NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual

The fee shall be computed based upon EFA Gross Margin as of

commencing on the date hereof and expiring on January 1, 2014

of its term (i) in the event that Enterbank or Bank shall
be subject to a Change in Control and Enterbank pays to
MGIA the compensation set forth in the Section 4(b), or
(ii) at the election of Enterbank or Bank after the grant
by Enterbank of Termination Options to MGIA as determined
in accordance with Section 5(c).
(ii) the expiration of this Agreement at the end of the term or
otherwise shall not relieve Bank of its obligation to
determine the EFA Gross Margin for the final accounting
period of this Agreement or the obligation of Enterbank to
pay compensation to MGIA or issue options in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement with respect to such
final accounting period.
(iii) the expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not

and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors
and permitted assigns.
