Section 8. Conditions of Obligations of the Underwriters. The obligations of the Underwriters hereunder shall be subject, in their discretion, to the condition that (i) all representations and warranties and other statements of the Company herein are, at and as of the Time of Delivery, true and correct (ii) the Company shall have performed all of its obligations hereunder theretofore to be performed and (iii) the following additional conditions:

(f) No Ratings Downgrade.

Section 9. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) (i) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter specifically for use therein or (ii) result from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of the Auction Service Provider.

(b) Indemnification of the Company. Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the Registration Statement, the Basic Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or any such amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter specifically for use therein; and will reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred.

(c) Notice and Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the

 

14


indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under such subsection except and then only to the extent such indemnifying party is materially prejudiced thereby. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal expenses of other counsel or any other expenses, in each case subsequently incurred by such indemnified party, in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Securities to which such loss, claim, damage or liability (or action in respect thereof) relates. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law or if the indemnified party failed to give the notice required under subsection (c) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters, in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this subsection (d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above in this subsection (d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of

 

15


this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.

(e) Limitation on Liability. The obligations of the Company under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to the directors and officers of each Underwriter and to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act and the Exchange Act, each broker-dealer affiliate of any Underwriter and each officer and director of such affiliate; and the obligations of the Underwriters under this Section 9 shall be in addition to any liability which the respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each officer and director of the Company and to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.

Section 10. Default by Underwriter.

(a) If any Underwriter shall default in its obligation to purchase the Securities which it has agreed to purchase hereunder, the Representatives may in their discretion arrange for the Underwriters or another party or other parties to purchase such Securities on the terms contained herein. If within thirty-six hours after such default by any Underwriter the Representatives do not arrange for the purchase of such Securities, then the Company shall be entitled to a further period of thirty-six hours within which to procure another party or other parties satisfactory to the Representatives to purchase such Securities on such terms. In the event that, within the respective prescribed periods, the Representatives notify the Company that the Representatives have so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, or the Company notifies the Representatives that it has so arranged for the purchase of such Securities, the Representatives or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Time of Delivery for a period of not more than seven days, in order to effect whatever changes may thereby be made necessary in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, and the Company agrees to file promptly any amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus which in the opinion of the Company and the Representatives may thereby be made necessary. The term “Underwriter” as used in this Agreement shall include any person substituted under this Section 10 with like effect as if such person had originally been a party to this Agreement with respect to such Securities.

(b) If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Securities which remains unpurchased does not exceed one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Securities, then the Company shall have the right to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase the number of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder and, in addition, to require each non-defaulting Underwriter to purchase its pro rata share (based on the number of Securities which such Underwriter agreed to purchase hereunder) of the Securities of such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters for which such arrangements have not been made; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

If, after giving effect to any arrangements for the purchase of the Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters by the Representatives and the Company as provided in subsection (a) above, the aggregate number of such Securities to be purchased which remains unpurchased exceeds one-eleventh of the aggregate number of all the Securities, or if the Company shall not exercise the right

 

16


described in subsection (b) above to require non-defaulting Underwriters to purchase Securities of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters, then this Agreement shall thereupon terminate, without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except for the expenses to be borne by the Company and the Underwriters as provided in Section 7 hereof and the indemnity and contribution agreements in Section 9 hereof; but nothing herein shall relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.

Section 11. Survival of Provisions.

on the basis of the rates at which deposits in U.S. dollars for a three-month period commencing on the first day of such Series A Dividend Period and in a Representative Amount are offered to prime banks in the London interbank market by four major banks in the London interbank market selected by the Series A Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Series A Determination Date. The Series A Calculation Agent will request the principal London office of each of such banks to provide a quotation of such rate (expressed as a percentage per annum). If at least two such quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR with respect to such Series A Dividend Period will be the arithmetic mean (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest .00001 of 1%) of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR with respect to such Series A Dividend Period will be determined on the basis of the rates quoted by three major banks in New York City selected by the Series A Calculation Agent, at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Series A Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars in a Representative Amount to leading European banks for a three-month period commencing on the first day of such Series A Dividend Period.

If no such rate appears on Reuters screen page “LIBOR01” on the Series G Determination Date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the Series G Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Corporation, will select four major banks in the London interbank market and will request each of their principal London offices to provide a quotation of the rate at which three-month deposits in U.S. dollars in amounts of at least $1,000,000 are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market, on that date and at that time, that is representative of single transactions at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic average (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest .00001 of 1%) of the quotations provided. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the Series G Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Corporation, will select three major banks in New York City and will request each of them to provide a quotation of the rate offered by it at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Series G Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading

European banks having an index maturity of three months for the applicable Series G Dividend Period in an amount of at least $1,000,000 that is representative of single transactions at that time. If three quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest .00001 of 1%) of the quotations provided. If fewer than three quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR for the next Series G Dividend Period will be equal to Three-Month LIBOR in effect for the then-current Series G Dividend Period. Absent manifest error, the Series G Calculation Agent’s determination of Three-Month LIBOR for a Series G Dividend Period will be binding and conclusive, and the Series G Calculation Agent will notify the Corporation of each determination of Three-Month LIBOR and will make the dividend rate for a Series G Dividend Period available to any stockholder upon request.

(iii) With respect to any Series I Dividend Period, the London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having an index maturity of three months in amounts of at least $1,000,000, as that rate appears on Reuters screen page “LIBOR01” at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Series I Determination Date. If no such rate appears on Reuters screen page “LIBOR01” on the Series I Determination Date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the Series I Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Corporation, will select four major banks in the London interbank market and will request each of their principal London offices to provide a quotation of the rate at which three-month deposits in U.S. dollars in amounts of at least $1,000,000 are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market, on that date and at that time, that is representative of single transactions at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic average (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest .00001 of 1%) of the quotations provided. If fewer than two quotations are provided, the Series I Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Corporation, will select three major banks in New York City and will request each of them to provide a quotation of the rate offered by it at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Series I Determination Date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having an index maturity of three months for the applicable Series I Dividend Period in an amount of at least $1,000,000 that is representative of single transactions at that time. If three quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR will be the arithmetic average (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest .00001 of 1%) of the quotations provided. If fewer than three quotations are provided, Three-Month LIBOR for the next Series I Dividend Period will be equal to Three-Month LIBOR in effect for the then-current Series I Dividend Period. Absent manifest error, the Series I Calculation Agent’s determination of Three-Month LIBOR for a Series I Dividend Period will be binding and conclusive, and the Series I Calculation Agent will notify the Corporation of each determination of Three-Month LIBOR and will make the dividend rate for a Series I Dividend Period available to any stockholder upon request.

(iii) With respect to any Series J Dividend Period, the London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having an index maturity of three months in amounts of at least $1,000,000, as that rate appears on Reuters screen page “LIBOR01” at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Series J Determination Date. If no such

Section 3. Series A Preferred Stock

(a) Designation of Series A Floating-Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. A series of Preferred Stock shall be hereby designated “Series A Floating-Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock” (hereinafter referred to as “Series A Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects to every other share of Series A Preferred Stock. Series A Preferred Stock will rank equally with Parity Stock, if any, and will rank senior to Junior Stock, in each case with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) Number of Shares. The number of authorized shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be 140,000. Such number may from time to time be increased (but not in excess of the then total number of authorized and undesignated shares of Preferred Stock) or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding) by further resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and by the filing of Articles of Amendment pursuant to the provisions of the UBCA stating that such increase or reduction, as the case may be, has been so authorized. The Corporation shall have the authority to issue fractional shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(c) Dividends.

(i) Rate. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, but only out of assets

 

13


legally available for the payment of dividends under the UBCA, non-cumulative cash dividends on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock, and no more, payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year commencing March 15, 2007; provided, however, if any such day is not a Business Day, then payment of any dividend otherwise payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) (each such day on which dividends are payable, a “Series A Dividend Payment Date”). The period from and including any Series A Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Series A Dividend Payment Date is a “Series A Dividend Period”; provided, however, that the first Series A Dividend Period shall be the period from and including the date of original issuance of Series A Preferred Stock to but excluding the next Series A Dividend Payment Date; provided, further, that if additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued subsequently, the first Series A Dividend Period with respect to such shares shall be (A) if the date of such subsequent issuance is a Series A Dividend Payment Date, the period from and including such Series A Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Series A Dividend Payment Date and (B) if the date of such subsequent issuance is not a Series A Dividend Payment Date, the period from and including the most recent Series A Dividend Payment Date preceding the date of such subsequent issuance to but excluding the next Series A Dividend Payment Date. Dividends on each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be payable, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (A) Three-Month LIBOR plus 0.520% or (B) 4.000%. The record date for payment of dividends on Series A Preferred Stock shall be the March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 immediately preceding the respective Series A Dividend Payment Date. The amount of dividends payable per share of Series A Preferred Stock on each Series A Dividend Payment Date shall be calculated by multiplying (A) the per annum rate described above in effect for the related Series A Dividend Period by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the actual number of days in such Series A Dividend Period and the denominator of which shall be 360, and by (C) $1,000. No interest will be payable in respect of any dividend payment on shares of Series A Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.

(ii) 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 Series A Dividend Payment Date are not declared and paid, in full or otherwise, on such Series A Dividend Payment Date, then such unpaid dividends shall not accrue or be payable and the Corporation shall have no obligation to pay dividends for such Series A Dividend Period, whether or not dividends on Series A Preferred Stock are declared for any future Series A Dividend Period.

(iii) Priority of Dividends. During any Series A Dividend Period, so long as any share of Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding, unless dividends in an amount computed in accordance with Section 3(c)(i) for each share of Series A Preferred Stock as of the Series A Dividend Payment Date for the then-current Series A Dividend

 

14


Period have been paid, or declared and funds set aside therefor, and the Corporation is not in default on its obligations to redeem any shares of Series A Preferred Stock that have been called for redemption, (A) no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment and no distribution shall be declared or made or set aside for payment on any Junior Stock, other than a dividend payable solely in Junior Stock, (B) no shares of Junior Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (other than as a result of a reclassification of Junior Stock for or into other Junior Stock, or the exchange or conversion of one share of Junior Stock for or into another share of Junior Stock, and other than through the use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other shares of Junior Stock), nor shall any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares by the Corporation, and (C) no shares of Parity Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation otherwise than pursuant to pro rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of Series A Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock, except by conversion into or exchange for Junior Stock. On any Series A Dividend Payment Date for which 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 Parity Stock for payment on such Series A Dividend Payment Date shall be declared on a proportionate basis. Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be declared and paid on any Junior Stock or Parity Stock from time to time out of any assets legally available therefor, and the shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend.

(d) Redemption.

(i) Optional Redemption. Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to December 15, 2011. On and after such date, the Corporation, at the option of its Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, may redeem in whole or in part the shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding upon notice given as provided in Section 3(d)(ii) below. The redemption price for shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be $1,000 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, through but not including the redemption date. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any right to require the redemption or repurchase of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(ii) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be mailed by first class mail to the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the stock register of the Corporation. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption (provided that, if depositary shares representing Series A Preferred Stock or Series A Preferred Stock are held in book-entry

 

15


form through the DTC, the Corporation may give notice in any manner permitted by the DTC). Any notice mailed as provided in this Section 3(d)(ii) 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 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 (A) the redemption date, (B) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder, (C) the redemption price, (D) the place or places where the certificates for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and (E) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date.

(iii) 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 Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3(d), the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation 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.

(iv) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock has been duly given and if the funds necessary for the redemption have been set aside by the Corporation for the benefit of the holder of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption, separate and apart from its other assets, in trust, 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 Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Series A 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 (A) all shares so called for redemption shall cease to be outstanding, (B) all declared but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares shall cease to accrue, and (C) 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 Series A Depositary Company at any time after the redemption date from the funds so deposited, without interest. The Corporation shall be entitled to receive, from time to time, from the Series A 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 three

 

16


years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released or repaid to the Corporation, and in the event of such repayment to the Corporation, the holders of record of the shares so called for redemption shall be deemed to be unsecured creditors of the Corporation for an amount equivalent to the amount deposited as stated above for the redemption of such shares and so repaid to the Corporation, but shall in no event be entitled to any interest.

Section 4. Series C Preferred Stock

(a) Designation of 9.50% Series C Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. A series of Preferred Stock shall be hereby designated “9.50% Series C Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock” (hereinafter referred to as “Series C Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects to every other share of Series C Preferred Stock. Series C Preferred Stock will rank equally with Parity Stock, if any, and will rank senior to Junior Stock in each case with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) Number of Shares. The number of authorized shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be 1,400,000. Such number may from time to time be increased (but not in excess of the then total number of authorized and undesignated shares of Preferred Stock) or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock then outstanding) by further resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and by the filing of Articles of Amendment pursuant to the provisions of the UBCA stating that such increase or reduction, as the case may be, has been so authorized. The Corporation shall have the authority to issue fractional shares of Series C Preferred Stock.

(c) Dividends.

(i) Rate. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, but only out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends under the UBCA, non-cumulative cash dividends on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series C Preferred Stock, and no more, payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year commencing September 15, 2008; provided, however, if any such day is not a Business Day, then payment of any dividend otherwise payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) (each such day on which dividends are payable, a “Series C Dividend Payment Date”). The period from and including any Series C Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Series C Dividend Payment Date is a “Series C Dividend Period”; provided, however, that the first Series C Dividend Period

 

17


shall be the period from and including the date of original issuance of Series C Preferred Stock to but excluding the next Series C Dividend Payment Date; provided, further, that if additional shares of Series C Preferred Stock are issued subsequently, the first Series C Dividend Period with respect to such shares shall be (A) if the date of such subsequent issuance is a Series C Dividend Payment Date, the period from and including such Series C Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Series C Dividend Payment Date and (B) if the date of such subsequent issuance is not a Series C Dividend Payment Date, the period from and including the most recent Series C Dividend Payment Date preceding the date of such subsequent issuance to but excluding the next Series C Dividend Payment Date.

The record date for payment of dividends on Series C Preferred Stock shall be the March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 immediately preceding the respective Series C Dividend Payment Date.

(iii) Priority of Dividends. During any Series C Dividend Period (other than the first Series C Dividend Period), so long as any share of Series C Preferred Stock remains outstanding, unless dividends in an amount computed in accordance with Section 4(c)(i) for each share of Series C Preferred Stock as of the Series C Dividend Payment Date for the then-current Series C Dividend Period have been paid, or declared and funds set aside therefor, and the Corporation is not in default on its obligations to redeem any shares of Series C Preferred Stock that have been called for redemption, (A) no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment and no distribution shall be declared or made or set aside for payment on any Junior Stock, other than a dividend payable solely in Junior Stock, (B) no shares of Junior Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation,

Section 5. Series F Preferred Stock

(a) Designation of Series F Fixed-Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. A series of Preferred Stock shall be hereby designated “Series F Fixed-Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock” (hereinafter referred to as “Series F Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series F Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects to every other share of Series F Preferred Stock.

(b) Number of Shares. The number of authorized shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be 250,000. Such number may from time to time be increased (but not in excess of the then total number of authorized and undesignated shares of Preferred Stock) or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding) by further resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and by the filing of Articles of Amendment pursuant to the provisions of the UBCA stating that such increase or reduction, as the case may be, has been so authorized. The Corporation shall have the authority to issue fractional shares of Series F Preferred Stock.

(c) Dividends.

(i) Rate. Holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, but only out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends under the UBCA, non-cumulative cash dividends on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series F Preferred Stock, and no more, payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year commencing June 15, 2012; provided, however, if any such day is not a Business Day, then payment of any dividend otherwise payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) (each such day on which dividends are payable, a “Series F Dividend Payment Date”). The period from and including any Series F Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Series F Dividend Payment Date is a “Series F Dividend Period”; provided, however, that the first Series F Dividend Period shall be the period from and including the date of original issuance of Series F Preferred Stock to but excluding the next Series F Dividend Payment Date; provided, further, that if additional shares of Series F Preferred Stock are issued subsequently, the first Series F Dividend Period with respect to such shares shall be (A) if the date of such subsequent issuance is a Series F Dividend Payment Date, the period from and including such Series F Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Series F Dividend Payment Date and (B) if the date of such subsequent issuance is not a Series F Dividend Payment Date, the

The amount of dividends payable per share of Series F Preferred Stock on each Series F Dividend Payment Date shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in any period of less than one month. The amount of dividends payable per share of Series F Preferred Stock on each Series F Dividend Payment Date for each full dividend period will be calculated by multiplying the per annum dividend rate described above in effect for the related Series F Dividend Period by 1/4, and multiplying the rate obtained by $1,000. No interest will be payable in respect of any dividend payment on shares of Series F Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.

(ii) Non-Cumulative Dividends. Dividends on shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be non-cumulative. To the extent that any dividends payable on the shares of Series F Preferred Stock on any Series F Dividend Payment Date are not declared and paid, in full or otherwise, on such Series F Dividend Payment Date, then such unpaid dividends shall not accrue or be payable and the Corporation shall have no obligation to pay dividends for such Series F Dividend Period, whether or not dividends on Series F Preferred Stock are declared for any future Series F Dividend Period.

During any Series F Dividend Period (other than the first Series F Dividend Period), so long as any share of Series F Preferred Stock remains outstanding, unless dividends in an amount computed in accordance with Section 5(c)(i) for each share of Series F Preferred Stock as of the Series F Dividend Payment Date for the then-current Series F Dividend Period have been paid, or declared and funds set aside therefor, and the Corporation is not in default on its obligations to redeem any shares of Series F Preferred Stock that have been called for redemption, (A) no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment and no distribution shall be declared or made or set aside for payment on any Junior Stock, other than a dividend payable solely in Junior Stock, (B) no shares of Junior Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (other than as a result of a reclassification of Junior Stock for or into other Junior Stock, or the exchange or conversion of one share of Junior Stock for or into another share of Junior Stock, and other than through the use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other shares of Junior Stock), nor shall any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares by the Corporation, and (C) no

 

22


shares of Parity Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation otherwise than pursuant to pro rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of Series F Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock, except by conversion into or in exchange for Junior Stock. On any Series F Dividend Payment Date for which dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of Series F Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Series F Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock for payment on such Series F Dividend Payment Date shall be declared on a proportionate basis. Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be declared and paid on any Junior Stock or Parity Stock from time to time out of any assets legally available therefor, and the shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend.

(d) Redemption.

(i) Optional Redemption. Series F Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to June 15, 2017. On such date and every day thereafter (hereinafter referred to as a “Series F Redemption Date”), the Corporation, at the option of its Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, may redeem in whole or in part the shares of Series F Preferred Stock at the time outstanding upon notice given as provided in Section 5(d)(ii) below. The redemption price for shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be $1,000 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, through but not including the Series F Redemption Date; provided, however, if any such day is not a Business Day, then any shares called for redemption will be redeemed on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and any payment otherwise payable on the Series F Redemption Date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). Holders of Series F Preferred Stock shall not have any right to require the redemption or repurchase of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days following the occurrence of a Series F Regulatory Capital Treatment Event, the Corporation, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, all (but not less than all) of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, through but not including the date of such redemption, upon notice given as provided in Section 5(d)(ii) below.

(ii) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be mailed by first class mail to the holders of record of Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the stock register of the Corporation. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption (provided that, if depositary shares representing Series F Preferred Stock or Series F Preferred Stock are held in book-entry

 

23


form through the DTC, the Corporation may give notice in any manner permitted by the DTC). Any notice mailed as provided in this Section 5(d)(ii) 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 Series F Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series F Preferred Stock. Each notice shall state (A) the redemption date, (B) the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder, (C) the redemption price, (D) the place or places where the certificates evidencing shares of Series F Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and (E) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date.

(iii) Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of only part of the shares of Series F Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares of Series F Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata from the holders of record of Series F Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of Series F Preferred Stock held by such holders or by lot or in such other manner as the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions of this Section 5(d), the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time.

(iv) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock has been duly given and if the funds necessary for the redemption have been set aside by the Corporation for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Series F Preferred Stock so called for redemption, separate and apart from its other assets, in trust, 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 Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Series F 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 (A) all shares so called for redemption shall cease to be outstanding, (B) all declared but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares shall cease to accrue, and (C) 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 Series F Depositary Company at any time after the redemption date from the funds so deposited, without interest. The Corporation shall be entitled to receive, from time to time, from the Series F 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 three

 

24


years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released or repaid to the Corporation, and in the event of such repayment to the Corporation, the holders of record of the shares so called for redemption shall be deemed to be unsecured creditors of the Corporation for an amount equivalent to the amount deposited as stated above for the redemption of such shares and so repaid to the Corporation, but shall in no event be entitled to any interest.

Section 6. Series G Preferred Stock

(a) Designation of Series G Fixed/Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. A series of Preferred Stock shall be hereby designated “Series G Fixed/Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock” (hereinafter referred to as “Series G Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series G Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects to every other share of Series G Preferred Stock. Series G Preferred Stock will rank equally with Parity Stock, if any, and will rank senior to Junior Stock in each case with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) Number of Shares. The number of authorized shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall be 200,000. Such number may from time to time be increased (but not in excess of the then total number of authorized and undesignated shares of Preferred Stock) or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Series G Preferred Stock then outstanding) by further resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and by the filing of Articles of Amendment pursuant to the provisions of the UBCA stating that such increase or reduction, as the case may be, has been so authorized. The Corporation shall have the authority to issue fractional shares of Series G Preferred Stock.

(c) Dividends.

(i) Rate. Holders of Series G Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, but only out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends under the UBCA, non-cumulative cash dividends on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series G Preferred Stock, and no more, payable quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year commencing June 15, 2013; provided, however, if any such day is not a Business Day during the Series G Fixed Rate Period (as defined below), then payment of any dividend otherwise payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) and, if during the Series G Floating Rate Period (as defined below), then payment of any dividend otherwise payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and dividends will accrue to, but excluding, the

 

25


date dividends are paid; however, if the postponement would cause the dividend payment date to fall in the next calendar month during the Series G Floating Rate Period, the dividend payment date will instead be brought forward to the immediately preceding business day (each such day on which dividends are payable, a “Series G Dividend Payment Date”). The period from and including any Series G Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Series G Dividend Payment Date is a “Series G Dividend Period”; provided, however, that the first Series G Dividend Period shall be the period from and including the date of original issuance of Series G Preferred Stock to but excluding the next Series G Dividend Payment Date; provided, further, that if additional shares of Series G Preferred Stock are issued subsequently, the first Series G Dividend Period with respect to such shares shall be (A) if the date of such subsequent issuance is a Series G Dividend Payment Date, the period from and including such Series G Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Series G Dividend Payment Date and (B) if the date of such subsequent issuance is not a Series G Dividend Payment Date, the period from and including the most recent Series G Dividend Payment Date preceding the date of such subsequent issuance to but excluding the next Series G Dividend Payment Date.

For each Series G Dividend Period commencing with the initial Series G Dividend Period up to and including the Series G Dividend Period ending on March 14, 2023 (the “Series G Fixed Rate Period”) the dividend rate will be a rate per annum equal to 6.30%. For all Series G Dividend Periods thereafter (the “Series G Floating Rate Period”), the dividend rate will be an annual floating rate equal to Three-Month LIBOR plus 4.24%.

The record date for payment of dividends on Series G Preferred Stock shall be the March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 immediately preceding the respective Series G Dividend Payment Date. The amount of dividends payable per share of Series G Preferred Stock on each Series G Dividend Payment Date for the Series G Fixed Rate Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in any period of less than one month. The amount of dividends payable per share of Series G Preferred Stock on each Series G Dividend Payment Date for the Series G Floating Rate Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of the actual number of days in such Series G Dividend Period. The amount of dividends payable per share of Series G Preferred Stock on each Series G Dividend Payment Date for each full dividend period will be calculated by multiplying the per annum dividend rate described above in effect for the related Series G Dividend Period by 1/4, and multiplying the rate obtained by $1,000. No interest will be payable in respect of any dividend payment on shares of Series G Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.

(ii) Non-Cumulative Dividends. Dividends on shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall be non-cumulative. To the extent that any dividends payable on the shares of Series G Preferred Stock on any Series G Dividend Payment Date are not declared and paid, in full or otherwise, on such Series G Dividend Payment Date, then such unpaid dividends shall not accrue or be payable and the Corporation shall have no obligation to pay dividends for such Series G Dividend Period, whether or not dividends on Series G Preferred Stock are declared for any future Series G Dividend Period.

 

26


(iii) Priority of Dividends. During any Series G Dividend Period (other than the first Series G Dividend Period), so long as any share of Series G Preferred Stock remains outstanding, unless dividends in an amount computed in accordance with Section 6(c)(i) for each share of Series G Preferred Stock as of the Series G Dividend Payment Date for the then-current Series G Dividend Period have been paid, or declared and funds set aside therefor, and the Corporation is not in default on its obligations to redeem any shares of Series G Preferred Stock that have been called for redemption, (A) no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment and no distribution shall be declared or made or set aside for payment on any Junior Stock, other than a dividend payable solely in Junior Stock, (B) no shares of Junior Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (other than as a result of a reclassification of Junior Stock for or into other Junior Stock, or the exchange or conversion of one share of Junior Stock for or into another share of Junior Stock, and other than through the use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other shares of Junior Stock), nor shall any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares by the Corporation, and (C) no shares of Parity Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation otherwise than pursuant to pro rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of Series G Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock, except by conversion into or in exchange for Junior Stock. On any Series G Dividend Payment Date for which dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of Series G Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Series G Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock for payment on such Series G Dividend Payment Date shall be declared on a proportionate basis. Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be declared and paid on any Junior Stock or Parity Stock from time to time out of any assets legally available therefor, and the shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend.

(d) Redemption.

The redemption price for shares of Series G Preferred Stock shall be $1,000 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, through but not including the Series G Redemption Date; provided, however, if any such day is not a Business Day, then any shares called for redemption will be

 

27


redeemed on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and any payment otherwise payable on the Series G Redemption Date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days following the occurrence of a Series G Regulatory Capital Treatment Event, the Corporation, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, all (but not less than all) of the shares of Series G Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, through but not including the date of such redemption, upon notice given as provided in Section 6(d)(ii) below.

(ii) Notice of Redemption.

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

The Corporation shall be entitled to receive, from time to time, from the Series G 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 three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released or repaid to the Corporation, and in the event of such repayment to the Corporation, the holders of record of the shares so called for redemption shall be deemed to be unsecured creditors of the Corporation for an amount equivalent to the amount deposited as stated above for the redemption of such shares and so repaid to the Corporation, but shall in no event be entitled to any interest.

Such number may from time to time be increased (but not in excess of the then total number of authorized and undesignated shares of Preferred Stock) or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Series I Preferred Stock then outstanding) by further resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and by the filing of Articles of Amendment pursuant to the provisions of the UBCA stating that such increase or reduction, as the case may be, has been so authorized. The Corporation shall have the authority to issue fractional shares of Series I Preferred Stock.

(c) Dividends.

(i) Rate. Holders of Series I Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, but only out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends under the UBCA, non-cumulative cash dividends on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series I Preferred Stock, and no more, payable (i) semi-annually in arrears on the 15th day of June and December of each year commencing December 15, 2013 and ending on June 15, 2023, and (ii) quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on September 15, 2023; provided, however, if any such day is not a Business Day during the Series I Fixed Rate Period (as defined below), then payment of any dividend otherwise payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) and, if during the Series I Floating Rate Period (as defined below), then payment of any dividend otherwise payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and dividends will accrue to, but excluding, the date dividends are paid; however, if the postponement would cause the dividend payment date to fall in the next calendar month during the Series I Floating Rate Period, the dividend payment date will instead be brought forward to the immediately preceding business day (each such day on which dividends are payable, a “Series I Dividend Payment Date”). The period from and including any Series I Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Series I Dividend Payment Date is a “Series I Dividend Period”; provided, however, that the first Series I Dividend Period shall be the period from and including the date of original issuance of Series I Preferred Stock to but excluding the next Series I Dividend Payment Date; provided, further, that if additional shares of Series I Preferred Stock are issued subsequently, the first Series I Dividend Period with respect to such shares shall be (A) if the date of such subsequent issuance is a Series I Dividend Payment Date, the period from and including such Series I Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Series I Dividend Payment Date and (B) if the date of such subsequent issuance is not a Series I Dividend Payment Date, the period from and including the most recent Series I Dividend Payment Date preceding the date of such subsequent issuance to but excluding the next Series I Dividend Payment Date.

 

34


For each Series I Dividend Period commencing with the initial Series I Dividend Period up to and including the Series I Dividend Period ending on June 14, 2023 (the “Series I Fixed Rate Period”) the dividend rate will be a rate per annum equal to 5.80%. For all Series I Dividend Periods thereafter (the “Series I Floating Rate Period”), the dividend rate will be an annual floating rate equal to Three-Month LIBOR plus 3.80%.

The record date for payment of dividends on Series I Preferred Stock shall be (i) during the Series I Fixed Rate Period, the June 1 and December 1 immediately preceding the respective Series I Dividend Payment Date, and (ii) during the Series I Floating Rate Period, the March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 immediately preceding the respective Series I Dividend Payment Date. The amount of dividends payable per share of Series I Preferred Stock on each Series I Dividend Payment Date for the Series I Fixed Rate Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in any period of less than one month. The amount of dividends payable per share of Series I Preferred Stock on each Series I Dividend Payment Date for the Series I Floating Rate Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of the actual number of days in such Series I Dividend Period. The amount of dividends payable per share of Series I Preferred Stock on each Series I Dividend Payment Date during the Series I Fixed Rate Period for each full dividend period during that period will be calculated by multiplying the per annum dividend rate described above in effect for the related Series I Dividend Period by 1/2, and multiplying the rate obtained by $1,000. The amount of dividends payable per share of Series I Preferred Stock on each Series I Dividend Payment Date during the Series I Floating Rate Period for each full dividend period during that period will be calculated by multiplying the per annum dividend rate described above in effect for the related Series I Dividend Period by 1/4, and multiplying the rate obtained by $1,000. No interest will be payable in respect of any dividend payment on shares of Series I Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.

(ii) Non-Cumulative Dividends. Dividends on shares of Series I Preferred Stock shall be non-cumulative. To the extent that any dividends payable on the shares of Series I Preferred Stock on any Series I Dividend Payment Date are not declared and paid, in full or otherwise, on such Series I Dividend Payment Date, then such unpaid dividends shall not accrue or be payable and the Corporation shall have no obligation to pay dividends for such Series I Dividend Period, whether or not dividends on Series I Preferred Stock are declared for any future Series I Dividend Period.

(iii) Priority of Dividends. During any Series I Dividend Period (other than the first Series I Dividend Period), so long as any share of Series I Preferred Stock remains outstanding, unless dividends in an amount computed in accordance with Section 8(c)(i) for each share of Series I Preferred Stock as of the Series I Dividend Payment Date for the then-current Series I Dividend Period have been paid, or declared and funds set aside therefor, and the Corporation is not in default on its obligations to redeem any shares of Series I Preferred Stock that have been called for redemption,

 

35


(A) no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment and no distribution shall be declared or made or set aside for payment on any Junior Stock, other than a dividend payable solely in Junior Stock, (B) no shares of Junior Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (other than as a result of a reclassification of Junior Stock for or into other Junior Stock, or the exchange or conversion of one share of Junior Stock for or into another share of Junior Stock, and other than through the use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other shares of Junior Stock), nor shall any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares by the Corporation, and (C) no shares of Parity Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation otherwise than pursuant to pro rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of Series I Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock, except by conversion into or in exchange for Junior Stock. On any Series I Dividend Payment Date for which dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of Series I Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Series I Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock for payment on such Series I Dividend Payment Date shall be declared on a proportionate basis. Subject to the foregoing, and not otherwise, such dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be declared and paid on any Junior Stock or Parity Stock from time to time out of any assets legally available therefor, and the shares of Series I Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend.

(d) Redemption.

(i) Optional Redemption. Series I Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to June 15, 2023. On such date and every day thereafter (hereinafter referred to as a “Series I Redemption Date”), the Corporation, at the option of its Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, may redeem in whole or in part the shares of Series I Preferred Stock at the time outstanding upon notice given as provided in Section 8(d)(ii) below. The redemption price for shares of Series I Preferred Stock shall be $1,000 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, through but not including the Series I Redemption Date; provided, however, if any such day is not a Business Day, then any shares called for redemption will be redeemed on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and any payment otherwise payable on the Series I Redemption Date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). Holders of Series I Preferred Stock shall not have any right to require the redemption or repurchase of any shares of Series I Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days following the occurrence of a Series I Regulatory Capital Treatment Event, the Corporation, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, all (but not less than all) of the shares of Series I Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, through but not including the date of such redemption, upon notice given as provided in Section 8(d)(ii) below.

 

36


(ii) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Series I Preferred Stock shall be mailed by first class mail to the holders of record of Series I Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the stock register of the Corporation. Such mailing shall be at least 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption (provided that, if depositary shares representing Series I Preferred Stock or Series I Preferred Stock are held in book-entry form through the DTC, the Corporation may give notice in any manner permitted by the DTC). Any notice mailed as provided in this Section 8(d)(ii) 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 Series I Preferred Stock designated for redemption shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other shares of Series I Preferred Stock. Each notice shall state (A) the redemption date, (B) the number of shares of Series I Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares held by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder, (C) the redemption price, (D) the place or places where the certificates evidencing shares of Series I Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and (E) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date.

(iii) Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of only part of the shares of Series I Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares of Series I Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata from the holders of record of Series I Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of Series I Preferred Stock held by such holders or by lot or in such other manner as the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions of this Section 8(d), the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Series I Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time.

(iv) Effectiveness of Redemption. If notice of redemption of any shares of Series I Preferred Stock has been duly given and if the funds necessary for the redemption have been set aside by the Corporation for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Series I Preferred Stock so called for redemption, separate and apart from its other assets, in trust, 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 Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Series I 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

 

37


the redemption date (A) all shares so called for redemption shall cease to be outstanding, (B) all declared but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares shall cease to accrue, and (C) 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 Series I Depositary Company at any time after the redemption date from the funds so deposited, without interest. The Corporation shall be entitled to receive, from time to time, from the Series I 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 three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released or repaid to the Corporation, and in the event of such repayment to the Corporation, the holders of record of the shares so called for redemption shall be deemed to be unsecured creditors of the Corporation for an amount equivalent to the amount deposited as stated above for the redemption of such shares and so repaid to the Corporation, but shall in no event be entitled to any interest.

Section 9. Series J Preferred Stock

(a) Designation of Series J Fixed/Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock. A series of Preferred Stock shall be hereby designated “Series J Fixed/Floating Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock” (hereinafter referred to as “Series J Preferred Stock”). Each share of Series J Preferred Stock shall be identical in all respects to every other share of Series J Preferred Stock. Series J Preferred Stock will rank equally with Parity Stock, if any, and will rank senior to Junior Stock in each case with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) Number of Shares. The number of authorized shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall be 195,152. Such number may from time to time be increased (but not in excess of the then total number of authorized and undesignated shares of Preferred Stock) or decreased (but not below the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock then outstanding) by further resolution duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation and by the filing of Articles of Amendment pursuant to the provisions of the UBCA stating that such increase or reduction, as the case may be, has been so authorized. The Corporation shall have the authority to issue fractional shares of Series J Preferred Stock.

(c) Dividends.

(i) Rate. Holders of Series J Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, if, as and when declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, but only out of assets legally available for the payment of dividends under the UBCA, non-cumulative cash

 

38


dividends on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share of Series J Preferred Stock, and no more, payable (i) semi-annually in arrears on the 15th day of March and September of each year commencing March 15, 2014 and ending on September 15, 2023, and (ii) quarterly in arrears on the 15th day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on December 15, 2023; provided, however, if any such day is not a Business Day during the Series J Fixed Rate Period (as defined below), then payment of any dividend otherwise payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay) and, if during the Series J Floating Rate Period (as defined below), then payment of any dividend otherwise payable on that date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and dividends will accrue to, but excluding, the date dividends are paid; however, if the postponement would cause the dividend payment date to fall in the next calendar month during the Series J Floating Rate Period, the dividend payment date will instead be brought forward to the immediately preceding business day (each such day on which dividends are payable, a “Series J Dividend Payment Date”). The period from and including any Series J Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Series J Dividend Payment Date is a “Series J Dividend Period”; provided, however, that the first Series J Dividend Period shall be the period from and including the date of original issuance of Series J Preferred Stock to but excluding the next Series J Dividend Payment Date; provided, further, that if additional shares of Series J Preferred Stock are issued subsequently, the first Series J Dividend Period with respect to such shares shall be (A) if the date of such subsequent issuance is a Series J Dividend Payment Date, the period from and including such Series J Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Series J Dividend Payment Date and (B) if the date of such subsequent issuance is not a Series J Dividend Payment Date, the period from and including the most recent Series J Dividend Payment Date preceding the date of such subsequent issuance to but excluding the next Series J Dividend Payment Date.

For each Series J Dividend Period commencing with the initial Series J Dividend Period up to and including the Series J Dividend Period ending on September 14, 2023 (the “Series J Fixed Rate Period”) the dividend rate will be a rate per annum equal to 7.20%. For all Series J Dividend Periods thereafter (the “Series J Floating Rate Period”), the dividend rate will be an annual floating rate equal to Three-Month LIBOR plus 4.44%.

The record date for payment of dividends on Series J Preferred Stock shall be (i) during the Series J Fixed Rate Period, the March 1 and September 1 immediately preceding the respective Series J Dividend Payment Date, and (ii) during the Series J Floating Rate Period, the March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 immediately preceding the respective Series J Dividend Payment Date. The amount of dividends payable per share of Series J Preferred Stock on each Series J Dividend Payment Date for the Series J Fixed Rate Period shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in any period of less than one month. The amount of dividends payable per share of Series J Preferred Stock on each Series J Dividend Payment Date for the Series J Floating Rate Period shall be calculated

 

39


on the basis of a 360-day year of the actual number of days in such Series J Dividend Period. The amount of dividends payable per share of Series J Preferred Stock on each Series J Dividend Payment Date during the Series J Fixed Rate Period for each full dividend period during that period will be calculated by multiplying the per annum dividend rate described above in effect for the related Series J Dividend Period by 1/2, and multiplying the rate obtained by $1,000. The amount of dividends payable per share of Series J Preferred Stock on each Series J Dividend Payment Date during the Series J Floating Rate Period for each full dividend period during that period will be calculated by multiplying the per annum dividend rate described above in effect for the related Series J Dividend Period by 1/4, and multiplying the rate obtained by $1,000. No interest will be payable in respect of any dividend payment on shares of Series J Preferred Stock that may be in arrears.

(ii) Non-Cumulative Dividends. Dividends on shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall be non-cumulative. To the extent that any dividends payable on the shares of Series J Preferred Stock on any Series J Dividend Payment Date are not declared and paid, in full or otherwise, on such Series J Dividend Payment Date, then such unpaid dividends shall not accrue or be payable and the Corporation shall have no obligation to pay dividends for such Series J Dividend Period, whether or not dividends on Series J Preferred Stock are declared for any future Series J Dividend Period.

(iii) Priority of Dividends. During any Series J Dividend Period (other than the first Series J Dividend Period), so long as any share of Series J Preferred Stock remains outstanding, unless dividends in an amount computed in accordance with Section 9(c)(i) for each share of Series J Preferred Stock as of the Series J Dividend Payment Date for the then-current Series J Dividend Period have been paid, or declared and funds set aside therefor, and the Corporation is not in default on its obligations to redeem any shares of Series J Preferred Stock that have been called for redemption, (A) no dividend shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment and no distribution shall be declared or made or set aside for payment on any Junior Stock, other than a dividend payable solely in Junior Stock, (B) no shares of Junior Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (other than as a result of a reclassification of Junior Stock for or into other Junior Stock, or the exchange or conversion of one share of Junior Stock for or into another share of Junior Stock, and other than through the use of the proceeds of a substantially contemporaneous sale of other shares of Junior Stock), nor shall any monies be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares by the Corporation, and (C) no shares of Parity Stock shall be repurchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for consideration by the Corporation otherwise than pursuant to pro rata offers to purchase all, or a pro rata portion, of Series J Preferred Stock and such Parity Stock, except by conversion into or in exchange for Junior Stock. On any Series J Dividend Payment Date for which dividends are not paid in full upon the shares of Series J Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Series J Preferred Stock and any Parity Stock for payment on such Series J Dividend Payment Date shall be declared on a proportionate basis. Subject to the foregoing, and not

 

40


otherwise, such dividends (payable in cash, stock or otherwise) as may be determined by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may be declared and paid on any Junior Stock or Parity Stock from time to time out of any assets legally available therefor, and the shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to participate in any such dividend.

(d) Redemption.

(i) Optional Redemption. Series J Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable by the Corporation prior to September 15, 2023. On such date and every day thereafter (hereinafter referred to as a “Series J Redemption Date”), the Corporation, at the option of its Board of Directors or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, may redeem in whole or in part the shares of Series J Preferred Stock at the time outstanding upon notice given as provided in Section 9(d)(ii) below. The redemption price for shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall be $1,000 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, through but not including the Series J Redemption Date; provided, however, if any such day is not a Business Day, then any shares called for redemption will be redeemed on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day and any payment otherwise payable on the Series J Redemption Date will be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (without any interest or other payment in respect of such delay). Holders of Series J Preferred Stock shall not have any right to require the redemption or repurchase of any shares of Series J Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days following the occurrence of a Series J Regulatory Capital Treatment Event, the Corporation, at its option, subject to the approval of the Appropriate Federal Banking Agency, may redeem, all (but not less than all) of the shares of Series J Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share plus any declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, through but not including the date of such redemption, upon notice given as provided in Section 9(d)(ii) below.

(ii) Notice of Redemption. Notice of every redemption of shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall be mailed by first class mail to the holders of record of Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective last addresses appearing on the stock register of the Corporation.

Each notice shall state (A) the redemption date, (B) the number of shares of Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if fewer than all the shares held

 

41


by such holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares to be redeemed from such holder, (C) the redemption price, (D) the place or places where the certificates evidencing shares of Series J Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price and (E) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date.

(iii) Partial Redemption. In case of any redemption of only part of the shares of Series J Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the shares of Series J Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be selected either pro rata from the holders of record of Series J Preferred Stock in proportion to the number of Series J Preferred Stock held by such holders or by lot or in such other manner as the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine to be fair and equitable. Subject to the provisions of this Section 9(d), the Board of Directors of the Corporation or any duly authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall have full power and authority to prescribe the terms and conditions upon which shares of Series J Preferred Stock shall be redeemed from time to time.

(iv) Effectiveness of Redemption.

Any funds so deposited and unclaimed at the end of three years from the redemption date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released or repaid to the Corporation, and in the event of such repayment to the Corporation, the holders of record of the shares so called for redemption shall be deemed to be unsecured creditors of the Corporation for an amount equivalent to the amount deposited as stated above for the redemption of such shares and so repaid to the Corporation, but shall in no event be entitled to any interest.

(ix) Special Voting Right.

(A) Voting Right. If and whenever dividends on Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock or any other class or series of Voting Parity Stock have not been declared and paid in an aggregate amount at least equal as to any such class or series, to the amount of dividends payable on such class and series at its respective stated dividend rate for a period of six quarterly dividend periods, whether or not for consecutive dividend periods (a “Nonpayment”), the number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall be

 

49


increased by two. Holders of all classes and series of any Voting Parity Stock as to which a Nonpayment exists (including, if applicable, Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock or Series J Preferred Stock) will be entitled to vote together as a single class for the election of the two additional members of the Corporation’s Board of Directors (the “Preferred Directors”), provided that the election of such directors must not cause the Corporation to violate the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market (or other exchange on which the Corporation’s securities may be listed) or the rules and regulations of any other regulatory or self-regulatory body. At no time will the Corporation’s Board of Directors include more than two Preferred Directors.

(B) Election. The election of the Preferred Directors will take place at any annual meeting of shareholders or any special meeting of the holders of Voting Parity Stock with respect to which a Nonpayment exists (including, if applicable, Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock or Series J Preferred Stock), called as provided herein. In the event of a Nonpayment, the Secretary of the Corporation, upon the written request of any holder of record of at least 20% of the outstanding shares of any Voting Parity Stock with respect to which a Nonpayment exists (including, if applicable, Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock or Series J Preferred Stock) addressed to the Secretary at the Corporation’s principal office, must (unless such request is received less than 90 days before the date fixed for the next annual or special meeting of the shareholders, in which event such election shall be held at such next annual or special meeting of shareholders), call a special meeting of the holders of all Voting Parity Stock with respect to which a Nonpayment exists for the election of the Preferred Directors to be elected by them as provided in Section 10(b)(ix)(C) below. So long as the voting rights granted pursuant to Section 10(b)(ix)(A) have not ceased, holders of any and all Voting Parity Stock with respect to which a Nonpayment exists (including, if applicable, Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock or Series J Preferred Stock), voting together as a single class, will continue to elect such directors at each subsequent annual meeting. The Preferred Directors shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter.

(C) Notice for Special Meeting. Notice for a special meeting will be given in a similar manner to that provided in the Corporation’s bylaws for a special meeting of the shareholders. If the Secretary of the Corporation does not call a special meeting within 20 days after receipt of any such request, then any holder of Series A Preferred Stock, any holder of Series C Preferred Stock, any holder of Series F Preferred Stock, any holder of Series G Preferred Stock, any holder of Series H Preferred Stock, any holder of Series I Preferred Stock or any holder of Series J Preferred Stock may (at our expense) call such meeting, upon notice as provided in this Section 10(b)(ix)(C), and for that purpose will have access to the stock register of the Corporation. The Preferred

 

50


Directors elected at any such special meeting will hold office until the next annual meeting of our shareholders unless they have been previously terminated or removed pursuant to Section 10(b)(ix)(D).

(D) Termination; Removal; Vacancy. If and when full dividends have been paid for at least four quarterly dividend periods following a Nonpayment on any class or series of Voting Parity Stock with respect to which a Nonpayment exists or existed, the voting right granted pursuant to Section 10(b)(ix)(A) will cease with respect to that class or series (subject to revesting in the event of each subsequent Nonpayment). If and when full dividends have been paid for at least four quarterly dividend periods on all classes and series of Voting Parity Stock as to which a Nonpayment exists or existed, the terms of office of the Preferred Directors will immediately terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors of the Corporation will be automatically decreased by two. Any Preferred Director may be removed at any time without cause by the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes and series of Voting Parity Stock with respect to which a Nonpayment then exists voting together as a single class. So long as the voting rights granted pursuant to Section 10(b)(ix)(A) remain in effect, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Director (other than prior to the initial election of the Preferred Directors) may be filled by the written consent of the Preferred Director remaining in office or, if none remains in office, by the vote or consent of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding shares of all classes and series of Voting Parity Stock with respect to which a Nonpayment then exists voting together as a single class, with the successor to serve until the next annual meeting of shareholders.

(c) Conversion; Exchange. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of Series F Preferred Stock, the holders of Series G Preferred Stock, the holders of Series H Preferred Stock, the holders of Series I Preferred Stock and the holders of Series J Preferred Stock shall not have any rights to convert such Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock or Series J Preferred Stock, respectively, into, or exchange such Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock or Series J Preferred Stock for, shares of any other class of capital stock of the Corporation.

(d) Other Issuances. Notwithstanding anything set forth in the Articles of Incorporation or the Articles of Amendment establishing the rights and preferences of Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock or Series J Preferred Stock to the contrary, the Board of Directors of the Corporation, or any authorized committee of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, without the vote or consent of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of Series F Preferred Stock, the holders of Series G Preferred Stock, the holders of Series H Preferred Stock, the holders of Series I Preferred Stock or the holders of Series J Preferred Stock, may authorize and issue additional shares of Junior Stock, Parity

 

51


Stock or, subject to the voting rights granted in Section 10(b), any class of securities ranking senior to Series A Preferred Stock, Series C Preferred Stock, Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock, Series H Preferred Stock, Series I Preferred Stock or Series J Preferred Stock as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation.

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

(f) Unissued or Reacquired Shares. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock, shares of Series C Preferred Stock, shares of Series F Preferred Stock, shares of Series G Preferred Stock, shares of Series H Preferred Stock, shares of Series I Preferred Stock and shares of Series J Preferred Stock not issued or which have been issued and converted, redeemed or otherwise purchased or acquired by the Corporation shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock without designation as to series.

(g) No Sinking Fund. Shares of Series A Preferred Stock, shares of Series C Preferred Stock, shares of Series F Preferred Stock, shares of Series G Preferred Stock, shares of Series H Preferred Stock, shares of Series I Preferred Stock and shares of Series J Preferred Stock are not subject to the operation of a sinking fund.

Zions Bancorporation Announces Successful Completion of $195.2 Million of

Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock Offering

SALT LAKE CITY, August 8, 2013 – Zions Bancorporation (“Zions” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: ZION) announced today that it successfully priced its offering of 195,152 shares ($195,152,000 aggregate liquidation preference) of Series J fixed/floating rate non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock in an underwritten public transaction. The dividend rate was determined through an online modified Dutch auction process administered by Zions Direct, Inc. (“Zions Direct”). The public offering price of each share is equal to the liquidation preference per share, or $1,000.00.

The dividend rate for the fixed rate period, which runs from the issuance date to, but not including, September 15, 2023, is 7.20%. The dividend rate for the floating rate period, which begins on September 15, 2023, will be equal to three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.44%. Net of commissions and fees, the proceeds to the Company are expected to be approximately $191.5 million.

Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co., Macquarie Capital (USA) Inc. and Zions Direct served as joint bookrunning managers for the offering.

Zions intends to use the net cash proceeds from this offering to pay in part the redemption price in respect of the redemption by Zions of $590,000,000 of its Series C 9.50% non-cumulative perpetual preferred stock announced on July 24, 2013.

Zions is one of the nation’s premier financial services companies, consisting of a collection of great banks in select Western U.S. markets. Zions operates its banking businesses under local management teams and community identities through approximately 475 offices in 10 Western and Southwestern states: Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Texas, Utah and Washington.

The shares will be issued pursuant to Zions’ Registration Statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-173299) previously filed by Zions with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). The Registration Statement is effective. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus dated April 4,
