Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is hereby made to the Warrant issued by BU Financial Holdings LLC (BU LLC) to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the FDIC) on May 21, 2009 (the Warrant). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Warrant.
In October 2010, BU LLC agreed to provide the FDIC minimum value under the Warrant of $25,000,000 in consideration of the settlement of the pro forma process pursuant to Article VIII of the P&A Agreement.
On January 27, 2011, InterCo completed an initial public offering that did not constitute a Qualifying IPO. In connection with our discussions of October 2010, InterCo hereby agrees to pay to the FDIC, in full settlement of all obligations of BU LLC and its affiliates pursuant to the Warrant, an amount equal to $25,000,000. By your execution of this letter, the FDIC hereby acknowledges that upon the receipt of such funds, the Warrant shall expire and be of no further force and effect.
