ARTICLE III. PURCHASE OF ASSETS AND QUALIFIED FINANCIAL CONTRACTS. 3.1. Assets and Qualified Financial Contracts Purchased by Assuming Institution. With the exception of assets and (to the extent not constituting assets) Qualified Financial Contracts and QFC Related Items that are expressly excluded in Sections 3.5 and 3.6, the Assuming Institution purchases from the Receiver, and the Receiver sells, assigns, transfers, conveys, and delivers to the Assuming Institution all right, title, and interest of the Receiver in and Version 13.2 - Pl.JRCHASE AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT SIGNATURE BRIDGE BANK, NA New York, New York
to all assets (real, personal, and mixed, wherever located and however acquired) and (to the extent not constituting assets) all Qualified Financial Contracts and all QFC Related Items relating to each Qualified Financial Contract (in each case, 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. The Assuming Institution purchases all Acquired Assets subject to all liabilities for indebtedness collateralized by Liens affecting those Acquired Assets to the extent provided in Section 2.1. The Receiver will cooperate with the Assuming Institution to remove any Liens in favor of the Federal Reserve Banks and Federal Home Loan Banks on any Acquired Assets . 3.2. Asset Purchase Price. (a) Determination of Asset Purchase Price. All Acquired Assets and assets of the Failed Bank subject to an option to purchase by the Assuming Institution will 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 in this Agreement. Any Acquired Asset for which no purchase price is specified on Schedule 3.2 or otherwise in this Agreement will be purchased at its Book Value. The purchase price for Acquired Subsidiaries will be adjusted pursuant to Section 4.6(i)(iv), if applicable. (b) Purchase Price for Securities. The purchase price of any security (other than the capital stock of any Acquired Subsidiary, Federal Home Loan Bank stock, repossessed securities, and any Qualified Financial Contract that constitutes a security) purchased under Section 3.1 by the Assuming Institution consists 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 includes accrued interest, where applicable, as noted below. (i) Definition of Market Price: The market price of any security is (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 Intercontinental Exchange (ICE) Data Services' Continuous Evaluated Pricing Services (CEP), or (ii) provided that if that market price is not available for that security, the Receiver will notify the Assuming Institution and the Assuming Institution will submit a purchase price bid for that security within three (3) days of notification (unless the Assuming Institution and the Receiver agree to a different time period) and the Receiver, in its sole and absolute discretion, will accept or reject that purchase price bid. In the absence of a market price or an acceptable purchase price bid from the Assuming Institution, or if a security is deemed essential to the Receiver as determined by the Receiver in its discretion under Section 3.6 of this Agreement, that security will not pass to the Assuming Institution and will be an excluded asset under this Agreement and listed on Schedule 3.5(1). (ii) Calculation of Purchase Price: The bank's ownership interest in a security will be quantified as either: (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 Version 13.2 - PURCHASE AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT SIGNATURE BRIDGE BANK, NA New York. New York
pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph) will be calculated as either, depending on whether or not the security is an equity security: (i) the purchase price for an equity security will be calculated by multiplying the number of shares or other units by the applicable market price per unit; and (ii) the purchase price for a non-equity security will be an amount equal to the applicable market price (expressed as a decimal), multiplied by the par value for that security (based on the payment factor most recently widely available). The purchase price also will include accrued interest as calculated in accordance with the following paragraph, 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 will be subject to adjustment post-closing based on a "cancel and correct" procedure. Under this procedure, after that 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. The resulting amount will then be paid as part of the settlement process pursuant to Article VIII. (iii) Calculation of Accrued Interest for Securities: Accrued interest will 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 that are Transferred QFCs will be valued and purchased at QFC Contract Value (positive or negative). The Receiver and the Assuming Institution will equally share any costs associated with the determination ofQFC Contract Value. 3.3. Manner of Conveyance; Limited Warranty; Nonrecourse; Etc. THE CONVEYANCE OF ALL ACQUIRED ASSETS, INCLUDING REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY INTERESTS, PURCHASED BY THE ASSUMING INSTITUTION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL 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 THOSE ACQUIRED 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.

(e) Purchase Price and Payment Date. The Receiver will purchase each Acquired Asset pursuant to this Section 3.4 at a purchase price equal to the Repurchase Price of the Acquired Asset minus the Related Liability Amount applicable to the Acquired Asset, determined as of the applicable Put Date. If the difference between the Repurchase Price and the Related Liability Amount is positive, then the Receiver will pay to the Assuming Institution the amount of the difference; if the difference between those amounts is negative, then the Assuming Institution will pay to the Receiver the amount of the difference. The Assuming Institution or the Receiver, as the case may be, will pay the amount determined pursuant to this Section 3.4 no later than the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the applicable Put Date, plus interest on that amount at the Settlement Interest Rate for the period from and including that Put Date to and including the day preceding the date on which payment is made.

ARTICLE VIII. ADJUSTMENTS; SETTLEMENT PROCESS. 8.1. Pro Forma Statement. The Receiver, as soon as practicable after the Bank Closing Date, in accordance with the best information then available, will provide to the Assuming Institution a Pro Forma Statement reflecting any adjustments of those liabilities and assets as may be necessary so that the Pro Forma Statement is consistent with the requirements of this Agreement. That Pro Forma Statement will take into account, to the extent possible, among other items, (a) liabilities and assets ofa nature similar to those contemplated by Section 2.1 or Section 3.1, respectively, that on the Bank Closing Date were carried in the Failed Bank's suspense accounts, (b) accruals as of the Bank Closing Date for all income related to the Acquired Assets and business of the Failed Bank acquired by the Assuming Institution, whether or not those accruals were reflected on the Failed Bank Records in the normal course of its operations, and (c) adjustments to determine the Book Value of any investment in an Acquired Subsidiary and related accounts on the ''bank only" (unconsolidated) balance sheet of the Failed Bank based on the Equity Method of Accounting, whether or not the Failed Bank used the Equity Method of Accounting for investments in subsidiaries, except that the resulting amount cannot be less than the Acquired Subsidiary's recorded equity as of the Bank Closing Date as reflected on the Failed Bank Records of the Acquired Subsidiary. Acquired Subsidiaries with negative equity will be restated to $1 pursuant to the Equity Method of Accounting. Any Acquired Asset purchased by the Assuming Institution or any asset of an Acquired Subsidiary purchased by the Assuming Institution pursuant to Section 3.1 that was partially or wholly charged off during the period beginning the day after the Bid Valuation Date and ending on the Bank Closing Date will be deemed not to be charged off for the purposes of the Pro Forma Statement, and the purchase price will be determined pursuant to Section 3.2. In accordance with Section 3.2(c), in preparing the Pro Forma Statement each Qualified Financial Contract will be included at QFC Contract Value (positive or negative) and, if a Qualified Financial Contract is a liability, no further liability amount will be included for purposes of preparing the Pro Forma Statement. 8.2. Correction of Errors and Omissions; Adiustments for Certain Liabilities. ( a) Adjustments to Correct Errors. If any bookkeeping omissions or errors are discovered in preparing the Pro Forma Statement or in completing the transfers and assumptions contemplated by this Agreement, the parties to this Agreement will correct those Version 13.2 - PURCHASE AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMEITT SIGNATURE BRIDGE BANK, NA New York. New York
errors and omissions, and, as far as practicable, all adjustments will be made consistent with the judgments, methods, policies, or accounting principles used by the Failed Bank in preparing and maintaining Failed Bank Records, except that adjustments made pursuant to this Section 8.2( a) are not intended to bring the Failed Bank Records into accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. (b) Adjustments for Certain Liabilities. (i) If the Receiver discovers at any time subsequent to the date of this Agreement that any claim exists against the Failed Bank that is of such a nature that it would have been included in the liabilities assumed under Article II had the existence of that claim or the facts giving rise to that claim been known as of the Bank Closing Date, the Receiver may, in its discretion, at any time, require that claim be assumed by the Assuming Institution in a manner consistent with the intent of this Agreement. The Receiver will make appropriate adjustments to the Pro Forma Statement provided by the Receiver to the Assuming Institution pursuant to Section 8.1 as may be necessary. (ii) If the Assuming Institution returns all or a portion of any Deposit to the Receiver or the Corporation at the direction of the Receiver or the Corporation pursuant to Section 9.5, the Receiver will make appropriate adjustments pursuant to Article VIII for the portion of the Bid Amount applicable to that returned Deposit and any related Deposit premium. (c) Other Adjustments. If the Failed Bank transferred, after the Bid Valuation Date, an asset to a Subsidiary that is not an Acquired Subsidiary and the Assuming Institution would have purchased that asset under Section 3.1 but for that transfer, the Receiver will make an adjustment to the Initial Payment (or subsequent payments) in an amount equal to (i) the Book Value of that transferred asset divided by (ii) the Book Value of all Acquired Assets plus the Book Value of that transferred asset plus the Book Value of other similarly transferred assets, then multiplied by (iii) the Acquired Asset premium (discount) bid set forth in Article VII. This adjustment will be as a credit to the Assuming Institution in the case of an Acquired Asset premium bid and a credit to the Receiver in the case of an Acquired Asset discount bid. For purposes of this Section 8.2(c), Book Value means, solely with respect to the applicable asset transferred to a Subsidiary that is not an Acquired Subsidiary, that value stated on the Failed Bank Records as of the Bid Valuation Date. 8.3. Payments. Either the Receiver will cause to be paid to the Assuming Institution or the Assuming Institution will pay to the Receiver, as the case may be, on the Settlement Date, a payment in an amount that reflects net adjustments (including any costs, expenses, and fees associated with determinations of value as provided in this Agreement) made pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 8.2, plus interest as provided in Section 8.4. The Receiver and the Assuming Institution will effect on the Settlement Date any further transfer of assets to or assumption of liabilities or claims by the Assuming Institution as may be necessary in accordance with Section 8.1 or Section 8.2. 8.4. Interest. Any amounts paid under Section 8.3 or Section 8.5 will bear interest for the period from and including the day following the Bank Closing Date to and including the day preceding the payment at the Settlement Interest Rate.

If the Assuming Institution does not timely deliver to the Receiver executable conveyance instruments or documents and a copy of the recorded document with the recording information as contemplated by this Section for each Bank Premises and Other Real Estate to be acquired by the Assuming Institution, the Receiver may elect to prepare, execute, and file any conveyance instruments or documents, and the Assuming Institution will promptly reimburse the Receiver $1,000 for each conveyance instrument or document deemed desirable or necessary, in the Receiver's sole discretion, to vest legal title in the Assuming Institution, plus all costs incurred by the Receiver to do so, including outside counsel fees, title searches and reports, filing fees and taxes, transfer fees, and document stamps. 9.3.

If any Person institutes an action at law or in equity against the Receiver and the Corporation as codefendants with respect to any asset or (to the extent not included as an asset) Qualified Financial Contract or its QFC Related Item of the Failed Bank retained or acquired pursuant to this Agreement by the Receiver, the Receiver will, at the request of the Corporation, join with the Corporation in a petition to remove the action to the United States District Court for the proper district. The Receiver will institute, with or without joinder of the Corporation as co-plaintiff, any action with respect to any retained or acquired asset, or Qualified Financial Contract or its QFC Related Item, or any matter connected with either of the foregoing when the Corporation directs the Receiver to institute that action. 9.4. Payment of Deposits. If 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 Deposit liability, the Assuming Institution, upon demand from the Receiver, will provide to the Receiver funds sufficient to pay that claim in an amount not in excess of the Deposit liability reflected on the books of the Assuming Institution at the time that claim is made. Upon payment by the Assuming Institution to the Receiver of that amount, the Assuming Institution will be discharged from any further obligation under this Agreement to pay to that depositor the amount of that Deposit liability paid to the Receiver. 9.5.

If that deposit balance has been paid to the depositor prior to a demand for return by the Corporation or the Receiver, and payment of that deposit balance had not been previously withheld pursuant to this Section 9.5, the Assuming Institution will not be required to return that deposit balance to the Receiver or the Corporation. The Assuming Institution will reimburse the Corporation or the Receiver, as the case may be, for the amount of any deposit balance or portion of any deposit balance paid by the Assuming Institution in contravention of any previous direction to withhold payment of that deposit balance or return that deposit balance the payment of which was withheld pursuant to this Section 9 .5. 9.6.

According to federal law under 12 U.S.C., 1822(e), on [Date: eighteen months from the Closing Date], [Name of Assuming Institution] must transfer the funds in your account(s) back to the FDIC if you have not claimed your account(s) with [Name of Assuming Institution]. Based on the records recently supplied to us by [Name of Assuming Institution], your account(s) currently fall into this category. This letter is your formal Legal Notice that you have until [Date: eighteen months from the Closing Date], to claim or arrange to continue your account(s) with [Name of Assuming Institution]. There are several ways that you can claim your account(s) at [Name of Assuming Institution]. It is only necessary for you to take any one of the following actions in order for your account(s) at [Name of Assuming Institution] to be deemed claimed.

Write to [Name of Assuming Institution] and notify them that you wish to keep your account(s) active with them. Please be sure to include the name of the account(s), the account number(s), the signature of an authorized signer on the account(s), name, and address.

However, if the state refuses to take custody of your deposits, you will be able to claim them from the FDIC until the receivership is terminated.
