obligation under this Agreement to pay to any such depositor the amount ofsuch Deposit liability 

paid to the Receiver. 

9.5 Withheld Payments. At any time, the Receiver or the Corporation may, in its 

discretion, determine that all or any portion ofany deposit balance assumed by the Assuming 

Bank pursuant to this Agreement does not constitute a "Deposit" (or otherwise, in its discretion, 

determine that it is the best interest ofthe Receiver or Corporation to withhold all or any portion 

ofany deposit), and may direct the Assuming Bank to withhold payment of all or any portion of 

any such deposit balance. Upon such direction, the Assuming Bank agrees to hold such deposit 

and not to make any payment ofsuch deposit balance to or on behalf ofthe depositor, or to itself, 

whether by way oftransfer, set-off, or otherwise. The Assuming Bank agrees to maintain the 

"withheld payment" status ofany such deposit balance until directed in writing by the Receiver 

or the Corporation as to its disposition. At the direction of the Receiver or the Corporation, the 

Assuming Bank shall return all or any portion of such deposit balance to the Receiver or the 

Corporation, as appropriate, and thereupon the Assuming Bank shall be discharged from any 

further liability to such depositor with respect to such returned deposit balance. If such deposit 

balance has been paid to the depositor prior to a demand for return by the Corporation or the 

Receiver, and payment ofsuch deposit balance had not been previously withheld pursuant to this 

Section, the Assuming Bank shall not be obligated to return such deposit balance to the Receiver 

or the Corporation. The Assuming Bank shall be obligated to reimburse the Corporation or the 

Receiver, as the case may be, for the amount ofany deposit balance or portion thereof paid by the 

Assuming Bank in contravention of any previous direction to withhold payment of such deposit 

balance or return such deposit balance the payment ofwhich was withheld pursuant to this 

Section.
