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

"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/A for the year ended December 31, 2011 under "Special Cautionary
