Qualified Institution

Qualified Institution. A depository institution organized under the laws of the United States of America or any one of the states thereof which at all times has a short-term issuer rating of F1/A-1/P-1 or better by the Rating Agencies (or, in the absence of a F1 rating by Fitch, an issuer default rating of A or better by Fitch) and whose deposits are insured by the FDIC; provided, however, if such depository institution is expected to hold deposits for more than 30 days, such depository institution shall also at all... times have a long-term issuer rating of A or better by Standard & Poor's.
