to the Investor as promptly as possible, in each case within sixty days of such

payment in contravention of the provisions of this Section 4.1(e), the Company shall 

promptly provide such individual with written notice that the amount of such payment 

must be repaid to the Company in full within fifteen business days following receipt of 

such notice or such earlier time as may be required by the Compensation Regulations and 

shall promptly inform the Investor (x) upon discovering that a payment in contravention 

of this Section 4.1(e) has been made and (y) following the repayment to the Company of 

such amount and shall take such other actions as may be necessary to comply with the 

Compensation Regulations. 

(iv) Limitation on Deductions. During the Relevant Period, the Company 

agrees that it shall not claim a deduction for remuneration for federal income tax 

purposes in excess of $500,000 for each Senior Executive Officer that would not be

subsidiaries of the company (excluding revenues derived from subsidiary depository 

institutions), on a consolidated basis, from engaging in activities that are financial in nature or 

are incidental to a financial activity under subsection (k) of Section 4 of the Bank Holding

the CDCI Preferred Shares have been redeemed in whole, the Company and the Company 

Subsidiaries shall maintain such capital as may be necessary to meet the minimum capital 

requirements of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, as in effect from time to time.

ensure that (i) from and after the date the Company or any Company Subsidiary that services 

residential mortgage loans has 100 or more residential mortgage loans not owned or guaranteed 

by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac which have been past due for 60 or more days, the Company or 

such Company Subsidiary shall, to the extent such programs are open for participation, 

(A) participate in the United States Department of the Treasury’s Making Home Affordable 

(“MHA”) program, including MHA’s Second Lien Modification Program and, (B) immediately 

execute a Commitment to Purchase Financial Instrument and Servicer Participation Agreement 

(in such form as may be set forth on the MHA website at www.hmpadmin.com from time to 

time) with Fannie Mae (acting as the United States Department of the Treasury’s fiscal agent) 

and (ii) if the Company or any Company Subsidiary owns mortgage loans that are serviced by a 

non-affiliated mortgage servicer, the Company or such Company Subsidiary shall consent to any 

MHA modification request made by such mortgage servicer. 

(j) Reporting Requirements. Prior to the date on which all of the CDCI 

Preferred Shares have been redeemed in whole, the Company covenants and agrees that, at all 

times on or after the Closing Date, (i) to the extent it is subject to the reporting requirements of 

Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it shall comply with the terms and conditions set forth 

in Annex E or (ii) as soon as practicable after the date that the Company becomes subject to the 

reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it shall comply with the 

terms and conditions set forth in Annex E.

agree to comply, and take all necessary action to ensure that any Company Subsidiary complies

Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009), Public Law No. 111-5, effective as of February 17, 

2009, as implemented by any rules, regulation or guidance thereunder, as such may be amended 

or supplemented from time to time, and any applicable guidance of the United States Department 

of the Treasury with respect thereto. 

(l) Control by Foreign Bank or Company. Prior to the date on which 

all of the CDCI Preferred Shares have been redeemed in whole, the Company shall not be 

controlled (within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956 (12 U.S.C. 

1841(a)(2)) and 12 C.F.R. 225(a)(i) in the case of Bank Holding Companies and banks and the 

Home Owners’ Loan Act of 1933 (12 U.S.C. 1467a (a)(2)) and 12 C.F.R. 583.7 in the case of 

Savings and Loan Holding Companies and savings associations) by a foreign bank or company. 

Section 4.2 Negative Covenants. The Company hereby covenants and agrees 

with the Investor that: 

(a) Certain Transactions. 

(i) The Company shall not merge or consolidate with, or sell, transfer or lease 

all or substantially all of its property or assets to, any other party unless the successor, 

transferee or lessee party (or its ultimate parent entity), as the case may be (if not the 

Company), expressly assumes the due and punctual performance and observance of each 
UST Sequence No. 767 -20- 

and every covenant, agreement and condition of this Agreement to be performed and 

observed by the Company. 

(ii) Without the prior written consent of the Investor, until such time as the 

Investor shall cease to own any debt or equity securities of the Company acquired 

pursuant to this Agreement or the CPP Securities Purchase Agreement (including, for the 

avoidance of doubt, the CPP Preferred Shares or the CDCI Preferred Shares), the 

Company shall not permit any of its “significant subsidiaries” (as such term is defined in 

Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act) to (i) engage in any merger, 

consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar transaction following the 

consummation of which such significant subsidiary is not wholly-owned by the 

Company, (ii) dissolve or sell all or substantially all of its assets or property other than in 

connection with an internal reorganization or consolidation involving wholly-owned 

subsidiaries of the Company or (iii) issue or sell any shares of its capital stock or any 

securities convertible or exercisable for any such shares, other than issuances or sales in 

connection with an internal reorganization or consolidation involving wholly-owned 

subsidiaries of the Company. 

(b) Restriction on Dividends and Repurchases. 

(i) The Company covenants and agrees that it shall not violate any of the 

restrictions on dividends, distributions, redemptions, repurchases, acquisitions and related 

actions set forth in the New Certificate of Designations, which are incorporated by 

reference herein as if set forth in full. 

(ii) During the period beginning on the eighth anniversary of the Closing and 

ending on the date on which the Investor no longer owns any of the CDCI Preferred 

Shares, neither the Company nor any Company Subsidiary shall, without the consent of 

the Investor, (A) declare or pay any dividend or make any distribution on capital stock or 

other equity securities of any kind of the Company or any Company Subsidiary; or 

(B) redeem, purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock or other capital stock or 

other equity securities of any kind of the Company or any Company Subsidiary, or any 

trust preferred securities issued by the Company or any Affiliate of the Company, other 

than (1) redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of the CDCI Preferred Shares, 

(2) regular dividends on shares of preferred stock in accordance with the terms thereof 

and which are permitted under the terms of the CDCI Preferred Shares, or (3) dividends 

or distributions by any wholly-owned Company Subsidiary. 

(c) Related Party Transactions. Until such time as the Investor ceases to own 

any debt or equity securities of the Company, including the CDCI Preferred Shares, the 

Company and the Company Subsidiaries shall not enter into transactions with Affiliates or 

related persons (within the meaning of Item 404 under the SEC’s Regulation S-K) unless 

(A) such transactions are on terms no less favorable to the Company and the Company 

Subsidiaries than could be obtained from an unaffiliated third party, and (B) have been approved 

by the audit committee of the Board of Directors or comparable body of independent directors of 

the Company, or if there are no independent directors, the Board of Directors, provided that the 
UST Sequence No. 767 -21- 

Board of Directors shall maintain written documentation which supports its determination that 

the transaction meets the requirements of clause (A) of this Section 4.2(c). 

(d) Restriction on Repurchase of CDCI Preferred Shares Not Held by 

Investor. Prior to the date on which the Investor no longer owns any of the CDCI Preferred 

Shares the Company shall not repurchase, redeem, call or otherwise reacquire any CDCI 

Preferred Shares from any holder thereof, whether by means of open market purchase, negotiated 

transaction, or otherwise, unless it offers to repurchase, redeem, call or otherwise reacquire a 

ratable portion of the CDCI Preferred Shares, as the case may be, then held by the Investor on 

the same terms and conditions. 

ARTICLE V

“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

UST Sequence No. 767 -22- 

OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS 

INSTRUMENT IS NOTIFIED THAT THE SELLER MAY BE 

RELYING ON THE EXEMPTION FROM SECTION 5 OF THE 

SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144A 

THEREUNDER. 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

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.” 

(b) In the event that any CDCI Preferred Shares (i) become registered under 

the Securities Act 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), the 

Company shall issue new certificates or other instruments representing such CDCI Preferred 
UST Sequence No. 767 -23- 

Shares, which shall not contain the applicable legends in Section 5.2(a) above; provided that the 

Investor surrenders to the Company the previously issued certificates or other instruments. 

Section 5.3 Transfer of CDCI Preferred Shares. Subject to compliance with 

applicable securities laws, the Investor shall be permitted to transfer, sell, assign or otherwise 

dispose of (“Transfer”) all or a portion of the CDCI Preferred Shares at any time, and the 

Company shall take all steps as may be reasonably requested by the Investor to facilitate the 

Transfer of the CDCI Preferred Shares, including without limitation, as set forth in Section 5.4, 

provided that the Investor shall not Transfer any CDCI Preferred Shares if such transfer would 

require the Company to be subject to the periodic reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) 

of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the Company was not already 

subject to such requirements. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company shall provide 

reasonable cooperation to facilitate any Transfers of the CDCI Preferred Shares, including, as is 

reasonable under the circumstances, by furnishing such information concerning the Company 

and its business as a proposed transferee may reasonably request and making management of the 

Company reasonably 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. 

Section 5.4 Rule 144; Rule 144A; 4(11⁄2) Transactions. (a) At all times after 

the Signing Date, the Company covenants that (1) it will, upon the request of the Investor or 

any subsequent holders of the CDCI 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 CDCI Preferred Shares, make “current public information” available, as provided in 

Section (c)(1) of Rule 144 (if the Company is a “Reporting Issuer” within the meaning of 

Rule 144) or in Section (c)(2) of Rule 144 (if the Company 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(11⁄2)” exemption to sell any of its CDCI 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 CDCI 

Preferred Shares pursuant to such exemption, or (z) to the extent any Holder is relying on Rule 

144A under the Securities Act to sell any of its CDCI 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 CDCI Preferred Shares without registration under the Securities Act 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(11⁄2)” and 

other similar transactions, (ii) Rule 144 or 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; 

provided that the Company shall not be required to take any action described in this 

Section 5.4(a) that would cause the Company to become subject to the reporting requirements of 

Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Company was not subject to such requirements 

prior to taking such action. Upon the request of any Holder, the Company will deliver to such 

Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the 

specifics thereof. 
UST Sequence No. 767 -24- 

(b) The Company agrees to indemnify Investor, Investor’s 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 

Company pursuant to this Section 5.4 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. 

(c) If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.4(b) 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 Company, 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 Company, 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 

Company, 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 Company or by the Indemnitee and the 

parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent 

such statement or omission; the Company and Investor agree that it would not be just and 

equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4(c) 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 5.4(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 

Company if the Company was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

Section 5.5 Depositary Shares. Upon request by the Investor at any time 

following the Closing Date, the Company 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 CDCI Preferred Shares may be 

deposited and depositary shares, each representing a fraction of a CDCI 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 CDCI Preferred Shares, as applicable, pursuant thereto, the 

depositary shares issued pursuant thereto shall be deemed “CDCI Preferred Shares” and, as 

applicable, “Registrable Securities” for purposes of this Agreement. 

Section 5.6 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 contemplated under this 
UST Sequence No. 767 -25- 

Agreement, including fees and expenses of its own financial or other consultants, investment 

bankers, accountants and counsel. 

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

the Investor all instruments, documents and other agreements required to be furnished by the 

Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any documents 

required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.4 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 CDCI 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.

dividends on such amount), on all outstanding shares of Designated Preferred Stock have been or 

are contemporaneously declared and paid in full (or have been declared and a sum sufficient for

 A-5 

and payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having dividend 

payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date falling 

within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) shall be declared pro rata so 

that the respective amounts of such dividends declared shall bear the same ratio to each other as 

all accrued and unpaid dividends per share on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock 

(including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) and all 

Parity Stock payable on such Dividend Payment Date (or, in the case of Parity Stock having 

dividend payment dates different from the Dividend Payment Dates, on a dividend payment date 

falling within the Dividend Period related to such Dividend Payment Date) (subject to their 

having been declared by the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of 

Directors out of legally available funds and including, in the case of Parity Stock that bears 

cumulative dividends, all accrued but unpaid dividends) bear to each other. If the Board of 

Directors or a duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors determines not to pay any 

dividend or a full dividend on a Dividend Payment Date, the Issuer will provide written notice to 

the holders of Designated Preferred Stock prior to such Dividend Payment Date. 

Subject to the foregoing and Section 3(c) below, and not otherwise, such 

dividends (payable in cash, securities or other property) as may be determined by the Board of 

Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors may be declared and paid

dividend or make any distribution on Common Stock, Junior Stock, Parity Stock or other capital 

stock or other equity securities of any kind of the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary (other than (i) 

regular quarterly cash dividends of not more than the amount of the last quarterly cash dividend 

per share declared or, if lower, announced to its holders of Common Stock an intention to 

declare, on the Common Stock prior to [For Companies with CPP/CDCI Securities

similar transaction, (ii) dividends payable solely in shares of Common Stock, (iii) regular 

dividends on shares of preferred stock in accordance with the terms thereof and which are 

permitted under the terms of this Section 3, (iv) dividends or distributions by any wholly-owned

Preferred Stock have been or are contemporaneously declared and paid in full (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 Preferred Stock on the applicable record date). 

So long as any share of Designated Preferred Stock remains outstanding, neither 

the Issuer nor any Issuer Subsidiary shall, (x) pay any per share dividend or distribution on 

Common Stock, Junior Stock, Parity Stock or other capital stock or other equity securities of any 

kind of the Issuer at a rate that is in excess of 100% of the aggregate per share dividends and 

distributions for the immediately prior fiscal year (other than regular dividends on shares of 

preferred stock in accordance with the terms thereof and which are permitted under the terms of 

this Section 3); provided that no increase in the aggregate amount of dividends or distributions 

on Common Stock shall be permitted for any twelve (12) month period, including, without 

limitation, as a result of any dividends or distributions paid in shares of Common Stock, any 

stock split or any similar transaction or (y) pay aggregate dividends or distributions on capital 

stock or other equity securities of any kind of any Issuer Subsidiary that is in excess of 100% of

20095

 or (4) dividends or distributions on newly issued shares of capital stock for cash or other 

property). 

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 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive for each share of Designated 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, 

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 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 accrued and unpaid dividends (including, if applicable as 

provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount), whether or not declared, to the date 

of payment (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 Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts 

payable with respect of any other stock of the Issuer ranking equally with Designated Preferred 

Stock as to such distribution, holders of Designated Preferred Stock and the holders of such other 

stock shall share ratably in any such distribution in proportion to the full respective distributions 

to which they are entitled.

 For exchanges of CPP, the date will be the date for the same provision in that SPA. 
 A-7 

(c) Residual Distributions. If the Liquidation Preference has been paid in full 

to all holders of Designated Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable with respect 

of any other stock of the Issuer ranking equally with Designated Preferred Stock as to such 

distribution 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 Not Liquidation. For purposes 

of this Section 4, 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 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 Issuer, at its option, subject to the approval of 

the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, in whole or in part, at any time and from 

time to time, out of funds legally available therefor, the shares of Designated Preferred Stock at 

the time outstanding, upon notice given as provided in Section 5(c) below, at a redemption price 

equal to the sum of (i) the Liquidation Amount per share and (ii) any accrued and unpaid 

dividends (including, if applicable as provided in Section 3(a) above, dividends on such amount) 

(regardless of whether any dividends are actually declared) to, but excluding, the date fixed for 

redemption. 

The redemption price for any shares of Designated 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. Any declared but unpaid dividends payable on a 

redemption date that occurs subsequent to the Dividend Record Date for a Dividend Period 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 Dividend Record Date 

relating to the Dividend Payment Date as provided in Section 3 above. 

(b) No Sinking Fund. The Designated Preferred Stock will not be subject to 

any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Designated 

Preferred Stock will have no right to require redemption or repurchase of any shares of 

Designated Preferred Stock. 

(c) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of 

Designated 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 30 days and not more than 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 Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the 

validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Designated Preferred Stock. 
 A-8 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if shares of Designated 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 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 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 Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected 

either pro rata or in such other manner as the Board of Directors or a duly authorized committee 

thereof may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of 

Directors or a duly authorized committee thereof shall have full power and authority to prescribe 

the terms and conditions upon which shares of Designated Preferred Stock shall be redeemed 

from time to time. 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 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 Preferred Stock that are 

redeemed, repurchased or otherwise acquired by the Issuer shall revert to authorized but unissued 

shares of Preferred Stock (provided that any such cancelled shares of Designated Preferred Stock 

may be reissued only as shares of any series of Preferred Stock other than Designated Preferred 

Stock). 

Section 6. Conversion. Holders of Designated Preferred Stock shares shall have 

no right to exchange or convert such shares into any other securities. 
 A-9 

Section 7. Voting Rights. 

(a) General. The holders of Designated Preferred Stock shall not have any 

voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise from time to time required by law. 

(b) Preferred Stock Directors. Whenever, at any time or times, dividends 

payable on the shares of Designated Preferred Stock have not been paid for an aggregate of eight 

quarterly Dividend Periods or more, whether or not consecutive, the authorized number of 

directors of the Issuer shall automatically be increased by two and the holders of the Designated 

Preferred Stock shall have the right, with holders of shares of any one or more other classes or 

series of Voting Parity Stock outstanding at the time, voting together as a class, to elect two 

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 at a special 

meeting called for that purpose prior to such next annual meeting) and at each subsequent annual 

meeting of stockholders until dividends payable on all outstanding shares of Designated 

Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in full for four consecutive quarterly Dividend 

Period (and which shall include all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past Dividend Periods, 

including the latest completed Dividend Period (including, if applicable as provided in Section 

3(a) above, dividends on such amount)), at which time such right shall terminate with respect to 

the Designated 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. Upon any termination of the right of the holders of shares of Designated Preferred 

Stock and Voting Parity Stock as a class 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 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 Preferred Stock at 

the time outstanding voting separately as a class together with the holders of shares of Voting 

Parity Stock, to the extent the voting rights of such holders described above are then exercisable. 

If the office of any Preferred Director becomes vacant for any reason other than removal from 

office as aforesaid, the remaining Preferred Director may choose a successor who shall hold 

office for the unexpired term in respect of which such vacancy occurred. 

(c) Class Voting Rights as to Particular Matters. So long as any shares of 

Designated 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 66 

2/3% of the shares of Designated 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 

Certificate of Designations for the Designated Preferred Stock or the Charter to authorize 
 A-10 

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 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 Preferred Stock. Any amendment, alteration 

or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Designations for the Designated Preferred 

Stock or the Charter (including, unless no vote on such merger or consolidation is 

required by Section 7(c)(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 Preferred Stock; or 

(iii) Share Exchanges, Reclassifications, Mergers and Consolidations. Any 

consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Designated 

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 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 Preferred Stock immediately prior to such 

consummation, taken as a whole; 

provided, however, that for all purposes of this Section 7(c), any increase in the amount of the 

authorized Preferred Stock, including any increase in the authorized amount of Designated 

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 Preferred Stock with 

respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) 

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 

Preferred Stock. 

(d) Changes after Provision for Redemption. No vote or consent of the holders 

of Designated Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section 7(c) above if, at or prior to 

the time when any such vote or consent would otherwise be required pursuant to such Section,

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.

such a meeting or such consents shall be governed by any rules of the Board of Directors or any 

duly authorized committee 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 Preferred Stock is listed or traded at the time. 

Section 8. Restriction on Repurchases. So long as any share of Designated 

Preferred Stock remains outstanding, neither the Issuer nor any Issuer Subsidiary shall, redeem, 

purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock, Junior Stock, Parity Stock or other capital 

stock or other equity securities of any kind of the Issuer or any Issuer Subsidiary, or any trust 

preferred securities issued by the Issuer or any Affiliate of the Issuer, (other than (i) redemptions,

full (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 Preferred Stock on the applicable record date). 

Section 9. Record Holders. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the 

Issuer and the transfer agent for Designated Preferred Stock may deem and treat the record

jurisdiction (whether or not in existence as of the date hereof) related to the requirements 

imposed by the Limitations, including without limitation, a claim for any compensation or other 

payments or benefits I would otherwise receive, any challenge to the process by which the 

Limitations are or were adopted and any tort or constitutional claim about the effect of these 

Limitations on my employment relationship and I hereby agree that I will not at any time initiate, 

or cause or permit to be initiated on my behalf, any such claim against the United States, the 

Company or its directors, officers, employees or agents in or before any local, state, federal or 

other agency, court or body. 

I agree that, in the event and to the extent that the Compensation Committee of the Board of 

Directors of the Company or similar governing body (the “Committee”) reasonably determines 

that any compensatory payment and benefit provided to me, including any bonus or incentive 

compensation based on materially inaccurate financial statements or performance criteria, would 

cause the Company to fail to be in compliance with the Limitations (such payment or benefit, an 

“Excess Payment”), upon notification from the Company, I shall repay such Excess Payment to 
UST Sequence No. 767 Annex D-2 

the Company within 15 business days. In addition, I agree that the Company shall have the right 

to postpone any such payment or benefit for a reasonable period of time to enable the Committee 

to determine whether such payment or benefit would constitute an Excess Payment. 

I understand that any determination by the Committee as to whether or not, including the manner 

in which, a payment or benefit needs to be modified, terminated or repaid in order for the 

Company to be in compliance with Section 111 of the EESA and/or the Limitations shall be a 

final and conclusive determination of the Committee which shall be binding upon me. I further 

understand that the Company is relying on this letter from me in connection with its participation 

in a Program. 
UST Sequence No. 767 Annex D-3 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I execute this waiver on my own behalf, thereby communicating my 

acceptance and acknowledgement to the provisions herein. 

Respectfully,

1.2 Registration. 

(a) The Company covenants and agrees that as promptly as practicable after 

the date that the Company becomes subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) 

of the Exchange Act (and in any event no later than 30 days thereafter), the Company shall 

prepare and file with the SEC 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 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 Company 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 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). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the 

Company is not eligible to file a registration statement on Form S-3, then the Company 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 (a “Shelf Registration Statement”). 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 Company and the Company 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 Company shall not be required to facilitate an underwritten offering of 

Registrable Securities unless (i) the expected gross proceeds from such offering exceed $200,000 
UST Sequence No. 767 E-3 

or (ii) such underwritten offering includes all of 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company or its securityholders for such registration or underwritten offering 

to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer such 

registration for a period of not more than 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 Company (1) only if the Company 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 12-month period and not more than 90 days in the 

aggregate in any 12-month period. 

(d) If during any period when an effective Shelf Registration Statement is not 

available, the Company 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 Company 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 days prior to the anticipated filing date) 

and will include in such registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the 

Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within ten business days after the 

date of the Company’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 Company and the managing underwriter, if any, on or before the fifth 

business day prior to the planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company 

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. 

(e) If the registration referred to in Section 1.2(d) of this Annex E is proposed 

to be underwritten, the Company 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 Company 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 Company; 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 
UST Sequence No. 767 E-4 

may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriters 

and the Investor (if the Investor is participating in the underwriting). 

(f) If either (x) the Company 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 Company, and in either case the managing underwriters advise the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company that have been requested to be so included, subject to the 

terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the Company 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 it 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 

Company. 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 Company. 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 Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably 

practicable: 

(a) Prepare and file with the SEC 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. 

(b) Prepare and file with the SEC 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 with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration 

statement. 
UST Sequence No. 767 E-5 

(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, 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 Company 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 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. 

(f) Give written notice to the Holders: 

(i) when any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 4.1(j) of the 

Agreement or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC (except for any 

amendment effected by the filing of a document with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange 

Act) and when such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has 

become effective; 

(ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any 

registration statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information; 

(iii) of the issuance by the SEC 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 Company 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 Company 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 
UST Sequence No. 767 E-6 

(vi) if at any time the representations and warranties of the Company 

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 Company notifies the Holders in accordance with Section 1.4(f)(v) 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 Company all copies of such prospectus (at the Company’s expense) other than 

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

days that any such suspension may be in effect in any 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days. 

(i) Use reasonable best efforts to procure the cooperation of the Company’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 Company 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 

Company 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 of counsel to the 

Company, addressed to the managing underwriter(s), if any, covering the matters customarily 

covered in such opinions requested in underwritten offerings, (C) use its reasonable best efforts 

to obtain “cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the 

Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any business 

acquired by the Company 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” 
UST Sequence No. 767 E-7 

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 Company. 

(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 Company, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company 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 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 Company 

are then listed or, if no similar securities issued by the Company 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 Company 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 Company 

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 Company that the use of the prospectus and, if applicable, 

prospectus supplement may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Company, the Investor and/or 

such Holder shall deliver to the Company (at the Company’s expense) all copies, other than 
UST Sequence No. 767 E-8 

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 12-month period shall not exceed 90 days. 

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 Company. 

(b) It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 

such term is defined in Rule 405) prepared by the Company 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 Company 

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 such term is defined in Rule 

405) prepared by the Company 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 Company by such Indemnitee for use in connection with such registration 
UST Sequence No. 767 E-9 

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 Company. 

(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 Company, 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 Company, 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 Company, 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 Company or by the 

Indemnitee and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to 

correct or prevent such statement or omission; the Company 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 Company if the Company 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 any transferee or assignee of Registrable Securities; provided, however, the 

transferor shall, within ten days after such transfer, furnish to the Company 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 Company 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 Company or any securities convertible 

into or exchangeable or exercisable for preferred stock of the Company, during the period not to 

exceed ten days prior and 60 days following the effective date of such offering or such longer 

period up to 90 days as may be requested by the managing underwriter for such underwritten 

offering. The Company 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 

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 
UST Sequence No. 767 E-10 

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 Company 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
