transfer or sell Collateral out of the ordinary course of business, or
(3) pay any dividends on Borrower's stock (other than dividends
payable in its stock), provided, however that notwithstanding the
foregoing, but only so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would result from the payment of dividends, if Borrower
is a "Subchapter S Corporation" (as defined in the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended), Borrower may pay cash dividends on its
stock to its shareholders from time to time in amounts necessary to
enable the shareholders to pay income taxes and make estimated income
tax payments to satisfy their liabilities under federal and state law
which arise solely from their status as Shareholders of a Subchapter S
Corporation because of their ownership of shares of Borrower's stock,
or purchase or retire any of Borrower's outstanding shares or alter or
amend Borrower's capital structure.
CESSATION OF ADVANCES. If Lender has made any commitment to make any Loan
to Borrower, whether under this Agreement or under any other agreement,
Lender shall have no obligation to make Loan advances or to disburse Loan
proceeds if: (A) Borrower or any guarantor is in default under the terms of
this Agreement or any other agreement that Borrower or any guarantor has
with Lender; (B) Borrower or any guarantor dies, becomes incompetent or
becomes insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy or similar proceedings,
or is adjudged a bankrupt; (C) there occurs a material adverse change in
Borrower's financial condition, in the financial condition of any
guarantor, or in the value of any collateral securing any Loan; or (D) any
guarantor seeks, claims or otherwise attempts to limit, modify or revoke

Lender in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ itself insecure, even though no Event of Default
shall have occurred.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves
a right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.
However, this does not include any ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ accounts, or any trust
accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes
Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all
sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.
DEFAULT. Each of the following shall constitute an Event of Default under
this Agreement:
PAYMENT DEFAULT. Borrower fails to make any payment when due under the
Loan.
OTHER DEFAULT. Borrower fails to comply with any other term,
obligation, covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in
any of the Related Documents.

or liability under, any Guaranty of the Indebtedness. In the
BUSINESS LOAN AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 1928 (CONTINUED) PAGE 3
event of a death, Lender, at its option, may, but shall not be
required to, permit the Guarantor's estate to assume unconditionally

CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP. Any change in ownership of twenty-five percent
(25%) or more of the common stock of Borrower.
INSECURITY. Lender in good faith believes itself insecure.
EFFECT OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT. If any Event of Default shall occur, except
where otherwise provided in this Agreement or the Related Documents, all
commitments and obligations of Lender under this Agreement immediately will
terminate (including any obligation to make further Loan Advances or
disbursements), and, at Lender's option, all Indebtedness immediately will
become due and payable, all without notice of any kind to Borrower, except
that in the case of an Event of Default of the type described in the
"Insolvency" subsection above, such acceleration shall be automatic and
not optional. In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies
provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or
otherwise. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's
rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or
concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude
pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to
take action to perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall
not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to exercise its rights
and remedies.

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $600,000 INITIAL RATE: 4.250% DATE OF NOTE: APRIL 15, 2003
PROMISE TO PAY. COAST FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. ("BORROWER") PROMISES TO PAY TO
INDEPENDENT BANKERS' BANK OF FLORIDA ("LENDER"), OR ORDER, IN LAWFUL MONEY
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND &
00/100 DOLLARS ($600,000.00) OR SO MUCH AS MAY BE OUTSTANDING, TOGETHER WITH
INTEREST ON THE UNPAID OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF EACH ADVANCE. INTEREST
SHALL BE CALCULATED FROM THE DATE OF EACH ADVANCE UNTIL REPAYMENT OF EACH
ADVANCE. THE INTEREST RATE WILL NOT INCREASE ABOVE 18.000%.
PAYMENT. BORROWER WILL PAY THIS LOAN ON DEMAND. PAYMENT IN FULL IS DUE
IMMEDIATELY UPON LENDER'S DEMAND. IF NO DEMAND IS MADE, BORROWER WILL PAY THIS
LOAN IN ONE PAYMENT OF ALL OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL PLUS ALL ACCRUED UNPAID
INTEREST ON APRIL 15, 2005. IN ADDITION, BORROWER WILL PAY REGULAR MONTHLY
PAYMENTS OF ALL ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST DUE AS OF EACH PAYMENT DATE, BEGINNING
MAY 15, 2003, WITH ALL SUBSEQUENT INTEREST PAYMENTS TO BE DUE ON THE SAME DAY OF
EACH MONTH AFTER THAT. UNLESS OTHERWISE AGREED OR REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
PAYMENTS WILL BE APPLIED FIRST TO ACCRUED UNPAID INTEREST, THEN TO PRINCIPAL,
AND ANY REMAINING AMOUNT TO ANY UNPAID COLLECTION COSTS AND LATE CHARGES. THE
ANNUAL INTEREST RATE FOR THIS NOTE IS COMPUTED ON A 365/360 BASIS; THAT IS, BY
APPLYING THE RATIO OF THE ANNUAL INTEREST RATE OVER A YEAR OF 360 DAYS,
MULTIPLIED BY THE OUTSTANDING PRINCIPAL BALANCE, MULTIPLIED BY THE ACTUAL NUMBER
OF DAYS THE PRINCIPAL BALANCE IS OUTSTANDING. BORROWER WILL PAY LENDER AT
LENDER'S ADDRESS SHOWN ABOVE OR AT SUCH OTHER PLACE AS LENDER MAY DESIGNATE IN
WRITING.
VARIABLE INTEREST RATE. The interest rate on this Note is subject to change from
time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the Wall Street
Journal Prime Rate as published in the "Money Section" of the Wall Street
Journal (the "Index"). The Index is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by
Lender on its loans. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this
loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after notice to Borrower. Lender
will tell Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's request. The interest
rate change will not occur more often than each day. Borrower understands that
Lender may make loans based on other rates as well. THE INDEX CURRENTLY IS
4.250% PER ANNUM. THE INTEREST RATE TO BE APPLIED TO THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL
BALANCE OF THIS NOTE WILL BE AT A RATE EQUAL TO THE INDEX, ADJUSTED IF NECESSARY
FOR ANY MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM RATE LIMITATIONS DESCRIBED BELOW, RESULTING IN AN
INITIAL RATE OF 4.250% PER ANNUM. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE VARIABLE
INTEREST RATE OR RATES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS NOTE WILL BE SUBJECT TO THE
FOLLOWING MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM RATES. NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the
effective rate of interest on this Note be less than 4.250% per annum or more
than (except for any higher default rate shown below) the lesser of 18.000% per
annum or the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.
PREPAYMENT. Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed
earlier than it is due. Early payments will not, unless agreed to by Lender in
writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to make payments
of accrued unpaid interest. Rather, early payments will reduce the principal
balance due. Borrower agrees not to send Lender payments marked "paid in full",
"without recourse", or similar language. If Borrower sends such a payment,
Lender may accept it without losing any of Lender's rights under this Note, and
Borrower will remain obligated to pay any further amount owed to Lender. All
written communications concerning disputed amounts, including any check or other
payment instrument that indicates that the payment constitutes "payment in full"
of the amount owed or that is tendered with other conditions or limitations or
as full satisfaction of a disputed amount must be mailed or delivered to:
INDEPENDENT BANKERS BANK, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇.
LATE CHARGE. If a payment is 10 days or more late, Borrower will be charged
5.000% of the regularly scheduled payment.
INTEREST AFTER DEFAULT. Upon default, including failure to pay upon final
maturity, Lender, at its option, may, if permitted under applicable law,
increase the variable interest rate on this Note to 18.000% per annum, if and to
the extent that the increase does not cause the interest rate to exceed the
maximum rate permitted by applicable law.
LENDER'S RIGHTS. Upon Lender's demand, Lender may declare the entire unpaid
principal balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due,
and then Borrower will pay that amount.
ATTORNEYS' FEES; EXPENSES. Lender may hire or pay someone else to help collect
this Note if Borrower does not pay. Borrower will pay Lender the amount of
these costs and expenses, which includes, subject to any limits under applicable
law, Lender's reasonable attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or
not there is a lawsuit, including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses

also will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.

submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of Seminole County, State of Florida.
RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves a
right of setoff in all Borrower's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Borrower holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Borrower may open in the future.
However, this does not include any ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ accounts, or any trust accounts
for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Borrower authorizes Lender, to

GENERAL PROVISIONS. If any part of this Note cannot be enforced, this fact
will not affect the rest of the Note. Borrower does not agree or intend to
pay, and Lender does not agree or intend to contract for, charge, collect,
take, reserve or receive (collectively referred to herein as "charge or
collect"), any amount in the nature of interest or in the nature of a fee
for this loan, which would in any way or event (including demand,
prepayment, or acceleration) cause Lender to charge or collect more for
this loan than the maximum Lender would be permitted to charge or collect
by federal law or the law of the State of Florida (as applicable). Any such
excess interest or unauthorized fee shall, instead of anything stated to
the contrary, be applied first to reduce the principal balance of this
loan, and when the principal has been paid in full, be refunded to
Borrower. Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or remedies
under this Note without losing them. Borrower and any other person who
signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by law,

change in the terms of this Note, and unless otherwise expressly stated in
writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as maker, guarantor,
accommodation maker or endorser, shall be released from liability. All such
parties agree that Lender may renew or extend (repeatedly and for any
length of time) this loan or release any party or guarantor or collateral;
or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender's security interest in
the collateral; and take any other action deemed necessary by Lender
without the consent of or notice to anyone. All such parties also agree
that Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone
other than the party with whom the modification is made. The obligations
under this Note are joint and several.
PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS NOTE, BORROWER READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE PROVISIONS
OF THIS NOTE, INCLUDING THE VARIABLE INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS. BORROWER
AGREES TO THE TERMS OF THE NOTE.

THIS COMMERCIAL PLEDGE AGREEMENT DATED APRIL 15, 2003, IS MADE AND EXECUTED
BETWEEN COAST FINANCIAL HOLDINGS, INC. ("GRANTOR") AND INDEPENDENT BANKERS'
BANK OF FLORIDA ("LENDER").
GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, GRANTOR GRANTS TO
LENDER A SECURITY INTEREST IN THE COLLATERAL TO SECURE THE INDEBTEDNESS AND
AGREES THAT LENDER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHTS STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT WITH
RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL, IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER RIGHTS WHICH LENDER MAY
HAVE BY LAW.
COLLATERAL DESCRIPTION. The word "Collateral" as used in this Agreement
means Grantor's present and future rights, title and interest in and to,
together with any and all present and future additions thereto,
substitutions therefore, and replacements thereof, together with any and
all present and future certificates and/or instruments evidencing any Stock
and further together with all Income and Proceeds as described herein:
100% OF THE COMMON STOCK OF COAST BANK OF FLORIDA AND ALL
SUBSTITUTIONS, REPLACEMENTS AND PROCEEDS THEREOF
RIGHT OF SETOFF. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Lender reserves
a right of setoff in all Grantor's accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account). This includes all accounts Grantor holds
jointly with someone else and all accounts Grantor may open in the future.
However, this does not include any ▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇ accounts, or any trust
accounts for which setoff would be prohibited by law. Grantor authorizes
Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all
sums owing on the Indebtedness against any and all such accounts.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. Grantor
represents and warrants to Lender that:
OWNERSHIP. Grantor is the lawful owner of the Collateral free and
clear of all security interests, liens, encumbrances and claims of
others except as disclosed to and accepted by Lender in writing prior
to execution of this Agreement.
RIGHT TO PLEDGE. Grantor has the full right, power and authority to
enter into this Agreement and to pledge the Collateral.
AUTHORITY; BINDING EFFECT. Grantor has the full right, power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and to grant a security
interest in the Collateral to Lender. This Agreement is binding upon
Grantor as well as Grantor's successors and assigns, and is legally
enforceable in accordance with its terms. The foregoing
representations and warranties, and all other representations and
warranties contained in this Agreement are and shall be continuing in
nature and shall remain in full force and effect until such time as
this Agreement is terminated or cancelled as provided herein.
NO FURTHER ASSIGNMENT. Grantor has not, and shall not, sell, assign,
transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of any of Grantor's rights in
the Collateral except as provided in this Agreement.
NO DEFAULTS. There are no defaults existing under the Collateral, and
there are no offsets or counterclaims to the same. Grantor will
strictly and promptly perform each of the terms, conditions, covenants
and agreements, if any, contained in the Collateral which are to be
performed by Grantor.
NO VIOLATION. The execution and delivery of this Agreement will not
violate any law or agreement governing Grantor or to which Grantor is
a party, and its certificate or articles of incorporation and bylaws
do not prohibit any term or condition of this Agreement.
FINANCING STATEMENTS. Grantor authorizes Lender to file a UCC-1
financing statement, or alternatively, a copy of this Agreement to
perfect Lender's security interest. At Lender's request, Grantor
additionally agrees to sign all other documents that are necessary to
perfect, protect, and continue Lender's security interest in the
Property. Grantor will pay all filing fees, title transfer fees, and
other fees and costs involved unless prohibited by law or unless
Lender is required by law to pay such fees and costs. Grantor
irrevocably appoints Lender to execute financing statements and
documents of title in Grantor's name and to execute all documents
necessary to transfer title if there is a default. Lender may file a
copy of this Agreement as a financing statement. If Grantor changes
Grantor's name or address, or the name or address of any person
granting a security interest under this Agreement changes, Grantor
will promptly notify the Lender of such change.
LENDER'S RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE COLLATERAL. Lender may
hold the Collateral until all Indebtedness has been paid and satisfied.
Thereafter Lender may deliver the Collateral to Grantor or to any other
owner of the Collateral. Lender shall have the following rights in addition
to all other rights Lender may have by law:
MAINTENANCE AND PROTECTION OF COLLATERAL. Lender may, but shall not
be obligated to, take such steps as it deems necessary or desirable
to protect, maintain, insure, store, or care for the Collateral,
including paying of any liens or claims against the Collateral. This
may include such things as hiring other people, such as attorneys,
appraisers or other experts. Lender may charge Grantor for any cost
incurred in so doing. When applicable law provides more than one
method of perfection of Lender's security interest, Lender may choose
the method(s) to be used. If the Collateral consists of stock, bonds
or other investment property for which no certificate has been
issued, Grantor agrees, at Lender's request, either to request
issuance of an appropriate certificate or to give instructions on
Lender's forms to the issuer, transfer agent, mutual fund company, or
broker, as the case may be, to record on its books or records
Lender's security interest in the Collateral.
INCOME AND PROCEEDS FROM THE COLLATERAL. Lender may receive all Income
and Proceeds and add it to the Collateral. Grantor agrees to deliver
to Lender immediately upon receipt, in the exact form received and
without commingling with other property, all Income and Proceeds from
the Collateral which may be received by, paid, or delivered to Grantor
or for Grantor's account, whether as an addition to, in discharge of,
in substitution of, or in exchange for any of the Collateral.
APPLICATION OF CASH. At Lender's option, Lender may apply any cash,
whether included in the Collateral or received as Income and Proceeds
or through liquidation, sale, or retirement, of the Collateral, to the
satisfaction of the Indebtedness or such portion thereof as Lender
shall choose, whether or not matured.
TRANSACTIONS WITH OTHERS. Lender may (1) extend time for payment or
other performance, (2) grant a renewal or change in terms or
COMMERCIAL PLEDGE AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 1928 (CONTINUED) PAGE 2
conditions, or (3) compromise, compound or release any obligation, with any
one or more Obligors, endorsers, or Guarantors of the Indebtedness as Lender
deems advisable, without obtaining the prior written consent of Grantor, and
no such act or failure to act shall affect Lender's rights against Grantor
or the Collateral.
ALL COLLATERAL SECURES INDEBTEDNESS. All Collateral shall be security for
the Indebtedness, whether the Collateral is located at one or more offices
or branches of Lender. This will be the case whether or not the office or
branch where Grantor obtained Grantor's loan knows about the Collateral or
relies upon the Collateral as security.
COLLECTION OF COLLATERAL. Lender at Lender's option may, but need not,
collect the Income and Proceeds directly from the Obligors. Grantor
authorizes and directs the Obligors, if Lender decides to collect the Income
and Proceeds, to pay and deliver to Lender all Income and Proceeds from the
Collateral and to accept Lender's receipt for the payments.
POWER OF ATTORNEY. Grantor irrevocably appoints Lender as Grantor's
attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, (a) to demand, collect,
receive, receipt for, ▇▇▇ and recover all Income and Proceeds and other sums
of money and other property which may now or hereafter become due, owing or
payable from the Obligors in accordance with the terms of the Collateral;
(b) to execute, sign and endorse any and all instruments, receipts, checks,
drafts and warrants issued in payment for the Collateral; (c) to settle or
compromise any and all claims arising under the Collateral, and in the place
and stead of Grantor, execute and deliver Grantor's release and acquittance
for Grantor; (d) to file any claim or claims or to take any action or
institute or take part in any proceedings, either in Lender's own name or in
the name of Grantor, or otherwise, which in the discretion of Lender may
seem to be necessary or advisable; and (e) to execute in Grantor's name and
to deliver to the Obligors on Grantor's behalf, at the time and in the
manner specified by the Collateral, any necessary instruments or documents.
PERFECTION OF SECURITY INTEREST. Upon Lender's request, Grantor will deliver
to Lender any and all of the documents evidencing or constituting the
Collateral. When applicable law provides more than one method of perfection
of Lender's security interest, Lender may choose the method(s) to be used.
Upon Lender's request, Grantor will sign and deliver any writings necessary
to perfect Lender's security interest. If any of the Collateral consists of
securities for which no certificate has been issued, Grantor agrees, at
Lender's option, either to request issuance of an appropriate certificate or
to execute appropriate instructions on Lender's forms instructing the
issuer, transfer agent, mutual fund company, or broker, as the case may be,
to record on its books or records, by book-entry or otherwise, Lender's
security interest in the Collateral. Grantor hereby appoints Lender as
Grantor's irrevocable attorney-in-fact for the purpose of executing any
documents necessary to perfect, amend, or to continue the security interest
granted in this Agreement or to demand termination of filings of other
secured parties. THIS IS A CONTINUING SECURITY AGREEMENT AND WILL CONTINUE
IN EFFECT EVEN THOUGH ALL OR ANY PART OF THE INDEBTEDNESS IS PAID IN FULL
AND EVEN THOUGH FOR A PERIOD OF TIME GRANTOR MAY NOT BE INDEBTED TO LENDER.
LENDER'S EXPENDITURES. If any action or proceeding is commenced that would
materially affect Lender's interest in the Collateral or if Grantor fails to
comply with any provision of this Agreement or any Related Documents, including
but not limited to Grantor's failure to discharge or pay when due any amounts
Grantor is required to discharge or pay under this Agreement or any Related
Documents, Lender on Grantor's behalf may (but shall not be obligated to) take
any action that Lender deems appropriate, including but not limited to
discharging or paying all taxes, liens, security interests, encumbrances and
other claims, at any time levied or placed on the Collateral and paying all
costs for insuring, maintaining and preserving the Collateral. All such
expenditures incurred or paid by Lender for such purposes will then bear
interest at the rate charged under the Note from the date incurred or paid by
Lender to the date of repayment by Grantor. All such expenses will become a
part of the Indebtedness and, at Lender's option, will (A) be payable on demand;
(B) be added to the balance of the Note and be apportioned among and be
payable with any installment payments to become due during either (1) the term
of any applicable insurance policy; or (2) the remaining term of the Note; or
(C) be treated as a balloon payment which will be due and payable at the Note's
maturity. The Agreement also will secure payment of these amounts. Such right
shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies to which Lender may be
entitled upon Default.
LIMITATIONS ON OBLIGATIONS OF LENDER. Lender shall use ordinary reasonable care
in the physical preservation and custody of the Collateral in Lender's
possession, but shall have no other obligation to protect the Collateral or its
value. In particular, but without limitation, Lender shall have no
responsibility for (A) any depreciation in value of the Collateral or for the
collection or protection of any Income and Proceeds from the Collateral, (B)
preservation of rights against parties to the Collateral or against third
persons, (C) ascertaining any maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges, offers,
tenders, or similar matters relating to any of the Collateral, or (D) informing
Grantor about any of the above, whether or not Lender has or is deemed to have
knowledge of such matters. Except as provided above, Lender shall have no
liability for depreciation or deterioration of the Collateral.
DEFAULT. Default will occur if payment in full is not made immediately when due.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT. If Default occurs under this Agreement, at any
time thereafter, Lender may exercise any one or more of the following rights
and remedies:
ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS. Declare all Indebtedness, including any prepayment
penalty which Grantor would be required to pay, immediately due and
payable, without notice of any kind to Grantor.
COLLECT THE COLLATERAL. Collect any of the Collateral and, at Lender's
option and to the extent permitted by applicable law, retain possession of
the Collateral while suing on the Indebtedness.
SELL THE COLLATERAL. Sell the Collateral, at Lender's discretion, as a unit
or in parcels, at one or more public or private sales. Unless the
Collateral is perishable or threatens to decline speedily in value or is of
a type customarily sold on a recognized market, Lender shall give or mail
to Grantor, and other persons as required by law, notice at least ten (10)
days in advance of the time and place of any public sale, or of the time
after which any private sale may be made. However, no notice need be
provided to any person who, after Default occurs, enters into and
authenticates an agreement waiving that person's right to notification of
sale. Grantor agrees that any requirement of reasonable notice as to
Grantor is satisfied if Lender mails notice by ordinary mail addressed to
Grantor at the last address Grantor has given Lender in writing. If a
public sale is held, there shall be sufficient compliance with all
requirements of notice to the public by a single publication in any
newspaper of general circulation in the county where the Collateral is
located, setting forth the time and place of sale and a brief description
of the property to be sold. Lender may be a purchaser at any public sale.
SELL SECURITIES. Sell any securities included in the Collateral in a manner
consistent with applicable federal and state securities laws. If, because
of restrictions under such laws, Lender is unable, or believes Lender is
unable, to sell the securities in an open market transaction, Grantor
agrees that Lender will have no obligation to delay sale until the
securities can be registered. Then Lender may make a private sale to one or
more persons or to a restricted group of persons, even though such sale may
result in a price that is less favorable than might be obtained in an open
market transaction. Such a sale will be considered commercially reasonable.
If any securities held as Collateral are "restricted securities" as defined
in the Rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (such as Regulation
D or Rule 144) or the rules of
COMMERCIAL PLEDGE AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 1928 (CONTINUED) PAGE 3
state securities departments under state "Blue Sky" laws, or if Grantor or
any other owner of the Collateral is an affiliate of the issuer of the
securities, Grantor agrees that neither Grantor, nor any member of
Grantor's family, nor any other person signing this Agreement will sell or
dispose of any securities of such issuer without obtaining Lender's prior
written consent.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENT PROPERTY, FINANCIAL ASSETS
AND RELATED COLLATERAL. In addition to other rights and remedies granted
under this Agreement and under applicable law, Lender may exercise any or
all of the following rights and remedies: (1) register with any issuer or
broker or other securities intermediary any of the Collateral consisting of
investment property or financial assets (collectively herein, "investment
property") in Lender's sole name or in the name of Lender's broker, agent
or nominee; (2) cause any issuer, broker or other securities intermediary
to deliver to Lender any of the Collateral consisting of securities, or
investment property capable of being delivered; (3) enter into a control
agreement or power of attorney with any issuer or securities intermediary
with respect to any Collateral consisting of investment property, on such
terms as Lender may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, including
without limitation, an agreement granting to Lender any of the rights
provided hereunder without further notice to or consent by Grantor; (4)
execute any such control agreement on Grantor's behalf and in Grantor's
name, and hereby irrevocably appoints Lender as agent and attorney-in-fact,
coupled with an interest, for the purpose of executing such control
agreement on Grantor's behalf; (5) exercise any and all rights of Lender
under any such control agreement or power of attorney; (6) exercise any
voting, conversion, registration, purchase, option, or other rights with
respect to any Collateral; (7) collect, with or without legal action, and
issue receipts concerning any notes, checks, drafts, remittances or
distributions that are paid or payable with respect to any Collateral
consisting of investment property. Any control agreement entered with
respect to any investment property shall contain the following provisions,
at Lender's discretion. Lender shall be authorized to instruct the issuer,
broker or other securities intermediary to take or to refrain from taking
such actions with respect to the investment property as Lender may
instruct, without further notice to or consent by Grantor. Such actions may
include without limitation the issuance of entitlement orders, account
instructions, general trading or buy or sell orders, transfer and
redemption orders, and stop loss orders. Lender shall be further entitled
to instruct the issuer, broker or securities intermediary to sell or to
liquidate any investment property, or to pay the cash surrender or account
termination value with respect to any and all investment property, and to
deliver all such payments and liquidation proceeds to Lender. Any such
control agreement shall contain such authorizations as are necessary to
place Lender in "control" of such investment collateral, as contemplated
under the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code, and shall fully
authorize Lender to issue "entitlement orders" concerning the transfer,
redemption, liquidation or disposition of investment collateral, in
conformance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code.
FORECLOSURE. Maintain a judicial suit for foreclosure and sale of the
Collateral.
TRANSFER TITLE. Effect transfer of title upon sale of all or part of the
Collateral. For this purpose, Grantor irrevocably appoints Lender as
Grantor's attorney-in-fact to execute endorsements, assignments and
instruments in the name of Grantor and each of them (if more than one) as
shall be necessary or reasonable.
OTHER RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. Have and exercise any or all of the rights and
remedies of a secured creditor under the provisions of the Uniform
Commercial Code, at law, in equity, or otherwise.
APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Apply any cash which is part of the Collateral, or
which is received from the collection or sale of the Collateral, to
reimbursement of any expenses, including any costs for registration of
securities, commissions incurred in connection with a sale, reasonable
attorneys' fees and court costs, whether or not there is a lawsuit and
including any fees on appeal, incurred by Lender in connection with the
collection and sale of such Collateral and to the payment of the
Indebtedness of Grantor to Lender, with any excess funds to be paid to
Grantor as the interests of Grantor may appear. Grantor agrees, to the
extent permitted by law, to pay any deficiency after application of the
proceeds of the Collateral to the Indebtedness.
ELECTION OF REMEDIES. Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of
Lender's rights and remedies, whether evidenced by this Agreement, the
Related Documents, or by any other writing, shall be cumulative and may be
exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any
remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to
make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Grantor
under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure to perform, shall not affect
Lender's right to declare a default and exercise its remedies.
PROVISION #1. Bank to maintain a positive ROA and Tier 1 capital of at least 7%
as of the end of each calendar quarter.
PROVISION #2. Receipt of the audited consolidated and consolidating financial

COMMERCIAL PLEDGE AGREEMENT
LOAN NO: 1928 (CONTINUED) PAGE 4
NO WAIVER BY LENDER. Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any rights
under this Agreement unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by
Lender. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right
shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by
Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a
waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that
provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by
Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Grantor, shall
constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Grantor's
obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender
is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in
any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent
instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may
be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.
NOTICES. Any notice required to be given under this Agreement shall be
