SUBORDINATED CAPITAL NOTE

SERIES 2008-1

DATED AS OF AUGUST 5, 2008

U.S. $15,000,000.00		No.-001-

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, Pinnacle National Bank, a national bank (the “Company”), hereby promises to pay to SunTrust Bank (“SunTrust”) at its offices at 303 Peachtree Street, Atlanta, GA 30308 or to any Holder or Holders at any other place as SunTrust or such other

Holders may from time to time designate the principal amount of FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS ($15,000,000) on September 30, 2015 (the “Maturity Date”) and to pay interest thereon in arrears on each of March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31 of each year, including the Maturity Date, or if any such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date, beginning on September 30, 2008), as provided below.

     1. Interest.

     (a) The Interest Rate for the initial interest period from the date of original issuance as of August 5, 2008 to September 30, 2008 shall be 6.29813% per annum. Thereafter, interest on the outstanding principal amount of this Note and any successor Note or Notes (the “Notes”) at the rate equal to three-month LIBOR, as in effect for each Interest Reset Period, plus 3.50% per annum from September 30, 2008 until the Maturity Date. Interest will be computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid, from the date of original issuance. Interest shall also be due and payable when these Notes shall become due and payable (whether at maturity or otherwise). The Company shall pay interest on overdue principal and premium, if any, and interest to the extent all obligations of the Borrower hereunder are not paid in full at maturity of this Note, to the extent lawful and then permitted by Federal Reserve rules then applicable to subordinated capital notes includible within Tier 2 capital, at a rate per annum equal to the Interest Rate applicable from time to time plus 2.00% per annum (“Default Interest”). All Default Interest shall be payable on demand. For purposes of payment of interest by the Company, three-month LIBOR in respect of each Interest Payment Date shall be determined by SunTrust in accordance with the provisions of this Note.

     (b) The “LIBOR Determination Date” is the second London business day prior to the “Interest Reset Date”, which shall be the same date as each interest payment date. On each LIBOR Determination Date, SunTrust as calculation agent hereunder (the “Calculation Agent”) will determine LIBOR for the period (the “Interest Reset Period”) beginning on such Interest Reset Date through the day immediately preceding the next succeeding Interest Reset Date, as follows: SunTrust, as the Calculation Agent will determine the offered rates for three-month U.S. Dollar deposits in the London interbank deposit market, commencing on such Interest Reset Date, which are specified on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or any successor page), or such similar service as determined by the Bank that displays British Bankers’ Association interest settlement rates for deposits in U.S. Dollars, as of 11:00 A.M. (London, England time) two (2) London business days prior to the Original Issue Date and each Interest Reset Date; provided, that if no such offered rate appears on such page, the rate used will be the per annum rate of interest determined by SunTrust, as the Calculation Agent to be the rate at which deposits in U.S. Dollars for a three-month period are offered to SunTrust in the London interbank deposit market as of 10:00 A.M. (Atlanta, Georgia time), on the day which is 2 Business Days prior to each Interest Reset Date. If Reuters Screen LIBOR01 is replaced by another page, or if the Reuters service is replaced by a successor service, then LIBOR means the replacement page or service selected by SunTrust to display the London interbank offered rates of major banks.

     Rates quoted must be based on a principal amount of at least U.S. $1,000,000. If fewer than three New York City banks selected by SunTrust are quoting rates, LIBOR for such Interest Reset Period will be determined as of the last Business Day preceding the Interest Determination Date on which three-month LIBOR can be determined from the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page.

     The foregoing provisions of Section 1 notwithstanding, and regardless of whether SunTrust is a Holder any of or all the Notes and prior to any Interest Reset Date, SunTrust, as the Calculation Agent shall have determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Company) that (a) by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant London interbank deposit market, adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR, or (b) LIBOR does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to SunTrust of maintaining the funding for the Notes, SunTrust, as the Calculation Agent shall give written notice (or telephonic or facsimile notice, promptly confirmed in writing) to the Company and the other Holders of Notes, if any, as soon as practicable thereafter. Until SunTrust notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist (which notice shall be promptly sent by SunTrust), interest on the Subordinated Term Loan shall be calculated at the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time, plus 1.30% per annum.

     (c) If any change in Law shall:

     (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, SunTrust hereunder, including the full principal amount of the Note and any accrued but unpaid interest and Default Interest, if any; or

     (ii) impose on SunTrust or the eurodollar interbank market any other condition affecting this Note and the result of the foregoing is to increase the cost to SunTrust of maintaining the full amount provided to the Company hereunder or to reduce the amount received or receivable by SunTrust hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount), then the Company shall promptly pay, upon written notice from and demand by SunTrust, for and on behalf of itself and any other Holder, within 5 Business Days after the date of such notice and demand, such additional amount or amounts sufficient to compensate SunTrust for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

     If SunTrust as a Holder or as Calculation Agent shall have determined that on or after the date of this Agreement any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on SunTrust’s capital (or on the capital of any parent company of SunTrust) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which SunTrust or any SunTrust parent company corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the policies of SunTrust and its parent companies with respect to capital adequacy) then, from time to time, within 5 Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of written demand by SunTrust, the Company shall pay to SunTrust and the other Holders, if any, such additional amounts as will compensate SunTrust for any such reduction suffered.

     A certificate of SunTrust setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate SunTrust shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive, absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay SunTrust such amount or amounts within 15 days. Any failure or delay on the part of the SunTrust to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of SunTrust’s right to receive, and the Company’s obligation hereunder to pay, such compensation. Any additional compensation due hereunder as a result of this Section shall be paid to SunTrust and to any other Holder of Notes pro rata to the principal amount of Notes held by each of them

     (d) In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable hereunder or any other fees or charges exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by applicable law, and in the event any such payment is inadvertently paid by the Company or inadvertently received by the Holder, then the Holder promptly upon such determination shall return such excess sum. It is the express intent hereof that the Company not pay and the Holder not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Company under applicable law.

     2. Method of Payment. The Company will pay interest on the Notes, except as to Default Interest, to SunTrust and any other Holders, at the close of business on the day immediately preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after the related Record Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, and as provided herein with respect to Default Interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium, and interest, if any, by wire transfer of immediately available funds with respect to principal of, and premium and interest, if any, on all Notes the Holders of which have $5,000,000 or more principal amount of such Notes and who have provided appropriate wire transfer instructions to the Company. Such payment shall be in such lawful coin and currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments on this Note shall be applied first to accrued interest and the balance, if any, to principal. The Company’s obligations to pay the principal of, and interest (including Default Interest) on, this Note shall be evidenced by this Note and the records of SunTrust. The calculations of the interest rate and entries made in such records shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of, and payments by, the Company therein recorded; provided, that the failure or delay of SunTrust in maintaining or making such records or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to pay the principal of, and interest (including Default Interest) in accordance with the terms of this Note.

     3. Form and Dating. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law and agreements to which the Company is subject or usage. The Notes shall be issued initially in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples thereof, and may be transferred only in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples thereof.

     4. Redemption. The Company shall have the option, but not the obligation, to redeem the Notes in full, but not in part, on any Interest Payment Date upon not less than 30 days’ prior notice to SunTrust and the other Holders at any time prior to September 30, 2015, subject to prior OCC approval or any approval required by its then applicable regulators, if such approval is then required.

     5. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. The Notes or any interest therein may be assigned or otherwise transferred by the registered Holder(s) thereof, provided any such transfer shall be made in a manner that does not require the Company to register the Notes under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities or blue sky laws. The Company shall register any assignment or transfer of the Notes promptly upon direction of such transfer, and confirmation from, a registered Holder of compliance herewith.

     6. Amendment, Supplement and Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions hereinafter set forth, the Notes may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Company and Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and any existing Default or Event of Default (other than a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Notes, except a payment default resulting from an acceleration that has been rescinded) or compliance with any provision of the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of or tender offer or exchange for Notes). Without the consent of any Holder of a Note (but with the consent of the Company), the Notes may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company’s obligations to the Holders of the Notes in the case of a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or to make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Notes of any such Holder.

     7. Subordination.

     (a) This Note is unsecured, and is junior and subordinate in right of payment to all Senior Debt of the Company, whether now existing or hereafter created, which Senior Debt includes all indebtedness owed by the Company to its secured creditors, its general creditors and depositors.

     (b) Upon or in the event of any distribution to creditors of the Company (i) in a total or partial liquidation or dissolution of the Company; (ii) in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property; (iii) in an assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Company; or (iv) in any marshalling of the Company’s assets and liabilities:

     (i) holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Obligations due or to become due in respect of such Senior Debt (including interest after the commencement of any such proceeding at the rates specified in the applicable Senior Debt) before the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to receive any payment or distribution with respect to the Notes or on account of any Claim; and

     (ii) until all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt (as provided in the immediately preceding paragraph (i)) are paid in full in cash, any payment or distribution

(including any payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Notes) to which the Holders of Notes would be entitled but for this Section 7 shall be made to holders of Senior Debt;

except that, in either case, Holders of Notes may receive payments and other distributions made from any fund held in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes.

     (c) The Company may not make any payment or distribution (including any payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other Indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the Notes) to any Holder of Notes in respect of Obligations or Claims with respect to the Notes and may not acquire from any Holder of Notes any Notes for cash or property (except that Holders of Notes may receive payments and other distributions made from any funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of the Notes), until all principal, interest and other Obligations with respect to the Senior Debt have been paid in full in cash if:

     (i) a default occurs in the payment when due of the principal of, interest on, or any other Obligation with respect to, any Senior Debt;

     (ii) a default, other than a payment default, occurs and is continuing with respect to any Senior Debt that permits the holders of Senior Debt as to which such default relates to accelerate its maturity and the Company receives a notice of such default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from the Representative of any Senior Debt.

The Company may and shall, upon any required Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) approval, if any, resume payments on, and distributions in respect of, the Notes and may acquire them upon:

     (x) in the case of a default referred to in Section 7(c)(i), hereof, the date on which such default is cured or waived in accordance with the terms of such Senior Debt; or

     (y) in the case of a default referred to in Section 7(c)(ii) hereof, the earlier of (1) the date on which such default is cured or waived in accordance with the terms of such Senior Debt, or (2) 179 days after the date on which the applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received by the Holders, unless the maturity of any Senior Debt has been accelerated.

If the Holders receive any such Payment Blockage Notice, no new Payment Blockage Notice shall be delivered pursuant to this Section 7 unless and until:

     (i) 360 days shall have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice; and

     (ii) all scheduled payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes that have come due have been paid in full in cash.

Further, no nonpayment default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the Holders shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage Notice unless such default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 days.

     (d) If payment of the Notes is accelerated because of the occurrence of an Event of Default, then the Company shall cooperate to promptly notify each Representative, or if there is no Representative, each Holder of Senior Debt of the acceleration; provided, however, that so long as any Senior Debt is outstanding, any such acceleration shall not become effective, and the Company shall not make, and the Holders of Notes may not accept or receive, any payment with respect to the Notes until the day which is five Business Days after the receipt by Representatives of Senior Debt of written notice of acceleration. Thereafter, the Company may make payments with respect to the Note in accordance with the terms of this Note.

     (e) In the event that any Holder of Notes receives any payment or distribution with respect to the Notes at a time when such Holder, as applicable, has actual knowledge that such payment or distribution is prohibited by Section 7 hereof, such payment or distribution shall be held by such Holder, in trust for the benefit of, and shall be segregated from other funds and property of such Holder of Notes and be paid forthwith over and delivered in the same form as received (with any necessary endorsement), upon written request, to, the trustee of the Senior Debt or the related Holders or their Representatives, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Obligations with respect to Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay such Obligations in full in accordance with their terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt.

     (f) With respect to the holders of Senior Debt, the Holders (and each Trustee or Representative, if any, on behalf of such Holders) undertake to perform only such obligations on the part of the Holders as are specifically set forth in this Section 7, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Debt shall be construed or implied into this Note against the Holders of Notes. The Holders of Notes shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary or other duty to the holders of Senior Debt, and shall not be liable to any such holders for any payment or distribution to or on behalf of Holders of Notes or the Company or any other Person money or assets to which any holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Section 7, except if such payment is made as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Holder.

     (g) The Company shall promptly notify the Holders of any facts known to an Officer of the Company that would cause a payment of any Obligations with respect to the Notes or of any Claim to violate this Section 7, but failure to give such notice shall not affect the subordination of the Notes and all Claims of the Senior Debt as provided in Section 7.

     (h) After all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash and until the Notes are paid in full in cash, Holders of Notes shall be subrogated (equally and ratably with all other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Notes) to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions otherwise payable to the Holders of Notes have been applied to the payment of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Section

9 to holders of Senior Debt that otherwise would have been made to Holders of Notes is not, as between the Company and Holders of Notes, a payment by the Company on the Notes.

     (i) This Section 7 defines the relative rights of Holders of the Notes and holders of Senior Debt. Nothing in this Note shall:

     (i) impair, as between the Company and Holders of Notes, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of, premium and interest, including Default Interest, if any, on the Notes in accordance with their terms;

     (ii) affect the relative rights of Holders of Notes and creditors of the Company other than their rights in relation to holders of Senior Debt; or

     (iii) prevent any Holder of Notes from exercising its available remedies upon a Default or Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders and owners of Senior Debt to receive distributions and payments otherwise payable to Holders of Notes.

     (j) Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their Representatives. Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Section 7, the Holders of Notes shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction or upon any certificate of such Representative or of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Holders of Notes for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Section 7.

     8. Certain Covenants. The Company covenants and agrees with the Holders that:

     (a) The Company will not declare, pay or make any dividends or distributions on or in respect of, and will not authorize or call, redeem, repurchase or retire, any Company or Subsidiary securities or indebtedness ranking pari passu or junior to the Notes, including any Company junior subordinated debt, capital stock and equity securities, at any time when an Event of Default exists and is continuing hereunder or under the Note Purchase/Loan Agreement or where such action would result in such an Event of Default

     (b) The Company may, without the prior written consent of the Holders, enter into agreements with respect to and consummate any mergers, consolidations, sales, leases or transfers of all or substantially all its business or assets, or any spin-off, split-off or restructuring, provided that, if the Company is not the surviving entity in the transaction, the successor entity is a corporation or other entity that is a bank or savings association that is an Insured Depository Institution organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and which expressly assumes by supplemental written instrument the due and punctual payment of the principal and interest and other additional amounts on this Note, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions contained herein and in each of the Company’s indentures, indebtedness and loan agreements; and provided further, that immediately after giving effect to the transaction, there is no event of default under the other indentures, indebtedness and loan agreements of the Company or an

Event of Default hereunder and no event, which, after notice or the lapse of time or both, would become an event of default under the other indentures, indebtedness and loan agreements, or an Event of Default hereunder. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Note, it is expressly understood and agreed that the OCC or any receiver or conservator of the Company 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 the Company or the rights of any parties or agencies with an interest in, or claim against, the Company or its assets, to transfer or direct the transfer of the obligations of this Note 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 the Note and the due and punctual performance of all covenants and conditions hereunder; 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 Note, 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, 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.

     (c) The Company will do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence, and all material rights and franchises in full force and effect to the extent that a failure to do so would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and to maintain its properties in good condition.

     (d) Except as would not be disadvantageous to the Holders of the Notes, the Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid and discharged before they become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied upon it or any of its Subsidiaries or upon the income, profits or property of any of them; provided that the Company will not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any tax, assessment, charge or claim the amount applicability or validity of which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and for which appropriate reserves have been established on the books and records of the Company or its Subsidiaries.

     9. Defaults and Remedies. Events of Default include: (i) default which continues for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes; (ii) default in payment when due of the principal of or premium, if any, on the Notes; (iii) failure by the Company for 30 days after receipt of notice from Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes to comply with any of its other agreements or obligations in the Notes or the related Note Purchase/Loan Agreement with respect to the Notes; and (iv) the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or conservatorship with respect to the Company or any subsidiary or group of subsidiaries that, taken together, would constitute a Significant Subsidiary. The Holders of the Notes may not accelerate the maturity of the Notes upon any Event of Default except in the case of an Event of Default arising as the result of the bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, conservatorship or reorganization of the Company.

     10. Miscellaneous.

     (a) The transfer of Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged on the Company’s books and records. The Company may require a Holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents, and may require a Holder to pay any transfer taxes and fees required by law. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

     (b) All parties now or hereafter liable with respect to this Note, whether the Company, any guarantor, endorser, any Successor or any other Person, hereby waive diligence, presentment for payment, demand, notice of non-payment or dishonor, protest and notice of protest, or any other notice of any kind with respect thereto. No delay or omission on the part of the Holder in the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under the related Note Purchase/Loan Agreement, or at law or in equity, shall constitute a waiver thereof in that or any subsequent instance, and no single or partial exercise by the Holder of any right or remedy hereunder, under the related Note Purchase/Loan Agreement, or at law or in equity, shall preclude or estop another or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or remedy.

     (c) Time is of the essence for all purposes of this Note.

     (d) This Note is ineligible as collateral for any loan or extension of credit by the Company or its Subsidiaries. Any Holder that is a depository institution waives all rights of setoff it may have against the Company under this Note.

     (e) The Company shall pay (i) all out-of-pocket expenses of the Holder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and charges of counsel actually incurred for the Holder in connection with the preparation, administration and/or enforcement of this Note, any waiver or consent hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder, and (ii) if a Default occurs, all out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred by the Holder, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and charges of counsel actually incurred in connection with such Default and the collection and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom.
