its capital stock.

in full.

on the trust preferred securities and

trust preferred securities.
The obligations
of the Company under the two junior subordinated notes, the trust agreements establishing
the two trusts, the guarantee and
agreement as to expenses and liabilities, in aggregate, constitute a full and unconditional
guarantee by the Company of the two
trusts’ obligations under the two trust preferred security issuances.

I and CCBG Capital Trust II are not included
in the Company’s
consolidated financial statements, the $

31.0
million, respectively, in
trust preferred securities issued by these
subsidiary trusts are included in the Tier 1 Capital of
