Institution solely pursuant to this Section 2.1(l), and (ii) the liabilities and obligations assumed by the Assuming Institution with respect to Transferred QFCs pursuant to this Section 2.1(l) will be the full amount of liabilities and obligations with respect to that Transferred QFCs and (for avoidance of doubt) will not be subject to any limitation on amount set forth in any other provision of this Section 2.1;

2.2. Liabilities Not Assumed by the Assuming Institution. Except for the Liabilities Assumed expressly set forth above, the Assuming Institution shall not assume any claims, debts, obligations or liabilities (whether known or unknown, contingent or unasserted, matured or unmatured), however they may be characterized, that the Failed Bank has, or may now or in the future have, including, (a) the claims, debts, obligations or liabilities of the Failed Bank relating to the contracts listed on Schedule 2.2 (the “Excluded Contracts”); and (b) any direct or indirect Tax liabilities or obligations of the Failed Bank that are attributable to any taxable period (or portion thereof) ending on or before the Bank Closing Date;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Assuming Institution shall not assume: (a) any claim against or liability of the FDIC in its capacity as receiver for the Failed Bank that, under and in accordance with applicable law, was, is or will be subject to the receivership administrative claims processes administered by the FDIC in its capacity as receiver for the Failed Bank pursuant to 12 U.S.C. §1821(d)(3) through (13), including claims and liabilities that are affirmative or defensive, now existing or arising in the future, contingent or fixed, monetary or non-monetary, equitable or legal, or declarative or injunctive; or (b) any claim against or liability based on any alleged act or omission of the Failed Bank which is not provable or allowable, or is otherwise barred against the FDIC as receiver for the Failed Bank under applicable law, including claims and liabilities that are barred under 12 U.S.C. §§1821(c), (d), (e) (including §1821(e)(3)), (i), or (j); 12 U.S.C. §1822; 12 U.S.C. §1823; or 12 U.S.C. §1825); or (c) any claim against or liability of the FDIC in its capacity as receiver for the Failed Bank that, under and in accordance with applicable law, was, is or will be subject to other similar federal and state laws (including statutory and common law) doctrines that protect financial institution receivers and their assignees

The claims, debts, obligations and liabilities referred to in this Section 2.2 are collectively referred to as the “Excluded Liabilities”.

2.3. Interest on Deposit Liabilities. The Assuming Institution, from and after the Bank Closing Date, will accrue and pay interest on Assumed Deposits pursuant to Section 2.1 at a rate(s) it determines; provided, that for non-transaction Deposit liabilities, the rate(s) will not be less than the lowest rate offered by the Assuming Institution to its depositors for non-transaction deposit accounts. The Assuming Institution will permit each depositor to withdraw, without penalty for early withdrawal, all or any portion of that depositor’s Deposit, whether or not the Assuming Institution elects to pay interest in accordance with any deposit agreement formerly existing between the Failed Bank and that depositor; and further provided, that if the Deposit has been pledged to secure an obligation of the depositor or other party, any withdrawal of that Deposit will be subject to the terms of the agreement governing the pledge. The Assuming Institution will give notice to those depositors as provided in Section 5.3 of the rate(s) of interest that it has determined to pay and of those withdrawal rights.

2.4. Unclaimed Deposits.

(a) Final Legal Notice. Fourteen (14) months following the Bank Closing Date, the Assuming Institution will provide the Receiver a listing of all deposit accounts, including the type of account, not claimed by the depositor. The Receiver will review the list and authorize the Assuming Institution to act on behalf of the Receiver to send a Final Legal Notice in a form substantially similar to Exhibit 2.3A (the “Final Legal Notice”) to each owner of the unclaimed deposits with a reminder of the need to claim or arrange to continue their account(s) with the Assuming Institution. The Assuming Institution will send the Final Legal Notice to the depositors within fifteen (15) days following notification of the Receiver’s authorization.

(b) Unclaimed Deposits. If, within eighteen (18) months after the Bank Closing Date, any depositor of the Failed Bank does not claim or arrange to continue that depositor’s Assumed Deposits at the Assuming Institution, the Assuming Institution will, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the end of that eighteen (18) month period, (i) refund to the Receiver the full amount of each such Deposit (without reduction for service charges), (ii) provide to the Receiver a schedule of all refunded Deposits in the form prescribed by the Receiver, and (iii) assign, transfer, convey, and deliver to the Receiver, all right, title, and interest of the Assuming Institution in and to the Failed Bank Records previously transferred to the Assuming Institution and other records generated or maintained by the Assuming Institution pertaining to those Deposits. During that eighteen (18) month period, at the request of the Receiver, the Assuming Institution will promptly provide to the Receiver schedules of unclaimed Deposits in the form prescribed by the Receiver.

2.5. Employee Plans. Except as provided in Section 4.12, the Assuming Institution will have no liabilities, obligations, or responsibilities under the Failed Bank’s health care, bonus, vacation, pension, profit sharing, deferred compensation, 401k, stock purchase plans, or similar plans, if any, unless the Receiver and the Assuming Institution agree otherwise subsequent to the date of this Agreement.

2.6. Option to Purchase Foreign Branches. The Receiver grants to the Assuming Institution an exclusive option for the period of ten (10) Business Days commencing the day after the Bank Closing Date with respect to the Foreign Branches. The Assuming Institution will give written notice to the Receiver within the option period of its election to purchase or not to purchase any of the Foreign Branches. The Receiver will cooperate with the Assuming Institution to facilitate any required approval, licensing, authorization, registration, and declaration, as applicable (collectively, the “Foreign Approvals”), of any governmental regulatory agency or other third party governmental authority regulating such Foreign Branches in connection with such acquisition. The Assuming Institution must further obtain an Approval and Vesting Order of the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (Commercial List) under the Winding-Up and Restructuring Act, which shall be a final order, authorizing the purchase and sale of the Canadian Assets by the Assuming Institution pursuant to subparagraphs 7(g) and (h) of the Winding-up Order issued by such court on March 15, 2023, in order to purchase the Canadian Assets. The Receiver may, in its sole and absolute discretion, manage the Foreign Branches during the period from the Bank Closing Date until the date the Receiver receives the purchase price for any such acquired Foreign Branch from the Assuming Institution. The Assuming Institution must pay the purchase price for any Foreign Branch to the Receiver within 5 business days of after its receipt of Foreign Approval for the acquisition of a Foreign Branch.

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 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the term Acquired Assets specifically includes all assets, whether or not specifically identified, that enable the ongoing operation of the bank and its Private Bank and Wealth Management operating segment consistent with prior operations, except as otherwise excluded in this Agreement.

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(l).

(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 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 of QFC 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. Puts of Assets to the Receiver.

(a) Puts Within 30 Days or 40 Days After the Bank Closing Date.

(i) During the thirty (30)-day period following the Bank Closing Date (which thirty (30)-day period may be extended in writing in the sole and absolute discretion of the Receiver for any Loan), the Assuming Institution may require the Receiver to purchase (x) any Deposit Secured Loan transferred to the Assuming Institution pursuant to Section 3.1 that 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 that collateral or (y) any New Loan; provided that, (I) the Assuming Institution may not require the purchase of a Deposit Secured Loan that is secured by an Assumed Deposit until any Deposit setoff determination, whether voluntary or involuntary, has been made and (II) the Assuming Institution may not require the purchase of any Loan (x) that is a Transferred QFC, or (y) in respect of which a Related Liability constituting a Transferred QFC exists.

(ii) During the forty (40)-day period following the Bank Closing Date, the Assuming Institution may require the Receiver to purchase, any Eligible Overdraft transferred to the Assuming Institution pursuant to Section 3.1 that existed on the thirtieth (30th) day following the Bank Closing Date.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Assuming Institution may not require the Receiver to purchase any Loan pursuant to Section 3.4(a) if (x) the Obligor with respect to that Loan is an Acquired Subsidiary or (y) the Assuming Institution has:

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

(B) taken any action that caused an increase in the amount of a Related Liability with respect to that Loan;

(C) created or permitted to be created any Lien on that Loan that secures indebtedness for money borrowed or that constitutes a conditional sales agreement, capital lease or other title retention agreement;

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

(c) Notices to the Receiver. If the Assuming Institution elects to require the Receiver to purchase one or more Acquired Assets pursuant to this Section 3.4, the Assuming Institution will deliver to the Receiver a notice (“Put Notice”) which must include:

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

(ii) a list of all Related Liabilities with respect to the Acquired Assets identified in the Put Notice; and

(iii) a statement of the estimated Repurchase Price of each Acquired Asset identified in the Put Notice as of the applicable Put Date (defined below).

The Put Notice must be in the form prescribed by the Receiver or other form to which the Receiver has consented. As provided in Section 9.6, the Assuming Institution will deliver to the Receiver all documents, Credit Files, and additional information relating to the subject matter of the Put Notice as the Receiver may request, and the Assuming Institution will provide the Receiver with full access to all other relevant books and records.

(d) Purchase by Receiver. The Receiver will purchase the Acquired Assets that are specified in the Put Notice and will assume Related Liabilities with respect to those Acquired Assets. The transfer of those Acquired Assets and Related Liabilities will be effective as of a date determined by the Receiver, which date will 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. 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.

(g) Reversals. If the Receiver purchases an Acquired Asset that it is not required to purchase pursuant to this Section 3.4, the Assuming Institution will repurchase that Acquired Asset (and assume any Related Liability with respect to that Acquired Asset that was assumed by the Receiver) from the Receiver at a price computed so as to achieve the same economic result as would apply if the Receiver had never purchased that Acquired Asset pursuant to this Section 3.4.

(h) Transfer to Receiver without Recourse. The Assuming Institution will transfer any Acquired Asset pursuant to this Section 3.4 to the Receiver without recourse and will indemnify the Receiver against any and all claims of any Person claiming by, through or under the Assuming Institution with respect to that Acquired Asset, as provided in Section 12.4.

With respect to Electronically Stored Information, the Assuming Institution will maintain those Failed Bank Records in an easily accessible and useable format. If those Failed Bank Records are maintained by a third party vendor, the Assuming Institution is responsible for ensuring that the third party complies with this Article VI.

(b) Destruction of Certain Failed Bank Records. With regard to all Failed Bank Records of which the Assuming Institution has custody that are at least ten (10) years old as of the date of the appointment of the Receiver, the Assuming Institution will request written permission to destroy those Failed Bank Records by submitting a written request to destroy, specifying precisely which Failed Bank Records are included in the request, as indicated in Section 13.6(b) for those requests.

(c) Destruction of Failed Bank Records after Six Years. With regard to all Failed Bank Records of which the Assuming Institution has custody that have been maintained in its custody after six (6) years from the date of the appointment of the Receiver, the Assuming Institution will request written permission to destroy those Failed Bank Records by submitting a written request to destroy, specifying precisely which Failed Bank Records are included in the request, as indicated in Section 13.6(b) for those requests.

6.4. Access to Failed Bank Records; Copies. The Assuming Institution will permit the Receiver, the SVB Receiver, and the Corporation access to all Failed Bank Records of which the Assuming Institution has custody, and to use, inspect, make extracts from, or request copies of those Failed Bank Records in the manner and to the extent requested, and to duplicate, in the discretion of the Receiver, the SVB Receiver, or the Corporation, any Failed Bank Record; provided, that if the Failed Bank maintained one or more duplicate copies of those Failed Bank Records, the Assuming Institution assigns, transfers, and conveys to the Corporation one duplicate copy of those Failed Bank Records without cost to the Corporation, and will deliver to the Corporation all Failed Bank Records assigned and transferred to the Corporation under this Article VI as soon as practicable on or after the date of this Agreement. The party requesting a copy of any Failed Bank Record will bear the cost (based on standard accepted industry charges to the extent applicable, as determined by the Receiver) for providing that duplicate Failed Bank Record. The Assuming Institution will provide a copy of each Failed Bank Record upon the request of the Receiver or the SVB Receiver. If the Receiver, the SVB Receiver, or Corporation is seeking access to a Failed Bank Record from the Assuming Institution, the Receiver, SVB Receiver or Corporation need not provide a subpoena to obtain access to the Failed Bank Records in the Assuming Institution’s custody. The SVB Receiver is an express third party beneficiary for purposes of enforcing its rights under this Section 6.4.

6.5. Failed Bank Record Privacy. The Assuming Institution will comply with any law or regulation or any order, writ, or decree of any court or governmental authority applicable to Failed Bank Records.

ARTICLE VII. BID; INITIAL PAYMENT.

The Assuming Institution has submitted to the Receiver a Deposit premium bid of 0.00% and an Acquired Asset premium (discount) bid of ($16,450,000,000.00) (the “Bid Amount”). The Deposit premium bid will be applied to the total of all Assumed Deposits except for those Assumed Deposits as reflected on Schedule 7. On the Payment Date, the Assuming Institution will pay to the Corporation, or the Corporation will pay to the Assuming Institution, as the case may be, the Initial Payment, plus interest on that amount (if the Payment Date is not the day following the Bank Closing Date) from and including the day following the Bank Closing Date to and including the day preceding the Payment Date at the Settlement Interest Rate. The Assuming Institution has also elected to pay a portion of the Initial Payment by issuing a Note in the amount of thirty-five billion dollars and no cents ($35,000,000,000.00) which the Assuming Institution shall execute and deliver, and in the case of the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement, shall cause the Custodian and Paying Agent to execute and deliver, to the Receiver such Note and the other PA Financing Transaction Documents, in each case in the form provided by the Receiver, on the date hereof. In addition to the Initial Payment, the Assuming Institution will also deliver to the Receiver on the date hereof an executed Equity Appreciation Instrument. It is the policy of the FDIC Receiver not to vote common stock of publicly traded banks or a bank holding company held by the FDIC Receiver except for purposes of establishing a quorum for annual or special meetings.

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 of a 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; Adjustments 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 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. If the Receiver is required to make any payment to the Assuming Institution

pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Receiver shall have the option of either making such payment in cash or setting off such payment against the principal of the Note. In the event that the Receiver elects to make such payment in cash, the Receiver shall make such payment to the Paying Agent (as defined in the PA Financing Documents), and such payment to the Paying Agent shall constitute payment thereof to the Assuming Institution. The payment made to the Paying Agent shall be applied, in accordance with the Custodial and Paying Agency Agreement as a prepayment of the Note (on the same day or the immediately following business day).

8.4. Interest. Any amounts paid under Section 8.3 shall bear interest for the period from and including the day following Bank Closing Date to and including the day preceding the payment at the Note Interest Rate, and any amounts paid under 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.

8.5. Subsequent Adjustments. If the Assuming Institution or the Receiver discovers any errors or omissions as contemplated by Section 8.2 or any error with respect to the payment made under Section 8.3 after the Settlement Date, the Assuming Institution and the Receiver will promptly correct those errors or omissions, make any payments, and effect any transfers or assumptions as may be necessary to reflect any correction plus interest as provided in Section 8.4.

ARTICLE IX. CONTINUING COOPERATION.

9.1. General Matters. The parties to this Agreement will, in good faith and with their best efforts, cooperate with each other to carry out the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to effect the purposes of this Agreement.

9.2. Additional Title Documents.

(a) Mutual Cooperation. The Receiver, the Corporation, and the Assuming Institution each will, at any time and from time to time, upon the request of any party to this Agreement, execute and deliver any additional instruments and documents of conveyance reasonably necessary to vest in the appropriate party its full legal or equitable title in and to the property conveyed pursuant to this Agreement or to be conveyed in accordance with this Agreement. The Assuming Institution will prepare those instruments and documents of conveyance (in form and substance satisfactory to the Receiver) necessary to vest title to the Acquired Assets in the Assuming Institution. The Assuming Institution will prepare and record those instruments and documents of conveyance at its own expense.

(b) Timely Preparation and Recordation of Vesting Instruments and Deeds. Within thirty (30) days of either (i) the Bank Closing Date or (ii) the date the Assuming Institution exercises any option to acquire any Bank Premises or Other Real Estate, whichever is applicable under this Agreement, the Assuming Institution will prepare and deliver to the Receiver for Receiver’s execution all necessary conveyance instruments and documents. No later than thirty (30) days after Assuming Institution’s receipt of any executed conveyance instrument or document from the Receiver, the Assuming Institution will file it with the appropriate recording agencies and provide the Receiver with a copy of the document containing the recording information. 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. Claims and Suits.

(a) Defense and Settlement. The Receiver is entitled, in its discretion, to (i) defend or settle any claim or suit against the Assuming Institution with respect to which the Receiver has indemnified the Assuming Institution in the same manner and to the same extent as provided in Article XII, and (ii) defend or settle any claim or suit against the Assuming Institution with respect to any Liability Assumed, which claim or suit may result in a loss to the Receiver arising out of or related to this Agreement, or that existed against the Failed Bank on or before the Bank Closing Date. The exercise by the Receiver of any rights under this Section 9.3(a) will not release the Assuming Institution with respect to any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) Removal of Actions. 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. 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 that deposit balance. Upon that direction, the Assuming Institution will hold that deposit and not to make any payment of that deposit balance to or on behalf of the depositor, or to itself, whether by way of transfer, set-off or otherwise. The Assuming Institution will maintain the “withheld payment” status of that 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 will return all or any portion of that deposit balance to the Receiver or the Corporation, as appropriate, and thereupon the Assuming Institution will have no further liability to that depositor with respect to that returned deposit balance. 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. Proceedings with Respect to Certain Assets and Liabilities.

(a) Cooperation by Assuming Institution. In connection with any investigation, proceeding, or other matter with respect to any asset or liability of the Failed Bank retained by the Receiver, or any asset or liability of the Failed Bank acquired by the Receiver pursuant to this Agreement, the Assuming Institution will cooperate to the extent reasonably required by the Receiver.

(b) Access to Records. In addition to its obligations under Section 6.4, the Assuming Institution will provide representatives of the Receiver access at reasonable times and locations without other limitation or qualification to (i) its directors, officers, employees, and agents, and those of the Acquired Subsidiaries, and (ii) its books and records, the books and records of those Acquired Subsidiaries and all Credit Files, and copies thereof. The Assuming Institution will promptly provide copies of books, records, and Credit Files as requested by the Receiver, and the Receiver will pay the costs of duplication.

(c) Loan Documents. No later than ten (10) days after the Put Notice pursuant to Section 3.4 or the date of the notice of transfer of any Loan by the Assuming Institution to the Receiver pursuant to Section 3.6, the Assuming Institution will deliver to the Receiver those documents with respect to that Loan as the Receiver may request, including the following: (i) all related Credit Documents (other than certificates, notices and other ancillary documents), (ii) a certificate setting forth the principal amount on the date of the transfer and the amount of interest, fees and other charges then accrued and unpaid thereon, and any restrictions on transfer to which that Loan is subject, and (iii) all Credit Files, and all documents, microfiche, microfilm and computer records (including magnetic tape, disc storage, card forms and printed copy) maintained by, owned by, or in the possession of the Assuming Institution or any Affiliate of the Assuming Institution relating to the transferred Loan.

9.7. Information. The Assuming Institution will promptly provide to the Corporation any other information, including financial statements and computations, relating to the performance of the provisions of this Agreement as the Corporation or the Receiver may request from time to time, and, at the request of the Receiver, make available employees of the Failed Bank employed or retained by the Assuming Institution to assist in preparation of the Pro Forma Statement pursuant to Section 8.1.

9.8. Tax Ruling. The Assuming Institution will not at any time, without the Corporation’s prior consent, seek a private letter ruling or other determination from the Internal Revenue Service or otherwise seek to qualify for any special tax treatment or benefits associated with any payments made by the Receiver or Corporation pursuant to this Agreement.

9.9. Limited Power of Attorney. The Receiver may, in its sole discretion, provide the Assuming Institution with a limited power of attorney designating certain employees of the Assuming Institution as the Receiver’s attorneys-in-fact for the purposes of (i) executing, on behalf of the Receiver, lien releases required by Section 6.3, and (ii) taking certain actions, on behalf of the Receiver, to vest title to the Acquired Assets in the Assuming Institution as required by Section 9.2. The Assuming Institution will use its best efforts to complete all actions required to vest title to the Acquired Assets in the Assuming Institution as quickly as possible, but no later than the earlier of (a) the second anniversary of the Bank Closing Date or (b) the date the Receiver chooses, in its sole discretion, to terminate the receivership of the Failed Bank.

(b) provided that with respect to this Agreement, except for Section 12.1(a)(vii) and (viii), no indemnification will be provided under this Agreement for any:

(ix) claims that 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 that claim, unless those costs or expenses were incurred upon the written direction of the Receiver; provided that the Receiver is not required to reimburse the amount of those costs or expenses unless those costs or expenses were incurred upon the written direction of the Receiver;

12.4. Indemnification of Receiver and Corporation. From and after the Bank Closing Date, the Assuming Institution will 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 of this Agreement by the Assuming Institution or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Assuming Institution, whether or not those liabilities subsequently are sold 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 claims of any Person claiming any right or title by or through the Assuming Institution with respect to Acquired 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

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 Indemnitee indemnified under this Article XII. Consistent with that intent, the Receiver will only make payments pursuant to that 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 that item, the Indemnitee being indemnified will notify the Receiver thereof and, upon the request of the Receiver, will promptly reimburse the Receiver, or the Corporation as appropriate, the amount of the Receiver’s (or the Corporation’s) payments to the extent of that excess.

12.6. Criminal Claims. Notwithstanding any provision of this Article XII to the contrary, if any Indemnitee is or becomes involved in any criminal action, suit, or proceeding, whether judicial, administrative, or investigative, the Receiver is not required to indemnify that Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee is successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense against the action, suit, or proceeding, or (b) the action, suit, or proceeding is terminated without the imposition of liability on the Indemnitee.

12.7. Limited Guaranty of the Corporation. The Corporation guarantees performance of the Receiver’s obligation to indemnify any Indemnitee as set forth in this Article XII. It is a condition to the Corporation’s obligation under this Section 12.7 that each Indemnitee comply in all respects with the applicable provisions of this Article XII. The Corporation is liable under this Section 12.7 only for the amounts, if any, that the Receiver is required to pay under the terms of this Article XII but fails to pay. Except as otherwise provided above in this Section 12.7, nothing in this Article XII is intended or will 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 of its provisions. 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, will become subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee against any other Person to the extent of that payment.
