ARTICLE III.                                        PURCHASE OF ASSETS.

 

3.1.                            Assets Purchased by Assuming Institution. With the exception of certain assets expressly excluded in Sections 3.5 and 3.6 and, if applicable, listed on Schedule 3.5(l) the

 

12



 

Assuming Institution hereby purchases from the Receiver, and the Receiver hereby sells, assigns, transfers, conveys and delivers to the Assuming Institution, all right, title and interest of the Receiver in and to all of the assets (real, personal and mixed, wherever located and however acquired) including all subsidiaries, joint ventures, partnerships and any and all other business combinations or arrangements, whether active, inactive, dissolved or terminated, of the Failed Bank whether or not reflected on the books of the Failed Bank as of the Bank Closing Date. Assets are purchased hereunder by the Assuming Institution subject to all liabilities for indebtedness collateralized by Liens affecting such Assets to the extent provided in Section 2.1.

 

3.2.                            Asset Purchase Price.

 

(a)                                 Determination of Asset Purchase Price. All Assets and assets of the Failed Bank subject to an option to purchase by the Assuming Institution shall be purchased for the amount, or the amount resulting from the method specified for determining the amount, as specified on Schedule 3.2, except as otherwise may be provided herein. Any Asset, asset of the Failed Bank subject to an option to purchase or other asset purchased for which no purchase price is specified on Schedule 3.2 or otherwise herein shall be purchased at its Book Value. The purchase price for Acquired Subsidiaries shall be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.6(i)(iv), if applicable.

 

(b)                                 Purchase Price for Securities. The purchase price for any security (other than the capital stock of any Acquired Subsidiary) purchased under Section 3.1 by the Assuming Institution shall consist of the market price (as defined below) of the security as of the Bank Closing Date, multiplied by the Failed Bank’s ownership interest in the security (see Calculation of Purchase Price below) and shall include accrued interest, where applicable, as noted below.

 

(i)                                     Definition of Market Price: The market price for any security shall be (i) the market price for that security quoted at the close of the trading day effective on the Bank Closing Date as published electronically by Bloomberg, L.P., or alternatively, at the discretion of the Receiver, by IDC/Financial Times (FT) Interactive Data; (ii) provided that if such market price is not available for such security, the Assuming Institution will submit a written purchase price bid for such security within three days of notification/bid request by the Receiver (unless a different time period is agreed to by the Assuming Institution and the Receiver) and the Receiver, in its sole and absolute discretion, will accept or reject each such purchase price bid; (iii) further provided that in the absence of an acceptable bid from the Assuming Institution, or in the event that a security is deemed essential to the Receiver as determined by the Receiver in its discretion (see Section 3.6 Retention or Repurchase of Assets Essential to the Receiver) such security shall not pass to the Assuming Institution and shall be deemed to be an excluded asset hereunder and listed on Schedule 3.5(l).

 

(ii)                                  Calculation of Purchase Price. The bank’s ownership interest in a security will be quantified one of two ways: (i) number of shares or other units, as applicable (in the case of equity securities) or (ii) par value or notational amount, as applicable (in the case of non-equity securities). As a result, the purchase price (except where determined pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph) shall be calculated one of two ways, depending on whether or not the security is an equity security: (i) the purchase price for an equity security shall be calculated by multiplying the number of shares or other units by the applicable market price per unit; and (ii) the purchase price

 

13



 

for a non-equity security shall be an amount equal to the applicable market price (expressed as a decimal), multiplied by the par value for such security (based on the payment factor most recently widely available). The purchase price also shall include accrued interest as calculated below (see Calculation of Accrued Interest), except to the extent the parties may otherwise expressly agree, pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph. If the factor used to determine the par value of any security for purposes of calculating the purchase price, is not for the period in which the Bank Closing Date occurs, then the purchase price for that security shall be subject to adjustment post-closing based on a “cancel and correct” procedure. Under this procedure, after such current factor becomes publicly available, the Receiver will recalculate the purchase price utilizing the current factor and related interest rate, and will notify the Assuming Institution of any difference and of the applicable amount due from one party to the other. Such amount will then be paid as part of the settlement process pursuant to Article VIII.

 

(iii)                               Calculation of Accrued Interest for Securities: Accrued interest shall be calculated for a non-equity security by multiplying the interest rate (expressed as a decimal point) paid on the security as then most recently publicly available, by the most recent par value (or notational amount, as applicable) of that security, multiplied by the number of days from and including the first interest day of the accrual period in which the Bank Closing Date occurs, through the Bank Closing Date.

 

(c)                                  Purchase Price for Qualified Financial Contracts. Qualified Financial Contracts shall be purchased at market value determined in accordance with the terms of Exhibit 3.2(c). Any costs associated with such valuation shall be shared equally by the Receiver and the Assuming Institution.

 

3.3.                            Manner of Conveyance; Limited Warranty; Nonrecourse; Etc. THE CONVEYANCE OF ALL ASSETS, INCLUDING REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY INTERESTS, PURCHASED BY THE ASSUMING INSTITUTION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE MADE, AS NECESSARY, BY RECEIVER’S DEED OR RECEIVER’S BILL OF SALE, AS IS, WHERE IS, WITHOUT RECOURSE AND, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ASSETS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO TITLE, VALUE, COLLECTIBILITY, GENUINENESS, ENFORCEABILITY, DOCUMENTATION, CONDITION OR FREEDOM FROM LIENS OR ENCUMBRANCES (IN WHOLE OR IN PART), OR ANY OTHER MATTERS.

 

3.4.                            Puts of Assets to the Receiver.

 

(a)                                 Puts Within 30 Days After the Bank Closing Date. During the thirty (30)-day period following the Bank Closing Date and only during such period (which thirty (30)-day period may be extended in writing in the sole and absolute discretion of the Receiver for any Loan), in accordance with this Section 3.4, the Assuming Institution shall be entitled to require the Receiver to purchase any New Loans and any Deposit Secured Loan transferred to the Assuming Institution pursuant to Section 3.1 which is not fully secured by Assumed Deposits or deposits at other insured depository institutions due to either insufficient Assumed Deposit or deposit collateral or deficient documentation regarding such collateral; provided that with regard to any Deposit Secured Loan secured by an Assumed Deposit:

 

14



 

(i)                                     no such purchase may be required until any Deposit setoff determination, whether voluntary or involuntary, has been made; and

 

(ii)                                  the Assuming Institution shall be entitled to require the Receiver to purchase, within forty (40) days from Bank Closing Date, any Eligible Overdraft transferred to the Assuming Institution pursuant to Section 3.1 which existed on the thirtieth (30th) day following the Bank Closing Date.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assuming Institution shall not have the right to require the Receiver to purchase any Loan if (i) the Obligor with respect to such Loan is an Acquired Subsidiary, or (ii) the Assuming Institution has:

 

(A)                               made any advance in accordance with the terms of a Commitment or otherwise with respect to such Loan;

(E)                                sold, assigned or transferred all or a portion of such Loan to a third party (whether with or without recourse).

 

(iii)                               The Assuming Institution shall transfer all such Assets to the Receiver without recourse, and shall indemnify the Receiver against any and all claims of any Person claiming by, through or under the Assuming Institution with respect to any such Asset, as provided in Section 12.4.

 

(b)                                 Puts Prior to the Settlement Date. During the period from the Bank Closing Date to and including the Business Day immediately preceding the Settlement Date, the Assuming Institution shall be entitled to require the Receiver to purchase any Asset which the Assuming Institution can establish is evidenced by forged or stolen instruments as of the Bank Closing Date; provided that the Assuming Institution shall not have the right to require the Receiver to purchase any such Asset with respect to which the Assuming Institution has taken any action referred to in Section 3.4(a)(ii) with respect to such Asset. The Assuming Institution shall transfer all such Assets to the Receiver without recourse, and shall indemnify the Receiver against any and all claims of any Person claiming by, through or under the Assuming Institution with respect to any such Asset, as provided in Section 12.4.

 

(c)                                  Notices to the Receiver. In the event that the Assuming Institution elects to require the Receiver to purchase one or more Assets, the Assuming Institution shall deliver to the Receiver a notice (a “Put Notice”) which shall include:

 

15



 

(i)                                     a list of all Assets that the Assuming Institution requires the Receiver to purchase;

 

(ii)                                  a list of all Related Liabilities with respect to the Assets identified pursuant to (i) above; and

 

(iii)                               a statement of the estimated Repurchase Price of each Asset identified pursuant to (i) above as of the applicable Put Date.

 

Such notice shall be in the form prescribed by the Receiver or such other form to which the Receiver shall consent. As provided in Section 9.6, the Assuming Institution shall deliver to the Receiver such documents, Credit Files and such additional information relating to the subject matter of the Put Notice as the Receiver may request and shall provide to the Receiver full access to all other relevant books and Records.

 

(d)                                 Purchase by Receiver. The Receiver shall purchase Assets that are specified in the Put Notice and shall assume Related Liabilities with respect to such Assets, and the transfer of such Assets and Related Liabilities shall be effective as of a date determined by the Receiver which date shall not be later than thirty (30) days after receipt by the Receiver of the Put Notice (the “Put Date”).

 

(e)                                  Purchase Price and Payment Date. Each Asset purchased by the Receiver pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall be purchased at a price equal to the Repurchase Price of such Asset less the Related Liability Amount applicable to such Asset, in each case determined as of the applicable Put Date. If the difference between such Repurchase Price and such Related Liability Amount is positive, then the Receiver shall pay to the Assuming Institution the amount of such difference; if the difference between such amounts is negative, then the Assuming Institution shall pay to the Receiver the amount of such difference. The Assuming Institution or the Receiver, as the case may be, shall pay the purchase price determined pursuant to this Section 3.4(e) not later than the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the applicable Put Date, together with interest on such amount at the Settlement Interest Rate for the period from and including such Put Date to and including the day preceding the date upon which payment is made.

(g)                                  Reversals. In the event that the Receiver purchases an Asset (and assumes the Related Liability) that it is not required to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.4, the Assuming Institution shall repurchase such Asset (and assume such Related Liability) from the Receiver at a price computed so as to achieve the same economic result as would apply if the Receiver had never purchased such Asset pursuant to this Section 3.4.

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.

In the event any depositor does not accept the obligation of the Assuming Institution to pay any Deposit liability of the Failed Bank assumed by the Assuming Institution pursuant to this Agreement and asserts a claim against the Receiver for all or any portion of any such Deposit liability, the Assuming Institution 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 Institution at the time such claim is made. Upon payment by the Assuming Institution to the Receiver of such amount, the Assuming Institution 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.

 

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 Institution 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 Institution to withhold payment of all or any portion of any such deposit balance. Upon such direction, the Assuming Institution 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 Institution 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 Institution shall return all or any portion of such deposit balance to the Receiver or the Corporation, as appropriate, and thereupon the Assuming Institution 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 9.5, the Assuming Institution shall not be obligated to return such deposit balance to the Receiver or the Corporation. The Assuming Institution 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 Institution 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 9.5.

(ix)                              claims which could have been enforced against any Indemnitee had the Assuming Institution not entered into this Agreement;

(e)                                  not incur any costs or expenses in connection with any response or suit with respect to such claim, unless such costs or expenses were incurred upon the written direction of the Receiver; provided that the Receiver shall not be obligated to reimburse the amount of any such costs or expenses unless such costs or expenses were incurred upon the written direction of the Receiver;

 

(f)                                   not release or settle such claim or make any payment or admission with respect thereto, unless the Receiver consents thereto; provided that the Receiver shall not be obligated to reimburse the amount of any such settlement or payment unless such settlement or payment was effected upon the written direction of the Receiver; and

41



 

or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Assuming Institution, or (b) create any warranty not expressly provided under this Agreement with respect thereto.

 

12.4.                     Indemnification of Receiver and Corporation. From and after the Bank Closing Date, the Assuming Institution agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation and the Receiver and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against any and all costs, losses, liabilities, expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any of the following:

 

(a)                                 claims based on any and all liabilities or obligations of the Failed Bank assumed by the Assuming Institution pursuant to this Agreement or subsequent to the execution hereof by the Assuming Institution or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Assuming Institution, whether or not any such liabilities subsequently are sold and/or transferred, other than any claim based upon any action or inaction of any Indemnitee as provided in Section 12.1(a)(vii) or (viii);

 

(b)                                 claims based on any act or omission of any Indemnitee (including but not limited to claims of any Person claiming any right or title by or through the Assuming Institution with respect to Assets transferred to the Receiver pursuant to Section 3.4 or Section 3.6), other than any action or inaction of any Indemnitee as provided in (vii) or (viii) of Section 12.1(a); and

 

(c)                                  claims based on any failure of the Assuming Institution to comply with any provision of Article VI.

 

12.5.                     Obligations 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 Receiver, shall promptly pay to the Receiver, or the Corporation as appropriate, 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 (a) the Person is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense against any such action, suit or proceeding, or (b) 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 Institution as set forth in this Article XII. It is a condition to the Corporation’s obligation hereunder that the Assuming

 

42



 

Institution 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 any Indemnitee for any claims indemnified by the Receiver under this Article XII, the Receiver, or the Corporation as appropriate, shall become subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee against any other Person to the extent of such payment.

EXHIBIT 3.2(c)

 

VALUATION OF CERTAIN

 

QUALIFIED FINANCIAL CONTRACTS

 

A.                                    Scope

 

Interest Rate Contracts - All interest rate swaps, forward rate agreements, interest rate futures, caps, collars and floors, whether purchased or written.

 

Option Contracts - All put and call option contracts, whether purchased or written, on marketable securities, financial futures, foreign currencies, foreign exchange or foreign exchange futures contracts.

 

Foreign Exchange Contracts - All contracts for future purchase or sale of foreign currencies, foreign currency or cross currency swap contracts, or foreign exchange futures contracts.

 

B.                                    Exclusions

 

All financial contracts used to hedge assets and liabilities that are acquired by the Assuming Institution but are not subject to adjustment from Book Value.

 

C.                                    Adjustment

 

The difference between the Book Value and market value as of the Bank Closing Date.

 

D.                                    Methodology

 

1.                                      The price at which the Assuming Institution sells or disposes of Qualified Financial Contracts will be deemed to be the fair market value of such contracts, if such sale or disposition occurs at prevailing market rates within a predefined timetable as agreed upon by the Assuming Institution and the Receiver.

 

2.                                      In valuing all other Qualified Financial Contracts, the following principles will apply:

 

(i)                                     All known cash flows under swaps or forward exchange contracts shall be 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.

 

(iii)                               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.

 

67



 

(iv)                              For 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.

 

(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 and Assuming Institution as of the Bank Closing Date. If quotes from securities dealers cannot be obtained, an appraiser acceptable to the Receiver and the Assuming Institution will perform a valuation based on modeling, correlation analysis, interpolation or other techniques, as appropriate.

 

68



 

EXHIBIT 4.13

 

INTERIM ASSET SERVICING ARRANGEMENT

 

This Interim Asset Servicing Arrangement is made pursuant to and as of the date of that certain Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Purchase and Assumption Agreement”) among the Receiver, the Assuming Institution and the Corporation, to which this Arrangement is attached.

(iv)                              process funding draws under Loans and protective advances in connection with collateral and acquired property, in each case, as and to the extent authorized and funded by the Receiver;

 

(v)                                 maintain in use all data processing equipment and systems and other systems of record on which any activity with respect to any Pool Assets are, or prior to the Bank Closing Date, were, recorded, and maintain all historical data on any such systems as of the Bank Closing Date and not, without the express consent of the Receiver (which consent must be sought at least sixty (60) days prior to taking any action), deconvert, remove, transfer or

 

69

EXHIBIT 4.15A

 

SINGLE FAMILY SHARED-LOSS AGREEMENT

 

A.                                    This Single Family Shared-Loss Agreement and the Exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (collectively, the “Agreement”) is made pursuant to and as of the date of that certain Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Purchase and Assumption Agreement”) among the Receiver, the Assuming Institution and the Corporation, to which this Agreement is attached.

 

B.                                    This Agreement shall apply only if the Assuming Institution has purchased Shared-Loss Loans (as defined herein) pursuant to the Purchase and Assumption Agreement. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that the Receiver and the Assuming Institution shall share certain losses and gains in respect of such Shared-Loss Loans.

 

A G R E E M E N T

 

ARTICLE 1.                                           GENERAL.

 

1.1.                            Purpose. The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth requirements regarding, among other things, management of Shared-Loss Loans by the Assuming Institution and procedures for notices, consents, reporting and payments. In administering the Shared-Loss Loans, the Assuming Institution shall at all times comply with the Management Standards set forth in Article 3.

 

1.2.                            Relationship with Purchase and Assumption Agreement. To the extent that any inconsistencies may arise between the terms of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement and this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

 

1.3.                            Defined Terms. The capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings defined or referenced in Article 8.

 

ARTICLE 2.                                           SHARED-LOSS ARRANGEMENT.

 

2.1.                            Accounting for and Management of Shared-Loss Loans.

 

(a)                                 Initial Values. The Assuming Institution shall record the Shared-Loss Loans on its Accounting Records at their respective Book Values as of the Commencement Date.

 

(b)                                 Adjustments. After the Commencement Date, the Assuming Institution shall adjust the Book Values of the Shared-Loss Loans in accordance with this Agreement, the Examination Criteria and Article VIII of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Management. Thereafter, the Assuming Institution shall manage and account for the Shared-Loss Loans in accordance with this Agreement.

 

SF-1



 

2.2.                            Payments with Respect to Shared-Loss Loans.

 

(a)                                 Calculation and Method of Payments. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the parties shall make the payments set forth in this Article 2. All payments made by a party under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer.

 

(b)                                 Timing of Payments.

 

(i)                                     Payments by the Receiver under this Article 2 shall be made within thirty (30) days following the date on which the Receiver receives each Monthly Certificate, provided that the Monthly Certificate is complete, accurate, timely and in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement.

 

(ii)                                  Payments by the Assuming Institution under this Article 2 shall be made on or before the due date for each Monthly Certificate.

 

(c)                                  Source of Receiver’s Funds. Payment obligations of the Receiver with respect to this Agreement shall be treated as administrative expenses of the Receiver pursuant to 12 U.S.C §1821(d)(11). To the extent that the Receiver requires funds to make payments relating to Shared-Loss Loans pursuant to this Agreement, the Receiver shall request funds under the Master Loan and Security Agreement between the FDIC in its corporate capacity and the FDIC in its receivership capacity, with respect to any receivership, dated as of May 21, 2009, as amended.

 

2.3.                            Payments Applicable to Shared-Loss Months. For each Shared-Loss Month, pursuant to the applicable Monthly Certificate, one of the payments described at (a) or (b) below shall be made, as appropriate, with respect to Shared-Loss Loans.

 

(a)                                 Covered Loss Payments by the Receiver. The Receiver shall pay to the Assuming Institution the Applicable Percentage of the “Covered Loss” for the period, which is an amount equal to:

 

(i)                                     the sum of:

 

(A)                               the total Monthly Loss Amount for all Shared-Loss Loans; less

 

(B)                               the total monthly Recovery Amount for all Shared-Loss Loans; less

 

(C)                               the total monthly Collections on Fully Charged-Off Assets.

 

(b)                                 Covered Gain Payments by the Assuming Institution. If the result of the calculation in Section 2.3(a)(i) is a negative amount (the “Covered Gain”), the Assuming Institution shall pay the Applicable Percentage of such amount to the Receiver.

 

2.4.                            Loss Mitigation, Loan Modification and Loss Calculations.

 

(a)                                 Loss Mitigation Programs. The Assuming Institution shall administer and undertake reasonable and customary loss mitigation efforts and act in accordance with usual and

 

SF-2



 

prudent banking practices and the provisions of this Agreement with respect to Shared-Loss Loans. Within ninety (90) days of bank closing, the Assuming Institution shall submit to the FDIC for approval a written loss mitigation plan. The loss mitigation plan shall be updated annually and submitted to the FDIC. On a quarterly basis the Assuming Institution shall deliver to the FDIC the internal management reports utilized to monitor the status of loan modifications in process for assets on Schedule 4.15A as well as assets that have successfully undergone loan modification under an approved modification program according to the Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Single Family Shared-Loss Loans. For each Single Family Shared-Loss Loan in default or for which a default is reasonably foreseeable, the Assuming Institution shall undertake loss mitigation efforts in accordance with one of the following programs, as amended from time to time, selected by the Assuming Institution in its discretion:

 

(i)                                     FDIC Mortgage Loan Modification Program as set forth in Exhibit 5;

 

(ii)                                  the United States Treasury’s Home Affordable Modification Program Guidelines; or

 

(iii)                               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 Federal governmental agency.

 

(c)                                  Other Shared-Loss Loans. For each Shared-Loss Loan which is not a Single Family Shared-Loss Loan and which is in default, or for which a default is reasonably foreseeable, the Assuming Institution shall adopt loss mitigation procedures in accordance with its own Examination Criteria and all applicable laws and regulations and shall undertake loss mitigation efforts substantially similar to loss mitigation efforts with respect to, and without favoring, any assets held by the Assuming Institution or any of its Affiliates that are not Shared-Loss Loans.

 

(d)                                 Loan Modification Guidelines. In undertaking loss mitigation efforts for each Shared-Loss Loan (the method adopted for each Shared-Loss Loan as required by Sections 2.4(b) and 2.4(c) being referred to as the “Modification Guidelines”), the Assuming Institution:

 

(i)                                     shall implement the Modification Guidelines within ninety (90) days following Bank Closing;

 

(ii)                                  may submit claims during the period described in paragraph (i) for payments relating to Shared-Loss Loans under any guidelines which may have been in place at the Failed Bank. If no such guidelines were in place at the Failed Bank, the Assuming Institution may use its own guidelines for submission of such claims;

 

(iii)                               shall, in implementing the Modification Guidelines, (A) consider and document its consideration of foreclosure, loan restructuring, short-sale and any other appropriate methods of loss mitigation and (B) select the method that the Assuming Institution determines will result in the least Loss, based on its estimated calculations. If unemployment or underemployment of the Obligor with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan is the primary cause of default, or of a reasonably foreseeable default, the Assuming

 

SF-3



 

Institution may consider entering into a temporary forbearance plan with the Obligor to reduce loan payments to an affordable level for at least six (6) months; and

 

(iv)                              shall not be required to modify or restructure any Shared-Loss Loan on more than one occasion or to consider any alternatives with respect to any Shared-Loss Loan that was in the process of foreclosure as of the Bank Closing Date if the Assuming Institution considers, and so documents, that a loan modification is not cost-effective pursuant to the standards set forth in Exhibit 5. In such circumstances, the Assuming Institution may continue such foreclosure measures in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and recover any Foreclosure Loss as provided in this Agreement.

 

(e)                                  Loss Calculations. Losses on Shared-Loss Loans shall be calculated in the form, and determined in accordance with, the methodologies set forth in the respective Exhibits attached to this Agreement as follows:

 

(i)                                     Restructuring Losses shall be determined in accordance with Exhibits 2a(1)-(3);

 

(ii)                                  Deficiency Losses shall be reported as Restructuring Losses and, if applicable, the net present value of a modified Shared-Loss Loan shall be determined in accordance with Exhibits 2a(1)-(3), as applicable;

 

(iii)                               Modification Default Losses shall be determined in accordance with Exhibits 2a(1)-(3), as applicable;

 

(iv)                              Short-Sale Losses shall be determined in accordance with Exhibits 2b(1)-(3);

 

(v)                                 Foreclosure Losses shall be determined in accordance with Exhibits 2c(1)-(3);

 

(vi)                              Home Equity Loan Losses shall be determined in accordance with the charge-off policies of the loan classification criteria employed by the Assuming Institution’s Chartering Authority as set forth in Exhibit 2d(1);

 

(vii)                           Losses, if applicable, on Restructured Loans shall be determined in accordance with Exhibit 2d(2);

 

(viii)                        Loan Sale Losses shall be determined in accordance with Exhibits 2e(1)-(3);

 

(ix)                              Losses on Investor-Owned Residential Loans shall be determined in the same manner as Restructuring Losses. With the consent of the Receiver, Investor-Owned Residential Loans may be restructured under terms different from the standards set forth in Exhibit 5.

 

SF-4



 

2.5.                            True-Up Payment and Calculation.

 

(a)                                 Payment Obligation of the Assuming Institution. If the Assuming Institution’s Bid Amount, as set forth in Article VII of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, includes an “Asset discount bid” which represents five percent (5%) or more of the purchase price of the Assets determined in accordance with Article III of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, the Assuming Institution shall pay to the Receiver on the True-Up Date any positive amount resulting from the calculation set forth in Exhibit 2.5.

 

(b)                                 Reporting of Calculation. On or before the True-Up Date the Assuming Institution shall deliver to the Receiver a schedule, signed by the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Assuming Institution, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation described in Exhibit 2.5, including the calculation of the Net Loss Amount.

 

2.6.                            Limitation on Payments.

 

(a)                                 Failure to Administer. If the Assuming Institution fails to administer any Shared-Loss Loan in accordance with the provisions of Article 3, the Receiver may determine that such asset will not be treated as a Shared-Loss Loan pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Receiver’s Right to Withhold Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 2, the Receiver may withhold all or any portion of a payment to the Assuming Institution of the amount requested in a Monthly Certificate if the Receiver or the Corporation determines that:

 

(i)                                     a Monthly Certificate is incomplete, inaccurate or untimely;

 

(ii)                                  based upon the criteria set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the requirements set forth in Section 2.4, or Customary Servicing Procedures, a Loss should not have been effected by the Assuming Institution;

 

(iii)                               based upon the Examination Criteria, a Charge-Off of a Shared-Loss Loan should not have been effected by the Assuming Institution;

 

(iv)                              there is a reasonable basis under the terms of this Agreement for denying the eligibility of amounts included in a Monthly Certificate for which reimbursement or payment is sought;

 

(v)                                 with respect to a particular Shared-Loss Loan, the Assuming Institution has not complied, or is not complying, with the Management Standards;

 

(vi)                              the Assuming Institution has failed to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 5.5 including, but not limited to, permitting the Receiver, its agents, contractors and/or employees to determine compliance with this Agreement pursuant to Section 5.5(c); or

 

(vii)                           a retroactive accounting adjustment is to be made by the Receiver pursuant to Section 5.5(c).

 

SF-5



 

(c)                                  Opportunity to Cure; Payment.

 

(i)                                     In the event that a determination is made to withhold an amount pursuant to Section 2.6(b), the Receiver shall provide the Assuming Institution with notice detailing the grounds for withholding such amount and the Assuming Institution shall cure any deficiency within a reasonable period of time.

 

(ii)                                  If the Assuming Institution demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Receiver that the grounds for withholding a payment, or any part thereof, no longer exist or have been cured, the Receiver shall pay the Assuming Institution the amount which the Receiver determines is eligible for payment within thirty (30) days following the date of such determination.

 

(iii)                               If the Assuming Institution does not cure any such deficiency within a reasonable period of time, the Receiver may withhold payment as described in Section 2.6(b) with respect to the affected Shared-Loss Loan(s), but such withholding will not affect the Receiver’s obligation to make any other payment properly due pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Adjustments. In the event that the Receiver withholds payment with respect to Losses claimed or determines pursuant to Section 2.6(b) that a payment was improperly made, the Assuming Institution and the Receiver shall, upon final resolution of such issue, make such accounting adjustments and payments as may be necessary to give retroactive effect to such actions, including making the necessary adjustments to the Covered Loss or Covered Gain for the affected Monthly Certificate(s).

 

(e)                                  Interest on Payments.  Any payment by the Receiver pursuant to Section 2.6(c)(ii) shall be made together with interest on the amount thereof that accrues with effect from five (5) Business Days after the date on which payment was agreed or determined to be due until such amount is paid. The annual interest rate shall be determined by the Receiver based on the coupon equivalent of the three (3)-month U.S. Treasury Bill Rate in effect as of the first Business Day of each three-month period during which such interest accrues as reported in the Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release for Selected Interest Rates H.15 opposite the caption “Treasury bills (secondary market), 3-month” or, if not so reported for such day, for the next preceding Business Day for which such rate was so reported.

 

(f)                                   Determination of Disputes. Any dispute arising under this Section 2.6 shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures of Article 7.

 

2.7.                            Treatment as a Shared-Loss Loan.

 

(a)                                 Payment of Foreclosure Loss or Short-Sale Loss. The Receiver shall be relieved of its obligations with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan upon payment to the Assuming Institution of amounts in respect of a Foreclosure Loss or a Short-Sale Loss on that Shared-Loss Loan.

 

(b)                                 Loss of Right to Receive Shared-Loss Loan Payments. The Assuming Institution shall not be entitled to payments relating to a Shared-Loss Loan pursuant to Section 2.3 if the Assuming Institution or any Affiliate of the Assuming Institution:

 

SF-6



 

(i)                                     sells or otherwise transfers that Shared-Loss Loan or any interest therein (whether with or without recourse) to any Person, other than in compliance with this Agreement;

 

(ii)                                  makes any additional advance, commitment or increase in the amount of a Commitment with respect to that Shared-Loss Loan;

7.1.                            Methods of Resolution. The methods of resolving a dispute arising pursuant to this Agreement shall be as follows:

 

(a)                                 Charge-Offs. Any dispute as to whether a Charge-Off of a Shared-Loss Asset was made in accordance with the Examination Criteria shall be finally resolved by the Assuming Institution’s Chartering Authority.

 

(b)                                 Other Disputes. Any other dispute (a “Dispute Item”) shall be resolved in accordance with the following provisions of this Article 7.

SF-18



 

Item within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt of information concerning the Dispute Item.

 

7.3.                            Resolution by Non-Binding Dispute Resolution Proceeding. If informal resolution of the Dispute Item pursuant to Section 7.2 is unsuccessful, the FDIC Party, on the one hand, and the Assuming Institution, on the other hand, may submit to the other party written notification of a Dispute Item (a “Notice of Dispute”). The Notice of Dispute shall contain a description of the dispute, an estimate of the amount in issue and any other information required pursuant to this Article 7. The parties shall make good faith efforts to resolve the dispute by mutual agreement within thirty-five (35) Business Days following receipt of the Notice of Dispute. In furtherance of these efforts, the parties should consider the mutually agreed upon use of less formal dispute resolution techniques, which may include, but are not limited to, mediation, settlement conference, early neutral evaluation and any other dispute resolution proceedings (as defined in § 571(6) of the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act (“ADRA”), 5 U.S.C. § 571 et seq.), as amended).

 

7.4.                            Confidentiality of Compromise Negotiations. All good faith attempts to resolve or compromise a dispute pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.3 will be confidential. All such compromise negotiations, including any statements made or documents prepared by any party, attorney or other participant, are inadmissible as evidence in other proceedings and may not be construed for any purpose as admissions against interest.

 

7.5.                            Payment Resulting from Compromise Negotiations. If the FDIC Party and the Assuming Institution resolve a Dispute Item to their mutual satisfaction pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.3, including any dispute pursuant to Section 2.6, then within thirty (30) days following such resolution, the appropriate party shall make payment or take action as agreed by the parties.

 

7.6.                            Formal Resolution.

 

(a)                                 Arbitration Matters. Any Dispute Item which has an estimated amount in issue not exceeding $500,000 per Asset may be proposed by the party seeking relief (the “Claimant Party”) for arbitration pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.6. No more than three Dispute Items may be submitted for any single arbitration, provided that, by mutual agreement pursuant to Section 7.6(c), the parties may agree to submit any Dispute Item(s) to arbitration.

 

(b)                                 Proposal to Arbitrate. If the FDIC Party and the Assuming Institution do not resolve a Dispute Item pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.3, then within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the period provided in Section 7.3, the Claimant Party may propose to submit the unresolved Dispute Item to arbitration by notifying the other party (the “Respondent Party”) in writing.

 

(c)                                  Submission to Arbitration. The Respondent Party may agree to the Claimant Party’s proposal of arbitration by responding in writing within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such proposal. Within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Respondent Party’s agreement to arbitrate, the Claimant Party may submit the Dispute Item to the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for arbitration. No Dispute Item may be submitted for arbitration without the consent of both parties.

 

SF-19



 

(d)                                 Waiver of Arbitration. If the Claimant Party does not (i) propose to submit the Dispute Item to arbitration within the period set forth in Section 7.6(b) or (ii) submit the Dispute Item to AAA within the period set forth in Section 7.6(c), then the Claimant Party shall be deemed to have waived submission of the Dispute Item to arbitration.

 

(e)                                  Litigation Matters. If the FDIC Party and the Assuming Institution do not agree to submit the Dispute Item to arbitration, the Dispute Item may be resolved by litigation in accordance with Federal or state law, as provided in Section 13.9 of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement. Any litigation shall be filed in a United States District Court in the proper district.

 

(f)                                   Arbitration Administrator. The FDIC Party may, in its discretion, appoint an organization other than AAA for administration of arbitration pursuant to this Section 7.6, in which case this Article 7 and the rules and procedures set forth herein, including the Commercial Arbitration Rules as referred to in Section 7.9, shall govern the arbitration. AAA or such other organization appointed pursuant to this Section 7.6(f) shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Arbitration Administrator.”

 

7.7.                            Limitation on FDIC Party. Nothing in this Article 7 shall be interpreted as obligating the FDIC Party to submit to a dispute resolution proceeding (as defined in ADRA at § 571(6)) any Dispute Item described in (i) ADRA, § 572(b) or (ii) the FDIC’s Statement of Policy Regarding Binding Arbitration, 66 Fed. Reg.18632 (April 10, 2001), as amended, as a dispute for which an agency shall consider not using a dispute resolution proceeding.

 

7.8.                            Effectiveness of Agreement Pending Dispute. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that a Notice of Dispute is provided to a party under this Article 7 prior to the Termination Date, the terms of this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to the items set forth in such notice until the dispute with respect to such items has been finally resolved, and such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement even if that resolution occurs after the Termination Date.

 

7.9.                            Governing Rules and Law for Arbitration. Any arbitration shall be substantively governed by the Federal law of the United States of America, and in the absence of controlling Federal law, in accordance with the laws of the state in which the main office of the Failed Bank is located. The arbitration shall be procedurally governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Commercial Arbitration Rules”) established by AAA to the extent that such rules are not inconsistent with this Article 7, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“Federal Arbitration Act”), and ADRA., as each may be in effect at the time that the arbitration is initiated, except that the Commercial Arbitration Rules’ Expedited Procedures shall not apply unless the FDIC Party and Claimant Party otherwise agree in writing. The Review Board (as defined below) may modify the procedures set forth in such rules from time to time with the prior written approval of the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party.

 

7.10.                     Review Board Proceedings. The arbitration of a dispute shall be conducted by a review board (a “Review Board”) which shall consist of either one (1) or three (3) members (each, a “Member”) with such expertise as the Claimant Party and Respondent Party agree is relevant. The Claimant Party shall specify, in its Notice of Dispute, the number of Members which it proposes for the Review Board.

 

SF-20



 

(a)                                 Selection of Members.

 

(i)                                     Claimant Party Proposes One Member. If the Dispute Item(s) are less than $250,000 in total, the Claimant Party may propose that the Review Board shall consist of one Member, and shall state, in its Notice of Dispute, the name and address of the Member that it proposes for the Review Board. If the Respondent Party agrees, in its response to the Notice of Dispute, the Member suggested by the Claimant Party shall comprise the Review Board. If the Respondent Party agrees, in its response to the Notice of Dispute, that the Review Board shall consist of one Member, but states the name and address of a different proposed Member for the Review Board, then that Member shall be deemed acceptable to the Claimant Party if it submits the Notice of Dispute to the Arbitration Administrator, provided that, before the Respondent Party responds to the Notice of Dispute with a different proposed Member, the parties may also mutually agree upon one Member. If the Respondent Party proposes that the Review Board shall consist of three Members, then the Members shall be selected in accordance with Section 7.10(a)(iv).

 

(ii)                                  Claimant Party Proposes Three Members. If the Dispute Items exceed $250,000 in total, or if the Respondent Party proposes that the Review Board shall consist of three Members, then the Claimant Party shall state the name and address of the first of three Members in its Notice of Dispute. If the Respondent Party agrees that the Review Board shall consist of three Members, the Respondent Party shall state the name and address of the second Member in its response to the Notice of Dispute. Each such Member shall be considered a “Party-Appointed Arbitrator” (“Party-Appointed Arbitrator”), consistent with Commercial Arbitration Rule R-12. If the Claimant Party subsequently submits the Notice of Dispute to the Arbitration Administrator as provided in Section 7.6(c), then within ten (10) Business Days of such submission, the Party-Appointed Arbitrators shall select a neutral third Member (the “Neutral Member”) in accordance with Commercial Arbitration Rules R-11 and R-13, except that the Neutral Member need not be from the National Roster of Commercial Arbitrators. If the Respondent Party proposes that the Review Board shall consist of one Member, then the Member shall be selected in accordance with Section 7.10(a)(iii).

 

(iii)                               Respondent Party Proposes One Member. If the Claimant Party proposes that the Review Board shall consist of three Members, but the Respondent Party proposes that the Review Board shall consist of one Member in its response to the Notice of Dispute, then the Member proposed by the Claimant Party in the Notice of Dispute shall comprise the Review Board unless the Respondent Party states the name and address of a different proposed Member in its response to the Notice of Dispute. If the Respondent Party proposes a different Member in its response to the Notice of Dispute, then that Member shall be deemed acceptable to the Claimant Party if it submits the Notice of Dispute to the Arbitration Administrator.

 

(iv)                              Respondent Party Proposes Three Members. If the Claimant Party proposes that the Review Board shall consist of one Member, but the Respondent Party proposes, in its response to the Notice of Dispute, that the Review Board shall consist of three Members, then the Member proposed by the Claimant Party in the Notice of Dispute shall comprise the first Member of the Review Board. The Respondent Party

 

SF-21



 

shall state the name and address of the second Member in its response to the Notice of Dispute. Each such Member shall be considered a Party-Appointed Arbitrator. If the Claimant Party subsequently submits the Notice of Dispute to the Arbitration Administrator, a Neutral Member shall be selected in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 7.10(a)(ii).

 

(b)                                 Removal of Members. A Party-Appointed Arbitrator may be removed at any time by the party who appointed that Member upon five (5) Business Days notice to the other party of the selection of a replacement Member. The Neutral Member may be removed by unanimous action of the Party-Appointed Arbitrators or unanimous action of the parties after five (5) Business Days notice to the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party and the Arbitration Administrator of the selection of a replacement Neutral Member.

 

(c)                                  Vacancies. Any vacancy on the Review Board prior to or after the commencement of the hearing of evidence and argument (the “Arbitration Hearing”) shall be handled in accordance with Commercial Arbitration Rule R-19, except that if a vacancy arises after the Arbitration Hearing has commenced, a substitute Member shall be selected in accordance with the rules under which the original Member was selected.

 

7.11.                     Impartiality. As a condition of serving on the Review Board, within five (5) Business Days after being selected, each Member shall provide a written oath, under penalty of perjury, containing a statement that the Member does not have any conflicts of interest (whether official, financial, personal or otherwise) with respect to the issues or parties in controversy, and that each Member agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Article 7 as applicable to the Members. If a Member has any potential conflict of interest, the Member shall fully disclose such interest in writing to the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party and the Member shall not serve on the Review Board, unless the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party agree otherwise. The Conflicts Committee of the Legal Division of the Corporation shall review any potential conflicts of interest for potential waiver. None of the Members may serve as counsel, advisor, witness or representative to any party to the arbitration.

 

7.12.                     Schedule. The Review Board shall assume control of the arbitration process and shall schedule all events as expeditiously as possible. The Arbitration Hearing shall commence within ninety (90) Business Days after receipt of the Notice of Dispute by the Arbitration Administrator.

 

7.13.                     Written Award. Within twenty (20) Business Days following closing of the Arbitration Hearing, as determined by Commercial Arbitration Rule R-35, the Review Board shall determine the prevailing party and award the prevailing party its proposed award or award any remedy or relief that the arbitrator deems just and equitable and within the scope of this Article 7, but in no event may an award of the Review Board (inclusive of all claims and counterclaims) exceed the maximum amount set forth in Section 7.6(a). If the Review Board consists of three (3) Members, the determination of any two (2) Members shall constitute the Review Board’s determination. The Review Board shall present to the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party a written award regarding the dispute. The written award shall contain a brief, informal discussion of the factual and legal basis for the award and need not contain formal findings of facts and law.

The Review Board will have no authority to award any punitive, consequential, special or exemplary damages.

 

7.16.                     Fees, Costs and Expenses. The Review Board will have no authority to award attorneys’ fees or costs incurred by either party to the arbitration. Each party will bear the fees, costs, and expenses which it incurs in connection with the submission of any dispute to a Review Board, including the fees and expenses of the Member which it selected in accordance with the Arbitration Administrator’s fee schedule. The Claimant Party and the Respondent Party will share equally the fees and expenses of the Neutral Member and any administrative fees of the arbitration (which shall not include the fees and expenses of the Members). No fees, costs or expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Assuming Institution shall be subject to reimbursement by the Receiver under this Article 7 or otherwise.

 

7.17.                     Binding and Conclusive Nature. Arbitration of a dispute pursuant to this Article 7 shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties and not subject to further dispute or review, and judgment upon the award made by the Review Board may be entered in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Other than as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act and ADRA, no review, appeal or reconsideration of the Review Board’s determination shall be permitted, including review, appeal or reconsideration by the Review Board or any other arbitrators. The parties agree to faithfully observe the provisions of this Article 7 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules, and the parties agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the Review Board.

 

7.18.                     No Precedent. No decision, interpretation, determination, analysis, statement, award or other pronouncement of a Review Board shall constitute precedent in regard to any subsequent proceeding (whether or not such proceeding involves dispute resolution under this 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 that may have convened in connection with a transaction involving other failed financial institutions or Federal assistance transactions.

 

7.19.                     Confidentiality; Proceedings, Information and Documents.

A.                                    This Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement and the Exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (collectively, the “Agreement”) is made pursuant to and as of the date of that certain Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Purchase and Assumption Agreement”) among the Receiver, the Assuming Institution and the Corporation, to which this Agreement is attached.

 

B.                                    This Agreement shall apply only if the Assuming Institution has purchased Shared-Loss Assets (as defined herein) pursuant to the Purchase and Assumption Agreement. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, it is the intention of the parties that the Receiver and the Assuming Institution shall share certain losses, expenses and Recoveries (as defined herein).

 

A G R E E M E N T

 

ARTICLE 1.                                      GENERAL.

 

1.1.                            Purpose. The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth requirements regarding, among other things, management of Shared-Loss Assets by the Assuming Institution and procedures for notices, consents, reporting and payments. In administering the Shared-Loss Assets, the Assuming Institution shall at all times comply with the Management Standards set forth in Article 3.

 

1.2.                            Relationship with Purchase and Assumption Agreement. To the extent that any inconsistencies may arise between the terms of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement and this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

 

1.3.                            Defined Terms. The capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings defined or referenced in Article 8.

shall be updated annually and submitted to FDIC. The Assuming Institution shall, in implementing its loss mitigation plan with respect to each Shared Loss Asset in default or for which a default is reasonably foreseeable, (A) undertake and document loss mitigation efforts that must include loan restructuring, short-sale and any other appropriate methods of loss mitigation and (B) select the method that the Assuming Institution determines will result in the least Loss, based on its estimated and documented calculations. On a quarterly basis the Assuming Institution shall deliver to the FDIC the internal management reports utilized to monitor the status of loan restructurings in process for assets on Schedule 4.15B as well as assets that have successfully undergone documented loan restructurings.

 

2.2.                            Payments with Respect to Shared-Loss Assets.

 

(a)                                 Calculation and Method of Payments. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the parties shall make the payments set forth in this Article 2. All payments made by a party under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer.

 

(b)                                 Timing of Payments.

 

(i)                                     Payments by the Receiver under this Article 2 shall be made within thirty (30) days following the date on which the Receiver receives the Quarterly Certificate with respect to each Shared-Loss Quarter or Recovery Quarter, provided that the Quarterly Certificate is complete, accurate, timely and in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement.

 

(ii)                                  Payments by the Assuming Institution under this Article 2 shall be made on or before the due date for the Quarterly Certificate for each Shared-Loss Quarter or Recovery Quarter, as applicable.

 

(c)                                  Source of Receiver’s Funds. Payment obligations of the Receiver with respect to this Agreement shall be treated as administrative expenses of the Receiver pursuant to 12 U.S.C § 1821(d)(11). To the extent that the Receiver requires funds to make payments relating to Shared-Loss Assets pursuant to this Agreement, the Receiver shall request funds under the Master Loan and Security Agreement between the FDIC in its corporate capacity and the FDIC in its receivership capacity, with respect to any receivership, dated as of May 21, 2009, as amended.

 

(d)                                 Shared-Loss Subsidiaries. Covered Losses with respect to Subsidiary Shared-Loss Loans and Subsidiary ORE shall not exceed the Applicable Percentage of the Investment in Subsidiary of each Shared-Loss Subsidiary, if any, identified on Schedule 4.15D as the owner of each such Subsidiary Shared-Loss Loans or Subsidiary ORE.

 

2.3.                            Payments Applicable to Shared-Loss Quarters. For each Shared-Loss Quarter, pursuant to the applicable Quarterly Certificate, one of the payments described at (a) or (b) below shall be made, as appropriate, with respect to Shared-Loss Assets:

(B)                               Reimbursable Expenses attributable to Shared-Loss Assets, minus

 

(C)                               Recoveries; and

 

(ii)                                  fifty per cent (50%) of collections on Fully Charged-Off Assets less fifty per cent (50%) of any expenses attributable to such Fully Charged-Off Assets, provided and only to the extent that such expenses would be Reimbursable Expenses if such Fully Charged-Off Assets were Shared-Loss Assets.

 

(b)                                 Covered Gain Payments by the Assuming Institution. If the result of the calculation described in Section 2.3(a)(i) is a negative amount (the “Covered Gain”), the Assuming Institution shall pay the Applicable Percentage of such amount to the Receiver.

 

2.4.                            Payments Applicable to Recovery Quarters. For each Recovery Quarter, pursuant to the applicable Quarterly Certificate, the payments described at (a) and (b) below shall be made, as appropriate, with respect to Shared-Loss Assets:

(c)                                  Net Recoveries. “Net Recoveries” means gross Recoveries during any Calendar Quarter minus Reimbursable Expenses during such Calendar Quarter.

 

(d)                                 Negative Net Recoveries. If Net Recoveries received in a Recovery Quarter is a negative amount, then the amount of such Net Recoveries shall be offset against the amount of gross Recoveries received in the following Recovery Quarter to determine the amount of Net Recoveries for that following Recovery Quarter. If, after applying the preceding provisions, Net Recoveries received in any subsequent Recovery Quarter is also a negative amount, the provisions of this Section 2.4(d) shall continue to apply to determine the amount of Net Recoveries in each such subsequent Recovery Quarter.

If the Assuming Institution’s Bid Amount, as set forth in Article VII of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, includes an “Asset discount bid” which represents five percent (5%) or more of the purchase price of the Assets determined in accordance with Article III of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, the Assuming Institution shall pay to the Receiver on the True-Up Date any positive amount resulting from the calculation set forth in Exhibit 2.5.

 

(b)                                 Reporting of Calculation.

(b)                                 Receiver’s Right to Withhold Payment.

(ii)                                  based upon the Examination Criteria, a Charge-Off of a Shared-Loss Asset should not have been effected by the Assuming Institution;

 

(iii)                               there is a reasonable basis under the terms of this Agreement for denying the eligibility of amounts included in a Quarterly Certificate for which reimbursement or payment is sought;

 

(iv)                              with respect to a particular Shared-Loss Asset, the Assuming Institution has not complied or is not complying with the Management Standards;

notice detailing the grounds for withholding such amount and the Assuming Institution shall cure any deficiency within a reasonable period of time.

 

(ii)                                  If the Assuming Institution demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Receiver that the grounds for withholding a payment, or any part thereof, no longer exist or have been cured, the Receiver shall pay the Assuming Institution the amount which the Receiver determines is eligible for payment within thirty (30) days following the date of such determination.

 

(iii)                               If the Assuming Institution does not cure any such deficiency within a reasonable period of time, the Receiver may withhold payment as described in Section 2.6 (b) with respect to the affected Shared-Loss Asset(s), but such withholding will not affect the Receiver’s obligation to make any other payment properly due pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Adjustments. In the event that the Receiver withholds payment with respect to a Charge-Off of a Shared-Loss Asset or determines pursuant to Section 2.6(b) that a payment was improperly made, the Assuming Institution and the Receiver shall, upon final resolution of such issue, make such accounting adjustments and payments as may be necessary to give retroactive effect to such actions.

 

(e)                                  Interest on Payments. Any payment by the Receiver pursuant to Section 2.6(d) shall be made together with interest on the amount thereof that accrues with effect from five (5) Business Days after the date on which payment was agreed or determined to be due until such amount is paid. The annual interest rate shall be determined by the Receiver based on the coupon equivalent of the three (3)-month U.S. Treasury Bill 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 Statistical Release for Selected Interest Rates H.15 opposite the caption “Treasury bills (secondary market), 3-Month” or, if not so reported for such day, for the next preceding Business Day for which such rate was so reported.

 

(f)                                   Determination of Disputes. Any dispute arising under this Section 2.6 shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures of Article 7.

(iii)                               ORE Expenses to the extent that such amount exceeds any ORE Income;

(vi)                              a proportion of expenses for collections by or on behalf of the Assuming Institution on an Asset other than a Shared-Loss Asset with a Book Value greater than zero which are applied to both that Book Value and to a Failed Bank Charge-Off, equal to the collections on such Asset which are applied to the Failed Bank Charge-Off divided by the total collections on such Asset; and

If the Assuming Institution estimates in good faith that required expenditures for the purposes described (A) in paragraph (ii) may exceed $200,000 or (B) in paragraph (v) may exceed $100,000 with respect to a particular Shared-Loss Asset, and provides the Receiver with advance notice and details thereof prior to incurring any such expenditure, the Receiver may, in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to such greater amount being deemed a Reimbursable Expense for purposes of this Agreement.

(e)                                  Notification of Certain Expenditures.

 

(i)                                     Under certain circumstances the Assuming Institution may determine that, in order to maximize collection of a Shared-Loss Asset or an Asset on which a Failed Bank Charge-Off has been effected, there is a substantial likelihood that funds will need to be expended after the Bank Closing Date by or on behalf of the Assuming Institution to a third party for a specified purpose, which do not otherwise constitute Reimbursable Expenses. If such expenditure is estimated to exceed ten percent (10%) of the Book Value of such Shared-Loss Asset or Asset, respectively, and that Shared-Loss Asset or Asset has a Legal Balance on the Accounting Records of the Assuming Institution of $1,000,000 or more, then the Assuming Institution shall promptly report such proposed expenditure to the Receiver, and may request that such expenditure be treated as a Permitted Expense.

 

(ii)                                  Within thirty (30) days following receipt of a notice pursuant to Section 2.7(e)(i), the Receiver will advise the Assuming Institution whether the Receiver grants or withholds its consent to the qualification of the proposed expenditures as a Reimbursable Expense. If consent is withheld, the Assuming Institution shall not be required to make such expenditures and otherwise shall continue to administer such Shared-Loss Asset in accordance with the Management Standards.

 

2.8.                            Permitted Advances and Amendments. Pursuant to this Agreement, certain advances in respect of a Shared-Loss Loan and certain amendments in respect of a Shared-Loss Loan or a Shared-Loss Loan Commitment made by the Assuming Institution may be permissible additions to the Book Value of the Shared-Loss Assets, and entitle such Shared-Loss Assets to retain their status as such, if they satisfy certain criteria, as set forth below:

 

(a)                                 Permitted Advance. A “Permitted Advance” is an advance on a Shared-Loss Loan which is made by the Assuming Institution in good faith, justified by contemporaneous supporting documentation in the Credit File, in accordance with the applicable requirements set forth in Article 3 and with the then effective written internal credit policy guidelines of the Assuming Institution and which meets the following criteria:

 

(i)                                     it is an advance made by the Assuming Institution, or a legally binding commitment by the Assuming Institution to advance funds and, in either case, funds are advanced fully within one (1) year from the Commencement Date; and

 

(A)                               the sum of the following is less than 110% of the Book Value of such Shared-Loss Loan after such advance has been made:

 

(1)                                 the Book Value of such Shared-Loss Loan; plus

 

(2)                                 the unfunded amount of the legally binding commitment referred to at Section 2.8(a)(i) with respect to that Shared-Loss Loan;

 

C-8



 

(B)                               the Assuming Institution has not taken a Charge-Off with respect to that Shared-Loss Loan; and

 

(C)                               no Shared-Loss Loan Commitment exists for such Shared-Loss Loan; or

 

(ii)                                  it is an advance made by the Assuming Institution which the Assuming Institution determines is necessary to preserve or secure the value of the collateral for a Shared-Loss Loan. In making such determination, the Assuming Institution shall apply the same criteria as it would if the Shared-Loss Assets were owned by the Assuming Institution or any of its Affiliates, and subject to the limitation on expenses related to the remediation, presence, storage or release of any hazardous or toxic substance, pollutant or contaminant as set forth in Section 2.7(a)(ii).

 

(b)                                 Permitted Amendment. A “Permitted Amendment” is, with respect to any Shared-Loss Loan Commitment or Shared-Loss Loan, any amendment, modification, renewal or extension thereof, or any waiver of any term, right or remedy thereunder which is made by the Assuming Institution in good faith, justified by contemporaneous supporting documentation in the Credit File, in accordance with the applicable requirements set forth in Article 3 and with the then effective written internal credit policy guidelines of the Assuming Institution. A Permitted Amendment may extend the term of a Shared-Loss Loan Commitment or Shared-Loss Loan beyond the end of the final Shared-Loss Quarter or, if later, beyond the term which existed as of the Bank Closing Date, provided, any such extension does not extend shared-loss coverage beyond the final Shared-Loss Quarter. A Permitted Amendment must also satisfy the following criteria:

 

(i)                                     the sum of the following is less than 110% of the Book Value of such Shared-Loss Loan after such amendment or modification has been made:

 

(A)                               the Book Value of such Shared-Loss Loan; plus

 

(B)                               the unfunded amount of any applicable Shared-Loss Loan Commitment, inclusive of amounts advanced pursuant to such amendment, modification, renewal or extension; and

 

(ii)                                  with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan Commitment or Shared-Loss Loan which is not a revolving line of credit, it does not increase the amount of principal (A) then remaining available to be advanced by the Assuming Institution under the Shared-Loss Loan Commitment or (B) then outstanding under the Shared-Loss Loan beyond the limit provided in Section 2.8(b)(i); or

 

(iii)                               with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan Commitment or Shared-Loss Loan which is a revolving line of credit, it does not increase the maximum amount of principal authorized as of the Bank Closing Date to be outstanding at any one time under the underlying revolving line of credit relationship with the debtor beyond the limit provided in Section 2.8(b)(i) (regardless of the extent to which such revolving line of credit may have been funded as of the Bank Closing Date or may subsequently have been funded and/or repaid).

(vi)                              any gain received on a sale or other disposition of a Shared-Loss Loan or Shared-Loss Subsidiary by or on behalf of the Assuming Institution;

 

(vii)                           the amount of any fee or other consideration received by or on behalf of the Assuming Institution for any 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 or as to which a Charge-Off has been effected by the Assuming Institution during or prior to such period, not exceeding the total of any related Failed Bank Charge-Offs, Charge-Offs and Reimbursable Expenses made with respect to the particular Shared-Loss Loan; and

(iv)                              after the final Shared-Loss Quarter, ORE Income except to the extent that aggregate ORE Income exceeds ORE Expenses.

(iv)                              to other expenses incurred by the Assuming Institution which are not Reimbursable Expenses.

 

(d)                                 Interest Income as a Recovery. In the event that (i) there is any 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 or as to which a Charge-Off has been effected by the Assuming Institution during or prior to a Recovery Period and (ii) as a result, the Assuming Institution recognizes interest income for financial accounting purposes on that Shared-Loss Loan, then a Recovery shall also include the portion of such interest income recognized by the Assuming Institution which is derived by applying the calculation set forth in Exhibit 2.9, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.9(e).

 

(e)                                  Maximum Amount of Interest Income. The amount of any interest income included as a Recovery with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan subject to Section 2.9(d) shall not exceed the total of the following:

(g)                                  Treatment of Net ORE Loss Carryforward. To determine whether the Assuming Institution is entitled to apply a Net ORE Loss Carryforward at the end of the final Recovery Quarter, the Assuming Institution shall calculate and report the following information with respect to Recovery Quarters:

 

(i)                                     For any Recovery Quarter other than the final Recovery Quarter, Net ORE Income is calculated as the amount of ORE Income received during such

 

C-11



 

Recovery Quarter less (A) ORE Expenses paid to third parties during such Recovery Quarter and (B) if applicable, Net ORE Loss Carryforward. Any positive Net ORE Income shall be reported as a Recovery on the Quarterly Certificate for such Recovery Quarter.

 

(ii)                                  For the final Recovery Quarter, Net ORE Income is calculated as the amount of ORE Income received during the final Recovery Quarter less ORE Expenses from the beginning of the final Recovery Quarter up to the date the Assuming Institution is required to deliver the Final Recovery Certificate pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(iii)                               If there is a Net ORE Loss Carryforward at the end of the final Recovery Quarter, an amount equal to the Net ORE Loss Carryforward up to but not exceeding the total Net ORE Income reported as a Recovery on Quarterly Certificates for all Recovery Quarters may be included as a Recovery Expense on the Final Recovery Certificate.

 

2.10.                     Treatment as a Shared-Loss Asset.

(ii)                                  makes any additional advance, commitment or increase in the amount of a commitment with respect to that Shared-Loss Loan that does not constitute a Permitted Advance or a Shared-Loss Loan Commitment Advance, in which case the entire Shared-Loss Loan will not be entitled to such payments;

 

(iii)                               makes any amendment, modification, renewal or extension of that Shared-Loss Loan that does not constitute a Permitted Amendment;

 

(iv)                              manages, administers or collects any Related Loan in a manner which would increase the amount of any collections with respect to that Related Loan to the detriment of the Shared-Loss Asset to which such loan is related; or

 

(v)                                 fails to administer that Shared-Loss Asset pursuant to the Management Standards, including, without limitation, consistent failure to provide complete, accurate and timely certificates and reports pursuant to Article 5.

 

(b)                                 Effective Date of Loss of Shared-Loss Asset Treatment. If any of the actions described in Section 2.10(a) occur with respect to a Shared-Loss Asset, the Receiver shall not be obligated to make any payments to the Assuming Institution with respect to any affected Shared-Loss Loan after the date of occurrence of such action.

(i)            if the Shared-Loss Asset has been fully or partially charged-off or written down and the Receiver determines that the Assuming Institution is not diligently pursuing collection efforts with respect to such Shared-Loss Asset;

No loss shall be recognized under this Agreement as a result of any accounting adjustments that are made due to or as a result of any assignment or transfer of this Agreement or any merger, consolidation, sale or other transaction to which the Assuming Institution, its Holding Company or any Affiliate is a party, regardless of whether the Receiver consents to such assignment or transfer in connection with such transaction pursuant to this Section 6.2.

ARTICLE 7.                                           DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

 

7.1.                            Methods of Resolution. The methods of resolving a dispute arising pursuant to this Agreement shall be as follows:

 

(a)                                 Charge-Offs. Any dispute as to whether a Charge-Off of a Shared-Loss Asset was made in accordance with the Examination Criteria shall be finally resolved by the Assuming Institution’s Chartering Authority.

 

(b)                                 Other Disputes. Any other dispute (a “Dispute Item”) shall be resolved in accordance with the following provisions of this Article 7.

 

C-24



 

7.2.                            Informal Resolution. The Receiver or the Corporation, as appropriate, (the “FDIC Party”) and the Assuming Institution shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Dispute Item within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt of information concerning the Dispute Item.

 

7.3.                            Resolution by Non-Binding Dispute Resolution Proceeding. If informal resolution of the Dispute Item pursuant to Section 7.2 is unsuccessful, the FDIC Party, on the one hand, and the Assuming Institution, on the other hand, may submit to the other party written notification of a Dispute Item (a “Notice of Dispute”). The Notice of Dispute shall contain a description of the dispute, an estimate of the amount in issue and any other information required pursuant to this Article 7. The parties shall make good faith efforts to resolve the dispute by mutual agreement within thirty-five (35) Business Days following receipt of the Notice of Dispute. In furtherance of these efforts, the parties should consider the mutually agreed upon use of less formal dispute resolution techniques, which may include, but are not limited to, mediation, settlement conference, early neutral evaluation and any other dispute resolution proceedings (as defined in § 571(6) of the Administrative Dispute Resolution Act (“ADRA”), 5 U.S.C. § 571 et seq.), as amended).

 

7.4.                            Confidentiality of Compromise Negotiations. All good faith attempts to resolve or compromise a dispute pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.3 will be confidential. All such compromise negotiations, including any statements made or documents prepared by any party, attorney or other participant, are inadmissible as evidence in other proceedings and may not be construed for any purpose as admissions against interest.

 

7.5.                            Payment Resulting from Compromise Negotiations. If the FDIC Party and the Assuming Institution resolve a Dispute Item to their mutual satisfaction pursuant to Sections 7.2 or 7.3, including any dispute pursuant to Section 2.6, then within thirty (30) days following such resolution, the appropriate party shall make payment or take action as agreed by the parties.

 

7.6.                            Formal Resolution.

 

(a)                                 Arbitration Matters. Any Dispute Item which has an estimated amount in issue not exceeding $1,000,000 per Asset may be proposed by the party seeking relief (the “Claimant Party”) for arbitration pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.6. No more than three Dispute Items may be submitted for any single arbitration, provided that, by mutual agreement pursuant to Section 7.6(c), the parties may agree to submit any Dispute Item(s) to arbitration.

 

(b)                                 Proposal to Arbitrate. If the FDIC Party and the Assuming Institution do not resolve a Dispute Item pursuant to Sections 7.2 and 7.3, then within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the period provided in Section 7.3, the Claimant Party may propose to submit the unresolved Dispute Item to arbitration by notifying the other party (the “Respondent Party”) in writing.

 

(c)                                  Submission to Arbitration. The Respondent Party may agree to the Claimant Party’s proposal of arbitration by responding in writing within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such proposal. Within five (5) Business Days following receipt of the Respondent Party’s agreement to arbitrate, the Claimant Party may submit the Dispute Item to

 

C-25



 

the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for arbitration. No Dispute Item may be submitted for arbitration without the consent of both parties.

 

(d)                                 Waiver of Arbitration. If the Claimant Party does not (i) propose to submit the Dispute Item to arbitration within the period set forth in Section 7.6(b) or (ii) submit the Dispute Item to AAA within the period set forth in Section 7.6(c), then the Claimant Party shall be deemed to have waived submission of the Dispute Item to arbitration.

 

(e)                                  Litigation Matters. If the FDIC Party and the Assuming Institution do not agree to submit the Dispute Item to arbitration, the Dispute Item may be resolved by litigation in accordance with Federal or state law, as provided in Section 13.9 of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement. Any litigation shall be filed in a United States District Court in the proper district.

 

(f)                                   Arbitration Administrator. The FDIC Party may, in its discretion, appoint an organization other than AAA for administration of arbitration pursuant to this Section 7.6, in which case this Article 7 and the rules and procedures set forth herein, including the Commercial Arbitration Rules as referred to in Section 7.9, shall govern the arbitration. AAA or such other organization appointed pursuant to this Section 7.6(f) shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Arbitration Administrator.”

 

7.7.                            Limitation on FDIC Party. Nothing in this Article 7 shall be interpreted as obligating the FDIC Party to submit to a dispute resolution proceeding (as defined in ADRA at § 571(6)) any Dispute Item described in (i) ADRA, § 572(b) or (ii) the FDIC’s Statement of Policy Regarding Binding Arbitration, 66 Fed. Reg. 18632 (April 10, 2001), as amended, as a dispute for which an agency shall consider not using a dispute resolution proceeding.

 

7.8.                            Effectiveness of Agreement Pending Dispute. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that a Notice of Dispute is provided to a party under this Article 7 prior to the Termination Date, the terms of this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to the items set forth in such notice until the dispute with respect to such items has been finally resolved, and such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement even if that resolution occurs after the Termination Date.

 

7.9.                            Governing Rules and Law for Arbitration. Any arbitration shall be substantively governed by the Federal law of the United States of America, and in the absence of controlling Federal law, in accordance with the laws of the state in which the main office of the Failed Bank is located. The arbitration shall be procedurally governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Commercial Arbitration Rules”) established by AAA to the extent that such rules are not inconsistent with this Article 7, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“Federal Arbitration Act”), and ADRA., as each may be in effect at the time that the arbitration is initiated, except that the Commercial Arbitration Rules’ Expedited Procedures shall not apply unless the FDIC Party and Claimant Party otherwise agree in writing. The Review Board (as defined below) may modify the procedures set forth in such rules from time to time with the prior written approval of the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party.

 

7.10.                     Review Board Proceedings. The arbitration of a dispute shall be conducted by a review board (a “Review Board”) which shall consist of either one (1) or three (3) members

 

C-26



 

(each, a “Member”) with such expertise as the Claimant Party and Respondent Party agree is relevant. The Claimant Party shall specify, in its Notice of Dispute, the number of Members which it proposes for the Review Board.

 

(a)                                 Selection of Members.

 

(i)                                     Claimant Party Proposes One Member. If the Dispute Item(s) are less than $500,000 in total, the Claimant Party may propose that the Review Board shall consist of one Member, and shall state, in its Notice of Dispute, the name and address of the Member that it proposes for the Review Board. If the Respondent Party agrees, in its response to the Notice of Dispute, the Member suggested by the Claimant Party shall comprise the Review Board. If the Respondent Party agrees, in its response to the Notice of Dispute, that the Review Board shall consist of one Member, but states the name and address of a different proposed Member for the Review Board, then that Member shall be deemed acceptable to the Claimant Party if it submits the Notice of Dispute to the Arbitration Administrator, provided that, before the Respondent Party responds to the Notice of Dispute with a different proposed Member, the parties may also mutually agree upon one Member. If the Respondent Party proposes that the Review Board shall consist of three Members, then the Members shall be selected in accordance with Section 7.10(a)(iv).

 

(ii)                                  Claimant Party Proposes Three Members. If the Dispute Items exceed $500,000 in total, or if the Respondent Party proposes that the Review Board shall consist of three Members, then the Claimant Party shall state the name and address of the first of three Members in its Notice of Dispute. If the Respondent Party agrees that the Review Board shall consist of three Members, the Respondent Party shall state the name and address of the second Member in its response to the Notice of Dispute. Each such Member shall be considered a “Party-Appointed Arbitrator” (“Party-Appointed Arbitrator”), consistent with Commercial Arbitration Rule R-12. If the Claimant Party subsequently submits the Notice of Dispute to the Arbitration Administrator as provided in Section 7.6(c), then within ten (10) Business Days of such submission, the Party-Appointed Arbitrators shall select a neutral third Member (the “Neutral Member”) in accordance with Commercial Arbitration Rules R-11 and R-13, except that the Neutral Member need not be from the National Roster of Commercial Arbitrators. If the Respondent Party proposes that the Review Board shall consist of one Member, then the Member shall be selected in accordance with Section 7.10(a)(iii).

 

(iii)                               Respondent Party Proposes One Member. If the Claimant Party proposes that the Review Board shall consist of three Members, but the Respondent Party proposes that the Review Board shall consist of one Member in its response to the Notice of Dispute, then the Member proposed by the Claimant Party in the Notice of Dispute shall comprise the Review Board unless the Respondent Party states the name and address of a different proposed Member in its response to the Notice of Dispute. If the Respondent Party proposes a different Member in its response to the Notice of Dispute, then that Member shall be deemed acceptable to the Claimant Party if it submits the Notice of Dispute to the Arbitration Administrator.

 

C-27



 

(iv)                              Respondent Party Proposes Three Members. If the Claimant Party proposes that the Review Board shall consist of one Member, but the Respondent Party proposes, in its response to the Notice of Dispute, that the Review Board shall consist of three Members, then the Member proposed by the Claimant Party in the Notice of Dispute shall comprise the first Member of the Review Board. The Respondent Party shall state the name and address of the second Member in its response to the Notice of Dispute. Each such Member shall be considered a Party-Appointed Arbitrator. If the Claimant Party subsequently submits the Notice of Dispute to the Arbitration Administrator, a Neutral Member shall be selected in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section 7.10(a)(ii).

 

(b)                                 Removal of Members. A Party-Appointed Arbitrator may be removed at any time by the party who appointed that Member upon five (5) Business Days notice to the other party of the selection of a replacement Member. The Neutral Member may be removed by unanimous action of the Party-Appointed Arbitrators or unanimous action of the parties after five (5) Business Days notice to the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party and the Arbitration Administrator of the selection of a replacement Neutral Member.

 

(c)                                  Vacancies. Any vacancy on the Review Board prior to or after the commencement of the hearing of evidence and argument (the “Arbitration Hearing”) shall be handled in accordance with Commercial Arbitration Rule R-19, except that if a vacancy arises after the Arbitration Hearing has commenced, a substitute Member shall be selected in accordance with the rules under which the original Member was selected.

 

7.11.                     Impartiality. As a condition of serving on the Review Board, within five (5) Business Days after being selected, each Member shall provide a written oath, under penalty of perjury, containing a statement that the Member does not have any conflicts of interest (whether official, financial, personal or otherwise) with respect to the issues or parties in controversy, and that each Member agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Article 7 as applicable to the Members. If a Member has any potential conflict of interest, the Member shall fully disclose such interest in writing to the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party and the Member shall not serve on the Review Board, unless the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party agree otherwise. The Conflicts Committee of the Legal Division of the Corporation shall review any potential conflicts of interest for potential waiver. None of the Members may serve as counsel, advisor, witness or representative to any party to the arbitration.

 

7.12.                     Schedule. The Review Board shall assume control of the arbitration process and shall schedule all events as expeditiously as possible. The Arbitration Hearing shall commence within ninety (90) Business Days after receipt of the Notice of Dispute by the Arbitration Administrator.

 

7.13.                     Written Award. Within twenty (20) Business Days following closing of the Arbitration Hearing, as determined by Commercial Arbitration Rule R-35, the Review Board shall determine the prevailing party and award the prevailing party its proposed award/award any remedy or relief that the arbitrator deems just and equitable and within the scope of this Article 7, but in no event may an award of the Review Board (inclusive of all claims and counterclaims) exceed the maximum amount set forth in Section 7.6(a) of this Agreement. If the Review Board consists of three (3) Members, the determination of any two (2) Members shall constitute the

 

C-28



 

Review Board’s determination. The Review Board shall present to the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party a written award regarding the dispute. The written award shall contain a brief, informal discussion of the factual and legal basis for the award and need not contain formal findings of facts and law.

 

7.14.                     Interest Rate on Award. Any award amounts ultimately determined to be payable pursuant to the Review Board’s written award shall bear interest at the Settlement Interest Rate from a beginning date specified by the Review Board in its written award and until the date on which payment is made.

 

7.15.                     Payments. All payments required to be made under this Article 7 shall be made by wire transfer and within fifteen (15) Business Days following the date on which the award becomes final, as provided by ADRA at § 580(b). The Review Board will have no authority to award any punitive, consequential, special or exemplary damages.

 

7.16.                     Fees, Costs and Expenses. The Review Board will have no authority to award attorneys’ fees or costs incurred by either party to the arbitration. Each party will bear the fees, costs, and expenses which it incurs in connection with the submission of any dispute to a Review Board, including the fees and expenses of the Member which it selected in accordance with the Arbitration Administrator’s fee schedule. The Claimant Party and the Respondent Party will share equally the fees and expenses of the Neutral Member and any administrative fees of the arbitration (which shall not include the fees and expenses of the Members). No fees, costs or expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Assuming Institution shall be subject to reimbursement by the Receiver under this Article 7 or otherwise.

 

7.17.                     Binding and Conclusive Nature. Arbitration of a dispute pursuant to this Article 7 shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties and not subject to further dispute or review, and judgment upon the award made by the Review Board may be entered in accordance with applicable law in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Other than as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act and ADRA, no review, appeal or reconsideration of the Review Board’s determination shall be permitted, including review, appeal or reconsideration by the Review Board or any other arbitrators. The parties agree to faithfully observe the provisions of this Article 7 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules, and the parties agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the Review Board.

 

7.18.                     No Precedent. No decision, interpretation, determination, analysis, statement, award or other pronouncement of a Review Board shall constitute precedent in regard to any subsequent proceeding (whether or not such proceeding involves dispute resolution under this 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 that may have convened in connection with a transaction involving other failed financial institutions or Federal assistance transactions.

 

7.19.                     Confidentiality; Proceedings, Information and Documents. No arbitration held pursuant to this Article 7 shall be public or accessible to any person other than the parties and their representatives, the Review Board and witnesses participating in the arbitration (and then, only to the extent of their participation). Each party and each Member shall strictly

 

C-29



 

maintain the confidentiality of all issues, disputes, arguments, positions and interpretations of any such proceeding, as well as all testimony, pleadings, filings, discovery, information, attachments, enclosures, exhibits, summaries, compilations, studies, analyses, notes, documents, statements, schedules and other similar items associated therewith (“Confidential Information”), in accordance with the provisions of ADRA. In the event that disclosure of Confidential Information is required pursuant to law, rule or regulation, or in the event that disclosure is required pursuant to statute or court determination as provided by ADRA, then to the extent reasonably practicable, the person required to make the disclosure shall provide the other party or parties with written notice of such disclosure within one (1) Business Day following the request that it make such disclosure, and in any event prior to making such disclosure, so that the other party or parties may seek a protective order.

 

7.20.                     Confidentiality of Arbitration Award. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.19, no party has any duty of confidentiality with respect to any arbitration award made pursuant to this Article 7.
