Exhibit 10.2


 


STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT


 


STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”) made as of this 12th day of November, 2009 between
Prospect Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer” or “Prospect”),
and the signatory on the execution page hereof (“Seller”).


 


WHEREAS, Buyer was organized
for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, capital stock exchange, asset
acquisition or other similar business combination, an operating business (“Business
Combination”); and


 


WHEREAS, Buyer consummated
an initial public offering in November, 2007 (“IPO”) in connection with
which it raised gross proceeds of approximately $250 million, a significant
portion of which was placed in a trust account pending the consummation of a
Business Combination, or the dissolution and liquidation of Buyer in the event
it is unable to consummate a Business Combination on or prior to November 14,
2009; and


 


WHEREAS, Buyer has entered
into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated September 8, 2009, as
amended by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Agreement and
Plan of Merger dated October 22, 2009 and October 26, 2009,
respectively (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Prospect, KW Merger
Sub Corp., a newly-formed Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of
Prospect (“Merger Sub”) and Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. (“Kennedy-Wilson”),
which provides for the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into
Kennedy-Wilson as a result of which Kennedy-Wilson will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Prospect and outstanding shares of Kennedy-Wilson’s capital stock
will be exchanged for common stock of Prospect; and


 


WHEREAS, the approval of the
Merger is contingent upon, among other things, the affirmative vote of holders
of a majority of the outstanding common shares of Prospect issued in Prospect’s
IPO and present and eligible to vote at the special meeting called to approve
the Merger; and


 


WHEREAS, pursuant to certain
provisions in Buyer’s certificate of incorporation, a holder of shares of Buyer’s
common stock issued in the IPO may, if it votes against the Merger, demand that
Buyer convert such common shares into cash (“Conversion Rights”); and


 


WHEREAS the Merger cannot be
consummated if holders of 30% or more of Prospect common stock issued in the
IPO exercise their Conversion Rights; and


 


WHEREAS, Seller has agreed
to sell to Buyer and Buyer has agreed to purchase from Seller the common shares
set forth on the execution page of this Agreement (“Shares”) for
the purchase price per share set forth therein (“Purchase Price Per Share”)
and for the aggregate purchase price set forth therein (“Aggregate Purchase
Price”).


 


NOW, THEREFORE, in
consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth and other good and
valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties hereby agree as follows:


 

















 


1.                                       Purchase. Subject to Section 6,
Seller hereby sells to Buyer and Buyer hereby purchases from Seller at the
Closing (as defined in Section 3(c)) the Shares at the Purchase Price Per
Share, for the Aggregate Purchase Price.


 


2.                                       Agreement not
to Convert; Appointment of Proxy and Attorney-in-Fact.  In further consideration of the Aggregate
Purchase Price, Seller hereby agrees it has not and will not exercise its
Conversion Rights or, if it has already exercised its Conversion Rights, it
hereby withdraws and revokes such exercise and will execute all necessary
documents and take all actions required in furtherance of such revocation.
Seller acknowledges that the record date to vote on the proposals set forth in
the proxy statement/prospectus (the “Proxy Statement”) filed by Buyer
with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) has passed.
Accordingly, solely with respect to the vote for the Merger and the other
proposals set forth in the Proxy Statement, Seller hereby irrevocably appoints
David A. Minella and James J. Cahill and each of them each with full power of
substitution, as Seller’s proxy and attorney-in-fact, to the full extent of
Seller’s rights with respect to the Shares (and any and all other shares or
securities or rights issued or issuable in respect thereof) to vote in such
manner as each such person or his substitute shall in his sole discretion deem
proper, and to otherwise act (including without limitation acting by written consent)
with respect to all the Shares at any meeting of stockholders (whether annual
or special and whether or not an adjourned meeting) of Buyer held on or prior
to November 14, 2009. This proxy is coupled with an interest and is
irrevocable. Execution by Seller of this Agreement shall revoke, without
further action, all prior proxies granted by Seller at any time with respect to
the Shares (and such other shares or other securities) and no subsequent
proxies will be given by Seller (and if given will be deemed not to be
effective).


 


3.                                       Closing Matters.


 


(a)                                  Within one
business day of the date of this Agreement, (i) Seller shall provide Buyer
with a true and correct copy of the voting instruction form with respect to the
Shares held by Seller indicating the financial institution through which such
shares are held and the control number provided by Broadridge Financial
Solutions (or other similar service provider) regarding the voting of the
Shares or written confirmation of such information as would appear on the
voting instruction form; and (ii) Buyer shall send the notice attached as
Annex 1 hereto to Prospect’s transfer agent.


 


(b)                                 Prior to the
Closing, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer appropriate
instructions for book entry transfers of ownership of the Shares from Seller to
Buyer.


 


(c)                                  The closing of
the purchase and sale of the Shares (“Closing”) will occur on the date
on which Buyer’s trust account is liquidated after the Merger is consummated
(the “Closing Date”). At the Closing, Buyer shall pay Seller the
Aggregate Purchase Price by wire transfer from Prospect’s trust account of
immediately available funds to an account specified by Seller and Seller shall
deliver the Shares to Buyer electronically using the Depository Trust Company’s
DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian) System to an account specified by Buyer.
It shall be a condition to the obligation of Buyer on the one hand and Seller
on the other hand, to consummate the transfer of the Shares contemplated
hereunder that the other party’s representations and warranties are true and
correct on the Closing Date with the same effect as though made on such date,
unless waived in writing by the party to whom such representations and
warranties are made.


 

















 


4.                                       Representations
and Warranties of the Seller. Seller hereby represents
and warrants to Buyer on the date hereof and on the Closing that:


 


(a)                                  Sophisticated
Seller. Seller is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate
the risks and benefits attendant to the sale of Shares to Buyer.


 


(b)                                 Independent
Investigation. Seller, in making the decision to sell the Shares
to Buyer, has not relied upon any oral or written representations or assurances
from Buyer or any of its officers, directors or employees or any other representatives
or agents of Buyer. Seller has had access to all of the filings made by
Prospect with the SEC, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, in each case to the extent available publicly via the SEC’s Electronic
Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system.


 


(c)                                  Authority. This
Agreement has been validly authorized, executed and delivered by Seller and,
assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by Buyer, is a
valid and binding agreement enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject
to the general principles of equity and to bankruptcy or other laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally. The execution, delivery and
performance of this Agreement by Seller does not and will not conflict with,
violate or cause a breach of, constitute a default under, or result in a
violation of (i) any agreement, contract or instrument to which Seller is
a party which would prevent Seller from performing its obligations hereunder or
(ii) any law, statute, rule or regulation to which Seller is subject,
to the best of Seller’s knowledge.


 


(d)                                 No Legal Advice
from Buyer. Seller acknowledges that it has had the
opportunity to review this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement with Seller’s own legal counsel and investment and tax advisors.
Seller is not relying on any statements or representations of Buyer or any of
its representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect
to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by the Agreement.


 


(e)                                  Ownership of
Shares. Seller is the legal and beneficial owner of the Shares and will
transfer to Buyer on the Closing Date good and marketable title to the Shares
free and clear of any liens, claims, security interests, options, charges or
any other encumbrance whatsoever. The Seller beneficially owned all of the
Shares as of the close of the trading day on October 26, 2009 and has the
sole right to exercise conversion rights with respect to all of the Shares.


 


(f)                                    Number of
Shares. The Shares being transferred pursuant to this Agreement represent all
the common stock owned by Seller as of the date hereof.


 


(g)                                 Seller Taxes . Seller
understands that Seller (and not the Buyer) shall be responsible for any and
all tax liabilities of Seller that may arise as a result of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.


 


(h)                                 Aggregate
Purchase Price Negotiated. Seller represents that both the amount of
Shares and the Aggregate Purchase Price were negotiated figures by the parties
and that the terms and conditions by the parties of this Agreement may differ
from arrangements entered into with other holders of Buyer’s common stock.


 

















 


5.                                       Representations
and Warranties of Buyer . Buyer hereby represents to the Seller
that:


 


(a)                                  Sophisticated
Buyer. Buyer is sophisticated in financial matters and is able to evaluate
the risks and benefits attendant to the purchase of Shares from Seller.


 


(b)                                 Independent

representatives or agents for legal, tax or investment advice with respect to
this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


6.                                       Termination.

Seller. After the execution of this Agreement and prior to Closing, Seller

Waiver. Seller (i) acknowledges that Buyer may possess or have access to
