WHEREAS, on October 3, 2008, LBSF and LBCS each filed a petition in the Bankruptcy Court commencing a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (respectively, the “LBSF Case” and the “LBCS Case”);

WHEREAS, on October 5, 2008, LCPI filed a petition in the Bankruptcy Court commencing a case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “LCPI Case,” and collectively with the LBHI Case, the LBSF Case, the LBCS Case, and the Chapter 11 proceedings for each of their affiliated debtor-entities currently pending before the Bankruptcy Court, the “Bankruptcy Cases”);

WHEREAS, the Bankruptcy Cases are being jointly administered by the Bankruptcy Court;

WHEREAS, on September 19, 2008, Lehman Brothers Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned broker-dealer subsidiary of LBHI (“LBI”), commenced a liquidation proceeding (the “SIPA Proceeding”) under the Securities Investor Protection Act, as amended (“SIPA”), with respect to LBI, and appointed James Giddens as the Trustee thereof (the “SIPA Trustee”);

WHEREAS, incident to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Cases, and for the reasons set forth in LBHI’s Motion Pursuant to Sections 105(a) and 363 of the Bankruptcy Code for Authorization to Fund a Capital Contribution to Woodlands Commercial Bank, filed in the Bankruptcy Court on February 6, 2009, and the order of the Bankruptcy Court entered on February 17, 2009, approving said Motion, LBHI contributed capital in the amount of $200 million to Woodlands. In consideration of such contribution, LBHI and Woodlands entered into a certain Contribution Agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) pursuant to which Woodlands assigned to LBHI the first $200 million recovered on account of the Municipal Bond Claim (defined below) in the SIPA Proceeding;


WHEREAS, in connection with the Bankruptcy Cases, Woodlands asserted claims regarding (a) the allocation of certain tax liabilities and benefits, (b) certain interest rate derivative transactions, (c) various forward purchase arrangements involving securities issued by municipalities and public or quasi-public entities, (d) a participation interest in a certain mortgage loan, (e) certain credit and interest rate hedging arrangements, (f) certain fee arrangements, (g) intercompany transactions with Woodlands to the extent that any of such transactions may violate federal bank regulatory restrictions on affiliate transactions, (h) the funding commitment associated with a participation interest sold to LCPI in a syndicated financing facility, (i) certain other participation interests in loans and funding commitments sold to LBHI and LCPI, and (j) obligations to indemnify Woodlands pursuant to certain intercompany agreements and in respect of litigation in which Woodlands may be liable to third parties for obligations of LBHI or other Lehman Entities (collectively, the “Inter-Company Arrangements”);

The Tax Allocations

WHEREAS, Woodlands is an industrial bank subject to supervision and regulation by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”) and the State of Utah’s Department of Financial Institutions (the “Utah Department of Financial Institutions”);

WHEREAS, Woodlands is a member of an affiliated group of corporations (the “Affiliated Group”) of which LBHI is the common parent, for federal income and certain state and local income or franchise tax purposes;

WHEREAS, the Affiliated Group has elected to file consolidated federal tax returns pursuant to section 1501, et seq., of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);

WHEREAS, Woodlands participates with other members of the Affiliated Group in the filing of consolidated federal income tax returns (the “Federal Consolidated Returns”) and in the filing of combined returns for certain states and localities for state and local income and franchise tax purposes (the “State Combined Returns”);

WHEREAS, the FDIC, in concert with other federal banking agencies, has issued an Interagency Policy Statement on Income Tax Allocation in a Holding Company Structure (the “Policy Statement”) setting forth certain requirements for intercompany tax allocations in cases where banking organizations and savings and loan associations that are subsidiaries of holding companies file income tax returns as members of a consolidated group;

WHEREAS, Woodlands and LBHI are parties to a Tax Allocation Agreement, dated as of August 24, 2005, (the “TAA”);

WHEREAS, the TAA provides for Woodlands to be included in the Federal Consolidated Returns and the State Combined Returns along with LBHI and other members of the Affiliated Group, and also allocates to Woodlands certain federal, state and local tax liabilities and tax benefits to reflect the tax position Woodlands would have been in had it filed its tax returns on a separate, and not consolidated or combined, basis;

 

2


WHEREAS, the TAA requires Woodlands to pay to LBHI for each tax year an amount equal to the tax liability that Woodlands would have incurred had it filed, for that year, a separate federal income tax return and separate state and local income tax returns in those states in which Woodlands joined in the filing of State Combined Returns;

WHEREAS, the TAA further provides that “[s]hould the Bank [Woodlands] incur Losses for income tax return purposes that it could utilize currently if it filed its return on a separate entity basis, it will record a current income tax benefit,” in which case Woodlands “will be entitled to receive a refund from LBHI in an amount no less than the amount of the income tax benefit derived from such Losses,” and “[t]his refund shall be tendered to the Bank [Woodlands] within a reasonable time of the date when the Bank [Woodlands] would have filed its [own] return utilizing such [l]osses” and “regardless of whether the [consolidated or combined] Group is receiving a refund,”;

WHEREAS, for tax years 2005, 2006 and 2007, Woodlands had taxable income which would have resulted in substantial federal and state tax liabilities for Woodlands had it filed separate income tax returns for those years;

WHEREAS, in accordance with the TAA, Woodlands made payments to LBHI and established certain accounts payable to LBHI in amounts estimated at that time to reflect the separate return tax liabilities Woodlands would have incurred for 2005, 2006 and 2007 had it filed separate federal income tax returns and separate state and local returns in those states in which it participated in the State Combined Returns;

WHEREAS, for the 2008 tax year, Woodlands incurred tax losses that would have produced a substantial separate return net operating loss (“NOL”) for Woodlands for federal and state income tax purposes;

WHEREAS, it has been determined that the 2008 NOL of the Affiliated Group will be carried back to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law (i.e., five years for federal income tax purposes), and that the amount that LBHI owes Woodlands under the TAA will be correspondingly computed;

WHEREAS, for tax year 2009, Woodlands had taxable income on a separate return basis for federal and state income tax purposes;

WHEREAS, had Woodlands filed its own separate tax return, the 2008 NOL of Woodlands would have been sufficient to eliminate, by way of carry back, all taxable income of Woodlands for federal income tax purposes for 2005, 2006 and 2007, as well as for state and local income tax purposes for those years in any states or localities which would permit the carry back of the 2008 NOL to those years; and, therefore, had Woodlands filed separate federal and state income tax returns, Woodlands would be entitled to substantial tax refunds for 2005, 2006 and 2007;

WHEREAS, had Woodlands filed its own separate tax return, the 2008 NOL of Woodlands would have been sufficient to eliminate, by way of carry forward, all taxable income of Woodlands for federal income tax purposes for 2009, as well as for state and local income tax purposes for 2009 in any states or localities which would permit the carry forward of the 2008

 

3


NOL to 2009 and, therefore, had Woodlands filed separate federal and state income tax returns, Woodlands would have no tax liability for 2009 for federal income tax purposes or for purposes of any states or localities which would permit the carry forward of the 2008 NOL to 2009;

WHEREAS, Woodlands and LBHI do not agree, among other things, on the interpretation and application of the TAA in certain respects, including the impact of the Bankruptcy Cases upon the parties’ obligations under the TAA;

WHEREAS, Woodlands timely filed a claim against LBHI (the “Tax Claim”) in the Bankruptcy Cases relative to amounts payable to Woodlands under the TAA, seeking, in addition to the cancellation of all accounts payable shown as owing by Woodlands to LBHI for tax payments under the TAA, a cash payment from LBHI in the approximate amount of at least $25 million for 2006 and 2007 taxes, plus any additional amount attributable to tax refunds for 2005, all subject to adjustment;

WHEREAS, the Tax Claim also includes a claim for any other amounts due and that may become due in connection with the TAA, or as may be required by the Policy Statement, applicable law or any other applicable documents;

WHEREAS, the parties recognize that a final determination of the amounts owed by LBHI to Woodlands under the TAA, or that Woodlands owes to LBHI, as the case may be, could be subject to a number of adjustments, depending on the outcome, among other things, of pending examinations of prior taxable years by certain taxing authorities and certain book or tax adjustments relating to the correct tax liabilities, or the correct liabilities under the TAA, of Woodlands and LBHI for the relevant years;

The Derivative Transactions with LBSF

WHEREAS, LBSF and Woodlands entered into that certain ISDA Master Agreement, dated August 24, 2005 (together with the Schedule, Credit Support Annex and Confirmations thereto and made a part thereof, as amended from time to time, the “LBSF ISDA Master Agreement”);

WHEREAS, LBHI is identified as a “Credit Support Provider” of both LBSF and Woodlands in the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement;

WHEREAS, LBHI issued a guarantee, dated August 24, 2005, in favor of LBSF (the “LBSF Guarantee”), guaranteeing the obligations of Woodlands under the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement and the LBSF Transactions (as defined below), and also issued a guarantee, dated August 24, 2005, in favor of Woodlands (the “Woodlands Guarantee,” together with the LBSF Guarantee, the “Guarantees” and each a “Guarantee”), guaranteeing the obligations of LBSF under the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement and the LBSF Transactions;

WHEREAS, LBSF and Woodlands entered into various interest rate-linked derivative transactions governed by the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement, including interest rate swaps to hedge Woodlands’ interest rate exposure on its portfolio of certificates of deposits (such derivative transactions with LBSF, “Interest Rate Swaps”) and certain back-to-back interest rate swaps involving various municipalities (such swaps with LBSF, the “IRPs,” and together

 

4


with the Interest Rate Swaps, the “LBSF Transactions”; the interest rate-linked swaps between Woodlands and the various municipalities related to the IRPs being referred to herein as the “Related IRPs”);

WHEREAS, as provided for by the Credit Support Annex to the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement, Woodlands pledged collateral to LBSF to secure the payment obligations of Woodlands under (i) the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement and (ii) certain mirror agreements (collectively, the “Mirror Agreements”) between Woodlands and LBSF related to the Forward Purchase Agreements, as more specifically described below;

WHEREAS, as of the Filing Date, the amount of cash collateral held by LBSF under the Credit Support Annex to the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement (the “LBSF Collateral”) was $618,606,262, of which $505,101,856 was pledged in respect of the LBSF Transactions (the “LBSF Transaction Collateral”) and $113,504,406 was pledged in respect of the Mirror Agreements (the “FPA Collateral”);

WHEREAS, under the Credit Support Annex to the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement, interest on the LBSF Collateral accrues at a rate “set by [Woodlands’] Asset and Liability Committee in its sole discretion, after taking into account [Woodland’s] cost of funding.” For the periods in question, Woodland’s Asset and Liability Committee set 1 month LIBOR plus 40 basis points as the rate at which interest accrues on the LBSF Collateral;

WHEREAS, because LBHI is a Credit Support Provider of both Woodlands and LBSF, the commencement of the LBHI Case triggered an event of default with respect to each of Woodlands and LBSF under the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement, and, as a consequence, each of Woodlands and LBSF is a “Defaulting Party” under and for purposes of the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement;

WHEREAS, in addition to the commencement of the LBHI Case, Woodlands asserts that other events of default with respect to LBSF occurred under the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement, including the commencement of the LBSF Case;

WHEREAS, by reason of the parties’ defaults under the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement, LBSF, by letter dated June 12, 2009, terminated the LBSF Transactions under the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement and designated June 15, 2009 as the “Early Termination Date” for purposes of the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement, whereupon, in order to confirm the rights of the parties in respect of the determination of the amounts payable under the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement, Woodlands notified LBSF, by letter dated June 18, 2009, of LBSF’s status as a “Defaulting Party” for purposes of the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement;

WHEREAS, although a statement of calculations regarding the amount payable under Section 6(e) of the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement has not yet been agreed upon by Woodlands and LBSF, Woodlands timely filed claims against LBSF and LBHI (the “LBSF ISDA Claims”) in the Bankruptcy Cases relative to amounts payable to Woodlands under the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement on account of (a) the termination of the LBSF Transactions determined as of the Early Termination Date, after set-off against the LBSF Collateral, in an amount of not less than $307,000,000, plus interest accruing thereon at a “Default Rate” of 5.9% for the period from

 

5


(and including) the Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the payment date (the “LBSF Claim Interest Amount”) and (b) amounts payable to Woodlands under Section 11 of the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement, which provides that Woodlands shall be indemnified and held harmless by LBSF, as the “Defaulting Party,” against expenses, including legal fees, incurred by Woodlands in connection with the enforcement and protection of its rights under the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement or by reason of the early termination of the LBSF Transactions, including costs of collection and any other amounts that are due or may become due under the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement, including but not limited to fees accrued through and including the Filing Date, interest (including default interest), costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), in each case as provided for under the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement (the fees, expenses and other amounts described in clause (b) are referred to herein, collectively, as the “ISDA Fees”);

WHEREAS, although Woodlands used the “bid price” for 11 of the terminated LBSF Transactions in determining the amount asserted in its LBSF ISDA Claims, the Parties have agreed that the appropriate measure of such terminated LBSF Transactions is the “mid-market value,” rather than the “bid price,” and, accordingly, have now agreed that the amount of Woodlands’ claim on account of the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement should be reduced by approximately $31.7 million;

WHEREAS, LBSF has asserted that pursuant to the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 11 thereof, Woodlands is also a “Defaulting Party” such that LBSF has concomitant claim against Woodlands on account of certain ISDA Fees that LBSF has incurred;

The Forward Purchase Arrangements with LBSF

WHEREAS, Woodlands is a party to various back-to-back forward arrangements with LBSF and, in connection therewith, Woodlands entered into certain forward purchase agreements (collectively, the “Forward Purchase Agreements”) with various municipalities and public or quasi-public entities and/or trustees and escrow agents that were acting on behalf of such municipalities and public or quasi-public entities;

WHEREAS, in each instance, simultaneously with Woodlands’ entry into a Forward Purchase Agreement, Woodlands and LBSF entered into a related Mirror Agreement to mirror the forward purchase transaction under the related Forward Purchase Agreement, and in support of Woodlands’ obligations under such Mirror Agreement, Woodlands pledged the FPA Collateral to LBSF, all pursuant to the terms of the Credit Support Annex to the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement. As noted above, under the Credit Support Annex to the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement, interest accrues on the FPA Collateral at a rate equal to 1 month LIBOR plus 40 basis points;

WHEREAS, as a result of LBSF’s designation of the Early Termination Date for purposes of the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement and the Credit Support Annex thereto, not only were the LBSF Transactions thereunder deemed terminated as of said date, but, in addition, Woodlands’ obligation to pledge collateral under the Credit Support Annex also terminated on said date, and Woodlands became entitled to the return of any excess collateral pledged under the Credit Support Annex, including the FPA Collateral;

 

6


WHEREAS, Woodlands timely filed claims against LBSF and LBHI on account of the Mirror Agreements (the “FPA Claims”) in the Bankruptcy Cases, wherein it asserted that as a result of the commencement of the LBHI Case and the LBSF Case, and LBSF’s resulting failure to thereafter exercise any of its rights or perform any of its obligations under any Mirror Agreement, and, in light of the Early Termination Date designation, Woodlands is now entitled to recover FPA Collateral having a value of not less than $113,504,406, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and any other amounts that are due or that may become due under the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement or the Credit Support Annex thereto, including but not limited to fees accrued through and including the Filing Date, interest (including default interest), costs, fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees), in each case as provided for under the LBSF ISDA Master Agreement;

The OTA Participation Interest

WHEREAS, on July 31, 2007, Woodlands purchased from LBHI a $100 million participation interest in a mortgage loan made by LBHI to OTA Hotel Owner, LP (the “OTA Loan”), pursuant to the terms of a Revised Master Loan Participation Agreement, dated December 13, 2005 (the “Master Loan Participation Agreement”), which participation interest was, pursuant to a Participation Reduction Agreement with LBHI dated February 26, 2008 (the “Reduction Agreement”) subsequently reduced from $100 million to $5 million (as so reduced and amended, the “OTA Participation Interest”);

WHEREAS, following the reduction in the OTA Participation Interest and the assignments and transfers described above, Woodlands continued to properly receive payments of interest attributable to the OTA Participation Interest until on or about October 2, 2008, when MetLife claims to have perfected its security interest in the OTA Loan, including, erroneously, the OTA Participation Interest, and seized the collateral to satisfy obligations owed to it by the Trust pursuant to the Note Purchase Agreement. From and after the date of such seizure by MetLife, Woodlands has not received any payments of interest or principal attributable to the OTA Participation Interest;

WHEREAS, Woodlands asserts that LBHI and LCPI wrongfully assigned and transferred the OTA Loan without making provision for the OTA Participation Interest, with a resulting loss to Woodlands of the value of the OTA Participation Interest in the amount of at least $5,168,738, and Woodlands timely filed claims against LBHI and LCPI (the “Participation Interest Claims”) in the Bankruptcy Cases for said amount, as well as for all accrued interest attributable to the OTA Participation Interest from and after October 2008 that Woodlands otherwise would have received had LBHI and/or LCPI not erroneously assigned the OTA Loan

WHEREAS, Section 3 of the Master Forward Agreement generally provides that, as of the last business day of each calendar quarter (a “Reset Date”), the fair market value of the Loans on Woodlands’ books would be determined and, if the fair market value of such Loans decreased since the last Reset Date and/or the date such Loans were originated, LCPI would, under certain circumstances, be obligated to make a cash payment (a “Cash Settlement Amount”) to Woodlands, as determined in accordance with the provisions of the Master Forward Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Tax Claim, the LBSF ISDA Claims, the FPA Claims, the Participation Interest Claims, the MFA Claims, the Fee Claim, the LBCS ISDA Claims, the Pending Litigation Claims, the Indemnification Claims, the Affiliate Obligation Claims, the Ashmore Funding Commitment Claim, and the Other Loan Funding Commitment Claims shall be referred to herein, collectively, as the “Claims”;

WHEREAS, except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties desire to resolve and settle on the terms and conditions set forth herein the Claims, and (i) such other claims of Woodlands against LBHI to the extent that any such claims are known to Woodlands as of the date hereof and arise out of or by reason of any actions, omissions or events occurring, or circumstances existing, on or prior to March 31, 2010 and (ii) such other claims of LBHI and its subsidiaries (other than Woodlands) against Woodlands to the extent that any such claims are known to LBHI or its subsidiaries (other than Woodlands) as of the date hereof and arise out of or by reason of actions, omissions or events occurring, or circumstances existing, on or prior to March 31, 2010 ;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the undertakings, agreements and other consideration provided for herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows, subject to the receipt of the required approval of the Bankruptcy Court and non-objections by the FDIC and the Utah Department of Financial Institutions and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth in Section 13 hereof:

1. Tax Allocations/TAA.

(a) Resolution of Tax Liabilities for the Pre-2010 Taxable Years.

 

12


(i) In full satisfaction of all amounts owing and obligations arising under the TAA between LBHI and its subsidiaries (other than Woodlands), on the one hand, and Woodlands, on the other hand, for the taxable years ended before January 1, 2010 (the “Pre-2010 Taxable Years”), the following shall occur on the Effective Date: all accounts payable owing by Woodlands to LBHI for payments under the TAA shall be cancelled, and LBHI shall pay Woodlands $36,224,442 (the “Tax Payment Amount”), which amount is included in and forms part of the Effective Date Cash Payment portion of the Settlement Payment provided for in Section 2(a) below). Such cancellation and payment shall be in full and final satisfaction of all rights and obligations between the Parties (together with their subsidiaries) with respect to federal, state and local tax liabilities (including any and all liabilities under the TAA or otherwise) reported or reportable on Federal Consolidated Returns or State Combined Returns that were filed or required to be filed for Pre-2010 Taxable Years, and the TAA shall thereupon be deemed terminated in full without liability on the part of any party in connection with such termination, other than any liability for obligations arising under this Agreement (including, without limitation, those set forth in Sections 1(a)(ii) and 1(b) below).

(ii) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the satisfaction of rights and obligations, and the termination of the TAA, all as described in Section 1(a)(i) above, shall have the following consequences, among others: (A) except as provided in (B), (C) and (D) of this Section 1(a)(ii), no additional payments shall be due from or to Woodlands with respect to taxes (including amounts payable under the TAA) relating to Federal Consolidated Returns and State Combined Returns for Pre-2010 Taxable Years, including any such payment obligations that might otherwise arise under the TAA as a result of any adjustments from any pending or future examinations of Pre-2010 Taxable Years by any taxing authority, (B) if Woodlands shall be required to pay any additional amounts to a tax authority with respect to taxes that are the subject of the TAA, LBHI shall reimburse Woodlands for such amounts, including, without limitation, any taxes due and owing, together with any costs, expenses, penalties, fines, charges, and any reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and expenses incurred by Woodlands in connection therewith (provided that Woodlands promptly notifies LBHI of any asserted liability and gives LBHI a reasonable opportunity to defend and challenge such asserted liability, with the reasonable cooperation of Woodlands), (C) any refund or credit received by Woodlands of taxes reported on Federal Consolidated Returns or State Combined Returns for Pre-2010 Taxable Years that are the subject of the TAA shall be promptly remitted to LBHI, and (D) Woodlands shall be required to pay, and shall be entitled to receive and retain, any deficiencies, or refunds, of taxes reported or reportable on state or local tax returns that were filed or required to be filed by Woodlands on a separate basis (including with its subsidiaries) and not on a combined basis with LBHI or any of LBHI’s subsidiaries.

(b) Execution of New Tax Allocation Agreement. Woodlands and LBHI have agreed upon the material terms of a new tax allocation agreement, the form of which is attached as Exhibit A (the “New TAA”). The New TAA is intended, among other things, to (i) be effective for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2010, and for all subsequent taxable years in which Woodlands is included in the Federal Consolidated Returns or any State Combined Returns with LBHI and other members of the Affiliated Group, (ii) provide that any 2008 NOL attributable to Woodlands in excess of $301,737,169 is carried forward to 2010 and subsequent taxable years (and such excess shall not be treated as carried back or forward to any Pre-2010 Taxable Years) for purposes of the New TAA, in recognition that $135,511,213 of the 2008

 

13


NOL was treated as carried back and that $166,225,956 of the 2008 NOL was treated as carried forward to 2009 for purposes of computing the Tax Payment Amount with respect to the Pre-2010 Taxable Years, (iii) provide for payments from Woodlands to LBHI, and remittances from LBHI to Woodlands, as if Woodlands (together with its subsidiaries, to the extent applicable) filed a separate tax return for federal, state and local tax purposes, such payments and remittances to be made on the same basis as provided in Section 5 of the TAA, (iv) provide that in calculating 2010 and future taxable income, Woodlands’s tax attributes as of January 1, 2010 will be calculated in a manner consistent with the tax accounting workpapers that support Woodlands’s financial statements as of December 31, 2009, based on which the Tax Payment Amount was determined (regardless of any adjustment to Pre-2010 Taxable Years by any taxing authority or Woodlands that would have an effect on post-2009 taxable years), (v) provide that, upon a deconsolidation of Woodlands as a result of which Woodlands is no longer required or permitted to join in the Federal Consolidated Returns or any State Combined Returns, the New TAA shall terminate and no other amounts shall be payable under the New TAA with respect to Federal Consolidated Returns and State Combined Returns, except with respect to any amount due to or from Woodlands as of the date of deconsolidation, and (vi) shall contain terms that, except as otherwise provided herein, are substantially the same as the terms of the TAA. In this regard, the New TAA shall be executed and delivered by LBHI and Woodlands on the Effective Date and the Approval Order (as defined below) shall provide that, on the Effective Date, the New TAA will be effective and binding upon the parties for all purposes in the Bankruptcy Cases.

2. Resolution of the Settled Claims.

(a) The Settlement. In settlement and resolution of each of the (i) Tax Claim; (ii) LBSF ISDA Claims, (ii) FPA Claims, (iii) Participation Interest Claims, (iv) MFA Claims, (v) Fee Claim, (vi) LBCS ISDA Claims, and (vii) Affiliate Obligation Claims (collectively, the “Settled Claims”), and in consideration of the Parties entering into the covenants, agreements and undertakings contained herein, LBHI and/or one or more of the other Lehman Entities, as applicable, shall on the Effective Date, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Parties, effectuate the following, all of which together constitute and are referred to herein as the “Settlement”:

(A) LBHI and/or certain of the other Lehman Entities shall pay (divided among LBHI and such Lehman Entities as they may determine) to Woodlands cash in the amount of $75 million (the “Effective Date Cash Payment”).

(B) LBHI shall execute and deliver an appropriate termination agreement, whereby the Contribution Agreement shall be terminated and shall thereupon be null and void and of no force or effect, and the Parties shall take any and all additional steps and execute such other documents as may be necessary to effect such termination of the Contribution Agreement so as to ensure that any and all amounts payable on account of the Municipal Bond Claim in the SIPA Proceedings are made payable to Woodlands and not LBHI.

(b) Allocation of the Settlement. The Parties agree that such portion of the Settlement transferred to and/or realized by Woodlands pursuant to Section 2(a) above shall be

 

14


allocated first to satisfaction of the Tax Payment Amount. The remaining value of the Settlement transferred to Woodlands pursuant to Section 2(a) above shall be in full settlement and satisfaction of the other Settled Claims, other than the Tax Claim, or shall be treated as a contribution of capital by LBHI to Woodlands, as determined by Woodlands in its sole and absolute discretion.

(c) Termination of the Settled Claims Operative Documents. Each of the operative documents giving rise to the Settled Claims, other than the Forward Purchase Agreements (such operative documents to which Woodlands and a Debtor are parties, together with any and all related documents and agreements by and among Woodlands and a Debtor, the “Settled Claims Operative Documents”) shall be deemed rejected and terminated as of the Effective Date upon implementation of the Settlement, and none of the Parties shall thereafter have any further claims, demands, liabilities and causes of action, including, without limitation, any potential claims whatsoever, on account of, in relation to or arising under the Settled Claims Operative Documents by reason of such rejection or termination or otherwise, all of which claims, potential claims, demands, liabilities and causes of action shall be deemed waived and/or released, other than in respect of the Settlement and the respective obligations of the Parties hereunder.

3. Forward Purchase Agreements and Mirror Agreements.

(a) Forward Purchase Agreements. In further settlement and resolution of the Settled Claims, including, without limitation, the FPA Claims, the Lehman Entities, for themselves and on behalf of their affiliated debtor-entities in the Bankruptcy Cases set forth on Schedule III hereto (such affiliated debtor-entities, the “Other Lehman Debtors”), shall, on the Effective Date, be deemed to have waived any and all rights, title and interest in respect of each Forward Purchase Agreement such that Woodlands shall thereupon be permitted to exercise any of its rights in, under or regarding each such Forward Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the right to transfer, sell or assign its interests therein, to any third party, free and clear of all claims or interests of the Lehman Entities and the Other Lehman Debtors therein, without any obligation or accountability to the Lehman Entities or the Other Lehman Debtors in respect thereof, including, without limitation, by reason of Woodlands’ performance under any such Forward Purchase Agreement or the transfer, sale or assignment thereof, and to that end the Lehman Entities shall take such actions and execute or cause to be executed such other documents as may be necessary to evidence the waiver and/or termination of any and all interests of the Lehman Entities and the Other Lehman Debtors in each of the Forward Purchase Agreements.

(b) Mirror Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to Section 2 above, each Mirror Agreement shall be deemed rejected and terminated, as of the Effective Date, and none of the Parties shall have any further claims, demands, liabilities and causes of action, including, without limitation, any potential claims whatsoever, on account of, in relation to or arising under the Mirror Agreements by reason of such rejection or termination or otherwise, all of which claims, potential claims, demands, liabilities and causes of action shall be deemed waived and/or released.

 

15


4. Ashmore Funding Commitment Claim.

(a) Ashmore Participation Interest. In settlement of the Ashmore Funding Commitment Claim, upon the Effective Date, LCPI shall be deemed to have released any right, title or interest it has or may have, on account of the Ashmore Participation Interest or otherwise, in or to the approximately $6.7 million of the Ashmore Commitment agreed to be funded by Woodlands (the “$6.7 million loan”), and shall have no right, title or interest in or to any amounts (including, without limitation, principal or interest), paid or repaid to Woodlands on account of the $6.7 million loan. The Parties shall take any and all additional steps and execute or cause to be executed such other documents as may be necessary to effect such release so as to ensure that any and all amounts payable on account of the $6.7 million loan are made payable to Woodlands and not LCPI.

(b) Ashmore Unfunded Commitment. Upon the Effective Date, LCPI shall be deemed to have reaffirmed and assumed all of their funding obligations incident to the Ashmore Unfunded Commitment and, in this regard, if and to the extent that any draw request shall thereafter be made on the Ashmore Unfunded Commitment, LCPI shall timely fund such draw request in accordance with the Master Participation Agreement and the applicable financing agreements (such commitment, as and to the extent funded by LCPI, the “LCPI/Ashmore Loan.”) LCPI and Woodlands agree that the portion of any repayment of principal made on such loan that would otherwise by attributable to the LCPI/Ashmore Loan shall, as between Woodlands and LCPI, first be applied to Woodlands’ account in respect of the $6.7 million loan and only after the $6.7 million loan has been repaid in full will repayments otherwise attributable to the LCPI/Ashmore Loan be applied to LCPI’s account.

5. Other Loan Funding Commitment Claims, Pending Litigation Claims and Indemnification Claims. In settlement and resolution of the Other Loan Funding Commitment Claims, the Pending Litigation Claims and the Indemnification Claims, upon the Effective Date, LBHI and the applicable Lehman Entities shall be deemed to have (a) reaffirmed and assumed the funding obligations incident to the Participation Interests, and, in accordance therewith, shall timely fund all amounts due and owing on the loan commitments to which its Participation Interests relate as and when due, (b) reaffirmed and agreed to indemnify and hold Woodlands harmless from any losses, costs and damages (including, without limitation, any legal expenses), Woodlands may suffer or incur incident to, arising under, or as a result of any lawsuits giving rise to any Pending Litigation Claims and (c) reaffirmed and assumed any agreements giving rise to any Indemnification Claims to the extent such agreements provide for indemnity; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to limit the rights of Woodlands to manage and settle, in their reasonable discretion, any claims or disputes giving rise to any Pending Litigation Claims, Indemnification Claims, or any claims incident to the Participating Interests, and provided further that Woodlands shall, upon request, keep LBHI reasonably informed of and cooperate with LBHI with respect to any litigation in respect of any such claims. In the event pursuant to the foregoing indemnity LBHI or another applicable Lehman Entity shall pay in respect of any loan funding obligation liabilities representing a principal amount to be loaned (including a settlement payment in lieu of the funding of a loan) and in connection therewith Woodlands would otherwise receive any creditor rights in respect of such principal amount loaned, Woodlands shall assign all creditor rights so received on account of such principal amount loaned to LBHI or such other Lehman Entity, so that LBHI or such Lehman Entity shall be in the same position it would have been in if in respect of such liability it were Woodlands.

 

16


6. Mutual Releases. On the Effective Date, Woodlands, on the one hand, and each of the Lehman Entities and the Other Lehman Debtors, on the other hand, shall execute and deliver mutual releases in the forms for Woodlands and LBHI attached hereto as Exhibits B and C, respectively, whereby such Party will release and waive or cause to be released and waived on its behalf, and on behalf of its related parties identified in such form, any and all claims, demands, liabilities and causes of action, both in law and in equity, that it has, had or claims to have or have had or hereafter can, may or shall have against the other and its related parties (as identified in such form of release) from the beginning of time and arising out of actions, omissions or events occurring, or circumstances existing, on or prior to March 31, 2010, except as otherwise provided in such form of release; provided, however, that nothing in any such release shall release the Parties from their obligations under (a) this Agreement, (b) under any agreements, instruments or related documents executed pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise in accordance with or necessary to implement the Settlement or any of the transactions or agreements provided for or contemplated herein or (c) the other agreements between or among the Parties in effect and still to be performed at the Effective Date identified in the form of release.

The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, except as provided in Section 5 above, this Agreement does not, and is not intended to, resolve any of the Other Loan Funding Commitment Claims, Pending Litigation Claims, or Indemnification Claims to the extent that any such claim on the date hereof is unliquidated and each of the Parties reserves all of their rights in this regard, including the right to make claims and/or reach agreements to settle all such matters at a later date. In addition, the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that this Agreement does not, and is not intended to address or resolve (i) any indemnification or contribution obligations of LBHI or any of its subsidiaries to Woodlands or any of its subsidiaries, or any other intercompany claims, in each case not yet known to Woodlands as of the date hereof, or any indemnification or contribution obligations of Woodlands to LBHI and its subsidiaries, or any other intercompany claims, in each case not yet known to LBHI or its subsidiaries as of the date hereof; (ii) any claim that Woodlands or its respective current or former directors, officers and employees have under (A) any insurance policies that are or were maintained by LBHI or (B) the bylaws or certificate of incorporation of LBHI or Bancorp; and (iii) any claim that Woodlands may have against LBHI under the guarantee issued by LBHI in favor of Woodlands with regard to an ISDA Master Agreement and related transactions involving Lehman Brothers Finance AG (all of such claims, collectively, the “Unsettled Claims”), and that each of the Parties hereby reserves all of their respective rights and remedies in respect of such matters, including the right to make claims and/or reach agreements to settle such claims or matters at a later date, subject to any applicable requirements of the Bankruptcy Code.

7. Release of Security Agreement Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the release provided to be received by LBHI by Section 6, upon payment in full of the Effective Date Cash Payment, the termination of the Contribution Agreement and the execution and delivery of the Capital Maintenance Agreement, all as herein provided, Woodlands’ security interest in the Security Agreement Collateral shall be deemed terminated and released, and Woodlands shall, promptly upon the request of LBHI, execute such termination statements under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction, and take such other actions and execute such other instruments, as may be reasonably necessary to effect the termination and

 

17


release of the security interests and rights granted to Woodlands to the Security Agreement Collateral under the Security Agreement.

8. Capital Maintenance Agreement. In consideration of the agreements and undertakings provided for herein, LBHI shall, on the Effective Date, execute and deliver a Capital Maintenance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D providing for maintenance of Woodlands’ Tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios at 11% and 15%, respectively, for the term of the Capital Maintenance Agreement, as provided for therein. Upon effectiveness of the Capital Maintenance Agreement, the capital commitment of LBHI to Woodlands under Section 2 of the Contribution Agreement shall terminate and the provisions of such section shall be of no further force or effect.

9. Transactions after March 31, 2010. Nothing contained herein is intended to, or shall be applied, to relieve the Lehman Entities, Woodlands or their respective subsidiaries, from any of their obligations to the other that have arisen or do arise as a result of actions, omission or events occurring, or circumstances first existing, after March 31, 2010, including accounts payable or receivable arising in the ordinary course of business.

10. Further Assurances. Each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts after the Effective Date to execute and deliver such instruments, certifications, reports and other documents, and to take such other actions, as may be reasonably requested by another Party in order to perfect or confirm or give effect to the transactions and releases contemplated by this Agreement.

Exhibit A

Form of New Tax Allocation Agreement

[To be attached]


TAX ALLOCATION AGREEMENT

This Tax Allocation Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made as of the Effective Date, as defined below, by and between Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LBHI”), and Woodlands Commercial Bank (f/k/a Lehman Brothers Commercial Bank), a Utah industrial bank and an indirect subsidiary of LBHI (“Woodlands”) and its operating subsidiaries, if any (the “Bank”) (the foregoing collectively referred to as the “Parties” or in the singular as a “Party”).

WHEREAS, LBHI is the parent corporation of an affiliated group of corporations (the “Group”) within the meaning of §1504(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (including the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Code”), and such Group includes the Bank;

WHEREAS, LBHI has commenced a case under chapter 11 of title 11 of the U.S. Code in the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”);

WHEREAS, LBHI and the Bank have been operating under a Tax Allocation Agreement, effective as of August 24, 2005 (the “Prior TAA”), which provides for the allocation of the Bank’s federal, state and local tax liabilities and benefits between the Parties;

WHEREAS, LBHI and the Bank entered into a Settlement Agreement, which provides for the settlement of claims relating to certain inter-company arrangements (including the Prior TAA) between the Bank, on the one hand, and LBHI and various other LBHI subsidiaries, on the other hand;

WHEREAS, among other things, the Settlement Agreement resolves and settles all claims and obligations of the Parties relating to amounts owed and obligations arising under the Prior TAA for the taxable years ended before January 1, 2010 (the “Pre-2010 Taxable Years”);

WHEREAS, at the time this Agreement is being executed and delivered the Settlement Agreement shall have become effective;

WHEREAS, in accordance with the Settlement Agreement, the Prior TAA is being terminated as of the Effective Date of this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed in the Settlement Agreement to enter into a new tax allocation agreement containing terms and conditions substantially the same as those provided herein;


NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the Parties agree as follows:

Section 1 -

Effective Date and Scope of

Tax Allocation Agreement

1.01 Effective Date. This Agreement is effective as of January 1, 2010.

1.02 Scope. This Agreement applies to the allocation of federal, state and local tax liabilities and benefits for the taxable year beginning January 1, 2010, and for all subsequent taxable years in which the Bank is included in the consolidated U.S. federal income tax returns or in any state or local combined returns with LBHI and other members of the Group.

Section 2 -

Agreement to File

Consolidated Federal Income Tax Returns and Pay Tax

2.01 Agreement to File. The Parties hereby agree that the Bank will continue to be included in the Group’s consolidated U.S. federal income tax return, so long as the Bank is a member of the Group, except (if applicable) in the event that the Bank were electively deconsolidated pursuant to Treas. Reg. § 1.597-4(g).

2.02 Elections. All elections that are available to the Group or any of its members under the Code, relating to the filing of consolidated federal income tax returns, shall be made by LBHI at its sole discretion in determining the LBHI Group’s tax liability, provided that any such elections affecting the Bank shall be made by LBHI in good faith and shall not materially increase the Bank’s tax liability in comparison to what the Bank’s tax liability would be had it filed its returns on a separate basis.

2.03 Payment of Tax. LBHI will remit the Group’s federal income tax liability to the appropriate government agency, including estimated taxes, on behalf of the Group.

Section 3 -

Agreement to File

State and Local Income Tax Returns As Appropriate

3.01 Filing State and Local Income Tax Returns. The Parties hereby agree that the LBHI shall determine the methodology and format for the filing of state and local income tax returns by the Bank, including the inclusion of the Bank in combined, affiliated or consolidated returns where appropriate. Such determination shall be made by the LBHI Corporate Tax Department in accordance with the applicable statutes and rules of each particular jurisdiction.

 

2


3.02 Elections. As relates to any state or local combined, affiliated or consolidated income tax returns, all elections that are available to the filing group or any of its members shall be made by LBHI at its sole discretion in determining the filing group’s tax liability provided that any such elections affecting the Bank shall be made by LBHI in good faith and shall not materially increase the Bank’s tax liability in comparison to what the Bank’s tax liability would be had it filed its returns on a separate basis.

Section 4 -

Allocation of Tax Liability

4.01 Federal Income Tax Liability or Benefit. The current federal income tax liability or benefit of the Bank will be computed by multiplying the Bank’s separate entity taxable income or loss by 35% (or the applicable federal statutory income tax rate). LBHI’s Corporate Tax Department will be responsible for the calculation of, as well as making all decisions impacting, the federal consolidated income tax return of the Group.

4.02 Unutilized Federal Income Tax Loss or Benefit. Should the Bank have an income tax loss or benefit that could not be utilized either currently or in a carryback year on a separate entity basis, but which is utilized in whole or part in a current or prior consolidated return, the Bank’s tax liability or benefit will be adjusted accordingly.

4.03 Consolidated Federal Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) Liability. The Bank’s tax liability will be adjusted to reflect, if applicable, its AMT liability on a separate entity basis. The Bank, if it has a liability for an AMT, will be entitled to an AMT credit when, and if, such credit is recognized on the Group’s consolidated income tax return.

4.04 State and Local Income/Franchise Tax Liability or Benefit. The state and local income/franchise tax liability or benefit of the Bank will be computed based on the Bank’s separate entity taxable income multiplied by the applicable jurisdiction’s respective allocation factors and tax rates. A state and local income/franchise tax liability based on an alternative tax method will be allocated to the Bank to the extent it has an alternative liability on a separate entity basis. It is the intent of the Parties hereto that the concepts and methods defined in this Agreement for allocation of federal income taxes be applied in a similar manner to tax liability assessed by state and local taxing jurisdictions where there is combined tax liability between the Parties.

4.05 2008 Net Operating Losses. Any net operating loss of the Bank for the 2008 taxable year (the “2008 NOL”) shall be treated, for federal income tax purposes, as having been carried back to pre-2008 taxable years to the extent of $135,511,213 and carried forward to 2009 to the extent of $166,225,956. Any amount of the 2008 NOL in excess of $301,737,169 shall be carried forward in calculating the Bank’s federal income tax liability (or refunds) for 2010 and future years for all purposes of this Agreement. The portion of the Bank’s 2008 net operating losses treated as allocable to a state or locality in which the Bank joined in filing combined returns with LBHI or other members of the LBHI Group for 2008 shall also be carried forward in calculating the Bank’s tax liability (or refunds) for that state or locality for 2010 and future years for all purposes of this

 

3


Agreement, but only to the extent such 2008 net operating losses allocable to that state or locality were not carried back to pre-2008 taxable years in calculating refunds for that state or locality that were included in the Tax Payment Amount (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) or carried forward in calculating the Bank’s tax liability for that state or locality for 2009. The net operating losses for 2008 treated as carried forward to 2010 or subsequent years for federal, state and local tax purposes under the preceding two sentences, as well as net operating losses arising in 2010 and subsequent years, shall not be carried back to pre-2008 years for purposes of this Agreement, regardless of any election that LBHI may have as a result of any change in law or otherwise.

4.06 Other Pre-2010 Tax Carry Forwards. This section shall apply if the Bank is determined to have tax benefits, other than the 2008 NOLs, including without limitation any tax credits, for Pre-2010 Taxable Years that could be carried forward for federal, state or local tax purposes if the Bank were filing its tax returns on a separate entity basis (“Other Pre-2010 Tax Carry Forwards”). In that event, the Other Pre-2010 Tax Carry Forwards shall be available to be used by the Bank in calculating its federal, state or local tax liabilities for 2010 and future years for all purposes of this Agreement, but only to the extent such amounts were not used in calculating the Tax Payment Amount (as defined in the Settlement Agreement).

Section 5 -

Deferred Taxes

5.01 Amount of Deferred Taxes. Deferred taxes, reflected either as an asset or liability, shall be computed by the Bank on a separate entity basis.

5.02 No Payment for Deferred Taxes. The Bank will not tender or accept payment relative to its separately computed deferred tax liabilities/benefits.

Section 6 -

Refund and Payment

6.01 Payment of Tax. Payments of tax by the Bank to LBHI shall equal the amount which the Bank has recorded as its current income/franchise tax liability on a separate entity basis. Estimated tax payments shall be made to LBHI by the Bank at the same time at which the Bank would have been required to tender such amount to the appropriate tax authority had it filed as a separate entity.

6.02 Income Tax Benefit. LBHI will pay the Bank for separate company net operating losses, capital loss carryovers, charitable contributions, Section 1231 gains and losses, general business credits, and other tax benefits (collectively, “Losses”) generated by it, that are used in the consolidated return of the Group to the extent those Losses may be utilized by the Bank on a separate return basis as follows: Should the Bank incur Losses for income tax return purposes that it could utilize currently if it filed its return on a separate entity basis, it will record a current income tax benefit. Within a reasonable time

 

4


(not to exceed thirty (30) days) of the date when the Bank would have filed its return utilizing such Losses, if it had been on a separate entity filing basis, it will be entitled to receive a refund from LBHI in an amount no less than the amount of the income tax benefit derived from such Losses. This refund shall be tendered to the Bank regardless of whether the Group is receiving a refund.

Section 7 -

Recomputations and Adjustments

7.01 IRS or Other Taxing Authority’s Adjustment of Group Tax Liability. If any item of income, loss, expense, or a credit for Taxable Year 2010, or for any subsequent taxable year for which this Agreement is in effect, is changed or adjusted by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or other taxing authority, and such change or adjustment is part of a final determination, then the Parties hereby agree that the calculation of the separate tax of the Bank shall be recomputed so as to reflect such revision. Appropriate payments will be tendered by or to the Bank, if required as a result of such recomputation. The Bank will be charged or credited with interest and/or penalties resulting from such adjustments and recomputations.

7.02 Other Recomputations. If there is any change of or adjustment to any item relating to the computation of payments under this Agreement of a type not provided for in Section 7.01 above (such as a recomputation of amounts due hereunder to reflect a carryback of an item of loss or credit, or a correction of any erroneous calculation previously made hereunder), then the Bank shall make or receive such payments as may be necessary and appropriate to reflect the intent of this Agreement.

7.03 Pre-2010 Taxable Years. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, no recomputation or adjustment shall be made under this Agreement based on any change or adjustment of items in Pre-2010 Taxable Years, whether such changes or adjustments are made by federal or state tax authorities or otherwise. Provided, that if federal, state or local tax authorities disallow net operating losses or other tax benefits claimed by the Bank in 2010 or a subsequent year and require such items to be taken instead in a Pre-2010 Taxable Year, any increase in the amount of the 2008 NOL or the Other Pre-2010 Tax Carry Forwards resulting from such change or adjustment shall be carried forward from such Pre-2010 Taxable Year and used in calculating the tax liability (or refunds) of the Bank for 2010 and later years.

Section 8 -

Miscellaneous Provisions

8.01 Foreign Tax Liabilities. It is the intent of the Parties hereto that the concepts and methods defined herein for allocation of federal, state and local income taxes also be applied in a similar manner to any tax liability assessed by foreign taxing jurisdictions where there is a combined tax liability between the Parties.

 

5


8.02 Basis of Certain Computations. In calculating the Bank’s taxable income for purposes of this Agreement for 2010 and any future taxable year, the Bank’s tax attributes as of January 1, 2010 will be calculated in a manner consistent with the tax accounting workpapers that support the Bank’s financial statements as of December 31, 2009 (regardless of any adjustment to Pre-2010 Taxable Years by any taxing authority or the Bank that would have an effect on post-2009 taxable years).

8.03 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of the Parties hereto, but no assignment shall relieve any party’s obligations hereunder without the written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

8.04 Entire Understanding; Amendment. This Agreement contains the entire understanding of the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein. This Agreement may not be amended without the written consent of each of the Parties hereto.

8.05 Governing Law; Exclusive Jurisdiction. The validity, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement shall be controlled and construed under the laws of the State of Delaware. The parties agree that, without limiting any party’s right to appeal to final decision, the appropriate and exclusive forum for resolving any disputes between the parties arising out of this Agreement shall be the Bankruptcy Court, or, if such court will not hear any such suit, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and, the parties hereto irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, and agree to comply with all requirements necessary to give such courts jurisdiction.

8.06 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

8.07 Termination. Upon deconsolidation of the Bank from the Group for federal income tax purposes, this Agreement shall terminate and no further amounts shall be payable under this Agreement, except for amounts owing to the Bank or LBHI for the periods through the date of deconsolidation; provided, however, that, if the Bank continues to file on a combined, affiliated or consolidated basis with LBHI for state or local income/franchise tax purposes, this Agreement shall continue to apply in respect of such taxes.

8.08 Compliance with Interagency Policy Statement. The Parties intend that this Agreement shall be construed and applied in a manner that complies with the provisions of the Interagency Policy Statement on Income Tax Allocation In a Holding Company Structure, 63 Fed. Reg. 64757, November 23, 1998, part II, Interagency Policy Statement, and in the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the

ARTICLES

I. ENFORCEMENT OF AGREEMENT.

A. This Agreement shall be enforceable as a “written agreement” entered into with an agency within the meaning and for purposes of Sections 8 and 50 of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (“FDIA”), as amended (12 USC §§ 1818 and 1831aa) and Sections 7-1-307 and 7-1-501 of the Utah Code against the Parent and the Bank.

B. This Agreement shall not be enforceable as a written agreement, order, capital directive or prompt corrective action directive issued by FDIC” requiring the Bankto meet and maintain a specific capital level” for purposes of 12 C.F.R. § 325.103.

II. CAPITAL ASSURANCES.

A. Subject to the required approval referred to in Article IV, during the term of this Agreement and except as otherwise provided herein, the Parents will make such capital contributions as may be necessary from time to time to ensure that the Bank has sufficient capital to have Leverage and Total Risk-Based Capital ratios of 11% and 15%, respectively (hereinafter the “Minimum Capital Requirements”); all terms relating to capital shall be defined and calculated in accordance with Part 325 of the FDIC’s Rules and Regulations, 12 C.F.R. Part 325.

B. Subject to the required approvals referred to in Article IV, the Parents agree that if, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Bank’s capital level falls below one or both of the Minimum Capital Requirements (a “Capital Deficiency”), then the Parents will, within five (5) business days after the occurrence of any of the events referred to in 12 C.F.R. § 325.102(b) with respect to such Capital Deficiency, contribute additional capital, in cash, in an amount sufficient to cause the Bank’s capital to meet the Minimum Capital Requirements; provided that such time period for compliance may be extended, or an alternate

 

2


form of the capital contribution may be permitted, if approved by both the appropriate Regional Director of the FDIC and the Commissioner of the Utah DFI in their sole discretions; and further provided that, in the event the Bank is less than wholly-owned by the Parent or Ultimate Parent, then the Parent shall be entitled, upon its contribution of such additional capital, to receive from the Bank additional shares of common stock of the Bank having a value equal to the capital contributed by the Parent at a price per share mutually agreed upon by the Parent and the Bank so as to prevent dilution of the Parent’s interest in the Bank. The Parent and the Bank hereby agree to use reasonable efforts to promptly obtain or provide all corporate, regulatory and other approvals necessary to authorize the issuance of such common stock to Parent.

C. The Parents and Bank agree that prior to the end of the eighteenth (18th) month after the Effective Date , the Bank will wind down its assets and liabilities in accordance with the terms of a strategic plan which the FDIC and Utah DFI have reviewed and provided written non-objections.

B. During the term of this Agreement, without obtaining the prior written approval or non-objection of the Utah DFI and the FDIC, (i) the Ultimate Parent may not transfer or dispose of voting stock or other securities of the Parent if such transaction would cause the Ultimate Parent to no longer control the Parent and (ii) the Parent may not transfer or dispose of voting stock or other securities of the Bank if such transaction would cause the Parent to no longer control the Bank.
