WHEREAS, for the Fiscal Quarter ending December 31, 2008, (a) the Borrower’s Allowance for

the Revolving Commitment (whether used or unused) of such Lender during the
Availability Period; provided, that if such Lender continues to have any Revolving
Loans after the Commitment Termination Date, then the facility fee shall continue to
accrue on the daily amount of such Revolving Loans from and after the Commitment
Termination Date to the date that all of such Lender’s Revolving Loans have been
paid in full.”
(c) The Credit Agreement is further amended by deleting Section 5.1(i) in its entirety and

consolidated basis will not permit at the end of each Fiscal Quarter its Allowance
for Loan and Lease Losses to be less than 60% of its Nonperforming Assets.”
(e) The Credit Agreement is further amended by deleting Section 6.3 in its entirety and
substituting in lieu thereof the following:
“Section 6.3. Ratio of Nonperforming Assets to Total Loans and OREO.
The Borrower on a consolidated basis will not permit at the end of each Fiscal

(f) The Credit Agreement is further amended by deleting Section 7.1(j) in its entirety and
substituting in lieu thereof the following:

amount of the debt guarantee limit pursuant to 12 C.F.R. Section 370.3(b) of each
Financial Institution Subsidiary that is participating in the FDIC Guarantee Program, so long
as, in each case: (v) such Indebtedness qualifies as “FDIC-guaranteed debt” pursuant

disqualified pursuant to 12 C.F.R. Section 370.2(i), (x) such Indebtedness has been
guaranteed by the FDIC pursuant to the FDIC Guarantee Program, (y) the maturity date
