SLM Corporation 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan

2016 Independent Director Restricted Stock Agreement
Pursuant to the terms and conditions of the SLM Corporation 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), SLM Corporation (the “Corporation”) hereby grants to _______________(the “Grantee”) _____ shares of common stock of the Corporation, par value $0.20 (the “Restricted Stock”), on June 23, 2016 (the “Grant Date”) subject to the terms and conditions below.  All capitalized terms used herein that are not defined shall have the meanings as set forth in the Plan. 
100 percent of the Restricted Stock is subject to a risk of forfeiture and is non-transferable on the Grant Date. 
Upon the Corporation’s 2017 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Vesting Event”), 100 percent of the Restricted Stock will vest and become transferable unless vested earlier as set forth below. 
The Restricted Stock will vest and become transferable prior to the Vesting Event upon any of the following events: (i) the Grantee’s death or Disability or (ii) upon a Change in Control. 
100 percent of the Restricted Stock will be forfeited if the Grantee ceases to be a director of the Corporation’s Board of Directors prior to the Vesting Event for any reason other than death, Disability (as defined below) or a Change in Control. 
The Restricted Stock will be held in an account in the Grantee’s name at the Corporation’s transfer agent, currently Computershare.  The Grantee is entitled to vote the shares of Restricted Stock. 
Dividends declared on unvested shares of Restricted Stock will not be paid currently.  Instead, amounts equal to such dividends will be credited to an account established on behalf of the Grantee, and such amounts will be deemed to be invested in additional shares of the Corporation’s common stock (“Dividend Equivalents”).  Such Dividend Equivalents will be subject to the same vesting schedule to which the Restricted Stock is subject.  At the time that the underlying Restricted Stock vests, the amount of Dividend Equivalents allocable to such Restricted Stock will also vest and will be settled in shares of the Corporation’s common stock (provided that any fractional share amount shall be paid in cash).  Dividend Equivalents declared on unvested shares of Restricted Stock are not subject to income tax until vesting, at which time they are taxed as ordinary income. 
The Corporation may impose such restrictions, conditions or limitations as it determines appropriate as to the timing and manner of any transfer or sale by the Grantee of any shares of Common Stock, including without limitation (a) restrictions under an insider trading policy and (b) restrictions that may be necessary in the absence of an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, covering the shares of the Corporation’s common stock.  The sale of the shares must also comply with other applicable laws and regulations governing the sale of such shares. 

As an essential term of this award, the Grantee consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of personal data as described herein for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Grantee’s participation in the Plan.  By accepting this award, the Grantee acknowledges that the Corporation holds certain personal information about the Grantee, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security number or other identification number, salary, tax rates and amounts, nationality, job title, any shares of stock held in the Corporation, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding, for the purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Plan (“Data”).  The Grantee acknowledges that Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in jurisdictions that may have different data privacy laws and protections, and the Grantee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Grantee or the Corporation may elect to deposit any shares of the Corporation’s common stock.  The Grantee acknowledges that Data may be held to implement, administer and manage the Grantee’s participation in the Plan as determined by the Corporation, and that the Grantee may request additional information about the storage and processing of Data, require any necessary amendments to Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, provided however, that refusing or withdrawing the Grantee’s consent may adversely affect the Grantee’s ability to participate in the Plan. 
The Corporation may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to any awards granted under the Plan by electronic means or to request Grantee’s consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means.  Grantee hereby consents to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Corporation or another third party designated by the Corporation, and such consent shall remain in effect throughout Grantee’s term of service with the Corporation and thereafter until withdrawn in writing by Grantee.  
“Disability” means the absence of the Grantee from the Corporation’s Board of Directors duties for 180 consecutive days as a result of incapacity due to mental or physical illness which is determined to be total and permanent by a physician selected by the Corporation or its insurers and reasonably acceptable to the Grantee or the Grantee’s legal representative.
The Grantee is deemed to accept this award of Restricted Stock under this Agreement and to agree that such award is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan unless the Grantee provides the Corporation written notification of the Grantee’s rejection of this award of Restricted Stock not later than 30 days after the Grantee’s receipt of notice of the posting of this Agreement on-line or through electronic means (in which case such award will be forfeited and the Grantee shall have no further right or interest therein as of such date).Exhibit 10.1

As of the date hereof and at all times throughout the term of the Loans, including after giving effect to any Transfers permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents, (a) none of the funds or other assets of Borrower, Leasehold Holder, Holdco or Recourse Guarantor constitute property of, or are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any Embargoed Person; (b) no Embargoed Person has any interest of any nature whatsoever in Borrower, Leasehold Holder, Holdco or Recourse Guarantor, as applicable, with the result that the investment in Borrower, Leasehold Holder, Holdco or Recourse Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or any of the Loans is in violation of law; and (c) none of the funds of Borrower, Leasehold Holder, Holdco or Recourse Guarantor, as applicable, have been derived from any unlawful activity with the result that the investment in Borrower, Leasehold Holder, Holdco or Recourse Guarantor, as applicable (whether directly or indirectly), is prohibited by law or the Loans are in violation of law.  None of Borrower, Leasehold Holder, Holdco or Recourse Guarantor is (or will be) a Person with whom Administrative Agent, or any Lender is restricted from doing business under OFAC regulations (including those persons named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001 #13224 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and shall not engage in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be

associated with such Persons.  In addition, to help the U.S. Government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, the U.S.A.

(f)            Article X of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following as Section 10.24 thereof:

 

“10.24    Release of Cactus Assemblage.

 

(a) Subject to satisfaction of each of the conditions set forth below with respect to Cactus Assemblage, Administrative Agent shall release the Cactus Assemblage from the Lien of the Security Instruments (the “Cactus Assemblage Release”):

 

(1)           Borrower delivers a written notice (a “Release Notice”) to Administrative Agent of its desire to effect the Cactus Assemblage Release no later than five (5) Business Days, prior to the date on which the Cactus Assemblage Release shall occur (the “Release Date”).  A Release Notice may be rescinded by Borrower upon delivery of written notice to Administrative Agent no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Release Date specified in the Release Notice, provided that Borrower shall be responsible for the actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with the rescission of such Release Notice.

 

10

 

(2)           Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the Voluntary Prepayment Release Price or the Property Sale Release Price, as applicable; provided, however, that in the event the Borrower elects to pay the Voluntary Prepayment Release Price hereunder, then to the extent the Cactus Assemblage is sold thereafter and the net proceeds (after customary and reasonable third-party sale cost deductions) are in excess of Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000), Borrower may retain the first Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000) of such net proceeds and shall promptly pay to Administrative Agent the entire portion of such net proceeds that is over Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000) as a prepayment of the Loan.

 

(3)           Borrower shall have paid to Administrative Agent the Modification Fee.

 

(4)           Borrower shall submit to Administrative Agent not less than ten (10) Days prior to the Release Date (which must be on a Business Day) an Officer’s Certificate certifying that (i) the release to be effected will not violate the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the release to be effected will not impair or otherwise adversely affect the Lien, security interests and other rights of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents not being released (or as to the Collateral subject to the Loan Documents not being released) and (iii) the condition set forth in Section 10.24(5) below is satisfied in connection with the Cactus Assemblage Release (together with calculations and supporting documentation demonstrating the same in reasonable detail).

 

(5)           Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, one or more of the following to Administrative Agent:  (i) cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of $40,000,000.00 which amount shall at Borrower’s election by written notice to Administrative Agent delivered concurrently with such amount, either (A) be applied as a voluntary prepayment by Borrower of the Loan; or (B) be held by Administrative Agent in a reserve as additional collateral for the Loan and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, applied by Administrative Agent in reduction of the Loan (and Borrower agrees, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to promptly execute such other documentation as Administrative Agent may request to evidence Administrative Agent’s security interest in such reserve funds) , (ii) a letter of credit in form and substance and from an institution, in each case, reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and Required Lenders in the amount of $40,000,000.00, or (iii) a guaranty in form and substance, and from a guarantor, in each case reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, of an amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan equal to $40,000,000.00.  For the avoidance of doubt, the amounts held in reserve pursuant to clause (i)(B) above, the face amount of the letter of credit pursuant to clause (ii) above and the guaranteed amount pursuant to clause (iii) above shall each be deemed to reduce for LTV Ratio testing purposes only (and for no other purpose), on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan.

 

11

 

(6)           No Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing on the date on which Borrower delivers the Release Notice and on the Release Date.

 

(7)           The Release Date shall have occurred on or prior to June 16, 2017.

 

(8)           Borrower executes and delivers such other instruments, certificates, opinions of counsel with respect to the enforceability of any amendments to any of the Loan Documents, and documentation as Administrative Agent and/or the Rating Agencies shall reasonably request in order to preserve, confirm or secure the Liens and security granted to Administrative Agent by the Loan Documents, including any amendments, modifications or supplements to any of the Loan Documents and partial release endorsements to the existing Title Policies (if requested by Administrative Agent).

 

(9)           Borrower shall pay for any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with any proposed Cactus Assemblage Release, including Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and all title insurance premiums for any endorsements (or reasonable substitutes for such endorsements) to any existing Title Policies required by Administrative Agent in connection with such proposed release.

 

(10)         Prior to the Release Date, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent evidence reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent that all amounts owing by Borrower to any parties in connection with the transaction relating to the proposed Cactus Assemblage Release have been paid in full, or will simultaneously be paid in full on the Release Date or adequate reserves therefor are established by Borrower in cash with respect to contingent or other liabilities that may arise out of such transaction and for which Borrower is not adequately indemnified or insured against as reasonably determined by Administrative Agent.

 

(b) On or following the sixtieth (60) day following the Release Date, Administrative Agent shall order an updated “as is” FIRREA-compliant appraisal of the Mortgaged Property taking into account the Cactus Assemblage Release (which shall be ordered by Administrative Agent at the sole cost and expense of Borrower) (“LTV Appraisal”).  On the date which is the later of (i) ninety (90) days following the Release Date, or (ii) five (5) Business Days following Administrative Agent’s and Required Lender’s approval of an LTV Appraisal (the “Approved LTV Appraisal”) and written notification to Borrower of the LTV Ratio based on the Approved LTV Appraisal of the Mortgaged Property (taking into account the Cactus Assemblage Release and a $40,000,000.00 deemed reduction in the outstanding principal amount of the Loan as a result of Borrower’s delivery of any of the items set forth in Section 10.24(a)(5)(i)(B), (ii) or (iii) above) (the “Approved LTV Ratio”), either:

 

12

 

(i) if the Approved LTV Ratio is greater than fifty percent (50%), then within five (5) Business Days following receipt of notice from Administrative Agent of the same, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, one or more of the following to Administrative Agent:  (A) cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount (the “Additional LTV Prepayment Amount”) sufficient to reduce the Approved LTV Ratio to fifty percent (50%), which amount shall at Borrower’s election by written notice to Administrative Agent delivered concurrently with such amount, either (I)  be applied as a voluntary prepayment by Borrower of the Loan; or (II) be held by Administrative Agent in a reserve as additional collateral for the Loan and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, applied by Administrative Agent in reduction of the Loan (and Borrower agrees, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to promptly execute such other documentation as Administrative Agent may request to evidence Administrative Agent’s security interest in such reserve funds) , (B) a letter of credit in form and substance and from an institution, in each case, reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and Required Lenders in the Additional LTV Prepayment Amount, or (C) an amended and restated guaranty in form and substance the same as, and from the guarantor which delivered, the guaranty on the Release Date and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, of an amount of the outstanding principal balance of the Loan equal to the sum of $40,000,000.00 plus the Additional LTV Prepayment Amount; or

 

(ii) if the Approved LTV Ratio is equal to or less than fifty percent (50%), then (A) if Borrower delivered cash pursuant to Section 10.24(a)(5)(i)(A) above on the Release Date as a voluntary prepayment of the Loan, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall have no obligation to re-loan or return any portion of such cash and the Loan shall remain repaid, (B) if Borrower delivered cash pursuant to Section 10.24(a)(5)(i)(B) above into reserve on the Release Date, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall, within five (5) Business Days following approval of the Approved LTV Appraisal, return all or such portion of such reserved amounts such that the Approved LTV Ratio taking into account the return of such reserved amounts for Approved LTV Ratio testing purposes only equals fifty percent (50%), (C) if Borrower delivered, or caused to be delivered, a letter of credit pursuant to Section 10.24(a)(5)(ii) above on the Release Date, Borrower shall be entitled to deliver a letter of credit satisfying the terms of Section 10.24(a)(5)(ii) in a reduced amount such that the Approved LTV Ratio taking into account the amount of such reduced letter of credit for Approved LTV Ratio testing purposes only equals fifty percent (50)%, and (C) if Borrower delivered, or caused to be delivered a guaranty pursuant to Section 10.24(a)(5)(iii) above on the Release Date, Borrower shall be entitled to deliver an amended and restated guaranty in form and substance the same as, and from same guarantor which delivered, the guaranty on the Release Date, and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and Required Lenders, which amended and restated guaranty shall be of a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the Loan equal to such amount which would cause the Approved LTV Ratio taking into account the amount guaranteed by such amended and restated guaranty for testing purposes only to equal fifty percent (50)%.

 

13

 

(c) Administrative Agent and Lenders hereby consent to the delivery of the guaranties set forth in Sections 10.24(a)(5)(iii), (b)(i)(C) or (b)(ii)(C) above by PropCo so long as as of the date of delivery of the applicable guaranty, PropCo is then in compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 10.08 of the PropCo Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) (the “Financial Covenants”) and there are no then-existing PropCo Events of Default (as hereinafter defined) under the PropCo Credit Agreement.   In the event at any time while a guaranty by PropCo is outstanding, PropCo no longer satisfies the Financial Covenants under the PropCo Credit Agreement or a PropCo Event of Default occurs under the PropCo Credit Agreement, then the same shall be an Event of Default hereunder unless either (i) the same is cured by PropCo to Administrative Agent’s and Required Lenders’ reasonable satisfaction within ninety (90) days from PropCo’s receipt of notice of the same, or (ii) Borrower delivers, or causes to be delivered either (A)  a new guaranty in form and substance the same as the applicable guaranty from PropCo from a guarantor reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, (B) cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of the amount guaranteed in the applicable guaranty from PropCo,  which amount shall at Borrower’s election by written notice to Administrative Agent delivered concurrently with such amount, either (I) be applied as a voluntary prepayment by Borrower of the Loan; or (II) be held by Administrative Agent in a reserve as additional collateral for the Loan and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, applied by Administrative Agent in reduction of the Loan (and Borrower agrees, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, to promptly execute such other documentation as Administrative Agent may request to evidence Administrative Agent’s security interest in such reserve funds), or (C) a letter of credit in form and substance and from an institution, in each case, reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent and Required Lenders in the amount of the amount guaranteed in the applicable guaranty from PropCo.  In the event the PropCo Credit Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever following the Modification Closing Date, for the purposes of this clause (c) the Financial Covenants shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect in accordance with the PropCo Credit Agreement as in effect as of the Modification Closing Date (as modified only by such amendments and modifications thereto as have been approved by Administrative Agent and Required Lenders in the their sole discretion).

 

(d) At least five (5) Business Days prior to the delivery of any guaranty by PropCo under this Section 10.24, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, such financial information, reports, documents and other information with respect to PropCo as are reasonably necessary for Administrative Agent to determine whether PropCo is in compliance with the Financial Covenants.  During such time as a guaranty is outstanding from PropCo, Borrower shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Administrative Agent each of the financial statements and other deliveries with respect to PropCo as are required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent (as defined in the PropCo Credit Agreement) under Section 9.04 of the PropCo Credit Agreement as in effect as of the Modification Closing Date (as modified only by such amendments and modifications thereto as have been approved by Administrative Agent and Required Lenders in the their sole discretion).  In the event the PropCo Credit Agreement is terminated, Borrower shall continue to make, or cause to be made, the deliveries required under this clause (d) for so long as the applicable guaranty remains in effect, as if the PropCo Credit Agreement remained in full force and effect.
