ARTICLE IV

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 4.1 Transfers Intended as Sale; Security Interest .

(a) Each of the parties hereto expressly intends and agrees that the transfers contemplated and effected under this Agreement are complete and absolute sales and contributions rather than pledges or assignments of only a security interest and shall be given effect as such for all purposes. It is further the intention of the parties hereto that the Receivables and other Michigan Bank Sold Assets shall not be part of Michigan Bank’s estate in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of Michigan Bank. The sales and transfers by Michigan Bank of the Receivables and related Michigan Bank Sold Assets hereunder are and shall be without recourse to, or representation or warranty (express or implied) by, Michigan Bank, except as otherwise specifically provided herein. The limited rights of recourse specified herein against Michigan Bank are intended to provide a remedy for breach of representations and warranties relating to the condition of the property sold, rather than to the collectibility of the Receivables.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Receivables and other Michigan Bank Sold Assets are held to be property of Michigan Bank, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create indebtedness or a security interest in the Receivables and other Michigan Bank Sold Assets, then it is intended that:

(i) This Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the New York UCC and the UCC of any other applicable jurisdiction;

(ii) The conveyance provided for in Section 2.1 shall
