######### FDIC LEASING REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS

INSTRUCTIONS TO LESSORS

This FDIC Leasing Representations and Certifications form (the
"Certifications") is comprised of two parts:

Part I -- [Certifications Concerning the Premises and the
Building,]{.underline} and Part II -- [Lessor Fitness and Integrity
Certifications.]{.underline}

The FDIC requires that all Lessors complete both Parts of the
Certifications and submit them as part of any Offer to enter into a
Lease or a Lease Agreement. The Certifications shall be executed by an
official authorized to bind the Lessor, and they shall be attached to
and made a part of any Lease or Lease Amendment. For purposes of the
Certifications, the FDIC is considered an agency of the United States
with respect to its rights and remedies under Title 18 of the United
States Code. **The Certifications concern matters within the
jurisdiction of an agency of the United States, and the making of a
false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker
subject to prosecution under 18 U.S.C. §§ 1001, 1007, and 1014.**

Pursuant to paragraph IV.A. of the FDIC's Policy Statement on the
Fitness and Integrity of Lessors of Real Property to the FDIC (the
"Policy Statement"), dated February 6, 1996 (published in the [Federal
Registrar]{.underline} on February 13, 1996, and amended in the [Federal
Registrar]{.underline} on April 26, 1996), a copy of which is attached
hereto as **Schedule A**, the FDIC will not consider Offers from
Lessors, award Leases to Lessors, or enter into Lease Amendments with
Lessors that either (a) fail to provide any of the information required
by the Policy Statement, or (b) have Conflicts of Interest, unless such
Conflicts of Interest are eliminated by the Lessor or waived by the
FDIC.

All items within the Certifications must be completed. If the Lessor
cannot certify "True" to an entire statement, or if a statement is
partly "True" and partly "False" for the Lessor, the "False" box must be
checked. Whenever the "False" box is checked, the Lessor must attach a
detailed description of the particular defect or situation and, if
applicable, a description of the Lessor's plans to remedy or eliminate
the defect or situation.

If at any time prior to the award of the Lease or Lease Amendment, or
during the term of the Lease, the Lessor learns that one or more of the
representations or certifications made herein was erroneous when
submitted or has become erroneous, the Lessor shall notify the FDIC
within five business days.

All capitalized terms not otherwise defined within the Certifications
shall have the meaning set forth in the Policy Statement, which is
attached as Schedule A, unless noted otherwise within the
Certifications.

In connection with its Offer to lease certain space (the "Premises") to
the FDIC, in the building (the "Building"), at the

following address:
[\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_     ]{.underline},
the undersigned Lessor,
[ \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_    ]{.underline}, certifies

**POLICY STATEMENT ON THE FITNESS AND INTEGRITY OF LESSORS OF REAL
PROPERTY TO THE FDIC**

IV\. **Policy**

A.  ***General**.* The FDIC will not consider Offers from Lessors, award
    Leases to Lessors, or enter into Lease Amendments with Lessors that
    either (a) fail to provide any of the information required by this
    policy; or (b) have Conflicts of Interest, unless such Conflicts of
    Interest are eliminated by the Lessor or waived by the FDIC.

B.  ***Waivers**.* Waivers of Conflicts of Interest will be granted only
    when, in light of all relevant circumstances, the Executive
    Secretary, or the designee of the Executive Secretary determines in
    his or her discretion that the interests of the FDIC in entering
    into a Lease or a Lease Amendment with the Lessor outweigh the
    concern that a reasonable person may question the integrity of the
    FDIC's operations.

V. **Procedures**

> A. ***Conflicts of Interest***

(1) ***Conflicts of Interest in existence prior to submission of an
    Offer**:*

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
(a) A Lessor shall provide all information and certifications required
    in paragraph V.B. hereof at the time it makes an Offer to the FDIC.

(b) A Lessor that has a Conflict of Interest as defined at paragraph
    III.B.(1) through (5) of this policy statement shall, with its
    Offer, request that the Conflict of Interest be waived in accordance
    with paragraph IV.B., or propose how the Lessor will eliminate the
    Conflict of Interest.

(c) The Executive Secretary or designee, at his or her discretion, may
    waive the Conflict of Interest in accordance with paragraph IV.B.,
    or may approve in writing a Lessor's proposal to eliminate the
    Conflict of Interest for purposes of the specific Lease.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
(2) ***Conflicts of Interest arising after submission of an Offer but
    prior to entering into a Lease**:*

> \(a\) If, after submitting its Offer, but prior to entering into a
> Lease, a Lessor discovers that it has a Conflict of Interest, it must
> notify the FDIC in writing within five business days of such
> discovery. The Lessor shall include with such notification a detailed
> description of the Conflict of Interest, and (i) a statement of how it
> intends to eliminate the Conflict of Interest; or (ii) a request for a
> waiver of the Conflict of Interest.
>
> \(b\) The Executive Secretary or designee, at his or her discretion,
> may waive the Conflict of Interest in accordance with paragraph IV.B.,
> or may approve in writing a Lessor's proposal to eliminate the
> Conflict of Interest for purposes of the specific Lease.
>
> \(3\) ***Conflicts of Interest that arise after entering into a
> Lease**.* FDIC Lease agreements shall require that the Lessor notify
> the FDIC in writing within five business days after discovering a
> Conflict of Interest that arises after the Lessor and the FDIC have
> entered into a Lease. The Lessor shall include with such notification
> a detailed description of the Conflict of Interest, and either (i) a
> statement of how it intends to eliminate the Conflict of Interest; or
> (ii) a request for a waiver of the Conflict of Interest. After receipt
> of such notice from the Lessor, the FDIC shall take such action as it
> determines is in the FDIC's best interests, including:

(a) The FDIC shall notify the Lessor in writing of its findings as to
    whether a Conflict of Interest exists. If the FDIC finds that a
    Conflict of Interest exists, the FDIC shall also notify the Lessor
    in writing of the basis for such determination, and when applicable:

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
(i) whether a waiver will be granted, and if so, the terms and
    conditions of such waiver; or

(ii) a description of the corrective actions, if any, that the Lessor
     will take in order to eliminate the Conflict of Interest.
     Corrective actions must be completed by the Lessor not later than
     30 days after notification is mailed by the FDIC unless the FDIC,
     in its sole discretion, determines that it is in the best interests
     of the FDIC to grant the Lessor an extension in which to complete
     such corrective action.

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
(b) Unless the FDIC waives the Conflict of Interest or the Lessor
    eliminates the Conflict of Interest, the FDIC shall not enter into
    any Lease Amendments with the Lessor.

**POLICY STATEMENT ON THE FITNESS AND INTEGRITY OF LESSORS OF REAL
PROPERTY FOR THE FDIC**

> \(4\) ***Conflicts of Interest discovered by the FDIC**.* The FDIC
> will review all information provided by the Lessor with its Offer, as
> well as information from other sources that the FDIC determines is
> relevant. If the FDIC, in its sole discretion determines, based on
> such reviews, that a Conflict of Interest exists, an FDIC
> representative shall notify the Lessor of the basis for such
> determination.

(a) If the FDIC discovers a Conflict of Interest after submission of an
    Offer, but prior to entering into a Lease:

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
(i) The Lessor must respond to the FDIC in writing, within five business
    days of the FDIC's notification of its determination in one of the
    following ways.

> \[1\] stating how it intends to eliminate the Conflict of Interest; or
>
> \[2\] requesting that the FDIC waive the Conflict of Interest; or
>
> \[3\] if the FDIC's determination was based solely on information from
> a source other than the Lessor, and the Lessor can demonstrate that
> such information was incomplete or incorrect, the Lessor may provide
> additional or corrected facts and request that the FDIC consider such
> facts and reevaluate its determination that a Conflict of Interest
> exists. After reviewing the Lessor's additional or corrected
> information, the FDIC will notify the Lessor promptly whether it
> confirms its determination that a Conflict of Interest exists.

(ii) If the Lessor does not respond in writing to the FDIC within five
     business days, the FDIC shall deem the Lessor's Offer to have been
     withdrawn.

> \(b\) If the FDIC discovers a Conflict of Interest after entering into
> a Lease, the FDIC shall take such action as it determines is in the
> FDIC's best interest, including the actions described in V.A.(3)(a)
> and (b). As detailed at V.A.(4)(a)(i)\[3\], the Lessor can request
> that the FDIC reevaluate its determination if the FDIC's determination
> was based soley on information from a source other than the Lessor,
> and the Lessor can demonstrate that such information was incomplete or
> incorrect. After reviewing the Lessor's additional or corrected
> information, the FDIC will notify the Lessor promptly whether or not
> it will reverse its determination that a Conflict of Interest exists.
>
> \(5\) ***Reconsideration of decisions**.* The Lessor may request that
> the chairman or designee(s) reconsider FDIC decisions regarding
> acceptance of a Lessor's proposal for the elimination of a Conflict of
> Interest, or the issuance of a requested waiver to a Conflict of
> Interest. Such requests must be in writing and contain the reasons for
> the request. The Chairman or designee(s) shall have the right to
> decline reconsideration.

> Amendment. Among other items, the form shall require that the Lessor
> provide the following:
