Astrada Director for Licensing / Midsize, Trust, Credit Card, and Novel Banks Office of the Comptroller of the Currency 400 7th St., SW Washington, DC 20219 Attn: Sebastian R. Astrada, Director for Licensing / Midsize, Trust, Credit Card, and Novel Banks Re: Agora National Trust Bank: Charter Application – Business and Financial Information and Interagency Biographical and Financial Reports Ladies and Gentlemen: In connection with the application to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (the “OCC”) to charter Agora National Trust Bank (the “Bank”), a national trust bank, enclosed please find the Business Plan, Financial Projections, Proposed Articles of Association, Proposed Bylaws, Employment Agreements and Stock Benefit Plans for the proposed Bank, as well as the Interagency Biographical and Financial Reports of the Bank’s proposed directors and senior executive officers (together, the “Confidential Materials”), which we are submitting to the OCC on behalf of such persons. The information in the Confidential Materials was prepared in each case by the relevant filing person. Confidential Treatment Request Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, and the regulations of the OCC promulgated pursuant thereto, 12 C.F.R. Part 4, Subpart B, we hereby respectfully request that the Confidential Materials be treated confidentially and not

Sebastian R. Astrada -2- be made available for inspection or copying. The Confidential Materials have been marked “Confidential Treatment Requested.” The Confidential Materials include nonpublic commercial or financial information that relates to business, personal, or financial affairs within the meaning of Section 4.12(b)(4)1 of the OCC’s regulations or information that is otherwise exempt from disclosure under Part 4, Subpart B of the OCC’s regulations, the disclosure of which would cause significant harm. At this point in time, the Confidential Materials will not be publicly disclosed and are not required to be publicly disclosed. The information has been actually and customarily kept confidential, and this information is being provided to the OCC under an expectation and implied assurance of privacy.2 Disclosure of this information would reveal confidential business, personal, or financial affairs. The disclosure of confidential commercial information in our Business Plan, Financial Projections, Proposed Articles of Association, Proposed Bylaws, Employment Agreements and Stock Benefit Plans would publicize confidential plans for how we intend to structure and run our business, resulting in a loss of competitive position. As a result, the Confidential Materials are privileged or confidential within the meaning of Section 4.12(b)(4).3 Moreover, the information contained in the Interagency Biographical and Financial Reports falls within the definition of personally identifiable information (“PII”) as outlined in the Comptroller’s Licensing Manual.4 The disclosure of such information could cause “cause substantial harm, embarrassment, inconvenience, or injustice to an individual, including identity theft.”5 Accordingly, we request confidential treatment for the portions of our filing containing PII. In accordance with the guidance in the 1 Under 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4), information that a private party has provided to a government agency is exempt from disclosure if it consists of information that is “trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained from a person and privileged or confidential.” Accord 12 C.F.R. § 4.12(b)(4). The United States Supreme Court clarified that commercial information submitted to the federal government qualifies as “confidential” under 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(4) when, at a minimum, it is “actually” and “customarily” “kept private” and the federal government provides assurances to the submitter that the information will be maintained in confidence.

In addition, we request, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act and the applicable OCC regulations and for reasons including those set forth above, that any memoranda, notes or other writings of any kind whatsoever made by an employee, agent or any person under the control of the OCC (or any other governmental agency) that incorporate, include, or relate to any of the matters referred to in the Confidential Materials (i) furnished to the OCC (or any other governmental agency) or (ii) referred to in any conference, meeting, telephone conversation or interview between (a) directors, senior executive officers, former senior executive officers, representatives, agents or counsel of Agora National Trust Bank and (b) employees, agents or any persons under the control of the OCC, be maintained in confidence, not be made part of any public record and not be disclosed to any person. We also request that, if the OCC should make a preliminary determination not to comply with the foregoing requests for confidential treatment, Agora National Trust Bank and the undersigned be given notice thereof in ample time to permit an appropriate submission as to why such information should be preserved in confidence. If the Confidential Materials or any memoranda, notes or writings are the subject of a Freedom of Information Act request or a request or demand for disclosure by any governmental agency, Congressional office or committee, court or grand jury, we request, pursuant to the OCC’s regulations, that you notify Agora National Trust Bank and the undersigned prior to making such disclosure.

For any question about when to submit a specific item, organizers should contact the appropriate regulatory agencies to discuss the specific timing for submission.

The regulatory agency must consider the applicable statutory requirements set forth in the preceding provisions, as well as applicable regulatory requirements, when acting on this application.
