(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.07, if, at any time, Patriot or CapGen, as applicable, owns 9.9% or less of the outstanding shares of Company Common Stock, then Patriot’s or CapGen’s right, as applicable, to nominate such members to the Company’s board of directors, the Bank’s board of directors, and the board of directors of any other subsidiary requested by Patriot or CapGen, as applicable, granted by this Section 6.07 will terminate and such right will be lost permanently, irrespective of whether Patriot’s or CapGen’s, as applicable, ownership of Company Common Stock increases again after the loss of such right.

“(a) In the event that at any time from the date hereof through the 365^th day following the date of termination of this Agreement (1) by the Company or (2) by CapGen as a result of a breach of Section 6.14 by the Company, upon or following any of the Company or any affiliate of the Company entering into one or more Alternative Transaction Agreements with respect to any Alternative Transaction or an Alternative Transaction is proposed to be consummated outside of this Agreement and specific performance pursuant to Section 9.02 is unavailable for any reason, then upon the determination of CapGen and Investors that are then parties to this Agreement (excluding any Investor that is or will be a party to the Alternative Transaction) which have subscribed to two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the Purchased Securities to be purchased by CapGen and such other remaining Investors:

(i) CapGen and all such Investors that are then parties to this Agreement (excluding any Investor that is or will be a party to the Alternative Transaction) shall receive the product of (x) the positive difference, if any,

8

between the Alternative Transaction Amount and $2.60 and (y) 38,461,540 (the “Alternative Transaction Payment”) with CapGen being entitled to 70% of the total Alternative Transaction Payment and the other Investors that are then parties to this Agreement (excluding any Investor that is or will be a party to the Alternative Transaction) being entitled to 30% of the Alternative Transaction Payment; or

(ii) The Company and the parties to the Alternative Transaction will deliver to CapGen and the other Investors that are then parties to this Agreement (excluding any Investor that is or will be a party to the Alternative Transaction) the same number of (x) shares of Company Common Stock as the As-adjusted Purchased Shares or (y) the Alternative Transaction Securities that would result from the As-adjusted Purchased Shares, in each case at a price per share equal to the lesser of (A) the price per share to be paid by counterparties to the Alternative Transaction or the shareholders of such counterparties and (B) $2.60 per share. If, however, Alternative Transaction Consideration cannot be delivered for any reason as a result of pending Regulatory Approvals applicable to CapGen or any such other Investor and which approvals are expected by CapGen or such other Investor to be received no more than 80 days from the date the Alternative Transaction Agreement was entered into, then each of CapGen and any such other Investor separately and individually may elect to defer receipt of the Alternative Transaction Compensation for up to 80 days or demand, at any time, in lieu of the Alternative Transaction Compensation, the Alternative Transaction Payment;

provided, that, if the Alternative Transaction Payment is selected, in no event except as set forth in Section 9.18(b) below, shall CapGen and the Investors receive less than an aggregate of $5.0 million allocated 70% to CapGen and 30% to all the other Investors that are then parties to this Agreement (excluding any Investor that is or will be a party to the Alternative Transaction).

(b) Notwithstanding the proviso at the end of Subsection 9.18(a) indicated above and without duplicating the minimum amount set forth in the preceding clause, in the event of an Alternative Transaction where the consideration paid to the Company is the same or less per share or per equivalent share than that paid per share or per equivalent share hereunder, then the Company shall pay CapGen and the other Investors a transaction fee of $5.0 million, with CapGen being entitled to 70% of the total Alternative Transaction Payment and the other Investors that are then parties to this Agreement (excluding any Investor that is or will be a party to the Alternative Transaction) being entitled to 30%. In no event shall more than one such $5 million payment be made. If an Alternative Transaction consists of an aggregate investment of less than $85 million, no Alternative Transaction Payment or Alternative Transaction fee shall be payable.

(c) Any Alternative Transaction Payment and other cash payable otherwise under this Section 9.18 will be payable jointly and severally by the

9

Company, the Bank and the Company’s counterparties to such Alternative Transaction. Except as CapGen may elect under this Subsection 9.18(b), any Alternative Transaction Compensation or Alternative Transaction Payment shall be payable immediately upon the entry into the Alternative Transaction Agreement.

(d) The Alternative Transaction Payment or the Alternative Transaction Compensation will not be payable upon termination of this Agreement only if (i) the Company’s Board has unanimously approved this Agreement and the Transaction contemplated herein and recommended that the Company’s shareholders vote to approve the Transaction and has not modified or rescinded such approval or modified or withdrawn such recommendation to the Company’s shareholders, (ii) the Company’s directors and officers have voted all their shares of Company Common Stock as provided in Section 2.27 pursuant to the Insider Shareholder Vote and (iii) CapGen has not received all necessary Regulatory Authority approvals needed for its investment in the Purchased Shares by not later than December 31, 2010 or CapGen has breached its obligations under Section 3.06 hereof.

(e) The Company and the Bank acknowledge and agree, jointly and severally, that this Section 9.18 is an integral part of the Transaction and is in recognition of the time, expense and efforts expended and to be expended by CapGen as the lead Investor, and that, without this Section 9.18, CapGen would not enter into this Agreement. Accordingly, if the Alternative Transaction Payment or the Alternative Transaction Compensation is not promptly paid or issued and, in order to obtain such consideration, CapGen commences a lawsuit or action that results in a judgment for any of such Alternative Transaction Payment or Alternative Transaction Compensation, the Company’s counterparties to such Alternative Transaction shall pay in cash to CapGen its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in connection with enforcing CapGen’s rights under this Section 9.18 and Section 1.05, including with respect to such lawsuit or other action, and the Company and the Bank agree jointly and severally to further guarantee such payment. Payment of the Alternative Transaction Payment or the Alternative Transaction Compensation described in this Section 9.18 shall be the exclusive remedy for termination of this Agreement as specified in Section 9.18 and shall be in lieu of other damages incurred in the event of any termination of this Agreement, but shall not prevent CapGen from obtaining specific performance as provided in Section 9.02 in all other cases.

(f) For purposes of this Section 9.18, the following terms shall have respective meanings set forth below:

“Alternative Transaction” means any transaction by or with the Company or any affiliate of the Company and any person other than CapGen (including any transaction with an Investor other than CapGen where CapGen is not the lead investor) which is in lieu of the Transaction in whole or in part.

10

“Alternative Transaction Agreement” means any agreement, letter of intent, term sheet, arrangement or understanding, whether or not binding that provides for or contemplates an Alternative Transaction, provided, that, following the termination of this Agreement, this term shall only refer to any executed agreement that is or purports to be binding upon the Company and/or the Bank.

“Alternative Transaction Amount” means the total fair market value per share paid for Company Common Stock in an Alternative Transaction where the Company is the surviving or continuing entity. If security convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether directly or indirectly, is to be sold or issued in the Alternative Transaction, the Alternative Transaction Amount shall be the amount paid per share of Common Stock on an as-converted basis.

“Alternative Transaction Consideration” means the total fair market value of the Alternative Transaction Securities and all other consideration (including cash) receivable by the Company or holders of shares of Company Common Stock in an Alternative Transaction where the Company is not the surviving or continuing entity. If a security convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, whether directly or indirectly, is to be sold or issued in the Alternative Transaction, the Alternative Transaction Consideration as the higher of the amount so paid or on as-converted basis.

“Alternative Transaction Securities” means the shares of capital stock and other securities of any acquirer of the Company that would be issuable to CapGen and the other Investors hereunder if CapGen and the other Investors held As-adjusted Purchased Shares immediately prior to the Alternative Transaction.

“As-adjusted Purchased Shares” means the number of shares of Company Common Stock needed to be delivered by the Company upon completion of an Alternative Transaction to insure that CapGen’s and the other Investors’ respective ownership of the Company immediately following the Alternative Transaction would be the same as if the Transaction had been consummated.”

The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement or statements filed hereunder to remain effective until such date (the “Shelf Termination Date”) that is the earlier of (i) the date on which all Registrable Securities included in the registration statement shall have been sold to the public by a Holder either pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144, or shall otherwise have ceased to be Registrable Securities and (ii) the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement may be sold without volume or manner of sale restrictions under Rule 144 (after taking into account any Holder’s status as an Affiliate of the Company) for purposes of Rule 144 and without the requirement for compliance by the Company with the current public information requirements under Rule 144(c)(1) or, if applicable, Rule 144(i)(2), as determined by counsel to the Company (the “Effectiveness Period”). In the event the Mandatory Registration must be effected on Form S-1 or any similar long-form registration as the Company may elect or is required to use, such registration shall nonetheless be filed as a Shelf Registration and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such registration current and effective, including by filing periodic post-effective amendments to update the information therein, as determined by counsel to the Company, including the financial statements contained in such registration statement in accordance with Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Act until the Shelf Termination Date. The Company shall not include in the Mandatory Registration any securities which are not Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such registration. The Company shall request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 P.M. New York City time on a Business Day. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders via facsimile or electronic mail in a “.pdf” format data file of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement within one (1) Business Day of the Effective Date. The Company shall, by 9:30 A.M. New York City time on the first Business Day after the Effective Date, file a final Prospectus with the Commission, as required by Rule 424(b).

Section 2.02 Section 2.1(a)(ii) is changed to add the following three sentences at the end of such Section:

“Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Holder shall be named as an underwriter in any registration statement (whether or not pursuant to SEC Guidance) without the prior written consent of such Holder. If such consent is not granted by the Holder, the Company shall no longer have any obligations to register such Holder’s Shares only with respect to such registration statement but shall continue to have such obligation with respect to any subsequent registration statement filed with respect to Registrable Securities or a piggyback registration pursuant to Section 2.2, in each case, provided such Holder consents to be named an underwriter therein if and as required for such

subsequent registration statement, on the same bases as provided in this Section 2.1(a)(ii). If the Company requests the consent of any Holder to be named as an underwriter in a registration statement, the Company shall simultaneously furnish to such Holder the form of registration statement proposed to be filed along with any additional materials that such Holder may reasonably request.”

Section 2.03 Section 2.4(h) is amended by adding the following sentence at the end of such Section:

“If any Holder is named as an underwriter in any registration statement (after consent of such Holder), then all references to underwriters in this Section 2.4(h) shall include all Holders named as underwriters in such registration statement; provided the Investor shall cooperate with the Company and supply such information or responses required to permit the Company’s independent registered public accountants to provide a “comfort” letter to such Investor, and provided further that the Company shall direct its counsel and independent registered public accountants to deliver legal opinions and “comfort” letters respectively, to any such persons deemed underwriters.

Section 2.04 Certain cross references are corrected in Section 2.8 as follows:

(a) The reference to Section 2.9 in Section 2.8(a) is changed to Section 2.8(a), and the reference in the first line of Section 2.8(c) is changed from Section 2.9 to Section 2.8.

Section 2.05 Section 3.10 is changed to read in its entirety as follows:

“3.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Stock Purchase Agreement and any other agreement entered into between any Investor and the Company in connection herewith constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement among the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof.”
