or all owned Bank Premises, including all Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment
located on the Bank Premises. The Assuming Bank shall give written notice to the

with respect to such leased Bank Premises.
(e) Occupancy
Costs.
17
(i) The
Assuming Bank agrees to pay to the Receiver, or to appropriate third parties at
the direction of the Receiver, during and for the period of any occupancy by it

entered into by the Failed Bank, including without limitation the timely payment
of all rent. Operating costs include, without limitation all taxes, fees,
charges, utilities, insurance and assessments, to the extent not included in the
rental value or rent. If the Assuming Bank elects to purchase any owned Bank
Premises in accordance with Section 4.6(a), the amount of any rent paid (and
taxes paid to the Receiver which have not been paid to the taxing authority and
for which the Assuming Bank assumes liability) by the Assuming Bank with respect
thereto shall be applied as an offset against the purchase price
thereof.
(ii) The
Assuming Bank agrees during the period of occupancy by it of owned or leased
Bank Premises, to pay to the Receiver rent for the use of all owned or leased
Furniture and Equipment and all owned or leased Fixtures located on such Bank
Premises for the period of such occupancy. Rent for such property owned by the
Failed Bank shall be the market rental value thereof, as determined by the
Receiver within sixty (60) days after Bank Closing. Rent for
such leased property shall be an amount equal to any and all rent and other
amounts which the Receiver incurs or accrues as an obligation or is obligated to
pay for such period of occupancy pursuant to all leases and contracts with
respect to such property. If the Assuming Bank purchases any owned Furniture and
Equipment or owned Fixtures in accordance with Section (f) or 4.6(h), the

Requirements as to Furniture, Equipment and Fixtures. If the Assuming Bank
purchases owned Bank Premises or accepts an assignment of the lease (or enters
into a sublease or a new lease in lieu thereof) for leased Bank Premises as
provided in Section 4.6(a) or 4.6(b), or if the Assuming Bank does not exercise
such option but within twelve (12) months following Bank Closing obtains the
right to occupy such premises (whether by assignment, lease, sublease, purchase
or otherwise), other than in accordance with Section 4.6(a) or (b), the Assuming
Bank shall (i) effective as of the date of Bank Closing, purchase from the
Receiver all Furniture and Equipment and Fixtures owned by the Failed Bank at
Fair Market Value and located thereon as of Bank Closing, (ii) accept an
assignment or a sublease of the leases or negotiate new leases for all Furniture
and Equipment and Fixtures leased by the Failed Bank and located thereon, and
(iii) if applicable, accept an assignment or a sublease of any ground lease or
negotiate a new ground lease with respect to any land on which such Bank
Premises are located; provided, that the Receiver

repudiated the leases specified in clause (ii) or (iii).
(g) Vacating
Premises.
(i) If
the Assuming Bank elects not to purchase any owned Bank Premises, the notice of

which the Assuming Bank’s occupancy of such premises shall terminate, which date
shall not be later than ninety (90) days after the date of the Assuming Bank’s
notice not to exercise such option. The Assuming Bank promptly shall relinquish
and release to the Receiver such premises and the Furniture and Equipment and
Fixtures located thereon in the same condition as at Bank Closing, normal wear
and tear excepted. By occupying any such premises after the expiration of such
ninety (90)-day period, the Assuming Bank shall, at the Receiver’s option, (x)
be deemed to have agreed to purchase such Bank Premises, and to assume all
leases, obligations and liabilities with respect to leased Furniture and
Equipment and leased Fixtures located thereon and any ground lease with respect
to the land on which such premises are located, and (y) be required to purchase
all Furniture and Equipment and Fixtures owned by the Failed Bank and located on
such premises as of Bank Closing.
18
(ii) If
the Assuming Bank elects not to accept an assignment of the lease or sublease
any leased Bank Premises, the notice of such election in accordance with Section
4.6(b) shall specify the date upon which the Assuming Bank’s occupancy of such
leased Bank Premises shall terminate, which date shall not be later than the
date which is one hundred eighty (180) days after Bank Closing. Upon vacating
such premises, the Assuming Bank shall relinquish and release to the Receiver
such premises and the Fixtures and the Furniture and Equipment located thereon
in the same condition as at Bank Closing, normal wear and tear excepted. By
failing to provide notice of its intention to vacate such premises prior to the
expiration of the option period specified in Section 4.6(b), or by occupying
such premises after the one hundred eighty (180)-day period specified above in
this paragraph (ii), the Assuming Bank shall, at the Receiver’s option, (x) be
deemed to have assumed all leases, obligations and liabilities with respect to
such premises (including any ground lease with respect to the land on which
premises are located), and leased Furniture and Equipment and leased Fixtures
located thereon in accordance with this Section 4.6 (unless the Receiver
previously repudiated any such lease), and (y) be required to purchase all
Furniture and Equipment and Fixtures owned by the Failed Bank at Fair Market
Value and located on such premises as of Bank Closing.

understood that, as far as practicable, all adjustments will be made consistent

the Receiver may, in its discretion, at any time, require that such claim be
assumed by the Assuming Bank in a manner consistent with the intent of this
Agreement. The Receiver will make appropriate adjustments to the pro forma
statement provided by the Receiver to the Assuming Bank pursuant to Section 8.1
as may be necessary.
8.3 Payments. The Receiver agrees to
cause to be paid to the Assuming Bank, or the Assuming Bank agrees to pay to the

which reflects net adjustments (including any costs, expenses and fees
associated with determinations of value as provided in this Agreement) made

Corporation and the Assuming Bank each agree, at any time, and from time to
time, upon the request of any party hereto, to execute and deliver such
additional instruments and documents of conveyance as shall be reasonably
necessary to vest in the appropriate party its full legal or equitable title in
and to the property transferred pursuant to this Agreement or to be transferred

of conveyance at its own expense.

Receiver shall have the right, in its discretion, to (i) defend or settle any
claim or suit against the Assuming Bank with respect to which the Receiver has
indemnified the Assuming Bank in the same manner and to the same extent as
provided in Article XII, and (ii) defend or settle any claim or suit against the
Assuming Bank with respect to any Liability Assumed, which claim or suit may
result in a loss to the Receiver arising out of or related to this Agreement, or
which existed against the Failed Bank on or before Bank Closing. The exercise by
the Receiver of any rights under this Section 9.3(a) shall not release the
Assuming Bank with respect to any of its obligations under this
Agreement.
(b) In
the event any action at law or in equity shall be instituted by any Person
against the Receiver and the Corporation as codefendants with respect to any
asset of the Failed Bank retained or acquired pursuant to this Agreement by the
Receiver, the Receiver agrees, at the request of the Corporation, to join with
the Corporation in a petition to remove the action to the United States District
Court for the proper district. The Receiver agrees to institute, with or without
joinder of the Corporation as coplaintiff, any action with respect to any such
retained or acquired asset or any matter connected therewith whenever notice
requiring such action shall be given by the Corporation to the
Receiver.
9.4 Payment
of Deposits. In the event any
depositor does not accept the obligation of the Assuming Bank to pay any Deposit
liability of the Failed Bank assumed by the Assuming Bank pursuant to this
Agreement and asserts a claim against the Receiver for all or any portion of any
such Deposit liability, the Assuming Bank agrees on demand to provide to the
Receiver funds sufficient to pay such claim in an amount not in excess of the
Deposit liability reflected on the books of the Assuming Bank at the time such
claim is made. Upon payment by the Assuming Bank to the Receiver of such amount,
the Assuming Bank shall be discharged from any further obligation under this
Agreement to pay to any such depositor the amount of such Deposit liability paid
to the Receiver.
27
9.5 Withheld
Payments. At
any time, the Receiver or the Corporation may, in its discretion, determine that
all or any portion of any deposit balance assumed by the Assuming Bank pursuant
to this Agreement does not constitute a “Deposit” (or otherwise, in its
discretion, determine that it is the best interest of the Receiver or
Corporation to withhold all or any portion of any deposit), and may direct the
Assuming Bank to withhold payment of all or any portion of any such deposit
balance. Upon such direction, the Assuming Bank agrees to hold such deposit and
not to make any payment of such deposit balance to or on behalf of the
depositor, or to itself, whether by way of transfer, set-off, or otherwise. The
Assuming Bank agrees to maintain the “withheld payment” status of any such
deposit balance until directed in writing by the Receiver or the Corporation as
to its disposition. At the direction of the Receiver or the Corporation, the
Assuming Bank shall return all or any portion of such deposit balance to the
Receiver or the Corporation, as appropriate, and thereupon the Assuming Bank
shall be discharged from any further liability to such depositor with respect to
such returned deposit balance. If such deposit balance has been paid to the
depositor prior to a demand for return by the Corporation or the Receiver, and
payment of such deposit balance had not been previously withheld pursuant to
this Section, the Assuming Bank shall not be obligated to return such deposit
balance to the Receiver or the Corporation. The Assuming Bank shall be obligated
to reimburse the Corporation or the Receiver, as the case may be, for the amount
of any deposit balance or portion thereof paid by the Assuming Bank in
contravention of any previous direction to withhold payment of such deposit
balance or return such deposit balance the payment of which was withheld
pursuant to this Section.

Receiver.

whether any such present or former shareholder is also a present or former
shareholder of the Failed Bank;
32
(8)

Agreement;
(9)

Supplemental. The obligations of the
Receiver, and the Corporation as guarantor in accordance with Section 12.7, to
provide indemnification under this Article XII are to supplement any amount
payable by any Primary Indemnitor to the Person indemnified under this Article
XII. Consistent with that intent, the Receiver agrees only to make payments
pursuant to such indemnification to the extent not payable by a Primary
Indemnitor. If the aggregate amount of payments by the Receiver, or the
Corporation as guarantor in accordance with Section 12.7, and all Primary
Indemnitors with respect to any item of indemnification under this Article XII
exceeds the amount payable with respect to such item, such Person being
indemnified shall notify the Receiver thereof and, upon the request of the

the amount of the Receiver’s (or Corporation’s) payments to the extent of such
excess.
12.6 Criminal
Claims. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Article XII to the contrary, in the event that any Person
being indemnified under this Article XII shall become involved in any criminal
action, suit or proceeding, whether judicial, administrative or investigative,
the Receiver shall have no obligation hereunder to indemnify such Person for
liability with respect to any criminal act or to the extent any costs or
expenses are attributable to the defense against the allegation of any criminal
act, unless (i) the Person is successful on the merits or otherwise in the
defense against any such action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) such action, suit
or proceeding is terminated without the imposition of liability on such
Person.
12.7 Limited
Guaranty of the Corporation. The Corporation hereby
guarantees performance of the Receiver’s obligation to indemnify the Assuming
Bank as set forth in this Article XII. It is a condition to the Corporation’s
obligation hereunder that the Assuming Bank shall comply in all respects with
the applicable provisions of this Article XII. The Corporation shall be liable
hereunder only for such amounts, if any, as the Receiver is obligated to pay
under the terms of this Article XII but shall fail to pay. Except as otherwise
provided above in this Section 12.7, nothing in this Article XII is intended or
shall be construed to create any liability or obligation on the part of the
Corporation, the United States of America or any department or agency thereof
under or with respect to this Article XII, or any provision hereof, it being the
intention of the parties hereto that the obligations undertaken by the Receiver
under this Article XII are the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Receiver
and no other Person or entity.
12.8 Subrogation. Upon payment by the
Receiver, or the Corporation as guarantor in accordance with Section 12.7, to

present valued to the swap zero coupon interest rate
curve.
|
(ii)
|
All
valuations shall employ prices and interest rates based on the actual
frequency of rate reset or
payment.
|

|
Each
tranche of amortizing contracts shall be separately valued. The total
value of such amortizing contract shall be the sum of the values of its
component tranches.

regularly traded contracts, valuations shall be at the midpoint of the bid
and ask prices quoted by customary sources (e.g., The Wall Street Journal,
Telerate, Reuters or other similar source) or regularly traded
exchanges.
|
40
(v)
|
For
all other Qualified Financial Contracts where published market quotes are
unavailable, the adjusted price shall be the average of the bid and ask
price quotes from three (3) securities dealers acceptable to the Receiver

cannot be obtained, an appraiser acceptable to the Receiver and the
Assuming Bank will perform a valuation based on modeling, correlation
analysis, interpolation or other techniques, as

(a) Loss

Shared-Loss Loan in default or for which a default is reasonably foreseeable,
the Assuming Bank shall undertake reasonable and customary loss mitigation
efforts, in accordance with any of the following programs selected by Assuming
Bank in its sole discretion, Exhibit 5 (FDIC Mortgage Loan Modification
Program), the United States Treasury’s Home Affordable
Modification
Program Guidelines or any other modification program approved by the United
States Treasury Department, the Corporation, the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System or any other governmental agency (it being understood
that the Assuming Bank can select different programs for the various Single
Family Shared-Loss Loans) (such program chosen, the “Modification Guidelines”).
After selecting the applicable Modification Guideline for any such Single Family
Shared-Loss Loan, the Assuming Bank shall document its consideration of
foreclosure, loan restructuring under such Modification Guideline chosen, and
short-sale (if short-sale is a viable option) alternatives and shall select the
alternative the Assuming Bank believes, based on its estimated calculations,
will result in the least Loss. Losses on Home Equity Loans shall be shared under
the charge-off policies of the Assuming Bank’s Examination Criteria as if they
were Single Family Shared-Loss Loans with respect to the calculation of the
Stated Threshold. Assuming Bank shall retain its calculations of the estimated
loss under each alternative, such calculations to be provided to the Receiver
upon request. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, (i) the Assuming Bank is not required to modify or restructure any
Single Family Shared-Loss Loan on more than one occasion and (ii) the Assuming
Bank is not required to consider any alternatives with respect to any
Shared-Loss Loan in the process of foreclosure as of the Bank Closing and shall
be entitled to continue such foreclosure measures and recover the Foreclosure
Loss as provided herein, and (iii) the Assuming Bank shall have a transition
period of up to 90 days after Bank Closing to implement the Modification
Guidelines, during which time, the Assuming Bank may submit claims under such
guidelines as may be in place at the Failed Bank.

foregoing information to the extent it is unable to do so as a result of the
Failed Bank’s or Receiver’s failure to provide information required to produce
the information set forth in this Section 2.1(c); provided, that the
Assuming Bank shall, consistent with Customary Servicing Procedures seek to
produce any such missing information or improve any inaccurate information
previously provided to it.
(d) Payments
With Respect to Shared-Loss Assets.
(i) Losses
Under the Stated Threshold. After the Shared Loss
Payment Trigger is reached, not later than fifteen (15) days after the date on
which the Receiver receives the Monthly Certificate, the Receiver shall pay to
the Assuming Bank, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to eighty
percent (80%) of the Monthly Shared-Loss Amount reported on the Monthly
Certificate. If the total Monthly Shared-Loss Amount reported on the Monthly
Certificate is a negative number, the Assuming Bank shall pay to the Receiver in
immediately available funds eighty percent (80%) of that amount.
(ii) Losses in
Excess of the Stated Threshold. In the event that the
sum of the Cumulative Loss Amount under this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement
and the Stated Loss Amount under the Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement meets or
exceeds the Stated Threshold, the loss/recovery sharing percentages set forth
herein shall change from 80/20 to 95/5 and thereafter the Receiver shall pay to
the Assuming Bank, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to
ninety-five percent (95%) of the Monthly Shared-Loss Amount reported on the
Monthly Certificate. If the Monthly Shared-Loss Amount reported on the Monthly
Certificate is a
negative number, the Assuming Bank shall pay to the Receiver in immediately
available funds ninety-five percent (95%) of that amount.
50
(e) Limitations
on Shared-Loss Payment. The Receiver shall not
be required to make any payments pursuant to Section 2.1(d) with respect to any
Foreclosure Loss, Restructuring Loss, Short Sale Loss or Portfolio Loss that the
Receiver determines, based upon the criteria set forth in this Single Family
Shared-Loss Agreement (including the analysis and documentation requirements of
Section 2.1(a)) or Customary Servicing Procedures, should not have been effected
by the Assuming Bank; provided, however, (x) the Receiver must provide notice to
the Assuming Bank detailing the grounds for not making such payment, (y) the
Receiver must provide the Assuming Bank with a reasonable opportunity to cure
any such deficiency and (z) (1) to the extent curable, if cured, the Receiver
shall make payment with respect to the properly effected Loss, and (2) to the
extent not curable, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiver shall make a
payment as to all Losses (or portion of Losses) that were effected which would
have been payable as a Loss if the Assuming Bank had properly effected such
Loss. In the event that the Receiver does not make any payment with respect to
Losses claimed pursuant to Section 2.1(d), the Receiver and Assuming Bank shall,
upon final resolution, make the necessary adjustments to the Monthly Shared-Loss
Amount for that Monthly Certificate and the payment pursuant to Section 2.1(d)
above shall be adjusted accordingly.
(f) Payments
by Wire-Transfer. All payments under this
Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement shall be made by wire-transfer in accordance
with the wire-transfer instructions on Exhibit 4.
2.2
Auditor Report; Right
to Audit.
(a)
Within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year during which the
Receiver makes any payment to the Assuming Bank under this Single Family
Shared-Loss Agreement, the Assuming Bank shall deliver to the Corporation and to
the Receiver a report signed by its independent public accountants stating that
they have reviewed the terms of this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement and
that, in the course of their annual audit of the Assuming Bank’s books and
records, nothing has come to their attention suggesting that any computations
required to be made by the Assuming Bank during such year pursuant to this
Article II were not made by the Assuming Bank in accordance herewith. In the
event that the Assuming Bank cannot comply with the preceding sentence, it shall
promptly submit to the Receiver corrected computations together with a report
signed by its independent public accountants stating that, after giving effect
to such corrected computations, nothing has come to their attention suggesting
that any computations required to be made by the Assuming Bank during such year
pursuant to this Article II were not made by the Assuming Bank in accordance
herewith. In such event, the Assuming Bank and the Receiver shall make all such
accounting adjustments and payments as may be necessary to give effect to each
correction reflected in such corrected computations, retroactive to the date on
which the corresponding incorrect computation was made. It is the intention of
this provision to align the timing of the audit required under this
Single-Family Shared-Loss Agreement with the examination audit required pursuant
to 12 CFR Section 363.
51
(b) The
Receiver or the FDIC in its corporate capacity (“Corporation”) may perform an
audit or audits to determine the Assuming Bank’s compliance with the provisions
of this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement, including this Article II, by
providing not less than ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice. Assuming
Bank shall provide access to pertinent records and proximate working space in
Assuming Bank’s facilities. The scope and duration of any such audit shall be
within the reasonable discretion of the Receiver or the Corporation, but shall
in no event be administered in a manner that unreasonably interferes with the
operation of the Assuming Bank’s business. The Receiver or the Corporation, as
the case may be, shall bear the expense of any such audit. In the event that any
corrections are necessary as a result of such an audit or audits, the Assuming
Bank and the Receiver shall make such accounting adjustments and payments as may
be necessary to give retroactive effect to such corrections.
2.3 Withholdings. Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Article II, the Receiver, upon the direction of the
Director (or designee) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s Division
of Resolutions and Receiverships, may withhold payment for any amounts included
in a Monthly Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.1, if in its good faith
and reasonable judgment there is a reasonable basis under the requirements of
this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement for denying the eligibility of an item
for which reimbursement or payment is sought under such Section. In such event,
the Receiver shall provide a written notice to the Assuming Bank detailing the
grounds for withholding such payment. At such time as the Assuming Bank
demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Receiver, in its reasonable judgment,
that the grounds for such withholding of payment, or portion of payment, no
longer exist or have been cured, then the Receiver shall pay the Assuming Bank
the amount withheld which the Receiver determines is eligible for payment,
within fifteen (15) Business Days.
2.4 Books and
Records. The
Assuming Bank shall at all times during the term of this Single Family
Shared-Loss Agreement keep books and records sufficient to ensure and document
compliance with the terms of this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement, including
but not limited to (a) documentation of alternatives considered with respect to
defaulted loans or loans for which default is reasonably foreseeable, (b)
documentation showing the calculation of loss for claims submitted to the
Receiver, (c) retention of documents that support each line item on the loss
claim forms, and (d) documentation with respect to the Recovery Amount on loans
for which the Receiver has made a loss-share payment
2.5 Information. The Assuming Bank shall
promptly provide to the Receiver such other information, including but not
limited to, financial statements, computations, and bank policies and
procedures, relating to the performance of the provisions of this Single Family
Shared-Loss Agreement, as the Receiver may reasonably request from time to
time.
52
2.6 Tax
Ruling. The
Assuming Bank shall not at any time, without the Receiver’s prior written
consent, seek a private letter ruling or other determination from the Internal
Revenue Service or otherwise seek to qualify for any special tax treatment or
benefits associated with any payments made by the Receiver pursuant to this
Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement.
2.7 Sale of
Single Family Shared-Loss Loans. The Receiver shall be
relieved of its obligations with respect to a Single Family Shared-Loss Loan
upon payment of a Foreclosure Loss amount or a Short Sale Loss amount with
respect to such Single Family Shared-Loss Loan
or upon
the sale of a Single Family Shared-Loss Loan by Assuming Bank to a person or
entity that is not an Affiliate; provided, however, that if the Receiver
consents to the sale of any such Single Family Shared-Loss Loan, any loss on
such sale shall be a Portfolio Loss. The Assuming Bank shall provide the
Receiver with timely notice of any such sale. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a
sale of the Single Family Shared-Loss Loan, for purposes of this Section 2.7,
shall not be deemed to have occurred as the result of (i) any change in the
ownership or control of Assuming Bank or the transfer of any or all of the
Single Family Shared-Loss Loan(s) to any Affiliate of Assuming Bank, (ii) a
merger by Assuming Bank with or into any other entity, or (iii) a sale by
Assuming Bank of all or substantially all of its assets.

Single Family Shared-Loss Loans to) manage, administer, and collect the Single
Family Shared-Loss Loans while owned by the Assuming Bank or any Affiliate
thereof during the term of this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement in
accordance with the rules set forth in this Article III. The Assuming Bank shall
be responsible to the Receiver in the performance of its duties hereunder and

2.2 and 3.3 hereof, and shall permit the Receiver to monitor the Assuming Bank’s
performance of its duties hereunder.
3.2 Duties of
the Assuming Bank. (a) In performance of
its duties under this Article III, the Assuming Bank shall:
(i) manage
and administer each Single Family Shared-Loss Loan in accordance with Assuming

Procedures;
(ii) exercise
its best business judgment in managing, administering and collecting amounts
owed on the Single Family Shared-Loss Loans;

(iv) retain
sufficient staff (in Assuming Bank’s discretion) to perform its duties
hereunder; and
53
(v) other
than as provided in Section 2.1(a), comply with the terms of the Modification
Guidelines for any Single Family Shared-Loss Loans meeting the requirements set
forth therein. For the avoidance of doubt, the Assuming Bank may propose
exceptions to Exhibit 5 (the FDIC Loan Modification Program) for a group of
Loans with similar characteristics, with the objectives of (1) minimizing the
loss to the Assuming Bank and the FDIC and (2) maximizing the opportunity for
qualified homeowners to remain in their homes with affordable mortgage
payments.

execution of any contract pursuant to which any Affiliate of the Assuming Bank

not entered into on an arm’s length basis on commercially reasonable terms such
transaction shall be subject to the prior written approval of the
Receiver.

establish and maintain such records as may be appropriate to account for the

regarding the Single Family Shared-Loss Loans and the Monthly Certificates
required by Section 2.1 of this Single Family Shared-Loss
Agreement.
3.4
Related
Loans.
(a) Assuming
Bank shall use its best efforts to determine which loans are “Related Loans”, as
hereinafter defined. The Assuming Bank shall not manage, administer or collect
any “Related Loan” in any manner that would have the effect of increasing the
amount of any collections with respect to the Related Loan to the detriment of
the Single Family Shared-Loss Loan to which such loan is related. A “Related
Loan” means any loan or extension of credit held by the Assuming Bank at any
time on or prior to the end of the Final Shared-Loss Month that is made to an
Obligor of a Single Family Shared-Loss Loan.
(b) The
Assuming Bank shall prepare and deliver to the Receiver with the Monthly

Action; Utilization of Special Receivership Powers. The Assuming Bank shall
notify the Receiver in writing (such notice to be given in accordance with
Article V below and to include all relevant details) prior to utilizing in any
legal action any special legal power or right which the Assuming Bank derives as
a result of having acquired an asset from the Receiver, and the Assuming Bank
shall not utilize any such power unless the Receiver shall have consented in
writing to the proposed usage. The Receiver shall have the right to direct such
proposed usage by the Assuming Bank and the Assuming Bank shall comply in all
respects with such direction. Upon request of the Receiver, the Assuming Bank
will advise the Receiver as to the status of any such legal action. The Assuming
Bank shall immediately notify the Receiver of any judgment in litigation
involving any of the aforesaid special powers or rights.
54
3.6 Third
Party Servicer. The Assuming Bank may
perform any of its obligations and/or exercise any of its rights under this
Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement through or by one or more Third Party
Servicers, who may take actions and make expenditures as if any such Third Party
Servicer was the Assuming Bank hereunder (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such
expenses incurred by any such Third Party Servicer on behalf of the Assuming
Bank shall be included in calculating Losses to the extent such expenses would
be included in such calculation if the expenses were incurred by Assuming Bank);
provided, however, that the use thereof by the Assuming Bank shall not release
the Assuming Bank of any obligation or liability hereunder.
ARTICLE
IV – PORTFOLIO SALE
4.1 Assuming
Bank Portfolio Sales of Remaining Single Family Shared-Loss Loans. The Assuming Bank shall
have the right with the concurrence of the Receiver to liquidate for cash

option under this Section 4.1, it must give thirty (30) days notice in writing
to the Receiver setting forth the details and schedule for the Portfolio Sale
which shall be conducted by means of sealed bid sales to third parties, not
including any of the Assuming Bank’s affiliates, contractors, or any affiliates
of the Assuming Bank’s contractors. Sales of Restructured Loans shall be sold in

Receiver’s review of the Assuming Bank’s proposed Portfolio Sale will be
considered in a timely fashion and approval will not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed or conditioned.

Bank’s Liquidation of Remaining Single Family Shared-Loss Loans. In the event that the
Assuming Bank does not conduct a Portfolio Sale pursuant to Section 4.1, the
Receiver shall have the right, exercisable in its sole and absolute discretion,
to require the Assuming Bank to liquidate for cash consideration, any Single
Family Shared-Loss Loans held by the Assuming Bank at any time after the date
that is six months prior to the Termination Date. If the Receiver exercises its
option under this Section 4.2, it must give notice in writing to the Assuming
Bank, setting forth the time period within which the Assuming Bank shall be
required to liquidate the Single Family Shared-Loss Loans. The Assuming Bank
will comply with the Receiver’s notice and must liquidate the Single Family
Shared-Loss Loans as soon as reasonably practicable by means of sealed bid sales
to third parties, not including any of the Assuming Bank’s affiliates,
contractors, or any affiliates of the Assuming Bank’s contractors. The selection
of any financial advisor or other third party broker or sales agent retained for
the liquidation of the remaining Single Family Shared-Loss Loans pursuant to

approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
4.3 Calculation

Shared-Loss Loans that are not Restructured Loans gain or loss on the sales

by the Assuming Bank less the unpaid principal balance of the remaining Single
Family Shared-Loss Loans. For any Restructured Loan included in the sale gain or
loss on sale will be calculated as (a) the sale price received by the Assuming
Bank less (b) the net present value of estimated cash flows on the Restructured
Loan that was used in the calculation of the related Restructuring Loss plus (c)
Loan principal payments collected by the Assuming Bank from the date the Loan
was restructured to the date of sale. (See Exhibit 2d for example
calculation).

VI -- MISCELLANEOUS
6.1. Expenses. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred by or on behalf of a
party hereto in connection with this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement shall
be borne by such party whether or not the transactions contemplated herein shall
be consummated.
6.2 Successors
and Assigns; Specific Performance. All terms and provisions
of this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto only; provided, however, that,
Receiver may assign or otherwise transfer this Single Family Shared-Loss
Agreement (in whole or in part) to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
in its corporate capacity without the consent of Assuming Bank. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement,
except as is expressly permitted in this Section 6.2, Assuming Bank may not
assign or otherwise transfer this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement (in whole
or in part) without the prior written consent of the Receiver, which consent may
be granted or withheld by the Receiver in its sole discretion, and any attempted
assignment or transfer in violation of this provision shall be void ab initio.
For the avoidance of doubt, a merger or consolidation of the Assuming
Bank with and into another financial institution, the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Assuming Bank to another financial
institution constitutes the transfer of this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement
which requires the consent of the Receiver; and for a period of thirty-six (36)
months after Bank Closing, a merger or consolidation shall also include the sale
by any individual shareholder, or shareholders acting in concert, of more than
9% of the outstanding shares of the Assuming Bank, or of its holding company
(except if the holding company is publicly held), or of any subsidiary holding
Shared-Loss Assets, or the sale of shares by the Assuming Bank or its holding
company or any subsidiary holding Shared-Loss Assets, in a public or private
offering, that increases the number of shares outstanding by more than 9%,
constitutes the transfer of this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement which
requires the consent of the Receiver. However, no Loss shall be recognized as a
result of any accounting adjustments that are made due to any such merger,
consolidation or sale consented to by the FDIC. The FDIC’s consent shall not be
required if the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Shared-Loss Assets is
less than twenty percent (20%) of the initial aggregate balance of Shared-Loss
Assets.
6.3 Governing
Law. This
Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
federal law, or, if there is no applicable federal law, the laws of the State of
New York, without regard to any rule of conflict of law that would result in the
application of the substantive law of any jurisdiction other than the State of
New York.
6.4 WAIVER OF
JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN OR TO HAVE
A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM,

such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement is held to be prohibited
by or invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, such provision
shall be construed and enforced as if it had been more narrowly drawn so as not
to be prohibited, invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remainder of such provision and the remaining
provisions of this Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
permitted assigns and there shall be no other third party beneficiaries, and

6.9 Counterparts. This Single Family
Shared-Loss Agreement may be executed separately by Receiver and Assuming Bank

DISPUTE
RESOLUTION
7.1
Dispute Resolution
Procedures.
(a) In
the event a dispute arises about the interpretation, application, calculation of
Loss, or calculation of payments or otherwise with respect to this Single Family
Shared-Loss Agreement (“SF Shared-Loss Dispute Item”), then the Receiver and the
Assuming Bank shall make every attempt in good faith to resolve such items
within sixty (60) days following the receipt of a written description of the SF
Shared-Loss Dispute Item, with notification of the possibility of taking the
matter to arbitration (the date on which such 60-day period expires, or any
extension of such period as the parties hereto may mutually agree to in writing,
herein called the “Resolution Deadline Date”). If the Receiver and the Assuming
Bank resolve all such items to their mutual satisfaction by the Resolution
Deadline Date, then within thirty (30) days following such resolution, any
payment arising out such resolution shall be made arising from
the
settlement of the SF Shared-Loss Dispute.
(b) If
the Receiver and the Assuming Bank fail to resolve any outstanding SF
Shared-Loss Dispute Items by the Resolution Deadline Date, then either party may
notify the other of its intent to submit the SF Shared-Loss Dispute Item to
arbitration pursuant to the provisions of this Article VII. Failure of either
party to notify the other of its intent to submit any unresolved SF Shared-Loss
Dispute Item to arbitration within thirty (30) days following the Resolution
Deadline Date (the date on which such thirty (30) day period expires is herein
called the “Arbitration Deadline Date”) shall be deemed an acceptance of such SF
Shared-Loss Dispute not submitted to arbitration, as well as a waiver of the
submitting party’s right to dispute such non-submitted SF Shared-Loss Dispute
Item but not a waiver of any similar claim which may arise in the
future.
(c) If a
SF Shared-Loss Dispute Item is submitted to arbitration, it shall be governed by
the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”), except as
otherwise provided herein. Either party may submit a matter for arbitration by
delivering a notice, prior to the Arbitration Deadline Date, to the other party
in writing setting forth:
(i) A
brief description of each SF Shared-Loss Dispute Item submitted for
arbitration;
(ii) A
statement of the moving party’s position with respect to each SF Shared-Loss
Dispute Item submitted for arbitration;
(iii) The
value sought by the moving party, or other relief requested regarding each SF
Shared-Loss Dispute Item submitted for arbitration, to the extent reasonably
calculable; and
(iv) The
name and address of the arbiter selected by the moving party (the “Moving
Arbiter”), who shall be a neutral, as determined by the AAA.
59
Failure
to adequately include any information above shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of the parties right to arbitrate so long as after notification of such failure
the moving party cures such failure as promptly as reasonably
practicable.
(d) The
non-moving party shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of a notice of
arbitration pursuant to this Section 7.1, deliver a notice to the moving party
setting forth:
(i) The
name and address of the arbiter selected by the non-moving party (the
“Respondent Arbiter”), who shall be a neutral, as determined by the
AAA;
(ii) A
statement of the position of the respondent with respect to each Dispute Item;
and
(iii) The
ultimate resolution sought by the respondent or other relief, if any, the
respondent deems is due the moving party with respect to each SF Shared-Loss
Dispute Item.
Failure
to adequately include any information above shall not be deemed to be a waiver
of the non-moving party’s right to defend such arbitration so long as after
notification of such failure the non-moving party cures such failure as promptly
as reasonably practicable
(e) The
Moving Arbiter and Respondent Arbiter shall select a third arbiter from a list
furnished by the AAA. In accordance with the rules of the AAA, the three (3)
arbiters shall constitute the arbitration panel for resolution of each SF
Loss-Share Dispute Item. The concurrence of any two (2) arbiters shall be deemed
to be the decision of the arbiters for all purposes hereunder. The arbitration
shall proceed on such time schedule and in accordance with the Rules of
Commercial Arbitration of the AAA then in effect, as modified by this Section
7.1. The arbitration proceedings shall take place at such location as the
parties thereto may mutually agree, but if they cannot agree, then they will
take place at the offices of the Corporation in Washington, DC, or Arlington,
Virginia.
(f) The
Receiver and Assuming Bank shall facilitate the resolution of each outstanding
SF Shared-Loss Dispute Item by making available in a prompt and timely manner to
one another and to the arbiters for examination and copying, as appropriate, all
documents, books, and records under their respective control and that would be
discoverable under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
(g) The
arbiters designated pursuant to subsections (c), (d) and (e) hereof shall
select, with respect to each Dispute Item submitted to arbitration pursuant to
this Section 7.1, either (i) the position and relief submitted by the Assuming
Bank with respect to each SF Shared-Loss Dispute Item, or (ii) the position and
relief submitted by the Receiver with respect to each SF Shared-Loss Dispute
Item, in either case as set forth in its respective notice of arbitration. The
arbiters shall have no authority to select a value for each Dispute Item other
than the determination set forth in Section 7.1(c) and Section 7.1(d). The
arbitration shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties.
(h) Any
amounts ultimately determined to be payable pursuant to such award shall bear
interest at the Settlement Interest Rate from and including the date specified
for the arbiters decisions specified in this Section 7.1, without regard to any
extension of the finality of such award, to but not including the date paid. All
payments required to be made under this Section 7.1 shall be made by wire
transfer.
60
(i) For
the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any notice of a SF Shared-Loss Dispute
Item(s) is provided prior to the Termination Date, the terms of this Single
Family Shared-Loss Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to the Single
Family Shared-Loss Loans that are the subject of such SF Shared-Loss Dispute
Item(s) until such time as any such dispute is finally resolved.
7.2 Fees and
Expenses of Arbiters. The aggregate fees and
expenses of the arbiters shall be borne equally by the parties. The parties
shall pay the aggregate fees and expenses within thirty (30) days after receipt
of the written decision of the arbiters (unless the arbiters agree in writing on
some other payment schedule).

FDIC
MORTGAGE LOAN MODIFICATION PROGRAM
Objective
The
objective of this FDIC Mortgage Loan Modification Program (“Program”) is to
modify the terms of certain residential mortgage loans so as to improve
affordability, increase the probability of performance, allow borrowers to
remain in their homes and increase the value of the loans to the FDIC and
assignees. The Program provides for the modification of Qualifying Loans (as
defined below) by reducing the borrower’s monthly housing debt to income ratio
(“DTI Ratio”) to no more than 31% at the time of the modification and
eliminating adjustable interest rate and negative amortization
features.
Qualifying Mortgage
Loans
In order
for a mortgage loan to be a Qualifying Loan it must meet all of the following
criteria, which must be confirmed by the lender:
|
·
|
The
collateral securing the mortgage loan is owner-occupied and the owner’s
primary residence; and
|
|
·
|
The
mortgagor has a first priority lien on the collateral;
and
|
|
·
|
Either
the borrower is at least 60 days delinquent or a default is reasonably
foreseeable.
|
Modification
Process
The
lender shall undertake a review of its mortgage loan portfolio to identify
Qualifying Loans. For each Qualifying Loan, the lender shall determine the net
present value of the modified loan and, if it will exceed the net present value
of the foreclosed collateral upon disposition, then the Qualifying Loan shall be
modified so as to reduce the borrower’s monthly DTI Ratio to no more than 31% at
the time of the modification. To achieve this, the lender shall use a
combination of interest rate reduction, term extension and principal
forbearance, as necessary.
The
borrower’s monthly DTI Ratio shall be a percentage calculated by dividing the
borrower’s monthly income by the borrower’s monthly housing payment (including
principal, interest, taxes and insurance). For these purposes, (1) the
borrower’s monthly income shall be the amount of the borrower’s (along with any
co-borrowers’) documented and verified gross monthly income, and (2) the
borrower’s monthly housing payment shall be the amount required to pay monthly
principal and interest plus one-twelfth of the then current annual amount
required to pay real property taxes and homeowner’s insurance with respect to
the collateral.
In order
to calculate the monthly principal payment, the lender shall capitalize to the
outstanding principal balance of the Qualifying Loan the amount of all
delinquent interest, delinquent taxes, past due insurance premiums, third party
fees and (without duplication) escrow advances (such amount, the “Capitalized
Balance”).
64
In order
to achieve the goal of reducing the DTI Ratio to 31%, the lender shall take the
following steps in the following order of priority with respect to each
Qualifying Loan:
|
1.
|
Reduce
the interest rate to the then current Xxxxxxx Mac Survey Rate for 30-year
fixed rate mortgage loans, and adjust the term to 30
years.
|
|
2.
|
If
the DTI Ratio is still in excess of 31%, reduce the interest rate further,
but no lower than 3%, until the DTI ratio of 31% is
achieved.
|
|
3.
|
If
the DTI Ratio is still in excess of 31% after adjusting the interest rate
to 3%, extend the remaining term of the loan by 10
years.
|
|
4.
|
If
the DTI Ratio is still in excess of 31%, calculate a new monthly payment
(the “Adjusted Payment Amount”) that will result in the borrower’s monthly
DTI Ratio not exceeding 31%. After calculating the Adjusted Payment
Amount, the lender shall bifurcate the Capitalized Balance into two
portions – the amortizing portion and the non-amortizing portion. The
amortizing portion of the Capitalized Balance shall be the mortgage amount
that will fully amortize over a 40-year term at an annual interest rate of
3% and monthly payments equal to the Adjusted Payment Amount. The
non-amortizing portion of the Capitalized Balance shall be the difference
between the Capitalized Balance and the amortizing portion of the
Capitalized Balance. If the amortizing portion of the Capitalized Balance
is less than 75% of the current estimated value of the collateral, then
the lender may choose not to restructure the loan. If the lender chooses
to restructure the loan, then the lender shall forbear on collecting the
non-amortizing portion of the Capitalized Balance, and such amount shall
be due and payable only upon the earlier of (i) maturity of the modified
loan, (ii) a sale of the property or (iii) a pay-off or refinancing of the
loan. No interest shall be charged on the non-amortizing portion of the
Capitalized Balance, but repayment shall be secured by a first lien on the
collateral.
|
Special
Note:
The net
present value calculation used to determine whether a loan should be modified
based on the modification process above is distinct and different from the net
present value calculation used to determine the covered loss if the loan is
modified. Please refer only to the net present value calculation described in
this exhibit for the modification process, with its separate assumptions, when
determining whether to provide a modification to a borrower. Separate
assumptions may include, without limitation, Assuming Bank’s determination of a
probability of default without modification, a probability of default with
modification, home price forecasts, prepayment speeds, and event timing. These
assumptions are applied to different projected cash flows over the term of the
loan, such as the projected cash flow of the loan performing or defaulting
without modification and the projected cash flow of the loan performing or
defaulting with modification.
By contrast, the net present
value for determining the covered loss is based on a 10 year period. While the
assumptions in the net present value calculation used in the modification
process may change, the net present value calculation for determining the
covered loss remains constant.

final Shared-Loss Quarter unless the term of such Shared-Loss Loan Commitment or
Shared-Loss Loan as existed on Bank Closing was beyond the end of the final
Shared-Loss Quarter, in which event no such amendment, modification, renewal,
extension or waiver shall extend such term beyond the term as existed as of Bank
Closing.

“Pre-Charge-Off
Expenses” means
those expenses incurred in the usual and prudent management of a Shared-Loss
Loan that would qualify as a Reimbursable Expense or Recovery Expense if
incurred after a Charge-Off of the related Shared-Loss Asset had
occurred.
“Quarterly
Certificate” has
the meaning provided in Section 2.1(a)(i) of this Commercial Shared-Loss
Agreement.
“Recoveries” (I)(A) In addition to any sums
to be applied as Recoveries pursuant to subparagraph (II) below, “Recoveries”
means, with respect to any period, the sum of (without
duplication):
(i) the
amount of collections during such period by the Assuming Bank on Charge-Offs of
Shared-Loss Assets effected by the Assuming Bank prior to the end of the final
Shared-Loss Quarter; plus
(ii) the
amount of collections during such period by the Assuming Bank on Failed Bank
Charge-Offs/Write-Downs; plus
(iii) the
amount of gain on any sale or other disposition during such period by the
Assuming Bank of Shared Loss Loans, Other Real Estate, Additional ORE or
Subsidiary ORE (provided, that the amount of
any such gain included in Recoveries shall not exceed the aggregate amount of
the related Failed Bank Charge-Offs/Write-Downs and Charge-Offs taken and any
related Reimbursable Expenses and Recovery Expenses); plus
(iv) the
amount of collections during such period by the Assuming Bank of any
Reimbursable Expenses or Recovery Expenses; plus
(v) the
amount of any fee or other consideration received by the Assuming Bank during or
prior to such period in connection with any amendment, modification, renewal,
extension, refinance, restructure, commitment or other similar action taken by
the Assuming Bank with respect to a Shared-Loss Asset with respect to which
there exists a Failed Bank Charge-Off/Write-Down or a Shared-Loss Loan as to
which a Charge-Off has been effected by the Assuming Bank during or prior to
such period (provided, that the amount of
any such fee or other consideration included in Recoveries shall not exceed the
aggregate amount of the related Failed Bank Charge-Offs/Write-Downs and
Charge-Offs taken and any related Reimbursable Expenses and Recovery
Expenses).
(I)(B)
For the purpose of determining the amounts to be applied as Recoveries pursuant
to subparagraph (I)(A) above, the Assuming Bank shall apply amounts received on
the Assets that are not otherwise applied to reduce the book value of principal
of a Shared-Loss Loan (or, in the case of Other Real Estate, Additional ORE,
Subsidiary ORE and Capitalized Expenditures, that are not otherwise applied to
reduce the book value thereof) in the following order: first to Charge-Offs and
Failed Bank Charge-Offs/Write Downs; then to Reimbursable Expenses and Recovery
Expenses; then to interest income; and then to other expenses incurred by the
Assuming Bank.
70
(II)
If there occurs
an amendment, modification, renewal, extension, refinance, restructure,
commitment, sale or other similar action with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan as
to which there exists a Failed Bank Charge-Off/Write Down or as to which a
Charge-Off has been effected by the Assuming Bank during or prior to such
period, and
if, as a result
of such occurrence, the Assuming Bank recognizes any interest income for
financial accounting purposes on that Shared-Loss Loan, then “Recoveries”
shall also include the portion of the total amount of any such interest income
recognized by the Assuming Bank which is derived by multiplying:
(A) the
total amount of any such interest income recognized by the Assuming Bank during
such period with respect to that Shared-Loss Loan as described above, by
(B) a
fraction, the numerator of which is
the aggregate principal amount (excluding reversals or charge-offs of Accrued
Interest) of all such Failed Bank Charge-Offs/Write-Downs and Charge-Offs
effected by the Assuming Bank with respect to that Shared-Loss Loan plus the
principal amount of that Shared-Loss Loan that has not yet been charged-off but
has been placed on nonaccrual status, all of which occurred at any time prior to
or during the period in which the interest income referred to in subparagraph
(II)(A) immediately above was recognized, and the denominator of which
is the total amount of principal indebtedness (including all such prior Failed
Bank Charge-Offs/Write-Downs and Charge-Offs as described above) due from the
Obligor on that Shared-Loss Loan as of the end of such period;
provided, however, that the amount of
any interest income included as Recoveries for a particular Shared-Loss Loan
shall not exceed the aggregate amount of (a) Failed Bank
Charge-Offs/Write-Downs, (b) Charge-Offs effected by the Assuming Bank during or
prior to the period in which the amount of Recoveries is being determined, plus
(c) any Reimbursable Expenses and Recovery Expenses paid to the Assuming Bank
pursuant to this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement during or prior to the period
in which the amount of Recoveries is being determined, all with respect to that
particular Shared-Loss Loan; and, provided, further, that any collections
on any such Shared-Loss Loan that are not applied to reduce
book value of principal or recognized as interest income shall be applied
pursuant to subparagraph (I) above.
(III)
Notwithstanding subparagraphs (I) and (II) above, the term “Recoveries” shall
not include: (a) any amounts paid to the Assuming Bank by the Receiver pursuant
to Section 2.1 of this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement, (b) amounts received
with respect to Charge-Offs effected by the Assuming Bank after the final
Shared-Loss Quarter, (c) after the final Shared-Loss Quarter, income received by
the Assuming Bank from the operation of, and any gains recognized by the
Assuming Bank on the disposition of, Other Real Estate, Additional ORE or
Subsidiary ORE (such income and gains being hereinafter together referred to as
“ORE Income”), except to the extent
that aggregate ORE Income exceeds the aggregate expenses paid to third parties
by or on behalf of the Assuming Bank after the final Shared-Loss Quarter to
manage, operate and maintain Other Real Estate, Additional ORE or Subsidiary ORE
(such expenses being hereinafter referred to as “ORE Expenses”). In determining
the extent aggregate ORE Income exceeds aggregate ORE Expenses for any Recovery
Quarter as set forth immediately above in subparagraph (c), the Assuming Bank
will subtract (i) ORE Expenses paid to third parties during such Recovery
Quarter (provided, that, in the case of the final Recovery Quarter only, the
Assuming Bank will subtract ORE Expenses paid to third parties from the
beginning of the final Recovery Quarter up to the date the Assuming Bank is
required to deliver the final Quarterly Certificate pursuant to this Commercial
Shared-Loss Agreement) from (ii) ORE
Income received during such Recovery Quarter, to calculate net ORE income (“Net
ORE Income”) for that Recovery Quarter. If the amount of Net ORE Income so
calculated for a Recovery Quarter is positive, such amount shall be reported as
Recoveries on the Quarterly Certificate for such Recovery Quarter. If the amount
of Net ORE Income so calculated for a Recovery Quarter is negative (“Net ORE
Loss Carryforward”), such amount shall be added to any ORE Expenses paid to
third parties in the next succeeding Recovery Quarter, which sum shall then be
subtracted from ORE Income for that next succeeding Recovery Quarter, for the
purpose of determining the amount of Net ORE Income (or, if applicable, Net ORE
Loss Carryforward) for that next succeeding Recovery Quarter. If, as of the end
of the final Recovery Quarter, a Net ORE Loss Carryforward exists, then the
amount of the Net ORE Loss Carryforward that does not exceed the
aggregate amount of Net ORE Income reported as Recoveries on Quarterly
Certificates for all Recovery Quarters
may be included as a Recovery Expense on the Quarterly Certificate for the final
Recovery Quarter.
71
“Recovery
Amount” has the
meaning provided in Section 2.1(b)(ii) of this Commercial Shared-Loss
Agreement.
“Recovery
Expenses” means,

Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement, to recover amounts owed with respect to (i)
any Shared-Loss Asset as to which a Charge-Off was effected prior to the end of
the final Shared-Loss Quarter (provided that such amounts were incurred no
earlier than the date the first Charge-Off on such Shared-Loss Asset could have
been reflected on the Accounting Records of the Assuming Bank), and (ii) Failed
Bank Charge-Offs/Write-Downs (including, in each case, all costs and expenses
related to an Environmental Assessment and any other costs or expenses related
to any environmental conditions with respect to the Shared-Loss Assets (it being
understood that any remediation expenses for any such pollutant or contaminant
are not recoverable if in excess of $200,000 per Shared-Loss Asset, without the
Assuming Bank having obtained the prior consent of the Receiver for such
expenses); provided, that, so long as
income with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan is being prorated pursuant to the
arithmetical formula in subsection (II) of the definition of “Recoveries”, the
term “Recovery Expenses” shall not include that
portion of any such expenses paid during such Recovery Quarter to recover any
amounts owed on that Shared-Loss Loan that is derived by:
subtracting (1) the
product derived by multiplying:
(A) the
total amount of any such expenses paid by or on behalf of the Assuming Bank
during such Recovery Quarter with respect to that Shared-Loss Loan, by
72
(B) a
fraction, the numerator of which is
the aggregate principal amount (excluding reversals or charge-offs of Accrued
Interest) of all such Failed Bank Charge-Offs/Write-Downs and Charge-Offs
effected by the Assuming Bank with respect to that Shared-Loss Loan plus the
principal amount of that Shared-Loss Loan that has not yet been charged-off but
has been placed on nonaccrual status, all of which occurred at any time prior to
or during the period in which the interest income referred to in subparagraph
(II)(A) of the definition of “Recoveries” was recognized, and the denominator of which
is the total amount of principal indebtedness (including all such prior Failed
Bank Charge-Offs/Write-Downs and Charge-Offs as described above) due from the
Obligor on that Shared-Loss Loan as of the end of such period;
from (2) the total
amount of any such expenses paid during that Recovery Quarter with respect to
that Shared-Loss Loan.

Quarter” has the
meaning provided in Section 2.1(a)(ii) of this Commercial Shared-Loss
Agreement.

Expenses” means,
for any Shared-Loss Quarter, the amount of actual, reasonable and necessary
out-of-pocket expenses (other than Capitalized Expenditures), paid to third
parties (other than Affiliates of the Assuming Bank) by or on behalf of the
Assuming Bank, as limited by Sections 3.2(c) and (d) of Article III of this
Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement, to:
(i)
recover amounts owed with respect to any Shared-Loss Asset as to which a
Charge-Off has been effected prior to the end of the final Shared-Loss Quarter
(provided that such amounts were incurred no earlier than the date the first
Charge-Off on such Shared-Loss Asset could have been reflected on the Accounting
Records of the Assuming Bank) and recover amounts owed with respect to Failed
Bank Charge-Offs/Write-Downs (including, in each case, all costs and expenses
related to an Environmental Assessment and any other costs or expenses related
to any environmental conditions with respect to the Shared-Loss Assets (it being
understood that any such remediation expenses for any such pollutant or
contaminant are not recoverable if in excess of $200,000 per Shared-Loss Asset,
without the Assuming Bank having obtained the prior consent of the Receiver for
such expenses); provided, that, so long as
income with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan is being pro-rated pursuant to the
arithmetical formula in subsection (II) of the definition of “Recoveries”, the
term “Reimbursable Expenses” shall not include that
portion of any such expenses paid during such Shared-Loss Quarter to recover any
amounts owed on that Shared-Loss Loan that is derived by:
subtracting (1) the
product derived by multiplying:
(A) the
total amount of any such expenses paid by or on behalf of the Assuming Bank
during such Shared-Loss Quarter with respect to that Shared-Loss Loan, by
(B) a
fraction, the numerator of which is
the aggregate principal amount (excluding reversals or charge-offs of Accrued
Interest) of all such Failed Bank Charge-Offs/Write-Downs and Charge-Offs
effected by the Assuming Bank with respect to that Shared-Loss Loan plus the
principal amount of that Shared-Loss Loan that has not yet been charged-off but
has been placed on nonaccrual status, all of which occurred at any time prior to
or during the period in which the interest income referred to in subparagraph
(II)(A) of the definition of “Recoveries” was recognized, and the denominator of which
is the total amount of principal indebtedness (including all such prior Failed
Bank Charge-Offs/Write-Downs and Charge-Offs as described above) due from the
Obligor on that Shared-Loss Loan as of the end of such period;
73
from (2) the total
amount of any such expenses paid during that Shared-Loss Quarter with respect to
that Shared-Loss Loan; and
(ii)
manage, operate or maintain Other Real Estate, Additional ORE or Subsidiary ORE
less the amount
of any income received by the Assuming Bank during such Shared-Loss Quarter with
respect to such Other Real Estate, Additional ORE or Subsidiary ORE (which
resulting amount under this clause (ii) may be negative).

thereof plus any other fees or penalties due from an Obligor (including, subject
to the limitations discussed below, the amount of any Accrued Interest) stated
on the Accounting Records of the Assuming Bank, as of the date as of which the
Shared-Loss Asset Repurchase Price is being determined (regardless, in the case
of a Shared-Loss Loan, of the Legal Balance thereof) plus all Reimbursable
Expenses and Recovery Expenses incurred up to and through the date of
consummation of purchase of such Shared-Loss Asset; provided, that (i) in the case
of a Shared-Loss Loan there shall be excluded from such amount the amount of any
Accrued Interest accrued on or with respect to such Shared-Loss Loan prior to
the ninety (90)-day period ending on the day prior to the purchase date
determined pursuant to Sections 2.1(e)(i) or 2.1(e)(iii) of this Commercial
Shared-Loss Agreement, except to the extent such Accrued Interest was included
in the Book Value of such Shared-Loss Loan, and (ii) any collections on a
Shared-Loss Loan received by the Assuming Bank after the purchase date
applicable to such Shared-Loss Loan shall be applied (without duplication) to
reduce the Shared-Loss Asset Repurchase Price of such Shared-Loss Loan on a
dollar-for-dollar basis. For purposes of determining the amount of unpaid
interest which accrued during a given period with respect to a variable-rate
Shared-Loss Loan, all collections of interest shall be deemed to be applied to
unpaid interest in the chronological order in which such interest
accrued.

ARTICLE
II -- SHARED-LOSS ARRANGEMENT 2.1Shared-Loss
Arrangement.
(a) Quarterly
Certificates. (i) Not later than
thirty (30) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter from and including the
initial Calendar Quarter to and including the Calendar Quarter in which the
Applicable Anniversary of the Commencement Date falls (each of such Calendar
Quarters being referred to herein as a “Shared-Loss Quarter”), the Assuming Bank
shall deliver to the Receiver a certificate, signed by the Assuming Bank’s chief
executive officer and its chief financial officer, setting forth in such form
and detail as the Receiver may specify (a “Quarterly Certificate”):
(A) the
amount of Charge-Offs, the amount of Recoveries and the amount of Net
Charge-Offs (which amount may be negative) during such Shared-Loss Quarter with
respect to the Shared-Loss Assets (and for Recoveries, with respect to the
Assets for which a charge-off was effected by the Failed Bank prior to Bank
Closing); and
(B) the
aggregate amount of Reimbursable Expenses (which amount may be negative) during
such Shared-Loss Quarter; and
(C) net
realized loss on the Shared Loss MTM Assets determined pursuant to FAS 115,
expressed as a positive number (MTM Net Realized Loss), or net realized gain on
the Shared Loss MTM assets, expressed as a negative number (MTM Net Realized
Gain); and
(D) any
other than temporary impairment of the Shared Loss MTM Assets, determined
pursuant to FAS 115, expressed as a positive number (“OTTI Loss”) or reversals
of OTTI Loss, expressed as a negative number (for the avoidance of doubt, normal
and customary unrealized xxxx-to-market changes by reason of the application of
fair value accounting do not qualify for loss sharing payments).
(ii) Not
later than thirty (30) days after the end of each Calendar Quarter from and
including the first Calendar Quarter following the final Shared-Loss Quarter to
and including the Calendar Quarter in which the Termination Date falls (each of
such Calendar Quarters being referred to herein as a “Recovery Quarter”), the
Assuming Bank shall deliver to the Receiver a Quarterly Certificate setting
forth, in such form and detail as the Receiver may specify
76
(A) the
amount of Recoveries and Recovery Expenses during such Recovery Quarter. On the
Quarterly Certificate for the first Recovery
Quarter only, the Assuming
Bank may report as a separate item, in such form and detail as the Receiver may
specify, the aggregate amount of any Reimbursable Expenses that: (a) were
incurred prior to or during the final Shared-Loss Quarter, and (b) had not been included in
any Quarterly Certificate for any Shared-Loss Quarter because they had not been
actually paid by or on behalf of the Assuming Bank (in accordance with the terms
of this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement) during any Shared-Loss Quarter and (c) were actually
paid by or on behalf of the Assuming Bank (in accordance with the terms of this
Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement) during the first Recovery Quarter;
and
(B) net
realized gain on the Shared Loss MTM Assets.
(b)
Payments With Respect
to Shared-Loss Assets.
(i) For
purposes of this Section 2.1(b), the Assuming Bank shall initially record the
Shared-Loss Assets on its Accounting Records at Book Value, and initially record
the Shared Loss MTM Assets on its Accounting Records at Fair Value, and adjust
such amounts as such values may change after the Bank Closing. If the amount of
all Net Charge-Offs during any Shared-Loss Quarter plus Reimbursable
Expenses, plus
MTM Net Realized Gain or MTM Net Realized Loss, plus OTTI Loss during
such Shared-Loss Quarter (the “Shared-Loss Amount”) is positive, then, except as
provided in Sections 2.1(c) and (e) below, and subject to the provisions of
Section 2.1(b)(vi) below, not later than fifteen (15) days after the date on
which the Receiver receives the Quarterly Certificate with respect to such
Shared-Loss Quarter, the Receiver shall pay to the Assuming Bank an amount equal
to eighty percent (80%) of the Shared-Loss Amount for such Shared-Loss Quarter.
If the Shared-Loss Amount during any Shared-Loss Quarter is negative, the
Assuming Bank shall pay to the Receiver an amount equal to eighty percent (80%)
of the Shared-Loss Amount for such Shared-Loss Quarter, which payment shall be
delivered to the Receiver together with the Quarterly Certificate for such
Shared-Loss Quarter. When the cumulative Shared-Loss Amounts for all Shared-Loss
Quarters plus the Cumulative Loss Amount under the Single Family Shared-Loss
Agreement equals or exceeds the Stated Threshold, the Receiver shall pay to the
Assuming Bank an amount equal to ninety-five percent ((95%) of the Shared-Loss
Amount for each Shared-Loss Quarter, until such time as the cumulative
Shared-Loss Amount for all Shared-Loss Quarters is less than the Stated
Threshold, when the percentage shall revert back to eighty percent
(80%).
77
(ii) If
the amount of gross Recoveries during any Recovery Quarter less Recovery
Expenses during such Recovery Quarter plus net realized gains or reversals of
OTTI Loss on Shared Loss MTM Assets (the “Recovery Amount”) is positive, then,
simultaneously with its delivery of the Quarterly Certificate with respect to
such Recovery Quarter, the Assuming Bank shall pay to the Receiver an amount
equal to eighty percent (80%) of the Recovery Amount for such Recovery Quarter.
If the Recovery Amount is negative, then such negative amount shall be
subtracted from the amount of gross Recoveries during the next succeeding
Recovery Quarter in determining the Recovery Amount in such next succeeding
Recovery Quarter; provided, that this Section
2.1(b)(ii) shall operate successively in the event that the Recovery Amount
(after giving effect to this Section 2.1(b)(ii)) in such next succeeding
Recovery Quarter is negative. The Assuming Bank shall specify, in the Quarterly
Certificate for the final Recovery Quarter, the aggregate amount for all
Recovery Quarters only, as of the end of, and including, the final Recovery
Quarter of (A) Recoveries plus net realized gains or reversals of OTTI Loss on
Shared Loss MTM Assets (“Aggregate Recovery Period Recoveries”), (B) Recovery
Expenses (“Aggregate Recovery Expenses”), and (C) only those Recovery
Expenses that have been actually “offset” against Aggregate Recovery Period
Recoveries (including those so “offset” in that final Recovery Quarter)
(“Aggregate Offset Recovery Expenses”); as used in this sentence, the term
“offset” means the amount that has been applied to reduce gross Recoveries in
any Recovery Quarter pursuant to the methodology set forth in this Section
2.1(b)(ii). If, at the end of the final Recovery Quarter the amount of Aggregate
Recovery Expenses exceeds the amount of Aggregate Recovery Period Recoveries,
the Receiver shall have no obligation to pay to the Assuming Bank all or any
portion of such excess. Subsequent to the Assuming Bank’s calculation of the
Recovery Amount (if any) for the final Recovery Quarter, the Assuming Bank shall
also show on the Quarterly Certificate for the final Recovery Quarter the
results of the following three mathematical calculations: (i) Aggregate Recovery
Period Recoveries minus Aggregate
Offset Recovery Expenses; (ii) Aggregate Recovery Expenses minus Aggregate
Offset Recovery Expenses; and (iii) the lesser of the two
amounts calculated in (i) and (ii) immediately above (“Additional Recovery
Expenses”) multiplied
by 80% (the amount so calculated in (iii) being defined as the
“Additional Recovery Expense Amount”). If the Additional Recovery Expense Amount
is greater than zero, then the Assuming Bank may request in the Quarterly
Certificate for the final Recovery Quarter that the Receiver reimburse the
Assuming Bank the amount of the Additional Recovery Expense Amount and the
Receiver shall pay to the Assuming Bank the Additional Recovery Expense Amount
within fifteen (15) days after the date on which the Receiver receives that
Quarterly Certificate. On the Quarterly Certificate for the final Recovery
Quarter only, the Assuming Bank may include, in addition to any Recovery
Expenses for that Recovery Quarter that were paid by or on behalf of the
Assuming Bank in that Recovery Quarter, those Recovery Expenses that: (a) were
incurred prior to or during the final Recovery Quarter, and (b) had not been included in
any Quarterly Certificate for any Recovery Quarter because they had not been
actually paid by or on behalf of the Assuming Bank (in accordance with the terms
of this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement) during any Recovery Quarter, and (c) were actually
paid by or on behalf of the Assuming Bank (in accordance with the terms of this
Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement) prior to the date the Assuming Bank is
required to deliver that final Quarterly Certificate to the Receiver under the
terms of Section 2.1(a)(ii).
(iii)
With respect to each Shared-Loss Quarter and Recovery Quarter, collections by or
on behalf of the Assuming Bank on any charge-off effected by the Failed Bank
prior to Bank Closing on an Asset other than a Shared-Loss Asset or Shared-Loss
MTM Assets shall be reported as Recoveries under this Section 2.1 only to the
extent such collections exceed the Book Value of such Asset, if any. For any
Shared-Loss Quarter or Recovery Quarter in which collections by or on behalf of
the Assuming Bank on such Asset are applied to both Book Value and to a
charge-off effected by the Failed Bank prior to Bank Closing, the amount of
expenditures incurred by or on behalf of the Assuming Bank attributable to the
collection of any such Asset, that shall be considered a Reimbursable Expense or
a Recovery Expense under this Section 2.1 will be limited to a proportion of
such expenditures which is equal to the proportion derived by dividing (A) the
amount of collections on such Asset applied to a charge-off effected by the
Failed Bank prior to Bank Closing, by (B) the total collections on such
Assets.
78
(iv) If
the Assuming Bank has duly specified an amount of Reimbursable Expenses on the
Quarterly Certificate for the first Recovery Quarter as described above in the
last sentence of Section 2.1(a)(ii), then, not later than fifteen (15) days
after the date on which the Receiver receives that Quarterly Certificate, the
Receiver shall pay to the Assuming Bank an amount equal to eighty percent (80%)
(or, if the Cumulative Loss Amount under the Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement
plus the cumulative Shared-Loss Amount for all Shared-Loss Quarters equals or
exceeds the Stated Threshold, ninety-five percent (95%)) of the amount of such
Reimbursable Expenses.
(v) If
the First Loss Tranche as determined under the Purchase and Assumption Agreement
is a positive number, Receiver has no obligation to make payment for any Shared
Loss Quarters until the Shared-Loss Payment Trigger is satisfied.
(c) Limitation
on Shared-Loss Payment. The Receiver shall not
be required to make any payments pursuant to this Section 2.1 with respect to
any Charge-Off of a Shared-Loss Asset that the Receiver or the Corporation
determines, based upon the Examination Criteria, should not have been effected
by the Assuming Bank; provided, (x) the Receiver must provide notice to the
Assuming Bank detailing the grounds for not making such payment, (y) the
Receiver must provide the Assuming Bank with a reasonable opportunity to cure
any such deficiency and (z) (1) to the extent curable, if cured, the Receiver
shall make payment with respect to any properly effected Charge-Off and (2) to
the extent not curable, the Receiver shall make a payment as to all Charge-Offs
(or portion of Charge-Offs) that were effected which would have been payable as
a Charge-Off if the Assuming Bank had properly effected such Charge-Off. In the
event that the Receiver does not make any payments with respect to any
Charge-Off of a Shared-Loss Asset pursuant to this Section 2.1 or determines
that a payment was improperly made, the Assuming Bank and the Receiver shall,
upon final resolution, make such accounting adjustments and payments as may be
necessary to give retroactive effect to such corrections.
(d)
Sale of,
or Additional Advances or Amendments with Respect to, Shared-Loss
Loans and Administration of Related Loans. No Shared-Loss Loan
shall be treated as a Shared-Loss Asset pursuant to this Section 2.1 (i) if the
Assuming Bank sells or otherwise transfers such Shared-Loss Loan or any interest
therein (whether with or without recourse) to any Person, (ii) after the
Assuming Bank makes any additional advance, commitment or increase in the amount
of a commitment with respect to such Shared-Loss Loan that does not constitute a
Permitted Advance or a Shared-Loss Loan Commitment Advance, (iii) after the
Assuming Bank makes any amendment, modification, renewal or extension to such
Shared-Loss Loan that does not constitute a Permitted Amendment, or (iv) after
the Assuming Bank has managed, administered or collected any “Related Loan” (as
such term is defined in Section 3.4 of Article III of this Commercial
Shared-Loss Agreement) in any manner which would have the effect of increasing
the amount of any collections with respect to the Related Loan to the detriment
of such Shared-Loss Asset to which such loan is related; provided, that any such
Shared-Loss Loan that has been the subject of Charge-Offs prior to the taking of
any action described in clause (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 2.1(d)
by the Assuming Bank shall be treated as a Shared-Loss Asset pursuant to this
Section 2.1 solely for the purpose of treatment of Recoveries on such
Charge-Offs until such time as the amount of Recoveries with respect to such
Shared-Loss Asset equals such Charge-Offs.
79
(e) Option to
Purchase.
(i)
In
the event that the Assuming Bank determines that there is a substantial
likelihood that continued efforts to collect a Shared-Loss Asset or an Asset for
which a charge-off was effected by the Failed Bank with, in either case, a Legal
Balance of $500,000 or more on the Accounting Records of the Assuming Bank will
result in an expenditure, after Bank Closing, of funds by on behalf of the
Assuming Bank to a third party for a specified purpose (the expenditure of
which, in its best judgment, will maximize collections), which do not constitute
Reimbursable Expenses or Recovery Expenses, and such expenses will exceed ten
percent (10%) of the then book value thereof as reflected on the Accounting
Records of the Assuming Bank, the Assuming Bank shall (i) promptly so notify the
Receiver and (ii) request that such expenditure be treated as a Reimbursable
Expense or Recovery Expense for purposes of this Section 2.1. (Where the
Assuming Bank determines that there is a substantial likelihood that the
previously mentioned situation exists with respect to continued efforts to
collect a Shared-Loss Asset or an Asset for which a charge-off was effected by
the Failed Bank with, in either case, a Legal Balance of less than $1,000,000 on
the Accounting Records of the Assuming Bank, the Assuming Bank may so notify the
Receiver and request that such expenditure be treated as a Reimbursable Expense
or Recovery Expense.) Within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such a
notice, the Receiver will advise the Assuming Bank of its consent or denial,
that such expenditures shall be treated as a Reimbursable Expense or Recovery
Expense, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the failure of the Receiver to give
its consent with respect to such expenditures, the Assuming Bank shall continue
to administer such Shared-Loss Asset in accordance with Section 2.2, except that
the Assuming Bank shall not be required to make such expenditures. At any time
after its receipt of such a notice and on or prior to the Termination Date the
Receiver shall have the right to purchase such Shared-Loss Asset or Asset as
provided in Section 2.1(e)(iii), notwithstanding any consent by the Receiver
with respect to such expenditure.
(ii) During
the period prior to the Termination Date, the Assuming Bank shall notify the
Receiver within fifteen (15) days after any of the following becomes fully or
partially charged-off:
(A) a
Shared-Loss Loan having a Legal Balance (or, in the case of more than one (1)
Shared-Loss Loan made to the same Obligor, a combined Legal Balance) of $500,000
or more in circumstances in which the legal claim against the relevant Obligor
survives; or
(B) a
Shared-Loss Loan to a director, an “executive officer” as defined in 12 C.F.R. ,
215.2(d), a “principal shareholder” as defined in 12 C.F.R., 215.2(l), or an
Affiliate of the Assuming Bank.
80
(iii) If
the Receiver determines in its discretion that the Assuming Bank is not
diligently pursuing collection efforts with respect to any Shared-Loss Asset
which has been fully or partially charged-off or written-down (including any
Shared-Loss Asset which is identified or required to be identified in a notice
pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(ii)) or any Asset for which there exists a Failed
Bank Charge-Off/Write-Down, the Receiver may at its option, exercisable at any
time on or prior to the Termination Date, require the Assuming Bank to assign,
transfer and convey such Shared-Loss Asset or Asset to and for the sole benefit
of the Receiver for a price equal to the Shared-Loss Asset Repurchase Price
thereof less the Related Liability Amount with respect to any Related
Liabilities related to such Shared-Loss Asset or Asset.
(iv) Not
later than ten (10) days after the date upon which the Assuming Bank receives
notice of the Receiver’s intention to purchase or require the assignment of any
Shared-Loss Asset or Asset pursuant to Section 2.1(e)(i) or (iii), the Assuming
Bank shall transfer to the Receiver such Shared-Loss Asset or Asset and any
Credit Files relating thereto and shall take all such other actions as may be
necessary and appropriate to adequately effect the transfer of such Shared-Loss
Asset or Asset from the Assuming Bank to the Receiver. Not later than fifteen
(15) days after the date upon which the Receiver receives such Shared-Loss Asset
or Asset and any Credit Files relating thereto, the Receiver shall pay to the
Assuming Bank an amount equal to the Shared-Loss Asset Repurchase Price of such
Shared-Loss Asset or Asset less the Related Liability Amount.
(v) The
Receiver shall assume all Related Liabilities with respect to any Shared-Loss
Asset or Asset set forth in the notice described in Section
2.1(e)(iv).
(f)
Dispute
Resolution.
(i) (A)
Any dispute as to whether a Charge-Off of a Shared-Loss Asset was made in
accordance with Examination Criteria shall be resolved by the Assuming Bank’s
Chartering Authority. (B) With respect to any other dispute arising under the
terms of this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement which the parties hereto cannot
resolve after having negotiated such matter, in good faith, for a thirty (30)
day period, other than a dispute the Corporation is not permitted to submit to
arbitration under the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act of 1996 (“ADRA”), as
amended, such other dispute shall be resolved by determination of a review board
(a “Review Board”) established pursuant to Section 2.1(f). Any Review Board
under this Section 2.1(f) shall follow the provisions of the Federal Arbitration
Act and shall follow the provisions of the ADRA. (C) Any determination by the
Assuming Bank’s Chartering Authority or by a Review Board shall be conclusive
and binding on the parties hereto and not subject to further dispute, and
judgment may be entered on said determination in accordance with applicable
arbitration law in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(ii) A
Review Board shall consist of three (3) members, each of whom shall have such
expertise as the Corporation and the Assuming Bank agree is relevant. As
appropriate, the Receiver or the Corporation (the “FDIC Party”) will select one
member, one member will be selected by the Assuming Bank and the third member
(the “Neutral Member”) will be selected by the other two members. The member of
the Review Board selected by a party may be removed at any time by such party
upon two (2) days’ written notice to the other party of the selection of a
replacement member. The Neutral Member may be removed by unanimous action of the
members appointed by the FDIC Party and the Assuming Bank after two (2) days’
prior written notice to the FDIC Party and the Assuming Bank of the selection of
a replacement Neutral Member. In addition, if a Neutral Member fails for any
reason to serve or continue to serve on the Review Board, the other remaining
members shall so notify the parties to the dispute and the Neutral Member in
writing that such Neutral Member will be replaced, and the Neutral Member shall
thereafter be replaced by the unanimous action of the other remaining members
within twenty (20) business days of that notification.
81
(iii) No
dispute may be submitted to a Review Board by any of the parties to this
Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement unless such party has provided to the other
party a written notice of dispute (“Notice of Dispute”). During the forty-five
(45)-day period following the providing of a Notice of Dispute, the parties to
the dispute will make every effort in good faith to resolve the dispute by
mutual agreement. As part of these good faith efforts, the parties should
consider the use of less formal dispute resolution techniques, as judged
appropriate by each party in its sole discretion. Such techniques may include,
but are not limited to, mediation, settlement conference, and early neutral
evaluation. If the parties have not agreed to a resolution of the dispute by the
end of such forty-five (45)-day period, then, subject to the discretion of the
Corporation and the written consent of the Assuming Bank as set forth in Section
2.1(f)(i)(B) above, on the first day following the end of such period, the FDIC
Party and the Assuming Bank shall notify each other of its selection of its
member of the Review Board and such members shall be instructed to promptly
select the Neutral Member of the Review Board. If the members appointed by the
FDIC Party and the Assuming Bank are unable to promptly agree upon the initial
selection of the Neutral Member, or a timely replacement Neutral Member as set
forth in Section 2.1(f)(ii) above, the two appointed members shall apply to the
American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), and such Neutral Member shall be
appointed in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the
AAA.
(iv) The
resolution of a dispute pursuant to this Section 2.1(f) shall be governed by the
Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA to the extent that such rules are not
inconsistent with this Section 2.1(f). The Review Board may modify the
procedures set forth in such rules from time to time with the prior approval of
the FDIC Party and the Assuming Bank.
(v)
Within
fifteen (15) days after the last to occur of the final written submissions of
both parties, the presentation of witnesses, if any, and oral presentations, if
any, the Review Board shall adopt the position of one of the parties and shall
present to the parties a written award regarding the dispute. The determination
of any two (2) members of a Review Board will constitute the determination of
such Review Board.
(vi) The
FDIC Party and the Assuming Bank will each pay the fees and expenses of the
member of the Review Board selected by it. The FDIC Party and Assuming Bank will
share equally the fees and expenses of the Neutral Member. No such fees or
expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Assuming Bank shall be subject to
reimbursement by the FDIC Party under this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement or
otherwise.
82
(vii)
Each party will bear all costs and expenses incurred by it in connection with
the submission of any dispute to a Review Board. No such costs or expenses
incurred by or on behalf of the Assuming Bank shall be subject to reimbursement
by the FDIC Party under this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement or otherwise. The
Review Board shall have no authority to award costs or expenses incurred by
either party to these proceedings.
(viii)
Any dispute resolution proceeding held pursuant to this Section 2.1(f) shall not
be public. In addition, each party and each member of any Review Board shall
strictly maintain the confidentiality of all issues, disputes, arguments,
positions and interpretations of any such proceeding, as well as all
information, attachments, enclosures, exhibits, summaries, compilations,
studies, analyses, notes, documents, statements, schedules and other similar
items associated therewith, except as the parties agree in writing or such
disclosure is required pursuant to law, rule or regulation. Pursuant to ADRA,
dispute resolution communications may not be disclosed either by the parties or
by any member of the Review board unless:
(1) all
parties to the dispute resolution proceeding agree in writing;
(2) the
communication has already been made public;
(3) the
communication is required by statute, rule or regulation to be made public;
or
(4) a
court determines that such testimony or disclosure is necessary to prevent a
manifest injustice, help establish a violation of the law or prevent harm to the
public health or safety, or of sufficient magnitude in the particular case to
outweigh the integrity of dispute resolution proceedings in general by reducing
the confidence of parties in future cases that their communications will remain
confidential.
(ix) Any
dispute resolution proceeding pursuant to this Section 2.1(f) (whether as a
matter of good faith negotiations, by resort to a Review Board, or otherwise) is
a compromise negotiation for purposes of the Federal Rules of Evidence and state
rules of evidence. The parties agree that all proceedings, including any
statement made or document prepared by any party, attorney or other participants
are privileged and shall not be disclosed in any subsequent proceeding or
document or construed for any purpose as an admission against interest. Any
document submitted and any statements made during any dispute resolution
proceeding are for settlement purposes only. The parties further agree not to
subpoena any of the members of the Review Board or any documents submitted to
the Review Board. In no event will the Neutral Member voluntarily testify on
behalf of any party.
(x) No
decision, interpretation, determination, analysis, statement, award or other
pronouncement of any Review Board shall constitute precedent as regards any
subsequent proceeding (whether or not such proceeding involves dispute
resolution under this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement) nor shall any Review
Board be bound to follow any decision, interpretation, determination, analysis,
statement, award or other pronouncement rendered by any previous Review Board or
any other previous dispute resolution panel which may have convened in
connection with a transaction involving other failed financial institutions or
Federal assistance transactions.
83
(xi) The
parties may extend any period of time in this Section 2.1(f) by mutual
agreement. Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, no dispute shall be
submitted to a Review Board until each member of the Review Board, and any
substitute member, if applicable, agrees to be bound by the provisions of this
Section 2.1(f) as applicable to members of a Review Board. Prior to the
commencement of the Review Board proceedings, or, in the case of a substitute
Neutral Member, prior to the re-commencement of such proceedings subsequent to
that substitution, the Neutral Member shall provide a written oath of
impartiality.
(xii) For
the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
the event any notice of dispute is provided to a party under this Section 2.1(g)
prior to the Termination Date, the terms of this Commercial Shared-Loss
Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to any such items set forth in
such notice until such time as any such dispute with respect to such item is
finally resolved.
2.2 Administration
of Shared-Loss Assets. The Assuming Bank shall
at all times prior to the Termination Date comply with the Rules Regarding the
Administration of Shared-Loss Assets as set forth in Article III of this
Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement.
2.3 Auditor Report; Right to
Audit.
(a)
Within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year from and including the
fiscal year during which Bank Closing falls to and including the calendar year
during which the Termination Date falls, the Assuming Bank shall deliver to the
Corporation and to the Receiver a report signed by its independent public
accountants stating that they have reviewed the terms of this Commercial
Shared-Loss Agreement and that, in the course of their annual audit of the
Assuming Bank’s books and records, nothing has come to their attention
suggesting that any computations required to be made by the Assuming Bank during
such year by this Article II were not made by the Assuming Bank in accordance
herewith. In the event that the Assuming Bank cannot comply with the preceding
sentence, it shall promptly submit to the Receiver corrected computations
together with a report signed by its independent public accountants stating
that, after giving effect to such corrected computations, nothing has come to
their attention suggesting that any computations required to be made by the
Assuming Bank during such year by this Article II were not made by the Assuming
Bank in accordance herewith. In such event, the Assuming Bank and the Receiver
shall make all such accounting adjustments and payments as may be necessary to
give effect to each correction reflected in such corrected computations,
retroactive to the date on which the corresponding incorrect computation was
made. It is the intention of this provision to align the timing of the audit
required under this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement with the examination audit
required pursuant to 12 CFR Section 363.
(b)
The
Assuming Bank shall perform on an annual basis an internal audit of its
compliance with the provisions of this Article II and shall provide the Receiver
and the Corporation with copies of the internal audit reports and access to
internal audit workpapers related to such internal audit.
84
(c) The
Receiver or the Corporation may perform an audit to determine the Assuming
Bank’s compliance with the provisions of this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement,
including this Article II, at any time by providing not less than ten (10)
Business Days prior written notice. The scope and duration of any such audit
shall be within the discretion of the Receiver or the Corporation, as the case
may be, but shall in no event be administered in a manner that unreasonably
interferes with the operation of the Assuming Bank’s business. The Receiver or
the Corporation, as the case may be, shall bear the expense of any such audit.
In the event that any corrections are necessary as a result of such an audit,
the Assuming Bank and the Receiver shall make such accounting adjustments and
payments as may be necessary to give retroactive effect to such
corrections.
2.4 Withholdings. Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Article II, the Receiver, upon the direction of the
Director (or designee) of the Corporation’s Division of Resolutions and
Receiverships, may withhold payment for any amounts included in a Quarterly
Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.1, if, in its judgment, there is a
reasonable basis under the terms of this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement for
denying the eligibility of an item for which reimbursement or payment is sought
under such Section. In such event, the Receiver shall provide a written notice
to the Assuming Bank detailing the grounds for withholding such payment. At such
time as the Assuming Bank demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Receiver that
the grounds for such withholding of payment, or portion of payment, no longer
exist or have been cured, then the Receiver shall pay the Assuming Bank the
amount withheld which the Receiver determines is eligible for payment, within
fifteen (15) Business Days. In the event the Receiver or the Assuming Bank
elects to submit the issue of the eligibility of the item for reimbursement or
payment for determination under the dispute resolution procedures of Section
2.1(f), then (i) if the dispute is settled by the mutual agreement of the
parties in accordance with Section 2.1(f)(iii), the Receiver shall pay the
amount withheld (to the extent so agreed) within fifteen (15) Business Days from
the date upon which the dispute is determined by the parties to be resolved by
mutual agreement, and (ii) if the dispute is resolved by the determination of a
Review Board, the Receiver shall pay the amount withheld (to the extent so
determined) within fifteen (15) Business Days from the date upon which the
Receiver is notified of the determination by the Review Board of its obligation
to make such payment. Any payment by the Receiver pursuant to this Section 2.4
shall be made together with interest on the amount thereof from the date the
payment was agreed or determined otherwise to be due, at the interest rate per
annum determined by the Receiver to be equal to the coupon equivalent of the
three (3)-month U.S. Treasury Xxxx Rate in effect as of the first Business Day
of each Calendar Quarter during which such interest accrues as reported in the
Federal Reserve Board’s Statistical Release for Selected Interest Rates H.15
opposite the caption “Auction Average - 3-Month” or, if not so reported for such
day, for the next preceding Business Day for which such rate was so
reported.
2.5 Books and
Records. The
Assuming Bank shall at all times during the term of this Commercial Shared-Loss
Agreement keep books and records which fairly present all dealings and
transactions carried out in connection with its business and affairs. Except as
otherwise provided for in the Purchase and Assumption Agreement or this
Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement, all financial books and records shall be kept
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently
applied for the periods involved and in a manner such that information necessary
to determine compliance with any requirement of the Purchase and Assumption
Agreement or this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement will be readily obtainable,
and in a manner such that the purposes of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement
or this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement may be effectively accomplished.
Without the prior written approval of the Corporation, the Assuming Bank shall
not make any change in its accounting principles adversely affecting the value
of the Shared-Loss Assets except as required by a change in generally accepted
accounting principles. The Assuming Bank shall notify the Corporation of any
change in its accounting principles affecting the Shared-Loss Assets which it
believes are required by a change in generally accepted accounting
principles.
85
2.6 Information. The Assuming Bank shall
promptly provide to the Corporation such other information, including financial
statements and computations, relating to the performance of the provisions
of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement or otherwise relating to its business
and affairs or this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement, as the Corporation or the
Receiver may request from time to time.
2.7 Tax
Ruling. The
Assuming Bank shall not at any time, without the Corporation’s prior written
consent, seek a private letter ruling or other determination from the Internal
Revenue Service or otherwise seek to qualify for any special tax treatment or
benefits associated with any payments made by the Corporation pursuant to the
Purchase and Assumption Agreement or this Commercial Shared-Loss
Agreement.

Subject to Section 3.7, the Assuming Bank shall not contract with third parties

Recovery Expense if the Assuming Bank would have provided such services itself
if the relevant Shared-Loss Assets were not subject to the loss-sharing
provisions of Section 2.1 of this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement.
3.3
Duties of the Assuming
Bank with Respect to Shared-Loss MTM Assets.
(a) In
performance of its duties under these Rules, the Assuming Bank
shall:
(i)
manage, administer, collect and each Shared-Loss MTM Asset in a manner
consistent with (A) usual and prudent business and banking practices; (B) the

involving self-dealing, shall be subject to the prior written approval of the
Receiver or the Corporation.
(c) The
Assuming Bank shall not contract with third parties to provide services the cost
of which would be a Reimbursable Expense or Recovery Expense if the Assuming

were not subject to the loss-sharing provisions of Section 2.1 of this
Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement.
3.4 Records
and Reports. The Assuming Bank shall
establish and maintain records on a separate general ledger, and on such
subsidiary ledgers as may be appropriate to account for the Shared-Loss Assets

the Receiver or the Corporation such reports as the Receiver or the Corporation
may from time to time request regarding the Shared-Loss Assets, the Shared-Loss
MTM Assets and the Quarterly Certificates required by Section 2.1 of this
Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement.
3.5 Related
Loans.
(a)
The
Assuming Bank shall not manage, administer or collect any “Related Loan” in any
manner which would have the effect of increasing the amount of any collections
with respect to the Related Loan to the detriment of the Shared-Loss Asset to
which such loan is related. A “Related Loan” means any loan or extension of
credit held by the Assuming Bank at any time on or prior to the end of the final
Recovery Quarter that is: (i) made to the same Obligor with respect to a Loan
that is a Shared-Loss Asset or with respect to a Loan from which Other Real
Estate, Additional ORE or Subsidiary ORE derived, or (ii) attributable to the
same primary Obligor with respect to any Loan described in clause (i) under the

limits of financial institutions organized under its jurisdiction as in effect
on the Commencement Date, as applied to the Assuming Bank.
(b) The
Assuming Bank shall prepare and deliver to the Receiver with the Quarterly
Certificates for the Calendar Quarters ending June 30 and December 31 for all

real estate loans attributable to the same Obligor on such loans of $500,000 or
more.
89
3.6 Legal
Action; Utilization of Special Receivership Powers. The Assuming Bank shall
notify the Receiver in writing (such notice to be given in accordance with
Article IV below and to include all relevant details) prior to utilizing in any
legal action any special legal power or right which the Assuming Bank derives as
a result of having acquired a Shared-Loss Asset from the Receiver, and the
Assuming Bank shall not utilize any such power unless the Receiver shall have
consented in writing to the proposed usage. The Receiver shall have the right to
direct such proposed usage by the Assuming Bank and the Assuming Bank shall
comply in all respects with such direction. Upon request of the Receiver, the
Assuming Bank will advise the Receiver as to the status of any such legal
action. The Assuming Bank shall immediately notify the Receiver of any judgment
in litigation involving any of the aforesaid special powers or
rights.
3.7 Third
Party Servicer. The Assuming Bank may
perform any of its obligations and/or exercise any of its rights under this
Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement through or by one or more Third Party
Servicers, who may take actions and make expenditures as if any such Third Party
Servicer was the Assuming Bank hereunder (and, for the avoidance of doubt, such
expenses incurred by any such Third Party Servicer on behalf of the Assuming
Bank shall be Reimbursable Expenses or Recovery Expenses, as the case may be, to
the same extent such expenses would so qualify if incurred by the Assuming
Bank); provided, however, that the use thereof by the Assuming Bank shall not
release the Assuming Bank of any obligation or liability hereunder.
ARTICLE
IV -- PORTFOLIO SALE
4.1 Assuming
Bank Portfolio Sales of Remaining Shared-Loss Assets. The Assuming Bank shall
have the right with the concurrence of the Receiver, commencing as of the first
day of the third to last Shared-Loss Quarter, to liquidate for cash
consideration, in one or more transactions, all or a portion of Shared-Loss
Assets held by the Assuming Bank (“Portfolio Sales”). If the Assuming Bank
exercises its option under this Section 4.1, it must give thirty (30) days
notice in writing to the Receiver setting forth the details and schedule for the
Portfolio Sale which shall be conducted by means of sealed bid sales to third
parties, not including any of the Assuming Bank’s affiliates, contractors, or
any affiliates of the Assuming Bank’s contractors.
4.2 Calculation
of Sale Gain or Loss. For Shared-Loss Assets
gain or loss on the sales under Section 4.1 will be calculated as the sale price
received by the Assuming Bank less the book value of the remaining Shared-Loss
Assets.
ARTICLE
V -- LOSS-SHARING NOTICES GIVEN TO CORPORATION AND/OR
RECEIVER

As a
supplement to the notice provisions contained in Section 13.7 of the Purchase
and Assumption Agreement, any notice, request, demand, consent, approval, or

ARTICLE
VI – MISCELLANEOUS
6.1 Expenses. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses incurred by a party hereto in
connection with this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement shall be borne by such
party whether or not the transactions contemplated herein shall be
consummated.
6.2 Successors
and Assigns; Specific Performance. All terms and provisions
of this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure
to the benefit of the parties hereto only; provided, however, that,
Receiver may assign or otherwise transfer this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement
(in whole or in part) to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation in its
corporate capacity without the consent of Assuming Bank. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement,
except as is expressly permitted in this Section 6.2, Assuming Bank may not
assign or otherwise transfer this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement (in whole or
in part) without the prior written consent of the Receiver, which consent may be
granted or withheld by the Receiver in its sole discretion, and any attempted
assignment or transfer in violation of this provision shall be void ab initio.
For the avoidance of doubt, a merger or consolidation of the Assuming
Bank with and into another financial institution, the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Assuming Bank to another financial
institution constitutes the transfer of this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement
which requires the consent of the Receiver; and for a period of thirty-six (36)
months after Bank Closing, a merger or consolidation shall also include the sale
by any individual shareholder, or shareholders acting in concert, of more than
9% of the outstanding shares of the Assuming Bank, or of its holding company
(except if the holding company is publicly held), or of any subsidiary holding
Shared-Loss Assets, or the sale of shares by the Assuming Bank or its holding
company or any subsidiary holding Shared-Loss Assets, in a public or private
offering, that increases the number of shares outstanding by more than 9%,
constitutes the transfer of this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement which requires
the consent of the Receiver. However, no Loss shall be recognized as a result of
any accounting adjustments that are made due to any such merger, consolidation
or sale consented to by the FDIC. The FDIC’s consent shall not be required if
the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Shared-Loss Assets is less than
twenty percent (20%) of the initial aggregate balance of Shared-Loss
Assets.
91
6.3 Governing
Law. This
Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement shall be construed in accordance with federal
law, or, if there is no applicable federal law, the laws of the State of New
York, without regard to any rule of conflict of law that would result in the
application of the substantive law of any jurisdiction other than the State of
New York.
6.4 WAIVER OF
JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN OR TO HAVE
A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM,
WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO
OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS COMMERCIAL SHARED-LOSS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
6.5 Captions. All captions and
headings contained in this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement are for convenience
of reference only and do not form a part of, and shall not affect the meaning or
interpretation of, this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement.
6.6 Entire
Agreement; Amendments. This Commercial
Shared-Loss Agreement, along with the Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement and
the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, including the Exhibits and any other
documents delivered pursuant hereto, embody the entire agreement of the parties
with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all prior
representations, warranties, offers, acceptances, agreements and understandings,
written or oral, relating to the subject matter herein. This Commercial
Shared-Loss Agreement may be amended or modified or any provision thereof waived
only by a written instrument signed by both parties or their respective duly
authorized agents.
6.7 Severability. Whenever possible, each
provision of this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement shall be interpreted in such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid,
illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, such provision shall be construed
and enforced as if it had been more narrowly drawn so as not to be prohibited,
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, and the validity, legality and enforceability
of the remainder of such provision and the remaining provisions of this
Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby.
92
6.8 No Third
Party Beneficiary. This Commercial
Shared-Loss Agreement and the Exhibits hereto are for the sole and exclusive
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and
permitted assigns and there shall be no other third party beneficiaries, and
nothing in Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement or the Exhibits shall be construed
to grant to any other Person any right, remedy or claim under or in respect of
this Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement or any provision hereof.
6.9 Consent. Except as otherwise
provided herein, when the consent of a party is required
herein, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
6.10 Rights
Cumulative. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the rights of each of the parties under this
Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised as often as any party considers
appropriate and are in addition to each such party’s rights under the
Purchase and Sale Agreement and any of the related agreements or under law.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any failure to exercise or any
delay in exercising any of such rights, or any partial or defective exercise of
such rights, shall not operate as a waiver or variation of that or any other
such right.
