Effective August 14, 2009, Branch Bank assumed all deposits and acquired certain assets and liabilities of Colonial Bank, an Alabama state-chartered bank headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama ("Colonial Bank"), from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the "FDIC"), as receiver for Colonial Bank (the "Acquisition"), pursuant to the terms of a purchase and assumption agreement entered into by Branch Bank and the FDIC on August 14, 2009 (the "Agreement").

Under the terms of the Agreement, Branch Bank acquired approximately $21.8 billion in assets, including approximately $14.2 billion in loans held and other real estate owned by Colonial Bank, $4.0 billion of marketable securities, $1.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents (excluding cash paid by the FDIC to complete the Acquisition) and $2.1 billion of other assets. Branch Bank also assumed approximately $23.7 billion in liabilities, including approximately $20.1 billion in customer deposits, $3.3 billion in liabilities to the Federal Home Loan Bank and $263 million in securities repurchase obligations. No other assets were acquired or liabilities assumed from Colonial Bank or its parent entity, Colonial BancGroup, Inc. The deposits were acquired at a premium of 2.77% (except for brokered deposits, CDARS and any market place or similar subscription services deposits, which were acquired without a premium) and certain loans were acquired at a discount to Colonial Bank's historic book value as of June 30, 2009 of approximately $4.5 billion, subject to customary adjustments. In connection with the Acquisition, the FDIC will make a payment to Branch Bank in the amount of approximately $3.5 billion, subject to a customary post-closing adjustment based upon the final closing date balance sheet for Colonial Bank. The terms of the Agreement provide for the FDIC to indemnify Branch Bank against claims with respect to liabilities and assets of Colonial Bank or any of its affiliates not assumed or otherwise purchased by Branch Bank and with respect to claims made by shareholders of Colonial BancGroup, Inc.

In connection with the Acquisition, Branch Bank entered into loss sharing agreements with the FDIC that collectively cover approximately $3.5 billion of single family residential mortgage loans and other real estate owned and approximately $10.8 billion of construction, commercial real estate and commercial and industrial loans and securities and other commercial assets (referred to collectively as "covered assets"). Certain other assets of Colonial Bank were acquired by Branch Bank and valued at approximately $5.9 billion that are not covered by loss sharing agreements with the FDIC. These assets include approximately $3.8 billion of marketable securities purchased at fair market value and approximately $220 million of consumer loans (other than single-family residential mortgage loans).

Pursuant to the terms of the loss sharing agreements, the FDIC's obligation to reimburse Branch Bank for losses with respect to covered assets begins with the first dollar of loss incurred. The FDIC will reimburse Branch Bank for 80% of losses of up to $5 billion with respect to covered assets. The FDIC will reimburse Branch Bank for 95% of losses in excess of $5 billion with respect to covered assets. Branch Bank will reimburse the FDIC for 80% of recoveries with respect to losses for which the FDIC paid Branch Bank 80% reimbursement under the loss sharing agreements, and for 95% of recoveries with respect to losses for which the FDIC paid Branch Bank 95% reimbursement under the loss sharing agreements. The loss sharing

In addition, on October 15, 2019 (the "True-Up Measurement Date"), Branch Bank has agreed to pay to the FDIC 55% of the excess, if any, of (1) $1 billion less
(2) the sum of (a) 25% of (i) the aggregate of all of the payments made or payable to Branch Bank under the Shared-Loss Agreements minus (ii) the aggregate of all of the payments made or payable to the FDIC under the Shared-Loss Agreements plus (b) 20% of the sum of the period servicing amounts for every consecutive twelve-month period prior to and ending on the True-Up Measurement Date in respect of each of the shared loss agreements during which the applicable shared loss agreement is in effect (with such period servicing amounts to equal, for any twelve-month period with respect to which respect to each of the shared loss agreements during which such shared loss agreement is in effect, the product of the simple average of the principal amount of shared loss loans and shared loss assets (other than the shared-loss securities) at the beginning and end of such period and 2%).
