I know of Sunruse Bank. I oversaw that market for business banking when I was with Wedbush Bank some years back. Unfortunately you will never be impressed if you were part of a loss share agreement with the FDIC. The minute First Fidelity does anything to make you a customer of theirs (renewal, modification of loan docs, basically anything), they will lose the gurantee that they negotiated with the FDIC which they will do all in their power not to do. They will do anything in their power to keep the guarantee than make you a customer of theirs, even if you have a good running company.
