Exhibit 10.6

R&G FINANCIAL CORPORATION

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION

OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

OF R&G FINANCIAL CORPORATION

9.5% NONCUMULATIVE PERPETUAL PREFERRED STOCK, SERIES E

I, Enrique Umpierre-Suárez, the duly appointed Secretary of R&G Financial Corporation (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, hereby certify that the following resolutions were duly adopted by the Board of Directors of the Corporation pursuant to authority conferred by the Corporation’s Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the “Certificate of Incorporation”), at a meeting thereof duly held on March 27, 2006:

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the Board of Directors of the Corporation by Article IV of its Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors hereby authorizes the issuance of up to 4,800,000 shares of its preferred stock, par value $0.01, liquidation preference $25.00 per share, to be designated as R&G Financial Corporation 9.5% Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E.

The preferences, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption, of the shares of the R&G Financial Corporation 9.5% Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series E are as follows:

A. DESIGNATION AND AMOUNT

The distinctive designation of the series of Preferred Stock established hereby shall be the “9.5% Series E Noncumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock” (the “Series E Preferred Stock”). The total number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall be 4,800,000 shares, $.01 par value per share. The number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock may from time to time be decreased (but not below the number then outstanding) by the Board of Directors, but may not be increased.

B. DIVIDENDS

1. The holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Corporation’s Board of Directors, out of funds of the Corporation legally available therefor, cash dividends at the rate of 9.5% per annum of the $25.00 stated value per share (the “Stated Value”) of the Series E Preferred Stock per year, or $2.375 per Share of Series E Preferred Stock annually. Such dividends shall be payable monthly in arrears, commencing on June 1, 2006 (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”). If a Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day (as defined below), then the dividend that otherwise would have been payable on such Dividend Payment Date may be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if paid on the Dividend Payment Date, and no interest or additional dividends or other sums shall accrue or be payable on the amount so payable from the Dividend Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. A “Business Day” means any day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, that is neither a legal holiday nor a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York or San Juan, Puerto Rico are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close. The amount of any dividend payable on the Series E Preferred Stock for any full Dividend Period (as defined below) or any partial Dividend Period shall be prorated and computed and paid on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant Dividend Period (it being understood that the initial dividend payable on June 1, 2006 may be for more than a full Dividend Period and will reflect dividends accumulated from and including the original

issue date through and including June 1, 2006). A “Dividend Period” shall mean the period from and including the Original Issue Date to and including the first Dividend Payment Date, and each subsequent period from and excluding a Dividend Payment Date to and including the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the shareholder records of the Corporation at the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the 15^th day of the calendar month in which the Dividend Payment Date falls (each, a “Dividend Record Date”).

2. Dividends payable on the Series E Preferred Stock shall not accumulate.

3. No dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock shall be declared by the Corporation’s Board of Directors or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation at such time as the terms and provisions of any agreement of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness and any related waiver or amendment thereto, prohibits such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provides that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration or payment is restricted or prohibited by law.

4. Except as provided in Section B.5 below, unless dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock for the then current Dividend Period shall have been or are declared and paid in cash, and the Corporation has declared and paid dividends on each Dividend Payment Date for the preceding six (6) Dividend Periods, no dividends shall be declared by the Corporation’s Board of Directors or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation, and no other distribution of cash or other property may be declared or made, directly or indirectly, on or with respect to any shares of the Corporation’s common stock, $.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), or shares of any other class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock ranking, as to dividends, junior to the Series E Preferred Stock (other than a dividend paid in shares of Common Stock or in shares of any other class or series of the Corporation’s capital stock ranking junior to the Series E Preferred Stock as to (i) dividends and (ii) upon liquidation on the related Dividend Payment Date or during the immediately succeeding Dividend Period), nor shall any shares of Common Stock, or any other shares of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, junior to, the Series E Preferred Stock, be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (nor shall any funds be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption or retirement, purchase or reduction of any such shares) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for other shares of Corporation capital stock ranking junior to the Series E Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation) on such Dividend Payment Date or during the immediately succeeding Dividend Period.

5. When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not set apart by the Corporation) upon the Series E Preferred Stock and any other series of preferred stock issued by the Corporation ranking on a parity as to dividends or upon liquidation (“Parity Shares”) with the Series E Preferred Stock, if any, all dividends declared upon the Series E Preferred Stock and any such other series of Parity Shares shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series E Preferred Stock and such other series of Parity Shares shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that the dividends per share on the Series E Preferred Stock and such other series of Parity Shares bear to each other.

6. All dividends paid with respect to shares of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be paid pro rata to the holders of such shares entitled thereto. Holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or shares of any class or series (including the Series E Preferred Stock), in excess of the dividends on the Series E Preferred Stock as provided herein.

C. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE

1. Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation (each, a “Liquidation”), the holders of shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its shareholders a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share of Series E Preferred Stock plus all accrued dividends since the last Dividend Payment Date (the “Liquidation Preference”), before any distribution or payment shall be made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series E Preferred Stock as to liquidation rights. In the event that, upon such Liquidation, the available assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series E Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all Parity Shares, if any, having the same Liquidation Preference, then the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock and all other such classes or series of Parity Shares shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled, and the holders of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation.

2. Written notice of any Liquidation, stating the payment date or dates and the place or places on and at which the amounts distributable as a result thereof shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage paid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the first payment date stated therein, to each record holder of shares of Series E Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as they appear on the Corporation’s stock transfer records.

3. After payment to the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock of the full liquidation amounts provided in this Section C, the holders of the Series E Preferred Stock, as such, will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

D. REDEMPTION

1. Optional Redemption by the Corporation. Except as provided in Sections D.3 and D.4 below, shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable, in whole or in part, by the Corporation prior to seven (7) years from the date of issuance and prior to the redemption by R&G Acquisition Holdings Corporation (“RAC”) of all its outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Availability Date”). On and after such Redemption Availability Date, the Corporation may, at its option and subject to prior approval of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or its delegee (the “Federal Reserve”), redeem the shares of Series E Preferred Stock at any time and from time to time, in whole or in part, at a price per share (the “Redemption Price”), payable in cash, of $25.00 per preferred share, together with all accrued but unpaid dividends since the last scheduled Dividend Payment Date on the date fixed for redemption (the “Redemption Date”), to the fullest extent the Corporation has funds legally available therefor. The Series E Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption provisions (except as set forth in Section 5(c) below). The Corporation shall not purchase, before or after the applicable Redemption Availability Date for the shares of Series E Preferred Stock, either at a public or private sale or by tender offer, all or part of such shares, except pursuant to an offer made on the same terms and conditions to all holders of such shares, subject to the provisions of applicable law.

2. Procedures for Redemption.

(i) A notice of redemption shall be mailed by the Corporation, postage paid, not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each record holder of shares of Series E Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as they appear on the Corporation’s stock transfer

-3-

records. In addition to any information required by law, such notice shall state: (i) the Redemption Date; (ii) the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (iii) the Redemption Price; and (iv) the place or places where certificates for such shares are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price. If fewer than all the shares of Series E Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed from such holder. No failure to provide such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock, except as to the holder to whom the Corporation has failed to give notice or except as to the holder to whom notice was defective. In order to facilitate the redemption of shares of Series E Preferred Stock, the Corporation’s Board of Directors may fix a record date for the determination of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock to be redeemed, such record date not to be less than 30 or more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such redemption.

(ii) If notice has been given as provided above, and provided further that on or before the Redemption Date specified in such notice, all funds necessary for such redemption shall, subject to Section D.2(iii) below, have been irrevocably set aside by the Corporation, separate and apart from its other funds, in trust with an independent bank that is a member of the FDIC having capital and surplus of not less than $500,000,000 (an “Eligible Trustee”) for the pro rata benefit of the holders of the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock so called for redemption, so as to be, and to continue to be available therefore, then, from and after the Redemption Date (unless the Corporation defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price), said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and all rights of the holders thereof, as such, (except the right to receive the Redemption Price) shall cease. Upon surrender, in accordance with such notice, of the certificates for any shares of Series E Preferred Stock so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, as the Corporation may require and the notice shall so state), such shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the Redemption Price. In case fewer than all of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock represented by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate or certificates shall be issued representing the unredeemed shares of Series E Preferred Stock without cost to the holder(s) thereof; provided the Corporation shall have no obligation to issue any fractional shares of Series E Preferred Stock, but instead shall pay the holder the proportionate amount of the Redemption Price of such fractional shares.

(iii) Any funds deposited with an Eligible Trustee as contemplated by Section D.2(ii) shall be irrevocably set aside by the Corporation except that: (A) the Corporation shall be entitled to receive from the Eligible Trustee where such funds have been deposited, the interest or other earnings, if any, earned on any funds so deposited in trust, and the holders of any shares of Series E Preferred Stock redeemed shall have no claim to such interest or other earnings; and (B) subject to applicable laws, any balance of funds so deposited by the Corporation and unclaimed by the holders of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock entitled thereto at the expiration of two years from the applicable Redemption Date shall be repaid to the Corporation, together with any interest or other earnings earned thereon, and after such repayment, the holders of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock entitled to the funds so repaid shall look only to the Corporation for payment, which shall be without interest or other earnings.

(iv) Unless full dividends on all shares of Series E Preferred Stock have been declared and paid in cash for each of the last six (6) consecutive prior Dividend Periods, or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash set apart for payment for the current Dividend Period, the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any shares of the Corporation’s capital stock ranking junior to the shares of Series E Preferred Stock. If fewer than all of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock outstanding are to be redeemed pursuant to this Section D, the Corporation shall call for redemption shares of Series E Preferred Stock pro rata among the holders, the number of shares of Series E Preferred Stock held of record by each holder (with any necessary adjustments to avoid any outstanding fractional shares). If fewer than all the shares of Series E Preferred Stock represented by any

-4-

share certificate are to be so redeemed, the Corporation shall issue a new certificate for the shares not redeemed, provided the Corporation shall have no obligation to issue any fractional shares of Series E Preferred Stock, but instead shall pay the holder the proportionate amount of the Redemption Price of such fractional shares.

(v) All shares of the Series E Preferred Stock redeemed or repurchased pursuant to this Section D shall be retired and canceled and shall not be available for reissuance.

3. Automatic Redemption. Shares of the Series E Preferred Stock are automatically redeemable, subject to prior Federal Reserve approval, solely upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” of the Corporation, RAC or R-G Crown Bank (“Crown Bank”), in whole but not in part, at a cash redemption price equal to 110% of the Stated Value of such shares (an “Automatic Redemption”) plus all accrued but unpaid dividends since the last Dividend Payment Date. For purposes hereof, a Change in Control shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) Crown Bank is a party to a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange, spin off, split off or any other transaction as a result of which RAC no longer owns 100% of Crown Bank’s capital stock of all classes and series (including, for the purposes of this provision, all securities or instruments exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for such capital stock), or Crown Bank is a party to a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions (individually and collectively, a “Reorganization”); (ii) shares of capital stock of Crown Bank shall become subject to any security interest, mortgage, pledge or negative pledge, hypothecation, lien, encumbrance, or adverse equities or claims; (iii) the Corporation or RAC is a party to a Reorganization as a result of which the Corporation no longer owns 100% of RAC’s capital stock of all classes and series (including, for the purposes of this provision, all securities or instruments exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for such capital stock); (iv) any “person” (as such term is used in Section 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or persons acting together or in concert (including any “group”), and who are not, at the date hereof, beneficial owners (as defined in Rule 13(d) under the Exchange Act), individually or collectively, of 25% or more of any class or series of securities of the Corporation, RAC or Crown Bank shall become the beneficial owner of securities of the Corporation, RAC or Crown Bank, or securities or instruments exercisable, convertible or exchangeable for such securities representing 25% or more of the voting power of either any individual class of securities or of any classes which vote together with the Corporation’s, RAC’s or Crown Bank’s then outstanding securities; or (v) a change in a majority of the persons serving on the Corporation’s Board of Directors from those persons serving as directors on the date hereof (“Existing Directors”), provided, however, new directors nominated or elected by a majority of the Corporation’s Board of Directors shall be deemed Existing Directors for purposes hereof. Without affecting or limiting any rights, privileges or powers of holders of Series E Preferred Stock, in the event of a Change in Control where (i) either the Corporation or the entity surviving any Reorganization (the “Surviving Entity”) that is a “bank holding company” under the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”) at the effective time of the Reorganization (w) is not well capitalized, (x) is not in compliance with regulatory capital adequacy requirements, or (y) has not received approval from applicable regulatory authorities for any redemption of the Series E Preferred Stock or for any instrument issued by any depository institution subsidiary of the Corporation or of the Surviving Entity into which such Series E Preferred Stock is convertible, or (ii) any depository institution subsidiary of the Corporation or of the Surviving Entity is not well capitalized for purposes of the prompt corrective action rules of its primary federal regulatory authority, then, notwithstanding that a Change in Control has occurred, holders of Series E Preferred Stock shall not have rights to Automatic Redemption hereunder, unless and until such Automatic Redemption is approved by the Federal Reserve.

4. Subject to the approval of the Federal Reserve, the Corporation shall redeem the shares of the Series E Preferred Stock prior to the expiration of seven (7) years to the full extent of the

-5-

proceeds received by the Corporation in connection with the exercise of any (i) Warrant to Purchase Shares of Common Stock of the Corporation issued in connection with the authorization and issuance of RAC Series A Preferred Stock (the “RGF Warrants”), or (ii) Purchase Rights under the Additional Purchase Rights Investment Agreement, dated as of March 27, 2006 (the “Additional Purchase Rights Investment Agreement”). To the extent that any RGF Warrants or Purchase Rights are exercised by means of a “Preferred Exchange” as defined in Section 1.3(c) of the RGF Warrants or Section 4.1 of the Additional Purchase Rights Investment Agreement, the Corporation shall deliver the shares of RAC Series A Preferred Stock tendered in connection with such Preferred Exchange to RAC for cancellation in exchange for shares of the Corporation’s Series E Preferred Stock having an equal aggregate stated value.
