4.6(a), the amount of any rent paid (and taxes paid to the Receiver
which have not been paid to the taxing authority and for which the
Assuming Bank assumes liability) by the Assuming Bank with respect

(or enters into a sublease or a new lease in lieu thereof) for
leased Bank Premises as provided in Section 4.6(a) or 4.6(b), or if

leases specified in clause (ii) or (iii).
(i) If the Assuming Bank elects not to purchase
any owned Bank Premises, the notice of such election in accordance
with Section 4.6(a) shall specify the date upon which the Assuming
Bank’s occupancy of such premises shall terminate, which date
shall not be later than ninety (90) days after the date of the
Assuming Bank’s notice not to exercise such option. The
Assuming Bank promptly shall relinquish and release to the Receiver
such premises and the Furniture and Equipment and Fixtures located
thereon in the same condition as at Bank Closing, normal wear and
tear excepted. By occupying any such premises after the expiration
of such ninety (90)-day period, the Assuming Bank shall, at the
Receiver’s option, (x) be deemed to have agreed to purchase
such Bank Premises, and to assume all leases, obligations and
liabilities with respect to leased Furniture and Equipment and
leased Fixtures located thereon and any ground lease with respect
to the land on which such premises are located, and (y) be required
to purchase all Furniture and Equipment and Fixtures owned by the
Failed Bank and located on such premises as of Bank
Closing.

an assignment of the lease or sublease any leased Bank Premises,

specify the date upon which the Assuming Bank’s occupancy of
such leased Bank Premises shall terminate, which date shall not be

Section 4.6(b), or by occupying such premises after the one hundred
eighty (180)-day period specified above in this paragraph (ii), the
Assuming Bank shall, at the Receiver’s option, (x) be deemed
to have assumed all leases, obligations and liabilities with
respect to such premises (including any ground lease with respect
to the land on which premises are located), and leased Furniture
and Equipment and leased Fixtures located thereon in accordance
with this Section 4.6 (unless the Receiver previously repudiated
any such lease), and (y) be required to purchase all Furniture and
Equipment and Fixtures owned by the Failed Bank at Fair Market
Value and located on such premises as of Bank Closing.

(including hardware and software) and check processing and similar
operating equipment owned by the Failed Bank at Fair Market Value
and located at any leased Bank Premises that the Assuming Bank
elects to vacate or which it could have, but did not occupy,
pursuant to this Section 4.6; provided, that, the

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

paid to the Assuming Bank, or the Assuming Bank agrees to pay to

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

the Receiver of any rights under this Section 9.3(a) shall not
release the Assuming Bank with respect to any of its obligations
under this Agreement.

shall be instituted by any Person against the Receiver and the

Bank retained or acquired pursuant to this Agreement by the

to join with the Corporation in a petition to remove the action to

Corporation as coplaintiff, any action with respect to any such

In the event any
depositor does not accept the obligation of the Assuming Bank to
pay any Deposit liability of the Failed Bank assumed by the
Assuming Bank pursuant to this Agreement and asserts a claim
against the Receiver for all or any portion of any such Deposit
liability, the Assuming Bank agrees on demand to provide to the
Receiver funds sufficient to pay such claim in an amount not in
excess of the Deposit liability reflected on the books of the
Assuming Bank at the time such claim is made. Upon payment by the
Assuming Bank to the Receiver of such amount, the Assuming Bank
shall be discharged from any further obligation under this
Agreement to pay to any such depositor the amount of such Deposit
liability paid to the Receiver.
9.5 Withheld Payments.
At any time, the Receiver or the
Corporation may, in its discretion, determine that all or any
portion of any deposit balance assumed by the Assuming Bank
pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute a
“Deposit” (or otherwise, in its discretion, determine
that it is the best interest of the Receiver or Corporation to
withhold all or any portion of any deposit), and may direct the
Assuming Bank to withhold payment of all or any portion of any such
deposit balance. Upon such direction, the Assuming Bank agrees to
hold such deposit and not to make any payment of such deposit
balance to or on behalf of the depositor, or to itself, whether by
way of transfer, set-off, or otherwise. The Assuming Bank agrees to
maintain the “withheld payment” status of any such
deposit balance until directed in writing by the Receiver or the
Corporation as to its disposition. At the direction of the Receiver
or the Corporation, the Assuming Bank shall return all or any
portion of such deposit balance to the Receiver or the Corporation,
as appropriate, and thereupon the Assuming Bank shall be discharged
from any further liability to such depositor with respect to such
returned deposit balance. If such deposit balance has been paid to
the depositor prior to a demand for return by the Corporation or
the Receiver, and payment of such deposit balance had not been
previously withheld pursuant to this Section, the Assuming Bank
shall not be obligated to return such deposit balance to the
Receiver or the Corporation. The Assuming Bank shall be obligated
to reimburse the Corporation or the Receiver, as the case may be,
for the amount of any deposit balance or portion thereof paid by
the Assuming Bank in contravention of any previous direction to
withhold payment of such deposit balance or return such deposit
balance the payment of which was withheld pursuant to this
Section.

by the Receiver.
