Junior
Subordinated Debt Security due 2038
of
Jacksonville
Bancorp, Inc.
Jacksonville
Bancorp, Inc., a bank holding company incorporated in Florida (the "Company"),
for value received promises to pay to Xxxxx Fargo Bank, National Association,
not in its individual capacity but solely as Institutional Trustee for
Jacksonville Bancorp, Inc. Statutory Trust III, a Delaware statutory trust
(the
"Securityholder"), or registered assigns, the principal sum of Seven Million
Seven Hundred Eighty Four Thousand Dollars ($7,784,000) on September 15, 2038
and to pay interest on said principal sum from June 20, 2008, or from the most
recent interest payment date (each such date, an "Interest Payment Date") to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for, quarterly (subject to
deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15
and
December 15 of each year commencing September 15, 2008, at a variable per annum
rate equal to LIBOR (as defined in the Indenture) plus 3.75% (the "Interest
Rate") (provided, however, that the Interest Rate for any Interest Payment
Period may not exceed the highest rate permitted by New York law, as the same
may be modified by United States law of general applicability) until the
principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and on any overdue principal
and (without duplication and to the extent that payment of such interest is
enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at
an
annual rate equal to the Interest Rate in effect for each such Interest Payment
Period compounded quarterly. The amount of interest payable on any Interest
Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained herein, if any Interest Payment Date, other than
on
the Maturity Date, any Redemption Date (to the extent redeemed) or the Special
Redemption Date, falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then any interest
payable will be paid on, and such Interest Payment Date will be moved to, the
next succeeding Business Day, and additional interest will accrue for each
day
that such payment is delayed as a result thereof. If the Maturity Date,
Redemption Date or Special Redemption Date falls on a day that is not a Business
Day, then the principal, premium, if any, and/or interest payable on such date
will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, and no additional interest
will accrue (except that, if such Business Day falls in the next calendar year,
such payment will be made on the immediately preceding Business Day). The
interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for,
on
any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the
Person in whose name this Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities,
as defined in said Indenture) is registered at the close of business on the
regular record date for such interest installment, except that interest and
any
Deferred Interest payable on the Maturity Date shall be paid to the Person
to
whom principal is paid. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or
duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered
Securityholders on such regular record date and may be paid to the Person in
whose name this Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Debt Securities)
is
registered at the close of business on a special record date to be fixed by
the
Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be
given to the registered Securityholders not less than 10 days prior to such
special record date, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. The principal
of and interest on this Debt Security shall be payable at the office or agency
of the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) maintained
for
that purpose in any coin or currency of the United States of America that at
the
time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts;
provided,
however,
that
payment of interest may be made at the option of the Company by check mailed
to
the registered Securityholder at such address as shall appear in the Debt
Security Register or by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an
account appropriately designated by the holder hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as the holder of this Debt Security is the Institutional
Trustee, payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this
Debt Security shall be made in immediately available funds when due at such
place and to such account as may be designated by the Institutional Trustee.
All
payments in respect of this Debt Security shall be payable in any coin or
currency of the United States of America that at the time of payment is legal
tender for payment of public and private debts.
Upon
submission of Notice (as defined in the Indenture) and so long as no Event
of
Default pursuant to paragraphs (c), (e), (f) or (g) of Section 5.01 of the
Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Company shall have the right
under
the Indenture, from time to time and without causing an Event of Default, to
defer payments of interest on the Debt Securities by extending the interest
distribution period on the Debt Securities at any time and from time to time
during the term of the Debt Securities, for up to 20 consecutive quarterly
periods (each such extended interest distribution period, an "Extension
Period"), during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable
(except any Additional Interest that may be due and payable). During any
Extension Period, interest will continue to accrue on the Debt Securities,
and
interest on such accrued interest (such accrued interest and interest thereon
referred to herein as "Deferred Interest") will accrue at an annual rate equal
to the Interest Rate applicable during such Extension Period, compounded
quarterly from the date such Deferred Interest would have been payable were
it
not for the Extension Period, to the extent permitted by law. No Extension
Period may end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date. At the end of
any
such Extension Period the Company shall pay all Deferred Interest then accrued
and unpaid on the Debt Securities; provided,
however,
that no
Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date, Redemption Date (to the
extent redeemed) or Special Redemption Date; and provided,
further,
however, during any such Extension Period, the Company may not (i) declare
or
pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make
a
liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's capital stock or
(ii)
make any payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on or repay,
repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank pari passu
in
all respects with or junior in interest to the Debt Securities or (iii) make
any
payment under any guarantees of the Company that rank in all respects
pari
passu
with or
junior in respect to the Capital Securities Guarantee (other than (a)
repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of
the
Company (A) in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other
similar arrangement with or for the benefit of one or more employees, officers,
directors or consultants, (B) in connection with a dividend reinvestment or
stockholder stock purchase plan or (C) in connection with the issuance of
capital stock of the Company (or securities convertible into or exercisable
for
such capital stock), as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered
into
prior to the applicable Extension Period, (b) as a result of any exchange,
reclassification, combination or conversion of any class or series of the
Company's capital stock (or any capital stock of a subsidiary of the Company)
for any class or series of the Company's capital stock or of any class or series
of the Company's indebtedness for any class or series of the Company's capital
stock, (c) the purchase of fractional interests in shares of the Company's
capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of such capital
stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (d) any declaration of
a
dividend in connection with any stockholder's rights plan, or the issuance
of
rights, stock or other property under any stockholder's rights plan, or the
redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto, or (e) any dividend in
the
form of stock, warrants, options or other rights where the dividend stock or
the
stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants, options or other rights is the
same stock as that on which the dividend is being paid or ranks pari
passu
with or
junior to such stock). Prior to the termination of any Extension Period, the
Company may further extend such Extension Period; provided,
that no
Extension Period (including all previous and further consecutive extensions
that
are part of such Extension Period) shall exceed 20 consecutive quarterly
periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date, Redemption Date (to the extent
redeemed) or Special Redemption Date. Upon the termination of any Extension
Period and upon the payment of all Deferred Interest, the Company may commence
a
new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No interest or
Deferred Interest shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except
at
the end thereof, but Deferred Interest shall accrue upon each installment of
interest that would otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension
Period until such installment is paid. The Company must give the Trustee notice
of its election to begin any
Extension Period or
extend
an Extension Period ("Notice") not
later
than the related regular record
date for the relevant Interest Payment Date. The Notice shall describe why
the
Company has elected to begin an Extension Period. The Notice shall acknowledge
and affirm the Company's understanding that it is prohibited from issuing
dividends and other distributions during the Extension Period. Upon receipt
of
the Notice, the Placement Agent shall have the right, at its sole discretion,
to
disclose the name of the Company, the fact that the Company has elected to
begin
an Extension Period and other information that such Placement Agent, at its
sole
discretion, deems relevant to the Company's election to begin an Extension
Period. The Trustee shall give notice of the Company's election to begin a
new
Extension Period to the Securityholders.
The
indebtedness evidenced by this Debt Security is, to the extent provided in
the
Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment
in
full of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Debt Security is issued subject to
the
provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each holder of this Debt
Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such
provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on such Securityholder's
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge
or
effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the Trustee such
Securityholder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each holder
hereof, by such holder's acceptance hereof, hereby waives all notice of the
acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the Indenture
by each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter
incurred, and waives reliance by each such Securityholder upon said
provisions.
The
Company waives diligence, presentment, demand for payment, notice of nonpayment,
notice of protest, and all other demands and notices.
This
Debt
Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture hereinafter
referred to and shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose until
the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been signed by or on behalf
of the Trustee.
The
provisions of this Debt Security are continued on the reverse side hereof and
such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though
fully set forth at this place.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has duly executed this certificate.

This

all issued or to be issued pursuant to an Indenture (the "Indenture"), dated
as
of June 20, 2008, duly executed and delivered between the Company and Xxxxx
Fargo Bank, National Association, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), to which Indenture
and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a

the

authority with jurisdiction over the Company if such approval is then required
under applicable capital guidelines or policies of such regulatory authority,
upon not less than 30 days' nor more than 60 days' notice. If the Debt
Securities are only partially redeemed by the Company, the Debt Securities
will

In
the
event of redemption of this Debt Security in part only, a new Debt Security
or
Debt Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name
of
the Securityholder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.
In
certain cases where an Event of Default pursuant to paragraphs (c), (e), (f)
or
(g) of Section 5.01 of the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing,
the
principal of all of the Debt Securities may be declared, and, in certain cases,
shall ipso facto become, due and payable, and upon such declaration of
acceleration shall become due and payable, in each case, in the manner, with
the
effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
The
Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee, with
the
consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Debt Securities at the time outstanding affected thereby, as specified
in
the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding
any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of
the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner
the
rights of the Securityholders; provided,
however,
that no
such supplemental indenture shall, among other things, without the consent
of
the holders of each Debt Security then outstanding and affected thereby (i)
change the Maturity Date of any Debt Security, or reduce the principal amount
thereof or any redemption premium thereon, or reduce the rate (or manner of
calculation of the rate) or extend the time of payment of interest thereon,
or
reduce (other than as a result of the maturity or earlier redemption of any
such
Debt Security in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and such Debt
Security) or increase the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities then
outstanding, or change any of the redemption provisions, or make the principal
thereof or any interest or premium thereon payable in any coin or currency
other
than United States Dollars, or impair or affect the right of any Securityholder
to institute suit for the payment thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid
percentage of Debt Securities, the holders of which are required to consent
to
any such supplemental indenture. The Indenture also contains provisions
permitting the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities at the time outstanding, on behalf of all of the Securityholders,
to
waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained
in
the Indenture, or established pursuant to the Indenture, and its consequences,
except (a) a default in payments due in respect of any of the Debt Securities,
(b) in respect of covenants or provisions of the Indenture which cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each Debt Security
affected, or (c) in respect of the covenants of the Company relating to its
ownership of Common Securities of the Trust. Any such consent or waiver by
the
registered holder of this Debt Security (unless revoked as provided in the
Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Securityholder and upon
all
future holders and owners of this Debt Security and of any Debt Security issued
in exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer
or
otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Debt Security.
No
reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debt Security or
of
the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay all payments due on this Debt Security at
the
time and place and at the rate and in the money herein prescribed.
As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein
set forth, this Debt Security is transferable by the registered holder hereof
on
the Debt Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Debt Security
for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee in
Wilmington, Delaware accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Trustee duly executed by
the
registered holder hereof or such Securityholder's attorney duly authorized
in
writing, and thereupon one or more new Debt Securities of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to
the
designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for any
such registration of transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation
thereto.
Prior
to
due presentment for registration of transfer of this Debt Security, the Company,
the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any transfer agent
and
the Debt Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered holder hereof
as
the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Debt Security shall be overdue
and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon) for the purpose
of receiving payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest
on
this Debt Security and for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor
the
Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent nor any Paying Agent nor any transfer
agent
nor any Debt Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
No
recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on
this Debt Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in respect
hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any incorporator,
stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as such, of the
Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by virtue of
any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment
or
penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and
as
part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly waived and
released.
The
Debt
Securities are issuable only in registered certificated form without coupons.
As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and therein
set forth, Debt Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Debt Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested
by the Securityholder surrendering the same.
All
terms
used in this Debt Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the
meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
THE
LAW
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THE INDENTURE AND THE DEBT SECURITIES,
WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF (OTHER THAN SECTION 5-1401
OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW).
