this Warrant remains outstanding and exercisable the Company shall keep and
maintain at its principal offices a register in which the ownership and any
exchange of this Warrant shall be recorded. The Company shall not at any time,
except upon the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, close
such register so as to result in the prevention or delay of the proper exercise
of this Warrant.
Section 5. Transferability. This Warrant and all rights hereunder

Stock (except to the extent necessary to reflect the balance of the number of
shares purchasable hereunder).

This Warrant has been duly authorized and executed by the
Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding

(b) The Company covenants and agrees that all shares of Common
Stock which may be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant
will, upon issuance, be fully paid and nonassessable and free
from all taxes, liens and charges (other than taxes in respect
of any transfer occurring contemporaneously with such
issuance).
Section 8. Adjustments to Exercise Price and Number of Shares
Purchasable. The Exercise Price and number of shares of Common Stock
purchasable pursuant to this Warrant shall be subject to adjustment from time
to time as follows:
(a) In the event the Company shall at any time exchange, as a
whole, by subdivision or combination in any manner or by the
making of a stock dividend, the number of shares of Common
Stock then outstanding into a different number of shares, with
or without par value, then thereafter the number of shares of
Common Stock which the Holder shall be entitled to purchase
pursuant to this Warrant (calculated immediately prior to such
change), shall be increased or decreased, as the case may be,
in direct proportion to the increase or decrease in the number
of shares of outstanding Common Stock of the Company by reason
of such change, and the Exercise Price after such change
shall, in the event of an increase in the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding, be proportionately reduced, and, in
the event of a decrease in the number of shares of Common
Stock outstanding, be proportionately increased.
(b) In the event of any reclassification or change of outstanding
shares of Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or
from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par
value, or as a result of a subdivision, combination or stock
dividend as provided for in Section 8(a)), or in the event of
any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the
Company into, another corporation, or in the event of any sale
of all or substantially all of the property, assets, business
and goodwill of the Company, the Company, or such successor or
purchasing corporation, as the case may be, shall provide that
the Holder of this Warrant shall thereafter be entitled to
purchase, by exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities and property receivable
upon such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or
sale by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock which
this Warrant entitles the Holder to purchase immediately prior
to such reclassification, change, consolidation, merger or
sale. Any such successor corporation thereafter shall be
substituted for the Company for purposes of this Warrant.

Section 9. Holder's Rights. Except as otherwise expressly set forth
herein, this Warrant shall not entitle the Holder to any rights of a stockholder
of the Company, except that if the Company, during the period in which this
Warrant is exercisable, declares a dividend upon the Common Stock payable
otherwise than in cash out of earnings or earned surplus (computed in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principles) or otherwise than in Common Stock
or securities convertible into Common Stock, then the Holder, upon exercise of
this Warrant, shall receive the number of shares of Common Stock purchasable
upon such exercise and, in addition and without further payment, the cash, stock
or other securities or property which the Holder would have received by way of
dividends or other distribution if, continuously since the date hereof, such
Holder (a) had been the record holder of the number of shares of Common Stock
then being purchased, and (b) had retained all such cash, stock and other
securities (other than Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock)
and/or other property payable in respect of such Common Stock or in respect of
any stock or securities paid as dividends and originating directly or indirectly
from such Common Stock.
Section 10. Notices. If there shall be any adjustment as provided in
Section 8 hereof, or if securities or property other than shares of Common Stock
of the Company shall become purchasable in lieu of shares of Common Stock upon
exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall forthwith cause written notice
thereof to be sent by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the registered Holder
of this Warrant at the address of such Holder shown on the books of the Company,
which notice shall be accompanied by an explanation setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for the Holder's becoming entitled to purchase such shares and
the number of shares which may be purchased and the exercise price thereof, or
the facts requiring any such adjustment and the exercise price and number of
shares purchasable subsequent to such adjustment, or the kind and amount of any
such securities or property so purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant, as
the case may be. At the request of the Holder and upon surrender of this
Warrant, the Company shall reissue this Warrant in a form conforming to such
adjustments.
Section 11. Cash in Lieu of Fractional Shares. The Company shall not
be required to issue fractional shares upon the exercise of this Warrant. If, by
reason of any change made pursuant to Sections 8 or 9 hereof, the Holder of this
Warrant would be entitled, upon the exercise of any rights evidenced hereby, to
receive a fractional share, the Company shall, upon such exercise, pay to the
Holder an amount in cash equal to the Average Market Value of such fractional
interest, determined as of the Exercise Date.
Section 12. Forfeiture. If at any time while this Warrant is
outstanding, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System makes a formal
capital call upon the Company or the Comptroller of the Currency makes a formal
capital call upon the Bank, the Holder will exercise this Warrant in whole or in
part as may be needed for additional required capital, or the Warrant shall be
forfeited. The number of shares of Common Stock as to which the Warrant shall be
exercised by each Holder to meet the capital call will be calculated pro rata on
the basis of the number of shares of Common Stock subject to a Warrant held by
each Holder. The exercise price for shares of Common Stock purchased upon such
exercise will be equal to the greater of the Exercise Price determined pursuant
to Section 2 hereof and the then-current book value per share of Common Stock of
the Company. Any portion of this Warrant not required to be exercised under the
terms of any such capital call may be exercised under the original terms of this
Warrant.

discretion impose upon the registered Holder hereof (as shown on the register of
Warrants maintained by the Company), issue a new warrant of like denomination,
tenor, and date as the Warrant so lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed.
Section 14. Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the
absence of affirmative action by the Holder hereof to purchase shares of Common
Stock, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Holder,
shall give rise to any liability of such Holder for the purchase price of the
shares or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by
the Company or by creditors of the Company.
Section 15. Applicable Law. The validity, interpretation, and
performance of this Warrant shall be governed by the laws of the State of
Florida.
Section 16. Successors and Assigns. This Warrant and the rights
evidenced hereby shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the
successors and permitted assigns of the Company and the Holder hereof.
