A qualifying financial institution (“QFI”) that is (i) any U.S. bank or
U.S. savings association not controlled by a Bank Holding Company
(“BHC”) or Savings and Loan Holding Company (“SLHC”); (ii) any
top-tier U.S. BHC, (iii) any top-tier U.S. SLHC which engages
solely or predominately in activities that are permitted for financial
holding companies under relevant law; or (iv) any U.S. bank or U.S.
savings association controlled by a U.S. SLHC that does not engage
solely or predominately in activities that are permitted for financial
holding companies under relevant law, excluding Subchapter S
corporations and mutual organizations; provided, that, in each case,
(i) the QFI collectively with all of its affiliates satisfies the
requirements of 12 C.F.R. 1805.200(b); (ii) the QFI or an affiliate
thereof is a regulated community development financial institution
(“CDFI”) currently certified by the Community Development
Financial Institution Fund (the “Fund”) of the United States
Department of the Treasury (“UST”) pursuant to 12 C.F.R.
1805.201(a) as having met the eligibility requirements of the Fund’s
Community Development Financial Institutions Program (the QFI
or, if the QFI itself is not currently certified by the Fund as a CDFI,
any affiliate that is currently certified by the Fund as a CDFI, each, a
“Certified Entity”); and (iii) the QFI shall not be any BHC, SLHC,
bank or savings association controlled (within the meaning of 12
U.S.C. 1841(a)(2) and 12 C.F.R. 225(a)(i) in the case of BHCs and
banks; and 12 U.S.C. 1467a (a)(2) and 12 C.F.R. 583.7 in the case of
SLHCs and savings associations) by a foreign bank or company.
For purposes of this program, “U.S. bank”, “U.S. savings
association,” “U.S. BHC” and “U.S. SLHC” means a bank, savings
association, BHC or SLHC organized under the laws of the United
States or any State of the United States, the District of Columbia,
any territory or possession of the United States, Puerto Rico,
Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, American Samoa, or the Virgin
Islands. UST will determine the eligibility and allocation of
funds for each QFI after consultation with the appropriate
federal banking agency.
Initial Holder:
UST.
Security:
Senior preferred stock (the “CDCI Senior Preferred”), liquidation
preference $1,000 per share. Depending upon each QFI’s available
authorized preferred shares, UST may agree to purchase CDCI
Senior Preferred with a higher liquidation preference per share, in
which case UST may require the QFI to appoint a depositary to hold
the CDCI Senior Preferred and issue depositary receipts.
Size:
Each QFI may issue CDCI Senior Preferred having an aggregate
capital amount (the “Maximum Investment Amount”) equal to not
more than five percent (5%) of (i), if the QFI is a Certified Entity the
risk-weighted assets (“RWA”) of the QFI, or (ii), if the QFI is not a
Certified Entity, the sum of the RWAs of each of the Certified
Entities, in each case less the aggregate capital or, as the case may
be, principal amount of any outstanding TARP assistance of the QFI.
Any QFI that, in applying to qualify for this program, is determined
by its primary regulators to require additional capital in order to be a
“viable” financial institution, shall be required to receive capital
(“Private Capital”) from one or more private, non-government
investors prior to or concurrently with any purchase of CDCI Senior
Preferred by UST, such that the sum of the Private Capital and the
amount of CDCI Senior Preferred issued to such QFI under this
program shall be sufficient to establish the QFI’s “viability” on a
pro-forma basis. Such QFI receiving Private Capital shall only be
eligible to issue CDCI Senior Preferred in an aggregate amount
equal to, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the amount of Private Capital it
received; provided that the amount of CDCI Senior Preferred issued
shall not be greater than the Maximum Investment Amount;
provided further that any Private Capital shall be subordinate to the
CDCI Senior Preferred, on terms satisfactory to UST.
QFIs currently participating in the UST Capital Purchase Program
(“CPP”) that issued preferred stock to UST may apply to exchange
the entirety of their existing CPP preferred stock for CDCI Senior
Preferred as set forth herein.1 Additionally, such QFIs may, but
shall not be required to, apply to issue CDCI Senior Preferred to
UST in an aggregate capital amount up to the positive difference, if
any, between (i) (x), if the QFI is a Certified Entity, five percent
(5%) of the RWA of the QFI or (y), if the QFI is not a Certified
Entity, five percent (5%) of the sum of the RWAs of each of the
Certified Entities and (ii) the aggregate liquidation preference of any
outstanding (x) preferred stock issued under CPP and (y) CDCI
Senior Preferred; provided, however, with respect to either an

Applications for exchanges of CPP preferred stock for CDCI Senior Preferred shall be made on a different
application form than applications for new issuances of CDCI Senior Preferred. Applications solely to exchange
CPP preferred stock for CDCI Senior Preferred shall not be required to be reviewed by the primary regulators of the
applying QFI.

representation, warranty or covenant set forth in the documents
governing the CPP preferred stock or its sale to UST; and (ii)(x)
with respect to cumulative CPP preferred stock, the QFI has paid, as
of the closing date of this investment, all accrued and unpaid
dividends or interest and (y) with respect to non-cumulative CPP
preferred stock, the QFI has paid, as of the closing date of this
investment, the amount of any unpaid dividends or interest for the
fiscal quarter prior to the closing date plus the accrued and unpaid
dividends or interest as of the closing date for the fiscal quarter in
which the closing shall occur.
RWA, for purposes hereunder, shall be as of the most recent fiscal
quarter ended.
Ranking:
Senior to common stock and pari passu with existing or future
authorized or issued preferred shares but senior to preferred shares
which by their terms rank junior to any existing or future authorized
or issued preferred shares.

Dividend Rate:
Two percent (2%) per annum until the eighth (8th) anniversary of the
closing date of this investment and thereafter at a rate of nine percent
(9%) per annum.
Dividends shall be payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May
15, August 15 and November 15 of each year. Dividends shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months.
Dividend Form:
For each QFI that is a BHC or SLHC, the CDCI Senior Preferred
shall pay cumulative dividends. For each QFI that is not a BHC or
SLHC, the CDCI Senior Preferred shall pay non-cumulative
dividends.
Redemption:
The CDCI Senior Preferred may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at
any time and from time to time, at the option of the QFI, subject to
the approval of the QFI’s primary federal bank regulator. All
redemptions of the CDCI Senior Preferred shall be at 100% of its
liquidation preference, plus (i) in the case of cumulative CDCI
Senior Preferred, any accrued and unpaid dividends and (ii) in the
case of non-cumulative CDCI Senior Preferred, accrued and unpaid
dividends for the then current dividend period (regardless of whether
