(ii) The obligation of Purchasers to consummate the purchase of the Notes to be purchased by them at Closing is also subject to the fulfillment by the Company or written waiver by each Purchaser prior to the Closing of each of the following conditions:

(1) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects on and as of the date of this Agreement and on and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date, except where the failure to be true and correct (without regard to any materiality or Material Adverse Effect qualifications contained therein), individually or in the aggregate, would not be reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect (and except that (i) representations and warranties made as of a specified date shall only be required to be true and correct as of such date and (ii) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Sections 2.2(b) (but only with respect to the last sentence thereof) and 2.2(c) shall be true and correct in all respects);

- 2 -

Institutions (the “Montana DBF”) or any other Governmental Entity, which imposes any restriction or condition which any Purchaser determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, is materially and unreasonably burdensome on the Company’s or such Purchaser’s business or would materially reduce the economic benefits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to such Purchaser to such a degree that such Purchaser would not have entered into this Agreement had such condition or restriction been known to it on the date hereof (any such condition or restriction, a “Burdensome Condition”), and, for the avoidance of doubt, (i) any requirements to disclose the identities of limited partners, shareholders or members of such Purchaser or its Affiliates or its investment advisors, other than the identities of Affiliates of such Purchaser, shall be deemed a Burdensome Condition unless otherwise determined by such Purchaser in its sole discretion and (ii) any restrictions or conditions imposed on such Purchaser in any passivity commitments shall not be deemed a Burdensome Condition.

(iii) The obligation of the Company to effect the Closing is subject to the fulfillment or written waiver by the Company prior to the Closing of the following additional conditions:

(2) each Purchaser shall have performed in all material respects all obligations required to be performed by it at or prior to the Closing, as the case may be, under this Agreement to be performed by it on or prior to the Closing Date;

(3) the Company shall have received a certificate signed on behalf of each Purchaser by a duly authorized person certifying to the effect that the conditions set forth in Sections 1.2(c)(iii)(1) and 1.2(c)(iii)(2) have been satisfied; and

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 2.1 Disclosure.

(a) On or prior to the date hereof, the Company delivered to Purchasers and Purchasers delivered to the Company a letter (a “Disclosure Letter”) setting forth, among other things, items the disclosure of which is (i) required by an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision hereof or (ii) necessary or appropriate to take exception to one or more representations or warranties contained in Section 2.2 with respect to the Company, or in Section 2.3 with respect to Purchasers, or to one or more covenants contained in Article III; provided, that if such information is disclosed in such a way as to make its relevance or applicability to another provision of this Agreement reasonably apparent on its face, such information shall be deemed to be responsive to such other provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the mere inclusion of an item in a Disclosure Letter shall not be deemed an admission that such item represents a

- 3 -

material exception or material fact, event or circumstance or that such item has had or would reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) As used in this Agreement, any reference to any fact, change, circumstance or effect being “material” with respect to the Company means such fact, change, circumstance or effect is material in relation to the business, assets, results of operations or financial condition of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole. As used in this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” means any circumstance, event, change, development or effect that, individually or in the aggregate, (1) is material and adverse to the business, assets, results of operations or financial condition of the Company and Company Subsidiaries taken as a whole or (2) would materially impair the ability of the Company to perform its obligations under this Agreement or to consummate the Closing; provided, that in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred, there shall be excluded any effect to the extent resulting from the following: (A) changes, after the date hereof, in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) or regulatory accounting principles generally applicable to banks, savings associations or their holding companies, (B) changes, after the date hereof, in applicable laws, rules and regulations or interpretations thereof by Governmental Entities, (C) actions or omissions of the Company expressly required by the terms of this Agreement or the Notes or taken with the prior written consent of Purchasers, (D) changes in general economic, monetary or financial conditions in the United States, (E) changes in global or national political conditions, including the outbreak or escalation of war or acts of terrorism, (F) the failure of the Company to meet any internal projections, forecasts, estimates or guidance for any period ending after December 31, 2014 (but not excluding the underlying causes of such failure), or (G) the public disclosure of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, further, however, that if any event described in clause (A), (B), (D) or (E) of this Section 2.1(b) occurs and such event has a materially disproportionate effect on the Company relative to other banks, savings associations and their holding companies in the United States, then such event will be deemed to have had a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) “Previously Disclosed” with regard to a party means information set forth on its Disclosure Letter, and in the case of the Company, also includes any information set forth in any of the Company’s SEC Reports.

Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties of the Company.

(a) Organization and Authority. Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries is a corporation, bank or other entity duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified except where any failure to be so qualified would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, and has the corporate or other organizational power and authority to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. The Company is duly registered as a bank holding company under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended, and under applicable state Laws.

(i) The Company has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Notes (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and to perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

The Board of Directors has duly approved the agreements and the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. No other corporate proceedings are necessary for the execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents, the performance by it of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The Transaction Documents have been, and when delivered at the Closing will be, duly and validly executed and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by Purchasers and the other parties thereto, are, or in the case of documents executed after the date of this Agreement, will be, upon execution, the valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights or by general equity principles (whether applied in equity or at law).

(ii) Neither the execution and delivery by the Company of the Transaction Documents nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, nor compliance by the Company with any of the provisions hereof or thereof, will (A) violate, conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under, or result in the termination of, or result in the loss of any benefit or creation of any right on the part of any third party under, or accelerate the performance required by, or result in a right of termination or acceleration of, or result in the creation of any liens, charges, adverse rights or claims, pledges, covenants, title defects, security interests and other encumbrances of any kind (“Liens”) upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (i) the articles of incorporation or bylaws (or similar governing documents) of the Company and each Company Subsidiary or (ii) any note, bond, mortgage, indenture, deed of trust, license, lease, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries, or any of the properties or assets of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries may be subject, or (B) violate any Law applicable to the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties or assets except in the case of clauses (A)(ii) and (B) of this paragraph for such violations, conflicts and breaches as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Governmental Consents. The Company has obtained any governmental and other consents, approvals, authorizations, non-objections, applications, and qualifications that are required to be obtained in connection with the issuance of the Notes and performance under the Transaction Documents and no governmental orders, permissions, consents, approvals or authorizations are required to be obtained by Company that have not been obtained, and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed by Company that have not been filed in connection with, or, in contemplation of,

- 5 -

the execution and delivery of, and performance under, the Transaction Documents, except for applicable requirements, if any, of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or state securities laws or “blue sky” laws of the various states and any applicable federal or state banking laws and regulations.

(e) Litigation and Other Proceedings. Except as would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, there is no pending or, to the Knowledge of the Company, threatened claim, action, suit, arbitration, complaint, charge or investigation or proceeding (each an “Action”) against the Company or any Company Subsidiary or any of its assets, rights or properties, nor is the Company or any Company Subsidiary a party or named as subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, settlement, judgment or decree of any court, arbitrator or government agency, or instrumentality. The Company is in compliance with all existing decisions, orders, and agreements of or with Governmental Entities to which it is subject or bound, except where any such failure to comply would not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f) Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s SEC Reports (including the related notes, where applicable) (i) have been prepared from, and are in accordance with, the books and records of the Company; (ii) fairly present in all material respects the results of operations, cash flows, changes in stockholders’ equity and financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries, for the respective fiscal periods or as of the respective dates therein set forth (subject in the case of unaudited statements to recurring year-end audit adjustments normal in nature and amount), as applicable; (iii) complied as to form, as of their respective dates of filing in all material respects with applicable accounting and banking requirements as applicable, with respect thereto; and (iv) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied during the periods involved, except, in each case, as indicated in such statements or in the notes thereto and Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company does not have any material liability of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise and whether due or to become due), except for those liabilities that are reflected or reserved against on the consolidated balance sheet of the Company contained in the Company’s SEC Reports for the Company’s most recently completed quarterly or annual fiscal period, as applicable, and for liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Bank’s allowance for loan losses is in compliance in all material respects with (A) the Bank’s methodology for determining the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses and (B) the standards established by applicable Governmental Entities and the Financial Accounting Standards Board.

(g) Reports. The Company is subject to, and is in compliance in all material respects with, the reporting requirements of Section 13 and Section 15(d), as applicable, of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and the regulations of the SEC thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”). The Company’s SEC Reports at the time they were or hereafter are filed with the SEC, complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and did not and do not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(h) Internal Controls over Financial Reporting, Disclosure Controls and Procedures.

(i) The Company and its Subsidiaries maintain systems of “internal control over financial reporting” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act and have been designed by, or under the supervision of, their respective principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of

- 6 -

financial statements for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including, but not limited to, a system of accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences. Since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, (y) the Company has no knowledge of (i) any material weakness in Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) or (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal controls and (z) there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

(ii) The Company and its Subsidiaries maintain an effective system of disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Exchange Act), that (i) are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that material information relating to the Company and its Subsidiaries is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer by others within the Company and its Subsidiaries to allow timely decisions regarding disclosure, and (ii) are effective in all material respects to perform the functions for which they were established. As of the date hereof, the Company has no knowledge that would reasonably cause it to believe that the evaluation to be conducted of the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures for the most recently ended fiscal quarter period will result in a finding that such disclosure controls and procedures are ineffective for such quarter ended.

(i) Absence of Certain Changes. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements included in Company’s SEC Reports, there has been no development or event which has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company.

(j) Compliance with Laws. The Company and each Company Subsidiary have all permits, licenses, franchises, authorizations, orders and approvals of, and have made all filings, applications and registrations with, Governmental Entities that are required in order to permit them to own or lease their properties and assets and to carry on their business as presently conducted and that are material to the business of the Company and each Company Subsidiary, except where the failure to have such permits, licenses, franchises, authorizations, orders and approvals, or to have made such filings, applications and registrations, would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The Company and each Company Subsidiary have complied in all material respects and (1) are not in default or violation in any respect of, (2) to the Company’s Knowledge, are not under investigation with respect to, and (3) to the Company’s Knowledge, have not been threatened to be charged with or given notice of any material violation of, any applicable material domestic (federal, state or local) or foreign law, statute, ordinance, license, rule, regulation, policy or guideline, order, demand, writ, injunction, decree or judgment of any Governmental Entity (each, a “Law”), other than such noncompliance, defaults or violations that would not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Except for statutory or regulatory restrictions of general application, no Governmental Entity has placed any material restriction on the business or properties of the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries. As of the date hereof, the Bank has a Community Reinvestment Act rating of “satisfactory” or better.

- 7 -

(k) Agreements with Regulatory Agencies. Neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary (A) is subject to any cease-and-desist or other similar order or enforcement action issued by, (B) is a party to any written agreement, consent agreement or memorandum of understanding with, (C) is a party to any commitment letter or similar undertaking to, or (D) is subject to any capital directive by, and since December 31, 2014, neither of the Company nor any Company Subsidiary has adopted any board resolutions at the request of, any Governmental Entity that currently restricts in any material respect the conduct of its business or that in any material manner relates to its capital adequacy, its liquidity and funding policies and practices, its ability to pay dividends, its credit, risk management or compliance policies, its internal controls, its management or its operations or business (each item in this sentence, a “Regulatory Agreement”), nor has the Company nor any of the Company Subsidiaries been advised since December 31, 2014, by any Governmental Entity that it is considering issuing, initiating, ordering, or requesting any such Regulatory Agreement.

(l) Brokers and Finders. The Company has engaged FIG Partners, LLC (the “Placement Agent”), a registered broker-dealer subject to the rules and regulations of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”), in connection with the offer and sale of the Notes as contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except for such engagement, neither the Company nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any financial advisory fees, brokerage fees, commissions or finder’s fees, and no broker or finder has acted directly or indirectly for the Company in connection with the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

(m) Tax Matters. The Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries has (i) filed all material foreign, U.S. federal, state and local tax returns, information returns and similar reports that are required to be filed, and all such tax returns are true, correct and complete in all material respects, and (ii) paid all material taxes required to be paid by it and any other material assessment, fine or penalty levied against it other than taxes (x) currently payable without penalty or interest, or (y) being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

(n) Offering of Securities. Neither the Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has taken any action which would subject the offering, issuance or sale of the Notes to the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Neither the Company nor any Person acting on its behalf has engaged or will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act) in connection with any offer or sale of the Notes pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Assuming the accuracy of Purchasers’ representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Notes by the Company to Purchasers.

(o) Investment Company Status. The Company is not, and upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents will not be, an “investment company,” a company controlled by an “investment company” or an “affiliated Person” of, or “promoter” or “principal underwriter” of, an “investment company,” as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Section 2.3 Representations and Warranties of Purchasers.

Except as Previously Disclosed, each Purchaser, severally, but not jointly, hereby represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent made only as of a specified date, in which case as of such date), that:

- 8 -

(a) Organization and Authority. Such Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization, is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where its ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of its business requires it to be so qualified and where failure to be so qualified would be reasonably expected to materially and adversely affect such Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on a timely basis, and such Purchaser has the corporate or other power and authority and governmental authorizations to own its properties and assets and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted.

(b) Authorization.

(i) Such Purchaser has the corporate or other power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder.

Such Purchaser recognizes that an investment in the Notes involves substantial risk, and has the ability to bear the economic risk of the prospective investment in the Notes, including the ability to hold the Notes indefinitely, and further including the ability to bear a complete loss of all of its investment in the Company.

(j) Information. Such Purchaser acknowledges that: (i) it is not being provided with the disclosures that would be required if the offer and sale of the Notes were registered under the

- 10 -

Such Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that all certificates or other instruments representing the Notes will bear the restrictive legend set forth in the form of Note, which is attached as an exhibit to this Agreement. Such Purchasger further acknowledges its primary responsibilities under the Securities Act and, accordingly, will not sell or otherwise transfer the Notes or any interest therein without complying with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and the requirements set forth in this Agreement. Such Purchaser represents that it understands the resale limitations imposed by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act and by the Securities Act on the Notes.

(m) Conduct of Subsequent Transfers. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Company is not conducting any offering other than the sale to Purchasers set forth in this Agreement, and each Purchaser agrees that any subsequent re-sale of the Notes, including into a securitization, shall be done in a manner that does not create liability for the Company.

(n) Accuracy of Representations. Such Purchaser understands that each of the Placement Agent and the Company will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representations, acknowledgements and agreements in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and agrees that if any of the representations or acknowledgements made by it are no longer accurate as of the Closing Date, or if any of the agreements made by it are breached on or prior to the Closing Date, it shall promptly notify the Placement Agent and the Company.

In connection with any such Secondary Market Transaction, the Company shall, at the Company’s expense, use all reasonable efforts and cooperate fully and in good faith with Purchasers and otherwise assist Purchasers in satisfying the market standards to which Purchasers customarily adhere or which may be reasonably required in the marketplace or by applicable rating agencies in connection with any such Secondary Market Transactions, but in no event shall the Company be required to incur more than $5,000 in costs or expenses in connection therewith.

Section 4.5 Tier 2 Capital.

If all or any portion of the Notes ceases to be deemed to be Tier 2 Capital, other than due to the limitation imposed on the capital treatment of subordinated debt during the five (5) years immediately preceding the maturity date of the Notes, the Company will immediately notify the Purchasers, and thereafter, subject to the Company’s right to redeem the Notes under such circumstances pursuant to the terms of the Notes, the Company and the Purchasers will work together in good faith to execute and deliver all agreements as reasonably necessary in order to restructure the applicable portions of the obligations evidenced by the Notes to qualify as Tier 2 Capital.

[REVERSE SIDE OF NOTE]

EAGLE BANCORP MONTANA, INC.

6.75% SUBORDINATED NOTES DUE 2025

The Company promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Subordinated Note, commencing on June 19, 2015, until June 19, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”), or such earlier date as this Subordinated Note is paid in full, at the rate of simple interest of six and three quarters percent (6.75%) per annum. The unpaid principal balance of this Subordinated Note plus all accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, or such earlier date on which such amount shall become due and payable. This Subordinated Note is one of the Subordinated Notes referred to in that certain Subordinated Note Purchase Agreement, dated June 19, 2015, among the Company, the Holder and the other Purchasers named therein (the “Purchase Agreement”) and is entitled to the benefits thereof. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Purchase Agreement.

1. Computation and Payment of Interest. This Subordinated Note will bear interest at the rate set forth above from and including each Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (or in the case of the initial Interest Payment Date, from June 19, 2015, to, but excluding, June 30, 2015), or in the case of the final Interest Payment Date, the Maturity Date. Interest on this Subordinated Note shall be paid in arrears on each Interest Payment Date to holders of record on the Applicable Record Date. The initial Interest Payment Date shall be June 30, 2015. Other than the initial Interest Payment Date and the final Interest Payment Date, “Interest Payment Date” shall mean March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year through June 19, 2025. “Applicable Record Date” shall mean March 15 with respect to any Interest Payment Date on March 31, June 15 with respect to any Interest Payment Date on June 30, September 15 with respect to any Interest Payment Date on September 30, and December 15 with respect to any Interest Payment Date on December 31. Interest shall be computed on the basis of 30-day months and a year of 360 days. If any payment of interest or principal is not paid in full when the same becomes due and payable, then interest will be compounded quarterly.

2. Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by the Company hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without change in any computation of interest with respect to such payment (or any succeeding payment). “Business Day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any other day on which banking institutions in Montana are permitted or required by any applicable law or executive order to close.

3. Transfer. The Company or its agent (the “Registrar”) shall maintain a register of each holder of the Subordinated Notes. The Company shall be entitled to treat each Person in its register as the beneficial owner of this Subordinated Note. The Subordinated Notes will initially be issued in certificated form, but may be issued in global and book-entry form as provided in Section 4 below. This Subordinated Note may be transferred in whole or in part at the principal offices of the Company or Registrar, accompanied by due endorsement or written

instrument of transfer. Upon such surrender and presentment, the Company or the Registrar shall issue one or more Subordinated Notes with an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of this Subordinated Note and registered in such name or names requested by the holder of record, and shall update its register accordingly. Such transferee shall be solely responsible for delivering to the Company or the Registrar a mailing address or other information necessary for the Company or the Registrar to deliver notices and payments to such transferee.

4. Global Subordinated Notes.

(a) Provided that applicable depositary eligibility requirements are met, upon the written election of Holders of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in principal amount of outstanding Subordinated Notes, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide that the Subordinated Notes owned by Holders that are Qualified Institutional Buyers, as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, shall be issued in the form of one or more Global Subordinated Notes registered in the name of The Depository Trust Company or another organization registered as a clearing agency under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and designated as Depositary by the Company or any successor thereto (the “Depositary”) or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Global Subordinated Note may be exchanged in whole or in part for Subordinated Notes registered, and no transfer of a Global Subordinated Note in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Subordinated Note or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary advises the Company in writing that such Depositary is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as Depositary with respect to such Global Subordinated Note, and no qualified successor is appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days of receipt by the Company of such notice, (ii) such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and no successor is appointed by the Company within ninety (90) days after obtaining knowledge of such event, (iii) the Company elects to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary, or (iv) an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence of any event specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) above, the Company or its agent shall notify the Depositary and instruct the Depositary to notify all owners of beneficial interests in such Global Subordinated Note of the occurrence of such event and of the availability of Certificated Subordinated Notes to such owners of beneficial interests requesting the same.

(c) If any Global Subordinated Note is to be exchanged for other Subordinated Notes or canceled in part, or if another Subordinated Note is to be exchanged in whole or in part for a beneficial interest in any Global Subordinated Note, then either (i) such Global Subordinated Note shall be so surrendered for exchange or cancellation as provided in this Section 4 or (ii) the principal amount thereof shall be reduced or increased by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged or canceled, or equal to the principal amount of such other Subordinated Note to be so exchanged for a beneficial interest therein, as the case may be, by means of an appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Company or

Registrar, whereupon the Company or the Registrar, in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary (“Applicable Depositary Procedures”), shall instruct the Depositary or its authorized representative to make a corresponding adjustment to its records. Upon any such surrender or adjustment of a Global Subordinated Note by the Depositary, accompanied by registration instructions, the Company shall execute and deliver any Subordinated Notes issuable in exchange for such Global Subordinated Note (or any portion thereof) in accordance with the instructions of the Depositary.

(d) Every Subordinated Note executed and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Subordinated Note or any portion thereof shall be executed and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Subordinated Note, unless such Subordinated Note is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Subordinated Note or a nominee thereof.

(e) The Depositary or its nominee, as the registered owner of a Global Subordinated Note, shall be the Holder of such Global Subordinated Note for all purposes under this Subordinated Note, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Subordinated Note shall hold such interests pursuant to Applicable Depositary Procedures. Accordingly, any such owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Subordinated Note shall be shown only on, and the transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee or its Depositary participants. The Registrar shall be entitled to deal with the Depositary for all purposes relating to a Global Subordinated Note (including the payment of principal and interest thereon and the giving of instructions or directions by owners of beneficial interests therein and the giving of notices) as the sole holder of the Subordinated Note and shall have no obligations to the owners of beneficial interests therein. The Registrar shall have no liability in respect of any transfers affected by the Depositary.

(f) The rights of owners of beneficial interests in a Global Subordinated Note shall be exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between such owners and the Depositary and/or its participants.

(g) No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Subordinated Note held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have any rights with respect to such Global Subordinated Note, and such Depositary may be treated by the Company and any agent of the Company as the owner of such Global Subordinated Note for all purposes whatsoever. Neither the Company nor any agent of the Company will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Subordinated Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company or any agent of the Company from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by a Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of any Subordinated Note.

5. Affirmative Covenants of the Company. During the time that any portion of the principal balance of this Subordinated Note is unpaid and outstanding, the Company shall take or cause to be taken the actions set forth below.

(a) Notice of Certain Events. The Company shall provide written notice to the Holder of the occurrence following the date of this Subordinated Note of the following events as soon as practicable but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days following the Company’s public disclosure of the occurrence of such event:

In the event of any such proceedings, after payment in full of all sums owing on such prior obligations, the Holder, together with holders of any obligations of the Company ranking on a parity with this Subordinated Note, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Company the unpaid principal thereof and any interest thereon 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 Company ranking junior to this Subordinated Note. Nothing herein shall impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Subordinated Note according to its terms.

10. Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Amendment of Notes. Except as otherwise provided in Section 9 hereof, and subject to any necessary regulatory approval, the Subordinated Notes may, with the consent of the Company and the Holders of more than 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Notes then outstanding, be amended or any provision, past default, or non-compliance thereof waived; provided, however, that, without the consent of each Holder of an affected Subordinated Note, no such amendment or waiver may:

(i) reduce the principal amount of the Subordinated Note;

(iii) extend the maturity of any Subordinated Note;

(b) Effectiveness of Amendments. An amendment or waiver becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every holder of the Subordinated Notes, unless otherwise provided by Section 10(a) above. After an amendment or waiver becomes effective, the Company shall mail to the Holder a copy of such amendment or waiver. The Company may require the Holder to surrender this Subordinated Note so that an appropriate notation concerning the amendment or waiver may be placed thereon or a new Subordinated Note, reflecting the amendment or waiver, exchanged therefor. Even if such a notation is not made or such a new Subordinated Note is not issued, such amendment or waiver and any consent given thereto by a Holder of this Subordinated Note shall be binding according to its terms on any subsequent Holder of this Subordinated Note.

(c) Amendments Without Consent of Holders. Notwithstanding Section 10(a) hereof but subject to the proviso contained in subsections (i) through (vi) therein, the

Company may amend or supplement this Subordinated Note without the consent of the holders of the Subordinated Notes to: (i) cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency therein; (ii) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes; or (iii) make any other change, in each case, that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of any Subordinated Note.

11. Order of Payments; Pari Passu.

Holder acknowledges and agrees that the payment of all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of this Subordinated Note and all interest hereon shall be pari passu in right of payment and in all other respects to the other Subordinated Notes. In the event Holder receives payments in excess of its pro rata share of the Company’s payments to the holders of all of the Subordinated Notes, then Holder shall hold in trust all such excess payments for the benefit of the holders of the other Subordinated Notes and shall pay such amounts held in trust to such other holders upon demand by such holders.

12. Optional Redemption.

(a) Redemption Prior to Fifth Anniversary. This Subordinated Note shall not be redeemable by the Company prior to the fifth anniversary of the effective date of this Subordinated Note, except that in the event (i) this Subordinated Note no longer qualifies as “Tier 2” capital (as defined by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve) as a result of a change in interpretation or application of law or regulation by any judicial, legislative or regulatory authority that becomes effective after the date of issuance of this Subordinated Note, (ii) of a Tax Event (as defined below), or (iii) the Company becomes required to register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, the Company may redeem this Subordinated Note, in whole or in part, at an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount outstanding plus accrued but unpaid interest to but excluding the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”). “Tax Event” means the receipt by the Company of an opinion of counsel to the Company that as a result of any amendment to, or change (including any final and adopted (or enacted) prospective change) in, the laws (or any regulations thereunder) of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or as a result of any official administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, there exists a material risk that interest payable by the Company on the Subordinated Notes is not, or within one hundred twenty (120) days after the receipt of such opinion will not be, deductible by the Company, in whole or in part, for United States federal income tax purposes.

(b) Redemption on or After Fifth Anniversary. On or after the fifth anniversary of the effective date of this Subordinated Note, this Subordinated Note shall be redeemable by the Company, in whole or in part, for a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of this Subordinated Note, or portion thereof, to be redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest, if any, thereon to, but excluding, the Redemption Date.

(c) Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption of this Subordinated Note shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the Holder at its last address appearing on the books of the Company. Such mailing shall be at least thirty (30) days and not

more than sixty (60) days before the Redemption Date. Any notice mailed as provided in this Subordinated Note shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to the Holder shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other holders of the Notes. Each notice of redemption given to the Holder shall state: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the principal amount of this Subordinated Note to be redeemed; (iii) the redemption price; and (iv) the place or places where this Subordinated Note is to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

(d) Partial Redemption. If less than the then outstanding principal amount of this Subordinated Note is redeemed, (i) a new note shall be issued representing the unredeemed portion without charge to the Holder thereof and (ii) such redemption shall be effected on a pro rata basis as to the Holders of the Subordinated Notes. For purposes of clarity, upon a partial redemption, a like percentage of the principal amount of every Subordinated Note held by every Holder shall be redeemed.

(e) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the Redemption Date all funds necessary for the redemption have been deposited by the Company, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the Holders of the Subordinated Notes called for redemption, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then, notwithstanding that any Subordinated Notes so called for redemption have not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the Redemption Date interest shall cease to accrue on all Subordinated Notes so called for redemption, all Subordinated Notes so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such Subordinated Notes shall forthwith on such Redemption Date cease and terminate, except only the right of the Holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption held in trust, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of three years from the Redemption Date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the Company, after which time the Holders of the Subordinated Notes so called for redemption shall look only to the Company for payment of the redemption price of such Subordinated Notes.

(f) Federal Reserve Approval. Any redemption or prepayment of this Note shall be subject to receipt of prior written approval by the Federal Reserve (or any successor bank regulatory agency having supervisory authority over the Issuer) and any and all other required federal and state regulatory approvals.

13. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and, for purposes of this Subordinated Note, shall be delivered in accordance with, and effective as provided in, the Purchase Agreement.

14. Conflicts; Governing Law; Interpretation. In the case of any conflict between the provisions of this Subordinated Note and the Purchase Agreement, the provisions of this Subordinated Note shall control. This Subordinated Note shall be construed in accordance with, and be governed by the laws of, the State of Delaware without giving effect to any conflicts of law provisions of such laws. This Subordinated Note is intended to meet the criteria for qualification of the outstanding principal as Tier 2 capital under the regulatory guidelines of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

15. Successors and Assigns. This Subordinated Note shall be binding upon the Company and inure to the benefit of the Holder and its respective successors and permitted assigns. The Holder may assign all, or any part of, or any interest in, the Holder’s rights and benefits hereunder only to the extent and in the manner permitted in the Purchase Agreement. To the extent of any such assignment, such assignee shall have the same rights and benefits against the Company and shall agree to be bound by and to comply with the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement as it would have had if it were the Holder hereunder.

16. Waivers. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of the Holder in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Subordinated Note shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
