Section 4. Dividends and Repurchases.

(a) Quarterly Dividend. Holders of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends, payable when and as declared by the Board of Directors, but only out of assets legally available therefore, at an annual rate of 10% on the Purchase Price Per Share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or similar recapitalization or the like) (the “Series B Quarterly Dividends”). Holders of Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive cumulative cash dividends payable when and as declared by the Board of Directors, but only out of assets legally available therefore, at an annual rate of 10% on the Purchase Price Per Share (subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination or similar recapitalization or the like) (the “Series B-1 Quarterly Dividends” and, together with the Series B Quarterly Dividends, the “Quarterly Dividends”). Quarterly Dividends are cumulative and shall accrue on each share of Combined Preferred Stock (and the amount of any accrued and unpaid cash dividends for any prior Dividend Period on such share of Combined Preferred Stock, if any) during each Dividend Period, whether or not declared and shall compound on each subsequent Dividend Payment Date (i.e. no dividends shall accrue on other dividends unless and until the first Dividend Payment Date for such other dividends has passed without such other dividends having been paid on such date). Subject to the foregoing, Quarterly Dividends shall be payable in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”), commencing as of April 15, 2009 (the “First Dividend Payment Date”). If a Dividend Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the Quarterly Dividends shall be paid on the next Business Day as if it were paid on the Dividend Payment Date, and no interest or other amount shall accrue on the dividend so payable for the period from and after that Dividend Payment Date to the date the dividend is paid. If (i) the Shareholder Approval Date has occurred, and (ii) accrued Quarterly Dividends (including, if applicable dividends on such amount) on each share of Combined Preferred Stock are not declared and paid by the Board of Directors for four or more consecutive Dividend Payment Dates, then each Holder has the right to elect that such accrued and unpaid dividends be payable in shares of Common Stock equivalent in number to the amount of shares the accrued and unpaid cash dividends could purchase on the applicable Dividend Payment Date based on the Closing Price; provided, however, that cash may be issued solely in lieu of fractional shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any date on or after January 15, 2010 through June 30, 2010, if (i) all accrued Quarterly Dividends (including, if applicable, dividends on such amount) on the Combined Preferred Stock are paid in full as of such date, (ii) the Current Market Price Condition has been satisfied as of such date, and (iii) the Conversion Approvals have been received, then the Company has the option to declare and fully pay Quarterly Dividends on the Combined Preferred Stock that would otherwise accrue on the Combined Preferred Stock through June 30, 2010 (the “Prepaid Dividends”), and if the Company declares and pays in full the Prepaid Dividends, then Quarterly Dividends shall cease to accrue on the Combined Preferred Stock from the payment date of the Prepaid Dividends through June 30, 2010.

(b) Record Date. Quarterly Dividends declared by the Board of Directors shall be payable to the Holders of record, as applicable, as they appear on the Company’s stock register at the close of business on the first day of the month in which the relevant Dividend Payment Date occurs (the “Record Date”). The Record Date shall apply regardless of whether any particular Record Date is a Business Day.

(d) Cumulative Dividends. Subject to Section 4(g) and the last sentence of Section 4(a), dividends on the Combined Preferred Stock shall be cumulative; in the event and to the extent that the Company fail to pay the Quarterly Dividends on the Combined Preferred Stock (and regardless whether the Board of Directors shall have declared such dividends), the amount of the unpaid dividends shall cumulate in successive periods, until paid in full.

(e) Actions Allowed. If Quarterly Dividends on all outstanding shares of the Combined Preferred Stock for all past Dividend Periods, including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 4(a) dividends on such amount) have not been authorized, declared, and paid or set aside for payment or, if applicable, pre-paid through June 30, 2010 as described in Section 4(a), the Company shall not declare or pay dividends with respect to, or redeem purchase or acquire any Parity Securities or Junior Securities during the next succeeding Dividend Period, other than:

(i) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any shareholders’ rights plan, including with respect to the Series A Junior Preferred Stock or any successor shareholders’ rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any shareholders’ rights plan,

(ii) redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of Junior Securities or Parity Securities in connection with any benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants or in connection with a dividend reinvestment or shareholder stock purchase plan, or

(iii) conversions into or exchanges for other Junior Securities or Parity Securities and cash solely in lieu of fractional shares of the Junior Securities or Parity Securities.

If accrued Quarterly Dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 4(a) dividends on such amount) for any Dividend Payment Date are not paid in full on the outstanding shares of the Combined Preferred Stock and there are issued and outstanding shares of Parity Securities then all dividends declared on shares of the Combined Preferred Stock and such Parity Securities shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such dividends shall bear the same ratio to each other as all accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of the Combined Preferred Stock (including, if applicable as provided in Section 4(a) above, dividends on such amount) and on all such Parity Securities otherwise payable (subject to their having been authorized by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and including, in the case of any such Parity Securities that bear cumulative dividends, all accrued but unpaid dividends) bear to each other.

(f) Dividend Preference. If all accrued Quarterly Dividends (including, if applicable, dividends on such amount) on the Combined Preferred Stock are paid in full as of such date, then the Board of Directors may declare and pay a cash dividend in respect of any shares of Common Stock, as long as the Board of Directors shall declare and pay to the Holders of the Combined Preferred Stock a cash dividend in an amount per share of Combined Preferred Stock equal to the product of (i) the per share dividend declared and paid in respect of each share of Common Stock and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Combined Preferred Stock would then be convertible, assuming receipt of Conversion Approvals. Dividends payable to the Holders pursuant to this Section 4(f) shall be payable on the same date that dividends are payable to holders of shares of Common Stock, and no dividends shall be payable to holders of shares of Common Stock unless the full dividends contemplated by this Section 4(f) are paid at the same time in respect of the Combined Preferred Stock.

(g) Dividend Cessation. If, by June 30, 2010, any Holder has not received from the Federal Reserve System any required approvals for conversion of the Combined Preferred Stock to Common Stock and all other conditions for the conversion of the Combined Preferred Stock into Common Stock have been met, then additional Quarterly Dividends shall cease to accrue on the Combined Preferred Stock; provided, however, that the Combined Preferred Stock would otherwise continue to be convertible under the terms of this Certificate of Determination.

Section 5. Liquidation.

(a) Liquidation Preference. In the event the Company voluntarily or involuntarily liquidates, dissolves or winds up, subject to the rights of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Holders at the time shall be entitled to receive liquidating distributions in the amount of the Triple Liquidation Preference per share of Combined Preferred Stock, out of assets legally available for distribution to the Company’s shareholders, before any distribution of assets is made to the holders of the Common Stock or any other Junior Securities. Subject to the California General Corporation Law and other applicable law, after payment of the full amount of such liquidating distributions, Holders of the Combined Preferred Stock shall be entitled to participate in any further distribution of the remaining assets of the Company as if each share of Combined Preferred Stock had been converted, immediately prior to such liquidating distributions, into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference divided by the Applicable Conversion Price.

(b) Insufficient Assets or Proceeds to Pay the Liquidation Preference. In the event the assets of the Company, or proceeds thereof, available for distribution to shareholders upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be insufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of the Combined Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on any Parity Securities, Holders of Combined Preferred Stock and the holders of such Parity Securities shall share ratably in any distribution of assets of the Company in proportion to the full respective liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

(c) Transactions not Deemed a Liquidation. The Company’s consolidation or merger with or into any other entity, the consolidation or merger of any other entity with or into the Company, or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s property or business will not constitute its liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

Section 6. Maturity. The Combined Preferred Stock shall be perpetual unless converted in accordance with this Certificate of Determination.

Section 7. Redemptions. The Combined Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable either at the Company’s option or at the option of the Holders at any time.

Section 8. Conversion.

(a) General. The Series B Preferred Stock partially or fully converts into Common Stock as described in this Section 8. The Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall either partially or fully convert into Common Stock as described in this Section 8.

The number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Combined Preferred Stock shall potentially be convertible (subject to any limitations set forth in this Section 8) shall be determined by dividing (a) the Liquidation Preference by (b) the Applicable Conversion Price, plus any cash paid in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 13.

The conversion procedures are set forth in Section 9.

(b) Holder Optional Conversion. After the first to occur of a Shareholder Approval Date or a Shareholder Disapproval Date, then as of the first Business Day following such date, each Series B Holder has the sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to elect to convert any of its shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the conversion rate set forth in Section 8(a), provided that the maximum number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock that the Holder may elect to convert at any time pursuant to this Section 8(b) is limited to the maximum number of such shares that may be converted without violating the Conversion Cap Condition or causing a Violation to occur and the remaining shares of Series B Preferred Stock will remain outstanding. After a Full Conversion Date occurs, then as of the first Business Day following such date, each Series B-1 Holder has the sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to elect to convert any of its shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the conversion rate set forth in Section 8(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the elections described in this Section 8(b) expire upon the full mandatory conversion of the Combined Preferred Stock under Sections 8(c) or 8(d).

(c) Full Conversion. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 8, if the Full Conversion Date occurs, then as of the first Business Day following the later of the (i) Full Conversion Date or (ii) June 30, 2010 (such later date described in subparagraphs (i) and (ii) hereof is referred to as the “First Full Conversion Date”), each share of Series B Preferred Stock and Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the conversion rate set forth in Section 8(a); provided, however, that if the Current Market Price Condition has not been satisfied as of the First Full Conversion Date, then each share of Series B Preferred Stock and Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall remain outstanding and a new full conversion date shall be scheduled to the date that is 6 months thereafter, and will continue to be scheduled in 6-month intervals until the Current Market Price Condition is satisfied as of the earliest succeeding 6-month date, at which date, each share of Series B Preferred Stock and Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the conversion rate set forth in Section 8(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, in the event of Shareholder Disapproval, there shall be no conversion of shares of Combined Preferred Stock into shares Common Stock unless so elected by the Holder thereof pursuant to Section 8(b).

(d) Company Optional Full Conversion. During any 6-month conversion period subsequent to the First Full Conversion Date as described in Section 8(c), if the Current Market Price Condition is satisfied on any date during such period, then the Company has the option to convert each share of Series B Preferred Stock and Series B-1 Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the conversion rate set forth in Section 8(a) as long as all accrued Quarterly Dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 4(a) above, dividends on such amount) are paid prior to conversion and the Board of Directors declares and fully pays Quarterly Dividends that would have accrued though the date of conversion. In addition, at any date on or after January 15, 2010 through June 30, 2010, if (i) the Full Conversion Date has occurred, (ii) all accrued Quarterly Dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 4(a) above, dividends on such amount) have been paid in full on the Combined Preferred Stock, (iii) the Current Market Price Condition has been satisfied as of such date, and (iv) the Company declares and fully pays Quarterly Dividends that would have accrued through the date of conversion, then the Company has the option to convert each share of Series B Preferred Stock and Series B-1 Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock at the conversion rate set forth in Section 8(a).

Section 9. Conversion Procedures.

(a) Conversion Notice. Upon occurrence of a Shareholder Disapproval Date, a Shareholder Approval Date, a Full Conversion Date or another conversion date described in Section 8 with respect to shares of any Holder, the Company shall provide notice of conversion election rights or full conversion to such Holder. In addition to any information required by applicable law or regulation, such notice with respect to such Holder shall state, as appropriate:

(i) the conversion date applicable to such Holder;

(ii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of each share of Combined Preferred Stock held of record by such Holder and subject to such mandatory conversion;

(iii) if the Holder has the election right described in Section 8(b), information about how the Holder shall give written notice to the Company about electing to convert the shares of Combined Preferred Stock into Common Stock; and

(iv) the place or places where certificates for shares of Combined Preferred Stock held of record by such Holder are to be surrendered for issuance of certificates representing shares of Common Stock.

(b) Optional Conversion. If a Holder has the election right described in Section 8(b), at any time and from time to time, such Holder may give written notice to the Company that such Holder elects to convert any of its shares of the Combined Preferred Stock into Common Stock and, after receiving any applicable information required by applicable law or regulation, the Company shall as soon as practicable thereafter issue and deliver a certificate for such shares of Common Stock as the Holder is entitled.

(c) Pro Rata Conversion. In the event that a Full Conversion Date occurs and some, but not all, of the Conversion Approvals applicable to a particular Holder are obtained, such that the Full Conversion Date shall have occurred with respect to some, but not all, of the shares of Combined Preferred Stock held by such Holder, such Holder shall be entitled to select the shares to be surrendered pursuant to this Section 9 such that, after such surrender, the Holder no longer holds shares of Combined Preferred Stock as to which the Full Conversion Date shall have occurred. In the event that such Holder fails to surrender the required number of shares pursuant to this Section 9 within 30 days after delivery of the conversion notice, the Company shall, by written notice to such Holder, indicate which shares have been converted pursuant to Section 8.

(d) Effect of Conversion on Combined Preferred Stock. Effective immediately prior to the close of business on a conversion date with respect any share of Combined Preferred Stock into Common Stock, dividends shall no longer be declared on any such converted share of Combined Preferred Stock and such share of Combined Preferred Stock shall cease to be outstanding, in each case, subject to the right of the Holder to receive any declared and unpaid dividends on such share and any other payments to which such Holder is otherwise entitled pursuant to Section 8, Section 11 or Section 13, as applicable. Prior to the close of business on any conversion date with respect to any share of Combined Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, or other securities issuable upon conversion of such share of Combined Preferred Stock, shall not be deemed outstanding for any purpose, and the Holder thereof shall have no rights with respect to the Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion (including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers for the Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion) by virtue of holding such share of Combined Preferred Stock except as otherwise provided herein.

(e) Status of Converted Stock. Shares of Combined Preferred Stock duly converted in accordance with this Certificate of Determination, or otherwise reacquired by the Company, will resume the status of authorized and unissued Combined Preferred Stock, undesignated and, after all shares of Combined Preferred Stock have been converted in full into Common Stock, available for future issuance. The Company may from time-to-time take such appropriate action as may be necessary to reduce the authorized number of shares of Combined Preferred Stock.

(f) Treatment of Record Holder. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock and/or cash, securities or other property issuable upon conversion of Combined Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holders of such shares of Common Stock and/or securities as of the close of business on the applicable conversion date with respect thereto. In the event that a Holder shall not by written notice designate the name in which shares of Common Stock and/or cash, securities or other property (including payments of cash in lieu of fractional shares) to be issued or paid upon conversion of shares of Combined Preferred Stock should be registered or paid or the manner in which such shares should be delivered, the Company shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares, and make such payment, in the name of the Holder and in the manner shown on the records of the Company.

(g) Surrender of Certificates. On any Combined Preferred Stock conversion date, certificates representing shares of Common Stock shall be issued and delivered, or evidence of book-entry record ownership of the Common Stock delivered, to the Holder thereof or such Holder’s designee upon presentation and surrender of the certificate evidencing the Combined Preferred Stock to the Company and, if required, the furnishing of appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the payment of all transfer and similar taxes.

Section 10. Adjustments to Conversion Price for Dilutive Issuances.

(a) Except as provided in Section 10(c), the Conversion Price is subject to the following adjustments.

(i) Common Stock Dividends and Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date issues, or fixes a record date for determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive, a dividend or other distribution payable in additional shares of Common Stock, then in each such event the Conversion Price will be reduced, concurrently with such issuance or, in the event such record date is fixed, as of the close of business on such record date, to a price equal to such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such reduction multiplying by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date; and

(B) the denominator of which equals (1) the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the time of such issuance or the close of business on such record date plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable in payment of such dividend or distribution.

In the event that such dividend or distribution described in this clause (i) is not paid in full or made in full, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the close of business on such record date and thereafter the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this clause (i) to reflect the actual payment of such dividend or distribution.

(ii) Subdivisions, Combinations or Consolidations of the Common Stock. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date subdivides, splits or combines the shares of Common Stock, then in each such event the Conversion Price will be adjusted, concurrently with such subdivision, split or combination, to a price equal to such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision, split or combination multiplied by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such subdivision, split or combination; and

(B) the denominator of which equals the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the opening of business on the effective date of such subdivision, split or combination.

For the purposes of this clause (ii), the number of shares of Common Stock at the time outstanding shall not include shares acquired by the Company. If any subdivision, split or combination described in this clause (ii) is announced but the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not subdivided, split or combined, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to subdivide, split or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, to such Conversion Price that would be in effect if such subdivision, split or combination had not been announced.

(iii) Issuance of Common Stock and Common Stock Equivalents. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date issues any share of Common Stock or any Common Stock Equivalent for no consideration or at a Per Share Price less than the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such issuance (a “Dilutive Issuance”), then in each such event the Conversion Price will be reduced, concurrently with such Dilutive Issuance, to a price equal to such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance multiplied by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which is equal to (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Company in connection with such Dilutive Issuance would purchase at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance; and

(B) the denominator of which is equal to (1) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Dilutive Issuance plus (2) the number of shares of Common Stock issued in connection with such Dilutive Issuance, if any, plus (3) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon full exercise or conversion of the Common Stock Equivalents (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) issued in connection with such Dilutive Issuance, if any.

(iv) Debt or Asset Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date distributes to holders of its Common Stock shares of its capital stock (other than shares of Common Stock and other than as otherwise subject to adjustment pursuant to this Section 10), stock or other securities of other persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Company or other persons, assets (excluding cash dividends) or options or rights (excluding Common Stock Equivalents), or shall fix a record date for determination of holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such a distribution, in exchange for consideration in an amount less than the fair market value of the property so distributed, then in each such event the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such distribution will be reduced, concurrently with such distribution, to a price equal to such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such distribution multiplied by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which is equal to (1) the fair market value per share of Common Stock on such date minus (2) the fair market value of the portion of the distribution applicable to one share of Common Stock on such date as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors; and

(B) the denominator of which is equal to the fair market value per share of Common Stock on such date.

In the event that such distribution described in this clause (iv) is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to pay or make such distribution, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

(v) Cash Distributions. In the event the Company at any time or from time to time after the Effective Date makes a distribution consisting exclusively of cash to all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (1) any cash dividend on the Common Stock to the extent a corresponding cash dividend is paid on the Combined Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 4(f), (2) any cash that is distributed in a Reorganization Event or as part of a Spin-Off, (3) any dividend or distribution in connection with the Company’s liquidation, dissolution or winding up, and (4) any consideration payable in connection with a tender or exchange offer made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, then in each such event the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such distribution will be reduced, concurrently with such distribution, to a price equal to such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such distribution multiplied by a fraction:

(A) the numerator of which is equal to (1) the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such distribution minus (2) the amount per share of Common Stock of the distribution; and

(B) the denominator of which is equal to the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding such distribution.

In the event that such distribution described in this clause (v) is not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to pay or make such distribution, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared.

(vi) Self Tender Offers and Exchange Offers. In the event that at any time or from time to time the Company or any of its subsidiaries successfully completes a tender or exchange offer for Common Stock, but only where the cash and the value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer, then the Conversion Price in effect at the close of business on such immediately succeeding Trading Day will be multiplied by the following fraction:

(A) the numerator of which is equal to (1) the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer multiplied by (2) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration of the tender or exchange offer (including any shares validly tendered and not withdrawn); and

(B) the denominator of which is equal to (1) the aggregate cash and fair market value of the other consideration payable in the tender or exchange offer, as determined by the Board of Directors, plus (2) the product of that number which is equal to (i) the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the expiration of the tender or exchange offer.

If the Company, or one of its subsidiaries, is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company, or such subsidiary, is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to be such Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made.

(vii) Rights Plans. To the extent that the Company has a rights plan in effect with respect to the Common Stock upon any conversion date with respect to the conversion of Combined Preferred Stock into Common Stock described in Section 8, then upon any such conversion of shares of the Combined Preferred Stock into Common Stock, the Holders will receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock, the rights under the rights plan; provided, however, that if the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock before the applicable conversion date, then the Conversion Price will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company had made a distribution to all holders of the Common Stock as described in clause (iii) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.

(b) The Company may make such decreases in the Conversion Price, in addition to any other decreases required by this Section 10, if the Board of Directors deems it advisable to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of the Common Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or issuance of rights or warrants to acquire shares of Common Stock) or from any event treated as such for income tax purposes or for any other reason.

(c) (i) All adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10 of a cent. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required if such adjustment would be less than $0.01; provided, that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided further that upon any conversion of Combined Preferred Stock to Common Stock pursuant to Section 8(b), 8(c) or 8(e), adjustments to the Conversion Price will be made with respect to any such adjustment carried forward and which has not been taken into account before such date.

(ii) The Applicable Conversion Price shall not be adjusted:

(A) upon the issuance of any Series C Preferred Stock and related warrants to the U.S. Treasury or its designee pursuant to the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act or any shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise of such warrants;

(B) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

(C) upon the issuance of up to 426,984 shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries;

(D) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the Effective Date;

(E) for a change in the par value or no par value of Common Stock;

(F) for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Combined Preferred Stock;

(G) upon the payment of any dividend on the Combined Preferred Stock, whether in the form of cash or shares of Common Stock;

(H) upon the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion of any of the Combined Preferred Stock into Common Stock; or

(I) upon the issuance of securities pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement.

(d) Whenever the Conversion Price is to be adjusted in accordance with Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), the Company shall: (i) compute the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), taking into account the one cent threshold set forth in Section 10(c)(i); (ii) as soon as practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), taking into account the one cent threshold set forth in Section 10(c) (or if the Company is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware), provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event; and (iii) as soon as practicable following the determination of the revised Conversion Price in accordance with Section 10(a) or Section 10(b), provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders setting forth in reasonable detail the method by which the adjustment to the Conversion Price was determined and setting forth the revised Conversion Price.

Section 11. Reorganization Events.

(a) Reorganization Events. In the event of:

(i) any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into another Person, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person;

(ii) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property of the Company or another Person;

(iii) any reclassification of the Common Stock into securities including securities other than the Common Stock; or

(iv) any statutory exchange of the outstanding shares of Common Stock for securities of another Person (other than in connection with a merger or acquisition);

(any such event specified in this Section 11(a), a “Reorganization Event”); each share of Combined Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall, without the consent of Holders, remain outstanding but shall become convertible, at the option of the Holders, into the kind of securities, cash and other property receivable in such Reorganization Event by the holder (excluding the counterparty to the Reorganization Event or an affiliate of such counterparty) of that number of shares of Common Stock into which the share of Combined Preferred Stock would then be convertible (and assuming for purposes of this calculation, the receipt on the date such option is exercised of all Conversion Approvals) (such securities, cash and other property, the “Exchange Property”); provided, however, that if the Reorganization Event provides that each share of Common Stock shall receive Exchange Consideration in an amount such that each share of Combined Preferred Stock would convert into, or receive consideration, that in the aggregate would be less than the Purchase Price Per Share, then notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, each share of Combined Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive that amount of securities, cash and other property receivable in such Reorganization Event by the holder (excluding the counterparty to the Reorganization Event or an affiliate of such counterparty) of that number of shares of Common Stock that will receive consideration equivalent to the Liquidation Preference.

(b) Reorganization Event Consideration. In the event that holders of the shares of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in such transaction, the consideration that the Holders are entitled to receive shall be deemed to be the types and amounts of consideration received by the majority of the holders of the shares of Common Stock that affirmatively make an election. The amount of Exchange Property receivable upon conversion of any Combined Preferred Stock shall be determined in accordance with the terms of Section 8 based on the Applicable Conversion Price in effect on the date immediately prior to such Reorganization Event; provided, however, that if the Reorganization Event provides that each share of Common Stock shall receive consideration in an amount such that each share of Combined Preferred Stock, would convert into, or receive consideration, that in the aggregate would be less than the Purchase Price Per Share, then notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, each share of Combined Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive that amount of securities, cash and other property receivable in such Reorganization Event by the holder (excluding the counterparty to the Reorganization Event or an affiliate of such counterparty) of that number of shares of Common Stock that will receive consideration equivalent to the Liquidation Preference.

(c) Successive Reorganization Events. The above provisions of this Section 11 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events and the provisions of Section 10 shall apply to any shares of capital stock of the Company (or any successor) received by the holders of the Common Stock in any such Reorganization Event.

(d) Reorganization Notice. The Company (or any successor) shall, within 20 days of the occurrence of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such occurrence of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitutes the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 11.

(e) Fundamental Change. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11 or otherwise in this Certificate of Determination, in the event of any Fundamental Change that results from or in an agreement with any Person that constitutes a Fundamental Change and pursuant to which the Common Stock will be converted into or becomes entitled to receive cash, securities or other property or rights, such agreement must provide that either (i) the Series B Holders and the Series B-1 Holders shall receive, on an as-converted basis, effective immediately prior to the event constituting consummation of such Fundamental Change so as to be entitled to participate therein, the securities, cash and other property or rights receivable in such transaction by a holder of shares of Common Stock that was not the counterparty to such transaction or an affiliate of such other party or (ii) that each share of Series B and Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall be converted into the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Liquidation Preference divided by the Applicable Conversion Price.

Section 12. Voting Rights.

(a) Series B Preferred Stock. Series B Holders will not have any voting rights, including the right to elect any directors, except (i) voting rights, if any, required by law, and (ii) voting rights, if any, described in Section 2 and this Section 12; provided, however, that each Series B Holder will be entitled to voting rights as described in this Section 12(a). Upon the first to occur of a Shareholder Disapproval Date or a Shareholder Approval Date, (i) if all Regulatory Approvals have not been received, then as of the first Business Day following such date, each Series B Holder will thereafter be entitled to 2 and 1/2 votes for each share of Series B Preferred Stock held as of the applicable date, or (ii) if all Regulatory Approvals have been received, then as of the first Business Day following such date (or if the Regulatory Approvals are received after the Shareholder Disapproval Date or Shareholder Approval Date, then on the first Business Day following the date such Regulatory Approvals are received), each Series B Holder will thereafter be entitled to 10 votes for each share of Series B Preferred Stock held as of the applicable date, on any matter that is submitted to a vote or for the consent of the shareholders of the Company, and, except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock, shall be entitled to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company and shall be entitled to vote with the holders of Common Stock with respect to any matter upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote, except as otherwise provided herein or those matters required by law to be submitted to a class vote.

(b) Series B-1 Preferred Stock. Series B-1 Holders will not have any voting rights, including the right to elect any directors, except (i) voting rights, if any, required by law, and (ii) voting rights, if any, described in Section 2 and this Section 12; provided, however, that upon the Full Conversion Date, then as of the first Business Day following such date, each Series B-1 Holder will thereafter be entitled to ten votes for each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock held as of the applicable date on any matter that is submitted to a vote or for the consent of the shareholders of the Company, and, except as otherwise required by law or as set forth herein, shall have voting rights and powers equal to the voting rights and powers of the Common Stock, shall be entitled to notice of any shareholders’ meeting in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company and shall be entitled to vote with the holders of Common Stock with respect to any matter upon which holders of Common Stock have the right to vote, except as otherwise provided herein or those matters required by law to be submitted to a class vote.

(c) Protective Provisions. So long as any shares of Combined Preferred Stock are outstanding, the vote or consent of the holders of a majority of the voting power represented by the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock and Series B-1 Preferred Stock, voting as a single class with all other classes and series of Parity Securities having similar voting rights then outstanding and with each series or class having a number of votes proportionate to the aggregate Liquidation Preference of the outstanding shares of such class or series, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, will be necessary for effecting or validating any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Articles of Incorporation (including this Certificate of Determination) that would increase or decrease the aggregate authorized shares of Series B or Series B-1 Preferred Stock or any Parity Security, increase or decrease the par value of the Series B or Series B-1 Preferred Stock or any Parity Security or alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series B or Series B-1 Preferred Stock or any Parity Security so as to affect them adversely. If an amendment, alteration or repeal described above would adversely affect one or more but not all series of Combined Preferred Stock with like voting rights (including the Series B or Series B-1 Preferred Stock for this purpose), then only the series affected and entitled to vote shall vote as a class in lieu of all such series of preferred stock unless the vote of the other series of preferred stock is required by law.

(d) Combined Preferred Stock Conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holders shall not have any voting rights if, at or prior to the effective time of the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required, all outstanding shares of Combined Preferred Stock shall have been converted into shares of Common Stock.

Section 13. Fractional Shares.

(a) No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of any conversion of shares of Combined Preferred Stock.

(b) In lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of any mandatory conversion pursuant to Section 8, the Company shall pay an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) upon conversion to Common Stock equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price of the Common Stock determined as of the second Trading Day immediately preceding the conversion date.

(c) If more than one share of Combined Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at one time by or for the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Combined Preferred Stock so surrendered.

Section 14. Reservation of Common Stock.

(a) Common Stock Issuable on Conversion of Combined Preferred Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock as provided in this Certificate of Determination, free from any preemptive or other similar rights, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, assuming that the Applicable Conversion Price equaled the Stated Price Per Share. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock solely for issuance upon the conversion of shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock as provided in this Certificate of Determination, free from any preemptive or other similar rights, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all the shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock then outstanding, assuming that the Applicable Conversion Price equaled the Stated Price Per Share. For purposes of this Section 14(b), the number of shares of Common Stock that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Combined Preferred Stock shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single Holder. The Company shall not issue capital stock at a price that would require the Conversion Price of the Combined Preferred Stock to be reduced (pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 hereof) to a price that would require the Company to issue shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of the Combined Preferred Stock in excess of the then authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock.

(b) Authorization. All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Combined Preferred Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests and other encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by the Holders).

(c) Compliance with Law. Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Company shall be obligated to deliver upon conversion of the Combined Preferred Stock, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all federal and state laws and regulations with respect to each Holder thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority.

Section 15. Replacement Certificates.

(a) The Company shall replace any mutilated stock certificate at the Holder’s expense upon surrender of that stock certificate to the Company. The Company shall replace stock certificates that become destroyed, stolen or lost at the Holder’s expense upon delivery to the Company of satisfactory evidence that the stock certificate has been destroyed, stolen or lost, together with any indemnity that may be required by the Company.

(b) The Company shall not be required to issue any stock certificates representing the Combined Preferred Stock one business days following the full conversion of the Combined Preferred Stock into Common Stock as provided in Section 8(c) or 8(d). In place of the delivery of a replacement certificate following such date, the Company, upon delivery of the evidence and indemnity described in clause (a) above, shall deliver the shares of Common Stock (or evidence of book-entry record ownership of such Common Stock) pursuant to the terms of the Combined Preferred Stock formerly evidenced by the certificate.

Section 16. No Impairment. The Company shall not amend its Articles of Incorporation or participate in any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action for the purpose of avoiding or seeking to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Combined Preferred Stock against dilution or other impairment as provided herein.

Section 17. Form and Transfer Restrictions.

(a) Form. Certificates representing the Series B and Series B-1 Preferred Stock (each a “Preferred Certificate”), shall be issued to Holders at their request. Each Preferred Certificate shall include a reference incorporating the terms of this Certificate of Determination. In addition, the Preferred Certificates may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rules, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage (provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form acceptable to the Company).

(b) Transfer Restriction. The Combined Preferred Stock may only be transferred (i) to an affiliate of the initial investor or an affiliate of the Company, (ii) in a widespread public distribution, (ii) in transfers in which no transferee would receive 2% or more of the class or (iv) to a transferee that would control more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company without any transfer from the original investor. The Series B Preferred Stock will be subject to these transfer restrictions until the first to occur of a Shareholder Approval Date or a Shareholder Disapproval Date. The Series B-1 Preferred Stock will be subject to these transfer restrictions until a Full Conversion Date.

Section 18. Miscellaneous.

(a) All notices referred to herein shall be in writing, and, unless otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt thereof or three Business Days after the mailing thereof if sent by registered or certified mail (unless first-class mail shall be specifically permitted for such notice under the terms of this Certificate of Determination) with postage prepaid, addressed: (i) if to the Company, to its office at 55 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Attention: Chief Financial Officer, or (ii) if to a Holder, to the address or facsimile number appearing on the Company’s shareholder records or such other address or facsimile number as such Holder may provide to the Company in accordance with this Section 18.

(b) The Company shall pay any and all stock transfer and documentary stamp taxes that may be payable in respect of any issuance or delivery of shares of Combined Preferred Stock or shares of Common Stock or other securities issued on account of Combined Preferred Stock pursuant hereto or certificates representing such shares or securities. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any such tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance or delivery of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, Series B-1 Preferred Stock or Common Stock or other securities in a name other than that in which the shares of Combined Preferred Stock with respect to which such shares or other securities are issued or delivered were registered, or in respect of any payment to any Person other than a payment to the registered holder thereof, and shall not be required to make any such issuance, delivery or payment unless and until the Person otherwise entitled to such issuance, delivery or payment has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been paid or is not payable.

4. We further declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of California that the matters set forth in this certificate are true and correct of our own knowledge.

This letter will confirm our agreement that pursuant to and effective as your purchase of 300,000 shares of convertible preferred stock of Bridge Capital Holdings (the “Company”), Xxxxxxxxx Fund Manager GP, LLC (“Xxxxxxxxx”), acting on behalf of each of the Xxxxxxxxx Community BancFund, L.P., Xxxxxxxxx Community BancFund-A, L.P., and the Xxxxxxxxx Community BancFund-CA, L.P. (collectively, the “Investors”), shall be entitled to the following contractual management rights, in addition to any rights to non-public financial information, inspection rights and other rights specifically provided to all investors in the current financing if Xxxxxxxxx is not represented on the Company’s Board of Directors in its capacity as general partner of the Investors:

1. Xxxxxxxxx shall be entitled to consult with and advise management of the Company on significant business issues, including management’s proposed annual operating plans, and management will meet with the Investors regularly during each year at the Company’s facilities at mutually agreeable times for such consultation and advice and to review progress in achieving said plans.

2. Xxxxxxxxx may examine the books and records of the Company and inspect its facilities and may request information at reasonable times and intervals concerning the general status of the Company’s financial condition and operations, provided that access to trade secrets need not be provided.

3. If Xxxxxxxxx is not represented on the Company’s Board of Directors in its capacity as general partner of the Investors, the Company shall make available to a representative of Xxxxxxxxx copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other material that the Company provides to its directors, except that the representative may be excluded from access to any material or meeting or portion thereof if the Company believes, upon advice of counsel, that such exclusion is reasonably necessary to preserve the attorney-client privilege, to protect trade secrets, or to comply with applicable law or regulation regarding the confidentiality of the contents of reports of examination prepared by the Federal Reserve Board or the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, or for other similar reasons. Upon reasonable notice and at a scheduled meeting of the Board of Directors or such other time, if any, as the Board of Directors may determine in its sole discretion, such representative may address the Board of Directors with respect to Xxxxxxxxx’x concerns regarding significant business issues facing the Company.

Xxxxxxxxx agrees, and any representative of Xxxxxxxxx will agree, to hold in confidence and trust and not disclose any confidential information provided to or learned by it in connection with its rights under this letter.

The rights described herein shall terminate and be of no further force or effect when the Investors no longer hold securities representing more than 5% of the outstanding common stock of the Company or any successor organization (counting as shares owned by the Investors all shares into which the convertible preferred shares are convertible and assuming to the extent Investors shall purchase any additional shares of common stock, any later such additional purchases shall be deemed to be shares for purposes of determining the outstanding percentage). The confidentiality provisions hereof will survive any such termination.

Very truly yours,

Section 2. REGISTRATION RIGHTS

2.1. Shelf Registration.

(a) Filing. Subject to Section 2.1(c), on or before the 45th day following a request by one or more holders of Registrable Securities, file with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the requested Registrable Securities by the holders thereof from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such holders and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act.

(b) Continued Effectiveness. Subject to Section 2.1(c), the Issuer shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective in order to permit the Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by the holders until the earlier of (i) the termination of this Agreement or (ii) the date when all of the Registerable Securities thereunder have been sold or are no longer Registerable Securities. The Issuer shall not be deemed to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective if the Issuer voluntarily takes any action or omits to take any action that would result in the inability of any holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be able to offer and sell any such Registrable Securities during the term of this Agreement, unless such action or omission is required by applicable law.

(c) Suspension of Registration. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of the Shelf Registration Statement at any time would require the Issuer to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Issuer may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, the Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be permitted to do so (A) more than one time during any six month period, (B) for a period exceeding 45 days on any one occasion or (C) for a period exceeding 90 days in any 12 month period. In the event the Issuer exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to the Shelf Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Issuer shall immediately notify the holders upon the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 2.1(c). The Issuer represents that it has no knowledge of any circumstance that would reasonably be expected to cause the Issuer to exercise its rights under this Section 2.1(c).

(d) Underwritten Offering. If the holders of not less than a majority of any class of Registrable Securities included in any offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement so elect, such offering shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering and the Issuer, if necessary, shall amend or supplement the Shelf Registration Statement for such purpose. The holders of a majority of the class of Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Offering shall, after consulting with the Issuer, have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters for the offering.

(e) Effect on Demand and Incidental Registration Obligation. The provisions of Section 2.2 shall not apply to a class of Registrable Securities at any time the Issuer has filed and is maintaining the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement for such class and is complying with its obligations under this Section 2.1 with respect to all Registrable Securities, but the provisions of Section 2.3 shall apply whether or not the Issuer has filed and is maintaining the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement.

2.2. Demand Registrations.

(a)

Demand by Holders

(1) At any time the holders of not less than 25 percent of any class of the Registrable Securities may make a written request to the Issuer for registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities held by such holders. Any such requested registration shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Demand Registration.” Each request for a Demand Registration shall specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended methods of disposition thereof.

(2) Within ten days following receipt of any request for a Demand Registration, the Issuer shall deliver written notice of such request to all other holders of Registrable Securities of the class or classes to be registered. Thereafter, the Issuer shall include in such Demand Registration any additional Registrable Securities of each such class which the holder or holders thereof have requested in writing be included in such Demand Registration, provided that all requests therefor have been received by the Issuer within ten days of the Issuer’s having sent the applicable notice to such holder or holders. All such requests shall specify the aggregate amount and class of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of distribution of the same. The Issuer may not include in such registration additional securities of the class or classes of the Registrable Securities to be registered hereunder, including securities to be sold for the Issuer’s own account or for the account of Persons who are not holders of Registrable Securities.

(3) As promptly as practicable (and, in any event, within 45 days) following receipt of a request for a Demand Registration, the Issuer shall file a Registration Statement relating to such Demand Registration and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act.

(b) Limitation on Demand Registrations. In no event shall the Issuer be required to effect more than two Demand Registrations, nor shall the Issuer be required to effect more than one Demand Registration in any six month period.

(c) Demand Withdrawal. A holder may withdraw its Registrable Securities from a Demand Registration at any time. If all such holders do so, the Issuer shall cease all efforts to secure registration and such registration nonetheless shall be deemed a Demand Registration for purposes of Section 2.2(b) unless the withdrawal is based on (i) the reasonable determination of the holders who requested such registration that there has been, since the date of such request, a material adverse change in the business or prospects of the Issuer or in general market conditions or (ii) the acts or omissions of the Issuer.

(d) Effective Registration. The Issuer shall be deemed to have effected a Demand Registration if the applicable Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and remains effective for not less than 180 days (or such shorter period as will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or withdrawn), or, if such Registration Statement relates to an Underwritten Offering, such longer period as, in the opinion of counsel for the underwriter or underwriters, is required by law for the delivery of a Prospectus in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities by an underwriter or dealer. No Demand Registration shall be deemed to have been effected if an Underwritten Offering is contemplated by such Demand Registration and the conditions to closing specified in the applicable underwriting agreement are not satisfied by reason of a wrongful act, misrepresentation or breach of such underwriting agreement or this Agreement by the Issuer.

(e) Suspension of Registration. If the filing, initial effectiveness or continued use of a Registration Statement in respect of a Demand Registration would result in an effective registration statement within 90 days of a underwritten offering by the Company of its equity securities for its own accounts or at any time would require the Issuer to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Issuer may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the holders, delay the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend use of, the such Registration Statement; provided however that such right to delay registration shall be exercised by the Issuer (A) only if the Issuer h generally exercised (or is concurrently exercising) similar black-out rights against holders of similar securities that have registration rights and (2) not more than three times during any 12-month period and not more than 90 days in the aggregate in any 12-month period. In the event the Issuer exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the holders agree to suspend, immediately upon their receipt of the notice referred to above, their use of the Prospectus relating to the Demand Registration in connection with any sale or offer to sell Registrable Securities. The Issuer shall immediately notify the holders of the expiration of any period during which it exercised its rights under this Section 2.2(e). The Issuer represents that it has no knowledge of any circumstance that would reasonably be expected to cause the Issuer to exercise its rights under this Section 2.2(e).

(f) Underwritten Offering. If the holders of not less than a majority of the Registrable Securities of any class which are included in any offering pursuant to a Demand Registration so elect, such offering shall be in the form of an Underwritten Offering. The holders of a majority of the class of Registrable Securities included in such Underwritten Offering shall, after consulting with the Issuer, have the right to select the managing underwriter or underwriters for the offering subject to the right of the Issuer to select one co-managing underwriter reasonably acceptable to such holders.

(g) Priority of Securities Registered Pursuant to Demand Registrations. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed Underwritten Offering of a class of Registrable Securities included in a Demand Registration (or, in the case of a Demand Registration not being underwritten, the holders of a majority of a class of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement), inform the holders of such Registrable Securities in writing that, in its or their opinion, the number of securities of such class requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the class of securities offered or the market for the class of securities offered, the number of Registrable Securities of such class that can be included without having such an adverse effect shall be allocated pro rata among the holders which have requested participation in the Demand Registration (based, for each such holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (i) the number of Registrable Securities of such class which such holder has requested to include in such Demand Registration by (ii) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities of such class which all such holders have requested to include). To the extent that any Registrable Securities requested to be registered are so excluded, the holders shall have the right to one additional Demand Registration under this Section 2.2.

(h) Registration Statement Form. Registrations under this Section 2.2 shall be on such appropriate registration form of the SEC (i) as shall be selected by the Issuer and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of each class of Registrable Securities requesting participation in the Demand Registration and (ii) as shall permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the applicable holders’ requests for such registration.

2.3. Incidental Registrations.

(a)

Participation

(1) If the Issuer at any time proposes to file a Registration Statement with respect to any offering of its securities for its own account or for the account of any holders of its securities (other than (A) a registration under Section 2.1 or 2.2 hereof, (B) a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such forms, or (C) a registration of securities solely relating to an offering and sale to employees or directors of the Issuer pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement, then, as soon as practicable (but in no event less than 20 days prior to the proposed date of filing such Registration Statement), the Issuer shall give written notice of such proposed filing to all holders of Registrable Securities, and such notice shall offer the holders of such Registrable Securities the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request in writing (an “Incidental Registration”). Subject to Section 2.3(b), the Issuer shall include in such Registration Statement all such Registrable Securities which are requested to be included therein within 20 days after the receipt by such holder of any such notice. If at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Issuer shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Issuer may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each holder of Registrable Securities and, (x) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration, and (y) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities.

(2) If the offering pursuant to an Incidental Registration is to be an Underwritten Offering, then each holder making a request for its Registrable Securities to be included therein must, and the Issuer shall make such arrangements with the underwriters so that each such holder may participate in such Underwritten Offering on the same terms as the Issuer and other Persons selling securities in such Underwritten Offering. If the offering pursuant to such registration is to be on any other basis, then each holder making a request for an Incidental Registration pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) must participate in such offering on such basis.

(3) Each holder of Registrable Securities shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of such holder’s Registrable Securities from an Incidental Registration at any time; provided however that, except in the case of a withdrawal pursuant to Section 2.6(b), the Issuer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the holder of such withdrawn Registrable Securities for any SEC registration fees incurred by the Issuer in connection with the registration of the Registrable Securities being withdrawn.

(b) Priority of Incidental Registration. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed Underwritten Offering of a class of securities included in an Incidental Registration (or in the case of an Incidental Registration not being underwritten, the Issuer) informs the holders of Registrable Securities of any class sought to be included in such registration in writing that, in its or their opinion, the total amount or kind of securities which such holders and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the class or classes of the securities offered or the market for the class or classes of securities offered or the Issuer’s common stock, then the securities of each class to be included in such registration shall be allocated as follows:

(1) first, 100% of the securities that the Issuer or (subject to Section 2.7) any Person (other than a holder of Registrable Securities) exercising a contractual right to demand registration has proposed to sell shall be included therein, if any;

(2) second, and only if all the securities referenced in clause (i) have been included, the number of Registrable Securities of such class, if any, that, in the opinion of such underwriter or underwriters (or in the case of an Incidental Registration not being underwritten, the Issuer), can be sold without having such adverse effect shall be included therein, with such number to be allocated pro rata among the holders which have requested participation in the Incidental Registration (based, for each such holder, on the percentage derived by dividing (x) the number of Registrable Securities of such class which such holder has requested to include in such Incidental Registration by (y) the aggregate number of Registrable Securities of such class which all such holders have requested to include); and

(3) third, and only if all of the Registrable Securities referenced in clauses (1) and (2) have been included, any other securities eligible for inclusion in such registration shall be included therein.

2.4. Black-out Periods

(a) Black-out Periods for Holders. In the event of a registration by the Issuer, the holders of Registrable Securities agree, if (i) requested by the Issuer (or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, by the managing underwriter or underwriters) and (ii) such holders are offered an opportunity to participate in such registration pursuant to Section 2.3(a) without any exclusion of holder securities pursuant to Section 2.3(b), not to effect any public sale or distribution (excluding any sale pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act) of any securities (except, in each case, as part of the applicable registration, if permitted) which securities are the same as or similar to those being registered in connection with such registration, or which are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the period beginning seven days before, and ending 90 days (or such lesser period as may be permitted by the Issuer or such managing underwriter or underwriters) after, the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, to the extent such holders are timely notified in writing by the Issuer or the managing underwriter or underwriters.

(b)

Black-out Period for the Issuer and Others.

(1) In the case of a registration of a class of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2 (involving the offering and sale of equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities), the Issuer agrees, if requested by the holders of a majority of such class of Registrable Securities to be sold pursuant to the such registration (or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, by the managing underwriter or underwriters in such Underwritten Offering), not to effect (or register for sale) any public sale or distribution of any securities which are the same as or similar to those being registered, or which are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the period beginning seven days before, and ending 90 days (or such lesser period as may be permitted by such holders or such underwriter or underwriters) after, the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration (or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering under the Shelf Registration, the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement in connection therewith), to the extent the Issuer is timely notified in writing by a holder of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or the managing underwriter or underwriters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may effect a public sale or distribution of securities of the type described above and during the periods described above if the same (A) is made pursuant to registrations on Forms S-4 or S-8 or any successor form to such forms, or (B) as part of any registration of securities for offering and sale to employees or directors of the Issuer pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement.

(2) The Issuer agrees to use all reasonable efforts to obtain from each holder of restricted securities of the Issuer which are the same as or similar to those being registered by the Issuer, or which are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of its securities, an agreement not to effect any public sale or distribution of such securities (other than securities purchased in a public offering) during any period referred to in this Section 2.4(b), except as part of any such registration if permitted. Without limiting the foregoing (but subject to Section 2.7), if after the date hereof the Issuer grants any Person (other than a holder of Registrable Securities or TARP Securities) any rights to demand or participate in a registration, the Issuer agrees that the agreement with respect thereto shall include such Person’s agreement as contemplated by the previous sentence.

2.5. Registration Procedures.

The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities and their respective officers, directors, advisors and agents and employees and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof, whether or not such indemnified party is a party thereto) and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses), joint or several (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”), arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein) or (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not be liable to any indemnified party in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in any such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer by such holder expressly for use in the preparation thereof. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Issuer may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such holder or any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such holder. The Issuer will also indemnify, if applicable and if requested, underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in any distribution pursuant hereto, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Indemnified Persons.

(b) Indemnification by the Holders. Each selling holder of Registrable Securities agrees (severally and not jointly) to indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, the Issuer, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Issuer (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses resulting from any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein), or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission had been contained in any information furnished in writing by such selling holder to the Issuer specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement. This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability such holder may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Issuer or any indemnified party. In no event shall the liability of any selling holder of Registrable Securities hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds received by such holder under the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation. The Issuer shall be entitled to receive indemnities from, if applicable and if requested, underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, to the same extent as provided above (with appropriate modification) with respect to information so furnished in writing by such Persons specifically for inclusion in any Prospectus or Registration Statement. Each holder also shall indemnify any underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Issuer.

(c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided, however, that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it is actually and materially prejudiced by reason of such delay or failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Person unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim within a reasonable time after having received notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person, based upon advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such Person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims or (D) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party (in which case, if the Person notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such Person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such Person). If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that an indemnifying party shall not be required to consent to any settlement involving the imposition of equitable remedies or involving the imposition of any material obligations on such indemnifying party other than financial obligations for which such indemnified party will be indemnified hereunder. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall have the right to settle such action without the consent of the indemnified party; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be required to obtain such consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) if the settlement includes any admission of wrongdoing on the part of the indemnified party or any restriction on the indemnified party or its officers or directors. No indemnifying party shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each indemnified party of an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. The indemnifying party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than one separate firm (together with one firm of local counsel) at any one time from all such indemnified party or parties unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or parties (y) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based on advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties or (z) an indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

(d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.9 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless as contemplated by paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 2.9, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.9(d) to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than the Issuer) shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Losses of the indemnified parties relate exceeds the amount of any damages which such indemnifying party has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 2.9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. If indemnification is available under this Section 2.9, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Sections 2.9(a) and 2.9(b) hereof without regard to the relative fault of said indemnifying parties or indemnified party.

2.10. Rules 144 and 144A. The Issuer covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Issuer is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities after the transfer date, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144 or 144A under the Securities Act, and it will take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 or 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, the Issuer will deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

Section 3. MISCELLANEOUS

3.1. Term. This Agreement shall terminate upon termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement and if the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement are completed on the date as of which (A) all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to a Registration Statement (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder) or (B) the holders are permitted to sell their Registrable Securities under Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in force permitting the sale of restricted securities) without limitation on the amount of securities sold or the manner of sale. The provisions of Section 2.9 and Section 2.10 shall survive any termination after completion of the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement.

3.2. Injunctive Relief. It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure in money the damages that would be suffered if the parties fail to comply with any of the obligations herein imposed on them and that in the event of any such failure, an aggrieved Person will be irreparably damaged and will not have an adequate remedy at law. Any such Person shall, therefore, be entitled (in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled in law or in equity) to injunctive relief, including, without limitation, specific performance, to enforce such obligations, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

3.3. Attorneys’ Fees. In any action or proceeding brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement or where any provision hereof is validly asserted as a defense, the successful party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to any other available remedy.

3.4. Notices. All notices, other communications or documents provided for or permitted to be given hereunder, shall be made in writing and shall be given either personally by hand-delivery, by facsimile transmission, by mailing the same in a sealed envelope, registered first-class mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or by air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:

Any transfer or assignment made other than as provided in the first sentence of this Section 3.5 shall be null and void.

(a) This Agreement may not be amended or modified and waivers and consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, except by an instrument or instruments in writing making specific reference to this Agreement and signed by the Issuer, the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities of each class then outstanding.
