PURCHASE AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

This PURCHASE AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of February [18], 2015 between Banco Popular de Puerto Rico (“Seller”), and Centennial Bank (“Purchaser”, together with Seller, the “Parties”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) is currently marketing FDIC Project 15001, a failed bank acquisition of Doral Bank (the “Failed Bank”), and has announced that February 19th, 2015 at 8:00 a.m. CST is the bid acceptance deadline (the “Bid Acceptance Deadline”);

WHEREAS, the FDIC has provided a process whereby prospective bidders may establish an alliance to submit a bid (an “Alliance Bid”) through a lead bidder (the “Lead Bidder”) that encompasses assets or liabilities of the Failed Bank that such Lead Bidder intends to acquire and then subsequently transfer to a third-party member of the alliance (such third party, an “Alliance Bidder”);

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to make one or more Alliance Bids by the Bid Acceptance Deadline, with Seller serving as the Lead Bidder and party to the purchase and assumption agreement to be entered by and among Seller, the FDIC, in its capacity as Receiver (the “Receiver”) and the FDIC, acting in its corporate capacity (the “Corporation”) (the “Primary P&A Agreement”), and with Purchaser serving as an Alliance Bidder;

WHEREAS, the Parties entered into an alliance agreement, dated as of February 13, 2015, by and between the Parties (the “Alliance Agreement”) and agreed to work in good faith to enter into this Agreement as promptly as practical after the date of the Alliance Agreement;

WHEREAS, if an Alliance Bid is accepted by the FDIC, Seller, in its capacity as the Lead Bidder, will purchase certain assets and assume certain liabilities of the Failed Bank upon the terms and conditions to be set forth in the Primary P&A Agreement, including certain assets and liabilities associated with the branches of the Failed Bank set forth in Exhibit 1 (the “Transferred Branches”), subject to the provisions of Section 7.6(a), 7.6(b) and 7.6(e) of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Purchaser, as an Alliance Bidder, desires to purchase from Seller, and Seller, as the Lead Bidder, desires to sell to Purchaser, the Transferred Assets, and Purchaser, as an Alliance Bidder, desires to assume from Seller, and Seller, as the Lead Bidder, desires to have Purchaser assume, the Assumed Liabilities (including the Transferred Deposits) (each as defined herein), in each case upon the terms and conditions set forth herein;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, Seller and Purchaser agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

TRANSFER OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES; INTENT OF THE PARTIES

Section 1.1. Transferred Assets.

(a) As of the Effective Time and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, Seller will sell, assign, transfer, convey and deliver to Purchaser, and Purchaser will purchase from Seller, all of the rights, title and interest of Seller in the following assets, only to the extent such assets are transferred to Seller under the Primary P&A Agreement and subject to all liabilities for indebtedness collateralized by “Liens” (as defined in the Primary P&A Agreement) affecting such assets (if any) to the extent provided in Section 2.1 of the Primary P&A Agreement (collectively, the “Transferred Assets”):

(1) the rights set out in Section 7.7 of this Agreement with respect to those operating contracts under which goods or services are provided at the Transferred Branches, but excluding (A) all contracts that do not apply solely to the Transferred Branches but also apply to other branches or operations of the Failed Bank, and (B) all data processing contracts, regardless of scope (subject, in each case, to such exclusions, the “Assignable Contracts”);

(2) all safe deposit contracts and leases for the safe deposit boxes located at the Transferred Branches (the “Safe Deposit Contracts”), if any;

(3) all securities and other items held at the Transferred Branches in safekeeping for customers of the Failed Bank (the “Safekeeping Assets”), if any;

(4) the loans set forth below:

(A) all overdrafts of customers (including but not limited to overdrafts made pursuant to an overdraft protection plan or similar extension of credit) in connection with the Transferred Deposits (the “Overdraft Loans”);

(B) the “Deposit Secured Loans” (as defined in the Primary P&A Agreement) that are fully secured by the Transferred Deposits; and

(C) the loans in certain “Optional Loan Pools” (as defined in the Primary P&A Agreement) referenced in the Bid Form as Optional Loan Pools 200, 300, 400 and 500 that are listed on Exhibit 1.1(a)(4)(C) (“U.S. Performing Loans” and, together with the Overdraft Loans and Deposit Secured Loans, the “Transferred Loans”); and

(5) all coins and currency located at the Transferred Branches as of the Effective Time (the “Coins and Currency”).

(b) Purchaser understands and agrees that it is purchasing only the assets specified in this Agreement and only to the extent Seller obtains such assets under the Primary P&A Agreement. Purchaser shall have no interest in or right to any other banking business

-2-

conducted by Seller or the Failed Bank, whether previously conducted at the Transferred Branches or otherwise, including any other banking relationships with holders of the Transferred Deposits (the “Excluded Assets”). The parties acknowledge and agree that any loans or other assets associated with the Failed Bank’s offices in Miami or New York are included in Excluded Assets.

Section 1.2. Assumed Liabilities.

(a) From and after the Effective Time, Purchaser will assume, and will pay, perform and discharge as they become due, all of the following liabilities, duties and obligations (collectively the “Assumed Liabilities”):

(1) all liabilities, duties and obligations related to the “Assumed Deposits” (as defined in the Primary P&A Agreement) that were transferred to Seller under the Primary P&A Agreement that are booked at the Transferred Branches as of the Effective Time, including accrued but unpaid or uncredited interest thereon (collectively, the “Transferred Deposits”). For informational purposes only, a list of the amounts of Assumed Deposits associated with the Transferred Branches as of December 31, 2014 based upon the information provided by the FDIC is attached as Exhibit 1.2(a)(1);

(2) all of the liabilities, duties and obligations of Seller existing or required to be performed from and after the Effective Time under the Primary P&A Agreement with respect to the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Branches (the “FDIC Obligations”);

(3) all liabilities, duties and obligations relating to the Transferred Branch Employees;

(4) all liabilities, duties and obligations for Taxes relating to the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Branches, including, but not limited to, all liabilities, duties and obligations for Taxes set forth in Section 7.25 of this Agreement; and

(5) all other liabilities, duties and obligations of any nature whatsoever, whether accrued or unaccrued, primary or secondary, contingent or non-contingent, direct or indirect, asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, relating to the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Branches (including all accrued interest and fees relating to the Transferred Deposits).

(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is not the intention of the Parties that the assumption by Purchaser of the Assumed Liabilities shall in any way enlarge the rights of any third parties relating thereto. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent either Party hereto from contesting matters relating to the Assumed Liabilities with any third-party obligee.

-3-

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any individual retirement accounts (“▇▇▇ Accounts”) that require consent to transfer will remain with Seller until such time as all required consents have been obtained. From and after the Effective Time, Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any such consents. Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Purchaser in taking any action necessary to accomplish either the appointment of Purchaser as successor custodian or the delegation to Purchaser of Seller’s authority and responsibility as custodian of such ▇▇▇ Accounts (other than ▇▇▇ Accounts that are self-directed).

Section 1.3. Intention of the Parties.

(a) It is the express intention of the Parties that this Agreement replicate, in all ways possible, a direct purchase of the Transferred Assets and assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by Purchaser from the Receiver. Seller’s role in this Agreement is intended to be a pass-through to synthetically recreate, by contract, the terms of such a direct purchase and assumption. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be interpreted, and the Parties agree to cooperate to take all steps necessary, to effectuate this intention.

(b) Certain provisions of this Agreement rely on Seller being able to exercise certain rights under the Primary P&A Agreement on behalf of Purchaser. The Parties acknowledge and agree that (1) the Receiver may not permit such actions or may require additional agreements or undertakings from the Parties prior to permitting such actions and (2) whenever possible, the Parties agree to work with the Receiver to permit Purchaser to interface directly with the Receiver and exercise any rights directly without the involvement of Seller. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Seller’s sole obligations with respect to such rights are: (i) to request the Receiver to take actions on behalf of Purchaser and to reasonably cooperate if accepted by the Receiver; and (ii) to follow Purchaser’s directions as reasonably requested and to the extent permitted pursuant to this Agreement, including the timing of any notices to the Receiver, with respect to actions taken on behalf of Purchaser under the Primary P&A Agreement. Any costs incurred by Seller in the exercise of any rights by or on behalf of Purchaser shall be reimbursed by Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.6 of this Agreement.

(2) the amount of any deferred revenue, income or fees recorded on the general ledger of the Failed Bank as of the Bank Closing Date attributable to the Safe Deposit Box Business and the Safekeeping Business conducted at the Transferred Branches (if any) as provided in Section 2.1(n) of the Primary P&A Agreement, PLUS

(3) the amount of any costs, fees and expenses incurred by Seller in (A) the transfer of the Transferred Assets and Transferred Deposits from the Failed Bank to Seller and (B) the transfer of the Transferred Assets and Transferred Deposits from Seller to Purchaser, in each case, including any MERS transaction charges (if any).

Section 2.5. Post-Closing Adjustments; Settlement.

(b) Correction of Errors and Omissions; Other Liabilities.

(1) Adjustments to Correct Errors. In the event any bookkeeping omissions or errors are discovered in the Failed Bank’s records through the Receiver’s preparing any Pro Forma statement or in completing the transfers and assumptions contemplated by the Primary P&A Agreement or this Agreement, each of the Parties agrees to correct such errors and omissions in its records with respect to the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Branches in accordance with Section 8.2(a) of the Primary P&A Agreement.

(2) Receiver’s Rights Regarding Other Liabilities. Subsequent to the date of the Primary P&A Agreement, if the Receiver, in its discretion, requires any claim with respect to the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Branches to be assumed by Seller in a manner contemplated by Section 8.2(b) of the Primary P&A Agreement, Purchaser shall to assume such claim from Seller. If the Receiver makes any adjustments to the Pro Forma statement provided by the Receiver to Seller pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Primary P&A Agreement, Seller will make appropriate adjustments to the Post-Closing Statement provided by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(1) of this Agreement as may be necessary.

(3) Other Adjustments. To the extent applicable, Purchaser agrees to make any adjustment required by Section 8.2(c) of the Primary P&A Agreement.

-7-

(1) Seller agrees to cause to be paid to Purchaser one (1) Business Day after the “Settlement Date” (as defined in the Primary P&A Agreement), or Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller one (1) Business Day prior to the Settlement Date, as the case may be, a payment in an amount which reflects net adjustments (including any costs, expenses and fees associated with determinations of value with respect to the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Branches) made pursuant to Section 2.5(a) and Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement, plus interest as provided in Section 2.5(d) of this Agreement.

(2) If any further transfer of assets to or assumption of liabilities or claims by Seller is necessary in accordance with Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 of the Primary P&A Agreement, to the extent that corresponding further transfer of assets to or assumption of liabilities or claims by Purchaser is necessary in accordance with Section 2.5(a) or Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement, the Parties will seek arrangements so that Purchaser can effect any further transfer of assets to or assumption of liabilities or claims by Purchaser directly with the Receiver on the Settlement Date. If such an arrangement is not practical, the Parties agree to cooperate so as to effect both (i) any further transfer of assets to or assumption of liabilities or claims by Seller necessary in accordance with Section 8.1 or Section 8.2 of the Primary P&A Agreement and (ii) any further transfer of assets to or assumption of liabilities or claims by Purchaser necessary in accordance with Section 2.5(a) or Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement.

(d) Interest. Any amounts paid under Section 2.5(c) or Section 2.5(e) of this Agreement shall bear interest for the period from and including the day following the Bank Closing Date to and including the day preceding the payment at the “Settlement Interest Rate” (as defined in the Primary P&A Agreement).

(e) Subsequent Adjustments. In the event that any errors or omissions as contemplated by Section 2.5(b) of this Agreement or any error with respect to the payment made under Section 2.5(c) of this Agreement with respect to the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Branches are discovered after the Settlement Date the Parties agree to promptly correct any such errors or omissions, make any payments and effect any transfers or assumptions as may be necessary to reflect any such correction plus interest as provided in Section 2.5(d) of this Agreement; provided that, no subsequent adjustments pursuant to this Section 2.5(e) of this Agreement shall be made unless and until any corresponding subsequent adjustments are also made pursuant to Section 8.5 of the Primary P&A Agreement.

Section 2.6. Periodic Payments. From and after the Effective Time, (a) Purchaser agrees to reimburse Seller for any amounts owed by Seller to the Receiver with respect to the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Branches and any Seller Transfer Costs not taken into account in the calculation of the Purchase Price, as adjusted by the Post-

-8-

Closing Statement (including any amounts relating to the rights set out in Section 7.6 of this Agreement) and (b) Seller agrees to pass on to Purchaser any amounts received from the Receiver with respect to the Transferred Assets, the Assumed Liabilities or the Transferred Branches (including any amounts relating to the rights set out in Section 7.6 of this Agreement). At least once every two (2) weeks during the first six (6) months after the Bank Closing Date, and on a monthly basis thereafter until the eighteenth (18^th) month anniversary of the Bank Closing Date, Seller will deliver to Purchaser a statement showing the net amounts owed or received under this Section 2.6 of this Agreement. Any such amounts will be settled within two (2) Business Days of delivery of each such statement and, if owing to the Receiver or third parties, will be paid directly to the Receiver or the other third parties when possible.

ARTICLE III

TRANSITIONAL MATTERS

Section 3.1. Transition Period.

(a) The Parties agree that the conversion of the data processing with respect to the Transferred Assets, Assumed Liabilities and the Transferred Branches (the “Conversion”) will occur after the Closing, on a date to be mutually agreed by the Parties. In no event shall Purchaser take any action which will shorten the time allowed for the Conversion under the Primary P&A Agreement without the written consent of Seller, which may be reasonably withheld. Prior to the Conversion, Seller will service the Transferred Branches pursuant to a transition services agreement (“TSA”) to be entered into by the Parties after the date of this Agreement.

(b) Prior to the Conversion, Purchaser will provide Seller with a timetable (reasonably acceptable to Seller), data and other materials necessary for Seller to complete the Conversion. Included in such information will be initial data definitions and layouts, which Seller can use to form the basis for electronic data transfers by Seller or its service provider.

Section 3.2. Planning.

In effecting the settlement of any such demand, claim or lawsuit, the indemnifying Party or the indemnified Party, as the case may be, shall act in good faith and shall enter into only such settlement as the other Party shall consent to, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that an indemnifying Party may enter into a settlement without the consent of an indemnified Party so long as such settlement contains an unconditional release of such indemnified Party from all liabilities arising out of such demand, claim or lawsuit and does not include any admission of fault by the indemnified Party.
