(c)     CorpBanca, from and after the Chilean Effective Time, will directly or indirectly cause the Persons who served as directors or officers of CorpBanca or Itaú Chile, immediately prior to the Chilean Effective Time, to be covered by CorpBanca’s or Itaú Chile’s existing directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy with respect to acts or omissions occurring prior to the Chilean Effective Time, which were committed by such officers and directors in their capacity as such; provided that (i) CorpBanca may substitute therefor policies of at least the same coverage and amounts containing terms and conditions which are not less advantageous than such policy, (ii) in no event shall CorpBanca be required to expend more than 250% per year of coverage of the amount currently expended by CorpBanca or Itaú Chile per year of coverage as of the date of this Agreement (the “Maximum Amount”) to maintain or procure insurance coverage pursuant hereto and (iii) if notwithstanding the use of reasonable best efforts to do so, CorpBanca is unable to maintain or obtain the insurance called for by this Section 4.11(c), CorpBanca shall obtain as much comparable insurance as available for the Maximum Amount.

(e)     The provisions of this Section 4.12 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and representatives.

4.20   Insurance Matters.

(a)     Following the Chilean Effective Time, Itaú Parent shall cause Itaú Chile Compañia de Seguros de Vida S.A. (“Itaú Insurance Company”) to (i) provide Itaú Insurance Company’s life insurance-related products (the “Itaú Insurance Products”) to CorpBanca Insurance Clients and (ii) pay to CorpBanca Insurance Brokers brokerage and/or services fees (the “Insurance Brokerage Fees”) in an aggregate annual amount equal to 47.7% (the “Applicable Premium Percentage”), as it may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 4.20(b), of the aggregate revenues generated from the sales of the Itaú Insurance Products by CorpBanca Insurance Brokers for the relevant year, in consideration and exchange for the offer of the Itaú Insurance Products by CorpBanca Insurance Brokers to the CorpBanca Insurance Clients. The Applicable Premium Percentage shall be applied to calculate the Insurance Brokerage Fees during the period commencing on the Chilean Effective Time and ending on the last day of the calendar year (the “First Applicable Premium Percentage Year”) subsequent to the year on which the Chilean Effective Time occurs.

(b)     On June 30 of any fiscal year following the First Applicable Premium Percentage Year (the “Calculation Date”), CorpBanca shall implement the procedure described in this Section 4.20(b) to determine whether the average insurance-related brokerage and/or services fees (expressed as a percentage of premiums earned) paid by insurance companies to the five largest Chilean insurance brokers (measured in terms of total premiums) that are Subsidiaries of banks (“Insurance Fees Market Average”) during the prior fiscal year have varied, upwards or downwards, by more than ten percent (10%) as compared to the Benchmark Fee Rate (a “Trigger Event”). The “Benchmark Fee Rate” shall be the Insurance Fees Market Average determined by the application of the procedure described in this Section 4.20(b) for the first Calculation Date and shall be revised to equal the Insurance Fees Market Average with respect to each future Calculation Date in which a Trigger Event occurs. If a Trigger Event occurs, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a revised Applicable Premium Percentage that shall become effective immediately and shall not be lower than the Benchmark Fee Rate for the previous fiscal year. If the Parties are unable to agree on a revised Applicable Premium Percentage within fifteen (15) days of the final determination of the Insurance Fees Market Average, the Applicable Premium Percentage shall be immediately revised to equal the Insurance Fees Market Average.

 

51


The procedure for determining the Insurance Fees Market Average (and whether a Trigger Event has occurred) shall be the following:

(i)     CorpBanca shall hire one benchmarking expert from those listed in Schedule 4.20(a) (“Benchmarking Expert”) to conduct market research of insurance-related brokerage and/or services fees paid by insurance companies to banks and insurance brokers that are Subsidiaries of banks and, based on such research, determine (with instructions to make such determination within thirty (30) days of such Benchmarking Expert’s selection) the Insurance Fees Market Average and whether a Trigger Event has occurred, which determination will, if acceptable to CorpBanca, be final and binding until a new Applicable Premium Percentage with respect to the next Calculation Date is determined pursuant to this Section 4.20.

(ii) in the event such revised Applicable Premium Percentage is not acceptable to CorpBanca, then CorpBanca shall hire another Benchmarking Expert selected by CorpBanca from those listed in Schedule 4.20(a) to conduct market research for the same purposes described in item (i) above and, based on such research, determine (with instructions to make such determination within thirty (30) days of such Benchmarking Expert’s selection) the Insurance Fees Market Average and whether a Trigger Event has occurred. If the difference between the Insurance Fees Market Average determined pursuant to such procedure is lower than ten percent (10%), the simple average between the Insurance Fees Market Averages as determined by both Benchmarking Experts, and the calculation of whether a Trigger Event has occurred based on such determination, shall be final and binding until a new Applicable Premium Percentage with respect to the next Calculation Date is determined pursuant to this Section 4.20. If the difference between the Insurance Fees Market Averages determined pursuant to such procedure is higher than ten percent (10%), CorpBanca may hire an actuary firm from those listed in Schedule 4.20(b) to determine (with instructions to make such determination within thirty (30) days of such firm’s selection) the Insurance Fees Market Average and whether a Trigger Event has occurred, which determination shall be final and binding until a new Applicable Premium Percentage with respect to the next Calculation Date is determined pursuant to this Section 4.20.

(c)     If Itaú Parent desires not to continue to cause Itaú Insurance Company to offer the Itaú Insurance Products to CorpBanca Insurance Clients, Itaú Parent shall (i) use its reasonable best efforts to, 90 days prior to the date on which Itaú Insurance Company ceases to provide the Itaú Insurance Products to CorpBanca Insurance Clients (the “Insurance Termination Date”), enter into an agreement with a third party and one or more CorpBanca Insurance Brokers (the “New Insurance Brokerage Contract”) effective as of the Insurance Termination Date whereby such third party will provide the Itaú Insurance Products to the CorpBanca Insurance Clients and pay to such CorpBanca Insurance Brokers the related Insurance Brokerage Fees on substantially the same terms set forth in Section 4.20(a) and (b); and (ii) until a New Insurance Contract is effective, continue to pay CorpBanca or the CorpBanca Insurance Brokers an amount equal to the average of the Insurance Brokerage Fees paid by Itaú Insurance Company to CorpBanca or the CorpBanca Insurance Brokers under this Section 4.20 in the 12-month period prior to the Insurance Termination Date.

 

52


4.21   Certain Other Businesses.

(a)     If the Colombian Merger is to be effected pursuant to Section 1.6(i), the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to, on the Colombian Effective Time, transfer, assign or otherwise convey, in accordance with applicable Law, the Financing Corporation Business to a Subsidiary of CorpBanca Colombia.

(b)     During the six (6) month period following the date hereof, the Parties shall discuss and consult in good faith regarding whether CorpBanca will continue to hold its ownership interest in SMU Corp. and agree to implement the mutual determination made by the Parties; provided if by such six (6) month anniversary the Parties have not reached a mutual agreement, Itaú Parent shall have the right to determine in its sole discretion whether CorpBanca will continue to hold its ownership interest in SMU Corp. and, if Itaú Parent so determines, Corp Group Parent will, and will cause CorpBanca to use reasonable best efforts to divest, transfer, liquidate or otherwise dispose all of CorpBanca’s and its Subsidiaries’ investment in SMU Corp. as promptly as reasonably practicable and on commercially reasonable terms.

(c)     Itaú Parent shall cause its applicable Subsidiary to enforce its rights under the MCC Contract to purchase the remaining outstanding capital stock of MCC by August 31, 2016 to the extent it has not otherwise acquired such capital stock by that date.

Itaú Parent and Corp Group Parent hereby acknowledge and agree that certain Chilean clients of CorpBanca may be interested in contracting financial services and products from financial entities located outside of Chile. Itaú Parent and CorpBanca shall discuss in good faith and on an arm’s-length basis the fees to be paid by Itaú Parent and its relevant Subsidiaries to CorpBanca or one or more of its Subsidiaries in consideration for or in connection with referrals of CorpBanca’s clients. Any such fees shall be paid in the most economically efficient manner to both parties in the relevant transaction. No fees shall be due by Itaú Parent or its Affiliates in connection with services and products that are requested by CorpBanca’s clients directly from Itaú Parent or any of its Affiliates other than CorpBanca and its Subsidiaries. Itaú Parent and CorpBanca and their respective Affiliates shall always comply with all applicable laws and regulations in the offer of such services and products to CorpBanca’s clients, the performance of their obligations and the exercise of their rights under this Section 4.22.

Prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Party has delivered to the other Party a letter (its “Disclosure Letter”) setting forth, among other things, items the disclosure of which is necessary or appropriate either in response to an express disclosure requirement contained in a provision hereof or as an exception to one or more of such Party’s representations or warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, as applicable, or to one or more of its covenants contained in Article 4; provided that (i) no such item is required to be set forth in a Party’s Disclosure Letter as an exception to any representation or warranty of such Party if its absence would not result in the related representation or warranty being deemed untrue or incorrect under the standard established by Section 3.5, and (ii) the mere inclusion of an item in a Party’s Disclosure Letter as an exception to a representation or warranty shall not be deemed an admission by that Party that such item represents a material exception or fact, event or circumstance or that such item is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Party. Any disclosures made with respect to a subsection of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, as applicable, shall be deemed to qualify (a) any subsections of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, as applicable, specifically referenced or cross-referenced and (b) other subsections of Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4, as applicable, to the extent it is reasonably apparent (notwithstanding the absence of a specific cross reference) from a reading of the disclosure that such disclosure (i) applies to such other subsections and (ii) contains sufficient detail to enable a reasonable person to recognize the relevance of such disclosure to such other subsections.

No waiver by a Party shall be effective unless in writing signed by a duly authorized officer of such Party.

(b)     The failure of any Party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right of such Party at a later time to enforce the same or any other provision of this Agreement.

7.10   Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted and construed in accordance with, the Law of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

7.11   Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument, and which counterparts may be delivered by facsimile or electronic mail.

7.12   Captions. The captions contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not part of this Agreement.

 

74


7.13   Interpretations. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed or resolved against any Party solely by virtue of such Party being considered the draftsman. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has been reviewed, negotiated and accepted by all Parties and their attorneys and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as fairly to accomplish the purposes and intentions of the Parties.

7.14   Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the Parties. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

7.15     Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation ancillary to arbitration directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions. Each of the Parties hereto hereby (i) certifies that no representative of any other party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of any such action or liability, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver; and (ii) acknowledges that it has been induced to enter into this agreement and the transactions contemplated by this agreement, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section 7.15.

7.16   Dispute Resolution. Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that, without prejudice to the parties’ respective rights under Section 7.17 to resort to a court of competent jurisdiction, all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be finally settled by international arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC Rules”) by three (3) arbitrators. Within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that they shall in good faith attempt to agree on arbitrators who are qualified in New York Law. In the event the Parties cannot agree on arbitrators within such thirty (30) day period, then the arbitrators shall be appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitral award will be final and binding on the Parties, not subject to appeal, and enforceable in accordance with its terms. The Parties agree that by submitting the dispute, controversy or claim to arbitration under the ICC Rules, the Parties undertake to implement any final award rendered by the arbitral tribunal without delay and that the prevailing Party shall be entitled to have the final award enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration costs will be borne by the losing Party (or Parties) or such other Party (or Parties) as designated by the arbitral tribunal. In case it is necessary for one (1) or more Parties to the dispute to enforce the arbitral award through any type of court proceedings, the other Party (or Parties) to the dispute will bear all reasonable costs, expenses and attorney fees including any extra court fees or arbitration fees.

 

75


7.17   Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and subject to Section 7.16 above it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching Party will have the right to seek an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof. Each Party agrees that the courts of the State of New York and the federal courts of the United States of America located in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, United States, are a court of competent jurisdiction for seeking any such relief. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Transactions in the courts of the State of New York and the federal courts of the United States of America located in New York County, New York, United States, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each Party further irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such suit, action or other proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by mail to such Party at its address set forth in this Agreement, such service of process to be effective upon acknowledgment of receipt of such registered mail; provided that nothing in this Section shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by Law. The consent to jurisdiction set forth in this Section 7.17 shall not constitute a general consent to service of process in the State of New York and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this Section 7.17. The Parties agree that a final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

7.18   Further Assurances. At any time or from time to time after the date hereof, the Parties agree to cooperate with each other, and at the request of any other Party, to execute and deliver any further instruments or documents and to take all such further action as another Party may reasonably request in order to evidence or effectuate the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and to otherwise carry out the intent of the Parties hereunder.

(b)   The Dragged Shareholder shall be obligated to sell either all of its Company Shares or all of its Bank Shares (at the Dragged Shareholder’s option in its sole discretion), free and clear of liens pursuant to the Required Transfer at the same price and on other terms no less favorable to the Dragged Shareholder than the Dragging Shareholder; to participate in the Required Transfer; to vote any voting Company Shares or Bank Shares in favor of the Required Transfer at any meeting of shareholders called to vote on or approve the Required Transfer and/or to consent in writing to the Required Transfer; to use its reasonable best efforts to cause its designated Directors to vote in favor of the Required Transfer at any meeting of the Board called to vote on or approve the Required Transfer and/or to consent in writing to the Required Transfer; to waive all dissenters’ or appraisal rights in connection with the Required Transfer, if any; to enter into agreements relating to the Required Transfer, if any; and to agree (as to itself) to make to the proposed Transferee the same representations, warranties, covenants and agreements as the Dragging Shareholder agrees to make in connection with the Required Transfer; provided that (i) any representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities and other agreements shall be made severally and not jointly and shall not extend beyond representations or warranties relating to unencumbered title to its Company Shares or Bank Shares and its legal authority and capacity to enter into and perform the transaction documents; provided that each Shareholder will be responsible for its pro rata share of any escrow or holdback arrangement, and (ii) the Dragged Shareholder shall not be obligated to enter into any non-competition covenant. If either Company or any Shareholders are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received, each Company and all Shareholders will be given the same option. Unless otherwise agreed by each Shareholder, any non-cash consideration shall be allocated among each Company and Shareholders pro rata based upon the aggregate amount of consideration to be received by such Company and Shareholders.

(c)   If the Dragged Shareholder elects to Transfer Bank Shares pursuant to this Section 3.5, and such Transfer is not made through a tender offer launched by the proposed Transferee, it shall place an order on the Santiago Stock Exchange to sell the respective Bank Shares, and the proposed Transferee shall place an order to buy such Bank Shares at a price not less than the proposed purchase price set forth in the Required Transfer Notice; provided that (1) any such sale of Bank Shares shall be implemented through one of the mechanisms available on the Santiago Stock Exchange that only allows block sales (and, if both the Dragged Shareholder and the Dragging Shareholder have elected to sell Bank Shares through the Santiago Stock Exchange, all such sales shall be combined as a single block sale), and (2) if, as a result of the competitive bidding procedures of the Santiago Stock Exchange, the Bank Shares sold by the Dragged Shareholder pursuant to this Section 3.5 are unexpectedly sold over the Santiago Stock Exchange to a Third Party other than the proposed Transferee, then the Dragged Shareholder shall have no further obligation under this Section 3.5.

 

26


(d)   Any expenses incurred for the benefit of the Companies and all Shareholders in relation to a Required Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be paid by the Shareholders in accordance with their respective pro rata portion of the Bank Shares to be Transferred (including any Bank Shares Transferred indirectly through a Transfer of Company Shares) to the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Transferee.

SECTION 3.6.     Put of Company Shares. (a)   If and to the extent that Company Two is prohibited from selling its Bank Shares pursuant to Section 3.2(d), Corp Group Parent and its Permitted Transferees shall have the unconditional right, from time to time on one or more occasions, to sell to Itaú Parent, and Itaú Parent shall have the unconditional obligation to acquire from Corp Group Parent and its Permitted Transferees, any number of Company Shares at a price per share equal to the Market Price as of the date on which Corp Group Parent notifies Itaú Parent of Corp Group Parent’s exercise of its unconditional right to sell pursuant to this Section 3.6(a) if immediately following such sale the Majority of the Chilean Bank Condition would remain satisfied (for the avoidance of doubt, such number of Company Shares shall not exceed the minimum number of Company Shares that would result in the Majority of the Chilean Bank Condition being satisfied if Section 2.2(a) were not in effect).

(b)   If Corp Group Parent wishes to exercise the right to sell pursuant to Section 3.6(a), it shall notify Itaú Parent in writing of its intention (the “Section 3.6 Put Notice”), which notice shall be irrevocable and unconditional. Itaú Parent shall pay the purchase price of the Company Shares transferred pursuant to Section 3.6(a) in one single payment in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Corp Group Parent without withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes (other than as required by applicable Law). The payment of the purchase price and the purchase and sale of the applicable Company Shares shall be consummated no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the relevant notice provided by Corp Group Parent pursuant to this Section 3.6(b); provided that such closing shall be delayed until ten (10) Business Days after the date that all necessary regulatory approvals for such purchase and sale have been obtained. The Shareholders shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals for such purchase and sale as promptly as practicable.

(c)   At the time of payment of the purchase price of the Company Shares set forth in Section 3.6(b), Itaú Parent shall pay Corp Group Parent, as an indemnity for not being able to benefit from the Tax Entitlement it would have received by selling the underlying Bank Shares in the Santiago Stock Exchange, a cash amount equal to (i) 50% of any Taxes of Corp Group Parent or its Affiliates arising out of or in connection with the Transfer pursuant to this Section 3.6 that would not have arisen if it sold the underlying Bank Shares in the Santiago Stock Exchange and received the applicable Tax Entitlement and (ii) any Taxes of Corp Group Parent or its Affiliates arising out of the application of this Section 3.6(c).

(d)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the number of Company Shares which Itau Parent is required to purchase pursuant to any Section 3.6 Put Notice shall be reduced by a number equal to (i) the sum of the number of Bank Shares purchased by Itaú Parent in the 15 Business Day period following the date of such Section 3.6 Put Notice (such that Company Two shall be permitted to sell such number of Bank Shares under Section 3.2(d)) and the number of Bank Shares sold by Company Two in the applicable Section 3.6 Tender Offer (as defined below) divided by (ii) the Exchange Ratio. “Section 3.6 Tender Offer” means a tender offer which may be

 

27


commenced by Itaú Parent within 20 Business Days after the date of any Section 3.6 Put Notice to purchase at a price not less than the Market Price applicable to the Section 3.6 Notice up to a number of Bank Shares equal to the number of Company Shares set forth in such Section 3.6 Put Notice multiplied by the Exchange Ratio. Corp Group Parent shall cause Company Two to tender such number of Bank Shares into the applicable Section 3.6 Tender Offer.

SECTION 3.7.     Change of Control of Corp Group Parent.   Prior to consummating a Change of Control of Corp Group Parent, Corp Group Parent shall notify Itaú Parent and Company One of Corp Group Parent’s (or its direct or indirect owners’) intention to engage in a Change of Control. As a result of the delivery of such notice, Corp Group Parent shall provide Itaú Parent a right of first offer to purchase a number of its Company Shares equal to the number required for the Majority of the Chilean Bank Condition to remain satisfied assuming that Section 2.2(a) were not in effect at a price equal to the higher of the Market Price and Fair Value of such shares. If Itaú Parent accepts the price proposed by Corp Group Parent, Corp Group Parent shall be obligated to cause Company Two to sell such Company Shares to Itaú Parent at such price. Itaú Parent shall pay the purchase price of the Company Shares transferred pursuant to this Section 3.7 in one single payment in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Corp Group Parent without withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes (other than as required by applicable Law). The payment of the purchase price and the purchase and sale of the applicable Company Shares shall be consummated no later than ninety (90) calendar days after the relevant notice provided by Corp Group Parent pursuant to this Section 3.7; provided that such closing shall be delayed until ten (10) Business Days after the date that all necessary regulatory approvals for such purchase and sale have been obtained. The Shareholders shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary regulatory approvals for such purchase and sale as promptly as practicable. In the event that Itaú Parent does not accept the price proposed by Corp Group Parent and as a result Itaú Parent and Corp Group Parent do not reach agreement on a sale of such Company Shares to Itaú Parent, then Corp Group Parent shall be permitted to proceed with such Change of Control and Itaú Parent shall be entitled to unilaterally terminate this Agreement during a period of sixty (60) days after receipt of notice of the consummation of such Change of Control given by Corp Group Parent.

SECTION 3.8.     Right to Exchange Shares for Shares of Itaú Parent.   In the event Itaú Parent issues or sells (each, an “Itaú Parent Equity Transaction”), any Equity Securities (including options or warrants) of Itaú Parent (“Itaú Parent Equity Securities”) to any Person as consideration for or in connection with a transaction or series of transactions involving the direct or indirect investment by Itaú Parent or its Affiliates in Equity Securities or assets of any other Person, including by means of a merger or any corporate reorganization involving the issuance of Itaú Parent Equity Securities, Itaú Parent shall inform Corp Group Parent of such issuance or sale and shall offer to Corp Group Parent the right to exchange for the same type of Itaú Parent Equity Securities. Corp Group Parent shall be entitled to exchange any or all of Corp Group Parent’s and its Permitted Transferees Company Shares (and/or Company Two’s Bank Shares) for such Itaú Parent Equity Securities at an exchange ratio that reflects the relative Fair Values of the relevant Itaú Parent Equity Securities and the Company Shares (and/or Bank Shares) as of the applicable date, as the case may be; provided that if the issuance of any such Itaú Parent Equity Securities to Corp Group Parent would result in IUPAR ceasing to hold more than 50% of Itaú Parent’s voting equity, then Corp Group Parent shall have the right to exchange no more than an amount of Itaú Parent Equity Securities the issuance of which would not result in IUPAR ceasing to hold more

 

28


than 50% of Itaú Parent’s voting equity. Itaú Parent shall, and shall cause its relevant Subsidiaries to, effect any such exchange no later than ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of any regulatory and corporate approvals required in connection with such exchange. The Shareholders shall cooperate in good faith to complete any such exchange as promptly as practicable and shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary regulatory and corporate approvals for any such exchange as promptly as practicable.

SECTION 3.9.     Controlling Shareholder.

(a)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Itaú Parent shall have no obligation to purchase Bank Shares or Company Shares from Company Two, Corp Group Parent or any of its Permitted Transferees under this Agreement to the extent such purchase would, in and of itself, require Itaú Parent to make a tender offer for all of the outstanding Bank Shares as a result thereof.

(b)   Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Itaú Parent is not the Controlling Shareholder (as defined in Article 97 of the Chilean Securities Market Act) of the Chilean Bank, prior to consummating any obligation to purchase Company Shares or Bank Shares from Corp Group Parent, Company Two or their Permitted Transferees under any applicable provisions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 3.6, 5.1 or 6.2) which would result in Itaú Parent being the Controlling Shareholder of the Chilean Bank, Itaú Parent shall commence a tender offer to purchase a number of Bank Shares which would result in Itaú Parent being the Controlling Shareholder of the Chilean Bank for the purchase price provided in such applicable provision of this Agreement and shall in any event satisfy its obligation (whether through the tender offer or a subsequent purchase thereafter) within ninety (90) calendar days. Corp Group Parent shall cause Company Two to tender its Bank Shares into such tender offer and, to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Bank Shares are purchased by Itaú Parent through such tender offer, Itaú Parent shall be deemed to have purchased such Bank Shares in satisfaction of such applicable provision of this Agreement (it being agreed and understood that any applicable obligations of Itaú Parent to sell such Bank Shares back to Corp Group Parent or Company Two shall not be adversely affected by this Section 3.9(b)).

SECTION 3.10.   Tax Benefit Allocation.

(a)   The Shareholders hereby acknowledge that (i) before the Chilean Effective Time certain Bank Shares owned by the Companies had, either totally or partially, the exemption on capital gains set forth in Article 107 of the Chilean Income Tax Law entitling the holder of such Bank Shares to transfer them free of Chilean capital gains tax (the “Tax Entitlement”) and (ii) the Tax Entitlement remains in the Bank Shares held, directly or indirectly, by the Companies.

(b)   The Shareholders (i) agree to use reasonable best efforts and cooperate so that the provisions set forth in this Agreement (including without limitation with respect to any Transfer contemplated by Section 3.6) are implemented in a manner that allows the Shareholders to use the Tax Entitlement and (ii) shall consider all mechanisms available at such time to allow a Shareholder to use the Tax Entitlement or mitigate in any way the overall tax result of the implementation of such provisions; provided that such efforts shall neither alter the economic substance of the provisions of this Agreement nor generate a detrimental tax effect on the other Shareholder.

SECTION 5.2.     Call Option in Event of Material Breach.

(a)             If a Shareholder commits a Material Breach of this Agreement (the “Breaching Shareholder”), then, without limiting any other right or remedy the non-Breaching Shareholder may have, the non-Breaching Shareholder shall have the right to give written notice to the Breaching Shareholder describing such Material Breach and demanding that the Breaching Shareholder cure the Material Breach by fully performing its obligation. If the Breaching Shareholder has not cured its Material Breach within fifty (50) calendar days after receipt of any such notice from the non-Breaching Shareholder (the “Cure Period”), (i) the non-Breaching Shareholder shall have the unconditional right (the “Breach Call Option”), by written notice from the non-Breaching Shareholder to the Breaching Shareholder delivered at any time during the continuance of such Material Breach after the Cure Period (the “Breach Call Notice”), to require the Breaching Shareholder to sell, and the Breaching Shareholder shall have the unconditional obligation to sell and transfer all of its Company Shares (or all the Bank Shares held by the Company in which the Breaching Shareholder and its Permitted Transferees own Company Shares) to the non-Breaching Shareholder at a price per Share (the “Breach Call Price”) equal to 80% of the Market Price as of the date of the Breach Call Notice, and (ii) if the non-Breaching Shareholder is Corp Group Parent, Corp Group Parent shall also have the right (the “Breach Put Option”), by written notice to Itaú Parent delivered at any time during the continuance of such Material Breach after the Cure Period the (“Breach Put Notice”), to sell to Itaú Parent, and Itaú Parent shall thereupon acquire from Corp Group Parent, all of its and its Permitted Transferees’ Company Shares (or all of the Bank Shares held by Company Two) at a price per Share (the “Breach Put Price”) equal to 120% of the Market Price as of the date of the Breach Put Notice. If the Breaching Shareholder cures the Material Breach that gave rise to the Breach Call Option or Breach Put Option prior to receiving a Breach Call Notice or Breach Put Notice from the non-Breaching Shareholder, the non-Breaching Shareholder shall no longer have the right to exercise the Breach Call Option (or the Breach Put Option) in respect of such Material Breach in question. The non-Breaching Shareholder shall have the right to decide whether Company Shares or Bank Shares shall be sold and purchased pursuant to this Section 5.2.

SECTION 6.2.     Dividend Policy; Dividend Put and Call Options.

(a)   For each of the eight full fiscal years of the Chilean Bank following the Closing Date (the “Dividend Period”), each of the Shareholders will cause the Chilean Bank to adopt an annual business plan and budget that expressly provides for the management of the Chilean Bank and its Subsidiaries in a manner that has as its primary target, in the following order of priority: (i) first, complying with Optimal Regulatory Capital for such fiscal year (including achieving up to, but in no event exceeding, the Minimum Growth Rate inherent in the definition of Optimal Regulatory Capital), (ii) second (after achieving the objective in clause (i) above), the payment by the Chilean Bank of cash dividends aggregating at least US$370 million for each year during the Dividend Period and (iii) third (after achieving the objectives in both clause (i) and (ii) above), achieving a growth rate of the total assets of the Chilean Bank and the Colombian Bank above the Minimum Growth Rate and other reasonable objectives as determined by the Board of the Chilean Bank; provided that the Board of the Chilean Bank shall have expressly determined in good faith that such growth rate and objectives would not reasonably be expected to cause the Chilean Bank to fail to achieve the objectives in clauses (i) and (ii) in any of the next two fiscal years after such determination and during the Dividend Period.

(c)   If the amount of the dividends paid in cash by the Chilean Bank is less than U.S. $370 million for any fiscal year during the Dividend Period, the Shareholders will cause the Companies to cause the Chilean Bank and its Subsidiaries to maximize the use of Tier 2 capital, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law to increase its regulatory capital to the extent required to maintain Optimal Regulatory Capital requirements for such fiscal year.

(ii) cause Company Two to sell to Itaú Parent or one of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, at a price per Bank Share (the “Bank Shares Dividend Put Price”) equal to the Market Price as of the date on which Corp Group Parent notifies Itaú Parent of Corp Group Parent’s exercise of its unconditional right to sell pursuant to this Section 6.2(d)(ii) (the “Bank Shares Dividend Put Exercise Date”), a number of Bank Shares equal to (A) the Minimum Dividend Amount minus the Required Dividend declared by the Chilean Bank and to be received by Corp Group Parent, divided by (B) the Bank Shares Dividend Put Price; provided that in such event Itaú Parent unconditionally agrees to place an order on the Santiago Stock Exchange on the ninth Business Day after the Bank Shares Dividend Put Exercise Date to buy all of such Bank Shares at a price not less than the Market Price of such Bank Shares as of such date;

provided, further, that (1) any sale of Bank Shares pursuant to Section 6.2(d)(ii) shall be implemented through one of the mechanisms available on the Santiago Stock Exchange that only allows block sales and (2) if, as a result of the competitive bidding procedures of the Santiago Stock Exchange, the Bank Shares sold by Company Two pursuant to Section 6.2(d)(ii) are unexpectedly sold over the Santiago Stock Exchange to a Third Party at a price higher than the Market Price of such shares as of the Bank Shares Dividend Put Exercise Date, then Corp Group Parent shall no longer have the right set forth in Section 6.2(e) to repurchase such Bank Shares from Itaú Parent or one of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries.

(e)   During the five-year period following the exercise by Corp Group Parent of any right to sell Company Shares or Bank Shares pursuant to Section 6.2(d), Corp Group Parent shall have the unconditional right either to (at the option of Corp Group Parent in its sole discretion):

(i) acquire from Itaú Parent, and Itaú Parent shall have the unconditional obligation to sell to Corp Group Parent, a number of Company Shares up to the number of Company Shares sold pursuant to Section 6.2(d)(i) at the same price per Company Share as was paid by Itaú Parent pursuant to Section 6.2(d)(i) plus an annual interest rate at the Chilean Índice de Cámara Promedio plus a spread that is not to exceed the lowest spread then being offered by the Chilean Bank to non-governmental borrowers in Chile; or

 

36


(ii) cause Itaú Parent to place an order on the Santiago Stock Exchange (on a date coordinated by the Shareholders) to sell to Corp Group Parent and/or Company Two a number of Bank Shares up to the number of Bank Shares sold to Itaú Parent or one of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries by Company Two pursuant to Section 6.2(d)(ii) at the same price per Bank Share as was paid by Itaú Parent or one of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 6.2(d)(i) plus an annual interest rate at the Chilean Índice de Cámara Promedio plus a spread that is not to exceed the lowest spread then being offered by the Chilean Bank to non-governmental borrowers in Chile (the “Dividend Call Price”) (it being understood that in such event Itaú Parent unconditionally agrees to sell all of such Bank Shares at the Dividend Call Price);

provided, further, that (1) any sale of Bank Shares pursuant to Section 6.2(e)(ii) shall be implemented through one of the mechanisms available on the Santiago Stock Exchange that only allows block sales, (2) if, as a result of the competitive bidding procedures of the Santiago Stock Exchange, the Bank Shares sold by Itaú Parent or one of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries pursuant to Section 6.2(e)(ii) are sold over the Santiago Stock Exchange to a Third Party at a price higher than the Dividend Call Price of such shares, then Corp Group Parent and/or Company Two shall not have right to repurchase such Bank Shares and (3) for purposes of determining which Company Shares or Bank Shares are being acquired when Corp Group Parent’s and Company Two’s unconditional right to acquire is exercised pursuant to this Section 6.2(e), a first in/first out methodology shall be used.

(f)   Itaú Parent, Company One, Corp Group Parent and Company Two, as applicable, shall pay the purchase price of the Company Shares or Bank Shares transferred pursuant to Section 6.2(d) or (e) in a single payment in cash for each individual transaction, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account specified by Itaú Parent or Corp Group Parent, as applicable, without withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes (other than as required by applicable Law). The payment of the purchase price and the purchase and sale of the applicable Company Shares or Bank Shares, as the case may be, shall be consummated as soon as practicable and no later than ten (10) Business Days, in each case after the date on which Corp Group Parent notifies Itaú Parent in writing of the exercise of the unconditional right to sell pursuant to Section 6.2(d) or to buy pursuant to Section 6.2(e); provided that such closing shall be delayed until ten (10) Business Days after the date that all necessary regulatory consents for such purchase and sale have been obtained. The Shareholders shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain all necessary regulatory consents for any such purchase and sale in a prompt manner.

SECTION 6.3.     Use of the Shareholders’ Brands.

(a)   The Chilean Bank’s corporate name shall be “Itaú Corpbanca”.

(b)   The Shareholders agree that for so long as Itaú Parent directly or indirectly owns Bank Shares, subject to the corresponding license agreements, CorpBanca and its Subsidiaries shall have a royalty-free, perpetual license to use the Itaú Brand, whether alone or in conjunction with other trademarks. Subject to section 6.3(c) below, all advertising, promotional, marketing, product literature, press releases, public filings or other consumer-facing materials shall be determined by Itaú Parent in its sole discretion.

 

37


(c)   The Shareholders shall cause CorpBanca and its Subsidiaries to exclusively use the Itaú Brand and the Shareholders shall cause the names of the Subsidiaries to be changed to reflect such Itaú Brand as directed by Itaú Parent.

SECTION 6.4.     Preapproved Matters.

Corp Group Parent undertakes to consent to (including for purposes of Section 2.8) and affirmatively vote its Bank Shares at any shareholders’ meeting in favor of the approval of (i) a transaction between the Chilean Bank’s stock-broker (corredora) Subsidiary and MCC at such time as MCC is wholly owned by an Affiliate of Itaú Parent, which transaction may be structured as an acquisition of Equity Securities of MCC by the Chilean Bank (followed by a merger such Subsidiary and MCC) and shall involve a valuation equal to the Fair Value thereof (“Preapproved Matters”) and (ii) the implementation of Section 6.3.

SECTION 6.5.     Strategic Transactions.

(a)             Corp Group Parent and Itaú Parent intend to use the Chilean Bank and its Subsidiaries as their exclusive vehicle to pursue business opportunities in the Banking Business in Chile, Colombia, Peru and Central America. As a result, if either Corp Group Parent or Itaú Parent, or any of its respective Affiliates, intends to pursue or develop any new business opportunities in the Banking Business in Chile, Colombia, Peru and/or Central America (each, a “New Business Opportunity”), individually or with third parties, Corp Group Parent and Itaú Parent (as the case may be) shall or, if applicable, shall cause its Affiliate, to notify the other party and shall provide the Chilean Bank with the exclusive right to pursue such New Business Opportunity (through the Chilean Bank and its Subsidiaries) prior to presenting it to or pursuing it individually or with third parties. If Corp Group Parent or Itaú Parent does not agree to the Chilean Bank pursuing or continuing to pursue or consummating any particular New Business Opportunity within thirty (30) days following receipt of such notice, the other party shall have the right to pursue and implement such New Business Opportunity unilaterally and not through the Chilean Bank.

(b)             Corp Group Parent and Itaú Parent shall use their best efforts to avoid dilution of their respective equity ownership in the Chilean Bank in connection with the implementation of any New Business Opportunity. If Corp Group Parent agrees to the Chilean Bank pursuing a New Business Opportunity that would require a capital increase and/or a change in the dividend policy of the Chilean Bank, Itaú Parent shall provide Corp Group Parent with long-term financing in an amount reasonably deemed necessary by Corp Group Parent to finance its subscription of its pro rata share of all Bank Shares issued by the Chilean Bank in such capital increase; provided that such financing will bear interest at a market rate and contain other terms, including guarantees, that are commercially reasonable for comparable credits at such time. If Corp Group Parent agrees to allow the Chilean Bank to pursue and implement such New Business Opportunity but decides not to participate in the capital increase in connection therewith, Itaú Parent will grant Corp Group Parent an unconditional additional call option with respect to the number of Bank Shares or Company Shares (at the election of Corp Group Parent in its sole discretion) that if purchased by Corp Group Parent at such time would restore its direct and indirect ownership percentage of outstanding Bank Shares to its ownership percentage of outstanding Bank Shares immediately prior to such capital increase, with such call option being

 

38


subject to the terms of Sections 5.1(b)-(e) (except that the strike price thereof shall be an amount equal to the price per Share that Itaú Parent paid in the capital increase plus interest at the Chilean Índice de Cámara Promedio plus a spread that is not to exceed the lowest spread then being offered by the Chilean Bank to non-governmental borrowers in Chile).

SECTION 6.6.     Itaú Parent’s Paraguay and Uruguay Operations. Corp Group Parent and Itaú Parent shall (i) negotiate in good faith the inclusion of their respective businesses in Paraguay and Uruguay as part of the business owned and operated by the Chilean Bank, (ii) shall use their reasonable best efforts to agree on the valuation of such businesses in Paraguay and Uruguay and (iii) if Corp Group Parent and Itaú Parent agree on the valuation of such businesses, such businesses shall be transferred to, and owned and operated by, the Chilean Bank, it being agreed that nothing in this Section 6.6 shall be construed to require Corp Group Parent or Itaú Parent to agree to any transaction that Corp Group Parent or Itaú Parent, respectively, determine in good faith would impair the consummation or anticipated benefits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or impose an adverse effect on such party.

43


SECTION 7.9.     Delays or Omissions. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party, upon any breach, default or noncompliance by another party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. It is further agreed that any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party hereto of any breach, default or noncompliance under this Agreement or any waiver on such party’s part of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and signed by the party granting the waiver and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement, by Law, or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

SECTION 7.10.     Governing Law; Dispute Resolution; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)   Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND DUTIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES (EXCEPT FOR SUCH CORPORATE ACTIONS, DECISIONS AND ACTIVITIES TO BE CONDUCTED AND ADOPTED BY THE CORPORATE BODIES OF THE CHILEAN BANK OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE MANDATORY RULES STATED FOR SUCH ACTIONS, DECISIONS AND ACTIVITIES UNDER CHILEAN OR COLOMBIAN LAW, AS APPLICABLE).

(b)   Dispute Resolution. Each of the parties irrevocably agrees that all disputes, controversies or claims arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be finally settled by international arbitration under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC Rules”) by three (3) arbitrators. Within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, each of the parties irrevocably agrees that they shall in good faith attempt to agree on arbitrators who are qualified in New York Law. In the event the parties cannot agree on arbitrators within such thirty (30) day period, then the arbitrators shall be appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules. The place of arbitration shall be New York, New York. The language of the arbitration shall be English. The arbitral award will be final and binding on the parties, not subject to appeal, and enforceable in accordance with its terms. The parties agree that by submitting the dispute, controversy or claim to arbitration under the ICC Rules, the parties undertake to implement any final award rendered by the arbitral tribunal without delay and that the prevailing party shall be entitled to have the final award enforced in any applicable court. The arbitration costs will be borne by the losing party (or parties) or such other party (or parties) as designated by the arbitrator or arbitral panel (as applicable). In case it is necessary for one (1) or more parties to the dispute to enforce the arbitral award through any type of court proceedings, the other party (or parties) to the dispute will bear all reasonable costs, expenses and attorney fees including any extra court fees or arbitration fees.

(c)   EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR LIABILITY DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH

 

44


THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

SECTION 7.11.     Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

SECTION 7.12.     Enforcement. Each party hereto acknowledges that money damages would not be an adequate remedy in the event that any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its terms, and subject to Section 7.10(b) above it is therefore agreed that in addition to and without limiting any other remedy or right it may have, the non-breaching party will have the right to seek an injunction, temporary restraining order or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction enjoining any such breach and enforcing specifically the terms and provisions hereof.

SECTION 7.13.     Titles and Subtitles. The titles of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

SECTION 7.18.     Counterparts; Facsimile Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature(s).

Following receipt of a Demand Notice for a Demand Registration in accordance with this Section 3(a), the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to file a Registration Statement in accordance with such Demand Notice and the preceding sentence and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof.

All requests made pursuant to this Section 3 will specify the number of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method(s) of disposition thereof.

Except as otherwise agreed by Corp Group Parent, the Company shall maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Registration Statement with respect to any Demand Registration until such securities cease to be Registrable Securities or such shorter period, as confirmed in writing by Corp Group Parent, ending when such Registrable Securities have actually been sold.

Within five business days after receipt by the Company of a Demand Notice pursuant to this Section 3(a), the Company shall deliver a written notice of any such Demand Notice to all other holders of Registrable Securities, and the Company shall, subject to the provisions of Section 3(b), include in such Demand Registration all such Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within 10 business days after the date that such notice has been delivered; provided that such holders must agree to the method of distribution proposed by the Shareholders who delivered the Demand Notice and, in connection with any underwritten registration, such holders (together with the Company and the other holders including securities in such underwritten registration) must enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form reasonably approved by the Company and, solely with respect to any representations, warranties or obligations of the applicable Shareholders contained in such underwriting agreement, the Shareholders holding the majority of the Registrable Securities. All requests made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall specify the aggregate amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of distribution of such securities.

(b)        Priority on Demand Registration.  If any of the Registrable Securities registered pursuant to a Demand Registration are to be sold in an underwritten offering, and the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company or holders of such securities in writing that in its good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering is such as to adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of such offering (including securities proposed to be included by other holders entitled to include such securities in such Registration Statement pursuant to incidental or piggyback registration rights), then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as follows:

 

4


(i)          first, pro rata among the holders of Registrable Securities that have requested to participate in such Demand Registration on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by such holders; and

(ii)        second, the securities for which inclusion in such Demand Registration, as the case may be, was requested by the Company.

(c)        Postponement of Demand Registration.  The Company shall be entitled to (1) postpone, the filing (but not the preparation) of a Registration Statement or (2) require each holder of Registrable Securities to refrain from disposing Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement (and each such holder shall forthwith discontinue such disposition) (collectively (1) and (2) a “Suspension”), if, the Company delivers a notice to the Stockholders stating that (A), in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Company (after consultation with legal counsel), such registration, offering or disposition would (i) require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, or (ii) materially interfere with any bona fide material financing, acquisition, disposition or other similar transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries then under consideration or (iii) occur during a Scheduled Black-Out Period, or (B) any event of the kind described in Section 6(c) (ii), (iii) or (iv) has occurred; provided that in the case of a Suspension declared pursuant to clause (A)(i) or (A)(ii) above, the Company shall be limited to calling no more than two (2)) Suspensions in any 12-month period, with each Suspension being for a reasonable period and such Suspensions not aggregating more than 60 days in any 12-month period. Such notification shall contain a non-binding approximation of the anticipated delay. The Shareholders receiving such notification shall keep the information contained in such certificate confidential subject to the same terms set forth in Section 6(o). If the Company shall so postpone the filing of a Registration Statement, Corp Group Parent shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration by giving written notice to the Company within 10 days of the anticipated termination date of the postponement period, as provided in the certificate delivered to Corp Group Parent and, for the avoidance of doubt, upon such withdrawal, the withdrawn request shall not constitute a Demand Notice; provided that in the event Corp Group Parent does not so withdraw the request for registration, the Company shall continue to prepare a Registration Statement during such postponement such that, if it exercises its rights under this Section 3(c), it shall be in a position to and shall, as promptly as practicable following the expiration of the applicable deferral or suspension period, file or update and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the effectiveness of the applicable deferred or suspended Registration Statement.

(d)        Cancellation of a Demand Registration.  Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities that are to be registered in a particular offering pursuant to this Section 3 shall have the right to notify the Company that they have determined that the registration statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall abandon or withdraw such registration statement; provided that such Demand Notice underlying such abandonment or withdrawal shall not be deemed to be a Demand Notice for purposes of Section 3(e) if in response to a material adverse change regarding the Company based primarily on facts not known to such holders of Registrable Securities or different from the facts known to such holders at the time they submitted the Demand Notice; provided, further, that if any registration statement is abandoned or withdrawn pursuant to this Section 3(d) for any reason other than as described in the foregoing proviso, the holders of Registrable Securities that delivered the Demand Notice relating to such registration statement shall reimburse the Company for all of its reasonable out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with or arising out of such abandoned or withdrawn registration statement (including all expenses described in Section 7), pro rata according to the number of Registrable Securities.

(e)        Limitation of Demand Notices.  In connection with the provisions of this Section 3, Corp Group Parent may not make more than one Demand Registration request with respect to a Qualifying Offering in any 365-day period.

Section 4.            Piggyback Registration; Shelf Take Down.

(a)        Right to Piggyback.  Except with respect to a Demand Registration, the procedures for which are addressed in Section 3, if the Company proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities

 

5


Act with respect to an offering of Registrable Securities, whether or not for sale for its own account and whether or not an underwritten offering or an underwritten registration (other than a registration statement (i) on Form F-4, Form F-8 or any successor forms thereto or (ii) filed to effectuate an exchange offer or any employee benefit or dividend reinvestment plan or with respect to an issuance of shares by the Company to the extent required to comply with immediate legal or regulatory requirements or to meet the Optimal Regulatory Capital (as defined under the Shareholders Agreement)), then the Company shall give prompt written notice of such filing no later than five business days prior to the filing date (the “Piggyback Notice”) to all of the holders of Registrable Securities. The Piggyback Notice shall offer such holders the opportunity to include (or cause to be included) in such registration statement the number of Registrable Securities as each such holder may request (each, a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 4(b), the Company shall include in each such Piggyback Registration all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein (each a “Piggyback Request”) within 10 business days after notice has been given to the applicable holder. The Company shall not be required to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for a Piggyback Registration beyond the earlier to occur of (x) 180 days after the effective date thereof and (y) consummation of the distribution by the holders of the Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement.

(b)        Priority on Piggyback Registrations.  If any of the Registrable Securities to be registered pursuant to the registration giving rise to the rights under this Section 4 are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the managing underwriter(s) of a proposed underwritten offering to permit holders of Registrable Securities who have timely submitted a Piggyback Request in connection with such offering to include in such offering all Registrable Securities included in each holder’s Piggyback Request on the same terms and subject to the same conditions as any other shares of capital stock, if any, of the Company included in the offering. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the managing underwriter(s) of such underwritten offering advise the Company in writing that it is their good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of securities that such holders, the Company and any other Persons having rights to participate in such registration, intend to include in such offering is such as to adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of the securities in such offering, then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without so adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities shall be allocated as follows:

(i) first, all securities proposed to be sold by the Company for its own account;

(ii) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to Section 4, pro rata among such holders on the basis of the percentage of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement by such holders; and

(iii) third, all other securities requested to be included in such Registration Statement; provided that holders may, prior to the earlier of the (x) effectiveness of the Registration Statement and (y) time at which the offering price and/or underwriter’s discount are determined with the managing underwriter(s) and (z) in the case of any Qualifying Offering in which the Company is offering or selling securities, the filing of any preliminary prospectus that includes a price range with respect to such Qualifying Offering, withdraw their request to be included in such registration pursuant to this Section 4.

(c)        Shelf-Take Downs.  At any time that a shelf registration statement covering Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 (or otherwise) is effective, if Corp Group Parent delivers a notice to the Company (each, a “Take-Down Notice”) stating that it intends to sell all or part of its Registrable Securities included by it on the shelf registration statement (each, a “Shelf Offering”), then, the Company shall amend or supplement the shelf registration statement as may be necessary in order to enable such Registrable Securities to be distributed pursuant to the Shelf Offering. In connection with any Shelf Offering, including any Shelf Offering that is a Qualifying Offering, if the Shelf Offering is underwritten, in the event that the managing underwriter(s) of such Shelf Offering advise such holders in writing that it is their good faith opinion the total number or dollar amount of securities proposed to be sold exceeds the total number or dollar amount of such securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities to be included, then the managing underwriter(s) may limit the number of Registrable Securities which

 

6


would otherwise be included in such Shelf Offering in the same manner as described in Section 3(b) with respect to a limitation of shares to be included in a registration; provided that each Shelf Offering that is an Qualifying Offering initiated by Corp Group Parent shall be deemed to be a demand subject to the provisions of Section 3(a) (subject to Section 3(d)), and shall decrease by one the number of Demand Notices Corp Group Parent is entitled to pursuant to Section 3(e); provided, further, that a Take-Down Notice with respect to an underwritten offering may only be made if the sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered by such Shareholders is reasonably expected to result in aggregate gross cash proceeds in excess of the Threshold Size.

Section 5.            Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities.

Section 8.            Indemnification.

(a)        Indemnification by the Company.  The Company shall, without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities whose Registrable Securities are covered by a Registration Statement or Prospectus, the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each of them, each Person who controls each such holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees of each such controlling person, each underwriter, if any, and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) such underwriter, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and any legal or other fees or expenses actually incurred by such party or person in connection with any investigation or Proceeding or defending or, subject to the last sentence of this Section 8(a), settling any such Loss or claim), expenses, judgments, fines, penalties, charges and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, in each case arising out of or based upon any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or any violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder applicable to the Company and (without limitation of the preceding portions of this Section 8(a)), provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based on (i) any untrue statement or omission by such holder or underwriter, but only if such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus or offering circular in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such holder of Registrable Securities furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities or its authorized representatives expressly for inclusion therein, or (ii) any sales of Registrable Securities while a Suspension is in effect. It is agreed that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Loss or action if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(b)        Indemnification by Holder of Registrable Securities.  As a condition to including any Registrable Securities in any registration statement filed in accordance with this Agreement, each holder of Registrable Securities shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, severally and not jointly with any other holders of Registrable Securities, the Company, its Subsidiaries, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and each their respective officers, directors, partners, members, managers, shareholders, accountants, attorneys, agents and employees from and against all Losses arising out of or based on any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act), or any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is made in such Registration Statement, Prospectus, offering circular, any amendments or supplements thereto, “issuer free writing prospectus” (as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) in reliance upon and in conformity with written information regarding such holder of Registrable Securities furnished to the Company by such holder of Registrable Securities

 

11


or its authorized representatives expressly for inclusion therein; provided that the obligations of such holder under such undertaking shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) if such settlement is effected without the consent of such holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); and provided, further, that the liability of such holder of Registrable Securities shall be limited to the net proceeds received by such selling holder from the sale of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement.

(c)        Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.  If any Person shall be entitled to indemnity hereunder (each, an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall give prompt notice to the party from which such indemnity is sought (each, an “Indemnifying Party”) of any claim or of the commencement of any Proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party seeks indemnification or contribution pursuant hereto; provided that the delay or failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation or liability except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has been materially prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, exercisable by giving written notice to an Indemnified Party promptly after the receipt of written notice from such Indemnified Party of such claim or Proceeding, to assume, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, the defense of any such claim or Proceeding, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party; provided that an Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such claim or Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay such fees and expenses; (ii) based on advice of counsel, a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties is reasonably likely to exist in respect of such claims, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party fails promptly to assume, or in the event of a conflict of interest cannot assume, the defense of such claim or Proceeding or fails to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding, in which case the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to assume the defense of such claim or proceeding at the Indemnifying Party’s expense; provided, further, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one such claim or Proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related claims or Proceedings in the same jurisdiction, arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of attorneys (together with appropriate local counsel) at any time for all of the Indemnified Parties. Whether or not such defense is assumed by the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnifying Party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). The Indemnifying Party shall not consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such claim or litigation for which such Indemnified Party would be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(d)        Contribution.  If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses (other than in accordance with its terms), then each applicable Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and Indemnified Party, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made (or omitted) by, or relates to information supplied in writing by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent any such action, statement or omission.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8(d), an Indemnifying Party that is a selling holder of Registrable Securities shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount that such Indemnifying Party has otherwise been, or would otherwise be, required to pay pursuant to Section 8(b) by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or

 

12


alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(e)        Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.

Section 9.            Rule 144. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to: (i) file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner, to the extent required from time to time to enable all holders to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitations of the exemption provided by Rule 144; and (ii) so long as any Registrable Securities are outstanding, furnish holders thereof upon request (A) a written statement by the Company as to its compliance with the reporting requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and of the Exchange Act and (B) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company (except to the extent the same is available on EDGAR).

Section 10.          Underwritten Registrations.  In connection with any underwritten offering, each of Corp Group Parent and the Company shall be entitled to select one of up to two investment bankers and managers to serve as joint-lead underwriters, after prior consultation with the other party in good faith. No Person may participate in any underwritten offering hereunder unless such person (a) agrees to sell the Registrable Securities it desires to have covered by a Registration Statement on the basis provided in any customary underwriting agreement for such offering, (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, provided that (x) such Person shall not be required to undertake any indemnification or contribution obligations to the Company or any underwriter with respect thereto other than as specifically provided in Section 8 and (x) the obligations of such Person pursuant to such underwriting agreement shall be several and not joint subject to the limitations set forth in the provisos contained in Section 8(b).

Section 11.          Miscellaneous.

(a)        Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given without the written consent of each of the Shareholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of holders of Registrable Securities whose securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other holders of Registrable Securities may be given by holders of at least a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold by such holders pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(b)        Notices.  All notices required to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be duly given if personally delivered, telecopied and confirmed, or mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, or overnight delivery service with proof of receipt maintained, at the following address (or any other address that any such party may designate by written notice to the other parties):

If to the Company, to the address of its principal executive offices. If to any Shareholder, at such Shareholder’s address as set forth on the records of the Company. Any such notice shall, if delivered personally, be deemed received upon delivery; shall, if delivered by telecopy, be deemed received on the first business day following written confirmation; and shall, if delivered by internationally recognized overnight courier service, be deemed received the second business day after being sent.

(c)        Successors and Assigns; Shareholder Status.  This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties; provided that (x) the Company may not assign this Agreement (in whole or in part) without the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities, (y) a Shareholder may not assign this Agreement (in whole or in part) without

 

13


the prior written consent of the Company except to a transferee of Registrable Securities pursuant to transfers to (i) Affiliates of such Shareholder or (ii) the other Shareholder and its Affiliates, in each case that are permitted under the Shareholders Agreement and where such Shareholder has also provided the Company with prior written notice of the proposed assignment and (z) such successor or assign shall not be entitled to such rights unless the successor or assign shall have executed and delivered to the Company an Addendum Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (which shall also be executed by the Company) promptly following the acquisition of such Registrable Securities, in which event such successor or assign shall be deemed a Shareholder for purposes of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Shareholder assigns some or all of its rights hereunder to deliver a Demand Notice or a Take-Down Notice to any permitted assignee, such Shareholder shall, if such rights to deliver Demand Notices or Take-Down Notices are subject to limitations pursuant to this Agreement, including Section 3(e) and the provisos to Section 4(c), no longer be entitled to exercise such rights, but only to the extent assigned, and the exercise of such Demand Notice or Take-Down Notice by such assignee shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 3(e) and the provisos to Section 4(c). Except as provided in Section 8 with respect to an Indemnified Party, nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under, in or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained.

(d)        Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts and delivered by facsimile, pdf or other electronic transmission with the same effect as if all signatory parties had signed and delivered the same original document, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

(e)        Headings; Construction.  The section and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Unless the context requires otherwise: (i) pronouns in the masculine, feminine and neuter genders shall be construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular form shall be construed to include the plural and vice versa; (ii) the term “including” shall be construed to be expansive rather than limiting in nature and to mean “including, without limitation,”; (iii) references to sections and paragraphs refer to sections and paragraphs of this Agreement; and (iv) the words “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereunder” and words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole, including Exhibit A hereto, and not to any particular subdivision unless expressly so limited.

(f)        Severability.  If any term or provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions hereof, or the application of such provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it has been held invalid or unenforceable, shall remain in full force and effect and in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated thereby, so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such determination, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith in an effort to agree upon a suitable and equitable substitute provision to effect the original intent of the parties hereto. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

(g)       Entire Agreement; Supremacy.  This Agreement, the Transaction Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement are intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement, and are intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein and therein. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein and therein, with respect to the registration rights granted by the Company with respect to Registrable Securities. This Agreement, together with the Transaction Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter. In the event of any conflict between this Agreement and the Shareholders Agreement or any Other Registration Rights Agreement, the Shareholders Agreement and/or Other Registration Rights Agreement, as the case may be, shall control; in furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall permit a Shareholder to engage in any Transfer (as defined in the Shareholders Agreement) unless such is expressly permitted under the Shareholders Agreement.

 

14


(h)       Securities Held by the Company or its Subsidiaries.  Whenever the consent or approval of holders of a specified percentage of Registrable Securities is required hereunder, Registrable Securities held by the Company or its subsidiaries shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the holders of such required percentage.

(i)        Specific Performance.  The parties hereto recognize and agree that money damages may be insufficient to compensate the holders of any Registrable Securities for breaches by the Company of the terms hereof and, consequently, that the equitable remedy of specific performance of the terms hereof will be available in the event of any such breach.
