• Manner and Basis of Converting Shares (a) At the Effective Time: (i) each share of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Acquisition Corp. that shall be outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder thereof, be converted into the right to receive ten (10) shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Surviving Corporation, so that at the Effective Time, Parent shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Corporation; (A) the shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the "Company Common Stock"), and Class A 4% Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company (the "Class A Preferred Stock"), which shares constitute all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company, and (B) the shares of Company Common Stock into which the Company's Series 1 Convertible 8% Promissory Notes (the "Series 1 Notes") and Series 2 Subordinated Convertible 12% Promissory Notes (the "Series 2 Notes") may be converted (the Company Common Stock, Class A Preferred Stock and the shares of Company Common Stock into which the Series 1 Notes and the Series 2 Notes may be converted being referred to herein collectively as the "Company Stock"), beneficially owned by the Stockholders listed in Schedule 2.5 (other than shares of Company Stock as to which appraisal rights are perfected pursuant to the applicable provisions of the DGCL and not withdrawn or otherwise forfeited), shall, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holders thereof, be converted into the right to receive the number of shares of Parent Common Stock specified in Schedule 1.5 for each of the Stockholders; and (iii) each share of Company Stock held in the treasury of the Company immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled in the Merger and cease to exist. (b) After the Effective Time, there shall be no further registration of transfers on the stock transfer books of the Surviving Corporation of the shares of Company Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. (c) At the Effective Time, all issued and outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock not theretofore converted into shares of Company Common Stock shall, without any action on the part of the holder of any shares of Class A Preferred Stock, be converted into that number of shares of Parent Common Stock that such holder would have been entitled to receive in the Merger had such holder converted its shares of Class A Preferred Stock into Company Common Stock prior to the Effective Time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at or prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall (x) obtain the consent from the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock and Company Common Stock to the amendment of that portion of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation governing the rights and preferences of the Class A Preferred Stock to provide for the automatic conversion of all outstanding shares of Class A Preferred Stock directly into Parent Common Stock at the Effective Time, all in order to effectuate the transactions contemplated by this Section 1.5(c).

• Manner of Converting Shares Each share of CenterState common stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding following the Effective Time and shall be unchanged by the Merger. Each share of common stock of Charter owned directly by CenterState, Charter or any of their respective subsidiaries (other than shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like for the benefit of customers or shares held as collateral for outstanding debt previously contracted) immediately prior to the Effective Time, and each share of Charter common stock that is remitted to Charter prior to the Effective Time for purposes of repaying amounts owed by the CharterBank Employee Stock Ownership Plan to Charter, shall be cancelled and retired at the Effective Time without any conversion thereof, and no payment shall be made with respect thereto. Each share of common stock of Charter issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares described in the immediately preceding paragraph), shall be converted into the right to receive (i) 0.738 shares (the “Exchange Ratio”) of CenterState common stock (the “Stock Consideration”) and (ii) $2.30 in cash, without interest (the “Cash Consideration” and, together with the Stock Consideration, the “Merger Consideration”), and cash in lieu of any fractional shares. CenterState shall pay or cause to be paid to each holder of a fractional share of CenterState common stock, rounded to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, an amount of cash (without interest and rounded to the nearest whole cent) determined by multiplying the fractional share interest in CenterState common stock to which such holder would otherwise be entitled by the average closing price of CenterState common stock as reported on the NASDAQ Stock Market for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately prior to the later of (i) the day on which the last required regulatory approval for consummation of the Merger is obtained without regard to any requisite waiting period, or (ii) the date on which Charter stockholders approve the Merger (the “CenterState Average Stock Price”). If the number of shares of CenterState common stock or Charter common stock issued and outstanding prior to the Effective Time shall be increased or decreased as a result of a stock split, stock combination, stock dividend, recapitalization or similar transaction, with respect to such stock, and the record date therefor shall be prior to the Effective Time, the Merger Consideration shall be proportionately adjusted as necessary to preserve the relative economic benefit to CenterState and Charter.

• Issuance of Convertible Securities If the Company in any manner issues or sells any Convertible Securities, whether or not immediately convertible (other than where the same are issuable upon the exercise of Options) and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange is less than the Market Price on the date of issuance, then the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities will, as of the date of the issuance of such Convertible Securities, be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued and sold by the Company for such price per share. For the purposes of the preceding sentence, the "price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such conversion or exchange" is determined by dividing (i) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by the Company as consideration for the issuance or sale of all such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to the Company upon the conversion or exchange thereof at the time such Convertible Securities first become convertible or exchangeable, by (ii) the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities. No further adjustment to the Exercise Price will be made upon the actual issuance of such Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities.

• Conversion of Company Capital Stock At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Parent, the Company or the holder of any of the shares of Company Common Stock, Parent Stock or any capital stock of Merger Sub: (a) All shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) held in treasury or owned directly by the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, Merger Sub or Parent (other than shares in trust accounts, managed accounts and the like or shares held in satisfaction of a debt previously contracted) shall be cancelled and retired and shall not represent capital stock of the Surviving Company and shall not be exchanged for the Merger Consideration. Shares of Company Common Stock that are canceled and retired pursuant to this Section 2.1 are hereinafter referred to as the “Excluded Shares”; and (b) Each share of Company Common Stock (other than Excluded Shares and Dissenting Shares) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become the right to receive 0.7300 (the “Exchange Ratio”) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Parent (the “Parent Stock”), subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 2.1(d) (such per share amount, together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares of Parent Stock to be paid pursuant to Section 2.1(c), is hereinafter referred to as the “Merger Consideration”). Effective as of the Effective Time, each share of Company Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than Excluded Shares) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of certificates or evidence of shares in book-entry form which immediately prior to the Effective Time evidenced shares of Company Common Stock (each, a “Certificate”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor upon surrender of such Certificate in accordance with Section 3.2.

• Conversion of Merger Sub Capital Stock Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

• Working Capital Warrants Each of the Working Capital Warrants shall be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

• Cancellation of Converted Securities All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee to be cancelled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 3.09.

• Limitation on Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock (a) The Covenant Parties will not, and will not permit any of the Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently, or otherwise (collectively, “incur” and collectively, an “incurrence”) with respect to any Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) and the Borrower and the Restricted Guarantors will not issue any shares of Disqualified Stock and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Borrower and the Restricted Guarantors may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock, and any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Indebtedness), issue shares of Disqualified Stock and issue shares of Preferred Stock, if the Consolidated Leverage Ratio at the time such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock is issued would have been no greater than 6.75 to 1.00, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred, or the Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock had been issued, as the case may be, and the application of proceeds therefrom had occurred at the beginning of the most recently ended four fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available. (b) The foregoing limitations of Section 6.05 (a) will not apply to: (1) the incurrence of Indebtedness under Credit Facilities by the Covenant Parties or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries and the issuance and creation of letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances thereunder (with letters of credit and bankers’ acceptances being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the face amount thereof), up to an aggregate principal amount of $6,000 million outstanding at any one time (including any Indebtedness incurred or represented by the Loans or any Additional Senior Secured Obligations by the Borrower or any Guarantor, the proceeds of which Loans or Additional Senior Secured Obligations are used to repay such Credit Facilities); (2) [reserved]; (3) Indebtedness of the Covenant Parties and the Restricted Subsidiaries in existence on the Closing Date (other than Indebtedness described in clause (1) of this Section 6.05(b)); (4) Indebtedness (including Capitalized Lease Obligations), Disqualified Stock and Preferred Stock incurred by the Covenant Parties or any of the Restricted Subsidiaries, to finance the purchase, lease or improvement of property (real or personal) or equipment that is used or useful in a Similar Business, whether through the direct purchase of assets or the Capital Stock of any Person owning such assets; (5) Indebtedness incurred by a Covenant Party or any Restricted Subsidiary constituting reimbursement obligations with respect to letters of credit issued in the ordinary course of business, including letters of credit in respect of workers’ compensation claims, or other Indebtedness with respect to reimbursement type obligations regarding workers’ compensation claims; provided, however, that upon the drawing of such letters of credit or the incurrence of such Indebtedness, such obligations are reimbursed within 30 days following such drawing or incurrence; (6) Indebtedness arising from agreements of a Covenant Party or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price or similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition of any business, assets or a Subsidiary, other than guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or a Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided, however, that (a) such Indebtedness is not reflected on the balance sheet (other than by application of FIN 45 as a result of an amendment to an obligation in existence on August 9, 2006) of a Covenant Party or any Restricted Subsidiary (contingent obligations referred to in a footnote to financial statements and not otherwise reflected on the balance sheet will not be deemed to be reflected on such balance sheet for purposes of this clause (6)(a)); and (b) the maximum assumable liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the gross proceeds including non-cash proceeds (the fair market value of such non-cash proceeds being measured at the time received and without giving effect to any subsequent changes in value) actually received by the Covenant Parties and the Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such disposition;
