level and composition of deposits, loan demand, liquidity and the values of loan collateral, securities, and interest sensitive

commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance
companies, money market and other mutual funds and other financial institutions operating in our market areas and elsewhere, including
institutions operating regionally, nationally and internationally, together with such competitors offering banking products and

the costs of integrating operations; the risks that the businesses will not be integrated successfully or that such integration
may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the potential failure to fully or timely realize expected revenues
and revenue synergies, including as the result of revenues following the merger being lower than expected; the risk of deposit
and customer attrition; any changes in deposit mix; unexpected operating and other costs, which may differ or change from expectations;
the risks of customer and employee loss and business disruption, including, without limitation, as the result of difficulties in
maintaining relationships with employees; increased competitive pressures and solicitations of customers by competitors; as well

contain "forward-looking statements"
within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including,

intentions, and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may be beyond our control, and which may

You can
identify these forward-looking statements through our use of words such as "may," "will," "anticipate,"
"assume," "should," "support", "indicate," "would," "believe,"
"contemplate," "expect," "estimate," "continue," "further", "point
to," "project," "could," "intend" or other similar words and expressions of the future.
These forward-looking statements may not be realized due to a variety of factors, including, without limitation: the effects of
future economic and market conditions, including seasonality; governmental monetary and fiscal policies, as well as legislative,
tax and regulatory changes; changes in accounting policies, rules and practices; the risks of changes in interest rates on the
level and composition of deposits, loan demand, liquidity and the values of loan collateral, securities, and interest sensitive
assets and liabilities; interest rate risks, sensitivities and the shape of the yield curve; the effects of competition from other
commercial banks, thrifts, mortgage banking firms, consumer finance companies, credit unions, securities brokerage firms, insurance
companies, money market and other mutual funds and other financial institutions operating in our market areas and elsewhere, including
institutions operating regionally, nationally and internationally, together with such competitors offering banking products and
services by mail, telephone, computer and the Internet; and the failure of assumptions underlying the establishment of reserves
for possible loan losses. The risks of mergers and acquisitions, include, without limitation: unexpected transaction costs, including
the costs of integrating operations; the risks that the businesses will not be integrated successfully or that such integration
may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; the potential failure to fully or timely realize expected revenues
and revenue synergies, including as the result of revenues following the merger being lower than expected; the risk of deposit
and customer attrition; any changes in deposit mix; unexpected operating and other costs, which may differ or change from expectations;
the risks of customer and employee loss and business disruption, including, without limitation, as the result of difficulties in
maintaining relationships with employees; increased competitive pressures and solicitations of customers by competitors; as well
as the difficulties and risks inherent with entering new markets.
All written
or oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by this cautionary notice, including,
without limitation, those risks and uncertainties described in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010
under "Special Cautionary Notice Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors", and otherwise
in our SEC reports and filings. Such reports are available upon request from the Company, or from the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including through the SEC's Internet website at http://www.sec.gov.
