ANNEX 1

CALCULATION OF PRESENT VALUE PURCHASE PRICE

The Present Value Purchase Price shall be calculated as the sum of: (1) the Present Value Amount (as defined below) plus (2) accrued and unpaid dividends to (but excluding) the Closing Date. The Present Value Purchase Price shall be calculated by Treasury.

The “Present Value Amount” means the amount calculated using the following formula, with parameters as defined as follows:

Present Value Amount = (Dividend Rate ÷ Cost of Equity) * Aggregate Liquidation Value

“Dividend Rate” means the dividend rate on the ECIP Securities at the Reset Date immediately preceding the Closing Date.

“Aggregate Liquidation Value” is equal to the Liquidation Amount per share of the ECIP Securities multiplied by the number of shares of the ECIP Securities.

“Cost of Equity” is calculated using the following formula, with parameters as defined as follows:

Cost of Equity = RFR + 𝛽(Equity Risk Premium)

“RFR” means the higher of: (i) the prevailing ▇▇▇▇▇-recommended U.S. normalized risk-free rate, available at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇- equity-risk-premium-and-corresponding-risk-free-rates, or if such rate is not available, an alternative rate selected by Treasury in its sole discretion; or (ii) the spot yield on 20-year U.S. Treasury bonds, based on the Daily Treasury Par Yield Curve Rates available on Treasury’s website, or if such source of this data point is not available, an alternative source of this data point selected by Treasury in its sole discretion, as of three Business Days before the Closing Date.

“β” equals 0.5.

“Equity Risk Premium” means the ▇▇▇▇▇-recommended U.S. Equity Risk Premium as of three Business Days before the Closing Date, available at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇▇/▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇- premium-and-corresponding-risk-free-rates, or if such data point is not available, an alternative data point selected by Treasury in its sole discretion.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT

Reference is made to the ECIP Securities Purchase Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated [●], by and between the United States Department of the Treasury (“Treasury”) and [●] (the “Recipient”) [(as supplemented by the Joinder Agreement dated as of [●]) executed by [●] (the “Purchaser”) and acknowledged and accepted by the Recipient]. This Closing Acknowledgment and Agreement (the “Acknowledgment”) is being delivered by the Recipient [and the Purchaser] in connection with the consummation of the Recipient’s exercise of the Option. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Acknowledgement will have the meaning set forth in the Agreement and the Joinder Agreement.

1.Closing. The Closing Date of the Securities Disposition and the date of this Acknowledgment is [●].

2.Bring Down. All representations and warranties made by Recipient in the Agreement are true and correct as of the date of this Acknowledgment. All representations and warranties made by Purchaser in any Joinder are true and correct as of the date of this Acknowledgment.

5.Maintenance of Insured CDFI Status by Recipient. If the Treasury Disposition Consideration is the De Minimis Purchase Price, in accordance with Section 2.04(B)(v) of the Agreement, please indicate whether the Insured CDFI has maintained its status as an Insured CDFI as set forth in such Section or commits to maintain its CDFI certification as set forth in such Section, by checking the following applicable box below:

☐ The Recipient has satisfied the requirement to maintain Insured CDFI status as set forth in Section 2.04(B)(v).

☐ The Recipient has not satisfied the requirement to maintain Insured CDFI status as set forth in Section 2.04(B)(v) but agrees that it will maintain Insured CDFI status after the Closing for the period set forth the Section 2.04(B)(v) and further agrees that if it does not satisfy such requirement that the Recipient shall promptly pay to Treasury $[●], which is the difference between the Present Value Purchase Price and the De Minimis Purchase Price as of the Closing Date.

6.Mission Aligned Nonprofit Affiliate Holding Period.

(a)If the Purchaser is a Mission Aligned Nonprofit Affiliate that is acquiring the ECIP Securities at the De Minimis Purchase Price, each of the Purchaser and Recipient shall deliver to Treasury a certification within thirty days following each of the first three anniversaries of the Closing Date that, as applicable, the Purchaser (i) continues to hold, has not sold or otherwise disposed of the ECIP Securities, and has not engaged in any transaction that would constitute a Deemed Exchange, or (ii) fails to continue to hold and has sold or otherwise disposed of the ECIP Securities, or has engaged in any transaction that would constitute a Deemed Exchange.

If the Recipient or the Purchaser violates the terms of this Section 6(b), the Purchaser shall promptly pay Treasury, as liquidated damages, the Present Value Make Whole Amount calculated in accordance with Section 6(d) with the “consideration received by the Mission Aligned Nonprofit Affiliate” deemed to be the amount of the De Minimis Purchase Price.

(c)If the Purchaser is a Mission Aligned Nonprofit Affiliate that is acquiring the ECIP Securities at the De Minimis Purchase Price but thereafter sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of the ECIP Securities for consideration less than the Present Value Purchase Price, at any time within three (3) years following the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall promptly pay Treasury the Present Value Make Whole Amount calculated in accordance with Section 6(d).

(d)The Present Value Make Whole Amount shall be the difference between the Present Value Purchase Price and the consideration received by the Mission Aligned Nonprofit Affiliate (the “Present Value Make Whole Amount”). For the purposes of this Section 6, the Present Value Purchase Price shall be calculated in accordance with Annex 1 of the Agreement as of the date of the Deemed Exchange or the sale or transfer of or other disposition of the ECIP Securities by the Mission Aligned Nonprofit Affiliate, but the “Closing Date” referred to in such Annex 1 shall be the date of the consummation of the, as applicable, Deemed Exchange or sale, transfer or other disposition of the ECIP Securities.

7.[Repurchase of ECIP Securities by Recipient. As of the Closing Date, no third party has executed a Joinder Agreement to the Agreement, and the Recipient intends to repurchase the ECIP Securities from Treasury. All references to the “Purchaser” in the Agreement shall refer to the Recipient. Further, in connection with such repurchase, the Recipient makes the following additional reps and warranties to Treasury:

The Purchaser also represents that it maintains policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with applicable sanctions administered by the United States, the European Union, or any individual European Union member state, or the United Kingdom.]5

8.ECIP Securities Terms. The Recipient and the Purchaser each acknowledge that the terms of the ECIP Securities will continue to apply following the Closing.

In addition, the Recipient hereby covenants and agrees with Treasury that Sections 4.1(d)(i), 4.1(d)(ii), 4.1(g)(ii), 4.1(g)(v), 4.1(g)(vi), and 4.1(g)(vii) of the Original Securities Purchase Agreement will continue to apply following the Closing.

10.ECIP Interim Final Rule. The Recipient hereby covenants and agrees with Treasury that for the period through the end of the ECIP Period it shall comply and take all necessary action to ensure that any Recipient Subsidiary complies, in all respects with the requirements set forth in the ECIP Interim Final Rule, including following the Closing.
