Preferred Stock

On December 19, 2008, Mid Penn entered into and closed a Letter Agreement with the United States Department of the Treasury (the "Treasury") pursuant to which the Treasury invested $10,000,000 in the Corporation under the Treasury's Capital Purchase Program (the "CPP").

Under the CPP, the Treasury received (1) 10,000 shares of Series A Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, $1,000 liquidation preference, and (2) Warrants to purchase up to 73,099 shares of the Corporation's common stock at an exercise price of $20.52 per share. The $10,000,000 in new capital is treated as Tier 1 Capital.

The Series A Preferred Stock pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per annum for the first five years and 9% per annum thereafter. Pursuant to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the Secretary of the Treasury shall permit, subject to consultation with the appropriate Federal banking agency, the Corporation to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock. The Corporation may do so without regard to the source of the funds to be used to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock or any minimum waiting period. If the Corporation elects to redeem the Series A Preferred Stock prior to February 15, 2012, and receives approval from the Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, it must redeem at least $2,500,000 of the Series A Preferred Stock. Upon redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock, the Secretary of the Treasury shall liquidate the warrants associated with the Corporation's participation in the CPP at the current market price. Upon the appropriate approval, the Corporation may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock at the original purchase price plus accrued but unpaid dividends, if any. The related Warrants expire in ten years and are immediately exercisable upon their issuance.

To participate in the program, the Corporation is required to meet certain standards, including; (1) ensuring that incentive compensation for senior executives does not encourage unnecessary and excessive risk that threaten the value of the Corporation; (2) requiring a clawback of any bonus or incentive compensation paid to a senior executive based on statements of earnings, gains or other criteria that are later proven to be materially inaccurate; (3) prohibiting the Corporation from making any golden parachute payment to a senior executive based on applicable Internal Revenue Code provisions; and (4) agreeing not to deduct for tax purposes executive compensation in excess of $500,000 for each senior executive.

Based on the Program term sheet provided by the Treasury, the following are the effects on holders of common stock from the issuance of Senior Preferred stock to the Treasury under the Program:

Restrictions on Dividends

For as long as any Senior Preferred shares are outstanding, no dividends can be declared or paid on common shares, nor can Mid Penn repurchase or redeem any common shares, unless all accrued and unpaid dividends for all past dividend periods on the Senior Preferred shares have been fully paid. In addition, the consent of the Treasury is required for any increase in the per share dividends on common shares until the third anniversary of the date of the Senior Preferred investment unless prior to such third anniversary, the Senior Preferred shares have been redeemed in whole or the Treasury has transferred all of the Senior Preferred shares to third parties.

Repurchases

The Treasury's consent would be required for any share repurchases (other than (1) repurchases of the Senior Preferred shares and (2) repurchases of common shares in connection with any benefit plan in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice) until the third anniversary of the date of this investment unless prior to such third anniversary the Senior Preferred shares had been redeemed in whole or the Treasury had transferred all of the Senior Preferred shares to third parties. In addition, there could be no share repurchases of common shares if prohibited as described under "Restrictions on Dividends" above.

Voting Rights

The Senior Preferred shares would be non-voting, other than class voting rights on (1) any authorization or issuance of shares ranking senior to the Senior Preferred shares, (2) any amendment to the rights of senior Preferred, or (3) any merger, exchange or similar transaction which would adversely affect the rights of the Senior Preferred. If dividends on the Senior Preferred shares were not paid in full for six dividend periods, whether or not consecutive, the Senior Preferred shareholder(s) would have the right to elect two directors. The right to elect directors would end when full dividends had been paid for four consecutive dividend periods.
