stock are entitled to receive such dividends as are declared by the board of directors, which has as of late considered payment of dividends
quarterly. The ability of the Company to pay dividends, as well as fund its operations, is dependent upon receipt of dividends from the
Banks. Regulatory authorities limit the amount of dividends that can be paid by the Banks without prior approval from such authorities.
For further discussion of the Banks&#8217; dividend restrictions, which would impact dividends on our preferred stock as well as our common

party to acquire the Company is also subject to applicable banking laws and regulations. The Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (the &#8220;BHCA&#8221;)
and the regulations thereunder require any &#8220;bank holding company&#8221; (as defined in the BHCA) to obtain the approval of the Federal
Reserve prior to acquiring more than 5% of the outstanding shares of a class of our voting stock. As a financial holding company, the
Company is a bank holding company under the BHCA. Any person other than a bank holding company is required to obtain prior approval of
the Federal Reserve to acquire 10% or more of the outstanding shares of a class of our voting stock under the Change in Bank Control Act
of 1978. Federal law also prohibits any person or company from acquiring &#8220;control&#8221; of an FDIC-insured depository institution
or its holding company without prior notice to the appropriate federal bank regulator. &#8220;Control&#8221; is conclusively presumed
to exist upon the acquisition of 25% or more of the outstanding voting securities of a bank or bank holding company but may arise under
certain circumstances between 10% and 24.99% ownership. For purposes of calculating ownership thresholds under these banking regulations,
bank regulators would likely take the position that the minimum number of shares, and could take the position that the maximum number
of shares, of the Company&#8217;s common stock that a holder is entitled to receive pursuant to securities convertible into or settled
in the Company&#8217;s common stock, including pursuant to the Company&#8217;s warrants to purchase the Company&#8217;s common stock held
by such holder, must be taken into account in calculating a shareholder&#8217;s aggregate holdings of the Company&#8217;s common stock.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Article VIII of the Company&#8217;s Restated Certificate
of Incorporation, as amended, provides in effect that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the extent permitted by
Delaware law. Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation law provides that a Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify its
directors, officers, employees and agents in certain circumstances. Subsection (a) of Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation
Law empowers a corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent, or former director, officer, employee or agent, who
was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the Company), against expenses (including attorneys&#8217;
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding
provided that such director, officer, employee or agent acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Company and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, provided that such director,
officer, employee or agent had no reasonable cause to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Subsection (b) of Section 145 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law empowers a corporation to indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent, or former director, officer, employee or
agent, who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right
of the Company to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that such person acted in any of the capacities set forth above,
against expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of such
action or suit provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to
the best interests of the Company, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such
person has been adjudged to be liable to the Company unless and only to the extent that the Delaware Court of Chancery determines that
despite the adjudication of liability such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court deems
proper.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Section 145 further provides that to the extent
that a director or officer or employee of a corporation has been successful in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred
to in subsections (a) and (b) or in the defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she will be indemnified against expenses
(including attorneys&#8217; fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection therewith; that indemnification provided
by Section 145 will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which the party seeking indemnification may be entitled; and the Company
is empowered to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company against any liability
asserted against him or her or incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such whether or not
the Company would have the power to indemnify him or her against such liabilities under Section 145; and that, unless indemnification
is ordered by a court, the determination that indemnification under subsections (a) and (b) of Section 145 is proper because the director,
officer, employee or agent has met the applicable standard of conduct under such subsections will be made by (i) a majority vote of the
directors who are not parties to such action, suit or proceeding, even though less than a quorum, or (ii) if there are no such directors,
or if such directors so direct, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion, or (iii) by the stockholders.</P>
