After the date fixed for redemption, the depositary shares called for redemption will no longer be outstanding. When the depositary shares are no longer outstanding, all rights of the holders will terminate, except the right to receive money, securities or other property payable upon redemption.

Voting

Upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of our Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the depositary will mail the information contained in the notice of meeting to the record holders of the depositary receipts underlying our Preferred Stock.

We will agree to take all action that may be deemed necessary by the depositary in order to enable the depositary to vote our Preferred Stock in accordance with these instructions.
