Summary of Terms of CDCI Senior Securities
Issuer:

A qualifying credit union (“QCU”) that (i) is chartered under the Federal
Credit Union Act or under the laws of any State, the District of Columbia
or any territory or possession of the United States; (ii) if not chartered
under the Federal Credit Union Act, has its deposits insured by the
National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund; (iii) has a low-income
designation per 12 C.F.R. 701.34; (iv) is a natural person credit union as

satisfies the requirements of 12 C.F.R. 1805.200(b); and (vii) is a
regulated community development financial institution 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
(“CDFI”). UST will determine the eligibility of each QCU and
allocation of funds for QCUs after consultation with the National
Credit Union Administration (“NCUA”) and, in the case of a statechartered QCU, the appropriate State Supervisory Authority
(“SSA”).

Initial Holder:

UST.

Security:

Unsecured subordinated debentures (“CDCI Senior Securities”) that do
not constitute a class of stock or represent equity ownership in the issuing
QCU, but constitute secondary capital accounts of the QCU within the
meaning of 12 U.S.C. 1790d(o)(2)(B). Each debenture representing a
CDCI Senior Security shall be in the principal amount of $1,000.

Size of Offering:

Each QCU may issue CDCI Senior Securities with an aggregate principal
amount (the “Principal Amount”) equal to not more than three and a half
percent (3.5%) of its total assets and not more than fifty percent (50%) of
the capital and surplus of the QCU.
Any QCU 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 Securities by UST, such

that the sum of the Private Capital and the amount of CDCI Senior
Securities issued to such QCU under this program shall be sufficient to
establish the QCU’s “viability” on a pro-forma basis. Such QCU
receiving Private Capital shall only be eligible to issue CDCI Senior
Securities 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 Securities issued shall not be greater than three and a half
percent (3.5%) of the QCU’s total assets and not more than fifty percent
(50%) of the capital and surplus of the QCU; provided further that any
Private Capital shall be subordinate to the CDCI Senior Securities, on
terms satisfactory to UST.
Ranking:

Regulatory Capital
Status:

Subordinate to all other claims against the QCU, including the claims of
creditors, shareholders, and the National Credit Union Share Insurance
Fund; available to cover operating losses realized by the QCU that
exceed its net available reserves (exclusive of secondary capital and
allowance accounts for loan and lease losses); and not subject to
restoration or replenishment under any circumstances.
Qualifies as “net worth” of the issuing QCU per 12 U.S.C. 1790d(o).

Maturity:

Either eight (8) or thirteen (13) years from the date of the investment (the
“Maturity Date”).1 On the Maturity Date, the QCU shall repay to UST
the Principal Amount, together with all accrued and unpaid interest.

Interest Rate:

CDCI Senior Securities maturing eight (8) years from the date of the
investment shall pay cumulative interest at a rate of two percent (2%) per
annum until the Maturity Date, and, to the extent not repaid on or prior to
the Maturity Date, thereafter at a default rate of nine percent (9%) per
annum. CDCI Senior Securities maturing thirteen (13) years from the
date of the investment shall pay cumulative interest at a rate of two
percent (2%) per annum until the eighth (8th) anniversary of the date of
issuance, and thereafter at a rate of nine percent (9%) per annum.
Interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears on February 15, May 15,
August 15 and November 15 of each year. Interest on the CDCI Senior
Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months.

Redemption:

CDCI Senior Securities shall be redeemable at 100% of the issue price,
plus any accrued and unpaid interest. All redemptions shall be subject to
the approval of NCUA and, in the case of a state-chartered QCU, the
appropriate SSA.

1

Each applying QCU shall be required to elect, in its sole discretion, to issue CDCI Senior Securities with either an
eight (8) year or a thirteen (13) year maturity.

applicable law (other than other maturing secondary capital accounts),
