election, submitted in writing to us, but only if (x) such election is made at the time of such assignment or transfer and (y) such Class C common stock is assigned or transferred to a
person that is not an “affiliate” (as that term is defined for purposes of the BHC Act) of the assignor or transferor and such assignment or transfer is: (i) to us; (ii) in a transaction in which no assignee or transferee (or
group of associated assignees or transferees) would receive 2% or more of the outstanding shares of any Class of Voting Shares of ours; (iii) in a widespread public distribution; or (iv) to an assignee or transferee that would control more
than 50% of every Class of Voting Shares of ours without any transfer from the assignor or transferor. “BHC Act” means the U.S. Bank Holding Company Act of 1956. “BHC Stockholder” means any stockholder that is subject to the BHC
Act, including any “affiliate” of such stockholder as that term is defined for purposes of the BHC Act, that provides us with written notice stating that the stockholder irrevocably elects to be treated as a BHC Stockholder for purposes of
our certificate of incorporation. A BHC Stockholder shall cease to be a BHC Stockholder upon providing written notice to us that, due to a change of law or regulation, change to its business or operations, divestiture or other transaction, it has
ceased to be a BHC Stockholder, provided that any share of Class C common stock may only convert to a share of Class A common stock pursuant to our certificate of incorporation and shall not convert to a share of Class A common stock (or
any other series other than of Class C common stock) pursuant to the BHC Stockholder’s provision of such written notice. “Class of Voting Shares” has the same meaning given to that term in Section 225.2(q)(3) of Regulation Y of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 C.F.R. § 225.2(q)(3)).
