FOR DESIGNATION AS A TREASURY TAX AND LOAN DEPOSITARY
    	
Expiration   Date: 9-30-98
    


 

To:          The Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia, PA, Fiscal Agent of the United States.

 

The undersigned financial institution, First National Community Bank, a commercial bank (hereafter “Depositary”), hereby applies for designation as a Treasury Tax and Loan Depositary in order to maintain and administer a separate account known as a Treasury Tax and Loan account and/or, if applicable, to maintain a note balance.  This application is made pursuant to 31 C.F.R. Part 203, as amended from time to time, which is incorporated by reference herein, and is authorized by due action of its Board of Directors as evidenced by Resolutions of such body, submitted with this application.

 

To support its application, the Depositary hereby certifies that it possesses under its charter and regulations issued by its chartering authority:  (a) either general or specific authority to maintain a Treasury Tax and Loan account and/or, if applicable, a note balance, from which the balances are payable on demand without previous notice of intended withdrawal; (b) either general or specific authority to pledge collateral to secure funds in the Treasury Tax and Loan account and/or, if applicable, the note balance; and (c) it is otherwise eligible under 31 C.F.R. Part 203, as amended from time to time.

 

The Depositary hereby agrees as follows:

 

(1)           To perform Depositary services for the United States Government in accordance with the provisions of 31 C.F.R. Part 203, as amended from time to time, and all instructions issued pursuant thereto.

 

(2)           To pledge securities as collateral security in the classes and amounts and under the terms and conditions as prescribed in 31 C.F.R. Part 203, as amended from time to time, and all instructions issued pursuant thereto.

 

The Depositary represents and warrants that any securities it pledges hereunder are owned by it free and clear of all liens, charges and claims.  If the Federal Reserve Bank, as Fiscal Agent of the United States, agrees that such pledged securities may be held by a third party custodian, or under an extended custody agreement, the Depositary agrees to be bound by any provisions applicable to the Depositary that are set forth in the agreement entered into by the Federal Reserve Bank and the approved custodian(s), as amended from time to time.  The Depositary further agrees that the Federal Reserve Bank’s issuance of instructions to a custodian stating that the Federal Reserve Bank releases its interest in certain securities, will terminate the Federal Reserve Bank’s responsibility with regard to such securities.  The Depositary indemnifies the Federal Reserve Bank and the United States Government from any claims with regard to such securities arising thereafter.

 

(3)           That if the Depositary fails to pay, when due, the whole or any part of the funds received by it for credit to its Treasury Tax and Loan account, and/or if applicable, its note balance; or otherwise violates or fails to perform any of the terms of this agreement, or fails to pay when due amounts owed to the United States or the United States Treasury; or if the Depositary is closed for business by regulatory action or by proper corporate action, or in the event that a receiver, conservator, liquidator or any other officer is appointed; then the Secretary of the Treasury, with or without notice or demand, may redeem or sell, at either public or private sale(s), or otherwise collect the proceeds of all or part of the collateral, including additions and substitutions; and apply the proceeds, after deducting all necessary expenses of such redemptions or sale(s), to the payment of funds received by the Depositary, or other indebtedness of the Depositary to the United States by reason of the above-mentioned authorization; or to satisfy any claims of the United States against the Depositary.

 

(4)           That the above rights are in addition to any other rights provided by law, Treasury regulation, or agreement, which the Secretary of the Treasury may exercise, through such agents as the Secretary may designate.

 

(5)           To comply with all the requirements codified in 31 C.F.R. Part 203, as amended from time to time, and all instructions issued pursuant thereto.
