&lt;p style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt;" size="2"&gt;On January&amp;#160;16, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the United States Department of Treasury (the &amp;#8220;Treasury Department&amp;#8221;) as part of the Treasury Department&amp;#8217;s Capital Purchase Program. Under this agreement, the Company issued to the Treasury Department 57,000 shares of Fixed Rate Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series&amp;#160;A (&amp;#8220;preferred stock&amp;#8221;), having a liquidation amount per share of $1,000, for a total price of $57&amp;#160;million and a warrant (Warrant&amp;#8221;) to purchase up to 571,906 shares of the Company&amp;#8217;s common stock, at an initial per share exercise price of $14.95, for an aggregate purchase price of $8,550.&amp;#160; On June&amp;#160;6, 2013, the Treasury Dept. announced it had completed an auction to sell the Warrant in a private transaction.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style="TEXT-INDENT: 0.5in; MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; FONT-SIZE: 10pt;" size="2"&gt;The preferred stock pays cumulative dividends at a rate of 5% per year for the first five years and 9% per year thereafter. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on February&amp;#160;15, May&amp;#160;15, August&amp;#160;15 and November&amp;#160;15 of each year. The Company may, at its option and at any time, redeem the preferred stock for the liquidation amount of $1,000 per share, plus any accrued and unpaid dividends. While the preferred stock is outstanding, the Company may only pay dividends on common stock if all accrued and unpaid dividends for the preferred stock have been paid.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
