COMMERCIAL SHARED-LOSS AGREEMENT

This Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement, including the Exhibits attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (collectively, this “Agreement”), is made pursuant to and as of the date of that certain Purchase and Assumption Agreement (the “Purchase and Assumption Agreement”) between the FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION, RECEIVER OF SILICON VALLY BRIDGE BANK, SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA (the “Receiver”), FIRST-CITIZENS BANK & TRUST COMPANY, organized under the laws of the State of North Carolina, and having its principal place of business in RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA (the “Assuming Institution”). Each of the Receiver and the Assuming Institution sometimes is referred to in this Agreement as a “Party.”

This Agreement shall be valid and effective only if the Assuming Institution has purchased Shared-Loss Assets pursuant to the Purchase and Assumption Agreement.

In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

ARTICLE 1. GENERAL.

1.1. Purpose. The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth, among other things, requirements regarding management, administration and collection of Shared-Loss Assets by the Assuming Institution and procedures for notices, consents, reporting and payments.

1.2. Relationship with Purchase and Assumption Agreement. To the extent that any inconsistencies may arise between the terms of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement and this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

1.3. Defined Terms. The capitalized terms used in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in Article 8.

ARTICLE 2. SHARED-LOSS ARRANGEMENT.

2.1. Accounting for and Management of Shared-Loss Assets.

(a) Initial Values. The Assuming Institution shall record each Shared-Loss Asset on the AI Accounting Records at its respective Book Value as of the Commencement Date.

(b) Adjustments. After the Commencement Date, the Assuming Institution shall adjust the Book Value of each Shared-Loss Asset in accordance with this Agreement and Article VIII of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement.

(c) Management. At all times the Assuming Institution shall manage and account for the Shared-Loss Assets in accordance with this Agreement (including the Management Standards).

(d) Receiver Approval. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary or the Assuming Institution’s compliance with GAAP, after the Commencement Date the Assuming Institution’s representation of any value or calculation with respect to the Shared-Loss Assets is subject to the Receiver’s acceptance and approval.

2.2. Payments with Respect to Shared-Loss Assets.

(a) Calculation and Method of Payments. Subject to all provisions of this Agreement, the Parties shall make the payments set forth in this Article 2. All payments made by a Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in the lawful currency of the United States by electronic funds transfer of immediately available funds from the payor to the payee in accordance with instructions specified by the payee from time to time pursuant to written notice delivered in accordance with Section 6.11.

(b) Timing of Payments.

(i) Payments by the Receiver pursuant to this Article 2 shall be made within sixty (60) days following the Receiver’s determination that (A) the Quarterly Certificate with respect to the applicable Shared-Loss Quarter or Recovery Quarter, as applicable, is true, complete, correct, timely and in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement and (B) the Assuming Institution has provided to the Receiver in a timely manner all requested supporting or explanatory material and information concerning such Quarterly Certificate.

(ii) Payments by the Assuming Institution pursuant to this Article 2 shall be made on or before the due date for the Quarterly Certificate for the applicable Shared-Loss Quarter or Recovery Quarter, as applicable.

(c) Source of Receiver’s Funds. Payment obligations of the Receiver with respect to this Agreement shall be treated as administrative expenses of the Receiver pursuant to 12 U.S.C. Section 1821(d)(11). To the extent that the Receiver requires funds to make payments relating to Shared-Loss Assets pursuant to this Agreement, the Receiver shall request funds pursuant to the Individual Loan and Security Agreement (“ILSA”) between the FDIC in its corporate capacity (“Corporation”) and the Receiver, with respect to the receivership. Notwithstanding any provision of the foregoing to the contrary, however, nothing set forth in this Section 2.2(c) (A) shall make the Assuming Institution a third-party beneficiary with respect to the ILSA or (B) shall grant or transfer to the Assuming Institution any rights or privileges whatsoever with respect to the ILSA.

(d) Shared-Loss Subsidiaries. The total payment obligation of the Receiver to the Assuming Institution for Covered Loss with respect to any Subsidiary Shared-Loss Loan and Subsidiary ORE shall not exceed the Applicable Percentage of the Investment in Subsidiary of each Shared-Loss Subsidiary, if any, identified on Schedule 4.15D as the owner of each such Subsidiary Shared-Loss Loan or Subsidiary ORE.

(e) Shared-Loss Assets. The total payment obligation of the Receiver to the Assuming Institution for Covered Loss with respect to any Shared-Loss Loan (other than any Subsidiary Shared-Loss Loan) shall not exceed the Applicable Percentage of the amount equal to the sum of (i) the initial Book Value of such Shared-Loss Loan set forth on Schedule 4.15B plus (ii) any unfunded Commitment with respect to such Shared-Loss Loan, as set forth on Schedule 4.15B. The total payment obligation of the Receiver to the Assuming Institution for Covered Loss with respect to any Acquired ORE (other than any Subsidiary ORE) shall not exceed the Applicable Percentage of the initial Book Value of such Acquired ORE set forth on Schedule 4.15B.

2.3. Payments Applicable to Shared-Loss Quarters. For each Shared-Loss Quarter, pursuant to the applicable Quarterly Certificate, one of the payments described in Section 2.3(a) or 2.3(b) below shall be made, as appropriate, with respect to the Shared-Loss Assets:

(a) Covered Loss Payments by the Receiver. The Receiver shall pay to the Assuming Institution the Applicable Percentage of the “Covered Loss,” which is an amount equal to the sum of:

(i) Charge-Offs; minus

(ii) Recoveries; minus

(iii) Collections on Fully Charged-Off Assets.

(b) Covered Gain Payments by the Assuming Institution. If the result of the calculation described in Section 2.3(a) is a negative amount (the “Covered Gain”), the Assuming Institution shall pay an amount equal to the Applicable Percentage of such Covered Gain to the Receiver.

2.4. Payments Applicable to Recovery Quarters. For each Recovery Quarter, pursuant to the applicable Quarterly Certificate, the Assuming Institution shall pay to the Receiver an amount equal to:

(a) the Applicable Percentage of Recoveries with respect to Shared-Loss Assets; plus

(b) Collections on Fully Charged-Off Assets.

2.5. True-Up Payment and Calculation.

(a) Payment Obligation of the Assuming Institution. If the Assuming Institution’s Bid Amount, as set forth in Article VII of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, includes an “Acquired Asset discount bid” (as such term is used in the Purchase and Assumption Agreement) which represents five percent (5%) or more of the purchase price of the Acquired Assets determined in accordance with Article III of the Purchase and Assumption Agreement, the Assuming Institution shall pay to the Receiver on the True-Up Date any positive amount resulting from the calculation set forth in Exhibit 2.5 which will be capped at the amount of one billion, five hundred million dollars ($1,500,000,000).

(b) Reporting of Calculation. On or before the True-Up Date the Assuming Institution shall deliver to the Receiver a schedule, certified as true, complete and correct by the chief executive officer or the chief financial officer of the Assuming Institution, setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation described in Exhibit 2.5, including the calculation of the Net Loss Amount (if any).

2.6. Limitation on Payments.

(a) Receiver’s Right to Withhold Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 2 to the contrary, the Receiver may elect to withhold any amount requested in a Quarterly Certificate (a “Withheld Amount”) if the Receiver determines that:

(i) with respect to a particular Shared-Loss Asset, the Assuming Institution has not complied, or is not complying, with the Management Standards or any other requirement or obligation set forth in this Agreement applicable with respect to such Shared-Loss Asset;

(ii) the Assuming Institution has failed to comply with the requirements set forth in Section 5.5, including permitting the Receiver, its agents, contractors and/or employees to perform the operational and compliance audit, and to make the assessment, described in Section 5.5(c);

(iii) a retroactive accounting adjustment is required pursuant to Section 5.5(c) and such adjustment results in a payment being due to the Receiver;

(iv) a Quarterly Certificate is untrue, incomplete, incorrect or untimely or otherwise is not in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement;

(v) a Charge-Off of a Shared-Loss Asset should not have been effected by the Assuming Institution;

(vi) there is a reasonable basis pursuant to the terms of this Agreement for denying the eligibility of amounts included in a Quarterly Certificate for which reimbursement or payment is sought; or

(vii) the Receiver is entitled to a payment from the Assuming Institution pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, whether or not reported on any Quarterly Certificate, that has not been made when and as due.

(b) Opportunity to Cure; Payment.

(i) In the event that the Receiver elects to withhold a Withheld Amount pursuant to Section 2.6(a), the Receiver shall provide the Assuming Institution with notice (a “Withholding Notice”) detailing the grounds for withholding such Withheld Amount and requiring the Assuming Institution to deliver to the Receiver a revised Quarterly Certificate for the relevant Shared-Loss Quarter or Recovery Quarter (a “Revised Quarterly Certificate”) that sets forth only those amounts included on the original Quarterly Certificate that are not Withheld Amounts (“Disbursement Amounts”).

(ii) The Receiver shall pay to the Assuming Institution the Disbursement Amounts included on a Revised Quarterly Certificate within thirty (30) days following the Receiver’s receipt of the Revised Quarterly Certificate or, if later, on or before the date that the Receiver otherwise would be required to make such payment (absent any withholding) pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i).

(iii) Upon receipt of a Withholding Notice, the Assuming Institution shall cure any deficiency set forth in such Withholding Notice within thirty (30) days of receipt of such Withholding Notice. If the Assuming Institution demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Receiver that the grounds for withholding a Withheld Amount were incorrect initially, no longer exist or have been cured, the Assuming Institution shall include the amount that the Receiver determines is eligible for payment on the Quarterly Certificate that the Assuming Institution next delivers to the Receiver in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement (a “Subsequent Quarterly Certificate”), in which event the Receiver shall pay such amount when and as the Receiver pays any Disbursement Amounts set forth on such Subsequent Quarterly Certificate in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that there may be no Subsequent Quarterly Certificate following the Final Quarterly Certificate.

(iv) If the Assuming Institution does not cure any such deficiency within the required period of time, the Receiver may continue to withhold a Withheld Amount as described in Section 2.6(a), but such withholding will not affect the Receiver’s obligation to make any other payment properly due pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing set forth in this Section 2.6(b)(iv) is intended to limit the Receiver’s rights set forth in the other provisions of this Section 2.6, or any other right of the Receiver pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, to withhold payments that the Assuming Institution has requested in a Quarterly Certificate.

(c) Adjustments. In the event that the Receiver withholds payment (or any part thereof) with respect to a Charge-Off of a Shared-Loss Asset or determines pursuant to Section 2.6(a) that any payment was improperly made, the Assuming Institution and the Receiver shall make, upon final resolution of such issue, such accounting adjustments and payments as might be necessary to give retroactive effect to such actions, including making the necessary adjustments to the Covered Loss or Covered Gain for the affected Quarterly Certificates.

(d) Interest on Payments. Any payment of a Withheld Amount by the Receiver pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(iii) shall be made together with interest on such Withheld Amount that accrues commencing on the date that is fifteen (15) days after the date on which payment was agreed or determined to be due through, but excluding, the date on which such amount is actually paid; provided, however, that no such interest shall be due or owing if such payment by the Receiver pursuant to Section 2.6(b)(iii) is made on or before the date on which the Receiver otherwise would be required to make such payment (absent any permitted withholding) pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i). The annual interest rate shall be determined by the Receiver based on the coupon equivalent of the three (3)-month U.S. Treasury Bill Rate in effect as of the first Business Day of each Calendar Quarter during which such interest accrues, as reported in the Federal Reserve Board Statistical Release for Selected Interest Rates H.15 opposite the caption “Treasury bills (secondary market), 3-Month” or, if not so reported for such day, for the next preceding Business Day for which such rate was so reported.

2.7. Permitted Advances and Amendments. Pursuant to this Agreement, certain advances with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan and certain amendments with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan or a Shared-Loss Loan Commitment made by the Assuming Institution may be permissible additions to the Book Value of the respective Shared-Loss Asset and may entitle such Shared-Loss Asset to retain its status as such, if certain criteria, as set forth below, are satisfied:

 

Version 13.2 – Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement – with 8 year term   

Silicon Valley Bridge Bank

C-5


(a) Permitted Advance. A “Permitted Advance” is an advance on a Shared-Loss Loan that is made by the Assuming Institution in good faith, justified by contemporaneous supporting documentation in the Credit File, in accordance with the applicable requirements set forth in Article 3 and the then-effective written internal credit policy guidelines of the Assuming Institution and in accordance with the following criteria:

(i) it is an advance made by the Assuming Institution or a legally binding obligation by the Assuming Institution to advance funds and, in either case, funds are advanced fully within one (1) year from the Commencement Date; and

(A) the sum of the following is less than 110% of the Book Value of such Shared-Loss Loan after such advance has been made:

(1) the Book Value of such Shared-Loss Loan; plus

(2) the unfunded amount of the legally binding commitment referred to in Section 2.7(a)(i) with respect to that Shared-Loss Loan;

(B) the Assuming Institution has not effected a Charge-Off with respect to that Shared-Loss Loan; and

(C) no Shared-Loss Loan Commitment exists for such Shared-Loss Loan; or

(ii) it is an advance made by the Assuming Institution that the Assuming Institution determines is necessary to preserve or secure the value of the collateral for a Shared-Loss Loan. In making such determination, the Assuming Institution shall apply in an impartial manner the same criteria as it would if the Shared-Loss Loan were owned by the Assuming Institution or any of its Affiliates and were not a Shared-Loss Asset.

(b) Permitted Amendment. A “Permitted Amendment” is, with respect to any Shared-Loss Loan Commitment or Shared-Loss Loan, any amendment, modification, renewal or extension thereof, or any waiver of any term, right or remedy thereunder, that is made by the Assuming Institution in good faith, justified by contemporaneous supporting documentation in the Credit File, in accordance with the applicable requirements set forth in Article 3 and the then-effective written internal credit policy guidelines of the Assuming Institution. A Permitted Amendment also must satisfy the following criteria:

(i) the sum of the following is less than 110% of the Book Value of such Shared-Loss Loan after such amendment or modification has been made:

(A) the Book Value of such Shared-Loss Loan; plus

(B) the unfunded amount of any applicable Shared-Loss Loan Commitment, inclusive of amounts advanced pursuant to such amendment, modification, renewal or extension; and

(ii) with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan Commitment or Shared-Loss Loan that is not a revolving line of credit, it does not increase the amount of principal (A) then remaining available to be advanced by the Assuming Institution pursuant to the Shared-Loss Loan Commitment or (B) then outstanding under the Shared-Loss Loan beyond the limit provided in Section 2.7(b)(i); or

 

Version 13.2 – Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement – with 8 year term   

Silicon Valley Bridge Bank

Santa Clara, California

C-6


(iii) with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan Commitment or Shared-Loss Loan that is a revolving line of credit, it does not increase the maximum amount of principal authorized as of the Bank Closing Date to be outstanding at any one time pursuant to the underlying revolving line of credit relationship with the debtor beyond the limit provided in Section 2.7(b)(i) (regardless of the extent to which such revolving line of credit may have been funded as of the Bank Closing Date or subsequently may have been funded and/or repaid).

The Assuming Institution acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.7 to the contrary, if a Permitted Amendment extends the term of a Shared-Loss Loan Commitment or Shared-Loss Loan beyond the later to occur of (I) the end of the final Shared-Loss Quarter or (II) the term that existed as of the Bank Closing Date, such Permitted Amendment does not extend shared-loss coverage beyond the final Shared-Loss Quarter (which cannot be (and is not) extended by a Permitted Amendment).

2.8. Recovery.

(a) Calculation of a Recovery. A “Recovery” is the sum of the following amounts (without duplication) for any Shared-Loss Quarter or Recovery Quarter, as the case might be, subject to the limitations and exceptions set forth in Section 2.8(b):

(i) collections by or on behalf of the Assuming Institution on Charge-Offs of a Shared-Loss Asset effected by the Assuming Institution prior to the end of the final Shared-Loss Quarter;

(ii) collections by or on behalf of the Assuming Institution on Failed Bank Charge-Offs;

(iii) collections by or on behalf of the Assuming Institution on any Acquired Asset on which a Failed Bank Charge-Off has been effected, to the extent that such collections exceed the Book Value of such Acquired Asset;

(iv) Collections on Fully Charged-Off Assets;

(v) ORE Income;

(vi) the amount of any fee or other consideration received by or on behalf of the Assuming Institution for any amendment, modification, renewal, extension, refinance, restructure, commitment, sale or other similar action with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan as to which there exists a Failed Bank Charge-Off or as to which a Charge-Off has been effected by the Assuming Institution during or prior to such period, not to exceed the total of any related Failed Bank Charge-Offs and Charge-Offs made or incurred with respect to the particular Shared-Loss Loan; and

(vii) interest income, if any.

(b) Limitations and Exceptions. In calculating a Recovery, the following shall not be included:

(i) amounts paid by the Receiver to the Assuming Institution pursuant to Article 2;

(ii) amounts received by or on behalf of the Assuming Institution with respect to Charge-Offs effected by the Assuming Institution after the final Shared-Loss Quarter; and

(iii) the amount of any gain with respect to Shared-Loss Loans and ORE (including Subsidiary ORE) included in a Recovery that exceeds the total amount of any Failed Bank Charge-Offs and Charge-Offs with respect to the particular Shared-Loss Asset.

(c) Order of Application. For the purpose of calculating Recoveries, the Assuming Institution shall apply any collections received on an Acquired Asset not otherwise applied to reduce the Book Value of such Acquired Asset, if applicable, in the following order:

(i) to Charge-Offs, Failed Bank Charge-Offs and Fully Charged-Off Assets; and

(ii) to interest income.

(d) Interest Income as a Recovery. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any interest income that the Assuming Institution receives with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan, whether or not there exists a Failed Bank Charge-Off and whether or not a Charge-Off has been effected by the Assuming Institution, is to be treated as a Recovery (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.8(e)).

(e) Maximum Amount of Interest Income. The amount of any interest income included as a Recovery with respect to a Shared-Loss Loan subject to Section 2.8(d) shall not exceed the total of the following with respect to such Shared-Loss Loan:

(i) Failed Bank Charge-Offs; and

(ii) Charge-Offs effected by the Assuming Institution during or prior to the period in which the amount of a Recovery is being determined.

(f) Application of Collections. Any collections on a Shared-Loss Loan that are not applied to reduce Book Value of principal or recognized as interest income shall be applied pursuant to Section 2.8(c).

2.9. Treatment as a Shared-Loss Asset.

(a) Loss of Right to Receive Shared-Loss Asset Payments. The Assuming Institution shall not be entitled to payments pursuant to this Agreement with respect to a Shared-Loss Asset if the Receiver determines that the Assuming Institution or any Affiliate of the Assuming Institution:

(i) has sold or otherwise transferred such Shared-Loss Asset or any interest therein (whether with or without recourse) to any Person, other than in compliance with this Agreement;

 

Version 13.2 – Commercial Shared-Loss Agreement – with 8 year term   

Silicon Valley Bridge Bank

Santa Clara, California

C-8


(ii) has made any additional advance, commitment or increase in the amount of a Commitment with respect to such Shared-Loss Asset that does not constitute a Permitted Advance or a Shared-Loss Loan Commitment Advance, in which case the entire Shared-Loss Asset shall not be entitled to such payments;

(iii) if such Shared-Loss Asset is a Shared-Loss Loan, has made any amendment, modification, renewal or extension of such Shared-Loss Loan, or any waiver of any term, right or remedy thereunder, that does not constitute a Permitted Amendment;

(iv) has managed, administered or collected any Related Loan in a manner which would increase the amount of any collections with respect to that Related Loan to the detriment of the Shared-Loss Asset to which such loan is related; or

(v) has failed to manage, administer or collect such Shared-Loss Asset in accordance with all provisions of this Agreement, including consistently failing (A) to adhere to and act in accordance with the Management Standards or (B) to provide true, complete, correct timely certificates and reports as required pursuant to Article 5.

Upon determination by the Receiver that any of the foregoing circumstances exists with respect to an asset and that the Assuming Institution shall not be entitled to payments pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such asset, as evidenced by written notice from the Receiver to the Assuming Institution, such asset shall not be treated as a Shared-Loss Asset pursuant to this Agreement.

(b) Effective Date of Loss of Shared-Loss Asset Treatment. If any of the actions described in Section 2.9(a) occur with respect to a Shared-Loss Asset, the Receiver shall not be obligated to make any payments to the Assuming Institution with respect to such Shared-Loss Asset after the date of occurrence of such action and the Receiver may require reimbursement of all prior payments made by the Receiver with regard to such Shared-Loss Asset. In the event that the Receiver withholds payment or requires repayment pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, the Assuming Institution and the Receiver shall make such accounting adjustments and payments as may be necessary to give retroactive effect to such actions, including making the necessary adjustments to Covered Loss or Covered Gain on the affected Quarterly Certificates.

(c) Treatment of Recoveries. Notwithstanding Sections 2.9(a) and 2.9(b), a Shared-Loss Loan that has been the subject of any Charge-Offs prior to the occurrence of any action described in Section 2.9(a) shall be treated as a Shared-Loss Asset for the purpose of calculating Recoveries on such Charge-Offs, provided that the amount of Recoveries shall be limited to the amount of such Charge-Offs that do not constitute Withheld Amounts or for which the Receiver has not required repayment.

2.10. Receiver’s Option to Purchase.

(a) Exercise of Option to Purchase. At any time on or prior to the Coverage Termination Date, the Receiver shall have the option, exercisable by notice to the Assuming Institution, to purchase an Acquired Asset on which a Failed Bank Charge-Off has been effected or a Shared-Loss Asset on which a Failed Bank Charge-Off has been effected that meets any one (1) of the following criteria:

(i) the Shared-Loss Asset has been partially charged-off and the Receiver determines that the Assuming Institution is not diligently pursuing collection efforts with respect to such Shared-Loss Asset;

(ii) the Shared-Loss Asset has been fully charged-off; or

(iii) the Shared-Loss Asset is a Related Loan required to be included in a schedule pursuant to Section 5.4.

(b) Transfer by the Assuming Institution. Within ten (10) Business Days following the date upon which the Assuming Institution receives notice pursuant to Section 2.10(a), the Assuming Institution shall transfer to the Receiver such Shared-Loss Asset or Acquired Asset and all Credit Files and Accounting Records relating thereto and shall take all such other actions as may be necessary and appropriate to assign, transfer and convey such Shared-Loss Asset or Acquired Asset to the Receiver. All costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such transfer of a Shared-Loss Asset or Acquired Asset shall be borne by the Assuming Institution.

(c) Payment by the Receiver. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date upon which the Assuming Institution transfers the Shared-Loss Asset or Acquired Asset pursuant to Section 2.10(b), the Receiver shall pay to the Assuming Institution a purchase price equal to:

(i) (A) in the case of a Shared-Loss Loan, the principal amount of such Shared-Loss Loan and any fees or penalties due from an Obligor (subject to the limitations set forth at Section 2.10(d)), as stated on the AI Accounting Records on the date as of which such purchase price is determined (regardless of the Legal Balance thereof); or

    (B) in the case of an Acquired Asset or a Shared-Loss Asset other than a Shared-Loss Loan, the Book Value of such Acquired Asset or Shared-Loss Asset, as stated on the AI Accounting Records, on the date as of which such purchase price is determined;

During the term of this Agreement the Assuming Institution shall manage, administer and collect all Shared-Loss Assets while owned by it or any of its Affiliates (including any sales of Shared-Loss Assets pursuant to Article 4) in accordance with the requirements and obligations regarding management, administration and collection of Shared-Loss Assets set forth in this Agreement, including this Article 3 (the “Management Standards”). Failure of the Assuming Institution, any of its Affiliates or any Third Party Servicer to comply with the Management Standards with respect to any Shared-Loss Asset shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. If the Receiver determines that the Assuming Institution is not in compliance with the Management Standards with respect to any Shared-Loss Asset, it shall notify the Assuming Institution of the breach and, after providing such notification, may exercise any or all remedies available to it pursuant to this Agreement or applicable Laws.

3.2. Assuming Institutions Obligations. In the discharge of its obligations (including its obligations with respect to any sales of Shared-Loss Assets pursuant to Article 4, and including such obligations as are performed by the Assuming Institution, an Affiliate of the Assuming Institution or a Third Party Servicer), the Assuming Institution at all times shall act in accordance with usual and prudent business and banking practices and its best business judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Assuming Institution shall observe and adhere to the specific obligations set forth in this Section 3.2.

(a) Charge-Offs and Recoveries. The Assuming Institution shall effect Charge-Offs and collect Recoveries with respect to each Shared-Loss Asset in a manner consistent with the Assuming Institution’s (or, if applicable, a Third Party Servicer’s) practices and procedures, including applicable Laws, and the written internal credit policy guidelines of the Assuming Institution (or, if applicable, of a Third Party Servicer) in effect from time to time, with respect to the effectuation of charge-offs and the collection of recoveries with respect to loans, real estate and repossessed collateral that do not constitute Shared-Loss Assets.

(b) Losses and Collections. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3.2 to the contrary, at all times the Assuming Institution shall (and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Third Party Servicers to) minimize losses and maximize collections with respect to, and manage and administer (including with respect to any sale of a Shared-Loss Asset), each Shared-Loss Asset without favored treatment for any assets owned by the Assuming Institution or any of its Affiliates that are not Shared-Loss Assets.

(c) Loss Mitigation Procedures. At the request of the FDIC, the Assuming Institution shall deliver its existing written internal credit policy statements/guidelines governing loan restructuring and modifications (“Loss Mitigation Policies”) which should include, among other things, the Assuming Institution’s policies governing A/B note restructures, balloon loans approaching maturity, interest only loans, short sales, deeds in lieu of foreclosure, foreclosure sales, charge-offs, appraisal policies and recoveries of deficiencies. The Assuming Institution shall adopt loss mitigation procedures for the Shared-Loss Loans which are consistent with its Assuming Institution’s Loss Mitigation Policies.

(d) Loss Mitigation Plans. The Assuming Institution shall implement appropriate loss mitigation plans with respect to Shared-Loss Loans in default or for which a default is reasonably foreseeable for the minimization of losses:

(i) the loss mitigation plans shall require the Assuming Institution to evaluate the feasibility of prudent loan restructurings, loan workout and any other appropriate methods of loss mitigation prior to taking any foreclosure or other legal actions.

(ii) the Assuming Institution’s documentation of its evaluations and cost analysis of the loss mitigation strategy used to maximize collections on Shared-Loss Loans will be utilized for purposes of evaluating loss claims and also the Assuming Institution’s compliance with the Management Standards of this Agreement.

(iii) the Assuming Institution shall conduct an evaluation of the governing provisions of all agreements and related loan documents regarding Shared-Loss Loans that are not wholly owned by the Assuming Institution such as syndicated loans, shared national credits and loan participations (“Participated Loan Agreements”) to determine if any of the Assuming Institution’s rights and obligations under such agreements are inconsistent with the Management Standards of this Agreement. Each such evaluation shall be documented and retained by the Assuming Institution. Loan modification and management strategies for Shared-Loss Loans subject to the Participated Loan Agreements that are in conflict or inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to the provisions of Section 2.8 governing Permitted Amendments and Permitted Advances, should be evaluated by the Assuming Institution and presented to the FDIC for a case specific approval, if the Assuming Institution’s analysis indicates that the particular strategy will minimize the loss on the Shared-Loss Loan(s) subject to the terms of such Participated Loan Agreement. The Assuming Institution’s credit analysis for Shared-Loss Loans subject to the Participated Loan Agreements must be consistent with the Assuming Institution’s current underwriting practices for non-participated Shared-Loss Loans.

(iv) the Assuming Institution may transfer its interest in or otherwise contribute Shared-Loss Loan collateral of nominal value (after consideration of foreclosure, holding and marketing costs) which may have potential use by local governmental entities, public agencies, or non-profit agencies for community development, provided that the Assuming Institution can clearly and unequivocally demonstrate that the collateral is conveyed pursuant to a least loss disposition strategy. In such cases, the Assuming Institution shall document the lien release for the transferred collateral prior to submitting a final loss claim.

(e) Certificates, Notifications and Reports. The Assuming Institution shall provide to the Receiver in a timely manner such certificates, notifications and reports either the Assuming Institution is required to provide pursuant to this Agreement or that the Receiver reasonably requests, including the certificates, notifications and reports required by Article 5.

(h) Sufficient Staff. At all times the Assuming Institution shall retain sufficient staff to discharge its obligations pursuant to this Agreement.

(i) No Preference to Related Loans. At no time shall the Assuming Institution manage, administer or collect a Related Loan in a manner that would increase the amount of any collections with respect to the Related Loan to the detriment of the Shared-Loss Asset to which such Related Loan is related.

(j) Adherence to Management Standards. The Assuming Institution shall cause each of its Affiliates to which it transfers any Shared-Loss Asset and each Third Party Servicer to act in accordance with the Management Standards.

3.3. Third Party Servicers and Affiliates.

(a) Appointment of Third Party Servicers.

(i) With the prior consent of the Receiver, the Assuming Institution may perform any of its obligations and/or exercise any of its rights pursuant to this Agreement through one or more Third Party Servicers.

In the case of a Third Party Servicer that is an Affiliate of the Assuming Institution, the notice shall include an express statement that the Third Party Servicer is an Affiliate. The Receiver may object to the proposed appointment of a Third Party Servicer by giving the Assuming Institution notice that it so objects within thirty (30) days following the Receiver’s receipt of the notice of the proposed appointment. The appointment of a Third Party Servicer by the Assuming Institution or any of its Affiliates shall not release the Assuming Institution from any obligation or liability pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise with respect to a Shared-Loss Asset, and the Assuming Institution shall be responsible to the Receiver for any and all acts or omissions of any Third Party Servicer.

(ii) The Assuming Institution must provide to the Receiver written notification immediately following the execution of any contract pursuant to which a Third Party Servicer or any third party (other than an Affiliate of the Assuming Institution) will manage, administer or collect any of the Shared-Loss Assets.

Such notice must include information regarding the Shared-Loss Asset Affiliate’s relevant experience, qualifications and financial strength and information regarding contact persons and contact information for the Shared-Loss Asset Affiliate.

(a) Sales of Shared-Loss Loans Generally. The Assuming Institution is not required to obtain the prior approval of the Receiver for the sale of any Shared-Loss Loans, however, the Assuming Institution must obtain the prior approval of the Receiver for the sale of any Shared-Loss Loans to an affiliate. Any Loan sold by the Assuming Institution is no longer a Shared-Loss Loan covered by the terms of this Agreement.

4.2 Receivers Rights to Cause Sales of Shared-Loss Assets. During the thirty-six (36) month period immediately prior to the Coverage Termination Date, or any time after the remaining portfolio unpaid principal balance falls below ten percent (10%) of the original portfolio unpaid principal balance, the Receiver may elect to require the Assuming Institution to liquidate for cash consideration, in one or more transactions, some or all of the Shared-Loss Assets then held by the Assuming Institution. If the Receiver exercises such right to cause the sale of Shared-Loss Assets identified by the Receiver, it shall give notice to the Assuming Institution setting forth the sale methodology and the time period within which the Assuming Institution must offer to sell the Shared-Loss Assets. The Assuming Institution shall make a good faith effort to sell the Shared-Loss Assets in a manner that maximizes the gross sale price received and to otherwise comply with the provisions of the Receiver’s notice.

Section 363, the Assuming Institution shall submit to the Receiver corrected computations together with a report signed by the AI Accountants stating that, after giving effect to such corrected computations, nothing has come to the attention of the AI Accountants suggesting that any computations required to be made by the Assuming Institution during such year were not made by the Assuming Institution in accordance with this Agreement.

The scope and duration of any such operational and compliance audit shall be at the discretion of the Receiver. The Receiver shall bear the expense of any such operational and compliance audit unless such operational and compliance audit uncovers any material failure by the Assuming Institution, any Shared-Loss Subsidiary, any Third Party Servicer or any other contractor of the Assuming Institution to perform in accordance with all provisions of this Agreement and all applicable Laws in which event the Assuming Institution shall bear the expense of any such operational and compliance audit and of any remediation required as a result of such operational and compliance audit.

(c) Change in Accounting Policies. The Assuming Institution shall not make any change in its accounting policies that would adversely affect the value of the Shared-Loss Assets, unless it obtains the prior written approval of the Receiver or unless such change is required by a revision to GAAP.

ARTICLE 7. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

7.1. Methods of Resolution. Any dispute arising pursuant to this Agreement (a “Dispute Item”) shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of this Article 7. If either Party believes that a Dispute Item has arisen, it shall send a written notification of such Dispute Item (a “Notice of Preliminary Dispute”) to the other Party, which Notice of Preliminary Dispute is to contain a description of the Dispute Item, an estimate of the amount in issue and any other information required pursuant to this Agreement (including this Article 7), including information concerning the Dispute Item sufficient to enable the Parties to negotiate in good faith to resolve the Dispute Item.

7.2. Informal Resolution. The Receiver and the Assuming Institution shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any Dispute Item within thirty (30) Business Days following receipt of the Notice of Preliminary Dispute and the required supporting information (the “Informal Resolution Period”).

7.3. Resolution by Non-Binding Dispute Resolution Proceeding. If resolution of the Dispute Item pursuant to Section 7.2 is unsuccessful, either Party may submit to the other Party written notification of its determination that resolution of the Dispute Item pursuant to Section 7.2 has been unsuccessful (a “Notice of Dispute”); provided, however, that a Notice of Dispute may not be delivered with respect to a Dispute Item until the applicable Informal Resolution Period has expired. The Parties shall make good faith efforts to resolve the dispute by mutual agreement within forty-five (45) days following receipt of the Notice of Dispute (the “Negotiation Period”). In furtherance of these efforts, the Parties shall consider the use of dispute resolution techniques such as mediation, settlement conference, early neutral evaluation and any other dispute resolution proceedings (as defined in Section 571(6) of ADRA) other than formal dispute resolution pursuant to Section 7.6 or Section 7.7.

7.4. Confidentiality of Compromise Negotiations. All good faith attempts to resolve or compromise a Dispute Item pursuant to Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 will be confidential. All such compromise negotiations, including any statements made or documents prepared by any Party, attorney or other participant, are inadmissible as evidence in other proceedings and may not be construed for any purpose as admissions against interest.

7.5. Payment Resulting from Compromise Negotiations. If the Receiver and the Assuming Institution resolve a Dispute Item to their mutual satisfaction pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3, including any dispute arising pursuant to Section 2.6, then within thirty (30) days following such resolution, the appropriate Party shall make payment or take action as agreed by the Parties.

7.6. Resolution by AI Chartering Authority.

(a) Submission of Dispute. If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute Item pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3, and if the Dispute Item has an amount in issue of less than three million dollars ($3,000,000.00), then either (i) such Dispute Item (a “First-Tier Dispute Item”) shall be submitted for final resolution by the AI Chartering Authority with the mutual consent of the Parties or (ii) the Parties shall engage in mediation with respect to the First-Tier Dispute Item prior to the initiation of arbitration pursuant to Section 7.7.

(b) Joint Request to AI Chartering Authority. If the Parties mutually consent to resolution of a First-Tier Dispute Item by the AI Chartering Authority, then the Parties shall deliver to the AI Chartering Authority a joint submission from the Parties requesting that the AI Chartering Authority resolve the First-Tier Dispute Item (the “Joint Request”). The Parties shall include in the Joint Notice a description of the Dispute Item and an estimate of the amount in issue. If the AI Chartering Authority agrees to resolve the First-Tier Dispute Item, then the AI Chartering Authority must agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Article 7 and must provide to the Parties a written oath of impartiality (the “AI Chartering Authority’s Acceptance”).

(c) First Party’s Submission. Promptly after the Parties receive the AI Chartering Authority’s Acceptance, the Party that delivered the Notice of Preliminary Dispute (the “First Party”) shall submit to the AI Chartering Authority and the other Party (the “Second Party”) its written submission setting forth its position with respect to the First-Tier Dispute Item (the “First Party Submission”), which First Party Submission is to include the First Party’s identification of the provisions of this Agreement supporting its position, its analysis of applicable Laws supporting its position, a description of relevant facts supporting its position and its identification of the relief sought to resolve the First-Tier Dispute Item.

(d) Second Party’s Response. Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the First Party delivers the First Party Submission, the Second Party shall submit to the AI Chartering Authority and the First Party its response to the First Party Submission setting forth its position with respect to the First-Tier Dispute Item (the “Response”), which Response is to include the Second Party’s identification of the provisions of this Agreement supporting its position, its analysis of applicable Laws supporting its position, a description of relevant facts supporting its position and its identification of the relief sought to resolve the First-Tier Dispute Item.

(e) AI Chartering Authority’s Resolution of First-Tier Dispute Item. Unless the AI Chartering Authority requests any additional submissions of the Parties, no submissions other than the Joint Request, the First Party Submission and the Response shall be made to the AI Chartering Authority. The AI Chartering Authority shall be requested to resolve the First-Tier Dispute Item based upon its application of applicable Laws and its interpretation of this Agreement, the Joint Request, the First Party Submission and the Response.

(f) AI Chartering Authority’s Written Award. The AI Chartering Authority shall be requested to determine the prevailing Party and award the prevailing Party the award that the AI Chartering Authority deems appropriate, but in no event may the AI Chartering Authority’s award inclusive of all claims and counterclaims exceed the amount in issue set out in the Joint Request. The AI Chartering Authority shall be requested to present to the Parties a written award regarding the First-Tier Dispute Item. The written award should contain a brief, informal discussion of the factual and legal basis for the award, but formal findings of facts and law shall not be required.

(g) Failure of Resolution by AI Chartering Authority. If a First-Tier Dispute Item otherwise is not finally resolved by the AI Chartering Authority despite the Parties’ mutual consent to submit the First-Tier Dispute Item to the AI Chartering Authority for final resolution, then the First-Tier Dispute Item shall be resolved pursuant to this Article 7 as if the Parties had not submitted the First-Tier Dispute Item to the AI Chartering Authority for final resolution.

7.7. Formal Resolution.

(a) Arbitration. The Parties agree to submit any Dispute Item not resolved pursuant to Sections 7.1 through 7.6 to arbitration pursuant to the provisions of this Article 7, subject in all events to the provisions of ADRA. No more than three Dispute Items may be submitted for any single arbitration; provided, however, that, by mutual agreement, the Parties may agree to submit any number of Dispute Items to a single arbitration.

(b) Submission to Arbitration. If the Receiver and the Assuming Institution do not resolve a Dispute Item pursuant to Sections 7.1 through 7.6, then within one hundred eighty (180) days following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, the Party seeking relief (the “Claimant Party”) may submit a demand for arbitration with respect to the Dispute Item (a “Demand for Arbitration”) to the other Party (the “Respondent Party”) and the AAA in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules.

(c) Condition Precedent. A Claimant Party may not initiate formal dispute resolution proceedings pursuant to this Section 7.7 with respect to any Dispute Item unless both the Informal Resolution Period and the Negotiation Period have expired and the Parties have been unable to resolve the Dispute Item. With respect to a First-Tier Dispute Item, a Claimant Party may not initiate formal dispute resolution proceedings pursuant to this Section 7.7 with respect to such First-Tier Dispute Item unless (a) both the Informal Resolution Period and the Negotiation Period have expired and the Parties have been unable to resolve the First-Tier Dispute Item and (b) pursuant to Section 7.6, either (i) the Parties have been unable to resolve such First-Tier Dispute Item through mediation or (ii) such First-Tier Dispute Item is not finally resolved by the AI Chartering Authority despite the Parties’ mutual consent to submit the First-Tier Dispute Item to the AI Chartering Authority for final resolution.

(d) Waiver of Rights. If the Claimant Party does not initiate formal dispute resolution proceedings with respect to a Dispute Item within one hundred eighty (180) days following the expiration of the Negotiation Period, the Claimant Party shall be deemed to have waived all rights with respect to such Dispute Item, including the right to initiate arbitration or litigation with respect to such Dispute Item.

(e) Arbitration Administrator. The Receiver may elect to appoint an organization other than the AAA for administration of arbitration pursuant to this Section 7.7, in which case this Article 7 and the rules and procedures set forth in this Article 7, including the Commercial Arbitration Rules as referred to in Section 7.9, shall govern the arbitration. The AAA or such other organization appointed pursuant to this Section 7.7(e) shall be referred to in this Agreement as the “Arbitration Administrator.”

(f) Formal Resolution by Litigation. Any litigation permitted pursuant to this Agreement and arising with respect to this Agreement must be brought only in the United States District Court for the District of Columbia or the district or territorial court of the United States for the district in which the main office of the Failed Bank is located. A Claimant Party may not commence any litigation permitted pursuant to this Agreement with respect to a Dispute Item unless (i) both the Informal Resolution Period and the Negotiation Period have expired and the Parties have been unable to resolve the Dispute Item; (ii) the Parties are not required to resolve the Dispute Item through arbitration; and (iii) the Parties have engaged in mediation if required pursuant to Section 7.6.

7.8. Effectiveness of Agreement Pending Dispute. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that a Notice of Preliminary Dispute is provided to a Party pursuant to this Article 7 prior to the Coverage Termination Date, the terms of this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to the Dispute Items set forth in such Notice of Preliminary Dispute until the Dispute Items have been finally resolved.

7.9. Governing Rules for Arbitration. Any arbitration (other than an arbitration with respect to a First-Tier Dispute Item to be conducted by the AI Chartering Authority) shall be procedurally governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Commercial Arbitration Rules”) established by the AAA to the extent that such rules are not inconsistent with this Article 7, the Federal Arbitration Act or ADRA, as each may be in effect at the time that the arbitration is initiated, except that the Commercial Arbitration Rules’ Expedited Procedures shall not apply unless the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party otherwise agree in writing.

7.10. Review Board Proceedings. The arbitration of a Dispute Item (other than an arbitration with respect to a First-Tier Dispute Item to be conducted by the AI Chartering Authority) shall be conducted by a review board (a “Review Board”) which shall consist of three (3) members (each a “Member”) with such expertise as the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party agree is relevant.

(a) Selection of Members. The Claimant Party shall state the name and address of the first of three (3) Members in its Demand for Arbitration. By written notice to the Claimant Party delivered within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the Demand for Arbitration (the “Respondent Party Response”), the Respondent Party shall state the name and address of the second Member. Each such Member proposed by a Party shall be considered a “Party-Appointed

Arbitrator” (a “Party-Appointed Arbitrator”), consistent with Commercial Arbitration Rule R-13. Promptly after delivery of the Respondent Party Response (but in no event later than the date thirty (30) Business Days after receipt of the Respondent Party Response), the Party-Appointed Arbitrators shall select a neutral third Member (the “Neutral Member”) in accordance with Commercial Arbitration Rule R-14, provided that the Neutral Member need not be selected from the National Roster (as such term is defined in Commercial Arbitration Rule R-3), notwithstanding any provision of Commercial Arbitration Rule R-12 to the contrary.

(b) Removal of Members. A Party-Appointed Arbitrator may be removed at any time by the Party that appointed that Member upon written notice to the other Party of the selection of a replacement Member, who shall be considered a Party-Appointed Arbitrator. No such replacement Party-Appointed Arbitrator shall become a Member of a Review Board until he or she agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Article 7. The Neutral Member may be removed by unanimous action of the Party-Appointed Arbitrators after five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party or by the unanimous action of the Parties. In any such event, the Party-Appointed Arbitrators must notify the Arbitration Administrator in writing of the selection of a replacement Neutral Member. No such replacement Neutral Member shall become a Member of a Review Board until he or she agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Article 7 and provides to the Parties a written statement that he or she does not have any official, financial, or personal conflict of interest with respect to the Dispute Item or the Parties.

(c) Vacancies. Any vacancy on the Review Board shall be filled in accordance with the provisions and rules pursuant to which the Member to be replaced was selected. No such replacement Member shall become a Member of a Review Board until he or she agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Article 7 and, if such replacement Member is to be the Neutral Member, provides to the Parties a written a statement that he or she does not have any official, financial, or personal conflict of interest with respect to the Dispute Item or the Parties.

7.11. Impartiality; Communication with Members. Each Party-Appointed Arbitrator shall be considered non-neutral, need not be impartial or independent and shall not be subject to disqualification for partiality or lack of independence, as provided in Commercial Arbitration Rule R-18(b). Each Party may communicate ex parte concerning an arbitration with any Party-Appointed Arbitrator it has appointed at any time during the course of such arbitration, as provided in Commercial Arbitration Rule 19(b).

7.12. Review Board Requirements. No Dispute Item may be submitted to a Review Board until (a) each member of the Review Board agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Article 7 and (b) the Neutral Member provides to the Parties a written a statement that the Neutral Member does not have any official, financial, or personal conflict of interest with respect to the Dispute Item or the Parties. None of the Members may serve as counsel, advisor, witness or representative to any party to the arbitration.

7.13. Written Award. Within twenty (20) Business Days following closing of the arbitration hearing held pursuant to the Commercial Arbitration Rules, as determined by Commercial Arbitration Rule R-39, the Review Board shall adopt the position of one of the Parties, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.15 and 7.16. The determination of any two (2) Members shall constitute the Review Board’s determination. The Review Board shall present to the Claimant Party and the Respondent Party a written award regarding each Dispute Item. The written award with respect to each Dispute Item shall contain a brief, informal discussion of the factual and legal basis for the award, but formal findings of facts and law shall not be required.

7.14. Payments. All payments required to be made pursuant to this Article 7 shall be made by electronic funds transfer and within fifteen (15) Business Days following the date on which the award becomes final.

7.15. Limitations on Awards. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, neither the AI Chartering Authority nor a Review Board has any authority to award any punitive, consequential, special or exemplary damages, and neither the AI Chartering Authority nor a Review Board has any authority to issue an award in an amount exceeding the lesser of (a) the lesser of (i) the amount in issue set forth in the applicable Notice of Preliminary Dispute or (ii) the amount in issue set forth in the applicable Demand for Arbitration or (b) an amount equal to the product of (i) the Intrinsic Shared-Loss Estimate multiplied by (ii) the Applicable Percentage.

7.16. Fees, Costs and Expenses. Each Party shall bear the fees, costs and expenses that it incurs in connection with the resolution of a Dispute Item. Neither the AI Chartering Authority nor a Review Board shall have any authority to award attorneys’ fees or costs incurred by either Party. Each Party shall be responsible for the fees, costs, and expenses of the Party-Appointed Arbitrator that it selected. The Claimant Party and the Respondent Party shall share equally the fees and expenses of the Neutral Member and any administrative fees of the arbitration (which shall not include any filing fees); provided, however, that the First Party shall be responsible for any administrative fees that the AI Chartering Authority might charge to resolve a First-Tier Dispute Item. No fees, costs or expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Assuming Institution shall be subject to reimbursement by the Receiver pursuant to Article 2, this Article 7 or otherwise.

7.17. Binding and Conclusive Nature. Arbitration of a Dispute Item pursuant to this Article 7 shall be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and not subject to further dispute or review, and judgment upon the award made by the AI Chartering Authority or a Review Board may be entered in accordance with applicable Laws. The Parties agree to observe faithfully the provisions of this Article 7 and the Commercial Arbitration Rules (to the extent that the Commercial Arbitration Rules apply to an arbitration pursuant to this Article 7), and the Parties agree to abide by and perform any award rendered by the AI Chartering Authority or a Review Board.

7.18. No Precedent. No decision, interpretation, determination, analysis, statement, award or other pronouncement of the AI Chartering Authority or a Review Board shall constitute precedent in regard to any subsequent proceeding (whether or not such proceeding involves dispute resolution pursuant to this Agreement), nor shall the AI Chartering Authority or a Review Board be bound to follow any decision, interpretation, determination, analysis, statement, award or other pronouncement rendered by any other AI Chartering Authority or any previous Review Board or any other previous dispute resolution panel or authority that has convened in connection with a transaction involving other failed financial institutions or Federal assistance transactions.

7.19. Confidentiality; Proceedings, Information and Documents. No arbitration held pursuant to this Article 7 shall be public or accessible to any person other than the Parties and their representatives, the Review Board and witnesses participating in the arbitration (and then only to the extent of their participation). Each Party and each Member shall strictly maintain the confidentiality of all issues, disputes, arguments, positions and interpretations of any such proceeding, as well as all dispute resolution communications, testimony, pleadings, filings, discovery, information, attachments, enclosures, exhibits, summaries, compilations, studies, analyses, notes, documents, statements, schedules and other similar items associated therewith (“Confidential Information”), in accordance with the provisions of ADRA. In the event that disclosure of Confidential Information is required pursuant to applicable Laws or in the event that disclosure is required pursuant to statute or court determination as provided by ADRA, then to the extent reasonably practicable, the Party or the Member required to make the disclosure shall provide the other Party or the Parties (as the case might be) with written notice of such disclosure within one (1) Business Day following the request that it make such disclosure, and in any event prior to making such disclosure, so that the other Party or either Party (as the case might be) may seek a protective order. With respect to final resolution of a First-Tier Dispute Item by the AI Chartering Authority, the Parties shall require that the AI Chartering Authority, in agreeing to be bound by the provisions of this Article 7, agree to adhere to the provisions of this Section 7.19 as though it were a Member of a Review Board.

7.22. Privilege. Any and all legal privilege (including attorney-client privilege and attorney work product privilege) that would apply pursuant to applicable Laws were a Dispute Item to be litigated in a manner permitted by Section 7.7(f) shall apply to any arbitration conducted pursuant to Article 7. If for any reason the Parties, their respective counsel or their documents or other evidence are subject to different rules as to privilege, the rules that provide for the highest level of privilege and protection shall apply.
