Related to Manner of Converting Shares and Options Exchange Ratio

• 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.

• 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).

• Fractional Shares of Common Stock (a) The Company shall not issue fractions of Warrants or distribute Warrant Certificates which evidence fractional Warrants. Whenever any fractional Warrant would otherwise be required to be issued or distributed, the actual issuance or distribution shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest whole Warrant (rounded down). (b) The Company shall not issue fractions of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of Warrants or distribute stock certificates which evidence fractional shares of Common Stock. Whenever any fraction of a share of Common Stock would otherwise be required to be issued or distributed, the actual issuance or distribution in respect thereof shall be made in accordance with Section 2(d)(v) of the Warrant Certificate.

• TAKING OF RECORD; STOCK AND WARRANT TRANSFER BOOKS In the case of all dividends or other distributions by the Company to the holders of its Common Stock with respect to which any provision of Section 4 refers to the taking of a record of such holders, the Company will in each such case take such a record and will take such record as of the close of business on a Business Day. The Company will not at any time, except upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close its stock transfer books or Warrant transfer books so as to result in preventing or delaying the exercise or transfer of any Warrant.

• Deemed Issue of Additional Shares of Common Stock (a) If the Corporation at any time or from time to time after the Series A-2 Original Issue Date shall issue any Options or Convertible Securities (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities) or shall fix a record date for the determination of holders of any class of securities entitled to receive any such Options or Convertible Securities, then the maximum number of shares of Common Stock (as set forth in the instrument relating thereto, assuming the satisfaction of any conditions to exercisability, convertibility or exchangeability but without regard to any provision contained therein for a subsequent adjustment of such number) issuable upon the exercise of such Options or, in the case of Convertible Securities and Options therefor, the conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities, shall be deemed to be Additional Shares of Common Stock issued as of the time of such issue or, in case such a record date shall have been fixed, as of the close of business on such record date. (b) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security, the issuance of which resulted in an adjustment to the Conversion Price applicable to a Series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of Subsection 5.4.4, are revised as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (I) any increase or decrease in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any increase or decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, then, effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective, the applicable Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock computed upon the original issue of such Option or Convertible Security (or upon the occurrence of a record date with respect thereto) shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such revised terms been in effect upon the original date of issuance of such Option or Convertible Security. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no readjustment pursuant to this clause (b) shall have the effect of increasing the Conversion Price applicable to any series of Preferred Stock to an amount which exceeds the lower of (i) the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to the original adjustment made as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security, or (ii) the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock that would have resulted from any issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock (other than deemed issuances of Additional Shares of Common Stock as a result of the issuance of such Option or Convertible Security) between the original adjustment date and such readjustment date. (c) If the terms of any Option or Convertible Security (excluding Options or Convertible Securities which are themselves Exempted Securities), the issuance of which did not result in an adjustment to the Conversion Price of any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of Subsection 5.4.4 (either because the consideration per share (determined pursuant to Subsection 5.4.5) of the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto was equal to or greater than the Conversion Price for such series of Preferred Stock, then in effect, or because such Option or Convertible Security was issued before the Series A-2 Original Issue Date), are revised after the Series A-2 Original Issue Date as a result of an amendment to such terms or any other adjustment pursuant to the provisions of such Option or Convertible Security (but excluding automatic adjustments to such terms pursuant to anti-dilution or similar provisions of such Option or Convertible Security) to provide for either (1) any increase in the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of any such Option or Convertible Security or (2) any decrease in the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion or exchange, then such Option or Convertible Security, as so amended or adjusted, and the Additional Shares of Common Stock subject thereto (determined in the manner provided in Subsection 5.4.3(a)) shall be deemed to have been issued effective upon such increase or decrease becoming effective. (d) Upon the expiration or termination of any unexercised Option or unconverted or unexchanged Convertible Security (or portion thereof) which resulted (either upon its original issuance or upon a revision of its terms) in an adjustment to the Conversion Price applicable to any series of Preferred Stock pursuant to the terms of Subsection 5.4.4, the applicable Conversion Price shall be readjusted to such Conversion Price as would have obtained had such Option or Convertible Security (or portion thereof) never been issued. (e) If the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise, conversion and/or exchange of any Option or Convertible Security, or the consideration payable to the Corporation upon such exercise, conversion and/or exchange, is calculable at the time such Option or Convertible Security is issued or amended but is subject to adjustment based upon subsequent events, any adjustment to the Conversion Price for any series of Preferred Stock provided for in this Subsection 5.4.3 shall be effected at the time of such issuance or amendment based on such number of shares or amount of consideration without regard to any provisions for subsequent adjustments (and any subsequent adjustments shall be treated as provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this Subsection 5.4.

• Adjustment of Exercise Price, Number of Shares of Common Stock or Number of the Company Warrants The Exercise Price, the number of shares covered by each Warrant and the number of Warrants outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate. In the event that at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate, the Holder of any Warrant thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of capital stock of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the shares contained in Section 3 of the Warrant Certificate and the provisions of Sections 7, 11 and 12 of this Agreement with respect to the shares of Common Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares. All Warrants originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to the Exercise Price pursuant to the Warrant Certificate shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Exercise Price, the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable from time to time hereunder upon exercise of the Warrants, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein.

• Certification of Adjusted Exercise Price or Number of Shares of Common Stock Whenever the Exercise Price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of each Warrant is adjusted as provided in Section 11 or 13, the Company shall (a) promptly prepare a certificate setting forth the Exercise Price of each Warrant as so adjusted, and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment, (b) promptly file with the Warrant Agent and with each transfer agent for the Common Stock a copy of such certificate and (c) instruct the Warrant Agent to send a brief summary thereof to each Holder of a Warrant Certificate.

• Issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock (i) In the event the Issuer shall at any time following the Original Issue Date issue any Additional Shares of Common Stock (otherwise than as provided in the foregoing subsections (a) through (c) of this Section 4), at a price per share less than the Warrant Price then in effect or without consideration, then the Warrant Price upon each such issuance shall be adjusted to that price determined by multiplying the Warrant Price then in effect by a fraction: (A) the numerator of which shall be equal to the sum of (x) the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus (y) the number of shares of Common Stock (rounded to the nearest whole share) which the aggregate consideration for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at a price per share equal to the Warrant Price then in effect, and (B) the denominator of which shall be equal to the number of shares of Outstanding Common Stock immediately after the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock. (ii) No adjustment of the number of shares of Common Stock for which this Warrant shall be exercisable shall be made under paragraph (i) of Section 4(d) upon the issuance of any Additional Shares of Common Stock which are issued pursuant to the exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents, if any such adjustment shall previously have been made upon the issuance of such Common Stock Equivalents (or upon the issuance of any warrant or other rights therefor) pursuant to Section 4(e).

• Exchange in Lieu of Conversion (a) When a Holder surrenders its Notes for conversion, the Company may, at its election (an “Exchange Election”), direct the Conversion Agent to deliver, on or prior to the Trading Day immediately following the Conversion Date, such Notes to one or more financial institutions designated by the Company (each, a “Designated Financial Institution”) for exchange in lieu of conversion. In order to accept any Notes surrendered for conversion, the Designated Financial Institution(s) must agree to timely pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, in exchange for such Notes, the cash, shares of Common Stock or combination thereof that would otherwise be due upon conversion pursuant to Section 14.02 or such other amount agreed to by the Holder and the Designated Financial Institution(s) (the “Conversion Consideration”). If the Company makes an Exchange Election, the Company shall, by the close of business on the Trading Day following the relevant Conversion Date, notify in writing the Trustee, the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and the Holder surrendering Notes for conversion that the Company has made the Exchange Election, and the Company shall promptly notify the Designated Financial Institution(s) of the relevant deadline for delivery of the Conversion Consideration and the type of Conversion Consideration to be paid and/or delivered, as the case may be. (b) Any Notes delivered to the Designated Financial Institution(s) shall remain outstanding, subject to the applicable procedures of the Depositary. If the Designated Financial Institution(s) agree(s) to accept any Notes for exchange but does not timely pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the related Conversion Consideration, or if such Designated Financial Institution(s) does not accept the Notes for exchange, the Company shall pay and/or deliver, as the case may be, the relevant Conversion Consideration, as, and at the time, required pursuant to this Indenture as if the Company had not made the Exchange Election. (c) The Company’s designation of any Designated Financial Institution(s) to which the Notes may be submitted for exchange does not require such Designated Financial Institution(s) to accept any Notes.

• Conversion of Company Shares As of the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the holder of any Company Share or Acquiror Share, each Company Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than (a) shares to be cancelled in accordance with Section 3.2 and (b) Dissenting Shares) shall be converted into the right to receive in cash from Acquiror, without interest, an amount equal to $16.00 (the "Merger Consideration").
