(c) The Stockholder hereby agrees that during the term of this Agreement it shall not, and shall not permit any of its respective representatives to, (i) initiate, solicit, encourage or knowingly facilitate, directly or indirectly, any inquiries or the making of any proposal with respect to any matter described in Section 3.1(a) or any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) participate in any negotiations concerning, or provide to any other person any nonpublic information or data relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the purpose of, or have any discussions with, any person relating to, or cooperate with or assist or participate in, or knowingly facilitate, any inquiries or the making of any proposal which constitutes, or would reasonably be expected to lead to, any effort or attempt by any other person to seek to effect any matter described in Section 3.1(a) or any Acquisition Proposal or (iii) agree to or release any person from any obligation under any existing standstill agreement or arrangement relating to the Company. The Stockholder agrees immediately to cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any parties conducted heretofore with respect to any possible Acquisition Proposal, or any matter described in Section 3.1(a), and the Stockholder will take the necessary steps to inform its respective representatives of the obligations undertaken by the stockholder pursuant to this Section 3.1. Nothing contained in this Section 3.1(c) shall prevent (1) any representative of the Stockholder from discharging his or her fiduciary duties as a member of the board of directors of the Company or (2) the Stockholder from taking action authorized by the Company Board to the extent such action is permitted by Section 6.06 of the Merger Agreement.

(d) The Stockholder hereby agrees, while this Agreement is in effect, to notify Acquiror promptly in writing of (i) the number of any additional shares of Company Common Stock or other securities of the Company acquired by the Stockholder, if any, after the date hereof and (ii) any such inquiries or proposals that are received by, any such information which is requested from, or any such negotiations or discussions which are sought to be initiated or continued with, the Stockholder with respect to any matter described in Section 3.1(a) or (c).

3.2 Non-Competition. The Stockholder will not, inside the State of Florida, for a period of one (1) year after the Closing Date, own any interest in,

- 6 -

manage, operate or control, or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of (such as by serving as a director, officer, employee, member, partner, consultant, agent or advisor), any business or enterprise that is involved in the business of banking or other financial services (the “Competitive Business”); provided, however, nothing contained herein shall prohibit the Stockholder from (i) continuing to participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of a particular Competitive Business to the extent set forth in Annex A or (ii) acquiring and maintaining an ownership interest in a Competitive Business provided that the acquired ownership interest, when aggregated with any ownership interest of (A) family members of the Stockholder and (B) any person who, together with the Stockholder and any other person would be deemed to be a group (as defined for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), represents less than 5% of the equity and voting power in such Competitive Business. The Stockholder acknowledges that the covenants in this section are executed in order to induce Acquiror to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, are required by Acquiror for the purpose of preserving the business acquired by it in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that Acquiror would not enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement without the agreement of the Stockholder to the covenants contained in this section. The Stockholder also acknowledges that the scope, duration and geographic limitations contained in this section are reasonable given the nature of the Company’s business and the nature of the Competitive Business. In the event that any of the provisions of this section should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, scope, geographic, or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then such provisions shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, scope, geographic or other limitations enforceable under applicable law. The Stockholder further acknowledges that a violation of this section would cause immeasurable injury to Acquiror and that, in the event of a breach by the Stockholder of this section, Acquiror will not have an adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of any such breach, Acquiror shall be entitled to such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available to restrain the Stockholder and any other person participating in such breach from the violation of the provisions hereof in any court of competent jurisdiction and injunctive relief without the necessity of posting a bond or proving special damages. Nothing herein, however, shall be construed as prohibiting Acquiror from pursuing any other remedies available at law or equity for such breach, including the recovery of damages.

ARTICLE IV

Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to require Acquiror, the Stockholder or any of its respective Subsidiaries or affiliates to take any action which would violate any applicable law (whether statutory or common), rule or regulation.

4.7 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart.

4.8 Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with the Merger Agreement, to the extent referred to herein) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

4.9 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and performed entirely within such State.

Each of the parties further agrees to waive any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with obtaining any such equitable relief.

4.12 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction, and if any provision of this Agreement is determined to be so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision

- 9 -

shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable, in all cases so long as neither the economic nor legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is affected in any manner materially adverse to any party or its stockholders or limited partners. Upon any such determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties.

4.13 Assignment; Third Party Beneficiaries. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations of any party hereunder shall be assigned by any of the parties hereto (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other party. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. This Agreement is not intended to confer upon any person other than the parties hereto any rights or remedies hereunder.
