The existence of infinitely many negative eigenvalues of \(H_{22}\) (the second diagonal entry of \({\bf H}\)) is proved for the case where both of the associated Friedrichs models have a zero energy resonance. For the number \(N(z)\) of eigenvalues of \(H_{22}\) lying below \(z\lt0\), the following asymptotics is found \[\lim\limits_{z\to -0} N(z) |\log|z||^{-1}=\,{\mathcal U}_0 \quad (0\lt {\mathcal U}_0\lt \infty).\] Under some natural conditions the infiniteness of the number of eigenvalues located respectively inside, in the gap, and below the bottom of the essential spectrum of \({\mathbf H}\) is proved.
