“This Certificate evidences a Common Interest in the American Stock Transfer &
Trust Company, LLC (the “Company”) and shall be a
security for purposes of Article
8 of the Uniform Commercial Code. The Common Interest represented by this
Certificate, and any sale, pledge, hypothecation or transfer thereof, are subject
to the provisions of the Limited Liability Trust Company Agreement of the Company
dated as of May 27, 2008 (as may be amended from time to time, the “LLTC
Agreement”) and the Shareholders Agreement dated as of May 27, 2008 among the

register or transfer books of the Company; provided, that any Certificates presented or
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by the holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not be required to register the transfer, or exchange, any Certificate if as a result the
transfer of the Common Interest at issue would cause the Company or the Member to violate the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act, the Investment Company Act, or the laws,
rules, regulations,
orders and other directives of any Governmental Authority or otherwise violate the terms of this
Agreement or the Shareholders Agreement.
j. Record Holder. Except to the extent that the Company shall have received written
notice of an assignment of Common Interests and such assignment complies with the requirements of

owner thereof, and shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to, or interest in,
such Common Interests on the part of any other individual or entity.

Company, or the Company receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Certificate, the Company shall issue a replacement Certificate if the requirements of Section
8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code are met. If required by the Company, an indemnity and/or the
deposit of a bond in such form and in such sum, and with such surety or sureties as the Company may
direct, must be supplied by the holder of such lost, destroyed or stolen Certificate that is
sufficient in the judgment of the Company to protect the Company from any loss that it may suffer
if a Certificate is replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses incurred in connection with
replacing a Certificate.

any act or omission (in relation to the Company, its property or the

involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its management of the affairs of the Company or
which relates to or arises out of the Company or its property, business or affairs. A Covered
Person shall not be entitled to indemnification under this Section 8 with respect to (i) any Claim
with respect to which such Covered Person has engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, bad faith or
gross negligence or (ii) any Claim initiated by such Covered Person unless such Claim (or part
thereof) (A) was brought to enforce such Covered Person’s rights to indemnification hereunder or
(B) was authorized or consented to by the Board. Expenses incurred by a Covered Person in
defending any Claim shall be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such Claim

to purchase and maintain insurance in accordance with, and subject to, the Act and Banking Law.

modification.
