accountants.

give notice to Lender:
(i) of
the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default;
(ii) of
any (A) default under any loan, letter of credit agreement or acceptance
agreement, (B) default under any other Contractual Obligations that would enable
the obligee of such obligations to compel Borrower to immediately pay all
amounts owing thereunder or otherwise accelerate payments thereunder and which
would have a Material Adverse Effect, or (C) litigation, investigation or
proceeding which may exist at any time between Borrower and any Governmental
Authority, which (x) an adverse outcome for any such Borrower is probable (as
used in this context, “probable” means, as reasonably determined by Lender, the
prospects of the claimant not succeeding are judged to be extremely doubtful and
the prospects for success by Borrower in its defense are judged to be slight),
and (y) if so adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse
Effect;
(iii) of
any litigation or proceeding brought or threatened against Borrower (A) in which
the aggregate amount involved is $25,000 or more, or (B) in which injunctive or

condition of Borrower which may have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) Each
notice pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be accompanied by a statement of an

Section 5.8 Taxes. Pay and discharge
all taxes, assessments, governmental charges and levies upon or collected by

against as required by GAAP by Borrower.
Section 5.9 Indemnification.
(a) Defend,
indemnify and hold Lender, its affiliates and holding companies and their
respective officers, directors, agents and employees harmless against any and
all loss, cost, expense (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel),
claims or actions relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes and
the other Loan Documents, or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of the
Advances, regardless of whether or not the disbursement of any Advances shall
actually occur, unless any such loss, cost, expense, claim or action are due to
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Lender. The provisions
of this Section 5.9 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
(b) If
any claim, action or proceeding (a “Proceeding”) is made or brought against
Lender or any of its officers, directors, agents and employees in respect of
which indemnity may be sought hereunder, Lender shall promptly (but in any event
within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of any such claim or action) give
notice to Borrower of the Proceeding; provided that the failure of Lender to
give such notice shall not relieve Borrower from any of their obligations under
this Section 5.9 unless the failure prejudices the defense by Borrower of the
Proceeding, and then only to the extent of any such
prejudice. Following receipt by Borrower of such notice from Lender,
Borrower will be entitled to participate in such Proceeding and, to the extent
that it wishes (unless (i) Borrower is also a party to such Proceeding and
Lenders determines in good faith that joint representation would be
inappropriate, or (ii) Borrower fails to provide reasonable assurance to Lender
of its financial capacity to defend such Proceeding and provide indemnification
with respect to such Proceeding), to assume the defense of such Proceeding with
counsel satisfactory to Lender. If Borrower assumes the defense of a
Proceeding, (i) it will be conclusively established for purposes of this Section
5.9 that the claims made in that Proceeding are within the scope of and subject
to indemnification; (ii) no compromise or settlement of such claims may be
effected by Borrower without Lender’s consent unless (A) there is no finding or
admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any Person
and no material effect on any other claims that may be made against Lender, and
(B) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by
Borrower; and (iii) Lender will have no liability with respect to any compromise
or settlement of such claims effected without its consent. If notice
is given to Borrower of the commencement of any Proceeding and Borrower does
not, within twenty (20) days after Lender’s notice is given, give notice to
Lender of its election to assume the defense of such Proceeding, Borrower will
be bound by any determination made in such Proceeding or any compromise or
settlement effected by Lender (to the extent is thereafter conclusively
established for purposes of this Section 5.9 that the claims made in that
Proceeding are within the scope of and subject to indemnification).
(c) Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if Lender determines in good faith that there is a reasonable
probability that a Proceeding may adversely affect it or its affiliates other
than as a result of monetary damages for which it would be entitled to
indemnification under this Section 5.9, Lender may, by notice to Borrower,
assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such Proceeding, but
Borrower will not be conclusively bound by any determination of a Proceeding so
defended or any compromise or settlement effected without its consent (which may
not be unreasonably withheld).
Section 5.10 Corporate
Existence; Foreign Qualification. Do or cause to be
done at all times all things necessary to: (i) maintain and preserve its
existence, as a corporation or other entity, as the case may be; and (ii) be

Adverse Effect.

entered into between Borrower and Lender.

satisfactory to it of facsimile or other written confirmation from such party of
execution of a counterpart hereof by such party).

in, the State of Ohio and shall be construed and enforceable in accordance with,
and governed by, the laws of the State of Ohio. Borrower agrees that
any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement
or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby
shall, in the sole discretion of Lender, be instituted in any state court of

irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit,
action or proceeding.
Section 9.7 Amendments
and Waivers. Any provision of
this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document may be amended or waived
if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed by an
authorized representative of Borrower and Lender.

Fees. Should any tax
(other than a tax based upon the net income of Lender) or any recording or
filing fees become payable in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other
Loan Document or any amendment, modification or supplement hereof or thereof,
Borrower agrees to pay the same together with any interest or penalties thereon
and agree to hold Lender harmless with respect thereof.

1. Restrictions on Transfer of
Shares. No holder of Shares of New Core Holdings, Inc. (the
“Company”) may Transfer any Shares now owned or hereafter acquired except in
compliance with this Agreement. Any proposed Transfer which is not in
compliance with this Agreement shall be void and of no effect whatsoever, and
shall not be recognized by the Company on its books or otherwise.
(a) Tag Along
Rights. If one or more holders of Shares owning, in the
aggregate, at least a majority of the outstanding Shares (collectively, the
“Majority Shareholders”), propose to Transfer all or any portion of the Shares
held by the Majority Shareholders (the “Offered Shares”) to an unaffiliated
third party (the “Third Party Purchaser”) pursuant to a bona fide sale (in one
or more related transactions), Rurbanc Data Services, Inc. (“RDSI”) shall have
the option, exercisable by written notice to the Majority Shareholders (the “Tag
Along Notice”), to participate in such Transfer to the Third Party Purchaser on
the same terms and conditions as the Majority Shareholders (the “Tag
Along”). The maximum number of Shares that may be Transferred by RDSI
pursuant to the Tag Along shall be equal to the product of the Offered Shares,
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is equal to the number of
Shares held by RDSI, and the denominator of which is equal to the sum of (i) the
number of Shares owned by RDSI, and (ii) the number of Shares owned by the
Majority Shareholders.
The
Majority Shareholders shall notify RDSI in writing of any such proposed Transfer
(the “Sale Notice”). The Sale Notice shall set forth (i) the name and
address of the proposed Third Party Purchaser; (ii) a copy of the written
proposal containing all of the material terms and conditions of the proposed
Transfer (including the proposed purchase price and terms and conditions of
payment); and (iii) the date and location of and procedures for the
Transfer. The Tag Along shall be exercised by RDSI by delivery of a
written notice to the Majority Shareholders within fifteen (15) days following
receipt of the Sale Notice, which notice shall state the number of Shares that
RDSI proposes to Transfer to the Third Party Purchaser. If RDSI does
not choose to participate in the Tag Along to the fullest extent possible, the
Majority Shareholders shall have the right to Transfer to the Third Party
Purchaser the amount of Shares that RDSI would have been entitled to Transfer to
the Third Party Purchaser. RDSI will bear the costs and expenses
incurred by it in connection with the Tag Along to the extent such costs are not
paid by the Third Party Purchaser.
(b) Drag Along
Rights. If the Majority Shareholders propose to Transfer all
of the Shares held by the Majority Shareholders to a Third Party Purchaser
pursuant to a bona fide sale (in one or more related transactions), the Majority
Shareholders shall have the option, exercisable by written notice to RDSI (the
“Drag Along Notice”), to require RDSI to participate in such Transfer to the
Third Party Purchaser on the same terms and conditions as the Majority
Shareholders (the “Drag Along”). Upon receipt of the Drag Along
Notice, RDSI shall take all actions necessary or desirable in connection with
the consummation of the Drag Along in order to effectively vest good title,
right and interest, free and clear of all liens or encumbrances, in all of the
Shares to such Third Party Purchaser on the same terms and conditions and for
the same consideration per share as is applicable to the Majority Shareholders,
within not more than thirty (30) days following the date of the Drag Along
Notice. The Majority Shareholders will bear the costs and expenses
incurred by RDSI in connection with the Drag Along to the extent such costs and
expenses are not paid by the Third Party Purchaser.
(c) Definitions.

capital stock of the Company.

For value

($____________), together with interest from the date hereof on the unpaid
principal balance from time to time outstanding, as described
below.
Pursuant
to the terms of the Subordinated Loan Agreement, the principal amount of this
Note shall be due and payable on the Working Capital Advance Maturity Date,
provided, that (a) if neither the Spin-Off nor the RDSI Sale occurs on or before
the Final Spin-Off Date, the principal amount of the Working Advance shall be
due and payable on the later of the Working Capital Advance Maturity Date
applicable to the first Working Capital Advance and 36 months after the Final
Spin-Off Date or (b) if the RDSI Sale occurs, the principal amount of the
Working Capital Advance shall be due and payable on the later of the Working
Advance Maturity Date applicable to the first Working Capital Advance and 36
months after the RDSI Sale Date.
Advances
made pursuant to this Note shall bear interest from the date of the Working
Capital Advance at the rate per annum equal to three percent (3%) plus the One
Year FHLBB Advance Rate as in effect on the date of such Advance. The
interest rate shall adjust on each anniversary of the issuance of this Note to a
rate per annum equal to three percent (3%) plus the One Year FHLBB Advance Rate
in effect on such anniversary date. Interest shall accrue and shall
be due and payable on the Final Spin-Off Date, provided, that (a) if neither the
Spin-Off nor the RDSI Sale occurs on or before the Final Spin-Off Date, Borrower
shall pay all accrued interest on the Final Spin-Off Date, and any interest

following month, or (b) if the RDSI Sale occurs, Borrower shall pay all accrued
interest on the RDSI Sale Date, and any interest accrued thereafter shall be due

for the actual number of days the unpaid principal amount hereof is
outstanding.
All
payments received under the terms of this Note will be applied by Lender first
to any sums due under this Note other than principal or interest, second to
interest due and payable, third to any amounts of principal due and payable, and
fourth to the last to mature of the payments of principal due under this
Note.
Principal,
interest and other sums payable in accordance with this Note shall be payable in
lawful money of the United States of America at Lender’s address referenced
above, or such other address of which Lender may from time to time give written
notice to Borrower.
This Note
shall be secured by all assets and personal property of Borrower, which
collateral is more fully described in that certain Security Agreement, dated as
of April 29, 2009, between Borrower and Lender, as amended by an Amendment to
Security Agreement, dated as of the Effective Date (as further amended, amended

Lender, bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (a) five percent (5%) plus
(b) the interest rate on the Advances in effect prior to an Event of
Default.
No delay
or failure on the part of Lender to exercise any of its rights hereunder shall
be deemed a waiver of such rights or of any other rights of Lender nor shall any
delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to or a waiver of
such rights or any other right on any future occasion.
Borrower
and all other persons now or hereafter liable, primarily or secondarily, for the
payment of the indebtedness evidenced hereby or any part thereof, waive
presentment for payment, demand, notice of dishonor, protest and notice of
protest, and all notices of every kind and assent to all extension(s) or
postponement(s) of the time of payment or any other indulgences by Lender to any
substitutions, exchanges, or releases of any security for this Note, and to
additions or releases of any other parties or persons primarily or secondarily
liable hereon.
Upon any
transfer of this Note by Lender or by any subsequent transferee, the transferee
shall thereupon become vested with all rights, benefits and privileges of Lender
under this Note and by law provided, and the term “Lender” shall mean such
subsequent transferee or transferee(s).
This Note
and all rights and obligations under this Note shall be governed by and
construed under the local laws of the State of Ohio. If any provision
hereof is or becomes invalid or unenforceable under any law of mandatory
application, it is the intent of Borrower, Lender, and all parties primarily or
secondarily liable hereunder, that such provision will be deemed severed and
omitted herefrom, the remaining portions hereof to remain in full force and
effect as written.
If there
is a lawsuit arising out of this Note, Borrower agrees, upon Lender’s request,
to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of a state court of appropriate
jurisdiction in Defiance County, Ohio, or a federal court of appropriate
jurisdiction in Toledo, Ohio, and waives any objection that it may have, now or
hereafter, to the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding, and irrevocably
submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or
proceeding. Borrower hereby waives the right to any jury trial in any
action, proceeding, or counterclaim brought by either Lender or Borrower on this
Note.
