Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definition Agreement

On January 27, 2010, Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Flagstar Bank, F.S.B. (the “Bank”), each entered into a Supervisory Agreement with the Office of Thrift Supervision (the “OTS”), whereby the Company and the Bank each agreed to take certain actions to address certain banking issues identified by the OTS. The description of the Supervisory Agreement between the Bank and the OTS (the “Bank Supervisory Agreement”) is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Bank Supervisory Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by reference. The description of Supervisory Agreement between the Company and the OTS (the “Company Supervisory Agreement,” and together with the Bank Supervisory Agreement, the “Agreements”) is qualified in its entirety by reference to such Company Supervisory Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2, and is incorporated herein by reference.

The Bank Supervisory Agreement requires the Bank to take the following actions:

	•		prepare a new business plan that will include the requirements contained in the Bank Supervisory Agreement and that also will include, among other things, operating strategies to achieve increased core deposits, realistic core earnings and net income levels which will result in profitability and capital preservation and enhancement strategies;
	•		within 60 days, implement a written plan to reduce the level of assets classified as doubtful or substandard to certain quarterly targets as a percentage of core capital plus allowance for loan and lease losses;
	•		within 60 days, adopt revisions to the Bank’s policies and procedures governing loan administration;
	•		within 30 days, adopt revisions to the Bank’s liquidity risk management program that enhance the continuous identification and monitoring of current and projected funding needs and access to funds to meet those needs;
	•		within 60 days, adopt specific timelines for the remediation of certain issues related to market risk exposure, within 90 days, engage a qualified and independent third party to perform a model valuation and prepare a model valuation reports with 180 days;
	•		within 30 day, revise the Bank’s asset concentration policy to establish the existing concentration limit for mortgage servicing rights at a level consistent with the business plan;
	•		within 90 days, adopt specific timeframes for the remediation of certain issues related to mortgage servicing rights;
	•		within 90 days, establish a new written consumer compliance program that is appropriate for the Bank’s size, complexity, product lines and business operations and designed to ensure compliance with all applicable consumer and other compliance laws and regulations;
	•		within 90 days, revise the Bank’s policies, procedures and systems for compliance with flood insurance requirements;
	•		within 90 days, conduct a review of all loans originated after September 30, 2008 for compliance with flood insurance requirements;
	•		within 30 days, adopt specific actions and timeframes to addresses certain matters in the Bank’s report of examination;
	•		restrict quarterly asset growth to an amount not to exceed net interest credited on deposit liabilities until the OTS approves of the new business plan;

	•		not declare or pay dividends or make any other capital distributions from the Bank without receiving prior OTS approval;
	•		not make any severance or indemnification payments without complying with regulatory requirements regarding such payments;
	•		comply with prior regulatory notification requirements for any changes in directors or senior executive officers;
	•		not enter into, renew, extend or revise any contractual arrangement relating to compensation or benefits for any senior executive officer or director of the Bank, without first providing 30 days prior written regulatory notice of the proposed transaction;
	•		not increase any salaries, bonuses or director’s fees or make any similar payments to directors or senior executive officers without the prior written consent of the OTS; and
	•		not enter into any arrangement or contract with a third party service provider that is significant to the overall operation or financial condition of the Bank or outside the Bank’s normal course of business without prior OTS non-objection (a contract will be considered significant where the annual contract amount equals or exceeds 2% of the Bank’s total capital).

The Company Supervisory Agreement requires the Company to take the following actions:

	•		with in 45 days, submit a capital plan that includes, among other things, (i) the establishment of a minimum tangible capital ratio of tangible equity capital to total tangible assets commensurate with the Company’s consolidated risk profile, (ii) special plans to ensure compliance with the Bank’s business plan, including capital levels projected by the Bank and (iii) operating strategies to achieve net income levels that will result in profitability and adequate debt service;
	•		not declare, make or pay any cash dividends or other capital distributions or purchase, repurchase or redeem or commit to purchase, repurchase or redeem any Company equity stock without the prior non-objection of the OTS;
	•		not incur, issue, renew, roll over or increase any debt or commit to do so without the prior non-objection of the OTS (debt includes loans, bonds, cumulative preferred stock, hybrid capital instruments such as subordinated debt or trust preferred securities, and guarantees of debt);
	•		not engage in transactions with any subsidiary or affiliate without the prior non-objection of the OTS except certain transactions exempt under applicable regulations and intercompany cost-sharing transactions; and
	•		comply with similar restrictions on the payment of severance and indemnification payments, prior OTS approval of directorate and management changes and prior OTS approval of employment contracts and compensation arrangements contained in the Bank Supervisory Agreement.

The Company and the Bank have complied to date with, and intend to comply in the future with, all of the requirements of the Agreements. Pursuant to the Bank Supervisory Agreement, the Bank submitted a business plan to, and received non-objection from, the OTS and expects to comply with the remaining requirements within the time periods specified therein. Pursuant to the Company Supervisory Agreement, the Company will submit a capital plan to the OTS within 45 days and expects to comply with the remaining requirements within the time periods specified therein. The Company believes that the Agreements should not materially constrain management’s ability to implement the business plan.

The Agreements will remain in effect until terminated, modified, or suspended in writing by the OTS. The failure to comply with the Agreements could result in the initiation of further enforcement action by the OTS, including the

imposition of further operating restrictions and result in additional enforcement actions against us. We have incurred, and expect to continue to incur, significant additional regulatory compliance expense in connection with the Agreements.
