2. SUBORDINATED DEBT.

2.1. General Matters.

2.1.1. Certain Terms. Lender agrees to extend the Subordinated Debt to Borrower in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the conditions set forth in, this Agreement, the Subordinated Debenture and the other Transaction Documents. An initial Borrowing Tranche in an amount equal to the entire principal amount of the Subordinated Debt shall be borrowed on the Closing Date and, thereafter, any such Borrowing Tranche may be converted or renewed from time to time in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement. Subject to Section 2.6 and any other conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, any Borrowing Tranche under the Subordinated Debt shall be treated as, at Borrower’s election subject to and in accordance with the terms in this Agreement: (a) a LIBO Rate Tranche and shall bear interest per annum at a rate equal to the LIBOR Applicable Margin plus 2.00% (200 basis points); or (b) a Base Rate Tranche and shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Base Rate. The unpaid principal balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest on the Subordinated Debt shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date, or such earlier date on which such

amount shall become due and payable on account of acceleration by Lender in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Debenture or this Agreement.

2.1.2. Subordination. The Subordinated Debenture shall be subordinated in accordance with the subordination provisions set forth therein, the terms of which are incorporated herein.

2.2. The Subordinated Debenture. The Facility shall be evidenced by the Subordinated Debenture.

2.3. Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, all sums due and owing under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents with respect to the Subordinated Debenture shall be repaid in full. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender has not made any commitments, either express or implied, to extend the terms of the Facility past its Maturity Date, unless Borrower and Lender hereafter specifically otherwise agree in writing.

2.4. Unsecured Facility. The obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Subordinated Debenture shall be unsecured.

2.5. The Closing. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents necessary to permit the initial funding of the Facility (the “Closing”) will occur at the offices of Barack Ferrazzano, et al. LLP, counsel to Lender, at 200 West Madison Street, Suite 3900, Chicago, Illinois at 9:30 a.m. (local time) on the Closing Date, or at such other place or time or on such other date as the parties hereto may agree. At the Closing, the proceeds of the Facility shall be disbursed in accordance with the Instructions received by Lender at least one Business Day prior to Closing.

2.6. Interest Rate Matters. Borrower agrees that matters concerning the election, payment, application, accrual and computation of interest and interest rates shall be set forth in this Agreement and in the other Transaction Documents.

2.6.1. Applicable Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.6, the initial Borrowing Tranche shall bear interest as a LIBO Rate Tranche. For any Borrowing Tranche the LIBOR Period of which commences subsequent to the Closing Date, Borrower shall make a LIBO Rate or Base Rate election by delivering a Rate Election Notice before 12:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the second Business Day prior to the Borrowing Date; provided, however, no more than one LIBO Rate Tranche for the Facility shall be outstanding at any one time. The LIBO Rate shall remain fixed for each LIBO Rate Tanche until the next LIBOR Period commences. Borrower may elect, by designation on a Rate Election Notice (i) to convert a LIBO Rate Tranche or any portion thereof into a Base Rate Tranche, (ii) to continue any LIBO Rate Tranche or any portion thereof for an additional LIBOR Period, as designated in the Rate Election Notice, or (iii) to convert a Base Rate Tranche or any portion thereof to a LIBO Rate Tranche. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the amount of any “portion” shall be $1,000,000, or a multiple thereof. In the event Borrower fails to notify Lender that Borrower desires to continue any LIBO Rate Tranche or any portion thereof by the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period, Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue the LIBO Rate Tranche in question for an additional LIBOR Period. Any Rate Election Notice delivered by Borrower shall be irrevocable and may not be modified in any way without the prior, written approval of Lender. The LIBOR Period for the continuation of any LIBO Rate Tranche shall commence on the last day of the next preceding LIBOR Period. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein and subject to the default interest provisions contained herein, if an Event of Default occurs, all LIBO Rate Tranches will convert to Base Rate Tranches upon the expiration of the LIBOR Periods therefor. The conversion of a LIBO Rate Tranche to a Base Rate Tranche pursuant to a description in a Rate Election Notice shall only occur on the last Business Day of the LIBOR Period relating to such LIBO Rate Tranche. Lender is hereby authorized to rely upon Instructions, Rate Election Notices and other written communications concerning the Facility delivered by any authorized officer of Borrower, including John W. Kozak, Paul E. Turner and Brady T. Burt, and any other officer designated on the Notice of Authorized Borrowers delivered by Borrower from time to time, and such additional authorized agents as any of the above-referenced officers of Borrower shall designate, in writing, to Lender from time to time.

2.6.2. Interest Payments. Subject to Section 2.6.3 and except as otherwise expressly provided in the Subordinated Debenture, interest accrued (a) on each LIBO Rate Tranche shall be payable by Borrower in arrears on the last day of each LIBOR Period and on the Maturity Date, and (b) on each Base Rate Tranche or any other outstanding amount of the Facility shall be payable by Borrower in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December, beginning March, 2008, and on the Maturity Date.

2.6.3. Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest and the payment dates specified in this Section 2.6, effective immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the principal balance of the Facility then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments not paid within five days after the same becomes due shall bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 3% per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable under this Agreement (the “Default Rate”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 2.6.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Default Rate shall only apply with respect to an Event of Default relating to the Subordinated Debt if such Event of Default is one with respect to which Lender would be entitled to declare the Subordinated Debenture immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1.2. In addition, all other amounts due Lender (whether directly or for reimbursement) under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, if not paid when due or, in the event no time period is expressed, if not paid within five days after written notice from Lender that the same has become due, shall thereafter bear interest at the foregoing Default Rate. Finally, any amount due on the Maturity Date which is not then paid shall also bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate.

2.6.4. Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and a year of 360 days. In computing interest, the date of funding shall be included and the date of payment (with respect to the amount timely paid on such date) shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any funding is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid thereon. The parties hereto intend to conform strictly to applicable usury laws as in effect from time to time during the term of the Facility. Accordingly, if the transaction contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the United States of America, or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Subordinated Debenture, Borrower and Lender agree that the aggregate of all consideration that constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, charged or received under or in connection with this Agreement shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to Borrower by Lender (or if such consideration shall have been paid in full, such excess refunded to Borrower by Lender).

2.7. Certain Provisions Regarding the Facility.

2.7.1. Changes; Legal Restrictions. In the event the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Agency (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) either (a) subjects Lender to any tax (other than income taxes or franchise taxes not specifically based on loan transactions), duty or other charge of any kind with respect to any LIBO Rate Tranche or changes the basis of taxation of payments to Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable in connection with a LIBO Rate Tranche, or (b) imposes on Lender any other condition materially more burdensome in nature, extent or consequence than those in existence as of the date of this Agreement, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Lender of making, renewing or maintaining any LIBO Rate Tranches or to reduce any amount receivable thereunder; then, in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender, as applicable, upon demand, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate Lender for any such additional cost incurred or reduced amounts received.

2.7.2. LIBO Rate Lending Unlawful. If Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to Borrower, be conclusive and binding in the absence of readily demonstrable error) that the adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or in

the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Agency makes it unlawful for Lender to make or maintain any LIBO Rate Tranche, (a) the obligation of Lender to make or continue any LIBO Rate Tranche shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until Lender shall notify Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and (b) if required by such law, interpretation or application, all LIBO Rate Tranches shall automatically convert into Base Rate Tranches.

2.7.3. Unascertainable Interest Rate. If Lender shall have determined in good faith that adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable hereunder to LIBO Rate Tranches, then, upon notice from Lender to Borrower, the obligations of Lender to make or continue LIBO Rate Tranches shall forthwith be suspended, and thereafter the Facility shall continue as a Base Rate Tranche until Lender shall notify Borrower that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Lender will give such notice when it determines, in good faith, that such circumstances no longer exist; provided, however, that Lender shall not have any liability with respect to any delay in giving such notice.

2.7.4. Funding Losses. In the event Lender shall incur any loss or expense (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by Lender to make or maintain any LIBO Rate Tranche) as a result of any continuance, conversion, repayment or prepayment of the principal amount of, or failure to make or termination of, any LIBO Rate Tranche on a date other than the scheduled last day of the LIBOR Period applicable thereto, then, upon the written notice of such from Lender to Borrower, Borrower shall reimburse Lender for such loss or expense within three Business Days after receipt of such notice. Such written notice (which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of readily demonstrable error.

2.7.5. Additional Interest on LIBO Rate Tranches. So long as and to the extent Lender shall be required under regulations of the FRB to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities (as defined in the definition of Reserve Percentage), and Lender’s performance under this Agreement shall have given rise to additional reserve requirements for Lender thereunder, Borrower shall pay to Lender additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBO Rate Tranche. Such additional interest shall accrue from the later of the date such reserve requirement commences and the date of the first disbursement under such LIBO Rate Tranche until the earlier of the date such reserve requirement ends and the date the principal amount of such LIBO Rate Tranche is paid in full, at an interest rate per annum equal at all times to the remainder obtained by subtracting (a) the LIBO Rate for the LIBOR Period for such LIBO Rate Tranche from (b) the rate obtained by dividing the LIBO Rate by a percentage equal to 100% minus the Reserve Percentage as in effect from time to time during such LIBOR Period. Lender shall, as soon as practicable but not later than the last day of the LIBOR Period, provide notice to Borrower of any such additional interest arising in connection with such LIBO Rate Tranche and the certification of Lender that the additional amount is due and that the additional reserve requirement is applicable to such LIBO Rate Tranche. Such additional interest shall be payable directly to Lender on the dates specified herein for payment of interest. The calculation of such additional interest shall be made by Lender and provided to Borrower in writing and shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of readily demonstrable error.

2.7.6. Notice of Changes or Increased Costs Relating to LIBO Rate Tranches. Lender agrees that, as promptly as reasonably practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition which would cause it to be affected by any of the events or conditions described in this Section 2.7, it will notify Borrower of such event and the possible effects thereof, provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not affect Lender’s rights to reimbursement provided for herein.

2.8. Payments. Borrower agrees that matters concerning prepayments, payments and application of payments shall be in accordance with Lender’s practices set forth in this Agreement and in the other Transaction Documents.

2.8.1. Prepayment. Subject to Section 2.7.4 hereof and the immediately following sentence, at any time after the fifth anniversary of the date hereof, Borrower may, upon at least one Business Day’s notice to Lender, prepay, without penalty, all or a portion of the principal amount outstanding under the Subordinated Debt in a minimum aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any larger integral multiple of $5,000,000 by paying the principal amount to be prepaid, together with unpaid accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment. Borrower acknowledges that it may be required under regulations of the OCC to obtain prior OCC approval before making any prepayment (including payment pursuant to an acceleration clause or redemption prior to maturity) and that Lender shall have no responsibility to verify whether Borrower has obtained OCC approval for any prepayment.

2.8.2. Manner and Time of Payment. All payments of principal, interest and fees hereunder payable to Lender shall be made, without condition or reservation of right and free of set-off or counterclaim, in U.S. dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant to Lender’s written wire transfer instructions) of immediately available funds delivered to Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (Central time) on the date due. Funds received by Lender after that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

2.8.3. Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, payments shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

2.8.4. Application of Payments. All payments received by Lender from or on behalf of Borrower shall be applied first to amounts due to Lender to reimburse Lender’s costs and expenses, including those pursuant to Section 5.5 or Section 8.5, second to accrued interest under the Subordinated Debenture, and third to principal amounts outstanding under the Subordinated Debenture; provided, however, subject to Section 8.1.2 of this Agreement, that after the date on which the final payment of principal with respect to the Facility is due or following and during any Event of Default, all payments received on account of Borrower’s Liabilities shall be applied in whatever order, combination and amounts as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, decides, to all costs, expenses and other indebtedness owing to Lender. No amount paid or prepaid under the Subordinated Debenture may be reborrowed.

2.9. Capital Adequacy. If Lender shall reasonably determine that the application or adoption of any law, rule, regulation, directive, interpretation, treaty or guideline regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof, whether or not having the force of law (including, without limitation, application of changes to Regulation H and Regulation Y of the FRB issued by the FRB on January 19, 1989 and regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency, Department of Treasury, 12 CFR Part 3, Appendix A, issued by the Comptroller of the Currency on January 27, 1989) increases the capital required or expected to be maintained by Lender or any person or entity controlling Lender, and such increase is based upon the existence of Lender’s obligations hereunder and under other commitments of this type, then, within 10 days after demand from Lender, Borrower shall pay to Lender, from time to time, such amount or amounts as will compensate Lender or such controlling person or entity, as the case may be, for such increased capital requirement. The determination of any amount to be paid by Borrower under this Section 2.9 shall take into consideration the policies of Lender or of any Person controlling Lender with respect to capital adequacy and shall be based upon any reasonable averaging, attribution and allocation methods. A certificate of Lender setting forth the amount or amounts as shall be necessary to compensate Lender as specified in this Section 2.9 shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

3. DISBURSEMENTS.

3.3.1. Default. There exists an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default.

3.3.2. Legislation or Proceedings.

4. GENERAL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BORROWER. Borrower hereby covenants, represents and warrants to Lender as follows:

4.1. Organization and Authority.

4.1.1. Organization Matters. As of the date hereof, Borrower is a national banking association validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America.

Borrower has all requisite corporate power and authority, and possesses all licenses necessary, to conduct business and activities as presently conducted, to own its properties and to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The deposit accounts of Borrower are insured by the FDIC to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Borrower has not received any notice or other information indicating that Borrower is not an “insured depository institution” as defined in 12 U.S.C. 1813, nor has any event occurred which could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the status of Borrower as an FDIC-insured institution. Borrower and the Subsidiaries have made payment of all franchise and similar taxes in all of the respective jurisdictions in which they are incorporated, chartered or qualified, except for any such taxes (i) where the failure to pay such taxes will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business or operations of Borrower or any Subsidiary, (ii) the validity of which is being contested in good faith and (iii) for which proper reserves have been set aside on the books of Borrower or any applicable Subsidiary, as the case may be.

4.1.2. Capital Stock and Related Matters. Section 4.1.2 of the Disclosure Schedule correctly sets forth (a) the state or states in which Borrower conducts its business, (b) a list of all Subsidiaries of Borrower, all of which are direct wholly owned by Borrower, and (c) a list of each class of stock of Borrower and the number of authorized and issued and outstanding shares of each class of stock of Borrower. Except as otherwise stated in Section 4.1.2 of the Disclosure Schedule, there is no plan, agreement or understanding providing for, or contemplating, the issuance of any additional shares of capital stock of Borrower. All of the outstanding capital stock of Borrower is owned beneficially and of record by Bancorp and has been duly authorized, legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. Except as otherwise stated in Section 4.1.2 of the Disclosure Schedule, there are, as of the date hereof, no outstanding options, rights, warrants or other agreements or instruments obligating Borrower to issue, deliver or sell, or cause to be issued, delivered or sold, additional shares of the capital stock of Borrower or obligating Borrower to grant, extend or enter into any such agreement or commitment.

4.1.3. Subsidiaries. Each of Borrower’s Subsidiaries is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction or organization, and each Subsidiary has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, and maintains all licenses necessary, to conduct its business and own its properties.

4.2. No Impediment to Transactions.

4.2.1. Transaction is Legal and Authorized. The borrowing of the principal amount of the Facility, the execution of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and compliance by Borrower with all of the provisions of this Agreement and of the other Transaction Documents are within the corporate and other powers of Borrower. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Borrower is a party have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Borrower, and are the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.

4.2.2. No Defaults or Restrictions. Neither the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents nor compliance with their terms and conditions will (a) violate, conflict with or result in a material breach of, or constitute a material default under: (i) any of the terms, obligations, covenants, conditions or provisions of any corporate restriction or of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, bank loan or credit agreement, charter, bylaw or any other material agreement or instrument to which Borrower or any Subsidiary is now a party or by which any of them or any of their properties may be bound or affected; (ii) any judgment, order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court, arbitrator, grand jury, or Governmental Agency; or (iii) any statute, rule or regulation applicable to Borrower, or (b) result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any property or asset of Borrower or any Subsidiary. None of Borrower or any Subsidiary is in material default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the terms, obligations, covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any indenture or other agreement creating, evidencing or securing indebtedness of any kind or pursuant to which any such indebtedness is issued, or other agreement or

instrument to which Borrower or any Subsidiary is a party or by which Borrower or any Subsidiary or their respective properties may be bound or affected.

4.2.3. Governmental Consent. Except for the notification required to be delivered by Borrower to the OCC within 10 days of issuing the Subordinated Debenture, no governmental orders, permissions, consents, approvals or authorizations are required to be obtained by Borrower and no registrations or declarations are required to be filed by Borrower in connection with, or contemplation of, the execution and delivery of, and performance under, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

4.3. Purposes of the Facility.

4.3.1. Use of Proceeds. Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Facility to repay the indebtedness described in Section 3.2.8 and for general corporate purposes. The Facility is an exempt transaction under the Truth-in-Lending Act, as amended or recodified. Borrower does not own any “margin security” as such term is defined in Regulation G of the FRB. Borrower will not use any part of the proceeds of the Facility (a) directly or indirectly to purchase or carry any margin security or reduce or retire any indebtedness originally incurred to purchase any such margin security within the meaning of Regulation U of the FRB, or (b) so as to involve Borrower or Lender in a violation of Regulation U of the FRB. Borrower agrees to execute, or cause to be executed, all instruments necessary for the Facility to comply with all of the requirements of Regulation U of the FRB.

4.3.2. Usury. None of the amounts to be received by Lender as interest under the Subordinated Debenture is usurious or illegal under applicable law.

4.4. Financial Condition.

4.4.1. Borrower Financial Statements. Borrower has delivered to Lender copies of regulatory financial statements on the appropriate FFIEC form filed by Borrower (the “Borrower 2006 Financial Statements”) for the 12 months ended December 31, 2006 (the “Borrower 2006 Financial Statements Date”). The Borrower 2006 Financial Statements are true and correct in all material respects, are prepared in accordance with the respective books of account and records of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with applicable banking regulations, rules and guidelines on a basis consistent with prior periods, and fairly and accurately present in all material respects the financial condition of Borrower and its assets and liabilities and the results of its operations as at, and for the period ending at, such date. In addition, Borrower has delivered to Lender copies of its regulatory financial statements on the appropriate FFIEC form filed by Borrower for the period ending September 30, 2007, the “Interim Financial Statements” and together with the Borrower 2006 Financial Statements, the “Borrower Financial Statements”). The Interim Financial Statements are true and correct in all material respects, are prepared in accordance with the respective books of account and records of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and have been prepared in accordance with applicable banking regulations, rules and guidelines on a basis consistent with prior periods, and fairly and accurately present in all material respects the financial condition of Borrower and its assets and liabilities and the results of its operations as of, and for the period ending at, such date. The Borrower Financial Statements contain and reflect provisions for taxes, reserves and other liabilities of Borrower in accordance with applicable banking regulations, rules and guidelines, respectively. Borrower does not have any material debt, liability or obligation of any nature (whether accrued, contingent, absolute or otherwise) which is not provided for or disclosed in the Borrower Financial Statements.

4.4.2. Absence of Default. No event has occurred which either of itself or with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both, would give any creditor of Borrower the right to accelerate the maturity of any indebtedness of Borrower for borrowed money. Borrower is not in default under any other lease, agreement or instrument, or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree, determination or award, non-compliance with which could materially adversely affect Borrower’s properties, financial condition or business operations.

4.4.3. Loans. To Borrower’s Knowledge, each loan having an outstanding balance of more than $1,000,000 and reflected as an asset of Borrower in the Borrower Financial Statements is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the obligor named therein, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, or other laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights or equitable principles generally. To Borrower’s knowledge, (a) no obligor named therein is seeking to avoid the enforceability of the terms of any loan, and no (b) loan having an unpaid balance (principal and accrued interest) in excess of $1,000,000 is subject to any defense, offset or counterclaim.

4.4.4. Allowance for Loan Losses. The allowance for loan and lease losses shown in the Borrower Financial Statements is adequate in all respects to provide for losses, net of recoveries relating to loans previously charged off, on loans and leases outstanding as of the date of such statements or reports.

4.4.5. Solvency. After giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, Borrower has capital sufficient to carry on its business and transactions and all businesses and transactions in which it is about to engage and is solvent and able to pay its debts as they mature. No transfer of property is being made and no indebtedness is being incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the intent to hinder, delay or defraud either present or future creditors of Borrower or any Subsidiary.

4.4.6. Subordination. The Junior Subordinated Debenture is expressly subordinate and junior in all respects (including, without limitation, with respect to the right of payment) to the Facility. The Junior Subordinated Debenture permits the issuance of the Subordinated Debenture and the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Borrower.

4.5. Title to Properties.

4.5.1. Owned Property. Borrower and the Subsidiaries have, respectively, good and marketable fee title to all the Properties, and good title to all other property and assets reflected in the Borrower Financial Statements, except for (a) real property and other assets acquired and/or being acquired from debtors in full or partial satisfaction of obligations owed to Borrower or the Subsidiaries, as the case may be, and (b) property or other assets leased by Borrower or any Subsidiary, property and assets sold or otherwise disposed of for their fair market value subsequent to the date of the Borrower Financial Statements. Except for Properties and other assets acquired and/or being acquired from debtors in full or partial satisfaction of obligations owed to Borrower or any Subsidiary and property or other assets leased by Borrower or any Subsidiary, all property and assets of any kind (real or personal, tangible or intangible) of Borrower and any Subsidiary are free from any liens, encumbrances or defects in title, except for any liens granted previously by Borrower to Lender. Except as identified in Section 4.5.1 of the Disclosure Schedule, no financing statement under the UCC that names Borrower or any Subsidiary has been filed and none of Borrower or any Subsidiary has signed any financing statement or any pledge agreement authorizing any secured party thereunder to file any such financing statement.

4.5.2. Leased Property. For assets or property leased by Borrower or any Subsidiary, Borrower and each such Subsidiary maintain possession under all of the Leases under which they are operating, all of which permit the customary operations of Borrower and any Subsidiary, as applicable. Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary is in material default, and no event has occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute a material default by Borrower or any Subsidiary, under any of such Leases.

4.6. No Material Adverse Change. Since the Borrower 2006 Financial Statements Date, neither the business, operations, properties nor assets of Borrower or any Subsidiary have been materially and adversely affected in any way. Since the Borrower 2006 Financial Statements Date, there have been no material changes in the assets, liabilities, or condition, financial or otherwise, of Borrower or any Subsidiary other than changes arising from transactions in the ordinary course of business, and none of such changes has been materially adverse, whether in the ordinary course of business or otherwise.

4.7. Legal Matters.

4.7.1. Compliance with Law. Borrower and the Subsidiaries have complied with all applicable statutes, rules, regulations, orders and restrictions of any domestic or foreign government, or any instrumentality or agency thereof, having jurisdiction over the conduct of their respective businesses or the ownership of their respective properties, except where any such failure to comply would not materially and adversely affect the financial condition, business or operations of Borrower or any Subsidiary.

4.7.2. Taxes. Borrower and each Subsidiary have filed all United States income tax returns and all state and municipal tax returns which are required to be filed, and have paid, or made adequate provision for the payment of, all material taxes which have become due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment received by Borrower or any Subsidiary, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which adequate reserves have been provided. Borrower is unaware of any audit, assessment or other proposed action or inquiry of the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the United States income tax liability of Borrower or any Subsidiary. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, Borrower and each Subsidiary have withheld amounts from their employees, shareholders or holders of public deposit accounts in full and complete compliance with the tax withholding provisions of applicable federal, state and local laws and each has filed all federal, state and local returns and reports for all years for which any such return or report would be due with respect to employee income tax withholding, social security, unemployment taxes, income and other taxes and all payments or deposits with respect to such taxes have been made within the time period required by law.

4.7.3. Regulatory Enforcement Actions. Except as set forth in Section 4.7.3 of the Disclosure Schedule, none of Borrower, any Subsidiary or any of their respective officers or directors is now operating under any restrictions, agreements, memoranda, or commitments (other than restrictions of general application) imposed by any Governmental Agency, nor to the Borrower’s Knowledge are (a) any such restrictions threatened or (b) any agreements, memoranda or commitments being sought by any Governmental Agency.

4.7.4. Pending Litigation. Except as otherwise disclosed in Section 4.7.4 of the Disclosure Schedule, there are no actions, suits, proceedings or written agreements pending, or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened or proposed, against Borrower or any Subsidiary at law or in equity or before or by any federal, state, municipal, or other governmental department, commission, board, or other administrative agency, domestic or foreign, that, either separately or in the aggregate, will materially and adversely affect the financial condition, business, or operations of any of Borrower or any Subsidiary; and none of Borrower or any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, or decree of, or any written agreement with, any court, commission, board or agency, domestic or foreign, that, either separately or in the aggregate, will materially and adversely affect the financial condition, business, or operations of Borrower or any Subsidiary.

4.7.5. RICO. There are no suits, actions or proceedings pending or, to Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against Borrower or any Subsidiary, or any of the principals thereof, under a RICO Related Law.

4.7.6. ERISA. All Employee Benefit Plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) established or maintained by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate or to which Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate contributes are in material compliance with applicable requirements of ERISA, and are in material compliance with applicable requirements (including qualification and non-discrimination requirements) of the Code for obtaining the tax benefits the Code thereupon permits with respect to such plans. Each Employee Benefit Plan which is a group health plan (within the meaning of Section 5000(b)(1) of the Code) complies with and has been maintained and operated in material compliance with each of the requirements of Section 4980B of the Code. Neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has failed to make on a timely basis any required contributions or to pay on a timely basis any amounts with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan or ERISA or any other applicable law. No “reportable event” or non-exempt “prohibited transaction,” as defined in ERISA, has occurred and is continuing as to any Employee Benefit

Plan and no excise taxes have been incurred or security is required with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan. Except as set forth in Section 4.7.6 of the Disclosure Schedule, no Employee Benefit Plan has, or as of the Closing Date will have, any amount of unfunded benefit liabilities (as defined in Section 4001(a)(18) of ERISA) for which Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate could be liable to any Person under Title IV of ERISA if any such plan were terminated. All Employee Benefit Plans are funded in accordance with Section 412 of the Code (if applicable). There would be no obligations under Title IV of ERISA relating to any Employee Benefit Plan that is a multiemployer plan if any such plan were terminated or if Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate withdrew from any such plan. Except as required by Section 4980B of the Code or applicable state insurance laws, neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has promised any employee medical coverage after termination of employment, or promised medical coverage to any former employee or other individual not employed by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate, and neither Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate maintains or contributes to any plan or arrangement providing medical benefits to employees after their termination of employment or any other individual not employed by Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate.

4.7.7. Environmental. No Property is or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, has been a site for the use, generation, manufacture, storage, treatment, release, threatened release, discharge, disposal, transportation or presence of any Hazardous Materials in violation of any Hazardous Material Law and neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary has engaged in such activities. Each Property, and Borrower and each Subsidiary, are in compliance with all Hazardous Materials Laws. There are no claims or actions (“Hazardous Materials Claims”) pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened, nor have there been any such claims or actions in the past, against Borrower or any Subsidiary or any Property by any Governmental Agency or by any other Person relating to violations or alleged violations of to any Hazardous Materials Law.

8.3. Other Remedies. Nothing in this Article 8 is intended to restrict Lender’s rights under any of the other Transaction Documents, other related documents, or at law or in equity, and Lender may exercise such rights and remedies as and when they are available.

Within five Business Days after receipt of a copy of the executed assignment and acceptance document, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a new subordinated debenture, as applicable (for delivery to the relevant Assignee

Lender), in the form of Exhibit A hereto but substituting Assignee Lender’s name and evidencing such Assignee Lender’s assigned portion of the Facility and a replacement subordinated debenture, as applicable, in the principal amount of the Facility retained by Lender (such subordinated debenture to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the subordinated debenture then held by Lender). Such subordinated debenture shall be dated the date of the predecessor Subordinated Debenture. Lender shall mark the predecessor Subordinated Debenture “exchanged” and deliver it to Borrower. Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Subordinated Debenture evidenced by the new subordinated debenture, and accrued fees, shall be paid as provided in the assignment agreement between Lender and to the Assignee Lender. Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Subordinated Debenture evidenced by the replacement subordinated debenture shall be paid to Lender. Accrued interest and accrued fees shall be so apportioned between the subordinated debenture and paid at the same time or times provided in the predecessor Subordinated Debenture and in this Agreement. Borrower authorizes Lender to disclose to any prospective Assignee Lender any financial or other information pertaining to Borrower or the Facility, subject to confidentiality agreements reasonably acceptable to Borrower. In addition, Borrower agrees that, if so requested by Lender, Borrower will cause all insurance policies, binders and commitments (including, without limitation, casualty insurance and title insurance) required by the Transaction Documents or other related documents to be delivered to Lender to name the Assignee Lender as an additional insured or obligee, as Lender may request. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Agreement, including this Section 9.2, Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Transaction Documents and other related documents to (i) a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release Lender from its obligations thereunder or (ii) any Affiliate of Lender.

9.3. Prohibition on Assignment. Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement, either voluntarily or, except to the extent permitted by the terms of Section 5.2.1 of this Agreement, by operation of law.

9.4. Lender Representation. Lender is purchasing the Subordinated Debenture for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a present intention of entering into or making any subsequent sale, assignment, conveyance, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer thereof. Lender understands and acknowledges that the Subordinated Debenture has not and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or under the securities laws of any state, but is being offered and sold pursuant to and in reliance upon exemptions from registration thereunder. Lender understands and acknowledges that, as a consequence of the restrictions on subsequent transfer imposed by the foregoing exemptions, the Subordinated Debenture may not subsequently be sold, assigned, conveyed, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred by a holder thereof except pursuant to an effective registration statement registering the Subordinated Debenture under the Act and under applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to exemptions from registration thereunder.

9.5. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

9.6. No Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement herein contained shall be effective unless set forth in a writing signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be effective only to the extent set forth in such writing. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising, by Lender or any holder of the Subordinated Debenture, of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy provided by law. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law or equity. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall, in itself, entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Lender to or of any breach or default by Borrower in the performance of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Borrower hereunder. Failure on the part of Lender to complain of any acts or failure to act or to declare an Event of

Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies on account of any breach or default by Borrower.

9.7. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable or invalid or contrary to law, or the inclusion of which would adversely affect the validity, legality or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be of no effect and, in such case, all the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall subsist and be fully effective according to the tenor of this Agreement the same as though any such invalid portion had never been included herein. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if any provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof are held invalid or unenforceable only as to particular persons or situations, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or situations other than those to which it shall have been held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, but shall continue valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

9.8. Usury; Revival of Liabilities. All agreements between Borrower and Lender (including, without limitation, this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents) are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under the laws of the State of Ohio. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any other Transaction Documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under the laws of the State of Ohio, and if for any reason whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount which would be deemed unlawful, such interest shall be applied to the payment of the last maturing installment or installments of the indebtedness to Lender (whether or not then due and payable) and not to the payment of interest. To the extent that Lender received any payment on account of Borrower’s Liabilities and any such payment(s) and/or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, subordinated and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment(s) or proceeds received, Borrower’s Liabilities or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment(s) and/or proceeds had not been received by Lender and applied on account of Borrower’s Liabilities; provided, however, if Lender successfully contests any such invalidation, declaration, set aside, subordination or other order to pay any such payment and/or proceeds to any third party, the revived Borrower’s Liabilities shall be deemed satisfied.

9.9. Notices. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be deemed to have been given if in writing and if delivered personally, or if mailed, postage prepaid, by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or if delivered by a responsible overnight courier, addressed:

Any notice given in accordance with the foregoing shall be deemed given when delivered personally or, if mailed, five Business Days after it shall have been deposited in the United States mails as aforesaid or, if sent by overnight courier, the Business Day following the date of delivery to such courier.

9.10. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns except that, unless Lender consents in writing, no assignment made by Borrower in violation of this Agreement shall confer any rights on any assignee of Borrower.

9.11. No Joint Venture. Nothing contained herein or in any document executed pursuant hereto and no action or inaction whatsoever on the part of Lender, shall be deemed to make Lender a partner or joint venturer with Borrower.

9.12. Brokerage Commissions. Lender and Borrower each represent and warrant to the other that they have not dealt with any brokers or finders to whom a brokerage commission or finders fee is due in connection with the Facility. Each of Lender and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the other from all loss, cost and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) arising out of a breach of its representation and warranty set forth in this Section 9.12. The provisions of this Section 9.12 shall survive the Closing and the termination of this Agreement.

9.13. Publicity. Borrower shall not publicize the Facility without the prior written consent of Lender, except that Borrower may make any filings required by law, including without limitation filings with the SEC, directly related to this Agreement, provided that, in connection with the disclosure thereof, Borrower shall take such actions as may reasonably be requested by Lender to ensure the confidentiality of the materials to be disclosed.

9.14. Documentation. All documents and other matters required by any of the provisions of this Agreement to be submitted or furnished to Lender shall be in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

9.15. Additional Assurances; Right of Set-off. Borrower agrees that, at any time or from time to time, upon the written request of Lender, it will execute all such further documents and do all such other acts and things as Lender may reasonably request to effectuate the transaction herein contemplated. If any Event of Default that permits Lender to accelerate the obligations of Borrower pursuant to Section 8.1.2 shall have occurred and be continuing, Lender is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time to set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and any and all other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender to or for the credit or the account of Borrower against any and all of Borrower’s Liabilities irrespective of whether or not Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or thereunder. Lender agrees promptly to

notify Borrower after any such set-off and application made by Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of Lender under this Section 9.15 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which Lender may have. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall impair the right of Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have against Borrower and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of indebtedness of Borrower unrelated to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents.

9.16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Disclosure Schedule and Exhibits hereto constitute the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and may not be modified or amended in any manner other than by supplemental written agreement executed by the parties hereto. Neither party, in entering into this Agreement, has relied upon any representation, warranty, covenant, condition or other term that is not set forth in this Agreement.

9.17. Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit any rights, powers or privileges which Lender may have pursuant to any law of the United States of America or any rule, regulation or order of any department or agency thereof and nothing herein shall be deemed to make unlawful any transaction or conduct by Lender which is lawful pursuant to, or which is permitted by, any of the foregoing.

9.18. Forum; Agent; Venue. To induce Lender to accept this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, Borrower irrevocably agrees that all actions or proceedings in any way, manner, or respect, arising out of or from or related to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall be litigated only in courts having situs within Cincinnati, Ohio. Borrower hereby consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any local, state, or federal court located within said city. Borrower hereby waives any right it may have to transfer or change the venue of any litigation brought against Borrower by Lender.

9.19. No Third Party Beneficiary. This Agreement is made for the sole benefit of Borrower and Lender, and no other person shall be deemed to have any privity of contract hereunder nor any right to rely hereon to any extent or for any purpose whatsoever, nor shall any other person have any right of action of any kind hereon or be deemed to be a third party beneficiary hereunder.

9.20. Legal Tender of United States. All payments hereunder shall be made in coin or currency which at the time of payment is legal tender in the United States of America for public and private debts.

9.21. Captions; Counterparts. Captions contained in this Agreement in no way define, limit or extend the scope or intent of their respective provisions. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

9.22. Knowledge; Discretion. All references herein to a party’s best knowledge shall be deemed to mean the best knowledge of such party based on commercially reasonable inquiry. All references herein to Borrower’s knowledge shall be deemed to refer to the best knowledge of Borrower and each Subsidiary. Unless specified to the contrary herein, all references herein to an exercise of discretion or judgment by Lender, to the making of a determination or designation by Lender, to the application of Lender’s discretion or opinion, to the granting or withholding of Lender’s consent or approval, to the consideration of whether a matter or thing is satisfactory or acceptable to Lender, or otherwise involving the decision making of Lender, shall be deemed to mean that Lender shall decide unilaterally using its sole and absolute discretion or judgment.

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE

SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF BORROWER OR LENDER. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS DISCUSSED THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL.

FORM OF SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE

THIS OBLIGATION IS NOT A DEPOSIT AND IT IS NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION. THIS OBLIGATION IS SUBORDINATED TO CLAIMS OF DEPOSITORS, IS UNSECURED, AND IS INELIGIBLE AS COLLATERAL FOR A LOAN BY THE PARK NATIONAL BANK.



$25,000,000		Cincinnati, Ohio
		December 28, 2007

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, THE PARK NATIONAL BANK, a national banking association (“Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of USB Capital Funding Corp., a Nevada corporation, or any holder hereof from time to time (“Lender”), at such place as may be designated by Lender, in writing, the principal sum of TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($25,000,000), or so much thereof that has been advanced and remains outstanding, with interest thereon as hereinafter provided. This Subordinated Debenture (this “Subordinated Debenture”) is issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Subordinated Debenture Purchase Agreement of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Lender (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.

The principal balance hereof shall be paid in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. The unpaid principal amount outstanding under this Subordinated Debenture from time to time shall bear interest before maturity in accordance with the Purchase Agreement. Under certain circumstances as provided in the Purchase Agreement, overdue interest payments under this Subordinated Debenture shall bear interest from the due date thereof until paid at a daily rate equal to the Default Rate of interest.

Lender will note on its internal records the amount of each payment in respect of the Subordinated Debenture. Whenever any payment to be made under this Subordinated Debenture shall be due on a day that is other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder.

There shall be no penalties or other charges payable by Borrower to Lender hereunder other than those payments expressly described in the Purchase Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement, all payments hereunder shall be credited first to accrued interest and second to the unpaid principal balance outstanding at the time of such payment.

The Subordinated Debenture may not be prepaid in any amount or at any time prior to the fifth anniversary of the date hereof. From and after such anniversary date, Borrower may prepay all or part, of the outstanding unpaid principal balance under this Subordinated Debenture without penalty as provided in the Purchase Agreement. Borrower may be required under regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) to obtain prior OCC approval before making any prepayment (including payment pursuant to an acceleration clause or redemption prior to maturity); however, Lender shall have no responsibility to verify whether Borrower has obtained OCC approval for any prepayment.

This Subordinated Debenture is not secured by any assets of Borrower. Except as provided in the Purchase Agreement with respect to the Junior Subordinated Debentures and the Guarantee, the rights of Lender to the principal sum hereunder or any part hereof and to any accrued interest thereon shall remain subject and subordinate to the claims of general creditors of Borrower and, upon dissolution or liquidation of Borrower, no payment of principal, interest or premium (including post-default interest)

A-1

shall be due and payable under the terms of this Subordinated Debenture until all general creditors of Borrower shall have been paid in full.

If an Event of Default shall occur, Lender shall have the rights set forth in Article 8 of the Purchase Agreement. Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify Lender and shall hold Lender harmless against any reasonable costs (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Lender in the collection of any amounts due as a result of an Event of Default or as otherwise provided in the Purchase Agreement.

Lender may sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer or encumber any or all of its interest under this Subordinated Debenture at any time and from time to time as permitted under the Purchase Agreement. In the event of a transfer of the Subordinated Debenture, all terms and conditions of this Subordinated Debenture shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of both the transferee and Borrower after such transfer; provided, however, that Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any such transferee unless and until any transfer of this Subordinated Debenture is recorded on the books and records of Borrower.

Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Subordinated Debenture, Borrower shall, at Lender’s expense, execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new debenture in principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated debenture, dated the date to which interest has been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Subordinated Debenture; provided that: (i) in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, Lender shall have delivered to Borrower an indemnity reasonably satisfactory to Borrower indemnifying and holding Borrower harmless from any and all liability, claim or damage resulting from such loss, theft or destruction; or (ii) in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender of this Subordinated Debenture to Borrower.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Subordinated Debenture and the Purchase Agreement, including specifically those set forth in the sections relating to subordination, events of default and covenants of Borrower, it is expressly understood and agreed that the OCC or any receiver or conservator of Borrower appointed by the OCC shall have the right in the performance of its legal duties, and as part of liquidation designed to protect or further the continued existence of Borrower or the rights of any parties or agencies with an interest in, or claim against, Borrower or its assets, to transfer or direct the transfer of the obligations of this Subordinated Debenture to any bank or bank holding company selected by such official which shall expressly assume the obligation of the due and punctual payment of the unpaid principal, and interest and premium, if any, on this Subordinated Debenture and the due and punctual performance of all covenants and conditions; and the completion of such transfer and assumption shall serve to supersede and void any default, acceleration or subordination which may have occurred, or which may occur due or related to such transaction, plan, transfer or assumption, pursuant to the provisions of this Subordinated Debenture and the Purchase Agreement, and shall serve to return the holder to the same position, other than for substitution of the obligor, it would have occupied had no default, acceleration or subordination occurred; except that any interest and principal previously due, other than by reason of acceleration, and not paid shall, in the absence of a contrary agreement by the holder of this Subordinated Debenture, be deemed to be immediately due and payable as of the date of such transfer and assumption, together with the interest from its original due date at the rate provided for herein.

The indebtedness of Borrower evidenced by this Subordinated Debenture, including the principal and premium, if any, and interest shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to Borrower’s obligations to its depositors, its obligations under bankers’ acceptances and letters of credit, and its obligations to its other creditors, including its obligations to the Federal Reserve Bank, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), and any rights acquired by the FDIC as a result of loans made by the FDIC to Borrower or the purchase or guarantee of any of its assets by the FDIC pursuant to the provisions of 12 USC 1823(c), (d) or (e), whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred and obligations to repay advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati; provided, however, the indebtedness evidenced hereby is expressly not subordinate and junior in any respect, and ranks senior

A-2

in all respects, to the Indebtedness evidenced by the Junior Subordinated Debenture. In the event of any insolvency, receivership, conservatorship, reorganization, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings or any liquidation or winding up of or relating to Borrower, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such obligations other than in respect of the Junior Subordinated Debenture shall be entitled to be paid in full before any payment shall be made on account of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, on this Subordinated Debenture. In the event of any such proceedings, after payment in full of all sums owing on such prior obligations, the holder of this Subordinated Debenture together with any obligations of Borrower ranking on a parity with this Subordinated Debenture, shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of Borrower the unpaid principal thereof and any unpaid premium, if any, and interest before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash, property or otherwise (including post-default interest), shall be made on account of any capital stock or any obligations of Borrower ranking junior to this Subordinated Debenture.

Nothing herein shall impair the obligation of Borrower, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Subordinated Debenture according to its terms.

No provision of this Subordinated Debenture shall be amended or waived except by a written instrument signed by a duly authorized officer of each of Borrower and Lender. Any notices or other communications permitted or required hereunder shall be sent and addressed in accordance with the requirements of the Purchase Agreement.

This Subordinated Debenture shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Nevada. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit any rights, powers or privileges which Lender may have pursuant to any law of the United States of America or any rule, regulation or order of any department or agency thereof and nothing herein shall be deemed to make unlawful any transaction or conduct by Lender which is lawful pursuant to, or which is permitted by, any of the foregoing.

To induce Lender to accept this Subordinated Debenture and the other Transaction Documents, Borrower irrevocably agrees that all actions or proceedings in any way, manner, or respect, arising out of or from or related to this Subordinated Debenture shall be litigated only in courts having situs within Cincinnati, Ohio. Borrower hereby consents and submits to the jurisdiction of any local, state, or federal court located within said city. Borrower hereby waives any right it may have to transfer or change the venue of any litigation brought against Borrower by Lender.

A-3

BORROWER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE OR ANY OF THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, OR ANY OTHER STATEMENTS OR ACTIONS OF BORROWER OR LENDER. BORROWER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED IN THE SIGNING OF THIS SUBORDINATED DEBENTURE AND IN THE MAKING OF THIS WAIVER BY INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL SELECTED OF ITS OWN FREE WILL, AND THAT IT HAS DISCUSSED THIS WAIVER WITH SUCH LEGAL COUNSEL. BORROWER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) IT HAS READ AND UNDERSTANDS THE MEANING AND RAMIFICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (ii) THIS WAIVER HAS BEEN REVIEWED BY BORROWER AND BORROWER’S COUNSEL AND IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO ENTER INTO THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AND (iii) THIS WAIVER SHALL BE EFFECTIVE AS TO EACH OF SUCH TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS AS IF FULLY INCORPORATED THEREIN.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Subordinated Debenture or caused this Subordinated Debenture to be executed by its duly authorized representative as of the date first above written.

FORM OF OPINION OF BORROWER’S COUNSEL

December 28, 2007

USB Capital Funding Corp.
c/o U.S. Bank National Association
425 Walnut Street
Cincinnati, Ohio 45202
Attn: Correspondent Banking Division

Re: Subordinated Debenture issued by The Park National Bank

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to The Park National Bank, a national banking association (the “Borrower”), in connection with the Facility described in the Subordinated Debenture Purchase Agreement dated as of December 28, 2007 (the “Purchase Agreement”) between the Borrower and USB Capital Funding Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Lender”). This opinion is furnished to you pursuant to Section 3.2.1 of the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used in this opinion that are defined in the Purchase Agreement have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein.

In connection with this opinion, we have examined originals or certified, conformed or reproduction copies of, and have relied upon the accuracy of, without independent verification or investigation, the following:

	(a)		the Purchase Agreement;

	(b)		the Subordinated Debenture issued by the Borrower on the date hereof;

	(c)		a certificate of certain of the officers of the Borrower as to certain factual matters (the “Officers’ Certificate”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A;

	(d)		the articles of association (the “Articles”) and the bylaws (the “Bylaws”) of the Borrower certified by the Secretary of the Borrower in the Officers’ Certificate as being true, correct and complete and in full force and effect as of the date of this opinion;

	(e)		an excerpt from the minutes of the meeting at which the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Borrower approved the borrowing by the Borrower evidenced by the Transaction Documents (as hereafter defined) certified by the Secretary of the Borrower in the Officers’ Certificate as being a meeting duly called and held on the date set forth in the Officers’ Certificate with the approval evidenced by such minutes being in full force and effect as of the date of this opinion; and

	(f)		a certification of the FDIC dated December 21, 2007 as to the Borrower’s status as an insured depository institution under the provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (the “FDIC Certification”).

We have also examined the originals or certified, conformed or reproduction copies of,

C-1

and have relied upon the accuracy of, without independent verification or investigation, such other records, agreements, instruments and documents as we have deemed necessary or relevant as the basis for our opinion. The documents referenced in clauses (a) and (b) of this paragraph are referred to herein as the “Transaction Documents”.

In such examinations, we have assumed (except, to the extent set forth in the opinions expressed below, as to the Borrower): (i) the genuineness of all signatures of parties to the Transaction Documents, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity with authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies; (ii) the due completion, execution, and acknowledgment as indicated thereon by all parties thereto, and delivery of all documents and instruments and of the consideration recited therein; (iii) that each of the parties to the Transaction Documents has the full power, authority and legal right under its charter and other governing documents, legislation, and applicable laws and regulations to execute and perform its obligations under all documents executed by it; (iv) that each Transaction Document has been duly authorized by, has been duly executed and delivered by, and constitutes the legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligation of each of the parties party thereto, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms; (v) that all signatories to each Transaction Document have been duly authorized; and (vi) that the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Ohio which may govern any one or more of the Transaction Documents are not inconsistent with the laws of the State of Ohio in any matter material to this opinion.

We have made no examination of the character, organization, activities or authority of any party other than the Borrower to any of the Transaction Documents which might have any effect upon our opinions expressed herein, and we have neither examined, nor do we opine upon, any provision or matter to the extent that the examination or opinion would require a financial, mathematical or accounting calculation or determination.

We have further assumed that (x) the Borrower is a national banking association formed and validly existing under the laws of the United States of America and is authorized thereunder to transact the business of banking on the date hereof and is an “eligible bank” within the meaning of 12 C.F.R. Section 5.3(g)(the “Banking Assumptions”) and (y) the indebtedness evidenced by the Subordinated Debenture shall constitute Tier 2 capital under 12 C.F.R. Section 3.100 and 12 C.F.R. 3, Appendix A, Section 2(b)(4).

As used herein, the phrases “requisite power and authority”, “Borrower’s powers” and “duly authorized by all necessary action” with respect to the Borrower refer and are limited to the Articles and the Bylaws of Borrower and federal statutes and regulations applicable to national banking associations, and are subject to the correctness of the Banking Assumptions.

Based upon and subject to the foregoing and the further qualifications and limitations set forth below, as of the date hereof (or as of the date of any assumption made herein or any certificate, schedule, exhibit or inquiry stated to have been examined, made, or otherwise relied upon by us), we are of the opinion that:

1. Based solely on the FDIC Certification, the Borrower is an insured depository institution under the applicable provisions of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act. The Borrower has the requisite power and authority to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. The authorized capital stock of Borrower is as stated in the Purchase Agreement and, based solely upon the Officers’ Certificate, all of the authorized shares of common stock of Borrower are issued and outstanding and owned of record by Bancorp.

2. Provided the Lender is an accredited investor within the meaning of Regulation D as promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”) and an “institutional investor” within the meaning of Revised Code of Ohio (“R.C.”) Section 1707.01(S), it is not necessary in conjunction with the issuance of the Subordinated Debenture to register the Subordinated Debenture under the Act or the laws of the State of Ohio.

C-2

3. Except for the notification required to be submitted to the OCC within 10 days of the issuance of the Subordinated Debenture and any filings which may be made pursuant to Regulation D as promulgated under the Act and any corresponding State of Ohio securities laws filings, no order, permission, consent or approval of any federal or state commission, board or regulatory authority is required for the execution and delivery or performance by Borrower of the Transaction Documents.

4. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Transaction Documents (a) are within Borrower’s powers, (b) have been duly authorized by all necessary action of Borrower, and (c) do not contravene (i) Borrower’s Articles or Bylaws or (ii) any law applicable to the Borrower.

5. Each Transaction Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms.

6. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Transaction Documents do not conflict with, or result in any breach or violation of, the Junior Subordinated Debenture.

The opinions expressed above are subject to the following additional qualifications:

All of our opinions are subject to the limitations, if any, of Title 11 U.S.C., as amended, and of the applicable insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by principles of equity. In addition, certain remedial and other provisions of the Transaction Documents may be limited by (i) implied covenants of good faith, fair dealing and commercially reasonable conduct and (ii) judicial discretion, in the instance of multiple or equitable remedies.

We have not conducted requisite factual or legal examinations, and accordingly we express no opinion, with respect to the application, if any, of laws concerning or promulgated by (a) environmental effects or agencies; (b) fraudulent dispositions or obligations (Chapter 1336, R.C. and Section 1313.56, R.C.); (c) except for our opinions in numbered paragraph 2 hereof, securities laws; (d) political subdivisions of the State of Ohio; or (e) any taxes or tax effects.

In addition, we express no opinion as to the enforceability of rights, provisions or interests to the extent, if any, dependent upon the enforceability of (a) waivers of rights of debtors or others which may not be waived or which may be waived only under certain circumstances under applicable law; (b) provisions of the Transaction Documents to the extent held to (i) require the payment of interest on interest, (ii) compensate any party for loss or expense in excess of actual loss or reasonable expenses or constitute a penalty, (iii) require reimbursement for or indemnity against actions by Lender taken in violation of applicable law or public policy, or (iv) purport to waive or negate in favor of Lender the effect of notice of a default or event of default, if any, which Lender may have at the time of closing; (c) any provision for the award of attorneys’ fees to an opposing party; (d) provisions which purport to establish evidentiary standards; (e) provisions which purport to choose venue and jurisdiction; or (f) provisions which purport to waive jury trial.

The opinions expressed herein are limited to the laws of the State of Ohio and the federal laws of the United States of America having effect on the date hereof, and we express no opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction. The opinions expressed herein, each of which speaks only as of the date hereof, are furnished specifically in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents for the benefit of the Lender and may not be relied upon, assigned, quoted or otherwise used in any manner or for any purpose by any other person or entity, without our specific prior written consent.

Very truly yours,
