Item 3.03. Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders.

On August 21, 2020, CNB Financial Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), filed a statement with respect to shares (the “Statement with Respect to Shares”) with the Secretary of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (the “Secretary of State of Pennsylvania”), which became effective as of August 25, 2020, establishing the designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights of a new series of preferred stock designated as the “7.125% Series A Fixed-Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock,” no par value per share, with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”). The Statement with Respect to Shares was filed in connection with an Underwriting Agreement, dated August 20, 2020 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and between the Company and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, as representative of the several underwriters listed in Schedule A thereto (collectively, the “Underwriters”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Underwriters 2,415,000 depositary shares (the “Depositary Shares”), including 315,000 Depositary Shares issued upon the exercise of the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional Depositary Shares, each representing a 1/40th ownership interest in a share of the Series A Preferred Stock. Each holder of a Depositary Share will be entitled to the proportional rights of a share of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Share.

The Series A Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to the payment of dividends and distributions upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, (1) senior to the Company’s common stock and each other class or series of preferred stock the Company may issue in the future the terms of which do not expressly provide that it ranks on a parity with or senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Company (collectively, “junior securities”), (2) on a parity with each class or series of preferred stock the Company may issue in the future the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series will rank on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution of the Company (collectively, “parity securities”), and (3) junior to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities and any class or series of preferred stock that expressly provides in the statement with respect to shares creating such preferred stock that such series ranks senior to the Series A Preferred Stock (subject to any requisite consents prior to issuance).

Under the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, with certain limited exceptions, if the Company’s board of directors has not authorized, and the Company has not declared and paid or set aside for payment, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for the most recently completed dividend period, it may not declare or pay dividends on, or redeem, purchase or acquire, its common stock or other junior securities during the next succeeding dividend period.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Statement with Respect to Shares, which is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On August 21, 2020, the Company filed the Statement with Respect to Shares with the Secretary of State of Pennsylvania, which became effective as of August 25, 2020, amending the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation by establishing and designating the newly authorized Series A Preferred Stock of the Company consisting of 60,375 authorized shares.

Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will be payable when, as and if authorized and declared by the Company’s board of directors or a duly authorized committee thereof out of legally available funds. From the issue date, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock will accrue on a non-cumulative basis at a rate of 7.125% per annum on the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share, payable quarterly, in arrears, on the 1st day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on December 1, 2020.

In the event that the Company voluntarily or involuntarily liquidates, dissolves or winds up, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding will be entitled to receive liquidating distributions in the amount of $1,000 per share of the Series A Preferred Stock (equivalent to $25 per Depositary Share), plus an amount equal to any authorized and declared but unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date of such liquidation without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, out of assets legally available for distribution to the Company’s

stockholders, before any distribution of assets is made to the holders of the Company’s common stock or any other junior securities. After payment of the full amount of such liquidating distributions, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Company and will have no right or claim to any of the Company’s remaining assets. In the event that the Company’s assets available for distribution to stockholders upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company’s affairs, whether voluntary or involuntary, are insufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on any parity securities, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of such other parity securities will share ratably in any distribution of the Company’s assets in proportion to the full respective liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

The Series A Preferred Stock does not have a maturity date, and the Company is not required to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock. Accordingly, the Series A Preferred Stock and related Depositary Shares will remain outstanding indefinitely, unless and until the Company decides to redeem it pursuant to the terms of the Statement with Respect to Shares. The Company may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at its option, (i) in whole or in part, from time to time, on any dividend payment date on or after September 1, 2025 or (ii) in whole but not in part, within 90 days following a Regulatory Capital Treatment Event (as defined in the Statement with Respect to Shares), in each case, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25 per Depositary Share), plus any authorized, declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends. If the Company redeems the Series A Preferred Stock, the Depositary (as defined below) will redeem a proportional number of Depositary Shares. Neither the holders of Series A Preferred Stock nor holders of Depositary Shares will have the right to require the redemption or repurchase of the Series A Preferred Stock or the Depositary Shares. Any redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock is subject to the Company’s receipt of any required prior approval by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) or other successor regulatory authority and to the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in the capital guidelines or regulations of the Federal Reserve applicable to redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will have no voting rights, except as may otherwise be required by applicable Pennsylvania law and with respect to certain fundamental changes in the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock and certain other matters. In addition, if dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are not paid in full for at least six quarterly dividend periods or their equivalent, whether or not consecutive, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, acting as a single class with any other parity securities having similar voting rights that are then exercisable, will have the right to elect two directors to the Company’s board of directors. The terms of office of these directors will end when the Company has paid or set aside for payment full dividends for at least one year’s worth of dividend periods on the Series A Preferred Stock and any non-cumulative parity securities and all dividends on any cumulative parity securities have been paid in full.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Statement with Respect to Shares, which is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On August 25, 2020, the Company closed the public offering of 2,415,000 Depositary Shares, including 315,000 Depositary Shares issued upon the exercise of the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional Depositary Shares, pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. The offer and sale of the Depositary Shares and the Series A Preferred Stock have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236018) (the “Registration Statement”). The following documents are being filed with this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into the Registration Statement: (i) the Underwriting Agreement, (ii) the Statement with Respect to Shares, (iii) the form of certificate representing the Series A Preferred Stock, (iv) the Deposit Agreement, dated August 25, 2020, among the Company, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (the “Depositary”), and the holders from time to time of the depositary receipts described therein, (v) the form of depositary receipt representing the Depositary Shares, and (vi) the validity opinion letter with respect to the Depositary Shares and the Series A Preferred Stock.

JANNEY MONTGOMERY SCOTT LLC

1717 Arch Street, Floor 22

Philadelphia, PA 19103

As representative of the Underwriters listed in Schedule A hereto

Ladies and Gentlemen:

CNB Financial Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), confirms its agreement (the “Agreement”) with Janney Montgomery Scott LLC and each of the other Underwriters named in Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Underwriters,” which term shall also include any underwriter substituted as hereinafter provided in Section 10 hereof), for whom Janney Montgomery Scott LLC is acting as representative (in such capacity, the “Representative”), with respect to the issue and sale by the Company and the purchase by the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, of an aggregate of 2,100,000 depositary shares (the “Firm Shares”), each representing 1/40th ownership interest in a share of the Company’s 7.125% Series A Fixed-Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), with a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share (equivalent to $25.00 per depositary share). The Company also proposes to issue and sell to the several Underwriters not more than an additional 315,000 depositary shares (the “Option Shares”) if and to the extent that you, as Representative, shall have determined to exercise, on behalf of the Underwriters, the right to purchase such depositary shares granted to the Underwriters in Section 2 hereof. The Preferred Shares will, when issued, be deposited by the Company against delivery of depositary receipts (the “Depositary Receipts”) to be issued by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as depositary (the “Depositary”), under a Deposit Agreement (the “Deposit Agreement”), to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2(c)), among the Company, the Depositary and the holders from time to time of the Depositary Receipts issued thereunder. Each Depositary Receipt will evidence one or more Depositary Shares (as defined below). The Preferred Shares shall have the rights, powers and preferences set forth in the Statement with Respect to Shares of 7.125% Series A Fixed-Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Statement of Designation”), which shall have been duly filed with the Department of State of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania on or prior to the Closing Date, to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation.

The Firm Shares and the Option Shares are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Depositary Shares,” and the Depositary Shares, together with the Preferred Shares, are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Securities.”

The Company has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236018), including a base prospectus (the “Base Prospectus”) covering the registration of various securities, including the Securities, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “1933 Act”). Such registration statement was declared effective under the 1933 Act by the Commission, and the Company has filed such post-effective amendments thereto as may be required prior to the execution of this Agreement and each such post-effective amendment is effective under the 1933 Act. Such registration statement, at any given time, including any amendments thereto existing at such time, the exhibits and any schedules thereto on file with the Commission at such time, the information incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act at such time and the information otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or included therein at such time pursuant to Rule 430B under the 1933 Act (“Rule 430B”), is referred to herein as the “Registration Statement;” provided, that the “Registration Statement” without reference to a time means such registration statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereto as of the time of the first contract of sale for the Securities, which time shall be considered the “new effective date” of the Registration Statement with respect to the Securities within the meaning of Rule 430B(f)(2), including the exhibits and schedules thereto as of such time, the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein at such time pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act and the documents otherwise deemed to be a part thereof as of such time pursuant to Rule 430B. In the event that the Company shall file a registration statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the 1933 Act (a “Rule 462(b) Registration Statement”) in connection with the offering of the Securities, then, from and after the date of such filing, all references herein to the “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to mean and include such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, mutatis mutandis, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires. The Company will prepare and file a prospectus supplement relating to the Securities with the Commission in accordance with the provisions of Rule 430B and paragraph (b) of Rule 424 under the 1933 Act (“Rule 424(b)”). Any information included in such prospectus supplement that was omitted from the Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto that is deemed to be part thereof and included therein pursuant to Rule 430B is referred to herein as “Rule 430B Information.” The final prospectus and prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus used in connection with the offering of the Securities, including the documents incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, in the form first furnished to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities, are referred to herein collectively as the “Prospectus.” Each prospectus and prospectus supplement, including information and documents incorporated by reference therein or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, that omitted the Rule 430B Information that was used after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement in connection with the offering of the Securities, together with the Base Prospectus, is herein called a “preliminary prospectus.” For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (or any successor system) (“EDGAR”).

2

All references in this Agreement to financial statements and schedules and other information which is “contained,” “included” or “stated” (or other references of like import) in the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include all such financial statements and schedules and other information which are incorporated by reference in, or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act to be part of or included in, the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, prior to the execution of this Agreement; and all references in this Agreement to amendments or supplements to the Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus shall be deemed to include the filing of any document under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “1934 Act”), which is incorporated by reference in or otherwise deemed by the 1933 Act to be a part of or included in the Registration Statement, such preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, as the case may be, after the execution of this Agreement.

SECTION 1. Representations and Warranties.

(a) Representations and Warranties by the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Underwriter, as of the date hereof, at the Applicable Time (as defined herein) and at the Closing Date, and agrees with each Underwriter, as follows:

(i) Not an “Ineligible Issuer”. (A) At the time of filing the Registration Statement, any Rule 462(b) Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, (B) at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the 1933 Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act or form of prospectus), (C) at the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Company or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the 1933 Act) of the Securities as of the date hereof, and (D) as of the Applicable Time, the Company was not nor is an “ineligible issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the 1933 Act (“Rule 405”));

(ii) Registration Statement, Prospectus and Disclosure Package at Time of Sale. The Company has satisfied the registrant eligibility requirements for the use of Form S-3 under the 1933 Act set forth in Instruction No. I.A. to such form. The Registration Statement was filed by the Company with the Commission not earlier than three years prior to the date hereof. The Company has filed with the Commission the Registration Statement on Form S-3, including a Base Prospectus for registration under the 1933 Act of the offering and sale of the Securities, and the Company has filed with the Commission one or more amendments to such Registration Statement, each in the form previously delivered to the Underwriters. Such Registration Statement, as so amended, has been declared effective by the Commission and the Securities have been registered under the Registration Statement in compliance with the requirements for the use of Form S-3. The Company has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule

3

401(g) of the 1933 Act objecting to the Company’s use of Form S-3. Although the Base Prospectus may not include all the information with respect to the Securities and the offering thereof required by the 1933 Act to be included in the Prospectus, the Base Prospectus includes all such information required by the 1933 Act to be included therein as of the Effective Date. No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or any part thereof has been issued by the Commission under the 1933 Act and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, is threatened or contemplated by the Commission or any state or other jurisdiction or regulatory body, and no notice of objection of the Commission to the use of such Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the 1933 Act has been received by the Company. No order preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus (as defined below) or the Prospectus has been issued and no proceeding for that purpose has been instituted or is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, is threatened or contemplated by the Commission or any state or other jurisdiction or regulatory body. The Company has fully complied with any request on the part of the Commission or any state or other jurisdiction’s regulatory body for additional information with respect to the Registration Statement or otherwise.

At the respective times the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto became effective, at each deemed effective date with respect to the Underwriters and the Securities pursuant to Rule 430B(f)(2) and at the Closing Date, the Registration Statement and any amendments thereto complied, complies and will comply, as the case may be, in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act, and neither the Registration Statement nor any amendment thereto contained, contains or will contain, as the case may be, an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit, as the case may be, to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Neither (a) the General Disclosure Package (as defined below), at the Applicable Time, nor (b) the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, as of its issue date and at the Closing Date, included, includes or will include, as the case may be, an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or will omit, as the case may be, to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus complied, at the time each was filed with the Commission, in all material respects with the 1933 Act, and each preliminary prospectus and the Prospectus delivered to the Underwriters for use in connection with the offering of the Securities was identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

As of the Applicable Time (as defined below), each Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below), each Issuer-Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below) and the Statutory Prospectus (as defined below), all considered together (collectively, the “General Disclosure Package”), did not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

4

The representations and warranties in this subsection shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package or any amendment or supplement thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative expressly for use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto. For purposes of this Agreement, the only information so furnished shall be the information in the first and sixth sentences under the subheading “Stabilization,” under the heading “Underwriting,” in each case, contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or the General Disclosure Package (collectively, the “Underwriter Information”).

As used in this subsection and elsewhere in this Agreement:

“Applicable Time” means 8:45 a.m. (New York City time) on August 20, 2020 or such other time as agreed by the Company and the Representative.

“Statutory Prospectus,” at any given time, means the preliminary prospectus relating to the Securities immediately prior to that time. For purposes of this definition, information contained in a form of prospectus that is deemed retroactively to be a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B shall be considered to be included in the Statutory Prospectus only at the actual time that such form of prospectus is filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b).

“Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus” means any “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in (h)(i) of Rule 433 under the 1933 Act (“Rule 433”), relating to the Securities that (i) is required to be filed with the Commission by the Company, or is filed with the Commission by the Company, including any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus set forth on Schedule B hereto, (ii) is a “road show that is a written communication” within the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i), whether or not required to be filed with the Commission, or (iii) is exempt from filing with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) because it contains a description of the Securities or of the offering that does not reflect the final terms, in each case in the form filed or required to be filed with the Commission or, if not required to be filed, in the form retained in the Company’s records pursuant to Rule 433(g).

Each Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus, at its issue date and at all subsequent times through the completion of the offer and sale of the Securities or until any earlier date that the Company notified or notifies the Representative, did not, does not and will not include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement, the Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus, including any document incorporated by reference therein and any preliminary or other prospectus deemed to be a part thereof that has not been superseded or modified.

(iii) Incorporated Documents. The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the preliminary prospectus, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, at the time the Registration Statement

5

became effective or the time such documents were filed with the Commission, as the case may be, did not, and at the Applicable Time did not and at the Closing Date will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Prospectus, when filed with the Commission, conformed or will conform, as the case may be, in all material respects to the applicable requirements of the 1934 Act.

(iv) Independent Accountants. Crowe LLP (the “Accountant”), who certified the financial statements and supporting schedules of the Company included in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, (a) is an independent public accountant as required by the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”) and (b) is a registered public accounting firm, as defined by the PCAOB, which has not had its registration superseded or revoked and which has not requested that such registration be withdrawn. To the Company’s knowledge, with due inquiry, the Accountant is not in violation of the auditor independence requirements of the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules and regulations of the Commission (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”) with respect to the Company.

(v) Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Company included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, together with the related schedules and notes, present fairly, in all material respects, the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, at the dates indicated and their respective statements of operations, shareholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the periods specified. Such financial statements have been prepared in compliance with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, as applicable, and in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis (except for such adjustments to accounting standards and practices as are noted therein) throughout the periods involved. Any selected financial data and the summary financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus present fairly, in all material respects, the information shown therein and have been compiled on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus. The supporting schedules, if any, included therein present fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be stated therein. To the extent applicable, all disclosures contained in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the rules and regulations of the Commission) comply in all material respects with Regulation G of the 1934 Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K under the 1933 Act, as applicable. Except as included therein, no historical or pro forma financial statements or supporting schedules are required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General

6

Disclosure Package or the Prospectus. The interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus fairly presents the required information in all material respects and has been prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto.

(vi) Certain Data and Forward-Looking Statements. All statistical or market-related data included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus are based on or derived from sources that the Company reasonably believes to be reliable and accurate, and the Company has obtained the consent to the use of such data from such sources to the extent required. Each financial or operational projection or “forward-looking statement” (within the meaning of Section 27A of the 1933 Act or Section 21E of the 1934 Act) contained or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus (A) was so included by the Company in good faith and with reasonable basis after due consideration by the Company of the underlying assumptions, estimates and other applicable facts and circumstances, and (B) is accompanied by meaningful cautionary statements identifying those factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in such forward-looking statement.

Since the date of the Company’s latest audited financial statements incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package, and the Prospectus, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

The principal executive officer (or the equivalents) and principal financial officer (or the equivalent) of the Company have made all certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, and the statements made in each such certification are accurate; the Company, its subsidiaries and to the Company’s knowledge, its directors and officers, are each in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

To the Company’s knowledge, there are no affiliations with any FINRA member firm among the Company’s officers, directors, or principal shareholders, except as set forth in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, or as otherwise disclosed in writing to the Underwriters.

(b) Officer’s Certificates. Any certificate signed by any officer of the Company delivered to the Representative or to counsel for the Underwriters shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company to each Underwriter as to the matters covered thereby on the date of such certificate.

SECTION 2. Sale and Delivery to Underwriters; Closing.

(a) Firm Shares. On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to sell to each of the Underwriters and the Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at the price per share set forth in Schedule A (the “Purchase Price”), the respective number of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule A opposite its name, plus any additional number of Firm Shares which such Underwriter may become obligated to purchase pursuant to the provisions of Section 10 hereof, subject, in each case, to such adjustments among the Underwriters as the Representative in its sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional securities.

(b) Option Shares. In addition, on the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company hereby grants an option to the Underwriters, severally and not jointly, to purchase up to 315,000 Option Shares at the Purchase Price. The option hereby granted may be exercised in whole or in part from time to time through the 30th day after the date of this Agreement, upon notice by the Representative to the Company setting forth the number of Option Shares as to which the several Underwriters are then exercising the option and the time and date of payment and delivery for such Option Shares. Any such time and date of delivery (each, a “Date of Delivery”) shall be determined by the Representative in the notice of exercise, but shall not be later than seven full business days after the exercise of said option, nor in any event prior to the later of one business day after delivery of written notice or the Closing Date, as hereinafter defined. If the option is exercised as to all or any portion of the Option Shares, each of the Underwriters, acting severally and not jointly, will purchase that proportion of the total number of Option Shares then being purchased which the number of Firm Shares set forth in Schedule A opposite the name of such Underwriter bears to the total number of Firm Shares, subject, in each case, to such adjustments as the Representative in its sole discretion shall make to eliminate any sales or purchases of fractional shares.

(c) Payment and Delivery. Payment for the Firm Shares shall be made to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of such Firm Shares for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on August 25, 2020, or at such other time on the same or such other date as the Company and the Representatives may agree upon in writing. The time and date of such payment are hereinafter referred to as the “Closing Date.”

19

Payment for any Option Shares shall be made to the Company in Federal or other funds immediately available in New York City against delivery of such Option Shares for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date specified in the corresponding notice described in Section 2(b) or at such other time on the same or on such other date, in any event not later than ten business days after the date of such notice, as may be designated in writing by you.

The Firm Shares and Option Shares shall be registered in such names and in such denominations as you shall request in writing not later than one full business day prior to the Closing Date or the applicable Date of Delivery, as the case may be. The Firm Shares and Option Shares shall be delivered to you on the Closing Date or a Date of Delivery, as the case may be, for the respective accounts of the several Underwriters, with any transfer taxes payable in connection with the transfer of the Securities to the Underwriters duly paid, against payment of the Purchase Price therefor.

SECTION 3. Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants with each Underwriter as follows:

(a) Compliance with Securities Regulations and Commission Requests. The Company will notify the Representative promptly, and confirm the notice in writing, (i) when any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement relating to the Securities shall become effective, or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any amended Prospectus shall have been filed, (ii) of the receipt of any comments with respect to the Registration Statement from the Commission, (iii) of any request by the Commission for any amendment to the Registration Statement or the filing of a new registration statement or any amendment or supplement to the Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or otherwise deemed to be a part thereof or for additional information, (iv) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or such new registration statement or of any order of any Governmental Entity preventing or suspending the use of any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Securities for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or of the initiation or threatening of any proceedings for any of such purposes or of any examination pursuant to Section 8(e) of the 1933 Act concerning the Registration Statement, and (v) if the Company becomes the subject of a proceeding under Section 8A of the 1933 Act. With respect to the Securities, subject to Section 3(e), the Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 430B, will prepare the Prospectus in the form approved by the Representative, will affect the filings required under Rule 424(b) in the manner and within the time period specified therein (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8)) and will take such steps as it deems necessary to ascertain promptly whether the Prospectus transmitted for filing under Rule 424(b) was received for filing by the Commission and, in the event that it was not, it will promptly file such Prospectus. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other order and, if any stop order or other order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof as soon as possible. The Company shall pay the required filing fees of the Commission relating to the Securities within the time required by Rule 456(b)(1)(i) under the 1933 Act without regard to the proviso therein and otherwise in accordance with Rules 456(b) and 457(r) under the 1933 Act.

20

(b) Delivery of Registration Statements. The Company has furnished or will deliver to the Representative and counsel for the Underwriters, without charge, copies of the signed Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (including exhibits filed therewith or incorporated by reference therein and documents incorporated by reference therein) and copies of all signed consents and certificates of experts, and will also deliver to the Representative, without charge, a conformed copy of the Registration Statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto (without exhibits) for each of the Underwriters. The copies of the Registration Statement and each amendment thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(c) Delivery of Prospectuses. The Company has delivered to each Underwriter, without charge, as many copies of each preliminary prospectus and the Statutory Prospectus as such Underwriter reasonably requested, and the Company hereby consents to the use of such copies for purposes permitted by the 1933 Act. The Company will furnish to each Underwriter, without charge, during the period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, such number of copies of the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented) as such Underwriter may reasonably request. The preliminary prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to the Underwriters will be identical to the electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(d) Continued Compliance with Securities Laws. The Company will comply with the 1933 Act, and the 1934 Act, as applicable, so as to permit the completion of the distribution of the Securities as contemplated in this Agreement and in the Prospectus. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will immediately notify the Representative, and confirm such notice in writing, of (x) any filing made by the Company of information relating to the offering of the Securities with any securities exchange or any other regulatory body in the United States, and (y) any event or condition that results or is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Change, which (i) makes any statement in the Prospectus false or misleading, or (ii) which is not disclosed in the Prospectus. If, at any time when a prospectus is required by the 1933 Act to be delivered in connection with sales of the Securities, any event or development occurs as a result of which it is necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Company or its counsel to amend or supplement the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered to purchasers, or if for any other reason it shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Company or its counsel, during such period to amend the Registration Statement or to file a new registration statement or to amend or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the 1933 Act, the Company promptly will (1) notify the Representative of any such event or development, (2) prepare and file with the Commission, subject to Section 3(e) hereof, such amendment, supplement or new registration statement which will correct such untrue statement or omission, effect such compliance or satisfy such filing requirement, (3) use its best efforts to have any such amendment to the Registration

21

Statement or new registration statement declared effective as soon as possible (if not an automatic shelf registration statement), and (4) supply any amended or supplemented General Disclosure Package or Prospectus to the Underwriters in such quantities as they may reasonably request. If at any time following the issuance of an Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which the General Disclosure Package or such Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus, individually or together with other information that is part of the General Disclosure Package, as the case may be, conflicted or would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement (or any other registration statement relating to the Securities), any preliminary prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus or the Prospectus or included, includes or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted, omits or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Underwriters and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, the General Disclosure Package or such Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission. The Underwriters’ delivery of any such amendment or supplement shall not constitute a waiver of any of the conditions of Section 5 hereof.

(e) Amendment to Prospectus or Registration Statement. Prior to the Closing Date, the Company will advise the Representative promptly of any notice of its intention to file or prepare any amendment to the Registration Statement or a new registration statement relating to the Securities or any amendment or supplement to any preliminary prospectus or the Prospectus and will furnish the Representative with copies thereof a reasonable amount of time prior to such proposed filing or use, as the case may be, and will not file or use any such document with respect to the Securities without the consent of the Representative, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Neither the consent of the Representative, nor the Representative’s delivery of any such amendment or supplement, shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 5 hereof. For purposes of clarity, nothing in this Section 3(e) shall restrict the Company from making any filings required in order to comply with its reporting obligations under the 1934 Act.

(f) DTC. The Company will cooperate with the Underwriters and use its commercially reasonable efforts to permit the Securities to be eligible for clearance, settlement and trading through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

(g) Blue Sky Compliance. The Company will qualify the Securities for offer and sale under the state securities, or blue sky, laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative shall reasonably request and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the offering and resale of the Securities; provided that the Company shall not be required to (i) qualify as a foreign corporation or other entity or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified, (ii) file any general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction, or (iii) subject itself to taxation in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

(h) Rule 158. The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the 1934 Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the 1933 Act.

22

(i) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received by it from the sale of the Securities in the manner specified in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

(j) Restriction on Sale of Securities. Until the Closing Date, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of the Underwriters, directly or indirectly, issue, sell, offer or contract to sell, grant any option for the sale of, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, any debt securities or nonconvertible preferred stock, including any guarantee of such securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for or representing the right to receive such securities, other than the Securities (except for the issuance of the Securities issued pursuant to this Agreement).

(k) Issuer-Free Writing Prospectus. The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representative and each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company and the Representative, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Securities that would constitute an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, or that would otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any such free writing prospectus, if any, consented to by the Company and the Representative is referred to herein as an “Issuer-Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each Issuer-Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable to any Issuer-Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending and record keeping.

Subject to the consent of the Representative required in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company will prepare a final term sheet relating solely to the final pricing terms of the Securities (the “Final Term Sheet”) and will file the Final Term Sheet in the form attached as Schedule C within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) on the date such final terms have been established for such Securities. The Final Term Sheet is an Issuer-Permitted Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company consents to the use by any Underwriter of a free writing prospectus that contains only (a) (i) information describing the preliminary terms of the Securities generally or the Securities specifically or their offering, or (ii) information that describes the final terms of the Securities or their offering and that is or is to be included in the Final Term Sheet, or (b) other customary information that is not “issuer information,” as defined in Rule 433.

(l) Reporting Requirements. The Company, during the period when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied, with the prior consent of the Representative, by Rule 172 under the 1933 Act), will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the 1934 Act within the time periods required by the 1934 Act.

23

(m) Taxes. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Underwriters against any documentary, stamp, issue or similar tax, including any interest and penalties, on the creation, issue and sale of the Securities and on the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All payments to be made by the Company hereunder shall be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties or governmental charges whatsoever unless the Company is compelled by law to deduct or withhold such taxes, duties or charges. In that event, the Company shall pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order that the net amounts received after such withholding or deduction shall equal the amounts that would have been received if no withholding or deduction had been made.

(n) Listing. The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain authorization for listing of the Depositary Shares on the NASDAQ Global Select Market no later than the 30th day succeeding the Closing Date.

(o) Restriction on Sale of Shares. During a period of thirty days from the date of the Prospectus, the Company agrees to not, without the prior written consent of the Representative, (i) directly or indirectly, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any Preferred Shares or Depositary Shares, any securities that are substantially similar to the Preferred Shares or the Depositary Shares, or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Preferred Shares, Depositary Shares or substantially similar securities, or file any registration statement under the 1933 Act with respect to any of the foregoing, or (ii) enter into any swap or any other agreement or any transaction that transfers, in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, the economic consequence of ownership of Preferred Shares or Depositary Shares, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Preferred Shares or Depositary Shares or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.

SECTION 4. Payment of Expenses.

(a) Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and the Deposit Agreement, including (i) the preparation, printing and filing of the Registration Statement (including financial statements and exhibits) as originally filed and of each amendment thereto and the cost of obtaining all securities and bank regulatory approvals, (ii) the preparation, printing and delivery to the Underwriters of copies of each preliminary prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus, any Issuer-Permitted Free Writing Prospectus and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto, (iii) the preparation, issuance and delivery of the certificates for the Securities, (iv) the fees and disbursements of the Company’s counsel, accountants and other advisors, (v) the qualification of the Securities under securities laws in accordance with the provisions of Section 3(g) hereof, (vi) the fees and expenses of the depositary, (vii) the costs and expenses of the Company and the Representative relating to investor presentations on any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the Securities, including, without limitation, expenses associated with the production of road show slides and graphics, fees and expenses of any consultants engaged by the Company or the Representative in connection with the road show presentations, travel and lodging expenses of the Representative and officers of the Company and any such consultants,

24

(b) Termination of Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated by the Representative in accordance with the provisions of Section 5 or Section 9(a)(i) hereof, the Company shall reimburse the Underwriters for all of their out-of-pocket expenses.

Such counsel may also state that, insofar as such opinion involves factual matters, they have relied, to the extent they deem proper, upon certificates of officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and certificates of public officials.

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, if any, or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not

28

misleading or arising out of any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus, any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package, the Prospectus or any road show that does not constitute an Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever, as incurred, to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever, in each case based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission; provided that (subject to Section 6(d) below) any such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii) against any and all expense whatsoever, as incurred (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by the Representative), reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, in each case based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, if any, or any preliminary prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus, any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

(b) Indemnification of Company, Directors and Officers. Each Underwriter severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, each of its officers who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense described in the indemnity contained in subsection (a) of this Section, as incurred, but only with respect to untrue statements or omissions, or alleged untrue statements or omissions, made in the Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto), including the Rule 430B Information, if any, or in any preliminary prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus, any Issuer-Represented Free Writing Prospectus, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in conformity with the Underwriter Information.

(c) Actions against Parties; Notification. Each indemnified party shall give notice as promptly as reasonably practicable to each indemnifying party of any action commenced against it in respect of which indemnity may be sought hereunder, but failure to so notify an

29

indemnifying party shall not relieve such indemnifying party from any liability hereunder to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a result thereof and in any event shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have otherwise than on account of this indemnity agreement. In the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(a) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Representative, and, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 6(b) above, counsel to the indemnified parties shall be selected by the Company. An indemnifying party may participate at its own expense in the defense of any such action; provided, however, that counsel to the indemnifying party shall not (except with the consent of the indemnified party) also be counsel to the indemnified party. In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel) separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever in respect of which indemnification or contribution could be sought under this Section 6 or Section 7 hereof (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties thereto), unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such litigation, investigation, proceeding 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.

SECTION 7. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 hereof is for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred, (i) 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 hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses, 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 hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company and the total commission received by the Underwriters bears to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities.

The relative fault of the Company, on the one hand, and the Underwriters, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact

30

relates to information supplied by the Company or by the Underwriters 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 Section 7 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 Section 7. The aggregate amount of losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses incurred by an indemnified party and referred to above in this Section 7 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or any investigation or proceeding by any Governmental Entity, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 7 are several in proportion to the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be purchased set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule A hereto and not joint.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which such Securities were sold by it to its investors 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 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

For purposes of this Section 7, each person, if any, who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act and each Underwriter’s directors, officers, Affiliates and selling agents shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each director of the Company, each officer of the Company who signed the Registration Statement, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company.

31

SECTION 8. Representations, Warranties and Agreements to Survive. All representations, warranties and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries submitted pursuant hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (a) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, its Affiliates or selling agents or any person controlling such Underwriter or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company, and (b) delivery of and payment for the Securities.

SECTION 9. Termination of Agreement.

(a) Termination; General. The Representative may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company, at any time at or prior to the Closing Date, (i) if there has been, since the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the financial condition, earnings, or business affairs of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as one enterprise, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business, (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political, financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Securities or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Securities, (iii) if trading in any securities of the Company has been suspended or materially limited by the Commission or the Nasdaq Global Market, or if trading generally on the Nasdaq Global Market has been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or by such system or by order of the Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. or any other Governmental Entity, (iv) a material disruption has occurred in commercial banking or securities or clearance, settlement or trading services in the United States, or (v) if a banking moratorium has been declared by federal, New York or Pennsylvania authorities.

(b) Liabilities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section 4 hereof, and provided further that Sections 1, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 18 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

32

SECTION 10. Default by One or More of the Underwriters. If one or more of the Underwriters shall fail at the Closing Date, to purchase the Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase under this Agreement (the “Defaulted Securities”), the Representative shall have the right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all, but not less than all, of the Defaulted Securities in such amounts as may be agreed upon and upon the terms herein set forth; if, however, the Representative shall not have completed such arrangements within such 24-hour period, then:

(a) if the number of Defaulted Securities does not exceed 10% of the total number of the Securities to be purchased at the Closing Date, each of the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated, severally and not jointly, to purchase the full amount thereof in the proportions that their respective underwriting obligations hereunder bear to the underwriting obligations of all non-defaulting Underwriters, or

(b) if the number of Defaulted Securities exceeds 10% of the total number of the Securities to be purchased at the Closing Date, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter.

No action taken pursuant to this Section shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of its default.

In the event of any such default which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the Representative or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required changes in the Registration Statement, the General Disclosure Package or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used herein, the term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10.

SECTION 11. Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication.

(4) DIVIDENDS.

(a) From and after the Effective Date, Holders shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized and declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, out of legally available funds, on a non-cumulative basis, cash dividends in the amount determined as set forth in Section 4(b), and no more.

(b) Subject to Section 4(a), Holders shall be entitled to receive non-cumulative cash dividends at a rate equal to (i) 7.125% (the “Dividend Rate”) per annum on the Liquidation Amount for each share of the Series A Preferred Stock from the Original Issue Date for that share computed in accordance with Section 4(d) and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each of March, June, September and December, commencing on December 1, 2020 (each such date, subject to adjustment as provided below, a “Dividend Payment Date”). Each dividend will be payable to Holders of record as they appear in the records of the Corporation at the close of business on the 15th day of the month preceding the month in which the relevant Dividend Payment Date occurs or such other date, not exceeding 30 days before the applicable Dividend Payment Date, as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors (each, a “Record Date”). Each period from and including a Dividend Payment Date (or the date of the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock) to but excluding the following Dividend Payment Date is herein referred to as a “Dividend Period,” except that the initial Dividend Period will commence on and include the Effective Date and will end on and exclude December 1, 2020.

(c) If a day that would otherwise be a Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then such date will nevertheless be a Dividend Payment Date but dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock, when, as and if declared, will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day (without adjustment in the amount of the dividend per share of the Series A Preferred Stock).

(d) The amount of the dividend computed per share of Series A Preferred Stock will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dollar amounts resulting from that calculation shall be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upwards. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall cease to accrue on the redemption date, if any, as described in Section 5, unless the Corporation defaults in the payment of the redemption price of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock called for redemption.

(e) Dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock are non-cumulative. If the Board of Directors does not authorize and declare a dividend on the Series A Preferred Stock or if the Board of Directors authorizes and declares less than a full dividend in respect of any Dividend Period, the Holders will have no right to receive any dividend or a full dividend, as the case may be, for the applicable Dividend Period, and the Corporation will have no obligation to pay a dividend or to pay full dividends for that Dividend Period, whether or not dividends are authorized, declared and paid for any future Dividend Period with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock or the Common Stock or any other class or series of Preferred Stock.

(f) If full dividends on all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock for the most recently completed Dividend Period have not been authorized, declared, and paid or set aside for payment, the Corporation shall not declare or pay dividends with respect to, or redeem, purchase or acquire any of, its Junior Securities during the next succeeding Dividend Period, other than:

(i) dividends payable solely in Junior Securities;

3

(ii) redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions of Junior Securities in connection with any benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the benefit of any one or more employees, officers, directors or consultants or in connection with a dividend reinvestment or shareholder stock purchase plan;

(iii) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any shareholders’ rights plan, including with respect to any successor shareholders’ rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property under any shareholders’ rights plan, including with respect to any successor shareholders’ rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights pursuant thereto; and

(iv) conversions into or exchanges for other Junior Securities and cash solely in lieu of fractional shares of the Junior Securities.

If dividends for any Dividend Payment Date are not paid in full on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and there are issued and outstanding shares of Parity Securities with the same Dividend Payment Date, then all dividends declared on shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and such Parity Securities on such date shall be declared pro rata so that the respective amounts of such dividends shall bear the same ratio to each other as full dividends (or equivalent) per share on the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and all such Parity Securities otherwise payable on such Dividend Payment Date (subject to their having been authorized and declared by the Board of Directors out of legally available funds and including, in the case of any such Parity Securities that bear cumulative dividends, all accrued but unpaid dividends) bear to each other.

(g) Payments of cash for dividends will be delivered to Holders or, if any interests in the Series A Preferred Stock are held through depositary shares, through the processes set by the depositary.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no dividends on shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be authorized and declared by the Board of Directors or paid by the Corporation (i) if such dividend is restricted or prohibited by law, or (ii) if the Corporation has, with respect to payment of such dividend, not received any requisite regulatory approval.

(5) REDEMPTION.

(a) The Series A Preferred Stock is not subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. The Series A Preferred Stock is not redeemable prior to September 1, 2025. On and after that date, Series A Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of the Corporation, in whole or in part, for cash at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share, plus any authorized, declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of undeclared dividends, on any Dividend Payment Date. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have no right to require the redemption or repurchase of Series A Preferred Stock. Notwithstanding the foregoing, within 90 days following the occurrence of a Regulatory Capital Treatment Event, the Corporation, at its option, may redeem, all (but not less than all) of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, at a redemption price equal to $1,000 per share, plus any authorized, declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends. Redemption or repurchase of Series A Preferred Stock is subject to receipt of prior approval of the Federal Reserve (or another successor bank regulatory authority that may become the Corporation’s appropriate federal banking agency as defined in 12 U.S.C. § 1813, as amended) and any other applicable banking regulators and to the satisfaction of any conditions set forth in the capital standards, guidelines or regulations of the Federal Reserve (or another successor bank regulatory authority that may become the Corporation’s appropriate federal banking agency) applicable to redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(b) If shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail to the Holders of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, mailed not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof (provided that, if any depositary shares representing proportional interests in the Series A Preferred Stock are held in book-entry form through DTC, the Corporation may give such notice in any manner permitted by DTC). Each notice of redemption will include a statement setting forth: (i) the redemption date; (ii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed and, if less than all the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by a Holder are to be redeemed, the number of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such Holder; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or

4

places where the certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accrue on the redemption date. If notice of redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock has been duly given and if the funds necessary for such redemption have been deposited in trust by the Corporation for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, on and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus any authorized, declared and unpaid dividends, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends. Any notice of redemption, once given, shall be irrevocable.

(c) 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, by lot or in such other manner as the Corporation may determine to be equitable and permitted by the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or the rules of any other stock exchange on which the Series A Preferred Stock is listed).

(6) LIQUIDATION.

(a) In the event the Corporation voluntarily or involuntarily liquidates, dissolves or winds up, the Holders at the time shall be entitled to receive liquidating distributions in the amount of $1,000 per share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Liquidation Amount”), plus an amount equal to any authorized and declared but unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date of such liquidation, without accumulation of any undeclared dividends, out of assets legally available for distribution to the Corporation’s shareholders, before any distribution of assets is made to the holders of the Common Stock or any other Junior Securities. After payment of the full amount of such liquidating distributions, the Holders will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by, and shall have no right or claim to any remaining assets of, the Corporation.

(b) In the event the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to shareholders upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, are insufficient to pay in full the amounts payable with respect to all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on any Parity Securities, Holders and the holders of such Parity Securities shall share ratably in any distribution of assets of the Corporation in proportion to the full respective liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

(c) The Corporation’s merger with or into any other entity, the merger of any other entity with or into the Corporation, the conversion of the Corporation into another entity or the sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s property or business will not constitute its liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

(d) In determining whether a distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary winding up of the Corporation), by dividend, redemption or other acquisition of shares of stock of the Corporation or otherwise, is permitted under the BCL, amounts that would be needed, if the Corporation were to be wound up at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon winding up of Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be added to the Corporation’s total liabilities in determining the Corporation’s net assets.

(7) MATURITY. The Series A Preferred Stock shall be perpetual.

(8) VOTING RIGHTS. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights except as set forth below or as otherwise specifically required by the BCL.

(a) Right to Elect Two Directors upon Nonpayment Events. (i) If and when the dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock or on any other class or series of the Corporation’s Parity Securities that has voting rights equivalent to those of the Series A Preferred Stock, have not been authorized, declared and paid in full for at least six quarterly Dividend Periods or their equivalent (whether or not consecutive), the authorized number of directors then constituting the Board of Directors will be automatically increased by two. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of all other classes and series of Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable and which are entitled to vote for the election of the two additional directors, voting together as a

5

single class, with each series or class having a number of votes proportionate to the aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of such class or series, will be entitled to elect the two additional members of the Board of Directors (the “Preferred Stock Directors”) at any annual or special meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected or any special meeting of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and any Parity Securities for which dividends have not been paid, called as provided below, but only if the election of any Preferred Stock Directors would not cause the Corporation to violate the applicable corporate governance requirement of the Nasdaq Global Select Market (or any other exchange on which the Corporation’s securities may be listed) that listed companies must have a majority of independent directors. In addition, the Board of Directors shall at no time have more than two Preferred Stock Directors.

(i) At any time after this voting power has vested as described above, the Corporation’s Secretary may, and upon the written request of holders of record of at least 20% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such Parity Securities (addressed to the Secretary at the Corporation’s principal office) must call a special meeting of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and such Parity Securities for the election of the Preferred Stock Directors. Notice for a special meeting will be given in a similar manner to that provided in the Bylaws for a special meeting of the shareholders, which the Corporation will provide upon request, or as required by law. If the Corporation’s Secretary is required to call a meeting but does not do so within 20 days after receipt of any such request, then any Holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock may (at the Corporation’s expense) call such meeting, upon notice as provided in this Section 8, and for that purpose will have access to the Corporation’s stock books. The Preferred Stock Directors elected at any such special meeting will hold office until the next annual meeting of the Corporation’s shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified unless such directorships have been previously terminated as described below. In case any vacancy occurs among the Preferred Stock Directors, a successor will be elected by the Board of Directors to serve until the next annual meeting of the shareholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified upon the nomination by the remaining Preferred Stock Director or if none remains in office, by the vote of the holders of record of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all Parity Securities, voting as a single class, with each series or class having a number of votes proportionate to the aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of such class or series. The Preferred Stock Directors shall each be entitled to one vote per director on any matter.

(ii) Whenever full dividends have been paid or set aside for payment on the Series A Preferred Stock and any non-cumulative Parity Securities for at least one year and all dividends on any cumulative Parity Securities have been paid in full, then the right of the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of any Parity Securities to elect the Preferred Stock Directors will cease (but subject always to the same provisions for the vesting of these voting rights in the case of any similar non-payment of dividends in respect of future Dividend Periods), the terms of office of all Preferred Stock Directors will immediately terminate and the number of directors constituting the Board of Directors will be automatically reduced accordingly.

(b) Other Voting Rights. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of shareholders required by the Charter, the Bylaws or the BCL, the vote or consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and any class or series of Parity Securities upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable and are then outstanding, voting together as a single class, with each series or class having a number of votes proportionate to the aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding shares of such class or series, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating:

(i) Certain Charter Amendments. Any amendment of the Charter to authorize, or increase the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or series of stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or distribution of assets on the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up; as well as any amendment of the Charter or Bylaws that would alter or change the voting powers, limitations, preferences or relative rights of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely; provided that the amendment of the Charter so as

6

to authorize or create, or to increase the authorized amount of, any shares of any class or series, or any securities convertible into shares of any class or series, of stock of the Corporation ranking on a parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends and in the distribution of assets on the Corporation’s liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, shall not be deemed to adversely affect the voting powers, limitations, preferences or relative rights of the Series A Preferred Stock; or

(ii) Certain Mergers. Any merger of the Corporation with or into any entity other than a corporation (or comparable foreign entity), or any merger of the Corporation with or into any corporation (or comparable foreign entity) unless the Corporation is the surviving corporation in such merger and the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding.

(c) Sections 8(a) and (b) shall not apply if, at or prior to the time when the act with respect to which the vote would otherwise be required shall be effected, all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have been redeemed or called for redemption upon proper notice and sufficient funds shall have been deposited in trust by the Corporation for the benefit of Holders of Series A Preferred Stock to effect the redemption.

(d) Except as expressly provided in this Section 8, each Holder of Series A Preferred Stock will have one vote per share on any matter on which Holders of Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, including any action by written consent. The Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have exclusive voting rights on any amendment to this Statement with Respect to Shares that would alter only the contract rights, as expressly set forth in this Statement with Respect to Shares, of the Series A Preferred Stock, to the fullest extent permitted by the BCL.

(9) TRANSFER AGENT, REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. The duly appointed Transfer Agent and Registrar for the Series A Preferred Stock shall initially be American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, and the paying agent for the Series A Preferred Stock shall initially be American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, remove the Transfer Agent, Registrar, and paying agent; provided that the Corporation shall appoint a successor Transfer Agent, Registrar and paying agent who shall accept such appointment prior to the effectiveness of such removal.

(10) NOTICES. All notices referred to herein shall be in writing and, unless otherwise specified herein, all notices hereunder shall be deemed to have been given upon the earlier of receipt thereof or three Business Days after the mailing thereof if sent by registered or certified mail (unless first-class mail shall be specifically permitted for such notice under the terms of this Statement with Respect to Shares) with postage prepaid, addressed: (i) if to the Corporation, to the principal executive office of the Corporation or to the Transfer Agent at its principal office in the United States of America, or other agent of the Corporation designated as permitted by this Statement with Respect to Shares, or (ii) if to any Holder or any holder of shares of Common Stock, as the case may be, to such Holder or holder at the address of such Holder or holder as listed in the share transfer records of the Corporation (which may include the records of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock or the Common Stock, as the case may be), or (iii) to such other address as the Corporation or any such Holder or holder, as the case may be, shall have designated by notice similarly given.

(11) NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. No share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have any rights of preemption whatsoever as to any securities of the Corporation, or any warrants, rights or options issued or granted with respect thereto, regardless of how such securities, or such warrants, rights or options, may be designated, issued or granted.

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

FORM OF RECEIPTS, DEPOSIT OF SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK, EXECUTION AND DELIVERY, TRANSFER, SURRENDER AND REDEMPTION OF RECEIPTS

Section 2.1 Form and Transfer of Receipts. The definitive Receipts shall be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A annexed to this Agreement, with appropriate insertions, modifications and omissions, as hereinafter provided. Pending the preparation of definitive Receipts, the Depositary, upon the written order of the Corporation, delivered in compliance with Section 2.2, shall execute and deliver temporary Receipts which may be printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise substantially of the tenor of the definitive Receipts in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the persons executing such Receipts may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Receipts. If temporary Receipts are issued, the Corporation and the Depositary will cause definitive Receipts to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Receipts, the temporary Receipts shall be exchangeable for definitive Receipts upon surrender of the temporary Receipts at an office described in the last paragraph of Section 2.2. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Receipts, the Depositary shall execute

2

and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Receipts representing the same number of Depositary Shares as represented by the surrendered temporary Receipt or Receipts. Such exchange shall be made at the Corporation’s expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Receipts shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Agreement as definitive Receipts. Notwithstanding anything in this Deposit Agreement to the contrary, Receipts may be issued electronically or otherwise in book-entry format.

Receipts shall be executed by the Depositary by the manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary. No Receipt shall be entitled to any benefits under this Deposit Agreement or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless it shall have been executed manually or by facsimile signature by a duly authorized officer of the Depositary or, if a Registrar for the Receipts (other than the Depositary) shall have been appointed, by manual or facsimile signature of a duly authorized officer of the Depositary and countersigned by manual or facsimile signature by a duly authorized officer of such Registrar. The Depositary shall record on its books each Receipt so signed and delivered as hereinafter provided.

Receipts shall be in denominations of any number of whole Depositary Shares.

Receipts may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement all as may be required by the Depositary and approved by the Corporation or required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange upon which the Series A Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts may be listed or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Receipts are subject.

Title to Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt which is properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer, shall be transferable by delivery with the same effect as in the case of a negotiable instrument; provided, however, that until transfer of any particular Receipt shall be registered on the books of the Depositary as provided in Section 2.3, the Depositary may, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary, treat the Record Holder thereof at such time as the absolute owner thereof for the purpose of determining the person entitled to dividends or other distributions or to any notice provided for in this Deposit Agreement and for all other purposes.

Section 2.2 Deposit of Series A Preferred Stock; Execution and Delivery of Receipts in Respect Thereof. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Corporation may from time to time deposit shares of Series A Preferred Stock under this Deposit Agreement by delivery to the Depositary, including via electronic book-entry, of a certificate or certificates for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be deposited, properly endorsed or accompanied, if required by the Depositary, by a duly executed instrument of transfer or endorsement, in form satisfactory to the Depositary, together with an executed Officer’s Certificate attaching the Statement with Respect to Shares and all other information required to be set forth therein, and together with a written order of the Corporation directing the Depositary to execute and deliver to, or upon the written order of, the person or persons stated in such order a Receipt or Receipts evidencing in the aggregate the number of Depositary Shares representing such deposited Series A Preferred Stock. Each Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Depositary in accordance with the terms of this Deposit Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Deposit Agreement and shall be binding on the Corporation, the Depositary and the Holders of Receipts to which such Officer’s Certificate relates.

The Series A Preferred Stock that is deposited shall be held by the Depositary at the Depositary’s Office or at such other place or places as the Depositary shall determine. The Depositary shall not lend any Series A Preferred Stock deposited hereunder.

Upon receipt by the Depositary of a certificate or certificates for Series A Preferred Stock deposited in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.2, together with the other documents required as above specified, and upon recordation of the Series A Preferred Stock on the books of the Corporation (or its duly appointed transfer agent) in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, the Depositary, subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, shall execute and deliver to or upon the order of the person or persons named in the written order delivered to the Depositary in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 2.2, a Receipt or Receipts evidencing in the aggregate the number of Depositary Shares representing the Series A Preferred Stock so deposited

and registered in such name or names as may be requested by such person or persons. The Depositary shall execute and deliver such Receipt or Receipts at the Depositary’s Office or such other offices, if any, as the Depositary may designate. Delivery at other offices shall be at the risk and expense of the person requesting such delivery.

Section 2.3 Registration of Transfer of Receipts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall register on its books from time to time transfers of Receipts upon any surrender thereof by the Holder in person or by duly authorized attorney, properly endorsed or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer. Such instrument of transfer shall include evidence of the authority of the party seeking transfer which shall include a signature guarantee from an eligible guarantor institution participating in a signature guarantee program approved by the Securities Transfer Association, and any other reasonable evidence of authority that may be required by the Depositary. Thereupon, the Depositary shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts evidencing the same aggregate number of Depositary Shares as those evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered and deliver such new Receipt or Receipts to or upon the order of the person entitled thereto.

The Depositary shall not be required (a) to issue, transfer or exchange any Receipts for a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days next preceding any selection of Depositary Shares and Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of notice of redemption, or (b) to transfer or exchange for another Receipt any Receipt called or being called for redemption in whole or in part except as provided in Section 2.8.

Section 2.4 Split-ups and Combinations of Receipts; Surrender of Receipts and Withdrawal of Series A Preferred Stock. Upon surrender of a Receipt or Receipts at the Depositary’s Office or at such other offices as it may designate for the purpose of effecting a split-up or combination of such Receipt or Receipts, and subject to the terms and conditions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall execute a new Receipt or Receipts in the authorized denomination or denominations requested, evidencing the aggregate number of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipt or Receipts surrendered, and shall deliver such new Receipt or Receipts to or upon the order of the Holder of the Receipt or Receipts so surrendered.

Any Holder of a Receipt or Receipts may withdraw the number of whole shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all money and other property, if any, represented thereby by surrendering such Receipt or Receipts at the Depositary’s Office or at such other offices as the Depositary may designate for such withdrawals. Thereafter, without unreasonable delay, the Depositary shall deliver to such Holder, or to the person or persons designated by such Holder as hereinafter provided, the number of whole shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all money and other property, if any, represented by the Receipt or Receipts so surrendered for withdrawal, but Holders of such whole shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not thereafter be entitled to deposit such Series A Preferred Stock hereunder or to receive a Receipt evidencing Depositary Shares therefor. If a Receipt delivered by the Holder to the Depositary in connection with such withdrawal shall evidence a number of Depositary Shares in excess of the number of Depositary Shares representing the number of whole shares of Series A Preferred Stock, the Depositary shall at the same time, in addition to such number of whole shares of Series A Preferred Stock and such money and other property, if any, to be so withdrawn, deliver to such Holder, or subject to Section 2.3 upon his order, a new Receipt evidencing such excess number of Depositary Shares.

In no event will fractional shares of Series A Preferred Stock (or any cash payment in lieu thereof) be delivered by the Depositary. Delivery of the Series A Preferred Stock and money and other property, if any, being withdrawn may be made by the delivery of such certificates, documents of title and other instruments as the Depositary may deem appropriate.

If the Series A Preferred Stock and the money and other property, if any, being withdrawn are to be delivered to a person or persons other than the Record Holder of the related Receipt or Receipts being surrendered for withdrawal, such Holder shall execute and deliver to the Depositary a written order so directing the Depositary and the Depositary may require that the Receipt or Receipts surrendered by such Holder for withdrawal of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock and money and other property, if any, be properly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a properly executed instrument of transfer in blank.

Delivery of the Series A Preferred Stock and the money and other property, if any, represented by Receipts surrendered for withdrawal shall be made by the Depositary at the Depositary’s Office, except that, at the request, risk and expense of the Holder surrendering such Receipt or Receipts and for the account of the Holder thereof, such delivery may be made at such other place as may be designated by such Holder.

Section 2.5 Limitations on Execution and Delivery, Transfer, Surrender and Exchange of Receipts. As a condition precedent to the execution and delivery, registration of transfer, split-up, combination, surrender or exchange of any Receipt, the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s Agents or the Corporation may require payment to it of a sum sufficient for the payment (or, in the event that the Depositary or the Corporation shall have made such payment, the reimbursement to it) of any charges or expenses payable by the Holder of a Receipt pursuant to Section 5.7, may require the production of evidence satisfactory to it as to the identity and genuineness of any signature and may also require compliance with such regulations, if any, as the Depositary or the Corporation may establish consistent with the provisions of this Deposit Agreement and/or applicable law.

The deposit of the Series A Preferred Stock may be refused, the delivery of Receipts against Series A Preferred Stock may be suspended, the registration of transfer of Receipts may be refused and the registration of transfer, surrender or exchange of outstanding Receipts may be suspended (i) during any period when the register of stockholders of the Corporation is closed or (ii) if any such action is deemed necessary or advisable by the Depositary, any of the Depositary’s Agents or the Corporation at any time or from time to time because of any requirement of law or of any government or governmental body or commission or under any provision of this Deposit Agreement.

Section 2.6 Lost Receipts, etc. In case any Receipt shall be mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Depositary in its discretion may execute and deliver a Receipt of like form and tenor in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Receipt, or in lieu of and in substitution for such destroyed, lost or stolen Receipt, upon (i) the filing by the Holder thereof with the Depositary of evidence satisfactory to the Depositary of such mutilation, destruction or loss or theft of such Receipt, of the authenticity thereof and of his or her ownership thereof and (ii) the Holder thereof furnishing the Depositary with an affidavit and bond satisfactory to the Corporation.

Section 2.7 Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Receipts. All Receipts surrendered to the Depositary or any Depositary’s Agent shall be cancelled by the Depositary. Except as prohibited by applicable law or regulation, the Depositary is authorized and directed to destroy all Receipts so cancelled.

Section 2.8 Redemption of Series A Preferred Stock. Whenever the Corporation shall be permitted and shall elect to redeem shares of Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms of the Statement with Respect to Shares, it shall (unless otherwise agreed to in writing with the Depositary) give or cause to be given to the Depositary, not less than 15 days and not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date (as defined below), notice of the date of such proposed redemption of Series A Preferred Stock and of the number of such shares held by the Depositary to be so redeemed and the applicable redemption price, which notice shall be accompanied by a certificate from the Corporation stating that such redemption of Series A Preferred Stock is in accordance with the provisions of the Statement with Respect to Shares. On the date of such redemption, provided that the Corporation shall then have paid or caused to be paid in full to the Depositary the redemption price of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, plus an amount equal to any declared and unpaid dividends, without regard to, or accumulation of, any undeclared dividends, in accordance with the provisions of the Statement with Respect to Shares, the Depositary shall redeem the number of Depositary Shares representing such Series A Preferred Stock. The Depositary shall mail notice of the Corporation’s redemption of Series A Preferred Stock and the proposed simultaneous redemption of the number of Depositary Shares representing the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed by first-class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 15 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption of such Series A Preferred Stock and Depositary Shares (the “Redemption Date”), to the Record Holders of the Receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed at their respective last addresses as they appear on the records of the Depositary; but neither failure to mail any such notice of redemption of Depositary Shares to one or more such Holders nor any defect in any notice of redemption of Depositary Shares to one or more such Holders shall affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for redemption as to the other Holders. Each such notice shall be prepared by the Corporation and shall state: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of Depositary Shares to be redeemed and, if less than all the Depositary Shares held by any such Holder are to be redeemed, the number of such Depositary Shares held by such Holder to be so redeemed; (iii) the redemption price; (iv) the place or places where Receipts representing such Depositary Shares are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and (v) that dividends in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock represented by such Depositary Shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such Redemption Date. In case less than all the outstanding Depositary Shares are to be redeemed, the Depositary Shares to be so redeemed shall be selected either pro rata or by lot.

5

Notice having been mailed by the Depositary as aforesaid, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation shall have failed to provide the funds necessary to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock evidenced by the Depositary Shares called for redemption) (i) dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for Redemption shall cease to accrue from and after such date, (ii) the Depositary Shares being redeemed from such proceeds shall be deemed no longer to be outstanding, (iii) all rights of the Holders of Receipts evidencing such Depositary Shares (except the right to receive the amounts described in clause (iv) of this paragraph) shall, to the extent of such Depositary Shares, cease and terminate, and (iv) upon surrender in accordance with such redemption notice of the Receipts evidencing any such Depositary Shares called for redemption (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Depositary or applicable law shall so require), such Depositary Shares shall be redeemed by the Depositary at a redemption price per Depositary Share equal to 1/40th of the redemption price per share of Series A Preferred Stock so redeemed plus all money and other property, if any, represented by such Depositary Shares, including all amounts paid by the Corporation in respect of dividends (and not previously distributed to the Holders of Depositary Shares) in accordance with the provisions of the Statement with Respect to Shares.

If fewer than all of the Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt are called for redemption, the Depositary will deliver to the Holder of such Receipt upon its surrender to the Depositary, together with the redemption payment, a new Receipt evidencing the Depositary Shares evidenced by such prior Receipt and not called for redemption.

The Corporation shall be entitled to receive, from time to time, from the Depositary any interest accrued on such funds deposited with the Depositary, and the holders of any Receipts called for redemption shall have no claim to any such interest. Any funds so deposited and unclaimed at the end of two years from the applicable Redemption Date shall, to the extent permitted by law, be repaid by the Depositary to the Corporation.

Section 2.9 Receipts Issuable in Global Registered Form. If the Corporation shall determine in a writing delivered to the Depositary that the Receipts are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Registered Receipts, then the Depositary shall, in accordance with the other provisions of this Deposit Agreement, execute and deliver one or more Global Registered Receipts evidencing the Receipts, which (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, the Receipts to be represented by such Global Registered Receipt or Global Registered Receipts, and (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Global Receipt Depository therefor or its nominee.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deposit Agreement to the contrary, unless otherwise provided in the Global Registered Receipt, a Global Registered Receipt may only be transferred in whole and only by the applicable Global Receipt Depository for such Global Registered Receipt to a nominee of such Global Receipt Depository, or by a nominee of such Global Receipt Depository to such Global Receipt Depository or another nominee of such Global Receipt Depository, or by such Global Receipt Depository or any such nominee to a successor Global Receipt Depository for such Global Registered Receipt selected or approved by the Corporation or to a nominee of such successor Global Receipt Depository. Except as provided below, owners solely of beneficial interests in a Global Registered Receipt shall not be entitled to receive physical delivery of the Receipts represented by such Global Registered Receipt. Neither any such beneficial owner nor any direct or indirect participant of a Global Receipt Depository shall have any rights under this Deposit Agreement with respect to any Global Registered Receipt held on their behalf by a Global Receipt Depository and such Global Receipt Depository may be treated by the Corporation, the Depositary and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation or the Depositary as the holder of such Global Registered Receipt for all purposes whatsoever. Unless and until definitive Receipts are delivered to the owners of the beneficial interests in a Global Registered Receipt, (i) the applicable Global Receipt Depository will make book-entry transfers among its participants and receive and transmit all payments and distributions in respect of the Global Registered Receipts to such participants, in each case, in accordance with its applicable procedures and arrangements, and (ii) whenever any notice, payment or other communication to the holders of Global Registered Receipts is required under this Deposit Agreement, the Corporation and the Depositary shall give all such notices, payments and communications specified herein to be given to such holders to the applicable Global Receipt Depository.

6

If an Exchange Event has occurred with respect to any Global Registered Receipt, then the Depositary shall, upon receipt of a written order from the Corporation for the execution and delivery of individual definitive registered Receipts in exchange for such Global Registered Receipt, execute and deliver individual definitive registered Receipts, in authorized denominations and of like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Registered Receipt so exchanged, in exchange for such Global Registered Receipt.

Definitive registered Receipts issued in exchange for a Global Registered Receipt pursuant to this Section 2.9 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Global Receipt Depository for such Global Registered Receipt, pursuant to instructions from its participants, shall instruct the Depositary in writing. The Depositary shall deliver such Receipts to the persons in whose names such Receipts are so registered.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Deposit Agreement, should the Corporation determine that the Receipts should be issued as a Global Registered Receipt, the parties hereto shall comply with the terms of any Letter of Representations.

Section 3.1 Filing Proofs, Certificates and Other Information. Any Holder of a Receipt may be required from time to time to file such proof of residence, or other matters or other information, to execute such certificates and to make such representations and warranties as the Depositary or the Corporation may reasonably deem necessary or proper. The Depositary or the Corporation may withhold the delivery, or delay the registration of transfer or redemption, of any Receipt or the withdrawal of the Series A Preferred Stock and all money or other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by a Receipt or the distribution of any dividend or other distribution or the sale of any rights or of the proceeds thereof until such proof or other information is filed or such certificates are executed or such representations and warranties are made.

Registration of transfer of any Receipt or any withdrawal of Series A Preferred Stock and all money or other property, if any, represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt may be refused until any such payment due is made, and any dividends, interest payments or other distributions may be withheld or any part of or all the Series A Preferred Stock or other property represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt and not theretofore sold may be sold for the account of the Holder thereof (after attempting by reasonable means to notify such Holder prior to such sale), and such dividends, interest payments or other distributions or the proceeds of any such sale may be applied to any payment of such charges or expenses, the Holder of such Receipt remaining liable for any deficiency.

THE DEPOSITED SECURITIES; NOTICES

Section 4.1 Cash Distributions. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any cash dividend or other cash distribution on the Series A Preferred Stock, the Depositary shall, subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, distribute to

7

Record Holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 such amounts of such dividend or distribution as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by the Receipts held by such Holders; provided, however, that in case the Corporation or the Depositary shall be required to withhold and shall withhold from any cash dividend or other cash distribution in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock an amount on account of taxes, the amount made available for distribution or distributed in respect of Depositary Shares shall be reduced accordingly. The Depositary shall distribute or make available for distribution, as the case may be, only such amount, however, as can be distributed without attributing to any Holder of Receipts a fraction of one cent, and any balance not so distributable shall be held by the Depositary (without liability for interest thereon) and shall be added to and be treated as part of the next sum received by the Depositary for distribution to Record Holders of Receipts then outstanding. Each Holder of a Receipt shall provide the Depositary with its certified tax identification number on a properly completed Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E (or other appropriate Form W-8) or W-9, as may be applicable. Each Holder of a Receipt acknowledges that, in the event of non-compliance with the preceding sentence, the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, may require withholding by the Depositary of a portion of any of the distributions to be made hereunder.

Section 4.2 Distributions Other than Cash, Rights, Preferences or Privileges. Whenever the Depositary shall receive any distribution other than cash, rights, preferences or privileges upon the Series A Preferred Stock, the Depositary shall, at the direction of the Corporation, subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, distribute to Record Holders of Receipts on the record date fixed pursuant to Section 4.4 such amounts of the securities or property received by it as are, as nearly as practicable, in proportion to the respective numbers of Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipts held by such Holders, in any manner that the Depositary may deem equitable and practicable for accomplishing such distribution. If in the opinion of the Depositary such distribution cannot be made proportionately among such Record Holders in accordance with the direction of the Corporation, or if for any other reason (including any requirement that the Corporation or the Depositary withhold an amount on account of taxes) the Depositary deems, after consultation with the Corporation, such distribution not to be feasible, the Depositary may, with the approval of the Corporation, adopt such method as it deems equitable and practicable for the purpose of effecting such distribution, including the sale (at public or private sale) of the securities or property thus received, or any part thereof, in a commercially reasonable manner. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, be distributed or made available for distribution, as the case may be, by the Depositary to Record Holders of Receipts as provided by Section 4.1 in the case of a distribution received in cash. The Corporation shall not make any distribution of any such securities or property to the Depositary and the Depositary shall not make any distribution of any such securities or property to the Holders of Receipts unless the Corporation shall have provided an opinion of counsel stating that such securities or property have been registered under the Securities Act or do not need to be registered in connection with such distributions.

Section 4.3 Subscription Rights, Preferences or Privileges. If the Corporation shall at any time offer or cause to be offered to the persons in whose names the Series A Preferred Stock is recorded on the books of the Corporation any rights, preferences or privileges to subscribe for or to purchase any securities or any rights, preferences or privileges of any other nature, such rights, preferences or privileges shall in each such instance be made available by the Depositary to the Record Holders of Receipts in such manner as the Corporation shall direct and the Depositary shall agree, either by the issue to such Record Holders of warrants representing such rights, preferences or privileges or by such other method as may be approved by the Corporation; provided, however, that (i) if at the time of issue or offer of any such rights, preferences or privileges the Depositary determines that it is not lawful or (after consultation with the Corporation) not feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available to Holders of Receipts by the issue of warrants or otherwise, or (ii) if and to the extent so instructed by Holders of Receipts who do not desire to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges, then the Depositary, in its discretion (with approval of the Corporation, in any case where the Depositary has determined that it is not feasible to make such rights, preferences or privileges available), may, if applicable laws or the terms of such rights, preferences or privileges permit such transfer, sell such rights, preferences or privileges at public or private sale, at such place or places and upon such terms as it may deem proper. The net proceeds of any such sale shall, subject to Sections 3.1 and 3.2, be distributed by the Depositary to the Record Holders of Receipts entitled thereto as provided by Section 4.1 in the case of a distribution received in cash.

The Corporation shall notify the Depositary whether registration under the Securities Act of the securities to which any rights, preferences or privileges relate is required in order for Holders of Receipts to be offered or sold the securities to which such rights, preferences or privileges relate, and the Corporation agrees with the Depositary

8

that it will file promptly a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act with respect to such rights, preferences or privileges and securities and use its reasonable best efforts and take all steps available to it to cause such registration statement to become effective sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such Holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges. In no event shall the Depositary make available to the Holders of Receipts any right, preference or privilege to subscribe for or to purchase any securities unless and until such registration statement shall have become effective, or the Corporation shall have provided to the Depositary an opinion of counsel to the effect that the offering and sale of such securities to the Holders are exempt from registration under the provisions of the Securities Act.

The Corporation shall notify the Depositary whether any other action under the laws of any jurisdiction or any governmental or administrative authorization, consent or permit is required in order for such rights, preferences or privileges to be made available to Holders of Receipts, and the Corporation agrees with the Depositary that the Corporation will use its reasonable best efforts to take such action or obtain such authorization, consent or permit sufficiently in advance of the expiration of such rights, preferences or privileges to enable such Holders to exercise such rights, preferences or privileges.

Section 4.4 Notice of Dividends, etc.; Fixing Record Date for Holders of Receipts. Whenever any cash dividend or other cash distribution shall become payable or any distribution other than cash shall be made, or if rights, preferences or privileges shall at any time be offered, with respect to the Series A Preferred Stock, or whenever the Depositary shall receive notice of any meeting at which holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote or of which holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to notice, or whenever the Depositary and the Corporation shall decide it is appropriate, the Depositary shall in each such instance fix a record date (which shall be the same date as the record date fixed by the Corporation with respect to or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock) for the determination of the Holders of Receipts who shall be entitled to receive such dividend, distribution, rights, preferences or privileges or the net proceeds of the sale thereof, or to give instructions for the exercise of voting rights at any such meeting, or who shall be entitled to notice of such meeting or for any other appropriate reasons.

Section 4.5 Voting Rights. Subject to the provisions of the Statement with Respect to Shares, upon receipt of notice of any meeting at which the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote, the Depositary shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, mail to the Record Holders of Receipts a notice prepared by the Corporation which shall contain (i) such information as is contained in such notice of meeting and (ii) a statement that the Holders may, subject to any applicable restrictions, instruct the Depositary as to the exercise of the voting rights pertaining to the amount of Series A Preferred Stock represented by their respective Depositary Shares (including an express indication that instructions may be given to the Depositary to give a discretionary proxy to a person designated by the Corporation) and a brief statement as to the manner in which such instructions may be given. Upon the written request of the Holders of Receipts on the relevant record date, the Depositary shall endeavor insofar as practicable to vote or cause to be voted, in accordance with the instructions set forth in such requests, the maximum number of whole shares of Series A Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by all Receipts as to which any particular voting instructions are received. The Corporation hereby agrees to take all reasonable action which may be deemed necessary by the Depositary in order to enable the Depositary to vote such Series A Preferred Stock or cause such Series A Preferred Stock to be voted. In the absence of specific instructions from the Holder of a Receipt, the Depositary will not vote (but, at its discretion, may appear at any meeting with respect to such Series A Preferred Stock unless directed to the contrary by the Holders of all the Receipts) to the extent of the Series A Preferred Stock represented by the Depositary Shares evidenced by such Receipt.

Section 4.6 Changes Affecting Deposited Securities and Reclassifications, Recapitalizations, etc. Upon any change in par or stated value, split-up, combination or any other reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock, subject to the provisions of the Statement with Respect to Shares, or upon any recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation affecting the Corporation or to which it is a party, the Depositary may in its discretion with the approval of, and shall upon the instructions of, the Corporation, and (in either case) in such manner as the Depositary may deem equitable, (i) make such adjustments as are certified by the Corporation in the fraction of an interest in one share of Series A Preferred Stock represented by one Depositary Share and in the ratio of the redemption price per Depositary Share to the redemption price per share of Series A Preferred Stock, in each case as may be necessary fully to reflect the effects of such change in par or stated value, split-up, combination or other reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock, or of such recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation

9

and (ii) treat any securities which shall be received by the Depositary in exchange for or upon conversion of or in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock as new deposited securities so received in exchange for or upon conversion or in respect of such Series A Preferred Stock. In any such case the Depositary may in its discretion, with the approval of the Corporation, execute and deliver additional Receipts or may call for the surrender of all outstanding Receipts to be exchanged for new Receipts specifically describing such new deposited securities. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, Holders of Receipts shall have the right from and after the effective date of any such change in par or stated value, split-up, combination or other reclassification of the Series A Preferred Stock or any such recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation to surrender such Receipts to the Depositary with instructions to convert, exchange or surrender the Series A Preferred Stock represented thereby only into or for, as the case may be, the kind and amount of shares and other securities and property and cash into which the Series A Preferred Stock represented by such Receipts might have been converted or for which such Series A Preferred Stock might have been exchanged or surrendered immediately prior to the effective date of such transaction.

Section 4.7 Delivery of Reports. The Depositary shall furnish to Holders of Receipts any reports and communications received from the Corporation which is received by the Depositary and which the Corporation is required to furnish to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary’s Agent nor any Registrar nor the Corporation shall incur any liability to any Holder of a Receipt if by reason of any provision of any present or future law, or regulation thereunder, of the United States of America or of any other governmental authority or, in the case of the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent or the Registrar, by reason of any provision, present or future, of the Corporation’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended or supplemented (including the Statement with Respect to Shares), or by reason of any act of God or war or other circumstance beyond the control of the relevant party, the Depositary, the Depositary’s Agent, the Registrar or the Corporation shall be prevented or forbidden from, or subjected to any penalty on account of, doing or performing any act or thing which the terms of this Deposit Agreement provide shall be done or performed; nor shall the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar or the Corporation incur liability to any Holder of a Receipt (i) by reason of any nonperformance or delay, caused as aforesaid, in the performance of any act or thing which the terms of this Deposit Agreement shall provide shall or may be done or performed, or (ii) by reason of any exercise of, or failure to exercise, any discretion provided for in this Deposit Agreement except as otherwise explicitly set forth in this Deposit Agreement.

Neither the Depositary nor any Depositary’s Agent nor any Registrar nor the Corporation shall be liable for any action or any failure to act by it in reliance upon the written advice of legal counsel or accountants, or information from any person presenting Series A Preferred Stock for deposit, any Holder of a Receipt or any other person believed by it in good faith to be competent to give such information. The Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent, any Registrar and the Corporation may each rely and shall each be protected in acting upon or omitting to act upon any written notice, request, direction or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

The Depositary shall not be responsible for any failure to carry out any instruction to vote any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock or for the manner or effect of any such vote made, as long as any such action or non-action is not due to the willful misconduct or gross negligence of the Depositary. The Depositary undertakes, and any Registrar shall be required to undertake, to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Deposit Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Deposit Agreement against the Depositary or any Registrar.

The Depositary, any Depositary’s Agents, and any Registrar may own and deal in any class of securities of the Corporation and its affiliates and in Receipts. The Depositary may also act as transfer agent or registrar of any of the other securities of the Corporation and its affiliates.

The Depositary shall not be under any liability for interest on any monies at any time received by it pursuant to any of the provisions of this Deposit Agreement or of the Receipts, the Depositary Shares or the Series A Preferred Stock, nor shall it be obligated to segregate such monies from other monies held by it, except as required by law. The Depositary shall not be responsible for advancing funds on behalf of the Corporation and shall have no duty or obligation to make any payments if it has not timely received sufficient funds to make timely payments.

11

In the event the Depositary believes any ambiguity or uncertainty exists hereunder or in any notice, instruction, direction, request or other communication, paper or document received by the Depositary hereunder, or in the administration of any of the provisions of this Deposit Agreement, the Depositary shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, omitting or suffering to take any action hereunder, the Depositary may, in its sole discretion upon written notice to the Corporation, refrain from taking any action and shall be fully protected and shall not be liable in any way to the Corporation, any Holders of Receipts or any other person or entity for refraining from taking such action, unless the Depositary receives written instructions or a certificate signed by the Corporation which eliminates such ambiguity or uncertainty to the satisfaction of the Depositary or which proves or establishes the applicable matter to the satisfaction of the Depositary.

From time to time, the Corporation may provide the Depositary with instructions concerning the services performed by the Depositary under this Deposit Agreement. In addition, at any time, the Depositary may apply to any officer of the Corporation for instruction, and may consult with legal counsel for the Depositary or the Corporation with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by the Depositary under this Deposit Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, excluding the Depositary’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud (each as finally determined by a non-appealable judgment, order, decree or ruling of a court of competent jurisdiction), the Depositary’s aggregate liability during any term of this Agreement with respect to, arising from, or arising in connection with this Agreement, or from all services provided or omitted to be provided under this Agreement, whether in contract, or in tort, or otherwise, is limited to, and shall not exceed, the amounts paid hereunder by the Corporation to Depositary as fees and charges, but not including reimbursable expenses during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event for which recovery from Depositary is being sought.

The rights and obligations of the parties under this Section 5.3 shall survive any resignation or succession of any Depositary, Registrar or Depositary’s Agent and the termination of this Deposit Agreement.

Section 5.4 Resignation and Removal of the Depositary; Appointment of Successor Depositary. The Depositary may at any time resign as Depositary hereunder by delivering notice of its election to do so to the Corporation, such resignation to take effect upon the appointment of a successor Depositary and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided.

The Depositary may at any time be removed by the Corporation by notice of such removal delivered to the Depositary, such removal to take effect upon the appointment of a successor Depositary hereunder and its acceptance of such appointment as hereinafter provided.

In case at any time the Depositary acting hereunder shall resign or be removed, the Corporation shall, within 60 days after the delivery of the notice of resignation or removal, as the case may be, appoint a successor Depositary, which shall be (i) a bank or trust company having its principal office in the United States of America and having a combined capital and surplus, together with its affiliates, of at least $50,000,000 or (ii) an affiliate of such bank or trust company. If no successor Depositary shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after delivery of such notice, the resigning or removed Depositary may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Depositary. Every successor Depositary shall execute and deliver to its predecessor and to the Corporation an instrument in writing accepting its appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Depositary, without any further act or deed, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor and for all purposes shall be the Depositary under this Deposit Agreement, and such predecessor, upon payment of all sums due it and on the written request of the Corporation, shall promptly execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor all rights and powers of such predecessor hereunder, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver all right, title and interest in the Series A Preferred Stock and any moneys or property held hereunder to such successor, and shall deliver to such successor a list of the Record Holders of all outstanding Receipts and such records, books and other information in its possession relating thereto. Any successor Depositary shall promptly mail or transmit by such other method approved by such successor Depositary, in its reasonable discretion, notice of its appointment to the record holders of Receipts.

12

Any entity into or with which the Depositary may be merged, consolidated or converted shall be the successor of the Depositary without the execution or filing of any document or any further act, and notice thereof shall not be required hereunder. Such successor Depositary may authenticate the Receipts in the name of the predecessor Depositary or its own name as successor Depositary.

Section 5.5 Corporate Notices and Reports. The Corporation agrees that it will deliver to the Depositary, and the Depositary will, promptly after receipt thereof, transmit to the Record Holders of Receipts, in each case at the addresses recorded in the Depositary’s books, copies of all notices and reports (including without limitation financial statements) required by law, by the rules of any national securities exchange upon which the Series A Preferred Stock, the Depositary Shares or the Receipts are listed or by the Corporation’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended or supplemented (including the Statement with Respect to Shares), to be furnished to the Record Holders of Receipts. Such transmission will be at the Corporation’s expense and the Corporation will provide the Depositary with such number of copies of such documents as the Depositary may reasonably request. In addition, the Depositary will transmit to the Record Holders of Receipts at the Corporation’s expense such other documents as may be requested by the Corporation. Unless otherwise required by law, the requirements set forth in this Section 5.5 with respect to notice to the Record Holders of Receipts (but not to the Depositary) may be satisfied by publicly filing or furnishing such information with or to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Section 5.6 Indemnification by the Corporation. Notwithstanding Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Corporation shall indemnify the Depositary, any Depositary’s Agent and any Registrar (including each of their officers, directors, agents and employees) against, and hold each of them harmless from, any loss, damage, cost, penalty, liability or expense (including the reasonable, documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of defending itself) which may arise out of acts performed, suffered or omitted to be taken in connection with this Deposit Agreement and the Receipts by the Depositary, any Registrar or any of their respective agents (including any Depositary’s Agent) and any transactions or documents contemplated hereby, except for any liability arising out of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the respective parts of any such person or persons. The obligations of the Corporation set forth in this Section 5.6 shall survive any resignation or succession of any Depositary, Registrar or Depositary’s Agent or the termination of this Deposit Agreement.

Section 5.7 Fees, Charges and Expenses. The Corporation agrees promptly to pay the Depositary the compensation to be agreed upon with the Corporation for all services rendered by the Depositary hereunder and to reimburse the Depositary for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Depositary without gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part (or on the part of any agent or Depositary Agent) in connection with the services rendered by it (or such agent or Depositary Agent) hereunder. The Corporation shall pay all charges of the Depositary in connection with the initial deposit of the Series A Preferred Stock and the initial issuance of the Depositary Shares, all withdrawals of shares of Series A Preferred Stock by Holders of Receipts, and any redemption or exchange of the Series A Preferred Stock at the option of the Corporation. The Corporation shall pay all transfer and other taxes and governmental charges arising solely from the existence of the depositary arrangements. All other transfer and other taxes and governmental charges shall be at the expense of Holders of Depositary Shares evidenced by Receipts. If, at the request of a Holder of Receipts, the Depositary incurs charges or expenses for which the Corporation is not otherwise liable hereunder, such Holder will be liable for such charges and expenses; provided, however, that the Depositary may, at its sole option, require a Holder of a Receipt to prepay the Depositary any charge or expense the Depositary has been asked to incur at the request of such Holder. The Depositary shall present its statement for charges and expenses to the Corporation at such intervals as the Corporation and the Depositary may agree.

Section 5.8 Tax Compliance. The Depositary, on its own behalf and on behalf of the Corporation, will comply with all applicable certification, information reporting, and withholding (including “backup withholding”) requirements imposed by applicable tax laws, regulations, or administrative practice with respect to (i) any payments made with respect to the Depositary Shares or (ii) the issuance, delivery, holding, transfer, redemption, or exercise of rights under the Receipts or the Depositary Shares. Such compliance shall include, without limitation, the preparation and timely filing of required returns and the timely payment of all amounts required to be withheld to

13

the appropriate taxing authority or its designated agent. The Depositary shall comply with any direction received from the Corporation with respect to the application of such requirements to particular payments or Holders or in other particular circumstances and may, for purposes of this Deposit Agreement, rely on any such direction in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.3 hereof. The Depositary shall maintain all appropriate records documenting compliance with such requirements, and shall make such records available on request to the Corporation or to its authorized representatives.

ARTICLE VI

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION

Section 6.1 Amendment. The form of the Receipts and any provisions of this Deposit Agreement may at any time and from time to time be amended by agreement between the Corporation and the Depositary; provided, however, that no such amendment which shall materially and adversely alter the rights of the Holders of Receipts shall be effective against the Holders of Receipts unless such amendment shall have been approved by the Holders of Receipts representing in the aggregate at least a majority of the Depositary Shares then outstanding. Every Holder of an outstanding Receipt at the time any such amendment becomes effective shall be deemed, by continuing to hold such Receipt, to consent and agree to such amendment and to be bound by the Deposit Agreement as amended thereby. In no event shall any amendment impair the right, subject to the provisions of Sections 2.5 and 2.6 and Article III, of any owner of Depositary Shares to surrender any Receipt evidencing such Depositary Shares to the Depositary with instructions to deliver to the Holder the Series A Preferred Stock and all money and other property, if any, represented thereby, except in order to comply with mandatory provisions of applicable law or the rules and regulations of any governmental body, agency or commission, or applicable securities exchange.

Section 6.2 Termination. This Deposit Agreement may be terminated by the Corporation or the Depositary if (i) all outstanding Depositary Shares issued hereunder have been redeemed pursuant to Section 2.8, (ii) there shall have been made a final distribution in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock in connection with any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation and such distribution shall have been distributed to the Holders of Receipts representing Depositary Shares pursuant to Sections 4.1 or 4.2, as applicable, or (iii) upon the consent of Holders of Receipts representing in the aggregate not less than a majority of the Depositary Shares outstanding. In addition, either the Corporation or the Depositary may terminate this Depositary Agreement at any time upon a material breach of this Agreement by the other that is not cured within thirty (30) days after the date of written notice thereof by the terminating party to the breaching party.

Upon the termination of this Deposit Agreement, the Corporation shall be discharged from all obligations under this Deposit Agreement except for its obligations to the Depositary, Depositary’s Agent and any Registrar under Sections 5.6 and 5.7; provided, further, that Sections 5.3 and 5.6 and Article VII shall survive the termination of this Agreement and any succession of any Depositary, Registrar or Depositary’s Agent.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We are acting as counsel to CNB Financial Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Company”), in connection with the public offering of 2,415,000 depositary shares of the Company (the “Depositary Shares”) (including 315,000 Depositary Shares issued upon the exercise of the Underwriters’ option to purchase additional Depositary Shares), each representing 1/40^th interest in a share of 7.125% Series A Fixed-Rate Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) of the Company, pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated August 20, 2020, between the Company and Janney Montgomery Scott LLC, as representative of the underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”). The Offering by the Company is being made pursuant to a prospectus supplement dated August 20, 2020 and the accompanying prospectus dated June 25, 2020 (such documents, collectively, the “Prospectus”) that form part of the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-236-018) (the “Registration Statement”). This opinion letter is furnished to you at your request to enable you to fulfill the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K, 17 C.F.R. § 229.601(b)(5), in connection with the Registration Statement.

For purposes of this opinion letter, we have examined copies of such agreements, instruments and documents as we have deemed an appropriate basis on which to render the opinion hereinafter expressed. In our examination of the aforesaid documents, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the accuracy and completeness of all documents submitted to us, the authenticity of all original documents, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies (including pdfs). As to all matters of fact, we have relied on the representations and statements of fact made in the documents so reviewed, and we have not independently established the facts so relied on. This opinion letter is given, and all statements herein are made, in the context of the foregoing.

Further, for purposes of this opinion letter, we have assumed that: (i) the Depositary has all requisite power and authority under all applicable law and governing documents to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Deposit Agreement and has complied with all legal requirements

Hogan Lovells US LLP is a limited liability partnership registered in the District of Columbia. “Hogan Lovells” is an international legal practice that includes Hogan Lovells US LLP and Hogan Lovells International LLP, with offices in: Alicante Amsterdam Baltimore Beijing Birmingham Boston Brussels Colorado Springs Denver Dubai Dusseldorf Frankfurt Hamburg Hanoi Ho Chi Minh City Hong Kong Houston Johannesburg London Los Angeles Luxembourg Madrid Mexico City Miami Milan Minneapolis Monterrey Moscow Munich New York Northern Virginia Paris Perth Philadelphia Rio de Janeiro Rome San Francisco São Paulo Shanghai Silicon Valley Singapore Sydney Tokyo Warsaw Washington DC Associated offices: Budapest Jakarta Shanghai FTZ Ulaanbaatar Zagreb. Business Service Centers: Johannesburg Louisville. For more information see www.hoganlovells.com

pertaining to its status as such status relates to its rights to enforce the Deposit Agreement against the Company, (ii) the Depositary has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Deposit Agreement, (iii) the Depositary is validly existing and in good standing in all necessary jurisdictions, (iv) the Deposit Agreement constitutes a valid and binding obligation, enforceable against the Depositary in accordance with its terms, (v) there has been no mutual mistake of fact or misunderstanding, or fraud, duress or undue influence, in connection with the negotiation, execution or delivery of the Deposit Agreement, and the conduct of all parties to the Deposit Agreement has complied with any requirements of good faith, fair dealing and conscionability, and (vi) there are and have been no agreements or understandings among the parties, written or oral, and there is and has been no usage of trade or course of prior dealing among the parties (and no act or omission of any party) that would, in any such case, define, supplement or qualify the terms of the Deposit Agreement.

This opinion letter is based as to matters of law solely on the applicable provisions of the following, as currently in effect: (i) as to the opinion given in paragraph (a), the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law of 1988 (the “BCL”), and (ii) as to the opinion given in paragraph (b), the laws of the state of New York (but not including any laws, statutes, ordinances, administrative decisions, rules or regulations of any political subdivision of New York). We express no opinion herein as to any other statutes, rules or regulations.

Based upon, subject to and limited by the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

(a) The Preferred Stock, upon receipt by the Company of the consideration for the Preferred Stock specified in resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Pricing Committee thereof, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable.

(b) The depositary receipts evidencing the Depositary Shares, upon due issuance against a deposit of the Preferred Stock in accordance with the certain Deposit Agreement, dated as of August 25, 2020, between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, as depositary, will be validly issued and entitle the holders thereof to the rights specified in such depositary receipts and Deposit Agreement.
