Notwithstanding anything in
this Agreement to the contrary, the Company shall not be obligated pursuant to Sections 4.3(a) or (b)(iii) though (v)
to provide information that it reasonably considers to be confidential supervisory information, confidential competitive information or
for which it reasonably determines the disclosure of which will violate applicable law (including applicable bank secrecy laws and similar
legislation) or result in the loss of any legal privilege; provided, however, that if the foregoing applies the Company shall use reasonable
efforts to make substitute disclosure arrangements (including redacting information) that would enable the provision of such information
without disclosing such competitive information, violating such law or losing such privilege.


 


4.4

(a)              
Neither the Company nor the Company Subsidiary shall take any action (including any redemption, repurchase, or recapitalization
of Voting Securities or Nonvoting Securities of the Company, or securities or rights, options or warrants to purchase Voting Securities
or Nonvoting Securities of the Company, or securities of any type whatsoever that are, or may become, convertible into or exchangeable
into or exercisable for Voting Securities or Nonvoting Securities of the Company, except where, solely with respect to any such redemption,
repurchase or recapitalization of the Common Stock, the Investor is given the right to participate in such redemption, repurchase or recapitalization
to the extent of the Investor’s pro rata proportion), that would cause the Investor’s total aggregate ownership percentage
of Voting Securities and Nonvoting Securities of the Company to exceed 24.9% of the total issued and outstanding equity of the Company,
consistent with the restrictions set forth in the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (the “Federal Reserve”)
guidance for non-controlling equity investments, without the prior written consent of the Investor; provided, that in the event
of a sale, merger, consolidation or other similar transaction involving the Company, the Company shall not take any action that would
cause the Investor to own more than 24.9% of the total issued and outstanding equity, of the acquirer or surviving company, as applicable,
following consummation of any such transaction. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Voting Securities” shall have
such meaning as defined in 12 CFR 225.2(q)(1) and “Nonvoting Securities” shall have such meaning as defined in 12 CFR
225.2(q)(2), as may be amended or modified from time to time.


 






    11


     


    

 


(b)              
In the event that the Company breaches its obligations under Section 4.6(a) or believes that it is reasonably likely to
breach such obligations, it shall notify the Investor as promptly as practicable (and, to the extent applicable, prior to any such breach
having occurred) and shall cooperate in good faith with the Investor to modify any ownership or
other arrangements or take any other action, in each case, as is necessary to cure or avoid such breach, in accordance with Sections
4.6(c).


 


(c)              
In the event of (i) a determination by the Investor, based on advice of counsel (including
internal counsel) that (A) it is impermissible under the BHC Act or other applicable law
or regulatory or supervisory guidance for the Investor to continue to hold, directly or indirectly, without limitation or otherwise, any
Shares, or (B) such continued holding of the Shares would be reasonably likely to result in the imposition of conditions or restrictions
on the Investor’s activities or regulatory or supervisory requirements on the Investor arising under the BHC Act or other applicable
law or regulatory or supervisory guidance (including any requirement that the Investor obtain an approval under the BHC Act); or (ii)
the occurrence of any of the following: (A) a determination by the Federal Reserve that the Investor “controls” the Company
(as “control” is used for purposes of the BHC Act), or an affirmative indication that the Federal Reserve would likely take
such a view (through published guidance or other supervisory communications); (B) any other regulatory requirement, instruction or request
by a governmental entity having jurisdiction over the Investor that the Investor divest or reduce its equity interest in the Company;
or (C) a determination by the Investor, based on the advice of counsel (including internal counsel) that divesting or reducing its equity
interest in the Company is necessary or advisable to satisfy legal and/or regulatory requirements or supervisory expectations (any occurrence
referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, a “Regulatory Trigger Event”), then the Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to consult and cooperate with the Investor in order to restructure the Investor’s investment in the Company in
a manner that avoids or remediates the matters giving rise to the Regulatory Trigger Event to the reasonable satisfaction of the Investor,
taking account of legal or regulatory restrictions applicable to the Company. If any such avoidance or remediation involves the sale by
the Investor of all or a portion of the Shares to a third party, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate
such sale and transfer, including by making the Company’s management reasonably available during normal business hours to the prospective
purchaser(s) of the Shares and providing customary due diligence material, subject to customary confidentiality undertakings.

The Investor (or any Affiliate to which the Investor has transferred Shares) may, at any
time in its discretion, including in connection with any Regulatory Trigger Event, elect to voluntarily surrender to the Company any or
all of the Shares (a “Voluntary Surrender”). The Company shall, upon written notice of the Investor’s intention
to effect a Voluntary Surrender (the “Notice of Surrender”), accept the surrender of such Shares as a contribution
to the Company for no consideration payable to or by the Investor. The Company shall accept all such Shares specified in the Notice of
Surrender as soon as practicable, which surrendered Shares shall be retired by the Company for accounting purposes and treated as authorized
but unissued shares of the Company. The exercise of a Voluntary Surrender shall be within the Investor’s sole and exclusive discretion
and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedies available to the Investor under this Agreement.

Anti-Corruption Laws. In addition, the Company shall inform Investor in writing promptly after receiving any written notice of any inquiry
or request from any governmental authority relating to whether the Company or Company Subsidiaries are in compliance with any applicable
laws (each, a “Regulatory Inquiry”). As to any such Regulatory Inquiry, the Company shall keep Investor reasonably

	Covenants Related to Regulatory Matters:	For the avoidance of doubt, the Company will not take, or omit to take, any action, that will result in the Investor holding or controlling more than 24.9% of the total issued and outstanding equity of the Company, consistent with the restrictions set forth in Section 3(a)(3) of the BHC Act and the Federal Reserve Board’s guidance for non-controlling equity investments.
	Ranking:	The Series F Preferred Stock will rank (i) pari passu with the Preferred Stock and (ii) senior to the Common Stock.
	Conversion Rights:	None.
	Liquidation Preference:	In the event of a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the assets of the Company, the Investor will first receive an amount equal to the Purchase Price, together with declared but unpaid dividends (the “Liquidation Amount”), before the distribution of any proceeds to holders of Common Stock.
	Dividends:	
    Dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock shall not be cumulative.

     

    On each date that dividends (other than Common Stock) are payable in
    respect of Common Stock, holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, if and as declared by the board of directors
    of the Company, dividends in an amount per share equal to the aggregate amount of such dividends or other distributions that would be
    payable on such date to a holder of the number of 563,063 shares of Common Stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments.

	Priority on Dividends: 	
    So long as any share of Series F Preferred Stock is outstanding, no
    dividends may be declared on the Common Stock unless full dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock for the corresponding dividend payment
    date have been declared, no dividends may be paid on the Common Stock unless full dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock for the corresponding
    dividend payment date have been paid, and no dividends may be declared or paid on any other class or series of junior stock unless full
    dividends have been declared and paid (or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof has been set aside) in the immediately
    preceding calendar quarter.

     

    If full dividends are not paid on the Series F Preferred Stock, then
    any dividends declared on parity stock must be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared on the Series F Preferred
    Stock and the parity stock bear the same ratio to each other as all dividends accrued on the Series F Preferred Stock and all such parity
    stock bear to each other.

     

	Capital Treatment:	The Shares are intended to qualify as additional Tier 1 capital, consistent with the requirements set forth at 12 C.F.R. § 217.20.
	Redemption Rights:	
    Not redeemable at the option of the Investor.

     

    Redeemable only at the Company’s discretion (i) in whole or in
    part, on or after the date that is five years following the Closing Date or (ii) in whole but not in part within 90 days of a regulatory
    capital treatment event, in each case, consistent with the terms set forth in 12 C.F.R. § 217.20.

     

	Voting Rights (Protective Provisions):	
    None, except that the approval of the holders of a majority of the
    Series F Preferred Stock, voting as a single class, will be required with respect to certain matters, including the following:

     

    •       charter or bylaw amendments adversely affecting
    the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series F Preferred Stock;

     

    •       creation of any series of senior equity securities;

     

    •       mergers, reclassifications and similar events, if the class would be adversely affected by such event or if
    the terms of any stock into which this stock converts are not substantially the same; and

     

    •       as otherwise provided by law.

     





  
	Reorganization Event:	
    The merger, consolidation or other business combination of the Company
    with or into any other corporation, including a transaction in which the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock receive cash or property
    for their shares, or the sale, conveyance, lease, exchange or transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration)
    of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (each, a “Reorganization Event”), shall not constitute a liquidation,
    dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

     

    Prior to a Reorganization Event, the Company and the Investor will
    consult with one another in good faith regarding the Investor’s status as a stockholder of the Company.
