Statement Regarding    
Forward-Looking Information
     The information disclosed in this document includes various forward-looking statements that are
made in reliance upon the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1994
with respect to credit quality (including delinquency trends and the allowance for loan and lease losses),
corporate objectives, and other financial and business matters.  The words “anticipates”, “projects”,
“intends”, “estimates”, “ expects”, “believes”, “plans”, “may”, “will”, “should”, “could”, and other similar
expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and
speak only as of the date made, and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks, and uncertainties, all
of which may change over time.  Actual results could differ materially from such forward-looking
statements.
     In addition to the risk factors disclosed elsewhere in this document, the following factors, among
others, could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially and adversely from such forward-
looking statements: changes in the financial services industry and the U.S. and global capital markets,
changes in economic conditions nationally, regionally and in the Company’s markets, the nature and
timing of actions of the Federal Reserve Board and other regulators, the nature and timing of legislature
affecting the financial services industry, government intervention in the U.S. financial system, passage
by the U.S. Congress of legislation which unilaterally amends the terms of the U.S. Department of the
Treasury’s preferred stock investment in the Company, changes in the levels of market interest rates,
pricing pressures of the loan and deposit products, credit risks of the Company’s lending and leasing
activities, customers’ acceptance of the Company’s products and services competition.  
     The above-listed risk factors are not necessarily exhaustive, particularly as to possible future events,
and new risk factors may emerge from time to time.  Certain events may occur that could cause the
Company’s actual results to be materially different than those described in the Company’s periodic
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Any statements made by the Company that are
not historical facts should be considered to be forward-looking statements.  The Company is not
obligated to update and does not undertake to update any of its forward-looking statements made
herein.
