(y) “Three-month LIBOR” means, for any LIBOR Determination Date, the offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three months that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Determination Date. If such rate does not appear on such page at such time, then the Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, selected by the Calculation Agent, to provide such bank’s offered quotation to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in U.S. dollars for a term of three months as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such LIBOR Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount that, in the judgment of the Calculation Agent, is representative for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in the relevant market at the relevant time (a “Representative Amount”). If at least two such quotations are so provided, Three-month LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, the Calculation Agent will request each of three major banks in New York City to provide such bank’s rate for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks for a term of three months as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such LIBOR Determination Date and in a Representative Amount. If three such quotations are so provided, Three-month LIBOR will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. All percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of Three-month LIBOR will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with .000005% rounded up to .00001%.

Section 4. Dividends.

(a) Rate. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will not be mandatory. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Company or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, but only out of assets legally available therefor, non-cumulative cash dividends on the liquidation preference of $1000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, commencing September 30, 2016 (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”). From the date of issuance to, but excluding, the Redemption Date (the “Fixed Rate Period”), dividends will be calculated at an annual rate of 5.50%, and from, and including, June 30, 2021 (the “Floating Rate Period”), dividends will be calculated annually at an annual rate equal to Three-month LIBOR plus 4.825%. If, following the procedure set forth in the definition of Three-month LIBOR, the Calculation Agent is unable to determine three-month LIBOR for any Floating Rate Period, then the dividend for such Floating Rate Period shall be calculated at the dividend rate in effect for the immediately preceding Dividend Period. In the event that any Dividend Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period falls on a date that is not a Business Day, then payment of any dividend payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day (without interest or other payment in respect of such delay). In the event that any Dividend Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period falls on a date that is not a Business Day, then payment of any dividend otherwise payable on such date will be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and dividends will be calculated to, but excluding, the actual payment date. However if, during the Floating Rate Period, such postponed payment date would fall in the next calendar month following the relevant Dividend Payment Date, then payment of any dividend otherwise payable on such date will be made on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Dividend Payment Date. The period from, and including, any Dividend Payment Date to, but excluding, the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date is a “Dividend Period”; provided, however, that the first Dividend Period shall be the period from, and including, the date of original issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to, but excluding, September 30, 2016; and provided, further, that, during the Floating Rate Period for purposes of determining a Dividend Period only, the Dividend Payment Date shall be the actual payment date of the applicable dividends. The record date for payment of dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall be the 15th calendar day before such Dividend Payment Date (provided, however, that if any such day is not a Business Day, then the record date will be the next succeeding day that is a Business Day) or such other date as determined by the Board of Directors of the Company or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Company. The amount of dividends payable during the Fixed Rate Period, including dividends payable for any partial Dividend Period, shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. The amount of any dividend payable during the Floating Rate Period, including dividends payable for any partial Dividend Period, shall be calculated (without duplication) on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed. Dollar amounts resulting from that calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward. The determination of Three-month LIBOR for each relevant Dividend Period by the Calculation Agent will (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding. The Calculation Agent’s determination of any dividend rate, and its calculation of the amount of any dividend payable during the Floating Rate Period, will be maintained on file at the Calculation Agent’s principal offices. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be declared, paid or set aside for payment to the extent such act would cause the Company to fail to comply with laws and regulations applicable thereto, including applicable capital adequacy guidelines.

(b) Non-Cumulative Dividends. Dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be non-cumulative. To the extent that any dividends payable on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock on any Dividend Payment Date are not declared and paid, in full or otherwise, on such Dividend Payment Date, then such unpaid dividends shall not be cumulative and shall not be payable for such Dividend Period, and the Company shall have no obligation to pay, and the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no right to receive, dividends for such Dividend Period after the Dividend Payment Date for such Dividend Period or interest with respect to such dividends, whether or not dividends are declared for any subsequent Dividend Period with respect to Series A Preferred Stock, or any other class or series of authorized preferred stock of the Company or declared at any time upon Junior Stock.

(c) Parity of Dividends Upon Preferred Stock. When dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any such Parity Stock shall be declared on a proportional basis. For purposes of calculating the proportional allocation of partial dividend payments, the Company shall allocate dividend payments based on the ratio between the then-current dividends due on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and (i) in the case of any series of Parity Stock that is non-cumulative preferred stock, the aggregate of the current and unpaid dividends due on such series of preferred stock, and (ii) in the case of any series of Parity Stock that is cumulative preferred stock, the aggregate of the current and accumulated and unpaid dividends due on such series of preferred stock. No interest will be payable in respect of any declared but unpaid dividend payment on shares of Series A Preferred Stock that is paid after the relevant Dividend Payment Date for such Dividend Period.

Section 5. Liquidation Rights.

(a) Voluntary or Involuntary Liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled, out of assets legally available therefor, before any distribution of the assets of the Company may be made to the holders of any Common Stock or of any of the Company’s shares of capital stock ranking junior as to such a distribution to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock, and subject to the rights of the holders of any class or series of securities ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock upon liquidation and the rights of the Company’s depositors and other creditors, to receive in full a liquidating distribution in the amount of the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any other amounts in the event of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company other than what is expressly provided for in this Section 5.

(b) Partial Payment. If in any distribution described in Section 5(a) above the assets of the Company are not sufficient to pay in full the liquidation preference plus any declared and unpaid dividends in full to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock and all holders of any Parity Stock ranking equally as to such distribution with the Series A Preferred Stock, the amounts paid to the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and to the holders of all such other Parity Stock shall be paid pro rata in accordance with the respective aggregate liquidation preferences plus any declared and unpaid dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and all such Parity Stock.

(c) Residual Distributions. If the liquidation preference plus any declared and unpaid dividends has been paid in full to all holders of Series A Preferred Stock and all holders of any Parity Stock ranking equally as to such distribution with the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Junior Stock shall be entitled to receive all remaining assets of the Company according to their respective rights and preferences.

(d) Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets Not Liquidation. For purposes of this Section 5, the sale, lease or exchange (for cash, securities or other property) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Company shall not constitute a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, nor shall the merger, consolidation or any other business combination transaction of the Company into or with any other entity or the merger, consolidation or any other business combination transaction of any other entity into or with the Company in which the holders of Series A Preferred Stock receive cash, securities or other property for their shares of Series A Preferred Stock, constitute a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company.

Section 6. Redemption.

(a) Optional Redemption. The Company, at the option of its Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, may redeem in whole or in part the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, on the first Dividend Payment Date that is at least five (5) years from the date of issuance of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Date”) or on any Dividend Payment Date thereafter, upon notice given as provided in Section 6(b) below. The redemption price for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be $1,000 per share plus dividends that have been declared but not paid, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends (the “Redemption Price”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days following the occurrence of a Regulatory Capital Treatment Event, the Company, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may provide notice of its intent to redeem, as provided in Section 6(b) below, and subsequently redeem, all (but not less than all) of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding at the Redemption Price applicable on such date of redemption.

(b) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be either (1) mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the holders of record of such shares to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the stock register of the Company or (2) transmitted by such other method approved by the Depositary Company, in its reasonable discretion, to the holders of record of such shares to be redeemed. Such mailing or transmittal shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Series A Preferred Stock is held in book-entry form through DTC (or a successor securities depositary), the Company may give such notice in any manner permitted by DTC (or such successor). Any notice provided pursuant to this Section 6(b) shall be

conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the holder receives such notice, but failure duly to provide such notice, or any defect in such notice or in the provision thereof, to any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series A Preferred Stock. Each notice shall state (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares of Series A 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 (or the method of determining such number); (iii) the Redemption Price; (iv) the place or places where the certificates evidencing such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and (v) that dividend rights on the shares to be redeemed will cease on the redemption date.

(c) Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of only part of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata from the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holders or by lot or in such other manner as the Board of Directors of the Company or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Company may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions of this Section 6, the Board of Directors of the Company or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time.

(d) 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 irrevocably set aside by the Company, separate and apart from its other assets, in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, so as to be and continue to be available therefor, or deposited by the Corporation with a bank or trust company selected by the Board of Directors of the Company or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors (the “Depositary Company”) in trust for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares called for redemption, then, notwithstanding that any certificate for any share so called for redemption has not been surrendered for cancellation, on and after the redemption date all shares so called for redemption shall cease to be outstanding, all dividends with respect to such shares shall cease to accrue after such redemption date, 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 the Depository Company at any time after the redemption date from the funds so deposited, without interest. The Company shall be entitled to receive, from time to time, from the Depositary Company any interest accrued on such funds, and the holders of any shares called for redemption shall have no claim to any such interest. Any funds so deposited and unclaimed at the end of two years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released or repaid to the Company, after which time the holders of the shares so called for redemption shall look only to the Company for payment of the redemption price of such shares.

Section 7. Voting Rights.

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have no voting rights and will not be entitled to elect any directors, except as expressly provided by law.

Section 8. Changes for Clarification.

Without the consent of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, so long as such action does not adversely affect the powers, preferences, privileges or rights of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Company may amend, alter, supplement or repeal any terms of the Series A Preferred Stock:

(a) to cure any ambiguity, or to cure, correct or supplement any provision contained in this Certificate of Designation that may be defective or inconsistent; or

(b) to make any provision with respect to matters or questions arising with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock that is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Certificate of Designation.

Section 9. Changes after Provision for Redemption.

No vote or consent of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be required pursuant to Section 7 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 Series A Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed, or shall have been called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been set aside for such redemption, in each case pursuant to Section 6 above.

Section 10. Conversion.

The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any rights to convert such Series A Preferred Stock into shares of any other class of capital stock of the Company.

Section 11. Rank.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee thereof may, without the vote of the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, authorize and issue additional shares of Junior Stock or shares of any class or series of stock of the Company now existing or hereafter authorized that ranks equally with the Series A Preferred Stock in the payment of dividends or in the distribution of assets on any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company.

Section 12. Repurchase.

Subject to the limitations imposed herein, the Company may purchase Series A Preferred Stock from time to time to such extent, in such manner, and upon such terms as the Board of Directors of the Company or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Company may determine; provided, however, that the Company shall not use any of its funds for any such purchase when there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Company is, or by such purchase would be, rendered insolvent.

Section 13. Unissued or Reacquired Shares.

Shares of Series A Preferred Stock not issued or which have been issued, redeemed or otherwise purchased or acquired by the Company shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock without designation as to series.

Section 14. No Sinking Fund.

The Series A Preferred Stock will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have no right to require redemption or repurchase of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

Section 15. Record Holders.

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

Section 16. Notices.

All notices or communications in respect of the Series A 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 Designation, the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws or by applicable law.

Section 17. No Preemptive Rights.

No share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have any rights of preemption whatsoever as to any securities of the Company, 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 18. Other Rights.

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any voting powers, preferences or relative, participating, optional or other special rights, or qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, other than as set forth herein or in the Articles of Incorporation or as provided by applicable law.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Shares involves risk. Before deciding to invest in the Shares, you should carefully consider the following factors and the other information in the documents incorporated by reference herein, including the Designation Certificate and the risks described under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2016. If any of these risks occurs, our business, financial condition, and results of operations could suffer, and the value of the Shares could decline substantially, in which case you could lose part or all of your investment.

Dividends on the Shares are discretionary and may not be declared in full or at all if the Company’s Board of Directors elects not to declare dividends in respect of any financial year.

If declared by the Company’s Board of Directors in its discretion, dividends would be paid on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per Share, quarterly in arrears on each March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31, commencing September 30, 2016. You should carefully review Section 4 of the Designation Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C for a complete description of the dividend policy with respect to the Shares.

Dividends on the Shares are non-cumulative and holders of the Shares will have no claim in respect of undeclared dividends.

Dividends on the Shares are non-cumulative. If the Company’s Board of Directors does not declare dividends or any part thereof in respect of any Shares, then holders of the Shares will have no claim in respect of the non-payment and the Company will have no obligation to pay those dividends or to pay any interest on the dividends, whether or not dividends on the Shares are declared for any future dividend period.

The Shares are subject to redemption at the option of the Company’s Board of Directors.

The Company, at the option of its Board of Directors, may redeem in whole or in part the Shares on the first Dividend Payment Date that is at least five (5) years from the date of issuance of such Shares or on any Dividend Payment Date thereafter, at a redemption price of $1,000 per Share plus dividends that have been declared but not paid, but without accumulation of any undeclared dividends. You should carefully review Section 6 of the Designation Certificate for a complete description of the Company’s right to redeem the Shares.

If the Company’s financial condition were to deteriorate, you could lose all or a part of your investment.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends is conditional upon the extent to which it has distributable funds in respect of any financial year, which will be affected by its financial condition. If the Company’s financial condition were to deteriorate, you might not receive any dividends on the Shares. If the Company liquidates, dissolves or winds up, you could lose all or part of your investment.

If the Company is wound-up or liquidated, any distribution on the Shares will be subordinated to the claims of the Company’s creditors.

If the Company is wound-up or liquidated, voluntarily or involuntarily, you will not be entitled to receive any liquidation preference on the Shares until after the claims of all of the Company’s creditors have been satisfied. If the Company does not have sufficient assets at the time of liquidation to satisfy those claims, you will not receive any liquidation preference on the Shares. There is no limitation on the Company’s ability to issue debt or equity securities in the future that would rank equal or senior in liquidation to the Shares.

Investors may be required to bear the financial risks of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time.

The Shares do not have a maturity or mandatory final redemption date and investors will have no right to compel redemption of the Shares. Although the Company may redeem Shares in accordance with their terms, the Company has no obligation to do so. In addition, the Shares are subject to restrictions on transferability and resale and may not be transferred or resold except as permitted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the applicable state securities laws, pursuant to registration or exemption therefrom. Therefore, you should be aware that you may be required to bear the financial risks of an investment in the Shares for an indefinite period of time.

Holders of the Shares do not have the voting rights of the Company’s common shareholders.

As a holder of the Shares, you will not be entitled to receive notice of, attend or vote at any general meeting of our common shareholders.
