REMEDIES OF THE INVESTOR UPON BREACH

Section 5.1 Rate Reductions in the Event of Breaches and Violations. If Treasury determines, in its sole discretion, that the Recipient has breached, violated or defaulted under (i) any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Recipient included in this Agreement or the Preferred Shares, (ii) Section 104A of the Community Development Banking Act or the ECIP Interim Final Rule, or (iii) any additional rules or regulations established in connection with ECIP that further the purposes of Section 104A of the Community Development Banking Act , Treasury may, in its sole discretion, determine that the Recipient shall not be eligible for any rate reduction with respect to the Preferred Shares for such period as Treasury, in its sole discretion, shall

-23-

determine. Any such determination shall cause the applicable dividend rate of the Preferred Stock to reset as specified in the Certificate of Designations. Treasury shall provide notice to the Recipient of any determination with respect to the Recipient’s disqualification from eligibility for rate reductions or the termination of any such disqualification; provided that any failure by Treasury to provide notice of any such determination or defect in such notice or the transmission thereof shall not affect or prejudice Treasury’s rights or remedies under this Section 5.1 or the Preferred Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a determination by the Recipient not to declare dividends for any dividend period or a default in the payment of dividends that have been declared shall not be subject to this Section 5.1.

Section 5.2 Recipient Breach, Violation or Default.

(a)If Treasury determines, in its sole discretion, that the Recipient or an Affiliate of the Recipient has breached, violated or defaulted under (i) any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Recipient or an Affiliate of the Recipient included in this Agreement or the Preferred Shares, (ii) Section 104A of the Community Development Banking Act or the ECIP Interim Final Rule, or (iii) any additional rules or regulations established in connection with ECIP that further the purposes of Section 104A of the Community Development Banking Act, Treasury may, in its sole discretion, report such breach, violation or default to the CDFI Fund or other entities within or affiliated with Treasury. The Recipient acknowledges that any such report of a breach, violation or default may result in the Recipient becoming ineligible for awards or programs offered by the CDFI Fund or other entities within or affiliated with Treasury at that time or in the future in accordance with the terms and conditions of such awards or programs offered by the CDFI Fund or other entities within or affiliated with Treasury.

(b)The restrictions on, and notice requirement with respect to, the transferability of the Preferred Stock set forth in Section 6.3(a)(v) shall cease to apply if Treasury determines, in its sole discretion, that the Recipient or an Affiliate of the Recipient has breached, violated or defaulted under (i) any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Recipient or an Affiliate of the Recipient included in this Agreement or the Preferred Shares, (ii) Section 104A of the Community Development Banking Act or the ECIP Interim Final Rule, or (iii) any additional rules or regulations established in connection with ECIP that further the purposes of Section 104A of the Community Development Banking Act.

Section 5.3 Additional Remedies.

(a) If Treasury determines, in its sole discretion, that the Recipient or an Affiliate of the Recipient has breached, violated or defaulted under (i) any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Recipient or an Affiliate of the Recipient included in this Agreement or the Preferred Shares, (ii) Section 104A of the Community Development Banking Act or the ECIP Interim Final Rule, or (iii) any additional rules or regulations established in connection with ECIP that further the purposes of Section 104A of the Community Development Banking Act, Treasury may propose a remedy that Treasury determines, in its sole discretion, is proportional to the breach, violation or default. If Treasury makes such a determination and proposes a remedy under this Section 5.3(a), Treasury shall notify the Recipient in writing of its proposed determination of a breach, violation or default, provide an explanation of the nature of the breach, violation or default, and specify the proposed remedy. Upon receipt of such notice, the Recipient shall, within seven (7) days, accept

-24-

Treasury’s proposed remedy, propose an alternative remedy, or provide information and documentation contesting Treasury’s proposed determination. Treasury shall consider any such submission by the Recipient and make a final written determination, which will state Treasury’s findings regarding the breach, violation or default and the remedy to be imposed.

(b)If Treasury makes a final determination under Section 5.3(a) that a breach, violation or default has occurred, Treasury may, in its sole discretion, require additional reporting or monitoring; initiate suspension or debarment proceedings as authorized under 2 C.F.R. Part 180; or take any such other action as Treasury, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate and determines, in its sole discretion, to be proportional to the breach, violation or default; provided, however, that Treasury shall not require the Preferred Shares to be redeemed as a remedy under this Section 5.3 and such redemption shall be governed exclusively by the terms and conditions set forth in the Certificate of Designations.

(c)Treasury may make a final determination regarding a breach, violation or default without regard to Section 5.3(a) if Treasury determines, in its sole discretion, that such determination is necessary to protect a material interest of the federal government. In such event, Treasury shall notify the Recipient of the remedy that Treasury, in its sole discretion, shall impose, after which the Recipient may contest Treasury’s final determination or propose an alternative remedy in writing to Treasury. Following the receipt of such a submission by the Recipient, Treasury may, in its sole discretion, maintain or alter its final determination.

(d)Instead of, or in addition to, the remedies listed above, Treasury may refer any breach, violation or default or any allegations of fraud, waste, or abuse to the Inspector General of the Treasury.

(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing, a determination by the Recipient not to declare dividends or a default in the payment of dividends that have been declared for any dividend period shall not be subject to this Section 5.3.

If the Recipient is a Bank Holding Company, Savings and Loan Holding Company, national bank or federal savings association:

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE NOT SAVINGS ACCOUNTS, DEPOSITS OR OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF A BANK AND ARE NOT INSURED BY THE FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE, OR (IF THE ISSUER IS A NATIONAL BANK OR FEDERAL SAVINGS ASSOCIATION) PART 16 OF THE REGULATIONS OF THE OFFICE OF THE COMPTROLLER OF THE CURRENCY (“PART 16”) AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT WHILE A REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATING THERETO IS IN EFFECT UNDER SUCH ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND PART 16 (IF APPLICABLE) OR PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER SUCH ACT OR SUCH LAWS OR SUCH REGULATIONS, AS APPLICABLE.

ANY TRANSFEREE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF (1) REPRESENTS THAT IT IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” (AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT), (2) AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT OFFER, SELL OR OTHERWISE TRANSFER THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT EXCEPT (A) PURSUANT TO A REGISTRATION STATEMENT WHICH IS THEN EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PART 16, AS APPLICABLE, (B) FOR SO LONG AS THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE ELIGIBLE FOR RESALE PURSUANT TO RULE 144A, TO A PERSON IT REASONABLY BELIEVES IS A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT THAT PURCHASES FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER TO WHOM NOTICE IS GIVEN THAT THE TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A (IF THE ISSUER IS A NATIONAL BANK OR FEDERAL SAVINGS ASSOCIATION, AS INCORPORATED INTO PART 16), (C) TO THE ISSUER OR (D) PURSUANT TO ANY OTHER AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS

-26-

OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND PART 16, AS APPLICABLE AND (3) AGREES THAT IT WILL GIVE TO EACH PERSON TO WHOM THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT ARE TRANSFERRED A NOTICE SUBSTANTIALLY TO THE EFFECT OF THIS LEGEND.

“THIS INSTRUMENT IS ISSUED SUBJECT TO THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER PROVISIONS OF A SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE ISSUER OF THESE SECURITIES AND THE INVESTOR REFERRED TO THEREIN, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE ISSUER. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAID AGREEMENT. ANY SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER NOT IN COMPLIANCE WITH SAID AGREEMENT WILL BE VOID.”

If the Recipient is a state-chartered bank or savings association:

(b) In the event that any Preferred Shares (i) become registered under the Securities Act (or, if applicable, Part 16) or (ii) are eligible to be transferred without restriction in accordance with Rule 144 or another exemption from registration under the Securities Act (other than Rule 144A) (or, if applicable, Part 16), the Recipient shall issue new certificates or other instruments representing such Preferred Shares, which shall not contain the applicable legends in Section 6.2(a) above; provided that the Investor surrenders to the Recipient the previously issued certificates or other instruments.

Section 6.3 Transfer of Preferred Shares.

(a) Subject to compliance with applicable law, the Investor (and any investment vehicles established and used by the Investor to purchase, hold, and sell Preferred Shares) shall be permitted to transfer, sell, assign or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) all or a portion of the Preferred Shares at any time and from time to time, and the Recipient shall take all steps as

-27-

may be reasonably requested by the Investor to facilitate the sale of the Preferred Shares, including, as set forth in Section 6.4, provided that:

(i)The Investor shall not Transfer any Preferred Shares if such Transfer would (A) require the Recipient to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the Recipient was not already subject to such requirements or (B) if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association, require the Recipient to register the securities under Part 16;

(ii)Prior to the sale of all or a portion of the Preferred Shares by the Investor to a third party, the Investor shall deliver to the Recipient a notice (“ROFR Notice”) setting forth the number of Preferred Shares proposed to be sold (the “Offered Shares”) and the cash purchase price per Preferred Share (which shall reflect a valuation of the Preferred Shares to be sold determined by an independent third party) (the “Offer Price”) and other terms and conditions on which the Investor proposes to sell the Offered Shares. Within ten (10) days from the date the Investor delivers the ROFR Notice to the Recipient (the “Review Period”), the Recipient shall deliver to the Investor a written notice (a “Response Notice”) stating whether it elects to purchase all the Offered Shares and irrevocably offering to purchase such number of Offered Shares on the terms contained in the ROFR Notice, which purchase shall, as applicable, be conditional upon receipt of prior approval from the Recipient’s Appropriate Federal Banking Agency. If the Recipient does not deliver a Response Notice in accordance with this Section 6.3(a)(ii) prior to the expiration of the Review Period, then the Recipient will be deemed to have elected not to exercise the right of first refusal specified in the ROFR Notice and the Investor shall be free to sell the Offered Shares to a third party on the terms reflected in the ROFR Notice;

(iii)The Investor shall not sell more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the outstanding equity interests of the Recipient to a single third party without the Recipient’s consent, which may not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld;

(iv)With the prior consent of the Recipient (which may not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld), the Investor may Transfer all or a portion of the Preferred Shares for no consideration or for a de minimis amount to a mission-aligned nonprofit Affiliate of an Eligible Financial Institution participating in the ECIP that is an Insured CDFI (an “Eligible Nonprofit”); and

(v)Subject to Section 5.2(b), the Investor shall not sell the Preferred Shares to a third party (other than to an Eligible Nonprofit) prior to the Tenth Anniversary without the prior consent of the Recipient (which may not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld). In addition, subject to Section 5.2(b), the Investor shall provide the Recipient eighteen (18) months’ advance notice of the Investor’s intent to Transfer the Preferred Shares to a third party other than an Eligible Nonprofit.

(b) In furtherance of the foregoing, the Recipient shall provide reasonable cooperation to facilitate any Transfers of the Preferred Shares, including, as is reasonable under the circumstances, by furnishing such information concerning the Recipient and its business as a proposed transferee may reasonably request and making management of the Recipient reasonably

-28-

available to respond to questions of a proposed transferee in accordance with customary practice, subject in all cases to the proposed transferee agreeing to a customary confidentiality agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “third party” as used in this Section 6.3 shall not refer to an investment vehicle or other entity controlled by the Investor, or to any Affiliate of the Investor.

Section 6.4 Rule 144; Rule 144A; 4(a)(11/2) Transactions.

(a)At all times after the Signing Date, the Recipient covenants that (1) it will, upon the request of the Investor or any subsequent holders of the Preferred Shares (“Holders”), use its reasonable best efforts to (x), to the extent any Holder is relying on Rule 144 under the Securities Act to sell any of the Preferred Shares (including, in the case of a Recipient that is a national bank or federal savings association, as Rule 144 is incorporated into Part 16), make “current public information” available, as provided in Section (c)(1) of Rule 144 (if the Recipient is a “Reporting Issuer” within the meaning of Rule 144) or in Section (c)(2) of Rule 144 (if the Recipient is a “Non-Reporting Issuer” within the meaning of Rule 144), in either case for such time period as necessary to permit sales pursuant to Rule 144, (y), to the extent any Holder is relying on the so-called “Section 4(a)(11/2)” exemption to sell any of its Preferred Shares, prepare and provide to such Holder such information, including the preparation of private offering memoranda or circulars or financial information, as the Holder may reasonably request to enable the sale of the Preferred Shares pursuant to such exemption, or (z) to the extent any Holder is relying on Rule 144A under the Securities Act (including, in the case of a Recipient that is a national bank or federal savings association, as such Rule is incorporated into Part 16) to sell any of its Preferred Shares, prepare and provide to such Holder the information required pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4), and (2) it will take such further action as any Holder may reasonably request from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Preferred Shares without registration under the Securities Act (or, in the case of a Recipient that is a national bank or federal savings association, under Part 16) within the limitations of the exemptions provided by (i) the provisions of the Securities Act or any interpretations thereof or related thereto by the SEC, including transactions based on the so-called “Section 4(a)(11/2)” and other similar transactions, (ii) Rule 144 or Rule 144A under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (iii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC (or, in the case of a Recipient that is a national bank or a federal savings association, as applicable under Part 16); provided that the Recipient shall not be required to take any action described in this Section 6.4(a) that would cause the Recipient to become subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Recipient was not subject to such requirements prior to taking such action. Upon the request of any Holder, the Recipient will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

(b)If the Recipient is a state-chartered bank or savings association, the Investor and Recipient acknowledge that, as of the Signing Date, the offer and sale of the Preferred Shares is a security of an insured depository institution and, accordingly, the transfer of such securities is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and qualification and registration requirements under state law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Preferred Shares are subject to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(2) or Section 3(a)(5) of the Securities Act, the provisions of this Section 6.4 shall be interpreted so as to nonetheless provide a Holder of Preferred Shares with the benefit of the cooperation of the Recipient to facilitate a sale of the Preferred Shares, including the preparation and provision of materials referenced in Section 6.4(a)(1)(y).

-29-

(a)The Recipient agrees to indemnify Investor, Investor’s officials, officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates, and each person, if any, that controls Investor within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnitee”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals incurred in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses), joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any document or report provided by the Recipient pursuant to this Section 6.4 or any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(b)If the indemnification provided for in Section 6.4(c) is unavailable to an Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the Indemnitee harmless as contemplated therein, then the Recipient, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Recipient, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Recipient, on the one hand, and of the Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Recipient or by the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; the Recipient and Investor agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.4(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 6.4(b). No Indemnitee guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from the Recipient if the Recipient was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Section 6.5 Depositary Shares. Upon request by the Investor at any time following the Closing Date, the Recipient shall promptly enter into a depositary arrangement, pursuant to customary agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Investor and with a depositary reasonably acceptable to the Investor, pursuant to which the Preferred Shares may be deposited and depositary shares, each representing a fraction of a Preferred Share, as specified by the Investor, may be issued. From and after the execution of any such depositary arrangement, and the deposit of any Preferred Shares, as applicable, pursuant thereto, the depositary shares issued pursuant thereto shall be deemed “Preferred Shares” and, as applicable, “Registrable Securities” for purposes of this Agreement.

Section 6.6 Expenses and Further Assurances.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, each of the parties hereto will bear and pay all costs and expenses incurred by it or on its behalf in connection with the transactions

-30-

contemplated under this Agreement, including fees and expenses of its own financial or other consultants, investment bankers, accountants and counsel.

(b) The Recipient shall, at the Recipient’s sole cost and expense, (i) furnish to the

Investor all instruments, documents and other agreements required to be furnished by the Recipient pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including any documents required to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.4 above, or which are reasonably requested by the Investor in connection therewith; (ii) execute and deliver to the Investor such documents, instruments, certificates, assignments and other writings, and do such other acts necessary or desirable, to evidence, preserve and/or protect the Preferred Shares purchased by the Investor, as Investor may reasonably require; and (iii) do and execute all and such further lawful and reasonable acts, conveyances and assurances for the better and more effective carrying out of the intents and purposes of this Agreement, as the Investor shall reasonably require from time to time.

Section 6.7 Noncompliance. The Recipient acknowledges and agrees that this

Agreement is entered into under Section 104A of the Community Development Banking Act and that the ECIP Interim Final Rule was promulgated under that Act and, accordingly, where applicable, the enforcement of the provisions of the Agreement and the ECIP Interim Final Rule (and any violations thereof) are subject to 12 U.S.C. § 4717. The Recipient further acknowledges and agrees that the Investor may inform the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency of Recipient’s apparent noncompliance.

More than 400% of the Applicable Investment Amount (in the case of Section 3(a)(ii)(1)) or the Average Applicable Investment Amount (in the case of Section 3(a)(ii)(2))	0.5%	0.5%

(iv)If the Issuer has consummated or consummates a Business Combination, any other merger or consolidation with or acquisition of another entity, since and including, the quarter ended on September 30, 2020, then, with respect to each such transaction, the Baseline shall be increased and, thereafter for each Annual Reset Period, the Baseline shall be the “Adjusted Baseline Qualified Lending” as calculated and set forth on the Applicable Quarterly Supplemental Report submitted to Treasury for the Reset Date relating to such Annual Reset Period. Such Adjusted Baseline Qualified Lending shall also factor into the determination of the Aggregate Baseline, as provided in the instructions for the Quarterly Supplemental Reports.

(v)If the Issuer has consummated or consummates a Business Combination, any other merger or consolidation with or acquisition of another entity that has also issued preferred stock or subordinated debt to Treasury through Treasury’s Emergency Capital Investment Program, the Applicable Investment Amount shall be adjusted to reflect the amount of the preferred stock or subordinated debt, as the case may be, issued by such

A-7

entity to Treasury and, from and after any such Business Combination, or other merger, consolidation or acquisition, the Applicable Investment Amount shall be the “Adjusted Investment Amount” set forth on the Applicable Quarterly Supplemental Report submitted to Treasury for the Reset Date. Such adjustments shall also factor into the determination of the Average Applicable Investment Amount, as provided in the instructions for the Quarterly Supplemental Reports.

(b) Payments.

(i)Holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, on each share of Designated Senior Preferred Stock if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors, but only out of assets legally available therefor, non-cumulative cash dividends with respect to each Dividend Period at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Dividend Rate for such Dividend Period on the Liquidation Amount per share of Designated Senior Preferred Stock, and no more, payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date occurring after the Second Anniversary. In the event that any Dividend Payment Date would otherwise fall on a day that is not a Business Day, that day shall nevertheless be the Dividend Payment Date but the dividend payment due on that date will be postponed to the next day that is a Business Day, and no additional dividends will accrue or be payable as a result of that postponement.

(ii)Dividends that are payable on Designated Senior Preferred Stock with respect to any Dividend Period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

(iii)Any dividends that are payable on Designated Senior Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date will be payable to holders of record of Designated Senior Preferred Stock as they appear on the stock register of the Issuer on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15th calendar day immediately preceding such Dividend Payment Date or such other record date fixed by the Board of Directors that is not more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a “Dividend Record Date”). Any such day that is a Dividend Record Date shall be a Dividend Record Date whether or not such day is a Business Day.

(iv)Holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, securities or other property, other than dividends (if any) declared and payable on Designated Senior Preferred Stock as specified in this Section 3 (subject to the other provisions of the Certificate of Designations). Because the Applicable Dividend Rate from, and including, the Original Issue Date to, but excluding, the Second Anniversary is zero percent (0%) per annum, holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to receive any dividends with respect to any Dividend Period ending on or prior to the Second Anniversary.

(c) Non-Cumulative. Dividends on shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall be non-cumulative. If the Board of Directors does not declare a dividend on the Designated Senior Preferred Stock with respect to any Dividend Period, the holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall have no right to receive any dividend with respect to such Dividend

A-8

Period, and the Issuer shall have no obligation to pay a dividend with respect to such Dividend Period, whether or not dividends are declared for any subsequent Dividend Period with respect to the Designated Senior Preferred Stock.

(d) Priority of Dividends.

(i)So long as any share of Designated Senior Preferred Stock remains outstanding, (x) no dividend or distribution shall be declared or paid on any Junior Stock or Parity Stock (other than dividends payable solely in shares of stock that ranks junior to the Designated Senior Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer), subject to the immediately following paragraph in the case of Dividend Parity Stock, (y) no Junior Stock or Dividend Parity Stock shall be, directly or indirectly, purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, and (z) no monies shall be paid or made available for any sinking fund for the redemption of Junior Stock or Dividend Parity Stock, unless full dividends on all outstanding shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock with respect to the most recently completed Dividend Period have been or are contemporaneously declared and paid (or have been declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside for the benefit of the holders of shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock on the applicable record date) and the Issuer is not in default on its obligation to redeem any shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock that have been called for redemption.

(ii)If the Board of Directors elects to declare only partial instead of full dividends for a dividend payment date and related dividend period (which terms include, in the case of Designated Senior Preferred Stock, the Dividend Payment Dates and Dividend Periods provided for herein) on the shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock or any Dividend Parity Stock, then to the extent permitted by the terms of the Designated Senior Preferred Stock and each outstanding series of Dividend Parity Stock, such partial dividends shall be declared on shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock and Dividend Parity Stock, and dividends so declared shall be paid, as to any such dividend payment date and related dividend period in amounts such that the ratio of the partial dividends declared and paid on each such series to full dividends on each such series is the same. As used in this paragraph, “full dividends” means, as to any Dividend Parity Stock that bears dividends on a cumulative basis, the amount of dividends that would need to be declared and paid to bring such Parity Stock current in dividends, including undeclared dividends for past dividend periods. To the extent a dividend period with respect to the Designated Senior Preferred Stock or any series of Dividend Parity Stock (in either case, the “first series”) coincides with more than one dividend period with respect to another series as applicable (in either case, a “second series”), for purposes of this paragraph the Board of Directors may, to the extent permitted by the terms of each affected series, treat such dividend period for the first series as two or more consecutive dividend periods, none of which coincides with more than one dividend period with respect to the second series, or may treat such dividend period(s) with respect to any Dividend Parity Stock and Dividend Period(s) with respect to the Designated Senior Preferred Stock for purposes of this paragraph in any other manner that it deems to be fair and equitable in order to achieve ratable payments of dividends on such Dividend Parity Stock and the Designated Senior Preferred Stock.

A-9

(iii) Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends (payable in cash, securities or other property) as may be determined by the Board of Directors may be declared and paid on any securities, including Common Stock and other Junior Stock, from time to time out of any funds legally available for such payment, and holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividends.

Section 4. Liquidation Rights.

(a)Voluntary or Involuntary Liquidation. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Issuer, whether voluntary or involuntary, holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive for each share of Designated Senior Preferred Stock, out of the assets of the Issuer or proceeds thereof (whether capital or surplus) available for distribution to stockholders of the Issuer, subject to the rights of any creditors of the Issuer (including, without limitation, general creditors, subordinated debtholders and, if the Issuer is a depository institution, depositors), before any distribution of such assets or proceeds is made to or set aside for the holders of Common Stock and any other stock of the Issuer ranking junior to Designated Senior Preferred Stock as to such distribution, payment in full in an amount equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) the amount of any declared and unpaid dividends (without accumulation of undeclared dividends) on each such share (such amounts collectively, the “Liquidation Preference”).

(b)Partial Payment. If in any distribution described in Section 4(a) above the assets of the Issuer or proceeds thereof are not sufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect to any Liquidation Preference Parity Stock, holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock and the holders of such Liquidation Preference Parity Stock shall share ratably in any such distribution in proportion to the full respective distributions to which they are entitled.

(c)Residual Distributions. If the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full to all holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect to any Liquidation Preference Parity Stock has been paid in full, the holders of other stock of the Issuer shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Issuer (or proceeds thereof) according to their respective rights and preferences.

(d)Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Is Not Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 4(d), the merger or consolidation of the Issuer with any other corporation or other entity, including a merger or consolidation in which the holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock receive cash, securities or other property for their shares, or the sale, lease or exchange (for cash, securities or other property) of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer, shall not constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer.

Section 5. Redemption.

(a) Optional Redemption. The Designated Senior Preferred Stock is perpetual and has no maturity date. The Issuer may, at its option, redeem the shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock (i) in whole or in part, from time to time, on any Dividend Payment Date on or

A-10

after the First Optional Redemption Date, or (ii) in whole but not in part at any time within ninety (90) days following a Regulatory Capital Treatment Event, in each case, at a cash redemption price equal to the Liquidation Amount, together (except as otherwise provided herein) with an amount equal to any dividends that have been declared but not paid prior to the redemption date (but with no amount with respect to any dividends that have not been declared prior to such date). The redemption price for any shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall be payable on the redemption date to the holder of such shares against surrender of the certificate(s) evidencing such shares to the Issuer or its agent, if the shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock are issued in certificated form. Any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a redemption date that occurs subsequent to the record date for a Dividend Payment Date shall not be paid to the holder entitled to receive the redemption price on the redemption date, but rather shall be paid to the holder of record of the redeemed shares on such record date relating to the Dividend Payment Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may not redeem shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock without having received the prior approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency to the extent required under capital rules applicable to the Issuer and without complying with the capital rules applicable to the Issuer.

(b)No Sinking Fund. The Designated Senior Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock will have no right to require redemption or repurchase of any shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock.

(c)Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of the shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the books of the Issuer. Such mailing shall be at least thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days before the date fixed for redemption. Any notice mailed as provided in this Subsection shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to give such notice by mail, or any defect in such notice or in the mailing thereof, to any holder of shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock or any depositary shares representing interests in the Designated Senior Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through The Depository Trust Company or any other similar facility, notice of redemption may be given to the holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock at such time and in any manner permitted by such facility. Each notice of redemption given to a holder shall state: (1) the redemption date; (2) the number of shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder; (3) the redemption price; and (4) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price.

(d)Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of part of the shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall equal at least twenty percent (20%) of the number of originally issued shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock, or all the then-outstanding shares (if the number of shares then outstanding is less than twenty percent (20%) of the number of originally issued shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock) and, in any such case, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata

A-11

or in such other manner as the Board of Directors may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Directors shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time, subject, as provided above, to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency and to the capital adequacy rules applicable to the Issuer. If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate are redeemed, a new certificate shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares without charge to the holder thereof.

(e)Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption has been duly given and if on or before the redemption date specified in the notice all funds necessary for the redemption have been deposited by the Issuer, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, with a bank or trust company doing business in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and having a capital and surplus of at least $500 million and selected by the Board of Directors, so as to be and continue to be available solely therefor, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date dividends shall cease to accrue on all shares so called for redemption, all shares so called for redemption shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights with respect to such shares shall forthwith on such redemption date cease and terminate, except only the right of the holders thereof to receive the amount payable on such redemption from such bank or trust company, without interest. Any funds unclaimed at the end of three (3) years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released to the Issuer, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Issuer for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

(f)Status of Redeemed Shares. Shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock that are redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Issuer shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series (provided that any such cancelled shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than Designated Senior Preferred Stock).

Section 6. Conversion. Holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shares shall have no right to exchange or convert such shares into any other securities.

Section 7. Voting Rights.

(a)General. The holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law.

(b)Board Observation Rights. Whenever, at any time or times, dividends payable on the shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid in full for an aggregate of five (5) Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the Issuer shall invite a representative (a “Preferred Observer”) selected by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, to attend all meetings of the Board of Directors in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, shall give such Preferred Observer copies of all notices, minutes, consents, and other materials that it provides to its directors in connection with such meetings (subject to disclosure limitations under applicable law); provided, that the holders of the Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall not be

A-12

obligated to select a Preferred Observer, nor shall such Preferred Observer, if selected, be obligated to attend any meeting to which he/she is invited. The rights of the holders of the Designated Senior Preferred Stock set forth in this Section 7(b) shall terminate when full dividends have been timely paid on the Designated Senior Preferred Stock for at least four (4) consecutive Dividend Periods, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned.

payable on the shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock have not been declared and paid in full for an aggregate of six (6) Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of directors of the Issuer shall automatically be increased by two (2) and the holders of the Designated Senior Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to elect two (2) directors of the Board of Directors (hereinafter the “Preferred Directors” and each a “Preferred Director”) to fill such newly created directorships at the Issuer’s next annual meeting of stockholders (or, if the next annual meeting is not yet scheduled or is scheduled to occur more than thirty (30) days later, the President or Secretary or equivalent officer of the Issuer shall, at the request of holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock promptly call a special meeting for that purpose prior to such next annual meeting) and at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders until full dividends have been paid on the Designated Senior Preferred Stock for at least four (4) consecutive Dividend Periods, at which time such right shall terminate with respect to the Designated Senior Preferred Stock, except as herein or by law expressly provided, subject to revesting in the event of each and every subsequent default of the character above mentioned; provided that it shall be a qualification for election for any Preferred Director that the election of such Preferred Director shall not cause the Issuer to violate any corporate governance requirements of any securities exchange or other trading facility on which securities of the Issuer may then be listed or traded that listed or traded companies must have a majority of independent directors; provided, further, that if the holders of the Designated Senior Preferred Stock initially determine not to elect two (2) directors in accordance with the foregoing, then (i) there shall remain a vacancy or two (2) vacancies, as applicable, on the Board of Directors and (ii) the holders of the Designated Senior Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, shall continue to have the right, but not the obligation, to fill any such vacancy at any annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (or, at the request of holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the outstanding shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock, if the next annual meeting has not at the time been scheduled or at the time is scheduled to occur more than thirty (30) days later, the Issuer’s President or Secretary, or any officer of the Issuer performing similar functions, shall promptly call a special meeting for that purpose) and to continue to elect up to two (2) Preferred Directors at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders as provided above. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock to vote for directors as provided above, the Preferred Directors shall cease to be qualified as directors, the term of office of all Preferred Directors then in office shall terminate immediately and the authorized number of directors shall be reduced by the number of Preferred Directors authorized to be elected pursuant hereto. Any Preferred Director may be removed at any time, with or without cause, and any vacancy created thereby may be filled, only by the affirmative vote of the holders a majority of the shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock at the time outstanding voting separately as a class. If the office of any Preferred Director becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from office as aforesaid, the holders of the Designated

A-13

Senior Preferred Stock may choose a successor who shall hold office for the unexpired term with respect to which such vacancy occurred.

(d) Class Voting Rights as to Particular Matters. So long as any shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required by law or by the Charter, the vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds (66 2/3%) of the shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting as a separate class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating:

(i)Authorization of Senior Stock. Any amendment or alteration of the (i) Certificate of Designations for the Designated Senior Preferred Stock or (ii) the Charter, to authorize or create or increase the authorized amount of, or any issuance of, any shares of, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of, any class or series of capital stock of the Issuer ranking senior to Designated Senior Preferred Stock with respect to either or both the payment of dividends and/or the distribution of assets on any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer;

(ii)Amendment of Designated Senior Preferred Stock. Any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Designations for the Designated Senior Preferred Stock or the Charter (including, unless no vote on such merger or consolidation is required by Section 7(d)(iii) below, any amendment, alteration or repeal by means of a merger, consolidation or otherwise) so as to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers of the Designated Senior Preferred Stock;

(iii)Share Exchanges, Reclassifications, Mergers and Consolidations. Subject to Section 7(d)(iv) below, any consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Designated Senior Preferred Stock, or of a merger or consolidation of the Issuer with another corporation or other entity, unless in each case (x) the shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock remain outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which the Issuer is not the surviving or resulting entity, are converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, and (y) such shares remaining outstanding or such preference securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, of Designated Senior Preferred Stock immediately prior to such consummation, taken as a whole; or

(iv)Holding Company Transactions. Any consummation of a Holding Company Transaction, unless as a result of the Holding Company Transaction each share of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall be converted into or exchanged for one share with an equal liquidation preference of preference securities of the Issuer or the Acquiror (the “Holding Company Preferred Stock”). Any such Holding Company Preferred Stock shall entitle holders thereof to non-cumulative dividends from the date of issuance of such Holding Company Preferred Stock on terms that are equivalent to the terms set forth herein, and shall have such other rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations

A-14

and restrictions thereof, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, and limitations and restrictions thereof, of Designated Senior Preferred Stock immediately prior to such conversion or exchange, taken as a whole;

provided, however, that for all purposes of this Section 7(d), any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock, including any increase in the authorized amount of Designated Senior Preferred Stock necessary to satisfy preemptive or similar rights granted by the Issuer to other persons prior to the Signing Date, or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, whether pursuant to preemptive or similar rights or otherwise, of any other series of Preferred Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any other series of Preferred Stock, ranking equally with and/or junior to Designated Senior Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or noncumulative) and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Issuer will not be deemed to adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers, and shall not require the affirmative vote or consent of, the holders of outstanding shares of the Designated Senior Preferred Stock.

(e)Changes after Provision for Redemption. No vote or consent of the holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section 7(d) above if, at or prior to the time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such Section, all outstanding shares of the Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, or shall have been called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 5 above.

(f)Procedures for Voting and Consents. The rules and procedures for calling and conducting any meeting of the holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, the fixing of a record date in connection therewith), the solicitation and use of proxies at such a meeting, the obtaining of written consents and any other aspect or matter with regard to such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules of the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may adopt from time to time, which rules and procedures shall conform to the requirements of the Charter, the Bylaws, and applicable law and the rules of any national securities exchange or other trading facility on which Designated Senior Preferred Stock is listed or traded at the time.

Section 8. Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Issuer and the transfer agent for Designated Senior Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record holder of any share of Designated Senior Preferred Stock as the true and lawful owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Issuer nor such transfer agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

Section 9. Notices. All notices or communications with respect to the Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall be sufficiently given if given in writing and delivered in person or by first class mail, postage prepaid, or if given in such other manner as may be permitted in this Certificate of Designations, in the Charter or Bylaws or by applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock or any depositary shares representing interests in the Designated Senior Preferred Stock are issued in book-entry form through The

A-15

Depository Trust Company or any similar facility, such notices may be given to the holders of Designated Senior Preferred Stock in any manner permitted by such facility.

Section 10. No Preemptive Rights. No share of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall have any rights of preemption whatsoever as to any securities of the Issuer, or any warrants, rights or options issued or granted with respect thereto, regardless of how such securities, or such warrants, rights or options, may be designated, issued or granted.

Section 11. Replacement Certificates. The Issuer shall replace any mutilated certificate at the holder’s expense upon surrender of that certificate to the Issuer. The Issuer shall replace certificates that become destroyed, stolen or lost at the holder’s expense upon delivery to the Issuer of reasonably satisfactory evidence that the certificate has been destroyed, stolen or lost, together with any indemnity that may be reasonably required by the Issuer.

Section 12. Other Rights. The shares of Designated Senior Preferred Stock shall not have any rights, preferences, privileges or voting powers or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth herein or in the Charter or as provided by applicable law.

1.2 Registration.

(a) The Recipient covenants and agrees that as promptly as practicable after the date that the Recipient becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and in any event no later than thirty (30) days thereafter), the Recipient shall prepare and file with the SEC (or the OCC, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association) a Shelf Registration Statement covering all Registrable Securities (or otherwise designate an existing shelf registration on an appropriate form under Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) filed with the SEC (or the OCC, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association) to cover the Registrable Securities), and, to the extent the Shelf Registration Statement has not theretofore been declared effective or is not automatically effective upon such filing, the Recipient shall use reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared or become effective and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective and in compliance with the Securities Act (or Part 16, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association) and usable for resale of such Registrable Securities for a period from the date of its initial effectiveness until such time as there are no Registrable Securities remaining (including by refiling such Shelf Registration Statement (or a new Shelf Registration Statement) if the initial Shelf Registration Statement expires). So long as the Registrant is a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) at the time of filing of the Shelf Registration Statement with the SEC, such Shelf Registration Statement shall be designated by the Recipient as an automatic Shelf Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Recipient is not eligible to file a registration statement on Annex E-2

Form S-3, then the Recipient shall not be obligated to file a Shelf Registration Statement unless and until requested to do so in writing by the Investor.

(b)Any registration pursuant to Section 1.2(a) of this Annex E shall be effected by means of a Shelf Registration Statement on an appropriate form under Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or Part 16, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association). If the Investor or any other Holder intends to distribute any Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering it shall promptly so advise the Recipient and the Recipient shall take all reasonable steps to facilitate such distribution, including the actions required pursuant to Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E; provided that the Recipient shall not be required to facilitate an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities unless (i) the expected gross proceeds from such offering exceed $200,000 or (ii) such underwritten offering includes all the outstanding Registrable Securities held by such Holder. The lead underwriters in any such distribution shall be selected by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be distributed.

(c)The Recipient shall not be required to effect a registration (including a resale of Registrable Securities from an effective Shelf Registration Statement) or an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 1.2 of this Annex E: (A) with respect to securities that are not Registrable Securities; or (B) if the Recipient has notified the Investor and all other Holders that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors, it would be materially detrimental to the Recipient or its securityholders for such registration or underwritten offering to be effected at such time, in which event the Recipient shall have the right to defer such registration or offering for a period of not more than forty-five (45) days after receipt of the request of the Investor or any other Holder; provided that such right to delay a registration or underwritten offering shall be exercised by the Recipient (1) only if the Recipient has generally exercised (or is concurrently exercising) similar black-out rights against holders of similar securities that have registration rights and (2) not more than three times in any twelve (12)-month period and not more than ninety (90) days in the aggregate in any twelve (12)-month period. The Recipient shall notify the Holders of the date of any anticipated termination of any such deferral period prior to such date.

(d)If during any period when an effective Shelf Registration Statement is not available, the Recipient proposes to register any of its equity securities, other than a registration pursuant to Section 1.2(a) of this Annex E or a Special Registration, and the registration form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of Registrable Securities, the Recipient will give prompt written notice to the Investor and all other Holders of its intention to effect such a registration (but in no event less than ten (10) days prior to the anticipated filing date) and will include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Recipient has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten (10) business days after the date of the Recipient’s notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). Any such person that has made such a written request may withdraw its Registrable Securities from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Recipient and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth (5th) business day prior to the planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Recipient may terminate or withdraw any registration under this Section 1.2(d) prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not Investor or any other Holders have elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration.

Annex E-3

(e)If the registration referred to in Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E is proposed to be underwritten, the Recipient will so advise Investor and all other Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E. In such event, the right of Investor and all other Holders to registration pursuant to Section 1.2 of this Annex E will be conditioned upon such persons’ participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such person’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting if such securities are of the same class of securities as the securities to be offered in the underwritten offering, and each such person will (together with the Recipient and the other persons distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Recipient; provided that the Investor (as opposed to other Holders) shall not be required to indemnify any person in connection with any registration. If any participating person disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Recipient, the managing underwriters and the Investor (if the Investor is participating in the underwriting).

(f)If either (x) the Recipient grants “piggyback” registration rights to one or more third parties to include their securities in an underwritten offering under the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 1.2(b) of this Annex E or (y) a Piggyback Registration under Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E relates to an underwritten offering on behalf of the Recipient, and in either case the managing underwriters advise the Recipient that in their reasonable opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Recipient will include in such offering only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority: (A) first, in the case of a Piggyback Registration under Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E, the securities the Recipient proposes to sell, (B) then the Registrable Securities of the Investor and all other Holders who have requested inclusion of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1.2(b) or Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E, as applicable, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of such securities or shares owned by each such person and (C) lastly, any other securities of the Recipient that have been requested to be so included, subject to the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Recipient has, prior to the Signing Date, entered into an agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the order of priority contemplated hereby then it shall apply the order of priority in such conflicting agreement to the extent that this Annex E would otherwise result in a breach under such agreement.

1.3 Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses incurred in connection

with any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder shall be borne by the Recipient. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the aggregate offering or sale price of the securities so registered.

1.4 Obligations of the Recipient. The Recipient shall use its reasonable best

efforts, for so long as there are Registrable Securities outstanding, to take such actions as are under its control to not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities

Act) and to remain a well-known seasoned issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) if it has

Annex E-4

such status on the Signing Date or becomes eligible for such status thereafter. In addition, whenever required to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities or facilitate the distribution of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective Shelf Registration Statement, the Recipient shall, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:

(a)Prepare and file with the SEC (or the OCC, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association) a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment with respect to a proposed offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective registration statement, subject to Section 1.4 of this Annex E, keep such registration statement effective and keep such prospectus supplement current until the securities described therein are no longer Registrable Securities. The plan of distribution included in such registration statement shall include, among other things, an underwritten offering, ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers, block trades, privately negotiated transactions, the writing or settlement of options or other derivative transactions and any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law, and any combination of any such methods of sale.

(b)Prepare and file with the SEC (or the OCC, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association) such amendments and supplements to the applicable registration statement and the prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act (or Part 16, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association) with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.

(c)Furnish to the Holders and any underwriters such number of copies of the applicable registration statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (including in each case all exhibits) and of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act (or Part 16, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association), and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned or to be distributed by them.

(d)Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Holders or any managing underwriter(s), to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect, and to take any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such Holder; provided that the Recipient shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.

(e)Notify each Holder of Registrable Securities at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (or Part 16, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association) of the happening of any event as a result of which the applicable prospectus, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.

Annex E-5

(f) Give written notice to the Holders:

(i)when any registration statement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC (or Part 16, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association) (except for any amendment effected by the filing of a document with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act (or with the OCC, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association)) and when such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;

(ii)of any request by the SEC (or the OCC, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association) for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;

(iii)of the issuance by the SEC (or the OCC, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association) of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

(iv)of the receipt by the Recipient or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the applicable Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

(v)of the happening of any event that requires the Recipient to make changes in any effective registration statement or the prospectus related to the registration statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made); and

(vi)if at any time the representations and warranties of the Recipient contained in any underwriting agreement contemplated by Section 1.4(j) of this Annex E cease to be true and correct.

(g) Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement referred to in Section 1.4(f)(iii) of this Annex E at the earliest practicable time.

(h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 1.4(e) or 1.4(f)(v) of this Annex E, promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Holders and any underwriters, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Recipient notifies the Holders in accordance with Section 1.4(f)(v) of this Annex E to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Holders and any underwriters shall suspend use of such prospectus and use their reasonable best efforts to return to the Recipient all copies of such prospectus (at the Recipient’s expense) other

than permanent file copies then in such Holders’ or underwriters’ possession. The total number of days that any such

Annex E-6

suspension may be in effect in any twelve (12)-month period shall not exceed ninety (90) days. The Recipient shall notify the Holders of the date of any anticipated termination of any such suspension period prior to such date.

(i)Use reasonable best efforts to procure the cooperation of the Recipient’s transfer agent in settling any offering or sale of Registrable Securities, including with respect to the transfer of physical stock certificates into book-entry form in accordance with any procedures reasonably requested by the Holders or any managing underwriter(s).

(j)If an underwritten offering is requested pursuant to Section 1.2(b) of this Annex E, enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, scope and substance and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith or by the managing underwriter(s), if any, to expedite or facilitate the underwritten disposition of such Registrable Securities, and in connection therewith in any underwritten offering (including making members of management and executives of the Recipient available to participate in “road shows”, similar sales events and other marketing activities), (A) make such representations and warranties to the Holders that are selling stockholders and the managing underwriter(s), if any, with respect to the business of the Recipient and its subsidiaries, and the Shelf Registration Statement, prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in customary form, substance and scope, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested, (B) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish the underwriters with opinions and “10b-5” letters of counsel to the Recipient, addressed to the managing underwriter(s), if any, covering the matters customarily covered in such opinions and letters requested in underwritten offerings, (C) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Recipient (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any business acquired by the Recipient for which financial statements and financial data are included in the Shelf Registration Statement) who have certified the financial statements included in such Shelf Registration Statement, addressed to each of the managing underwriter(s), if any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “cold comfort” letters, (D) if an underwriting agreement is entered into, the same shall contain indemnification provisions and procedures customary in underwritten offerings (provided that the Investor shall not be obligated to provide any indemnity), and (E) deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in connection therewith, their counsel and the managing underwriter(s), if any, to evidence the continued validity of the representations and warranties made pursuant to clause (A) above and to evidence compliance with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Recipient.

(k)Make available for inspection by a representative of Holders that are selling stockholders, the managing underwriter(s), if any, and any attorneys or accountants retained by such Holders or managing underwriter(s), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Recipient, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Recipient to supply all information in each case reasonably requested (and of the type customarily provided in connection with due diligence conducted in connection with a registered public offering of securities) by any

Annex E-7

such representative, managing underwriter(s), attorney or accountant in connection with such Shelf Registration Statement.

(l)Use reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each national securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Recipient are then listed or, if no similar securities issued by the Recipient are then listed on any national securities exchange, use its reasonable best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on such securities exchange as the Investor may designate.

(m)If requested by Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and/or sold in connection therewith, or the managing underwriter(s), if any, promptly include in a prospectus supplement or amendment such information as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered and/or sold in connection therewith or managing underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such amendment as soon as practicable after the Recipient has received such request.

(n)Timely provide to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.

1.5 Suspension of Sales. Upon receipt of written notice from the Recipient that a registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement contains or may contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omits or may omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or that circumstances exist that make inadvisable use of such registration statement, prospectus or prospectus supplement, the Investor and each Holder of Registrable Securities shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities until the Investor and/or Holder has received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus or prospectus supplement, or until the Investor and/or such Holder is advised in writing by the Recipient that the use of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Recipient, the Investor and/or such Holder shall deliver to the Recipient (at the Recipient’s expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies then in the Investor and/or such Holder’s possession, of the prospectus and, if applicable, prospectus supplement covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. The total number of days that any such suspension may be in effect in any twelve (12)-month period shall not exceed ninety (90) days. The Recipient shall notify the Investor and the Holders prior to the anticipated termination of any such suspension period of the date of such anticipated termination.

1.6 Termination of Registration Rights. A Holder’s registration rights as to any securities held by such Holder (and its Affiliates, partners, members and former members) shall not be available unless such securities are Registrable Securities.

1.7 Furnishing Information.

(a) Neither the Investor nor any Holder shall use any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Recipient.

Annex E-8

(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Recipient to take any action pursuant to Section 1.4 of this Annex E that Investor and/or the selling Holders and the underwriters, if any, shall furnish to the Recipient such information regarding themselves, the Registrable Securities held by them and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required to effect the registered offering of their Registrable Securities.

1.8 Indemnification.

(a)The Recipient agrees to indemnify each Holder and, if a Holder is a person other than an individual, such Holder’s officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives and Affiliates, and each person, if any, that controls a Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act (each, an “Indemnitee”), against any and all losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of attorneys and other professionals incurred in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs and expenses), joint or several, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto or any documents incorporated therein by reference or contained in any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) prepared by the Recipient or authorized by it in writing for use by such Holder (or any amendment or supplement thereto); or any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, that the Recipient shall not be liable to such Indemnitee in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability (or action or proceeding in respect thereof) or expense arises out of or is based upon (A) an untrue statement or omission made in such registration statement, including any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto or contained in any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405) prepared by the Recipient or authorized by it in writing for use by such Holder (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with information regarding such Indemnitee or its plan of distribution or ownership interests which was furnished in writing to the Recipient by such Indemnitee for use in connection with such registration statement, including any such preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any such amendments or supplements thereto, or (B) offers or sales effected by or on behalf of such Indemnitee “by means of” (as defined in Rule 159A) a “free writing prospectus” (as defined in Rule 405) that was not authorized in writing by the Recipient.

(b)If the indemnification provided for in Section 1.8(a) of this Annex E is unavailable to an Indemnitee with respect to any losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses referred to therein or is insufficient to hold the Indemnitee harmless as contemplated therein, then the Recipient, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnitee, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnitee, on the one hand, and the Recipient, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, actions, liabilities, costs or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Recipient, on the one hand, and of the Indemnitee, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other factors, whether the untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact relates Annex E-9

to information supplied by the Recipient or by the Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission; the Recipient and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 1.8(b) of this Annex E were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 1.8(a) of this Annex E. No Indemnitee guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from the Recipient if the Recipient was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

1.9 Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights of the Investor to registration

of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 1.2 of this Annex E may be assigned by the Investor to a transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities; provided, however, the transferor shall, within ten (10) days after such transfer, furnish to the Recipient written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the number and type of Registrable Securities that are being assigned.

1.10 Clear Market. With respect to any underwritten offering of Registrable Securities by the Investor or other Holders pursuant to this Annex E, the Recipient agrees not to effect (other than pursuant to such registration or pursuant to a Special Registration) any public sale or distribution, or to file any Shelf Registration Statement (other than such registration or a Special Registration) covering any preferred stock of the Recipient or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for preferred stock of the Recipient, during the period not to exceed ten (10) days prior and sixty (60) days following the effective date of such offering or such longer period up to ninety (90) days as may be requested by the managing underwriter for such underwritten offering. The Recipient also agrees to cause such of its directors and senior executive officers to execute and deliver customary lock-up agreements in such form and for such time period up to ninety (90) days as may be requested by the managing underwriter.

1.11 Forfeiture of Rights. At any time, any holder of Registrable Securities

(including any Holder) may elect to forfeit its rights set forth in this Annex E from that date forward; provided, that a Holder forfeiting such rights shall nonetheless be entitled to participate under Section 1.2(d) – (f) of this Annex E in any Pending Underwritten Offering to the same extent that such Holder would have been entitled to if the holder had not withdrawn; and provided, further, that no such forfeiture shall terminate a Holder’s rights or obligations under Section 1.7 of this Annex E with respect to any prior registration or Pending Underwritten Offering.

1.12 Specific Performance. The parties hereto acknowledge that there would be no adequate remedy at law if the Recipient fails to perform any of its obligations under this Annex E and that the Investor and the Holders from time to time may be irreparably harmed by any such failure, and accordingly agree that the Investor and such Holders, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, to the fullest extent permitted and enforceable under applicable law shall be entitled to compel specific performance of the obligations of the Recipient under this Section 1.12 in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Annex E.

1.13 No Inconsistent Agreements. The Recipient shall not, on or after the Signing Date, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that may impair the rights

Annex E-10

granted to the Investor and the Holders under this Annex E or that otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof in any manner that may impair the rights granted to the Investor and the Holders under this Annex E. In the event the Recipient has, prior to the Signing Date, entered into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Investor and the Holders under this Annex E (including agreements that are inconsistent with the order of priority contemplated by Section 1.2(f) of Annex E) or that may otherwise conflict with the provisions hereof, the Recipient shall use its reasonable best efforts to amend such agreements to ensure they are consistent with the provisions of this Annex E. Any transaction entered into by the Recipient that would reasonably be expected to require the inclusion in a Shelf Registration Statement or any report of the Recipient filed with the SEC (or the OCC, if the Recipient is a national bank or federal savings association) of any separate financial statements pursuant to Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X or pro forma financial statements pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation S-X shall include provisions requiring the Recipient’s counterparty to provide any information necessary to allow the Recipient to comply with its obligation hereunder.

1.14 Certain Offerings by the Investor. An “underwritten” offering or other disposition shall include any distribution of such securities on behalf of the Investor by one or more broker-dealers, an “underwriting agreement” shall include any purchase agreement entered into by such broker-dealers, and any “registration statement” or “prospectus” shall include any offering document approved by the Recipient and used in connection with such distribution.

1.15 Other Cooperation. If the Recipient is a state-chartered bank or savings association and the transfer or sale of the Registrable Securities is subject to any requirements under applicable state law or regulation relating to such transfer or sale, the Recipient will cooperate and assist in complying with such law and regulation in order to provide the Holders with the benefit of rights to effect or participate in broadly distributed underwritten offerings of the Registrable Securities.

1.16 State-Chartered Banks and Savings Associations. If the Recipient is a state-chartered bank or savings association, the Investor and Recipient acknowledge that, as of the Signing Date, the Registrable Securities are securities of an insured depository institution and, accordingly, the transfer of such securities is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and qualification and registration requirements under state law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as the Registrable Securities are subject to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(2) or Section 3(a)(5) of the Securities Act, the provisions of this Annex E shall, to the extent practicable and where applicable, be interpreted so as to nonetheless provide the Holders with the benefit of rights to effect or participate in broadly distributed underwritten offerings of the Registrable Securities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Registrable Securities are subject to the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(2) or Section 3(a)(5) of the Securities Act: (i) all references to the “SEC” shall be deemed to refer to the Applicable Securities Regulator and all references to provisions of the Securities Act shall be deemed to refer to the corresponding provision of the applicable banking law or regulation, if any; and (ii) if, under such applicable laws, rules and regulations of the Applicable Securities Regulator, no registration statement or correlative filing is required to be made, then (A) any references herein to a “registration statement” or “prospectus” shall be deemed to refer to an offering memorandum or other offering materials with respect to the applicable transfer of Registrable Securities, (B) any references herein to the filing of a registration statement shall be deemed to refer instead to the

Annex E-11

time when such broadly distributed underwritten offering is proposed to be commenced and (C) any references herein to the preparation and filing of a registration statement or prospectus shall be deemed to refer to the preparation of an offering memorandum or other appropriate offering materials.
