Deposit Liabilities The Deposit Liabilities are insured by the FDIC to the fullest extent permitted by federal law and no action is pending or has been threatened by the FDIC against Seller with respect to the termination of such insurance, and all premiums and assessments required to be paid in connection therewith have been paid when due by Seller. The Deposit Liabilities were opened, extended or made, and have been maintained, in all material respects in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, rules and orders. The Deposit Liabilities (a) are in all respects genuine and enforceable obligations of Seller, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership, conservatorship, or similar laws or judicial decisions relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally or the rights of creditors, or of the FDIC as insurer, regulator, conservator, or receiver, of banks the accounts of which are insured by the FDIC, and (b) were acquired in the ordinary course of Seller’s business. Seller has made available to Purchaser any material document setting forth the terms and agreements relating to the Deposit Liabilities. During the five (5) years preceding the date hereof, neither Seller nor any of its Affiliates has transferred or booked any material amount of deposit liabilities previously booked to a branch or business location of any Affiliate of Seller, other than a Branch. Except as set forth on Schedule 6.11, none of the Deposit Liabilities constitute Brokered Deposits.
