The above debentures are subject to redemption at par at the option of the Corporation, subject to prior regulatory approval, in whole or in part on any interest payment date.

The Corporation exercised its right on July 22, 2010 to defer the payment of interest on its outstanding subordinated debentures for an indefinite period (which can be no longer than 20 consecutive quarterly periods). Further, pursuant to a written agreement between the Corporation and the Federal Reserve, the Corporation cannot pay any dividends on its subordinated debentures without the prior written consent of the Federal Reserve Bank. This and any future deferred distributions will continue to accrue interest at a current rate of LIBOR+1.74% for the $4.0 million of trust preferred securities issued in July 2006 and at a current rate of LIBOR+1.74% for the $8.0 million of trust preferred securities issued in December 2006. Distributions on the trust preferred securities are cumulative. Therefore, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the Corporation will continue to accrue the monthly cost of the trust preferred securities as it has since issuance.
