ELIGIBILITY CERTIFICATION

The undersigned hereby certifies that all of the following statements are true, correct and complete when made and will be true at closing of the sale:

1. Officers or Directors of Financial Companies. Neither the Prospective Purchaser nor any of its Associated Person(s) has ever participated as an officer or director of a financial company that has become a Covered Financial Company or of an affiliate of such company in a material way in one or more transactions that have caused a Substantial Loss to a Covered Financial Company. A Prospective Purchaser has participated in a “material way in one or more transactions that have caused a Substantial Loss to a Covered Financial Company” if, in connection with such Substantial Loss, the Prospective Purchaser has been found in a final determination by a court or administrative tribunal, or is alleged in a judicial or administrative action brought by the FDIC or a primary financial regulatory agency or by any component of the government of the United States or of any state (1) to have violated any law, regulation or order issued by a federal or state regulatory agency, or breached or defaulted on a written agreement with a federal or state regulatory agency, or breached a written agreement with a Covered Financial Company; or (2) to have breached a fiduciary duty owed to a Covered Financial Company.

2. Removal or Prohibition from Participation in the Affairs of a Financial Company. Neither the Prospective Purchaser nor any of its Associated Person(s) has been removed from, or prohibited from participating in the affairs of, a financial company pursuant to any final enforcement action by the FDIC or any primary financial regulatory agency.

3. Pattern or Practice of Defalcation. Neither the Prospective Purchaser nor any of its Associated Person(s) has engaged in more than one transaction with the intent to cause a loss, or with reckless disregard for whether such transactions would cause a loss, to any Financial Company, where the transactions, in the aggregate, caused a Substantial Loss to one or more Covered Financial Companies.

4. Convicted of Certain Crimes. Neither the Prospective Purchaser nor any of its Associated Person(s) (1) has been convicted of committing or conspiring to commit any offense under Section 215, 656, 657, 1005, 1006, 1007, 1008, 1014, 1032, 1341, 1343 or 1344 of Title 18 of the United States Code affecting any Covered Financial Company; and (2) has defaulted on any debt or duty to pay money (including any guarantee) owed to the FDIC or any Covered Financial Company to such an extent that a judgment has been rendered in favor of the FDIC or the property securing the debt has been foreclosed on.

5. Prohibited from Purchasing Insured Depository Institution Assets. Neither the Prospective Purchaser nor any of its Associated Person(s) are prohibited from purchasing the assets of a failed insured depository institution from the FDIC under 12 U.S.C. § 1821(p) or 12 C.F.R. Part 340.

6. If Seller Financing Is Used. Neither the Prospective Purchaser nor any of its Associated Person(s) (1) has defaulted on any debts or duties to pay money (including any guarantee) to the FDIC or a Covered Financial Company that, in the aggregate, exceed $1,000,000, to such an extent that a judgment has been rendered in favor of the FDIC or the property securing the debt has been foreclosed on; and (2) has made any fraudulent misrepresentations in connection with any of these debts or duties to pay money. This representation is not required, and has no effect, if the Prospective Purchaser does not finance any portion of the purchase price through financing offered by the FDIC.

7. Transactions Structured to Circumvent this Certification. Neither the identity nor form of the Prospective Purchaser, nor any aspect of the contemplated transaction, has been created or altered with the intent, in whole or in part, to allow an individual or entity who otherwise would be ineligible to purchase assets from the FDIC to benefit directly or indirectly from the proposed transaction.
