Section 3.05 hereof.
2.04 Loss or Destruction of
Security . Upon receipt by the Bank of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any Security, and in the case of loss,
theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it,
or in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation
thereof, the Bank, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver,
in lieu thereof, a new Security, dated and bearing interest from
the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Security or dated the date of such
lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Security if no interest shall
have been paid thereon.
2.05 Method of Payment on
Securities . So long as a Purchaser or a Purchaser’s
nominee shall be the Holder of any Security, the Bank shall pay all
sums becoming due on such Security for principal and interest by
the method and at the address specified for such purpose below
Purchaser’s name in Schedule 1 , or by such other
method or at such other address as Purchaser shall have from time
to time specified to the Bank in writing for such purpose, without
the presentation or surrender of such Security or the making of any
notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Bank made
concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or
prepayment in full of any Security, Purchaser shall surrender such
Security for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such
request, to the Bank at its principal executive office. Prior to
any permitted sale, transfer or other disposition of any Security
held by a Purchaser or a Purchaser’s nominee, Purchaser
shall, at Purchaser’s election, either endorse thereon the
amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which
interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Security to the
Bank in exchange for a new Security or Securities pursuant to
Section 2.03 .
2.06 Prepayment of Securities
.
(a) At
any time and from time to time after the fifth anniversary of the
date of issuance of the Securities but not prior thereto, the Bank
may (subject to the prior approval of the applicable Federal
Banking Regulator), upon not less than seven Business Days’
notice to Purchasers, prepay, without premium or penalty thereon,
the unpaid principal amount of the Securities, in whole or in part,
together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such
prepayment on the principal amount prepaid; provided that each
partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of not
less than $250,000.
(b) Each
partial prepayment of the Securities shall be allocated (in
integral multiples of $1,000) to all Securities at the time
outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the
respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called
for prepayment, with adjustments to the extent applicable to
compensate for any prior prepayments not made exactly in such
proportion; provided, however, that if as a result of such
allocation, any Security held by an Holder would be reduced to an
amount of less than $1,000,000, the Bank shall, at the request of
such Holder, redeem the balance of such Security.
12
(c) In
the case of each prepayment of Securities pursuant to this
Section 2.08 , the principal amount of each Security to
be so prepaid or repurchased shall mature and become due and
payable on the date fixed for such prepayment or repurchase,
together with interest on such principal amount to be so prepaid
accrued to such date. From and after such date, unless the Bank
shall fail to pay such principal amount to be so prepaid when so
due and payable, together with the interest, as aforesaid, interest
on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Security paid
or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Bank and canceled
and shall not be reissued, and no Security shall be issued in lieu
of any prepaid or repurchased principal amount of any
Security.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 2.06 , the
Securities may not be redeemed or prepaid at the option of the Bank
prior to the Maturity pursuant to this Section 2.06
without the prior written consent of the applicable Federal Banking
Regulator if the Bank is undercapitalized, significantly
undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized as described in 12
C.F.R. Section 565.4(b), fails to meet its regulatory capital
requirements under 12 C.F.R. Part 567, or, if after giving
effect to such repayment, the Bank would fail to meet any of such
standards or if such approval is otherwise required by the capital
regulations of the applicable Federal Banking Regulator. The Bank
shall apply to the OTS for any such required prior written
consent.
2.07 Acquisition by Bank of
Securities . The Bank shall not purchase, redeem, prepay or
otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding
Securities except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and the Securities. The Bank shall promptly cancel all Securities
acquired by it pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of
Securities pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no
Securities may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such
Securities.
2.08 Securities Subordinate to
Senior Debt .
(a) The
Bank shall not pay the principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest on, the Securities and may not repurchase, redeem or
otherwise retire any Securities if any principal, premium or
interest in respect of Senior Debt is not paid when due or within
any applicable grace period (including at maturity) or any other
default on Senior Debt occurs and the maturity of such Senior Debt
is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case,
the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has
been rescinded or the payment due in respect of such Senior Debt
has been paid in full in cash. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, during the continuance of any default with respect
to any Senior Debt pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be
accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice
as may be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration
of any applicable grace periods, the Bank shall not make payments
on the Securities for a period (a “ Payment Blockage
Period ”) commencing upon the receipt by the Bank of
written notice of such default from the Representative of any
Senior Creditor with respect to such Senior Creditor’s Senior
Debt specifying an election to effect a Payment Blockage Period (a
“ Blockage Notice ”) and ending on the date,
determined in good faith by the Bank, (i) of repayment in full
in cash of such Senior Debt or (ii) that the default giving
rise to such Blockage Notice is no longer continuing.
Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately
preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the
first sentence of this Section 2.08(a) ), unless the
holders of Senior
13
Debt or
the Representative of such holders shall have accelerated the
maturity of such Senior Debt, the Bank shall, upon the expiration
of any Payment Blockage Period, resume payments of accrued unpaid
interest on, and regularly scheduled payments of principal of,
indebtedness of the Bank evidenced by the Securities.
(b) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations evidenced
by the Securities are subordinated on liquidation, as to principal,
interest, and premium (if any) to all claims against the Bank that
have the same priority as savings accounts or higher. The
indebtedness of the Bank evidenced by the Securities, including the
principal and premium, if any, and interest shall be subordinate
and junior in right of payment to its obligations to its
depositors, its obligations under bankers’ acceptances and
letters of credit, and its obligations to its other creditors,
including its obligations to the Federal Reserve Bank, FDIC, and
any rights acquired by the FDIC as a result of loans made by the
FDIC to the bank or the purchase or guarantee of any of its assets
by the FDIC pursuant to the provisions of 12 USC §1823(c),
(d) or (e), whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred. In
the event of any insolvency, receivership, conservatorship,
reorganization, readjustment of debt, marshaling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings or any liquidation or winding up
of or relating to the Bank, whether voluntary or involuntary, all
such obligations shall be entitled to be paid in full before any
payment shall be made on account of the principal of, or premium,
if any, or interest, on the Securities. In the event of any such
proceedings, after payment in full of all sums owing on such prior
obligations, the holder of the Securities, together with any
obligations of the Bank ranking on a parity with the Securities,
shall be entitled to be paid from the remaining assets of the Bank
the unpaid principal thereof and any unpaid premium, if any, and
interest before any payment or other distribution, whether in cash,
property, or otherwise, shall be made on account of any capital
stock or any obligations of the Bank ranking junior to the
Securities.
(c) Except
as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 2.08 ,
nothing herein shall impair the obligation of the Bank, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on
the Securities according to their terms.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary, (1) the Bank shall not pay interest
on the Securities while it remains in default in the payment of any
assessment due to the FDIC, and (2) in accordance with and
subject to 12 U.S.C. §1831o(h) (or its successor statute), if
the Bank becomes a critically undercapitalized insured depository
institution under such statute, it shall not, beginning
60 days after becoming critically undercapitalized, make any
payment of principal or interest on the Securities. The Bank shall
promptly notify the Holders upon becoming aware of any facts that
would result in the Bank being prohibited from paying interest on
the Securities in accordance with the preceding sentence.
(e) Each
Holder by accepting a Security agrees that the Debt evidenced by
such Security is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent
and in the manner provided in this Section 2.9 , to the
prior payment in full (including both interest and principal) of
all Senior Debt and that the subordination is for the benefit of
and enforceable by the Holders of Senior Debt.
(f) Nothing
in this Section 2.08 shall prevent any Holder of
Securities from exercising its respective available remedies upon
an Event of Default, subject to the rights of
14
holders
of Senior Debt to receive distributions otherwise payable to
Holders of the Securities. Should any payment or prepayment on
account of the Securities (whether principal, interest or
otherwise) be received by the Holders in contravention of this
Section 2.08 , the Holders shall deliver the same to
the Senior Creditors for application on the Senior Debt, and the
Holders agree that, until so delivered, the same shall be deemed
received by the Holders as agents for the Senior Creditors and such
payment or prepayment shall be held in trust by the Holders as
property of the Senior Creditors.
(g) If
the FDIC shall be appointed as receiver for the Bank and in its
capacity as such shall have caused the Bank to merge with or into
another financial institution, or in such capacity shall sell or
otherwise convey part or all of the assets of the Bank to another
financial institution or shall arrange for the assumption of less
than all of the liabilities of the Bank by one or more other
financial institutions, the FDIC shall have no obligation, either
in its capacity as receiver or in its corporate capacity, to
contract for or to otherwise arrange for the assumption of the
obligation represented by the Securities in whole or in part by any
financial institution or institutions which results from any such
merger or which has purchased or otherwise acquired from the FDIC
as receiver for the Bank, any of the assets of the Bank, or which
pursuant to any arrangement with the FDIC, has assumed less than
all of the liabilities of the Bank. To the extent that the
obligations represented by the Securities have not been assumed in
full by a financial institution with or into which the Bank may
have been merged, as described in this paragraph (i), and/or by one
or more financial institutions which have succeeded to all or a
portion of the assets of the Bank, or which have assumed a portion
but not all of the liabilities of the Bank as a result of one or
more transactions entered into by the FDIC as receiver of the Bank,
then the holder of the Securities shall be entitled to payments on
the related obligation in accordance with any procedures or
priorities set forth in any applicable receivership regulations or
in orders of the FDIC relating to such receivership.
(h) In
the event that the obligation represented by the Securities is
assumed in full by another financial institution, which shall
succeed by merger or otherwise to substantially all of the assets
and the business of the Bank, or which shall by arrangement with
the FDIC assume all or a portion of the liabilities of the Bank,
and payment or provision for payment shall have been made in
respect of all matured installments of interest upon the Securities
together with all installments of principal on the Securities which
shall have become due other than by acceleration, then any default
caused by the appointment of a receiver for the Bank shall be
deemed to have been cured, and any declaration consequent upon such
default declaring the principal and interest on the Securities to
be immediately due and payable shall be deemed to have been
rescinded.
(i) The
Securities are not secured by any assets of the Bank, or any
affiliate (as defined in 12 C.F.R. Section 583.2) of the Bank.
The Securities are not eligible as collateral for any loan by the
Bank.
(j) Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof or of the Securities, including
specifically those set forth in the sections relating to
subordination, events of default and covenants of the Bank, it is
expressly understood and agreed that if the applicable Federal
Banking Regulator is the OCC, then the OCC or any receiver or
conservator of the Bank appointed by the OCC shall have the right
in the performance of his legal duties, and as part of
15
liquidation designed to protect or further the continued existence
of the Bank or the rights of any parties or agencies with an
interest in, or claim against, the Bank or its assets, to transfer
or direct the transfer of the obligations evidenced by the
Securities or otherwise evidenced hereby to any bank or bank
holding company selected by such official which shall expressly
assume the obligation of the due and punctual payment of the unpaid
principal, and interest and premium, if any, on the Securities or
hereunder and the due and punctual performance of all covenants and
conditions hereunder or under the Securities; and the completion of
such transfer and assumption shall serve to supersede and void any
default, acceleration or subordination which may have occurred, or
which my occur due or related to such transaction, plan, transfer
or assumption, pursuant to the provisions of the Securities or
otherwise hereunder, and shall serve to return the Holder to the
same position, other than for substitution of the obligor, it would
have occupied had no default, acceleration or subordination
occurred; except that any interest and principal previously due,
other than by reason of acceleration, and not paid shall, in the
absence of a contrary agreement by the Holders, be deemed to be
immediately due and payable as of the date of such transfer and
assumption, together with the interest from its original due date
at the rate provided for herein or in the Securities.
