SUBSCRIPTION AGENT AGREEMENT February 11, 2008

1.

Rights Offering — The Company is offering (the “Rights Offering”) to the holders of shares of its Common Stock, without par value (the “Common Stock”), as of February 14, 2008 (the “Record Date”), the right (the “Right(s)”) to subscribe for additional shares of Common Stock. Except as set forth below, Rights shall cease to be exercisable at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 13, 2008 or such later date of which the Company notifies you orally and confirms in writing (the “Expiration Date”). Each Right entitles the Company’s shareholders to purchase 0.222131 of a share of Common Stock at the subscription price of $11.25 per whole share (the “Subscription Price”). Rights are evidenced by non-transferable rights certificates in registered form (the “Rights Certificate(s)”). The Rights Offering will be conducted in the manner and upon the terms set forth in the Company’s preliminary prospectus dated on or about February 7, 2008 (the “Prospectus”), which is incorporated herein by reference and made a part hereof as if set forth in full herein. The Rights are exercisable beginning on the date the Prospectus is filed in final form with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Final Prospectus”) and will expire if they are not exercised by 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. We may extend the period for exercising Rights in our sole discretion.
