Between

 

Molycorp, Inc. (“Lender”)

 

and

 

Morgan Stanley Capital Services LLC (“Borrower”)

 

 

This AGREEMENT sets forth the terms and conditions under which Borrower may, from time to time, borrow from Lender shares of Common Stock.

 

The parties hereto agree as follows:

 

Section 1. Certain Definitions. The following capitalized terms shall have the following meanings:

 

“Business Day” means a day on which regular trading occurs in the principal trading market for the Common Stock.

 

“Cash” means any coin or currency of the United States as at the time shall be legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

 

“Clearing Organization” means The Depository Trust Company, or, if agreed to by Borrower and Lender, such other securities intermediary at which Borrower and Lender maintain accounts.

 

“Closing Price” on any day means, with respect to the Common Stock (i) if the Common Stock is listed on a national or regional U.S. securities exchange or is included in the OTC Bulletin Board Service (operated by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc.) or any successor thereto, the last reported sale price, regular way, in the principal trading session on such day on such market or service on which the Common Stock is then listed or is included, as the case may be (or, if the day of determination is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day), and (ii) if the Common Stock is not so listed or included or if the last reported sale price is not obtainable (even if the Common Stock is listed on such market or included in such service), the average of the bid prices for the Common Stock obtained from as many dealers in the Common Stock (which may include Borrower or its affiliates), but not exceeding three, as shall furnish bid prices available to Lender.

 

“Common Stock” means the shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of Lender; provided that, if the Common Stock shall be exchanged for or converted into any other security, assets and/or other consideration (including cash) as the result of any merger, consolidation, other business combination, reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization or other corporate action (including, without limitation, a reorganization in bankruptcy), then, effective upon such exchange or conversion, the amount of such other security, assets and/or other consideration received in exchange for one share of Common Stock shall be deemed to become one share of Common Stock. For purposes of the foregoing, where a share of Common Stock may be converted into or exchanged for more than a single type of consideration based upon any form of stockholder election, such consideration will be deemed to be the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election.

 

“Common Stock  Underwriting Agreement” means the Underwriting Agreement, dated as of January 24, 2013, entered into among Lender and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as representatives for the several underwriters named therein, providing for the public offering of the Common Stock.

 

“Convertible Notes” means (i) up to $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 issued by Lender and (ii) up to $22,500,000 aggregate principal amount of such securities to the extent the option to purchase such additional securities (the “Over-Allotment Option”) is exercised as set forth in the Underwriting Agreement dated as of January 24, 2013, entered into among Lender and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Goldman, Sachs & Co., as representatives for the several underwriters named therein, providing for the public offering of the Convertible Notes.

 

“Cutoff Time” shall mean 10:00 a.m. in the jurisdiction of the Clearing Organization, or such other time on a Business Day by which a transfer of Loaned Shares must be made by Borrower or Lender to the other, as shall be determined in accordance with market practice, in which case such other time will be the “Cutoff Time.”

 

“Exchange Act” means the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

2

 

“Facility Termination Date” means the earliest to occur of (i) the 3rd Business Day (as such term is defined in the Second Supplemental Indenture) immediately following the 23rd Trading Day (as such term is defined in the Second Supplemental Indenture) immediately following the date on which all Convertible Notes have been redeemed, repurchased, converted or otherwise acquired for value, (ii) the date, if any, on which all Loans hereunder are terminated and (iii) the date, if any, on which this Agreement is terminated.

 

“Lender’s Designated Account” means the securities account of Lender maintained on the books of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as securities intermediary, and with such designation as notified by the Lender to the Borrower promptly following the date hereof and in no event later than January 29, 2013.

 

“Loaned Shares” means shares of Common Stock transferred in a Loan hereunder until such Common Stock (or identical Common Stock) is transferred back to Lender hereunder; provided that, to the extent Borrower subsequently transfers to another transferee shares of Common Stock initially transferred to Borrower hereunder, “Loaned  Shares” means an equivalent number of identical shares of Common Stock. If, as the result of a stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased or decreased, then the number of outstanding Loaned Shares shall, effective as of the payment or delivery date of any such event, be proportionately increased or decreased, as the case may be. If the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be exchanged for or converted into any new or different security or securities, assets and/or other consideration, as described in the definition of “Common Stock,” such new or different security or securities, assets and/or other consideration shall, effective upon such exchange or conversion, as the case may be, be deemed to become a Loaned Share in substitution for the former Loaned Share for which such exchange is made and in the same proportions as described in the definition of “Common Stock.” For purposes of return of Loaned Shares by Borrower or purchase or sale of securities pursuant to Section 4 or 10, Borrower may return securities of the same issuer, class and quantity as the Loaned Shares as adjusted pursuant to the two preceding sentences.

 

“Maximum Number of Shares” means 7,666,666 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment as follows:

 

(a) If, as the result of a stock dividend, stock split or reverse stock split, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock is increased or decreased, the Maximum Number of Shares shall, effective as of the payment or delivery date of any such event, be proportionally increased or decreased, as the case may be.

 

(b) If on February 23, 2013, (i) the Over-Allotment Option has not been exercised, the Maximum Number of Shares shall be reduced by 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock or (ii) the Over-Allotment Option has been exercised only in part, Borrower shall determine the appropriate adjustment to the Maximum Number of Shares and the date for such adjustment or adjustments in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner; provided that, in the case of subclause (ii), absent agreement by Borrower, the Maximum Number of Shares shall in no case be reduced pursuant to this clause to a number of shares of Common Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) less than the product of (x) the then-applicable Maximum Number of Shares, and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes assuming the Over-Allotment Option has not been exercised, and the denominator of which is (A) the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding as of initial issuance, plus (B) the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes that would have been issued if the Over-Allotment Option had been exercised in full, and the date of such adjustment pursuant to subclause (ii) shall be no earlier than February 23, 2013.

 

(c) If, at any time after February 23, 2013, the Maximum Number of Shares exceeds the product of (A) the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding at such time (it being understood and agreed, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Second Supplemental Indenture, that for purposes of this clause (c), Convertible Notes surrendered for conversion by the holders thereof shall not cease to be outstanding until the day on which the Lender delivers to the relevant converting holder the consideration due upon conversion), divided by $1,000 and (B) the Conversion Rate (as defined in the Second Supplemental Indenture), Lender may so notify Borrower in writing of such fact.  Upon receipt of such notice by Borrower, effective five Business Days following such receipt, the Maximum Number of Shares shall be reduced by such excess.

 

3

 

(d) Upon the termination of any Loan pursuant to Section 4(a), the Maximum Number of Shares shall be reduced by the number of Loaned Shares surrendered by Borrower to Lender, in accordance with a direction of Borrower that Borrower will provide to Lender in connection with any such surrender of Loaned Shares; provided that if Borrower does not provide any such direction in connection with any such surrender, the Maximum Number of Shares shall be reduced by the number of Loaned Shares so surrendered; and provided  further that if the number of Loaned Shares offered and sold by Borrower in any registered public offering under the Securities Act is less than the number of shares of Common Stock constituting the Loan made in connection with such registered public offering (such difference, the “Unsold Amount”), any termination of a Loan in an amount equal to the Unsold Amount prior to the date that is 30 calendar days following the date of the Borrowing Notice (as defined below) with respect to such Loan shall not so reduce the Maximum Number of Shares.

 

“Registration Blackout Period” means (i) the period beginning at 11:59 p.m. on the fourteenth calendar day preceding the last day of each fiscal quarter of Lender and ending at 11:59 p.m. on the second Business Day following the day on which Lender’s quarterly earnings with respect to such fiscal quarter are publicly announced (or, in the case of the fourth fiscal quarter, if no quarterly earnings are announced, Lender’s annual earnings), and (ii) if, after the Final Option Purchase Date (as defined in the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement), Lender is in possession of material non-public information about Lender or the Common Stock, the disclosure of which Lender reasonably believes would not be in its best interests, and notifies Borrower of that fact, the period beginning on the day on which Lender provides such notice to Borrower and ending on the 45th Business Day thereafter; provided that the aggregate duration of such Registration Blackout Period under clause (ii) above shall not exceed 45 Business Days during the term of this Agreement.

“Securities Act” means the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Section 2. Loans Of Shares; Transfers of Loaned Shares

 

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Lender hereby agrees to make available for borrowing by Borrower shares of Common Stock up to, in the aggregate, the Maximum Number of Shares.

 

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may, from time to time, by not less than one Business Day’s written notice to Lender (a “Borrowing Notice”) initiate one or more transactions in which Lender will lend Loaned Shares to Borrower through the issuance by Lender of such Loaned Shares to Borrower upon the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Agreement (each such issuance and loan, a “Loan”); provided that Borrower may not initiate a Loan by delivering a Borrowing Notice to Lender (i) during any Registration Blackout Period or (ii) after the earlier to occur of (A) August 20, 2013 and (B) the date as of which the Maximum Number of Shares shall have been sold pursuant to the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement. Such Loan shall be confirmed through the book-entry settlement system of the Clearing Organization. The records maintained by the Clearing Organization shall constitute conclusive evidence with respect to a Loan, including the number of shares of Common Stock that are the subject of such Loan to which the applicable records relate.

 

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Borrower shall not be permitted to borrow, and may not initiate a Loan hereunder with respect to, any shares of Common Stock at any time to the extent (in the case of clause (i) below or to the extent that Borrower determines in its sole discretion (in the case of clause (ii) below) that after receipt of any shares of Common Stock in connection with such

 

4

 

Loan, (i) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 8.0% or (ii) the Share Amount would exceed the Applicable Share Limit.  The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that Borrower and each person subject to aggregation of shares of Common Stock with Borrower under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder directly or indirectly beneficially own (as defined under Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) as of such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of such day.  The “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of shares of Common Stock that a Borrower Person under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Lender that are, in each case, applicable to ownership of shares of Common Stock (the “Applicable Restrictions”) owns, beneficially owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Borrower in its reasonable discretion.  A “Borrower Person” is Borrower and any person whose ownership position would be aggregated with that of Borrower.  The “Applicable Share Limit” is, as of any day, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (A) the minimum number of shares of Common Stock that could give rise to materially adverse reporting obligations, materially adverse registration obligations or other materially adverse requirements (including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Borrower Person, or could result in an adverse effect on a Borrower Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Borrower in its reasonable discretion, minus (B) 1% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of such day.

 

(d) Lender shall transfer Loaned Shares to Borrower on or before the Cutoff Time on the date specified in the Borrowing Notice for the commencement of the relevant Loan, which date shall not be earlier than the third Business Day following the receipt by Lender of the Borrowing Notice. Delivery of the Loaned Shares to Borrower shall be made in the manner set forth under Section 11 below.

 

Section 3. Loan Fee. Borrower agrees to pay Lender a single loan fee per Loan (a “Loan Fee”) equal to $0.001 per Loaned Share included in such Loan. Such Loan Fee shall be paid by Borrower on or before the time of transfer of the Loaned Shares pursuant to Section 2(d) on a delivery-versus-payment basis through the facilities of the Clearing Organization.

 

Section 4. Loan Terminations.

 

(a) Borrower may terminate all or any portion of a Loan on any Business Day by giving written notice thereof to Lender and transferring the corresponding number of Loaned Shares to Lender no later than the third Business Day following the date of such notice, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower; provided that such termination shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make such other payments and/or deliveries required to be made by it to Lender hereunder, including any such payments and/or deliveries pursuant to Section 5 hereof.  Any such loan termination shall be effective immediately upon delivery of the Loaned Shares in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

(b) Subject to Section 10 below, all outstanding Loans, if any, shall terminate on the Facility Termination Date, and all Loaned Shares, if any, then outstanding shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the third Business Day following the Facility Termination Date; provided that such termination shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make such other payments and/or deliveries required to be made by it to Lender hereunder, including any such payments and/or deliveries pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

 

(c) Subject to Section 10 below, if a Loan is terminated upon the occurrence of a Default as set forth in Section 9, the Loaned Shares in respect of such Loan shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the third Business Day following the termination date of such Loan as provided in Section 9; provided that such termination shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make such other payments and/or deliveries required to be made by it to Lender hereunder, including any such payments and/or deliveries pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

 

5

 

(d) If at any time the aggregate number of Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement exceeds the Maximum Number of Shares, then the outstanding Loans (or portions thereof) to the extent of such excess shall immediately terminate and, subject to Section 10 below, such excess number of Loaned Shares in respect of such terminated Loans (or portions thereof) shall be delivered by Borrower to Lender, without any consideration being payable in respect thereof by Lender to Borrower, no later than the third Business Day following the first date as of which such excess exists; provided that such termination shall not relieve Borrower from the obligation to make such other payments and/or deliveries required to be made by it to Lender hereunder, including any such payments and/or deliveries pursuant to Section 5 hereof.

 

Section 5. Distributions.

 

(a) If, at any time when there are Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement, Lender pays a cash dividend or makes a cash distribution in respect of all its outstanding shares of Common Stock, Borrower shall pay to Lender (whether or not Borrower is a holder of any or all of the outstanding Loaned Shares), within three Business Days after the payment of such dividend or distribution, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the amount per share of Common Stock of such dividend or distribution, as the case may be, and (ii) the number of Loaned Shares outstanding at such time; provided that if Borrower returns any Loaned Shares to Lender following a record date for such a dividend or distribution on such Loaned Shares but prior to the payment of such dividend or distribution on such Loaned Shares, Borrower shall nonetheless pay to Lender the amount of such dividend or distribution, as the case may be, within three Business Days after the payment of such dividend or distribution.

 

(b) If, at any time when there are Loaned Shares outstanding under this Agreement, Lender makes a distribution in respect of all its outstanding shares of Common Stock (other than a distribution upon liquidation or a reorganization in bankruptcy) in property or securities, including any spin-off securities or assets, options, warrants, rights or privileges in respect of securities (other than a distribution of Common Stock, but including any spin-off securities or assets, options, warrants, rights or privileges exercisable for, convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock) (a “Non-Cash Distribution”), Borrower shall deliver to Lender in kind (whether or not Borrower is a holder of any or all of the outstanding Loaned Shares), within three Business Days after the date of such Non-Cash Distribution, the property or securities so distributed in an amount (the “Delivery Amount”) equal to the product of (i) the amount per share of Common Stock of such Non-Cash Distribution, and (ii) the number of Loaned Shares outstanding at such time; provided that if Borrower returns any Loaned Shares to Lender following a record date for such a Non-Cash Distribution on such Loaned Shares but prior to the settlement of such Non-Cash Distribution on such Loaned Shares, Borrower shall nonetheless deliver to Lender the Delivery Amount in respect of such Non-Cash Distribution within three Business Days after the settlement date of distribution.

 

Section 6. Rights in Respect of Loaned Shares.

 

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, including Borrower’s obligation to return the Loaned Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and except as otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender or Borrower and any subsequent transferee of Loaned Shares, insofar as such person is the record owner of any such Loaned Shares, such person shall have all of the incidents of ownership in respect of any such Loaned Shares, including the right to transfer the Loaned Shares to others. Borrower agrees that neither it or any of its affiliates that is the record owner of any Loaned Shares initially transferred hereunder, held for delivery to Lender or held by Borrower or its affiliates (other than any such securities that are held in the accounts of, and beneficially owned by, any unaffiliated third party, where such third party has the power to, and has, directed the vote of such securities), shall vote such Loaned Shares on any matter submitted to a vote of Lender’s stockholders.

 

Section 7. Representations and Warranties.

(i) it has full power to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into any Loans contemplated hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder;

(e) Lender represents and warrants to Borrower that, as of the date hereof, and as of the date any Loaned Shares are transferred to Borrower in respect of any Loan hereunder, Lender is not, and will not be required to register as, an “investment company” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

 

(f) Lender represents and warrants to Borrower that Lender (A) is capable of evaluating investment risks independently, both in general and with regard to all transactions and investment strategies involving a security or securities; (B) will exercise independent judgment in evaluating the recommendations of any broker-dealer or its associated persons, unless it has otherwise notified the broker-dealer in writing; and (C) has total assets of at least $50 million as of the date hereof.

The “Outstanding Borrow Percentage” as of any day is the fraction (A) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the aggregate number of Loaned Shares outstanding on such day, and (y) the aggregate number of “Loaned Shares” (as defined under the Share Lending Agreement dated as of August 17, 2012 between Lender and Borrower, the “Existing Loaned Shares”) outstanding on such day and (B) the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such day, including such Loaned Shares and Existing Loaned Shares.

(vii) Lender fails to provide any indemnity as required by Section 12; provided that Borrower may waive such Default by Lender in its sole discretion;

 

(viii) Borrower notifies Lender of its inability to or intention not to perform Borrower’s obligations hereunder or otherwise disaffirms, fails to perform, rejects or repudiates any of its obligations hereunder; or

 

(ix) any representation made by Borrower under this Agreement in connection with any Loan or Loans hereunder shall be incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or Borrower fails to comply in any material respect with any of its covenants under this Agreement.

 

Section 10. Right to Extend; Lender’s Remedies.

 

(a) Except to the extent a Loan is terminated pursuant to Section 4(c) as a result of a Default by Borrower, Borrower may, following the termination of any Loan pursuant to Section 4, delay the date on which the related Loan Shares are due to Lender (the “Settlement Due Date”, as so delayed to the extent applicable), with respect to some or all (as the case may be) of such Loaned Shares, if Borrower reasonably determines in good faith based on the advice of counsel that such extension with respect to some or all (as the case may be) of such Loan Shares is reasonably necessary to enable Borrower (or any of its affiliates) to effect purchases of Common Stock related to the delivery of Loan Shares due to Lender in connection with this Agreement in a manner that would be in compliance with legal and regulatory requirements (i) applicable to Borrower or such affiliates in purchasing such shares of Common Stock or (ii) if Borrower were deemed to be Lender or an affiliated purchaser of Lender, that would be applicable to Lender in purchasing such shares of Common Stock.

 

(b) If, upon the termination of any Loan as a result of a Default by Borrower under Section 9 or pursuant to Section 4(c) on any Settlement Due Date, the purchase of Common Stock in an amount equal to all or any portion of the Loaned Shares to be delivered to Lender by Borrower in accordance with Section 4(c) of this Agreement (i) shall be prohibited by any law, rules or regulation of any governmental authority to which it is or would be subject, (ii) shall violate, or would upon such purchase reasonably likely violate, any order or prohibition of any court, tribunal or other governmental authority, (iii) shall require the prior consent of any court, tribunal or governmental authority prior to any such repurchase, (iv) would subject Borrower, based on the advice of counsel to the Borrower, to any liability or potential liability under any applicable federal securities laws (including, without limitation, Section 16 of the Exchange Act), or (v) shall be commercially impracticable in the time period required by Section 4(c), in the commercially reasonable judgment of Borrower as a result of a demonstrable legal or regulatory impediment (including

regulations of self-regulatory organizations) to such purchases (each of (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v), a “Legal Obstacle”), then, in each case, Borrower shall immediately notify Lender of the Legal Obstacle and the basis therefor, whereupon Borrower’s obligations under Section 4(c) shall be suspended until such time as no Legal Obstacle with respect to such obligations shall exist (a “Repayment Suspension”). Following the occurrence of and during the continuation of any Repayment Suspension, Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove or cure the Legal Obstacle as promptly as reasonably practicable, including, in the case of clause (iii), Borrower using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the prior consent of the relevant court, tribunal or governmental authority in order to make any such repurchase; provided that (except in circumstances where the Legal Obstacle resulted from the failure by Borrower to comply with applicable securities laws or regulations) Lender shall promptly reimburse all reasonable costs and expenses (including of legal counsel to Borrower) incurred or, at Borrower’s election, provide reasonably adequate surety or guarantee for any such costs and expenses that may be incurred by Borrower, in each case, in removing or curing such Legal Obstacle; and provided  further that, if Borrower cannot remove or cure the Legal Obstacle within five Business Days, then Lender shall have the right at any time thereafter to notify Borrower of its election that Borrower pay to Lender, in lieu of the delivery of Loaned Shares in accordance with Section 4(c), an amount in immediately available funds (the “Replacement Cash”) equal to the product of (A) the average Closing Price (the “Average Closing Price”) during the ten consecutive Business Day period ending on the Business Day immediately preceding the date Borrower makes such payment, multiplied by (B) the number of Loaned Shares then outstanding.

 

(c) If Borrower shall fail to pay the Replacement Cash to Lender in accordance with Section 10(b) above, then, in addition to any other remedies available to Lender under this Agreement or under applicable law, Lender shall have the right (upon prior written notice to Borrower) to purchase a like number of Loaned Shares (“Replacement Shares”) in the principal market for such securities in a commercially reasonable manner. To the extent Lender shall exercise such right, Borrower’s obligation to return a like number of Loaned Shares or to pay the Replacement Cash, as applicable, shall terminate, and Borrower shall be liable to Lender for the purchase price of Replacement Shares (plus all other amounts, if any, due to Lender hereunder), all of which shall be due and payable within three Business Days of notice to Borrower by Lender of the aggregate purchase price of the Replacement Shares. The purchase price of Replacement Shares purchased under this Section 10(c) shall include broker’s fees and commissions and all other reasonable costs, fees and expenses related to such purchase.

 

Section 11. Transfers.

 

(a) All transfers of Loaned Shares to Borrower hereunder shall be made by the crediting by a Clearing Organization of such Loaned Shares to Borrower’s “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC) designated in the relevant Borrowing Notice maintained with such Clearing Organization. All transfers of Loaned Shares to Lender hereunder shall be made by the crediting of such Loaned Shares to Lender’s Designated Account. In every transfer of “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102 of the UCC) hereunder, the transferor shall take all steps necessary (a) to effect a delivery to the transferee under Section 8-301 of the UCC, or to cause the creation of a security entitlement in favor of the transferee under Section 8-501 of the UCC, (b) to enable the transferee to obtain “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the UCC), and (c) to provide the transferee with comparable rights under any applicable foreign law or regulation that is applicable to such transfer.

 

(b) All transfers of cash hereunder to Borrower or Lender shall be by wire transfer in immediately available, freely transferable funds.

 

(c) A transfer of securities or cash may be effected under this Section 11 on any day except (i) a day on which the transferee is closed for business at its address set forth in Section 16 or (ii) a day on which a Clearing Organization or wire transfer system is closed, if the facilities of such Clearing Organization or wire transfer system are required to effect such transfer, in which case under clause (i) or (ii), such transfer shall be made on the immediately following day on which such exceptions are not in effect.

 

(d) To the extent permitted by law, neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided that Borrower may, without the consent of Lender,

 

10

 

transfer or assign all or any part of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any of Borrower’s affiliates (i)(x) if such a transfer is required by or under any law, rule, regulation or regulatory order or (y) if, absent such transfer, Borrower or any of its affiliates would incur a materially increased cost or other materially increased expense (compared to such cost or expense as of the date hereof) or would experience any other material adverse effect, in either the case of (x) or (y), upon the advice to Borrower of counsel) and (ii) so long as, in the event Borrower is able to transfer to more than one affiliate in compliance with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and regulatory orders and in a manner that would not result in Borrower or any of its affiliates incurring a materially increased cost or other materially increased expense (compared to such cost or expense as of the date hereof) nor experiencing any other material adverse effect, such transfer is to the affiliate of Borrower that results in the least adverse effect to Lender (determined by Borrower in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner after consultation with Lender).  Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section 11(d) shall be null and void

 

Section 12. Indemnities.

 

(a) Lender hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Borrower and its affiliates and its former, present and future directors, officers, employees from and against any and all liabilities, judgments, claims, settlements, losses, damages and other expenses (including, without limitation, direct losses relating to Borrower’s market activities as a consequence of becoming subject to Section 16(b) under the Exchange Act, and including, without limitation, any forbearance from market activities or cessation of market activities and any losses in connection therewith or with respect to this Agreement) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred or suffered by any such person or entity directly arising from (i) any breach by Lender of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 7 or (ii) any breach by Lender of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement; provided, however, that Lender shall not be liable for any Losses arising from (i) any breach by Borrower of any of its representations or warranties contained in Section 7 or (ii) any breach by Borrower of any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement.

 

(b) In case any claim or litigation which might give rise to any obligation of Lender under this Section 12 (each an “Indemnifying Party”) shall come to the attention of the party seeking indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”), the Indemnified Party shall within five Business Days notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the existence and amount thereof; provided that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not adversely affect the right of the Indemnified Party to indemnification under this Agreement, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby. The Indemnifying Party shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing if it accepts such claim or litigation as being within its indemnification obligations under this Section 12. Such response shall be delivered no later than 45 days after the initial notification from the Indemnified Party; provided that, if the Indemnifying Party reasonably cannot respond to such notice within 45 days, the Indemnifying Party shall respond to the Indemnified Party as soon thereafter as reasonably possible.

 

(c) An Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, if (i) in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party such claim can properly be resolved by money damages alone and the Indemnifying Party has the financial resources to pay such damages and (ii) the Indemnifying Party admits that this indemnity fully covers the claim or litigation, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to direct the defense of any claim at its expense, but such defense shall be conducted by legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. An Indemnified Party shall not make any settlement of any claim or litigation under this Section 12 without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party.  Nothing in this clause (c) shall be deemed to limit, or be a waiver of either party in respect of, this Section 12.

 

Section 13. Termination Of Agreement.

 

(a) This Agreement may be terminated (i) at any time by the written agreement of Lender and Borrower or (ii) by Lender or Borrower upon the occurrence of a Default by the other party.

 

11

 

(b) Unless otherwise agreed by Borrower and Lender, the provisions of Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

Section 14. Registration Provisions. If, following the initial Loan hereunder and registration of the initial Loaned Shares in respect of such Loan, any subsequent Loan and public sale of the Loaned Shares in respect of such subsequent Loan, based upon reasonable advice of counsel to Borrower, would require registration under the Securities Act, Lender agrees to register such sale of shares of Common Stock as and to the extent provided in the Common Stock Underwriting Agreement.

 

Section 15. Amendments.  No amendment or modification in respect of this Agreement shall be effective unless it shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto.

 

Section 16. Notices.

1.         Grant of Restricted Shares.  Effective as of the Grant Date, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (“Committee”) has granted to Grantee the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (“Restricted Shares”) as specified in the Notice pursuant to the Bank of Hawaii Corporation 2004 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended (“Plan”).  The grant of Restricted Shares evidenced by this Agreement is made subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and of this Agreement.  In case of conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of the Plan shall control.  Certain terms defined in the Plan are used in this Agreement with the meanings given to them in the Plan.

 

2.         Restrictions During Period of Restriction.  Restricted Shares shall be subject to forfeiture by Grantee until the “Restriction Period” terminates as to such Restricted Shares and the Restricted Shares shall vest in Grantee (up to the maximum shares granted under this Agreement) in accordance with the terms of the Plan (including, but not limited to, conditions and restrictions imposed pursuant to Section 8.4 of the Plan) and this Agreement.

 

a.         Restriction Period.  For purposes of this Agreement and with respect to a designated block of Restricted Shares granted under this Agreement, the term “Restriction Period” shall mean the period that commences on the Grant Date and terminates following achievement of the service and financial performance objectives applicable to the block of Restricted Shares as described below.

 

(1)        Component Conditioned on Service

 

One-third of the total Restricted Shares granted hereunder shall be subject to the termination of the Restriction Period under this Section 2.a(1) that is conditioned on service and the achievement of positive net income (which one-third block is referred to hereunder as the “Service Shares”) as follows:

 

(a)        On March 3, 2014, with respect to one-third of the Service Shares provided that (I) Grantee remains an Employee through March 3, 2014, and (II) the Committee shall have certified with respect to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, that the Company has achieved positive net income as publicly announced by the Company in its earnings release for that period (“Net Income Performance Objective”).

One-third of the total Restricted Shares granted hereunder shall be subject to the termination of the Restriction Period under this Section 2.a(2) that is conditioned on service and the achievement of financial performance criteria at no less than the second-tier peer group level (which one-third block is referred to hereunder as the “First-Tier Shares”) as follows:

 

(a)        On March 3, 2014 with respect to one-third of the First-Tier Shares provided that (I) Grantee remains an Employee through March 3, 2014, and (II) the Committee shall have certified with respect to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, that the Company’s “Return on Assets”, or “Return on Equity”, or “Stock Price to Book Ratio v. Peers” falls within the top two quartiles of the 2013 Regional Bank Index or the 2013 U.S. Bank Index that has been designated by the Committee on or before the Grant Date and as the same may be revised from time to time to delete organizations that cease to be publicly-held (“First-Tier Performance Objective”).

 

For purposes of this Agreement the terms “Return on Assets”, “Return on Equity”, and “Stock Price to Book Ratio vs. Peers” shall mean such terms as determined and reported with respect to the Company for purposes of placement under designated 2013 Regional Bank Index and the 2013 U.S. Bank Index.

2.

 

(a)        On March 3, 2014, with respect to one-third of the Second-Tier Shares provided that (I) Grantee remains an Employee through March 3, 2014, and (II) the Committee shall have certified with respect to the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, that the Company’s “Return on Assets”, or “Return on Equity”, or “Stock Price to Book Ratio vs. Peers” falls within the top quartile of the 2013 Regional Bank Index or the 2013 U.S. Bank Index that has been designated by the Committee on or before the Grant Date and as the same may be revised from time to time to delete organizations that cease to be publicly-held (“Second-Tier Performance Objective”).

b.         Committee Determinations. This Agreement shall be interpreted in a manner consistent with the requirements of the performance-based compensation exception under Code Section 162(m).  The Committee shall endeavor to certify whether the service and financial performance objectives described in Section 2.a of this Agreement have been satisfied on or prior to the scheduled time of vesting as specified in Section 2.a.  In the event that the Committee has not done so, it shall make such determination as soon thereafter as possible and, if the satisfaction of the service and financial performance objectives have been certified, the Restricted Shares subject to vesting shall vest at the time of the making of such certification.

 

c.         Other Termination of Restriction Period.  The Restriction Period shall terminate and all theretofore unvested and unforfeited Restricted Shares shall vest in Grantee upon the earliest to occur of the following:  (i) the death of Grantee; (ii) the Grantee is no longer an Employee due to “disability” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A and the regulations promulgated thereunder; or (iii) the occurrence of a “Change in Control” in accordance with Article 15 of the Plan.

 

d.         Forfeiture of Unvested Restricted Shares.  Each block of Restricted Shares that remains unvested and unforfeited shall be forfeited and transferred to the Company upon the first to occur of: (i) except as provided in Section 2.c of this Agreement, Grantee’s ceasing to be an Employee for any reason, whether voluntary or involuntary; and (ii) the making of the determination that the financial performance objective applicable to the block of Restricted Shares has not been satisfied for such block under Section 2.a of this Agreement.  Grantee’s employment shall not be treated as  terminated in the case of a transfer of employment within the Company and its subsidiaries or in the case of sick leave and other approved leaves of absence.

 

3.

 

e.         Transfer Restriction.  During the Period of Restriction for a particular Restricted Share, such Restricted Share shall be subject to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 8.3 of the Plan.

 

3.         Issuance of Shares; Registration; Withholding Taxes.  Restricted Shares shall be issued in Grantee’s name, shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 8.5 of the Plan (and such other restrictive legends as are required or deemed advisable by the Company under the provisions of any applicable law), and shall be held by the Company until all restrictions lapse or such shares are forfeited as provided herein.  The Restricted Shares as to which the Restriction Period has terminated shall be delivered to Grantee upon such termination.  The Company may postpone the issuance or delivery of the Shares until (a) the completion of registration or other qualification of such Shares or transaction under any state or federal law, rule or regulation, or any listing on any securities exchange, as the Company shall determine to be necessary or desirable; (b) the receipt by the Company of such written representations or other documentation as the Company deems necessary to establish compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including applicable federal and state securities laws and listing requirements, if any; and (c) the payment to the Company in accordance with Article 17 of the Plan of any amount required by the Company to satisfy any federal, state or other governmental withholding tax requirements related to the issuance or delivery of the Shares.  Grantee shall comply with any and all legal requirements relating to Grantee’s resale or other disposition of any Shares acquired under this Agreement.

 

4.         Share Adjustments.  The number and kind of Restricted Shares or other property subject to this Agreement shall be subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 4.2 of the Plan.

 

5.         Rights as Shareholder.  Unless otherwise provided herein, Grantee shall be entitled to all of the rights of a shareholder with respect to the Restricted Shares, including the right to vote such Shares and to receive dividends and other distributions (not including share adjustments as described in Section 4 above) payable with respect to such Shares from and after the Grant Date.  Grantee’s rights as a shareholder shall terminate with respect to any Restricted Shares forfeited by Grantee.

 

6.         Amendment.  This Agreement may be amended by the Committee at any time based on its determination that the amendment is necessary or advisable in light of any addition to, or change in, the Code or regulations issued thereunder or any federal or state securities law or other law or regulation, or the Plan, or based on any discretionary authority of the Committee under the Plan.  Unless necessary or advisable due to a change in law, any amendment to this Agreement which has a material adverse effect on the interest of Grantee under this Agreement shall be adopted only with the consent of Grantee.

 

7.         Section 83(b) Election.  Grantee shall promptly deliver to the Company a copy of any election filed by Grantee in respect of the Restricted Shares pursuant to Code Section 83(b).

Furthermore, such notice or other communication shall be deemed duly given when transmitted electronically to Grantee at Grantee’s electronic mail address shown on the Company records or, to the extent that Grantee is an active employee, through the Company’s intranet.

 

9.         Miscellaneous.  This Agreement and the Plan set forth the final and entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, which shall be governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Hawaii, to the extent not governed by federal law.
