INSTRUCTIONS

1. Persons required to file statements. A statement on this form is required to be filed by every person who at any time during any calendar month was (i) directly or indirectly the beneficial owner of more than 10 percent of any class of equity securities of a bank registered pursuant to section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the Act) or (ii) a director or officer of the bank which is the issuer of such securities, and who during such month had any change in the nature or amount of his beneficial ownership of any class of equity securities of such bank. The term "officer" means a Chairman of the Board of Directors, Vice Chairman of the Board, Chairman of the Executive Committee, President, Vice President (except as indicated in the next sentence), Cashier, Treasurer, Secretary, Comptroller, and any other person who participates in major policy-making functions of the bank. In same banks (particularly banks with officers bearing titles such as Executive Vice President, Senior Vice President, or First Vice President, as well as a number of "Vice Presidents"), some or all "Vice Presidents" do not participate in major policy-making functions, and such persons are not officers for the purpose of this statement.

2. When statements are to be filed. Statements are required to be filed on or before the 10th day after the end of each calendar month in which any change in the nature or amount of beneficial ownership has occurred. Statements are not deemed to have been filed with the Board or an exchange until they have actually been received by the Board or such exchange.

3. Where statements are to be filed. One signed copy of each statement shall be filed with the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, Washington, D.C. 20551. One signed copy thereof shall also be filed with each exchange on which any class of equity securities of the bank is listed. However, if such bank has, in accordance with § 206.6 (a)(3) of Regulation F, designated a single exchange to receive statements, the statement need only be filed with the Board and the designated exchange.

4. Separate statement for each bank. A separate statement shall be filed with respect to the equity securities of each bank.

5. Relationship of reporting person to bank. Indicate clearly the relationship of the reporting person to the bank; for example, "Director", "Director and Vice Presidnet", "Beneficial owner of more than 10 percent of the bank's common stock", etc.

6. Transactions and holdings to be reported. Persons required to file statements on this form shall include in their statements all changes during the calendar month in their beneficial ownership, and their beneficial ownership at the end of the month, of all classes of equity securities of the bank, even though one or more of such classes may not be registered pursuant to section 12 of the Act.

Every change in beneficial ownership shall be reported even though purchases and sales during the month are equal or the change involves only the nature of beneficial ownership (for example, from direct to indirect ownership or from one type of indirect ownership to another). Beneficial ownership at the end of the month of classes of equity securities of the bank shall be shown even though there has been no reportable change during the month in the ownership of equity securities of a particular class.

7. Reporting of Transactions. (a) When a transaction relates to the acquisition or disposition of two or more securities as a unit, such as debentures and transferable warrants to purchase common stock of the bank, report each security separately and describe the unit relationship in the space provided for explanation on page 2 of the form. If one or more of the securities comprising the unit is not required to be reported, the other security or securities shall be reported separately and the unit relationship described as indicated above.

(b) In reporting the acquisition or disposition of a convertible security or a transferable warrant, the number of shares or units subject to the conversion privilege or warrant and the conversion or exercise price per share or unit shall be set forth in the explanation space on page 2. When a convertible security is converted or a warrant is exercised, the amount of securities acquired as a result of such conversion or exercise shall be reported and, in addition, the disposition of the convertible security or warrant shall be reported as a separate transaction.

(c) Securities owned indirectly shall be reported on separate lines from those owned directly and also from those owned through a different type of indirect ownership.

(d) The acquisition, disposition, exercise, or expiration or cancellation of a put, call, option or other right or obligation to buy or sell securities (all hereinafter referred to as "options") is deemed to effect a change in beneficial ownership of the security to which the option relates and shall be reported in Table II. If the option is exercised, the transaction shall be reported in Table II and the acquisition or disposition of the security subject to the option shall be reported in Table I. Transferable warrants issued by the issuer of the security subject to the warrants shall be reported in Table I (in

which case the exercise price and date of expiration of the warrant shall be reported in the explanation space on page 2).

8. Title of equity security. The statement of the title of an equity security should clearly distinguish it from any securities of other classes issued by the bank.

9. Date of transaction. The exact date (month, date, and year) of each transaction shall be stated opposite the amount involved in the transaction. In the case of market transactions, the trade date shall be given and in the case of stock splits, stock dividends, etc., the record date shall be given.

10. Statement of amounts of equity securities. In stating the amount of equity securities acquired, disposed of, or beneficially owned, give the face amount of convertible debt securities or the number of shares of stock or other units of other securities. In the case of equity securities owned indirectly, the entire amount of equity securities involved in the transaction or owned by the partnership, corporation, trust, or other entity shall be stated. The person whose ownership is reported may, if he so desires, also indicate in a footnote or other appropriate manner, the extent of his interests in the transaction or holdings of the partnership, corporation, trust or other entity.

11. Nature of ownership of securities— Table I. (a) In reporting the nature of ownership of securities on Columns 5 and 9 of Table 1, if the securities are owned directly, so state. If they are owned indirectly, state the nature of such indirect ownership; for example, "By self as trustee for sons", "By wife", "By X Trust", "By Y Corporation" etc. If the securities are owned directly and other securities are owned indirectly, the required information shall be furnished separately for each type of ownership, see Instruction 7(c) above. Securities held as joint tenants, tenants in common, tenants by the entirety or as community property are to be reported as held directly.

(b) Beneficially owned securities held in the name of the reporting person or in the name of a bank, broker or nominee for the account of the reporting person shall be reported as directly owned by him. A person is regarded as the indirect beneficial owner of securities held in the name of another person if by reason of any contract, understanding, relationship, including a family relationship, or arrangement, such person obtains therefrom benefits substantially equivalent to those of ownership. For example, a person may be the indirect beneficial owner of securities held in the name of a Spouse, a relative or other person if such person may obtain therefrom benefits substantially equivalent to those of ownership.

A person may also be the indirect beneficial owner of securities held in the name of a partnership, corporation, trust or other

entity if such person or a spouse or relative of such person, individually or collectively, may exercise a controlling influence over the purchase, sale or voting of such securities.

12. Character of transaction. If the transaction in equity securities was with the bank, so state. If it involved the purchase of equity securities through the exercise of warrants or options, so state, give the termination date of the option or warrant, and give the exercise price per share. If any other purchase or sale was effected otherwise than in the open market, that fact shall be indicated. If the transaction was not a purchase or sale, indicate its character; for example, gift or stock dividend, stock split, or other type of pro rata distribution, etc., as the case may be. The foregoing information may be appropriately set forth in the table or under "Remarks" below the table.

13. Purchase or sale price of securities. (a) If any transaction reported in Table I involved a purchase or sale of securities for cash or obligation to pay cash, including the exercise of an option, state in Column 7 the purchase price per share or other unit, exclusive of brokerage commissions or other costs of execution. If the transaction was only partly for cash and partly for other consideration, state the amount of cash per share or other unit and the nature of the additional consideration. Column 7 need not be answered for transactions not involving cash.

(b) When two or more securities are purchased or sold as a unit (see Instruction 7(a) above), the purchase or sale, price of the unit shall be stated opposite one of the securities and cross-referred to opposite the other security or securities.

(c) If an option reported in Table II is exercisable at varying increasing prices, state in Column 7 of that table the price at which it is presently exercisable.

14. Puts, calls, options and other RightsTable II.

The terms "put" and "call" on Table II include, in addition to separate puts and calls, any combination of the two, such as spreads, straddles, strips and straps. In reporting the nature of the option in Column 4 of Table II, state whether it represents a right to buy, a right to sell, an obligation to buy or an obligation to sell, the securities subject to the option.

15. Inclusion of additional information. A statement may include an additional information or explanation deemed relevant by the person filing the statement.

16. Signature. If the statement is filed for a corporation, partnership, trust, etc., the name of the organization shall appear over the signature of the officer or other person authorized to sign the statement. If the

statement is filed for an individual, it shall be signed by him or specifically on his behalf by a person authorized to sign for him. If signed on his behalf by another person, the authority of such person to sign the statement shall be confirmed to the Commission in writing as soon as practicable by the individual for whom the statement is filed, unless such a confirmation which is still in effect is on file with the Commission.
