exchange 4.375% <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Fixed-to-Floating</FONT></FONT> Rate Subordinated Notes due 2030 that have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities
Act&#148;), which we refer to in this prospectus as the &#147;New Notes,&#148; for any and all of our outstanding unregistered 4.375% <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Fixed-to-Floating</FONT></FONT> Rate Subordinated
Notes due 2030 that we issued in a private placement on October&nbsp;7,&nbsp;2020, which we refer to in this prospectus as the &#147;Old Notes.&#148; We are making this offer to exchange the New Notes for the Old Notes to satisfy our obligations
under a registration rights agreement that we entered into with the purchasers of the Old Notes in connection with our issuance of the Old Notes to those purchasers (the &#147;registration rights agreement&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will not receive any cash proceeds from the exchange offer. The issuance of the New Notes in exchange for the Old Notes will not result in any increase in
our outstanding indebtedness. The Old Notes that are not exchanged for New Notes in the exchange offer will remain outstanding. The exchange offer is not subject to any minimum tender condition, but is subject to certain customary conditions. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Subject to the terms of the exchange offer, following the expiration or termination of the exchange offer, we will exchange the Old Notes that have been
validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to such expiration or termination for an equal principal amount of New Notes. The terms of the New Notes are identical in all material respects to the terms of the Old Notes, except that: the New
Notes have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) under the Securities Act and, as a result, will not bear any legend restricting their transfer; the New Notes bear different CUSIP numbers from the Old
Notes; the New Notes are generally not subject to transfer restrictions; holders of the New Notes are not entitled to registration rights under the registration rights agreement; and because the holders of the New Notes are not entitled to
registration rights, holders of the New Notes will not have the right to additional interest under the circumstances described in the registration rights agreement relating to our fulfillment of our registration obligations. The New Notes evidence
the same debt as the Old Notes and are governed by the same indenture under which the Old Notes were issued. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">There is no existing public market for the
Old Notes or the New Notes, and we do not expect any public market to develop in the future for either the Old Notes or the New Notes. The Old Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange or quotation system, and we do not intend to list
the New Notes on any national securities exchange or quotation system. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:8.5pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender of
Old Notes at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; , 2021. We will exchange all of the outstanding
Old Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the exchange offer for an equal principal amount of New Notes. </P>

</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a financial holding company headquartered in New York State, providing diversified financial services through our subsidiaries, Five Star Bank
(the &#147;Bank&#148;), SDN Insurance Agency, LLC (&#147;SDN&#148;), Courier Capital, LLC (&#147;Courier Capital&#148;) and HNP Capital, LLC (&#147;HNP Capital&#148;). We offer a broad array of deposit, lending and other financial services to
individuals, municipalities and businesses in Western and Central New York through our wholly-owned New York-chartered banking subsidiary, the Bank. Our indirect lending network includes relationships with franchised automobile dealers in Western
and Central New York, the Capital District of New York and Northern and Central Pennsylvania. SDN provides a broad range of insurance services to personal and business clients. Courier Capital and HNP Capital provide customized investment advice,
wealth management, investment consulting and retirement plan services to individuals, businesses, institutions, foundations and retirement plans. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our
primary sources of revenue are net interest income (interest earned on our loans and securities, net of interest paid on deposits and other funding sources) and noninterest income, particularly fees and other revenue from insurance, investment
advisory and financial services provided to customers or ancillary services tied to loans and deposits.&nbsp;Business volumes and pricing drive revenue potential, and tend to be influenced by overall economic factors, including market interest
rates, business spending, consumer confidence, economic growth, and competitive conditions within the marketplace. We are not able to predict market interest rate fluctuations with certainty and our asset/liability management strategy may not
prevent interest rate changes from having a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our business strategy has been
to maintain a community bank philosophy, which consists of focusing on and understanding the individualized banking and other financial needs of individuals, municipalities and businesses of the local communities surrounding our primary service
area. We believe this focus allows us to be more responsive to our customers&#146; needs and provide a high level of personal service that differentiates us from larger competitors, resulting in long-standing and broad-based banking relationships.
Our core customers are primarily small- to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">medium-sized</FONT> businesses, individuals and community organizations who prefer to build banking, insurance and wealth management relationships with a community bank that
combines high quality, competitively-priced products and services with personalized service. Because of our identity and origin as a locally operated bank, we believe that our level of personal service provides a competitive advantage over larger
banks, which tend to consolidate decision-making authority outside local communities. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">A key aspect of our current business strategy is to foster a
community-oriented culture where our customers and employees establish long-standing and mutually beneficial relationships. We believe that we are well-positioned to be a strong competitor within our market area because of our focus on community
banking needs and customer service, our comprehensive suite of deposit, loan, insurance and wealth management products typically found at larger banks, our highly experienced management team and our strategically located banking centers.&nbsp;We
have evolved to meet changing customer needs by opening what we refer to as financial solution center branches.&nbsp;These financial solution center&nbsp;branches have a smaller footprint than our traditional branches, focus on technology to provide
solutions that fit our customer preferences for transacting business with us, and are staffed by certified personal bankers who are trained to meet a broad array of customer needs. In recent years, we have opened four financial solution centers in
the Rochester and Buffalo markets.&nbsp;We believe that the foregoing factors all help to grow our core deposits, which supports a central element of our business strategy - the growth of a diversified and high-quality loan&nbsp;portfolio. </P>

will only issue New Notes in exchange for Old Notes that you timely and validly tender in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer. Therefore, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery of the Old Notes, and you should
carefully follow the instructions on how to tender your Old Notes. Although we intend to request the exchange agent to notify holders of defects or irregularities relating to tenders and withdrawals of Old Notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor
any other person will have any duty to give or incur any liability for failure to give such notification. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If you do not exchange your Old Notes for New
Notes in the exchange offer, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of your Old Notes described in the legend on the global notes for the Old Notes. The restrictions on transfer of the Old Notes arose because we issued the
Old Notes in a private placement exempt from the registration requirements under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. In general, you may only offer or sell the Old Notes if they are registered under the Securities Act and
applicable state securities laws, or you offer and sell under an exemption from these requirements. We do not plan to register any sale of the Old Notes under the Securities Act. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The tender of Old Notes under the exchange offer will reduce the principal amount of the Old Notes outstanding, which may have an adverse effect upon, and
increase the volatility of, the market price of the Old Notes due to a reduction in liquidity, if any such market develops. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>You may not receive New

if you validly tender and do not validly withdraw your Old Notes before expiration of the exchange offer. Although we intend to request the exchange agent to notify holders of defects or irregularities relating to tenders and withdrawals of Old
Notes, neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will have any duty to give or incur any liability for failure to give such notification. If you are the beneficial holder of Old Notes that are held through a broker, dealer, commercial
bank, trust company or other nominee, and you wish to tender such Old Notes in the exchange offer, you should promptly contact the person through whom your Old Notes are held and instruct that person to tender your Old Notes on your behalf in
accordance with the procedures described in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal. </P>

received from other sources, we have no control over its determination, calculation or publication. There can be no assurance that SOFR will not be discontinued or fundamentally altered in a manner that is materially adverse to the interests of
investors in the SOFR-linked notes. If the manner in which SOFR is calculated is changed, that change may result in a change in the amount of interest that accrues on the SOFR-linked notes, which may adversely affect the trading prices of the
SOFR-linked notes. In addition, the interest rate on the SOFR-linked notes for any day will not be adjusted for any modification or amendment to SOFR for that day that FRBNY may publish if the interest rate for that day has already been determined
prior to such publication. Further, if the Benchmark rate on the SOFR-linked notes during the floating rate period for any interest period declines to zero or becomes negative, interest will only accrue on the SOFR-linked notes at a rate equal to
the spread of 4.265% per annum with respect to that interest period. There is no assurance that changes in SOFR could not have a material adverse effect on the yield on, value of and market for the SOFR-linked notes. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:5pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">SOFR may fail to gain market acceptance. SOFR was developed for use in certain U.S. dollar derivatives and other financial contracts as an alternative to U.S.
dollar LIBOR in part because it is considered to be a good representation of general funding conditions in the overnight U.S. Treasury repo market. However, as a rate based on transactions secured by U.S. Treasury securities, it does not measure
bank-specific credit risk and, as a result, is less likely to correlate with the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks. This may mean that market participants would not consider SOFR to be a suitable substitute or successor for all of the
purposes for which U.S. dollar LIBOR historically has been used (including, without limitation, as a representation of the unsecured short-term funding costs of banks), which may, in turn, lessen its market acceptance. Any failure of SOFR to gain
market acceptance could adversely affect the return on, value of and market for the SOFR-linked notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Any market for the SOFR-linked notes may be
illiquid or unpredictable. </B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:5pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Since SOFR is a relatively new market index, SOFR-linked debt securities likely will have no established trading market
when issued, and an established trading market for the SOFR-linked notes may never develop or may not be very liquid. Market terms for securities that are linked to SOFR, such as the spread over the base rate reflected in the interest rate
provisions, may evolve over time, and as a result, trading prices of the SOFR-linked notes may be lower than those of later-issued securities that are linked to SOFR. Similarly, if SOFR does not prove to be widely used in securities that are similar
or comparable to the SOFR-linked notes, the trading price of the SOFR-linked notes may be lower than those of securities that are linked to rates that are more widely used. You may not be able to sell the SOFR-linked notes at all or may not be able
to sell the SOFR-linked notes at prices that will provide you with a yield comparable to similar investments that have a developed secondary market, and may consequently suffer from increased pricing volatility and market risk. The manner of
adoption or application of reference rates based on SOFR in the bond and equity markets may differ materially compared with the application and adoption of SOFR in other markets, such as the derivatives and loan markets. You should carefully
consider how any potential inconsistencies between the adoption of reference rates based on SOFR across these markets may impact any hedging or other financial arrangements which you may put in place in connection with any acquisition, holding or
disposal of the SOFR-linked notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The interest rate for the notes during the floating rate period may be determined based on a rate other than

SOFR, the development of a forward-looking term rate for a tenor of three months based on SOFR that has been recommended or selected by the Relevant Governmental Body is not complete or the calculation agent determines that the use of a

administrative or operational matters that it decides may be appropriate to reflect the use of Three-Month Term SOFR as the interest rate basis for the notes in a manner substantially consistent with market practice, which are defined in the terms
of the indenture as &#147;Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions.&#148; For example, assuming that a form of Three-Month Term SOFR is developed, it is not currently known how or by whom rates for Three-Month Term SOFR will be published. Accordingly, the
calculation agent will need to determine the applicable Three-Month Term SOFR during the floating rate period. The calculation agent&#146;s determination and implementation of any Three-Month Term SOFR Conventions could result in adverse
consequences to the amount of interest that accrues on the notes during the floating rate period, which could adversely affect the return on, value of and market for the notes. </P>

Replacement Date have occurred with respect to Three-Month Term SOFR, then the interest rate on the notes during the floating rate period will be determined using the next-available Benchmark Replacement (which may include a related Benchmark
Replacement Adjustment). However, the Benchmark Replacement may not be the economic equivalent of Three-Month Term SOFR. For example, Compounded SOFR, the first available Benchmark Replacement, is the compounded average of the daily Secured
Overnight Financing Rates calculated in arrears, while Three-Month Term SOFR is intended to be a forward-looking rate with a tenor of three months. In addition, very limited market precedent exists for securities that use Compounded SOFR as the rate
basis, and the method for calculating Compounded SOFR in those precedents varies. Further, the ISDA Fallback Rate, which is another Benchmark Replacement, has not yet been established and may change over time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The implementation of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes could adversely affect the amount of interest that accrues on the notes and the trading

Adjustment cannot be determined, then the next-available Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Adjustment will apply. These replacement rates and adjustments may be selected or formulated by (i)&nbsp;the Relevant Governmental Body (such as
the ARRC), (ii) ISDA or (iii)&nbsp;in certain circumstances, the calculation agent. In addition, the benchmark transition provisions expressly authorize the calculation agent to make certain changes, which are defined in the terms of the indenture
as &#147;Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes,&#148; with respect to, among other things, the determination of interest periods, and the timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest. The application of a Benchmark
Replacement and Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, and any implementation of Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes, could result in adverse consequences to the amount of interest that accrues on the notes during the floating rate period, which
could adversely affect the return on, value of and market for the notes. Further, there is no assurance that the characteristics of any Benchmark Replacement will be similar to the then-current Benchmark that it is replacing, or that any Benchmark

extent that such approval is then required under applicable laws or regulations, including capital regulations, we may redeem the notes in whole but not in part upon the occurrence of (i)&nbsp;a &#147;Tier 2 Capital Event,&#148; (ii) a &#147;Tax
Event&#148; or (iii)&nbsp;an &#147;Investment Company Event&#148;. In the event that we redeem the notes, holders of the notes will receive only the principal amount of the notes plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such
redemption date. If any redemption occurs, holders of the notes will not have the opportunity to continue to accrue and be paid interest to the Maturity Date. Any such redemption may have the effect of reducing the income or return that you may
receive on an investment in the notes by reducing the term of the investment. If this occurs, you may not be able to reinvest the proceeds at an interest rate comparable to the rate paid on the notes. </P>

the future performance of our operating subsidiaries, primarily the Bank. Prevailing economic conditions (including interest rates), regulatory constraints, including, among other things, limiting distributions to us from the Bank and required
capital levels with respect to the Bank and certain of our nonbank subsidiaries, and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, will also affect our ability to meet these needs. Our subsidiaries may not be able to
generate sufficient cash flows from operations, or we may be unable to obtain future borrowings in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debt, or to fund our other liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our debt on or
before maturity. We may not be able to refinance any of our debt when needed on commercially reasonable terms or at all. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Regulatory guidelines may

regarding capital adequacy. We intend to treat the notes as &#147;Tier 2 capital&#148; under these rules and guidelines. The Federal Reserve guidelines generally require us to review the effects of the cash payment of Tier 2 capital instruments,
such as the notes, on our overall financial condition. The guidelines also require that we review our net income for the current and past four quarters, and the amounts we have paid on Tier 2 capital instruments for those periods, as well as our
projected rate of earnings retention. Moreover, pursuant to federal law and the Federal Reserve regulations, as a financial holding company, we are required to act as a source of financial and managerial strength to the Bank and commit resources to
its support, including the guarantee of its capital plans if it becomes undercapitalized. Such support may be required at times when we may not otherwise be inclined or able to provide it. As a result of the foregoing, we may be unable to pay
accrued interest on the notes on one or more of the scheduled interest payment dates, or at any other time, or the principal of the notes at the maturity of the notes. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The notes are a new issue of securities for which there is no established trading market, and we do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on any
securities exchange or for quotation of the notes on a quotation system following registration of the notes pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement. In addition, the liquidity of any trading market for the notes, if any, will
depend upon, among other things, the number of holders of the notes, our performance and prospects, the market for similar securities, the interest of securities dealers in making a market in the notes and other factors. As a result, we cannot
provide you with any assurance regarding whether a trading market for the notes will develop or the ability of holders of the notes to sell their notes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Even, if a market develops for the notes, the prices at which holders may be able to sell their notes may be affected, potentially adversely, by a number of
factors. These factors include: the method of calculating the principal, premium, if any, interest or other amounts payable, if any, on the notes; the time remaining to maturity of the notes; the ranking of the notes; the aggregate amount
outstanding of the notes; any redemption or repayment features of the notes; any changes in the ratings on the notes provided by any rating agency; the prevailing interest rates being paid by other companies similar to us; the level, direction, and
volatility of market interest rates generally; general economic conditions of the capital markets in the United States; geopolitical conditions and other financial, political, regulatory, and judicial events that affect the capital markets
generally; the extent of any market-making activities, if any, with respect to the notes; and the operating performance of us and our subsidiaries, including the Bank. As a result of these factors, holders of the notes face a risk that the market
value of the notes may be less than the principal amount of the notes. Often, the only way to liquidate your investment in the notes prior to maturity will be to sell the notes. At that time, there may be a very illiquid market for the notes or no
market at all. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Our credit ratings may not reflect all risks of an investment in the notes, and changes in our credit ratings may adversely affect your

ratings are not recommendations to purchase, hold or sell the notes, inasmuch as the ratings do not comment as to market price or suitability for a particular investor, are limited in scope, and do not address all material risks relating to an
investment in the notes, but rather reflect only the view of each rating agency at the time the rating is issued. The ratings are based on current and historical information furnished to the rating agencies by us and information obtained by the
rating agencies from other sources. An explanation of the significance of such rating may be obtained from such rating agency. There can be no assurance that such credit ratings will remain in effect for any given period of time, or that such
ratings will not be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the rating agencies, if, in each rating agency&#146;s judgment, circumstances so warrant. </P>

advisors as to the risks entailed in an investment in the notes and the suitability of investing in the notes in light of your particular circumstances. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Investors should not rely on indicative or historical data concerning SOFR. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">SOFR is intended to be a broad measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities. FRBNY reports that SOFR includes
all trades in the Broad General Collateral Rate, plus bilateral U.S. Treasury repurchase agreement (&#147;repo&#148;) transactions cleared through the delivery-versus-payment service offered by the Fixed Income Clearing Corporation (the
&#147;FICC&#148;), a subsidiary of The Depository Trust&nbsp;&amp; Clearing Corporation (&#147;DTCC&#148;). SOFR is filtered by FRBNY to remove a portion of the foregoing transactions considered to be &#147;specials&#148;. According to FRBNY,
&#147;specials&#148; are repos for specific-issue collateral which take place at cash-lending rates below those for general collateral repos because cash providers are willing to accept a lesser return on their cash in order to obtain a particular
security. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">FRBNY reports that SOFR is calculated as a volume-weighted median of transaction-level <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tri-party</FONT> repo
data collected from The Bank of New York Mellon, which currently acts as the clearing bank for the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tri-party</FONT> repo market, as well as General Collateral Finance Repo transaction data and data on bilateral U.S.
Treasury repo transactions cleared through the FICC&#146;s delivery-versus-payment service. FRBNY states that it obtains information from DTCC Solutions LLC, an affiliate of DTCC. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">FRBNY currently publishes SOFR daily on its website at<I>&nbsp;https://apps.newyorkfed.org/markets/autorates/sofr</I>. FRBNY states on its publication
page&nbsp;for the Secured Overnight </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Financing Rate that use of SOFR is subject to important disclaimers, limitations and indemnification obligations,
including that FRBNY may alter the methods of calculation, publication schedule, rate revision practices or availability of SOFR at any time without notice. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">FRBNY started publishing SOFR in April&nbsp;2018. FRBNY has also started publishing historical indicative Secured Overnight Financing Rates dating back to
2014, although such historical indicative data inherently involves assumptions, estimates and approximations. Investors should not rely on such historical indicative data or on any historical changes or trends in SOFR as an indicator of the future
performance of SOFR. Since the initial publication of SOFR, daily changes in the rate have, on occasion, been more volatile than daily changes in comparable benchmark or market rates, and SOFR over time may bear little or no relation to the
historical actual or historical indicative data. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>SOFR differs fundamentally from, and may not be a comparable substitute for, U.S. dollar LIBOR.
</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In June 2017, the ARRC, convened by the Federal Reserve and FRBNY announced SOFR as its recommended alternative to the London interbank offered rate
for U.S. dollar obligations, or U.S. dollar LIBOR. However, because SOFR is a broad U.S. Treasury repo financing rate that represents overnight secured funding transactions, it differs fundamentally from U.S. dollar LIBOR. For example, SOFR is a
secured overnight rate, while U.S. dollar LIBOR is an unsecured rate that represents interbank funding over different maturities. In addition, because SOFR is a transaction-based rate, it is backward-looking, whereas U.S. dollar LIBOR is
forward-looking. Because of these and other differences, there can be no assurance that SOFR will perform in the same way as U.S. dollar LIBOR would have done at any time, and there is no guarantee that it is a comparable substitute for U.S. dollar
LIBOR. </P>

of its participants. Participants include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations and may include certain other organizations. Certain of such participants (or their representatives), together with other
entities, own DTC. Indirect access to the DTC system is available to other entities such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant, either directly or indirectly. The

&#147;conflicting interest&#148; (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act), it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days and apply to the SEC for permission to continue or resign. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes will have the right to direct the time, place and method of conducting any
proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or to exercise any trust or power conferred on the trustee, subject to certain exceptions. If an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the trustee will exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by the indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person&#146;s own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the
trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the indenture at the request or direction of any holder under the indenture, unless such holder has offered, and if requested, provided to the trustee
security or indemnity satisfactory to the trustee against the losses, liabilities and expenses that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction. </P>

</B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following is a summary of certain material United States federal income tax considerations of the exchange of outstanding Old Notes for New Notes
in the exchange offer. It is not a complete analysis of all the potential tax considerations relating to the exchange of outstanding Old Notes for New Notes. This discussion is based upon the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, or the Code, existing and proposed regulations under the Code and any administrative and judicial interpretations thereof and rulings thereunder, all as currently in effect. These authorities are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive
basis, and subject to differing interpretations. We cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, will not challenge one or more of the tax consequences described in this prospectus, and we have not obtained, and do not intend to
obtain, a ruling from the IRS with respect to the United States federal income tax consequences described herein. Furthermore, this discussion does not address the tax considerations arising under the laws of any foreign, state or local jurisdiction
or any United States federal <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-income</FONT> tax consequences of the exchange of Old Notes for New Notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This
discussion is limited to the United States federal income tax consequences applicable to holders that purchased their Old Notes from us in a private placement on October&nbsp;7, 2020 at the offering price and who held such Old Notes, and will now
hold the New Notes, as &#147;capital assets&#148; within the meaning of Section&nbsp;1221 of the Code. This discussion does not address all United States federal income tax considerations that may be applicable to each holder&#146;s particular
circumstances or to holders that may be subject to special tax rules under United States federal income tax laws, including, but not limited to, banks, insurance companies, thrifts, other financial institutions, mutual funds, grantor trusts,
regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-exempt</FONT> organizations, brokers, dealers or traders in securities, commodities or currencies, United States expatriates, corporations treated as
&#147;personal holding companies,&#148; subchapter S corporations, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, persons subject to the alternative minimum tax, traders in securities that elect to use a <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">mark-to-market</FONT></FONT> method of accounting for their securities holdings, United States holders whose functional currency is not the United States dollar, persons that will hold the
New Notes as a position in a hedging transaction, straddle or conversion transaction or as part of a &#147;synthetic security,&#148; other integrated transactions or risk reduction transaction, persons deemed to sell the Old Notes under the
constructive sale provisions of the Code, an accrual method taxpayer who is required to recognize income for United States federal income tax purposes no later than when such income is taken into account for financial accounting purposes, a person
that purchases or sells notes as part of a wash sale for tax purposes, or entities or arrangements classified as partnerships for United States federal income tax purposes or other pass-through entities, or investors in such entities. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If a partnership (or other entity classified as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes) holds Old Notes, the tax treatment of a partner
generally will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. A partner and the partnership holding the Old Notes should consult their tax advisors regarding the tax considerations to them of exchanging Old Notes for
New Notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Exchange Offer </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe that the
exchange of Old Notes for New Notes in the exchange offer will not constitute a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes. Consequently, we believe that (i)&nbsp;a holder of Old Notes will not recognize gain or loss upon the
receipt of New Notes in the exchange offer, (ii)&nbsp;a holder&#146;s basis in the New Notes received in the exchange offer will be the same as such holder&#146;s basis in the Old Notes surrendered in exchange therefor immediately before the
exchange, and (iii)&nbsp;a holder&#146;s holding period in the New Notes will include such holder&#146;s holding period in the Old Notes surrendered in exchange therefor. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>THIS DISCUSSION OF THESE CERTAIN MATERIAL UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS IS FOR GENERAL INFORMATION ONLY AND MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE,
DEPENDING UPON A HOLDER&#146;S PARTICULAR SITUATION. HOLDERS OF OLD NOTES CONSIDERING THE EXCHANGE OFFER ARE URGED TO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS WITH RESPECT TO THE TAX CONSEQUENCES TO THEM OF EXCHANGING OLD NOTES FOR NEW NOTES, INCLUDING THE
TAX CONSEQUENCES UNDER STATE, LOCAL, ESTATE, FOREIGN, AND OTHER TAX LAWS AND THE POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF CHANGES IN UNITED STATES OR OTHER TAX LAWS.</B> </P>

instructions in the letter of transmittal. We will make additional copies of this prospectus, and any amendments or supplements hereto, available to any such broker-dealer that so requests in accordance with the instructions in the letter of

resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any New Notes. Any broker-dealer that holds Old
Notes acquired for its own account as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities and receives New Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and resells such New Notes and any broker-dealer that participates in a
distribution of such New Notes may be a statutory &#147;underwriter&#148; within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any profit on any such resale of New Notes and any commission or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be
underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with the resale of any such
New Notes, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an &#147;underwriter&#148; within the meaning of the Securities Act. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We will promptly

<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the NYBCL, we have broad powers to indemnify our directors, officers and other employees. The applicable sections of the NYBCL: (i)&nbsp;provide that
the statutory indemnification and advancement of expenses provision of the NYBCL are not exclusive, provided that no indemnification may be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the
director or officer establishes that his acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active and deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action is adjudicated, or that he personally gained in fact a financial profit or
other advantage to which he was not legally entitled; (ii)&nbsp;establish procedures for indemnification and advancement of expenses that may be contained in the certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or, when authorized by either of the foregoing,
set forth in a resolution of the shareholders or directors of an agreement providing for indemnification and advancement of expenses; (iii)&nbsp;apply a single standard for statutory indemnification for third-party and derivative suits by providing
that indemnification is available if the director or officer acted in good faith, for a purpose which he reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the corporation, and, in criminal actions, had no reasonable cause to believe that his
conduct was unlawful; and (iv)&nbsp;permit the advancement of litigation expenses upon receipt of an undertaking to repay such advance if the director or officer is ultimately determined not to be entitled to indemnification or to the extent the
expenses advanced exceed the indemnification to which the director or officer is entitled. The NYBCL permits the purchase of insurance to indemnify a corporation or its officers and directors to the extent permitted. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As permitted by the NYBCL, our Amended and Restated Bylaws, provide that we shall indemnify our officers and directors, as such, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, and that expenses reasonably incurred by any such officer or director in connection with a threatened or actual action or proceeding shall be advanced or promptly reimbursed by us in advance of the final disposition of
such action or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such officer or director to repay such amount if and to the extent that it is ultimately determined that such officer or director is not entitled to indemnification. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Article 7 of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, provides that none of our directors shall be held liable to us or our
shareholders for damages for any breach of duty in his or her capacity as a director unless a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to him or her establishes that (i)&nbsp;his or her acts or omissions were in bad faith or involved intentional
misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (ii)&nbsp;he or she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she as not legally entitled, or (iii)&nbsp;his or her acts violated Section&nbsp;719 of the NYBCL. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers that provides for indemnification rights for those
directors and officers arising out of, or relating to, their service as directors and officers of the Company or where they serve at the request of the Company as an officer, director, representative or other agent at another entity. We have also
purchased insurance policies that provide coverage for our directors and officers in certain situations where we cannot directly indemnify such directors or officers. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling us pursuant to the
foregoing provisions, we have been informed that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is therefore unenforceable. </P>

agent&#146;s message must be received by the Exchange Agent at its address set forth herein on or prior to the Expiration Date, such Old Notes must be transferred pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described in the Prospectus under
&#147;The Exchange Offer&#151;Procedures for Tendering Old Notes&#148; and a book-entry confirmation must be received by the Exchange Agent on or prior to the Expiration Date. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>The method of delivery of all required documents to the Exchange Agent is at the election and risk of the tendering holder and the delivery will be deemed
made only when actually received or confirmed by the Exchange Agent. If delivery is by mail, then registered mail with return receipt requested and proper insurance is advised. However, it is recommended that, instead of delivery by mail, the
tendering holder use an overnight or courier service. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to assure delivery to the Exchange Agent before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. NO REQUIRED DOCUMENT SHOULD BE SENT TO THE
ISSUER. Neither the Issuer nor the Exchange Agent is under any obligation to notify any tendering holder of the Issuer&#146;s acceptance of any tendered Old Notes prior to the Expiration Date. </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">2. <I>Withdrawal.</I> Tenders of Old Notes may be withdrawn at any time on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Expiration Date. For a withdrawal
of tendered Old Notes to be effective, the Exchange Agent must receive on or prior to the Expiration Date a computer-generated notice of withdrawal transmitted on behalf of DTC on behalf of the holder in accordance with DTC&#146;s procedures. Any
such notice of withdrawal must (1)&nbsp;specify the name of the person who tendered the Old Notes to be withdrawn, (2)&nbsp;specify the principal of Old Notes delivered for exchange, (3)&nbsp;specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be
credited with the withdrawn Old Notes, (4)&nbsp;include a statement that such holder is withdrawing its election to have the Old Notes exchanged, and (5)&nbsp;otherwise comply with the procedures of DTC. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any permitted withdrawal of Old Notes may not be rescinded. Any Old Notes properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of

will be determined by the Issuer, in its sole discretion, which determination shall be final and binding on all parties. Neither the Issuer, any affiliates of the Issuer, the Exchange Agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give any
notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">3. <I>Partial
Tenders.</I> Tenders of Old Notes will be accepted only in principal amounts equal to at least $100,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The entire principal amount of Old Notes delivered to the Exchange Agent will be deemed to
have been tendered unless otherwise communicated to the Exchange Agent. If the entire principal amount of all Old Notes held by a holder is not tendered, then Old Notes for the principal amount of Old Notes not tendered and New Notes issued in
exchange for any Old Notes accepted will be returned by credit to the holder&#146;s account at DTC, as soon as practicable following the Expiration Date. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">4. <I>Important Tax Information.</I> Each tendering holder should provide the Exchange Agent with its correct taxpayer identification number, which, in the
case of a holder who is an individual, is his or her social security number. If the exchange agent is not provided with the correct taxpayer identification number or an adequate basis for an exemption, the holder may be subject to backup withholding
in an amount currently equal to up to 24% of any reportable payments made with respect to the Old Notes and a $50 penalty imposed by the Internal Revenue Service (the &#147;IRS&#148;). If withholding results in an over-payment of taxes, a refund may
be obtained. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To prevent backup withholding on any reportable payments, each holder tendering Old Notes may be requested to provide such holder&#146;s

a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> person to qualify as exempt, such person may be requested to submit an appropriate IRS Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">W-8</FONT> (for example, an IRS Form
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">W-8BEN).</FONT> An IRS Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">W-9</FONT> or IRS Form <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">W-8</FONT> may be obtained from the IRS website at www.irs.gov or from the Exchange Agent. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Issuer reserves the right in its sole discretion to take whatever steps are necessary to comply with its obligation regarding backup withholding. Holders
are urged to consult with their own tax advisors to determine if they are exempt from backup withholding. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">5. <I>Transfer Taxes.</I> The Issuer will pay or
cause to be paid all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer. If, however, New Notes or Old Notes for principal amounts not tendered or accepted for exchange are to be delivered to, or are to be
registered or issued in the name of, any person other than the registered holder of the Old Notes tendered hereby, or if tendered Old Notes are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing this letter of transmittal, or if a
transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the exchange of Old Notes pursuant to the Exchange Offer, then the amount of any such transfer taxes (whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person) will be payable by the tendering
holder. If satisfactory evidence of payment of such taxes or exemption therefrom is not submitted with this letter of transmittal, the amount of such transfer taxes will be billed directly to such tendering holder and the Exchange Agent will retain
possession of an amount of New Notes with a face amount at least equal to the amount of such transfer taxes due by such tendering holder pending receipt by the Exchange Agent of the amount of such taxes. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">6. <I>Validity of Tenders.</I> All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt), acceptance and withdrawal of tendered Old Notes
will be determined by the Issuer in its sole discretion, which determination will be conclusive, final and binding. The Issuer reserves the absolute right to reject any and all Old Notes not properly tendered or any Old Notes the Issuer&#146;s
acceptance of which would, in the opinion of the Issuer&#146;s counsel, be unlawful. The Issuer also reserves the right to waive any conditions of the Exchange Offer or defects or irregularities of tenders as to particular Old Notes. The
Issuer&#146;s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Offer (including the instructions in this letter of transmittal) shall be conclusive, final and binding on all parties. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in
connection with tenders of Old Notes must be cured within such time as the Issuer shall determine. Each tendering holder, by delivery of an agent&#146;s message, waives any right to receive any notice of the acceptance of such tender. Tenders of
such Old Notes shall not be deemed to have been made until such irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Old Notes received by the Exchange Agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the irregularities have not been cured or waived
will be returned by the Exchange Agent, without expense, to the tendering holders, promptly following the Expiration Date. Neither the Issuer, the Exchange Agent nor any other person shall be under any duty to give notification of defects or
irregularities with respect to tenders of Old Notes nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give such notification. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">7. <I>No Conditional
Tender.</I> No alternative, conditional, irregular or contingent tender of Old Notes will be accepted. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">8. <I>Requests for Assistance or Additional
Copies.</I> Questions and requests for assistance or for additional copies of the Prospectus or this letter of transmittal may be directed to the Exchange Agent at the address, email address or facsimile number set forth on the cover page of this
letter of transmittal. Holders may also contact their broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee for assistance concerning the Exchange Offer. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>IMPORTANT: BY USING THE ATOP PROCEDURES TO TENDER OLD NOTES, YOU WILL NOT BE REQUIRED TO DELIVER THIS LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT. HOWEVER,
YOU WILL BE BOUND BY THE TERMS, AND YOU WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS AND THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IT CONTAINS, JUST AS IF YOU HAD SIGNED IT. </B></P>
