fidelity Common Stock certificates must be surrendered to the Exchange Agent within twelve months of the Effective Time. In the event that any former shareholder of Fidelity shall not have properly surrendered his or her certificates within such period, the shares of Eagle Common Stock that would otherwise have been issued to such shareholder may, at the option of Eagle, be sold and the net proceeds of such sale, together with any cash in respect of fractional shares and any previously accrued dividends, shall be held by Eagle for such shareholder’s benefit in a non-interest bearing deposit account at EagleBank or another depository institution, the deposits of which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), chosen by Eagle in its discretion, and the sole right of such shareholder shall be the right to receive any certificates for Eagle common stock which have not been so sold, and to collect cash in such account, without interest. Subject to all applicable laws of escheat, such amounts shall be paid to such former shareholder of Fidelity, without interest, upon proper surrender of his or her Fidelity Common Stock certificates.

(e) All dollar amounts payable to any shareholder as a result of the payment of cash consideration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upward), based on the aggregate consideration payable for all shares registered in such shareholder’s name.

(f) Following the Effective Time, certificates which formerly represented shares of Fidelity Common Stock (except for certificates representing shares held in treasury or by any Fidelity Subsidiary (other than in a fiduciary capacity), by Eagle or any Eagle Subsidiary (other than in a fiduciary capacity) or Dissenting Shares)) shall be deemed for all purposes to represent the number of whole shares of Eagle Common Stock into which they have been converted, except that until exchanged in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.3, the holders of such shares shall not be entitled to receive dividends or other distributions or payments in respect of Eagle Common Stock.

2.4. Dissenters’ Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, each share of Fidelity Common Stock that is held by a shareholder (“Dissenting Stockholder”) who properly exercises and perfects the right to demand and receive payment of the fair value for such share of Fidelity Common Stock (a “Dissenting Share”) in accordance with Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the MGCL (“Dissenters Rights”) shall not be converted into or exchanged for a right to receive any part of the Merger Consideration pursuant to this Agreement, but instead shall be deemed converted as of the Effective Time into the right to

receive such amount as shall be determined to be payable pursuant to Dissenters Rights in accordance with the applicable provisions of the MGCL, without interest (the “Dissenter Payment”). Any Dissenter Payment for each Dissenting Share shall be paid by the Surviving Corporation in accordance with the applicable provisions of the MGCL. In the case of any Dissenting Shares held by a shareholder who effectively withdraws his/her exercise of Dissenters Rights in accordance with the applicable provisions of the MGCL or who fails to file a petition for appraisal within fifty (50) days after the Effective Time, such shares shall no longer be deemed Dissenting Shares but shall be deemed to have been converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration in accordance with the provisions of this Article II, and the provisions of this Section 2.4 shall not apply to such shares or such shareholder.

The September 30, 2007 consolidated balance sheet of Eagle (including the related notes, where applicable) fairly present the consolidated financial position of Eagle and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof, and the other financial statements referred to in this Section 3.5 hereof (including the related notes, where applicable) fairly present the results of the consolidated operations and changes in shareholders’ equity and consolidated financial position of Eagle and its Subsidiaries for the respective fiscal periods or as of the respective dates therein set forth; each of such statements (including the related notes, where applicable) comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with published rules and regulations with respect thereto; and each of such statements (including the related notes, where applicable) has been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except as indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of unaudited statements, as permitted by Form 10-Q. The fiscal year-end audits of Eagle and its Subsidiaries have been conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. The books and records of Eagle and its Subsidiaries have been, and are being, maintained in all material respects in accordance with GAAP and any other applicable legal and accounting requirements and reflect only actual transactions.

The minute books of Fidelity and F&T Bank accurately disclose all material corporate actions of their respective shareholders and Board of Directors and of all committees thereof.

Fidelity and F&T Bank are not, and as a result of the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the performance of their obligations hereunder and under the Bank Merger Agreement they will not be, in violation of any material licenses, sublicenses and other agreements as to which the Fidelity or F&T Bank is a party and pursuant to which Fidelity or F&T Bank is authorized to use any third-party patents, trademarks, service marks, and copyrights.

4.14. Employee Relations. (a) As of the date hereof, Fidelity and F&T Bank are in all material respects in compliance with all federal and state laws, regulations, and orders respecting employment and employment practices (including Title 7 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964), terms and conditions of employment, and wages and hours, and neither of them is engaged in any unfair labor practice, and there are no pending, or to the knowledge of Fidelity and F&T Bank, threatened actions, suits or proceedings, administrative, arbitrarial, civil, criminal or otherwise, seeking to impose on Fidelity or F&T Bank, any penalty, or to recover any damages from Fidelity or F&T Bank or any person to whom they may be obligated to provide indemnification or defense, as a result of the violation or alleged violation of any of such employment related laws, regulations or orders, and there is no basis for any of the foregoing. As of the date hereof, no dispute exists between Fidelity or F&T Bank and any of their respective employees or employee groups regarding employee organization, wages, hours, or conditions of employment which would materially interfere with the business or operations of Eagle. As of the date hereof, there are no labor or collective bargaining agreements (written or oral) binding upon Fidelity or F&T Bank or to which Fidelity or F&T Bank is a party, and no employment, severance, change in control or consulting agreements binding upon Fidelity or F&T Bank, or to which Fidelity or F&T Bank is a party. As of the date hereof, Fidelity and F&T Bank are not aware of any attempts to organize a collective bargaining unit to represent any of their respective employee groups. All contributions due on or prior to the date hereof to any pension, profit-sharing, or similar plan of Fidelity or F&T Bank have been paid or provided for in accordance with ERISA (as defined in Section 4.15), and all other applicable federal and state statutes and regulations.

(b) (i) Section 4.14 of the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule sets forth each employment contract, deferred compensation, non-competition, bonus, stock option, profit sharing, pension, deferred compensation, retirement, change in control, severance, incentive and insurance arrangement or plan, and any other remunerative or fringe benefit arrangement applicable to Fidelity or F&T Bank, including the amounts currently payable pursuant to any such arrangement.

(ii) No agreement, plan or arrangement disclosed or required to be disclosed in Section 4.14 of the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule would, as a result of this Agreement, the Merger, the Bank Merger Agreement or Bank Merger require Fidelity, any Fidelity Subsidiary, Eagle or any Eagle Subsidiary to make any payment in an amount which would constitute an “excess parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Code, result in the imposition of any tax under Section 4999 of the Code, the nondeductibility of any portion of such payment, or require any “gross up” payment.

(c) Each agreement, plan or arrangement of Fidelity or any Fidelity subsidiary that constitutes a “nonqualified deferred compensation plan” or provides for the payment of ‘nonqualified deferred compensation”, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the regulations and administrative guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) has been operated in compliance

with Section 409A. The execution, delivery and/or consummation of this Agreement, the Bank Merger Agreement, the Merger, the Bank Merger and the transactions contemplated thereby, and the payment or acceleration of the amounts set forth under any agreement, plan or arrangement disclosed or required to be disclosed in Section 4.14 of the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule, shall not result in the payment to any person of any amounts which are required to be reported as “nonqualified deferred compensation” under Section 409A.

4.15. ERISA and Benefit Plans. Section 4.15 of the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete list of Fidelity and any Fidelity Subsidiary’s employee pension benefit plans within the meaning of Section 3(2) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), profit sharing plans, stock purchase plans, deferred compensation and supplemental income plans, group insurance plans and all other employee welfare benefits plans within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA, maintained for the benefit of the employees or former employees, including any beneficiaries thereof, and directors or former directors of Fidelity and any Fidelity Subsidiary. Fidelity has delivered to Eagle a true and correct copy of each such employee benefit plan. Other than as set forth in Section 4.15 of the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule, neither Fidelity nor any Fidelity Subsidiary maintains any plans of the type described in this Section.

All “employee benefit plans” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) comply in all material respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code, and all other federal, state, or local laws. The assets of Fidelity and the Fidelity Subsidiaries are not subject to any liens under ERISA or the Code with respect to any employee benefit plan of Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary or an Affiliate (as defined below), and no event has occurred, or condition exists, which could subject Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary or their respective assets to a future liability, obligation, or lien arising out of any employee benefit plan of Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary or an Affiliate.

All employee benefit plans currently or previously maintained, sponsored, or contributed to by Fidelity or F&T Bank have been administered, maintained, and operated in accordance with their terms. All contributions, payments, fees or expenses relating to each such employee benefit plan that were deducted by Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary for income tax purposes were properly deductible in the year claimed. There are no actions, claims (other than routine benefit claims made in the ordinary course), proceedings or inquiries, pending or threatened, with respect to any such employee benefit plan, and neither Fidelity nor any Fidelity Subsidiary has any knowledge of any fact which could give rise to any such action, claim, proceeding or inquiry. Neither Fidelity, Bank, nor any other person or entity who or which is a party in interest (as defined in Section 3(14) of ERISA) or disqualified person (as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code) has acted or failed to act with respect to any such employee benefit plan in any manner which constitutes: (1) a breach of fiduciary responsibility under ERISA; (2) a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code; or (3) any other violation of ERISA or the Code. Neither Fidelity nor Bank is obligated to indemnify, reimburse, or contribute to the liabilities or expenses of any person or entity who may have committed or been involved in any such fiduciary breach, prohibited transaction, or ERISA or Code violation. Each such employee benefit plan which is intended to meet the requirements for tax-favored treatment under Subtitle A, Chapter 1 of the Code meets such requirements. Each such employee benefit plan that was intended to constitute a qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has, at all times, been qualified, in form and operation, under Section 401(a) of the Code (including the adoption of all necessary amendments to maintain such qualification) and has received a favorable determination letter; any related trust is and has, at all times, been exempt from income tax, and there has been no development, event, action or omission which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the qualification or status of any such plan.

Neither Fidelity, F&T Bank nor any Affiliate (as defined below) has ever maintained or contributed to a multiemployer plan (as defined in Section 3(37) of ERISA). All returns, reports, statements, notices, declarations or documents relating to an employee benefit plan that are required by law to be filed with or furnished to any federal, state, or local governmental agency have been timely filed. Any employee benefit plan (including any employee benefit plan of an Affiliate) that is a group health plan (as defined in Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code) has complied in each and every case with the requirements of Sections 601 through 607 of ERISA and Section 4980B of the Code and all other applicable federal, state, and local laws relating to continuation coverage (collectively “COBRA”), and no such plan provides benefits to former employees or their beneficiaries (except to the extent required under COBRA). Each employee benefit plan can be amended, modified, or terminated without participant consent and without additional liability accruing to Fidelity or F&T Bank after the date of Plan termination. For this purpose, liabilities accrued on or before the date of Plan termination shall be limited to the following: (1) in the case of an employee benefit pension plan (within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA), the participant’s “accrued benefit,” as defined in Section 3(23) of ERISA; and (2) in the case of an employee welfare benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA), claims for expenses, costs, or services (including, but not limited to, medical and other health care services) actually performed or incurred before the date of the Plan termination. Any prior amendment, modification, or termination of an employee benefit plan has been made in accordance with the terms of the Plan and applicable law.

For purposes of this Section 4.15, the term Affiliate means an entity included in the group of entities consisting of Fidelity or F&T Bank and all other entities that are treated as part of the same controlled group under Section 414(b), (c), (m) or (o) of the Code.

4.16. Contracts; Consents. (a) Neither Fidelity nor F&T Bank is a party to, and no property or assets of Fidelity or F&T Bank is subject to any contract, agreement, commitment, lease, sublease, license, arrangement, understanding or instrument (other than Loans) calling for payments in excess of $100,000 over the term of the contract or in any year (“Material Contract”). Each such Material Contract is valid and in full force and effect, and all parties thereto have in all material respects performed all obligations thereunder required to be performed to date, and are not in material default. Each Material Contract, and each lease of real property reflected in Section 4.10 to the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule, is assumable and assignable without consent of the other party thereto and does not contain any provision increasing or accelerating payments otherwise due, or changing or modifying the provisions or terms of such Material Contract as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

(b) Except for the governmental approvals referred to in Section 4.4 and as set forth in Section 4.16 to the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule, no consent, permission acquiescence, approval, or authorization of or by any third party is required to permit Fidelity and F&T Bank to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, and for Eagle, Holdings and EagleBank to have full use and enjoyment of each asset of Fidelity and F&T Bank.

4.17. Related Party Transactions. Neither Fidelity nor F&T Bank has any contract, extension of credit, business arrangement, depository relationship, or other relationship (written or oral) with (i) any present director or executive officer of Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary; (ii) any shareholder of Fidelity owning 5% or more of the Fidelity Common Stock; or (iii) any Reg O affiliate of the foregoing, except as disclosed in Section 4.17 to the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule. Each extension of credit disclosed in Section 4.17 to the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule has been made in the ordinary course of business, and on the same terms, including interest rate and

collateral, as those prevailing at the time for comparable arms-length transactions, and does not involve more than the normal risk of collectibility or present other unfavorable features.

4.18. Loans. (a) Each of the loans, including loans held for sale (“Loans”) of F&T Bank: (i) is evidenced by notes, agreements or other evidences of indebtedness which are true, genuine and what they purport to be; (ii) to the extent secured, has been secured by valid liens or security interests which have been perfected; and (iii) represents the legal, valid and binding obligation of the borrowers named therein, enforceable in accordance with its terms (including the validity, perfection and enforceability of any lien, security interest or other encumbrance relating to such loan), except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and subject to general principles of equity which may limit the enforcement of certain remedies.

(b) Each such loan was made in compliance with the provisions of applicable law and regulation, including but not limited to the Real Estate Settlement Practices Act, the Truth in Lending Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Fair Debt Collection Act, and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

(c) No default (including any event or circumstance which with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would constitute a default) in respect of any material provision (including any default in payment) of any such loan exists, and Fidelity and F&T Bank have no knowledge of any borrower’s inability to repay any of such loans when due, whether or not such borrower is currently in default.

(d) Neither Fidelity nor any Fidelity Subsidiary is a party to any oral loan or oral extension of credit.

(e) To the best of the knowledge of Fidelity and the Fidelity Subsidiaries, neither Fidelity nor any Fidelity Subsidiary has any liability or obligation to repurchase or reacquire any Loan, or purchase collateral in respect of any Loan, which was held for sale and which has previously been sold in the ordinary course of Fidelity’s discontinued mortgage origination/brokerage business (whether or not such loan has subsequently been reacquired by Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary) (“Sold Loans”), or to make any payment on any Sold Loan, or to make any payment to, reimburse, indemnify or hold harmless, or otherwise assume liability with respect to any loss, liability or expense incurred by, the purchaser (or subsequent purchaser) of any Sold Loan in respect of such Sold Loan, or is otherwise subject to any liability or recourse in respect of any Sold Loan. To the best of the knowledge of Fidelity and F&T Bank, neither Fidelity nor any Fidelity Subsidiary has any liability to any borrower as a result of the manner in which a Sold Loan was originated. Section 4.18(e) of the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule sets forth detail with respect to any exceptions hereto, including but not limited to the nature and extent of the liability, any limits (in time or dollar amount) on such liability, the basis of such liability, the instrument under which such potential liability arises, the nature and amount of Loans resulting in such liability and the identity of the party to whom Fidelity or F&T Bank may have such liability.

(f) To the best of the knowledge of Fidelity and the Fidelity Subsidiaries, no Sold Loan was originated in violation of the representations and warranties contained or incorporated by reference in any contract or agreement pursuant to which such Loan was sold or assigned, including but not limited to any representation or warranty regarding the absence of fraud,

misstatement of a material fact, omission of a material fact or a fact necessary to make the information provided not misleading, regarding the loan, the loan collateral, the borrower or the credit-worthiness of borrower), and any representation or warranty regarding the absence of any fact, circumstance or condition which would cause, or would reasonably be expected to cause, the purchaser of the Sold Loan, any subsequent purchaser, securitizer or guarantor of such loan (including but not limited to FNMA, FHLMC, GNMA, FHA or the VA) to regard such loan as unacceptable as an investment, ineligible for insurance, or which would otherwise cause them to consider the value or marketability of such loan to be adversely affected.

(g) Neither Fidelity nor any Fidelity Subsidiary currently services any Loan, including any Sold Loan, not currently held in portfolio, for any third party. The servicing and collection practices of Fidelity and each Fidelity Subsidiary with respect to Sold Loans at all times complied with applicable laws, and was in accordance with the terms and conditions of the agreements pursuant to which such Sold Loans were sold, whether such servicing was conducted by Fidelity, a Fidelity Subsidiary, their respective affiliates, a third party or a servicing agent of any of the foregoing.

4.19. Deposits. None of the deposits of F&T Bank are “brokered” deposits as such term is defined in the rules and regulations of the FDIC or are subject to any lien, encumbrance, legal restraint or other legal process (other than garnishments, pledges, set off rights, escrow limitations and similar actions taken in the ordinary course of business), and no portion of such deposits represents a deposit of any affiliate of Fidelity or F&T Bank.

4.20. Environmental Matters. Fidelity and F&T Bank have no knowledge, information or reason to believe that any environmental contaminant, pollutant, petroleum product, toxic or hazardous waste or similar or like substance is being or has been generated, used, stored, processed, disposed of, discharged at, or was or is otherwise present at any real estate now or previously owned or acquired (including without limitation any real estate acquired by means of foreclosure, transfer in lieu of foreclosure or by exercise of any other creditor’s right) or leased by Fidelity or F&T Bank, or any real estate which is pledged or stands as collateral security for any Loan or other extension of credit by Bank, except as disclosed in Section 4.20 of the Fidelity Disclosure Letter. There is no legal, administrative, arbitrarial or other proceeding, claim, action, cause of action or governmental proceeding or investigation of any nature whatsoever, seeking to impose, or that could result in the imposition, on Fidelity or F&T Bank of any liability arising under any local, state, or federal environmental statute, regulation, rule or ordinance, pending or, to the knowledge of Fidelity or F&T Bank, threatened against Fidelity or F&T Bank; and there is no reasonable basis for any of the foregoing; and neither Fidelity nor F&T Bank is subject to any agreement, order, judgment, decree or memorandum of any court, governmental authority, regulatory agency or third party imposing any such liability.

4.21. Litigation and Other Proceedings. Neither Fidelity nor any Fidelity Subsidiary is a party to any pending, or, to the knowledge of Fidelity and Fidelity Subsidiaries, threatened claim, action, suit, investigation or proceeding or subject to any order, judgment or decree, except for matters which, in the aggregate, cannot reasonably be anticipated to have, a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, business, properties or prospects of Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary taken as a whole, and there is no basis for any of the foregoing. Section 4.21 of the Fidelity Disclosure Schedule sets forth a complete and accurate list of all pending actions, suits, investigations or proceedings to which Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary is a party or which relate to any portion of their respective assets, and threatened actions, suits, investigation or proceedings

of which Fidelity or any Fidelity Subsidiary have knowledge, to which Fidelity or F&T Bank believes one or both may become a party or which relate to any portion of their respective assets. Fidelity and F&T Bank do not have any knowledge of any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding which presents a claim to prohibit, restrict or restrain the transactions contemplated hereby.

4.22. Absence of Undisclosed Liabilities. Except as reflected, noted and/or adequately reserved against in the Fidelity Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2006, Fidelity and the Fidelity Subsidiaries have no material liabilities (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise) which were required to be reflected, noted or reserved against in the balance sheet included therein under GAAP. Fidelity and the Fidelity Subsidiaries have not incurred, since December 31, 2006, any such liability, other than liabilities of the same nature as those set forth in the balance sheet, all of which have been incurred in the ordinary course of business as conducted prior to December 31, 2006.

(a) Fidelity and F&T Bank have all permits, licenses, certificates of authority, orders and approvals of, and have made all filings, applications and registrations with, federal, state, local or foreign governmental or regulatory bodies that are required in order to permit them to carry on their business as presently conducted and the absence of which would have a material adverse effect on such business; all such permits, licenses, certificates of authority, orders and approvals are in full force and effect, and, to the best knowledge of Fidelity and F&T Bank, no suspension or cancellation of any of them is threatened; and all such filings, applications and registrations are current.

4.25. Proxy Statement, Etc. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by Fidelity or F&T Bank for inclusion, or included, in (i) the Proxy Statement; (ii) the Registration Statement; or (iii) any other documents to be filed with any regulatory agency in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby will, at the respective times such information is supplied or such documents are filed or mailed, be false or misleading with respect to any material fact, or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which the statement was made.
