The obligations of the Company under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority pledge of all of the equity interests of Bank of Manhattan, N.A. (the Bank) pursuant to a Stock Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of July 25, 2011, made by the Company in favor of the Agent on behalf of the Lenders (the Pledge Agreement).
Loans under the Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of 8.0% per annum and have a final maturity date of June 30, 2012. The Company is permitted to make voluntary prepayments at any time without payment of a premium, and is required to make mandatory prepayments (without payment of a premium) with (i) net cash proceeds from certain issuances of capital stock, (ii) net cash proceeds from certain issuances of debt, and (iii) net cash proceeds from certain asset sales.
The Credit Agreement provides for the Company to pay a facility fee of $100,000 upon execution of the Credit Agreement, and an additional facility fee of $40,000 upon the first to occur of the issuance of a commitment by the Lenders to provide the Optional Loan or the funding of the Optional Loan.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and its subsidiaries, including, among other things, restrictions on liens, indebtedness, investments, acquisitions, dispositions, affiliate transactions, leases, fundamental changes, and dividends and other distributions. The Company is required to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth of $18 million plus the net cash proceeds of any issuance of capital stock by the Company after July 25, 2011, and a total tier one leverage capital ratio of 10.0%. The Bank is required to maintain risk based capital and tier one leverage capital ratios of not less than 10.0% and 12.0%, respectively.
The Credit Agreement also provides that the Company may not issue or sell any shares of its common stock (Common Stock), or other securities representing the right to acquire shares of Common Stock, representing more than 4.9% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, or any shares of preferred stock other than pursuant to the Small Business Lending Fund. In addition, if the Company offers for sale any shares of Common Stock or other securities in a public offering or private placement, the Agent or its designees or affiliates are entitled to purchase any such securities that are not subscribed for and purchased by other investors at the same price and on such other financial terms as such securities are offered and sold to other investors.

(b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the

ARTICLE VIII
The Administrative Agent
Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of
whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right,
in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in Los Angeles, California, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agents resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

(c) Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto.

SECTION 9.02. Waivers; Amendments.
(a) No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.
(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the scheduled date of expiration of any Commitment, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.12(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, or (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of Required Lenders or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.
(a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent, in connection with the Transactions, including any syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation and administration of this Agreement or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement, including its rights under this Section, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.
(b) The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an Indemnitee) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee, incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(c) To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lenders Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such.
(d) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages and attorneys fees, court costs and other expenses of enforcing such claim or claims) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.
(e) All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than 15 days after written demand therefor.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a Participant) in all or a portion of such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lenders obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement.

The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.11 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section.

The provisions of Sections 2.09 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 9.06. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 9.07. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

(c) The Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(d) Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 9.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AT THE TIME OF THE INSTITUTION OF ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 9.11. Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Exhibit 10.2
STOCK PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT
STOCK PLEDGE AND SECURITY AGREEMENT dated as of July 25, 2011, made by the Borrower referred to below (the Pledgor), in favor of Carpenter Fund Management Company, LLC, in its capacity as administrative agent (in such capacity, the Administrative Agent) on behalf of the Lenders referred to below.
W I T N E S S E T H:
A. Manhattan Bancorp, a California corporation (Borrower), the lenders from time to time party thereto (each a Lender and collectively the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent are parties to a Credit Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (such agreement, as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, being hereinafter referred to as the Credit Agreement), pursuant to which the Lenders have agreed to make certain loans (collectively, the Loans) to the Borrower.
B. It is a condition precedent to the making of any Loans by the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement that the Pledgor shall have executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent a stock pledge and security agreement providing for the pledge to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, and the grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, of a security interest in and Lien on the outstanding shares of Capital Stock (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from time to time owned by the Pledgor of the Bank of Manhattan, N.A., a national banking association (the Pledged Issuer).
C. Pledgor has determined that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement directly benefit, and are in the best interest of the Pledgor.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements herein and in order to induce the Lenders to make and maintain the Loans pursuant to the Credit Agreement, Pledgor hereby agrees with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions. Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement for a statement of the terms thereof. All terms used in this Agreement which are defined in the Credit Agreement or in Article 8 or Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (the UCC) in effect from time to time in the State of California and which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the same meanings herein as set forth therein; provided, that terms used herein which are defined in the UCC as in effect in the State of California on the date hereof shall continue to have the same meaning notwithstanding any replacement or amendment of such statute except as the Administrative Agent may otherwise determine.
SECTION 2. Pledge and Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for all of the Obligations (as defined in Section 3 hereof), Pledgor hereby pledges and assigns to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a continuing security interest in and Lien on the Pledgors right, title and interest in and to the following (the Pledged Collateral):
(a) the shares of Capital Stock or other equity interests described in Schedule I hereto (the Pledged Shares), whether or not evidenced or represented by any stock
certificate, certificated security or other instrument, issued by the Pledged Issuer, the certificates representing the Pledged Shares, all options and other rights, contractual or otherwise, in respect thereof and all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments, investment property and other property (including but not limited to, any stock dividend and any distribution in connection with a stock split) from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Shares;
(b) all additional shares of Capital Stock or other equity interests from time to time acquired by Pledgor, of the Pledged Issuer, the certificates representing such additional shares, all options and other rights, contractual or otherwise, in respect thereof and all dividends, distributions, cash, instruments, investment property and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such additional shares, interests or equity; and
(c) all proceeds (including proceeds of proceeds) of any and all of the foregoing;
in each case, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Pledgor and howsoever its interest therein may arise or appear (whether by ownership, security interest, Lien, claim or otherwise).
SECTION 3. Security for Obligations. The security interest created hereby in the Pledged Collateral constitutes continuing collateral security for all of the following obligations, whether now existing or hereafter incurred (the Obligations):
(a) the prompt payment by the Pledgor, as and when due and payable (by scheduled maturity, required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise), of all amounts from time to time owing by the Pledgor to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in respect of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, (i) principal of and interest on the Loans (including, without limitation, all interest that accrues after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding of the Pledgor whether or not the payment of such interest is unenforceable or is not allowable due to the existence of such Insolvency Proceeding), and (ii) all fees, commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications and all other amounts due or to become due under the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document; and
(b) the due performance and observance by the Pledgor of all of its other obligations from time to time existing in respect of the Credit Agreement and all other Loan Documents.
SECTION 4. Delivery of the Pledged Collateral.
(a) (i) All certificates currently representing the Pledged Shares shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All other certificates and instruments constituting Pledged Collateral from time to time required to be pledged to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms hereof (the Additional Collateral) shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent promptly upon receipt thereof by or on behalf of the Pledgor. All such certificates and instruments shall be held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto and shall be delivered in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment or undated stock powers executed in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. If any Pledged Collateral consists of uncertificated securities, unless the immediately following sentence is applicable thereto, the Pledgor shall cause the Administrative Agent (or its custodian, nominee or other designee) to become the registered holder thereof, or cause each issuer of such securities to agree that it will comply with instructions originated by the Administrative Agent with respect to such securities without further consent by the Pledgor. If any Pledged Collateral consists of security entitlements, the Pledgor shall transfer such security entitlements to the Administrative Agent (or its custodian, nominee or other designee) or cause the applicable securities intermediary to agree that it will comply with entitlement orders by the Administrative Agent without further consent by the Pledgor.
(i) Within five (5) days of the receipt by the Pledgor of any Additional Collateral, a Pledge Amendment, duly executed by the Pledgor, in substantially the form of Annex I hereto (a Pledge Amendment), shall be delivered to the Administrative Agent in respect of the Additional Collateral to be pledged pursuant to this Agreement and the Credit Agreement. The Pledge Amendment shall from and after delivery thereof constitute part of Schedule I hereto. Pledgor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to attach each Pledge Amendment to this Agreement and agrees that all certificates or instruments listed on any Pledge Amendment delivered to the Administrative Agent shall for all purposes hereunder constitute Pledged Collateral and Pledgor shall be deemed upon delivery thereof to have made the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5 with respect to such Additional Collateral.
(b) If the Pledgor shall receive, by virtue of the Pledgors being or having been an owner of any Pledged Collateral, any (i) stock certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock dividend or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, combination of shares, stock split, spin-off or split-off), promissory note or other instrument, (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, or otherwise, (iii) dividends payable in cash (except such dividends permitted to be retained by the Pledgor pursuant to Section 7 hereof) or in securities or other property or (iv) dividends or other distributions in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, the Pledgor shall receive such stock certificate, promissory note, instrument, option, right, payment or distribution in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall segregate it from the Pledgors other property and shall deliver it forthwith to the Administrative Agent, in the exact form received, with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.
SECTION 5. Representations and Warranties. The Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:
(a) Pledgor (i) is a corporation, limited liability company or limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state or jurisdiction of its organization, and (ii) has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement.
(b) The execution, delivery and performance by the Pledgor of this Agreement (i) have been duly authorized by all necessary action, (ii) do not and will not contravene its charter or bylaws, its limited liability company or operating agreement or its certificate of partnership or partnership agreement, as applicable, or any applicable law or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its properties, and (iii) do not and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any of its properties other than pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) The Pledged Shares constitute 100% of the issued shares of Capital Stock of the Pledged Issuer as of the date hereof. All other shares of stock constituting Pledged Collateral will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
(d) The Pledgor is and will be at all times the legal and beneficial owner of its Pledged Collateral free and clear of all Liens, except for the Lien created by this Agreement.
(e) The exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of its rights and remedies in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will not contravene any law or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting the Pledgor or any of the properties of the Pledgor and will not result in or require the creation of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the properties of the Pledgor other than pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
(f) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required to be obtained or made by the Pledgor for (i) the due execution, delivery and performance by the Pledgor of this Agreement, (ii) the grant by the Pledgor, or the perfection, of the Lien created hereby in the Pledged Collateral or (iii) the exercise by the Administrative Agent of any of its rights and remedies hereunder, except as may be required in connection with any sale of any Pledged Collateral by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally or laws restricting or requiring prior banking agency approval for the acquisition of shares of a bank.
(g) This Agreement creates a valid Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent in the Pledged Collateral as security for the Obligations. The Administrative Agents having possession of the certificates representing the Pledged Shares and all other certificates, instruments and cash constituting Pledged Collateral from time to time results in the perfection of such Lien. Such Lien is, or in the case of Pledged Collateral in which the Pledgor obtains rights after the date hereof, will be, a perfected, first priority Lien. All action necessary or desirable to perfect and protect such Lien has been duly taken, except for the Administrative Agents having possession of certificates, instruments and cash constituting Pledged Collateral after the date hereof.
SECTION 6. Covenants as to the Pledged Collateral. So long as any Obligation shall remain outstanding, the Pledgor shall, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent in writing:
(a) keep adequate records concerning the Pledged Collateral and permit the Administrative Agent or any agents, designees or representatives thereof at any time or from
time to time to examine and make copies of and abstracts from such records pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement;
(b) at the Pledgors expense, promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of each notice or other communication received by it in respect of the Pledged Collateral;
(c) at the Pledgors expense, defend the Administrative Agents right, title and security interest in and to the Pledged Collateral against the claims of any Person;
(d) at the Pledgors expense, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to (i) perfect and protect, or maintain the perfection of, the security interest and Lien created hereby, (ii) enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Pledged Collateral or (iii) otherwise effect the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, delivering to the Administrative Agent, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, irrevocable proxies in respect of the Pledged Collateral;
(e) not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), exchange or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral or any interest therein;
(f) not create or suffer to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any Pledged Collateral, except for the Lien created hereby;
(g) not make or consent to any amendment or other modification or waiver with respect to any Pledged Collateral or enter into any agreement or permit to exist any restriction with respect to any Pledged Collateral;
(h) not permit the issuance of (i) any additional shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Pledged Issuer, (ii) any securities convertible voluntarily by the holder thereof or automatically upon the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event or condition into, or exchangeable for, any such shares of Capital Stock or (iii) any warrants, options, contracts or other commitments entitling any Person to purchase or otherwise acquire any such shares of Capital Stock; and
(i) not take or fail to take any action which would in any manner impair the value or enforceability of the Administrative Agents security interest in and Lien on any Pledged Collateral.
SECTION 7. Voting Rights, Dividends, Etc. in Respect of the Pledged Collateral.
(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(i) the Pledgor may exercise any and all voting and other consensual rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents;
(ii) the Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends, interest payments or other distributions paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement; provided, however, that any and all (A) dividends and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, (B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash in respect of any Pledged Collateral in connection with a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, and (C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed in redemption of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, together with any dividend, interest payment or other distribution which at the time of such dividend, interest payment or other distribution was not permitted by the Credit Agreement, shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to the Administrative Agent to hold as, Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by the Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from the other property or funds of the Pledgor, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations; and
(iii) the Administrative Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to the Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as the Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other rights which it is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof and to receive the dividends, interest and/or other distributions which it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) hereof.
(b) Subject in all respects to compliance with the provisions of applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i) all rights of the Pledgor to exercise the voting and other consensual rights which it would otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7(a)(i) hereof, and to receive the dividends and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7(a)(ii) hereof, shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall thereupon have the sole right to exercise such voting and other consensual rights and to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends and interest payments;
(ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may at its option exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, without limitation, the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of any Pledged Issuer, or upon the exercise by any Pledged Issuer of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine; and
(iii) all dividends, distributions, interest and other payments which are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of Section 7(b)(i) hereof shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement and/or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral and as further collateral security for the Obligations.
SECTION 8. Additional Provisions Concerning the Pledged Collateral.
(a) To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Pledgor (i) authorizes the Administrative Agent during the continuance of an Event of Default to execute any such agreements, instruments or other documents in the Pledgors name and to file such agreements, instruments or other documents in the Pledgors name in any appropriate filing office, (ii) authorizes the Administrative Agent to file any financing statements required hereunder or under any other Loan Document, and any continuation statements or amendments with respect thereto, in any appropriate filing office without the signature of the Pledgor, and (iii) ratifies the filing of any financing statement, and any continuation statement or amendment with respect thereto, filed without the signature of the Pledgor prior to the date hereof. A photocopy or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof shall be sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law.
(b) The Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as the Pledgors attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of the Pledgor and in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time in the Administrative Agents discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (subject to the rights of the Pledgor under Section 7(a) hereof), including, without limitation, to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to the Pledgor representing any dividend, interest payment or other distribution in respect of any Pledged Collateral and to give full discharge for the same. This power is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until all of the Obligations are paid in full and all of the Commitments are terminated.
(c) If the Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, the Administrative Agent itself may perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Pledgor pursuant to Section 10 hereof and shall be secured by the Pledged Collateral.
(d) The powers conferred on the Administrative Agent hereunder are solely to protect its interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Pledged Collateral in its possession and the accounting for monies actually received by it hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Pledged Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining to any Pledged Collateral and shall be relieved of all responsibility for the Pledged Collateral upon surrendering it or
tendering surrender of it to the Pledgor. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if the Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Administrative Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have responsibility for (i) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Administrative Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (ii) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral.
(e) Subject in all respects to compliance with the provisions of applicable law, the Administrative Agent may in its discretion at any time after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (i) without notice to the Pledgor, transfer or register in the name of the Administrative Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights of the Pledgor under Section 7(a) hereof and (ii) exchange certificates or instruments constituting Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.
SECTION 9. Remedies Upon Default. Subject in all respects to compliance with the provisions of applicable law, if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:
(a) The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Pledged Collateral, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the UCC then in effect in the State of California; and without limiting the generality of the foregoing and without notice except as specified below, sell the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any exchange or brokers board or elsewhere, at such price or prices and on such other terms as the Administrative Agent may deem commercially reasonable. The Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days notice to the Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale of Pledged Collateral owned by the Pledgor or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Pledged Collateral regardless of whether or not notice of sale has been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.
(b) In the event that the Administrative Agent determines to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to Section 9(a) hereof, the Pledgor will, at the Pledgors expense and upon request by the Administrative Agent: (i) execute and deliver, and cause each issuer of such Pledged Collateral and the directors and officers thereof to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be necessary or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, advisable to register such Pledged Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), and to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to
make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto, (ii) cause each issuer of such Pledged Collateral to qualify such Pledged Collateral under the state securities or Blue Sky laws of each jurisdiction, and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Pledged Collateral, as requested by the Administrative Agent, (iii) cause the Pledged Issuer to make available to its securityholders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act, and (iv) do or cause to be done all such other acts and things as may be necessary to make such sale of such Pledged Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with applicable law. The Pledgor acknowledges the impossibility of ascertaining the amount of damages which would be suffered by the Administrative Agent by reason of the failure by the Pledgor to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section 9(b) and, consequently, agrees that, if the Pledgor fails to perform any of such covenants, it shall pay, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to the value of the Pledged Collateral on the date the Administrative Agent demands compliance with this Section 9(b); provided, however, that the payment of such amount shall not release the Pledgor from any of its obligations under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9(b) hereof, the Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Shares or any other securities constituting Pledged Collateral and that the Administrative Agent may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer of such securities to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act. The Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such securities which has been (i) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis in a newspaper or other publication of general circulation in the financial community of Los Angeles, California (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act) or (ii) made privately in the manner described above to not less than fifteen bona fide offerees shall be deemed to involve a public disposition for the purposes of Section 9-610(c) of the UCC (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision) as then in effect in the State of California, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a public offering under the Securities Act, and that the Administrative Agent may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities.
(d) Any cash held by the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral and all cash proceeds received by the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Pledged Collateral may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for, and/or then or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 10 hereof) in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent against, all or any part of the Obligations in such order as the Administrative Agent shall elect consistent with the provisions of the Credit Agreement. Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by the Administrative Agent and remaining after payment in full of all of the Obligations after all Commitments have been terminated shall be paid over to the Pledgor or to such Person as may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.
(e) In the event that the proceeds of any such sale, collection or realization are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Administrative Agent is legally entitled, the Pledgor shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon at the highest rate specified in the Credit Agreement for interest on overdue principal thereof or such other rate as shall be fixed by applicable law, together with the costs of collection and the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 10. Indemnity and Expenses.
(a) The Pledgor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, consultants and agents) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities obligations, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees and disbursements of counsel) to the extent that they arise out of or otherwise result from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except, as to any such indemnified Person, claims, losses or liabilities resulting solely and directly from such Persons gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b) The Pledgor agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of the Administrative Agents counsel and of any experts and agents, which the Administrative Agent may incur in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, recordation, administration, amendment, waiver or other modification or termination of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Pledged Collateral, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder, or (iv) the failure by the Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.
SECTION 11. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed (by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested), telecopied or delivered, if to the Pledgor, to the Pledgor at the address specified in the Credit Agreement; if to the Administrative Agent, to it at the address specified in the Credit Agreement; or as to either such Person at such other address as shall be designated by such Person in a written notice to such other Person complying as to delivery with the terms of this Section 11. All such notices and other communications shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received or three (3) days after deposited in the mails, whichever occurs first, (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted and confirmation received, or (iii) if delivered, upon delivery.
SECTION 12. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, all Liens and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term in respect of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or consent to any departure from the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) any exchange or release of, or non-perfection of any Lien on any Collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any guaranty for all or any of the Obligations, or (iv) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of the Pledgor in respect of the Obligations. All authorizations and agencies contained herein with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral are irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.
SECTION 13. Miscellaneous.
(a) No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by the Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
(b) No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lender provided herein and in the Loan Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the applicable Loan Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise any of their rights under any other document against such party or against any other Person.
(c) Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
(d) This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in and Lien on the Pledged Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the payment in full or release of the Obligations after the termination of all of the Commitments and (ii) be binding on the Pledgor and, by its acceptance hereof, the Administrative Agent, and its respective successors and assigns, and shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may assign or otherwise transfer their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement and any other Loan Document to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon any such assignment or transfer, all references in this Agreement to the Administrative Agent or any such Lender shall mean the assignee of the Administrative Agent or such Lender. None of the rights or obligations of the Pledgor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and any such assignment or transfer shall be null and void.
(e) Upon the satisfaction in full of the Obligations after the termination of all of the Commitments (i) this Agreement and the security interest and Lien created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Pledged Collateral shall revert to the Pledgor and (ii) the Administrative Agent will, upon the Pledgors request and at the Pledgors expense, (A) return to the Pledgor such of the Pledged Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof and (B) execute and deliver to the Pledgor, without recourse, representation or warranty, such documents as the Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.
(f) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of California, except as required by mandatory provisions of law and except to the extent that the validity and perfection or the perfection and the effect of perfection or non-perfection of the security interest and Lien created hereby, or remedies hereunder, in respect of any particular Pledged Collateral are governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than the State of California.
(g) This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same agreement.
