Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 30, 2009, Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (“Flagstar”) consummated the closing (the “Closing”) of its previously announced transaction with MP Thrift Investments L.P. (“MatlinPatterson”), an entity formed by MP (Thrift) Global Partners III LLC, an affiliate of MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC, under the Investment Agreement, dated as of December 17, 2008 (the “Investment Agreement”), which was described in Flagstar’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 18, 2008 (the “Prior Form 8-K”), pursuant to which MatlinPatterson purchased 250,000 shares of a newly authorized series of Flagstar’s convertible participating voting preferred stock, designated as Convertible Participating Voting Preferred Stock, Series B (the “Preferred Stock”). The applicable terms and preferences attached to the Preferred Stock are more fully described in Item 1.01 of the Prior Form 8-K, and this summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Designations attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1.
Subscription Agreements/Registration Rights Agreements
As a condition to closing the transaction under the Investment Agreement, Flagstar was required to issue and sell a minimum number of shares of its common stock to directors and members of management (the “Management Investors”). On January 30, 2009, Flagstar entered into Subscription Agreements with the Management Investors (the “Subscription Agreements”), pursuant to which the Management Investors purchased, in the aggregate, 6,650,000 shares of common stock at a purchase price of $0.80 per share. This summary of the Subscription Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Subscription Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
Further, on January 30, 2009, Flagstar entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Management Investors (the “Registration Rights Agreements”), pursuant to which Flagstar granted certain piggyback registration rights to the Management Investors. Flagstar entered into the Registration Rights Agreements in order to induce the Management Investors to enter into the Subscription Agreements, and, in general, Flagstar will register the Management Investors’ common stock on any registration statement that includes the securities purchased by MatlinPatterson. This summary of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of Registration Rights Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.
Closing Agreement
On January 30, 3009, as part of the Closing, Flagstar entered into a Closing Agreement with MatlinPatterson (the “Closing Agreement”), pursuant to which Flagstar agreed to issue and sell subject to certain conditions (i) an additional $50 million of convertible preferred stock substantially in the form of the Preferred Stock, in two equal parts, on substantially the same terms as the previously announced $250 million investment by MatlinPatterson (the “Additional Preferred Stock”) and (ii) $50 million of trust preferred securities with a 10% coupon to MatlinPatterson (the “Trust Preferred Securities”). The Closing Agreement also amended the Investment Agreement and waived certain conditions included therein.
The powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the Additional Preferred Stock, if issued, will be set forth in a certificate of designations to be filed with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth prior to the closing of the additional investment. The Additional Preferred Stock will be automatically convertible into shares of common stock upon the approval of Flagstar’s stockholders to increase the number of authorized shares of Flagstar’s common stock. The Additional Preferred Stock will automatically convert into 62,500,000 shares of the Flagstar’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.80 per share of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Dividends on the Additional Preferred Stock will be payable, on a non-cumulative basis, as and if declared by Flagstar’s board of directors to holders of Flagstar’s common stock, in cash, on an as-converted basis. The Additional Preferred Stock will not be redeemable by Flagstar or by the holders. Subject to New York Stock Exchange Rules, the holders of Additional Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote upon all matters which holders of Flagstar’s common stock are entitled to vote, and each share of Additional Preferred Stock will be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis. So long as the Additional Preferred Stock is outstanding, then the vote or consent of the holders of the Additional Preferred Stock would be required for certain matters.

The Trust Preferred Securities, if issued, will be convertible into common stock of Flagstar at MatlinPatterson’s option on April 1, 2010, at a conversion price equal to the volume-weighted average price of the common stock from February 1, 2009 through April 1, 2010. If MatlinPatterson does not convert the Trust Preferred Securities at that time, they will remain outstanding perpetually unless redeemed by Flagstar at any time after January 30, 2011.
This summary of the Closing Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Closing Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3.
Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On January 30, 2009, Flagstar issued and sold 6,650,000 shares of its common stock to the Management Investors at a purchase price of $0.80 per share of common stock. In the aggregate, Flagstar received $5,320,000 in consideration for the common stock. The common stock was offered and sold to individual accredited investors in an offering exempt from the Securities Act registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof.
Upon consummation of the transactions under the Closing Agreement described in Item 1.01, for aggregate consideration of $100 million, the Company will issue and sell (i) 50,000 shares of convertible preferred stock at a purchase price and liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and (ii) trust preferred securities in the aggregate amount of $50 million. The convertible preferred stock and trust preferred securities will be offered and sold to an institutional investor in an offering exempt from the Securities Act registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to Section 4(2) thereof. Upon receipt of stockholder approval, the shares of convertible preferred stock will automatically convert into 62,500,000 shares of Flagstar’s common stock at an conversion price of $0.80 per share of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Subject to receipt of stockholder approval, the trust preferred securities will be convertible into common stock at the option of MatlinPatterson on April 1, 2010 at a conversion price equal to 90% of the volume-weighted average price per share of common stock during the period from February 1, 2009 to April 1, 2010, subject to a minimum price per share of $0.80 and a maximum of $2.00.
Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
As part of the offering to MatlinPatterson announced on December 17, 2008, Flagstar issued 250,000 shares of the Preferred Stock, the terms of which are more fully described in the Certificate of Designations of Convertible Participating Voting Preferred Stock, Series B of Flagstar (the “Certificate of Designations”) filed with the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Growth setting forth the powers, designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights of the Preferred Stock. The holders of the Preferred Stock and the Additional Preferred Stock, if issued, have preferential dividend and liquidation rights over the holders of common stock and vote together with the holders of common stock on an as-converted basis. The applicable terms and preferences attached to the Preferred Stock are more fully described in Item 1.01 of the Company’s Current Report of Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 18, 2008, and are contained in the Certificate of Designations.

The funding for this transaction came primarily from investors who were investors in existing funds managed by MatlinPatterson Global Advisers LLC, namely, MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners III L.P. and MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners (Cayman) III L.P. At the Closing, and in accordance with the Investment Agreement, Kirstin Hammond, Robert Rondeau, Richard Elsea, Charles Bazzy and Frank D’Angelo each resigned as directors of Flagstar, and David J. Matlin, Mark Patterson, and Gregory Eng, each a director designated by MatlinPatterson, were appointed to the Board.

Upon Closing, Flagstar is considered a “controlled company,” as defined in Section 303A of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Listed Company Manual, based on MatlinPatterson’s beneficial ownership of approximately 70% of the outstanding voting stock of Flagstar. As a “controlled company,” Flagstar is exempt from certain requirements of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, including the requirement to maintain a majority of independent directors and requirements related to the compensation committee and nominating/corporate governance committee.

     (a) In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the Holders of full and fractional shares of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled, before any distribution or payment is made on any date to the holders of the Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior to Series B Preferred Stock upon liquidation, to receive in full an amount per share equal to the greater of (the “ liquidation preference ”) (i) $0.01 plus an amount equal to any dividends that have been declared on Series B Preferred Stock but not paid and (ii) the amount that a holder of one share of Series B Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive if such share were converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, together with any declared but unpaid dividend prior to such distribution or payment date, and, for the purpose of such calculation, shares of Common Stock sufficient for the full conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be authorized for issuance under the Certificate of Incorporation on such date. If such payment has been made in full to all Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock as such will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.
     (b) If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, are insufficient to pay in full all amounts to which such Holders are entitled pursuant to Section 5(a), no such distribution will be made on account of any shares of any other class or Series of Preferred Stock ranking on a parity with the shares of Series B Preferred Stock upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up unless proportionate distributive amounts are paid on account of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, ratably in proportion to the full distributable amounts for which holders of all such parity shares are respectively entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up.

5


 

     (c) Upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding will be entitled to be paid out of assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders all amounts to which such holders are entitled pursuant to the first paragraph of this Section 5 before any payment is made to the holders of Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation ranking junior upon liquidation to Series B Preferred Stock.
     (d) For the purposes of this Section 5, the consolidation or merger of, or binding shares exchange by, the Corporation with any other corporation will not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, provided, however, that a Fundamental Change shall be deemed to constitute such a liquidation.
          Section 6. Maturity . The Series B Preferred Stock shall be perpetual unless converted in accordance with this Certificate of Designations.
          Section 7. No Redemption . The Series B Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable either at the Corporation’s option or at the option of Holders at any time.

     (a) Mandatory Conversion . Effective as of the receipt of all Stockholder Approvals (the “ Mandatory Conversion Date ”), all shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 8(b) hereof (the “ Mandatory Conversion ”).
     (b) Number of Shares Upon Conversion . The number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible shall be determined by dividing $1,000 by the Applicable Conversion Price (subject to the conversion procedures of Section 9 hereof) plus cash in lieu of fractional shares in accordance with Section 13 hereof.
          Section 9. Conversion Procedures .
     (a) As promptly as practicable following the Mandatory Conversion, each Holder shall provide the Corporation with a notice (the “ Notice of Conversion ”). In addition to any information required by applicable law or regulation, the Notice of Conversion with respect to such Holder shall state, as appropriate:
(1) The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of each share of Series B Preferred Stock held of record by such Holder and subject to the Mandatory Conversion;
(2) The name in which shares of Common Stock to be issued upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock should be registered; and
(3) The manner in which certificates of Series B Preferred Stock held of record by such Holder are to be surrendered for issuance of certificates representing shares of Common Stock.

6


 

     (b) Effective immediately prior to the close of business on the Mandatory Conversion Date, with respect to any share of Series B Preferred Stock, dividends shall no longer be declared on any such converted share of Series B Preferred Stock and such share of Series B Preferred Stock shall only represent such number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof and shall cease to be outstanding, subject to the right of the Holder to receive any declared and unpaid dividends on such share to the extent provided in Section 4 and any other payments to which such Holders is otherwise entitled pursuant to Section 8, Section 11 and Section 13 hereof, as applicable.
     (c) No allowance or adjustment, except pursuant to Section 10, shall be made in respect of dividends payable to holders of the Common Stock of record as of any date prior to the close of business on the Mandatory Conversion Date, with respect to any share of Series B Preferred Stock. Prior to the close of business on the Mandatory Conversion Date, with respect to any share of Series B Preferred Stock, shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof, or other securities issuable upon conversion of such share of Series B Preferred Stock, shall not be deemed outstanding for any purpose, and the Holder thereof shall have no rights with respect to the Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion (including voting rights, rights to respond to tender offers for the Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion and rights to receive any dividends or distributions on the Common Stock or other securities issuable upon conversion) by virtue of holding such share of Series B Preferred Stock.
     (d) Shares of Series B Preferred Stock converted in accordance with this Certificate of Designations will resume the status of authorized and unissued preferred stock, undesignated as to series and available for future issuance.
     (e) The Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock and/or cash, securities or other property issuable upon conversion of Series B Preferred Stock shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder(s) of such shares of Common Stock and/or securities as of the close of business on the Mandatory Conversion Date, with respect thereto. In the event that a Holder shall not by written notice designate the name in which shares of Common Stock and/or cash, securities or other property (including payments of cash in lieu of fractional shares) to be issued or paid upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock should be registered or paid or the manner in which such shares should be delivered, the Corporation shall be entitled to register and deliver such shares, and make such payment, in the name of the Holder and in the manner shown on the records of the Corporation or pursuant to applicable law.
     (f) No later than three (3) Business Days following delivery of the Notice of Conversion, with respect to any share of Series B Preferred Stock as to which the Mandatory Conversion shall have occurred, certificates representing shares of Common Stock shall be issued and delivered to the Holder thereof or such Holder’s designee upon presentation and surrender of the certificate evidencing such Series B Preferred Stock to the Corporation and, if required, the furnishing of appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the payment of all transfer and similar taxes.

          Section 10. Anti-Dilution Adjustments .
     (a) The Conversion Price shall be subject to the following adjustments.
(1) Stock Dividends and Distributions . If the Corporation pays dividends or other distributions on the Common Stock in shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution will be multiplied by the following fraction:
         
 
  OS 0    
 
       
 
  OS 1    
OS 0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution.
OS 1 = the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such dividend or distribution plus the total number of shares of Common Stock constituting such dividend or distribution.
For the purposes of this clause (1), the number of shares of Common Stock at the time outstanding shall not include shares acquired by the Corporation. If any dividend or distribution described in this clause (1) is declared but not so paid or made, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to make such dividend or distribution, to such Conversion Price that would be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(2) Subdivisions, Splits and Combination of the Common Stock . If the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries subdivides, splits or combines the shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination will be multiplied by the following fraction:
         
 
  OS 0    
 
       
 
  OS 1    
OS 0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination.
OS 1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the close of business on the effective date of such share subdivision, split or combination.

8


 

For the purposes of this clause (2), the number of shares of Common Stock at the time outstanding shall not include shares acquired by the Corporation. If any subdivision, split or combination described in this clause (2) is announced but the outstanding shares of Common Stock are not subdivided, split or combined, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to subdivide, split or combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, to such Conversion Price that would be in effect if such subdivision, split or combination had not been announced.
(3) Issuance of Stock Purchase Rights . If the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries issues to all holders of the shares of Common Stock (and does not make the equivalent issuance to the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock) rights or warrants (other than rights or warrants issued pursuant to a dividend reinvestment plan or share purchase plan or other similar plans) entitling them, for a period of up to 180 days (or any shorter period) from the date of issuance of such rights or warrants, to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at less than the Current Market Price on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, then the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution will be multiplied by the following fraction:
         
 
  OS 0 + Y    
 
       
 
  OS 0 + X    
OS 0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Ex-Date for such distribution.
X = the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights or warrants.
Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights or warrants divided by the Current Market Price.
For the purposes of this clause (3), the number of shares of Common Stock at the time outstanding shall not include shares acquired by the Corporation. The Corporation shall not issue any such rights or warrants in respect of shares of the Common Stock acquired by the Corporation. In the event that such rights or warrants described in this clause (3) are not so issued, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors publicly announces its decision not to issue such rights or warrants, to the Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such issuance had not been declared. To the extent that such rights or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are otherwise not delivered pursuant to such rights or warrants upon the exercise of such rights or warrants, the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to

9


 

such Conversion Price that would then be in effect had the adjustment made upon the issuance of such rights or warrants been made on the basis of the delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. In determining the aggregate offering price payable for such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received for such rights or warrants and the value of such consideration (if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors).
(4) Self Tender Offers and Exchange Offers . If the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries successfully completes a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock (and does not make the equivalent offer to the Holders of Series B Preferred Stock) where the cash and the value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Closing Price per share of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer, then the Conversion Price in effect at the close of business on such immediately succeeding Trading Day will be multiplied by the following fraction:
         
 
  OS 0 x SP 0    
 
       
 
  AC + (SP 0 x OS 1 )    
SP 0 = the Closing Price per share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately succeeding the expiration of the tender or exchange offer.
OS 0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration of the tender or exchange offer, including any shares validly tendered and not withdrawn.
OS 1 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the expiration of the tender or exchange offer and after taking into account the shares purchased pursuant thereto.
AC = the aggregate cash and fair market value of the other consideration payable in the tender or exchange offer, as determined by the Board of Directors.
In the event that the Corporation, or one of its subsidiaries, is obligated to purchase shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Corporation, or such subsidiary, is permanently prevented by applicable law from effecting any such purchases, or all such purchases are rescinded, then the Conversion Price shall be readjusted to be such Conversion Price that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made.
(5) Rights Plans . To the extent that the Corporation has a rights plan in effect with respect to the Common Stock on the Mandatory Conversion Date, upon conversion of any shares of the

10


 

Series B Preferred Stock, Holders will receive, in addition to the shares of Common Stock, the rights under the rights plan, unless, prior to the Mandatory Conversion Date, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock, in which case the Conversion Price will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Corporation had made a distribution to all holders of the Common Stock as described in clause (3) above, subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
     (b) All adjustments to the Conversion Price shall be calculated to the nearest 1/10 of a cent. No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required if such adjustment would be less than $0.01; provided, that any adjustments which by reason of this subparagraph are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment; provided further that on the Mandatory Conversion Date, adjustments to the Conversion Price will be made with respect to any such adjustment carried forward and which has not been taken into account before such date. When any adjustment is to be made in respect of a distribution of Common Stock or rights or warrants to purchase Common Stock, such adjustment shall also be made for any securities convertible, exchangeable or exerciseable for shares of Common Stock.
     (c) No adjustment to the Conversion Price shall be made if Holders may participate in the transaction that would otherwise give rise to an adjustment, as a result of holding the Series B Preferred Stock (including without limitation pursuant to Section 4(b) hereof), without having to convert the Series B Preferred Stock, as if they held the full number of shares of Common Stock into which a share of the Series B Preferred Stock may then be converted.
     (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the Applicable Conversion Price shall not be adjusted:
(1) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Corporation’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;
(2) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or rights or warrants to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries;
(3) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security outstanding as of the date shares of the Series B Preferred Stock were first issued and not substantially amended thereafter;
(4) for a change in the par value or no par value of Common Stock; or
(5) for accrued and unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock.

11


 

     (e) Whenever the Conversion Price is to be adjusted in accordance with Section 10(a), the Corporation shall: (i) compute the Conversion Price in accordance with Section 10(a), taking into account the threshold set forth in Section 10(b); (ii) as soon as practicable following the occurrence of an event that requires an adjustment to the Conversion Price pursuant to Section 10(a) taking into account the threshold set forth in Section 10(b) (or if the Corporation is not aware of such occurrence, as soon as practicable after becoming so aware), provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders of the occurrence of such event; and (iii) as soon as practicable following the determination of the revised Conversion Price in accordance with Section 10(a), provide, or cause to be provided, a written notice to the Holders setting forth in reasonable detail the method by which the adjustment to the Conversion Price was determined and setting forth the revised Conversion Price.
          Section 11. Reorganization Events .
     (a) In the event of:
(1) consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into another Person, or other similar transaction, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property of the Corporation or another Person;
(2) any sale, transfer, lease or conveyance to another Person of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation, in each case pursuant to which the Common Stock will be converted into cash, securities or other property of the Corporation or another Person;
(3) any reclassification of the Common Stock into securities including securities other than the Common Stock;
(any such event specified in this Section 11(a), a “ Reorganization Event ”); each share of Series B Preferred Stock outstanding immediately prior to such Reorganization Event shall remain outstanding but shall become convertible into the kind of securities, cash and other property receivable in such Reorganization Event by the holder (excluding the counterparty to the Reorganization Event or an affiliate of such counterparty) of that number of shares of Common Stock into which the share of Series B Preferred Stock would then be convertible (and for the purpose of such calculation, shares of Common Stock sufficient for the full conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be authorized for issuance under the Certificate of Incorporation on such date) (such securities, cash and other property, the “ Exchange Property ”).

12


 

     (b) In the event that holders of the shares of Common Stock have the opportunity to elect the form of consideration to be received in the Reorganization Event, the consideration that the Holders are entitled to receive shall be deemed to be the types and amounts of consideration received by the majority of the holders of the shares of Common Stock that affirmatively make an election. The amount of Exchange Property receivable upon conversion of any Series B Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 8 shall be determined based upon the Conversion Price in effect on the date of consummation of the Reorganization Event.
     (c) The above provisions of this Section 11 shall similarly apply to successive Reorganization Events and the provisions of Section 10 shall apply to any shares of capital stock of the Corporation (or any successor) received by the holders of the Common Stock in any such Reorganization Event.
     (d) The Corporation (or any successor) shall, within twenty (20) days of the occurrence of any Reorganization Event, provide written notice to the Holders of such occurrence of such event and of the kind and amount of the cash, securities or other property that constitutes the Exchange Property. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the operation of this Section 11.
     (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 11 or otherwise in this Certificate of Designations, the Corporation shall not enter into any agreement for a transaction constituting a Fundamental Change unless such agreement (i) entitles Holders to receive, on an as-converted basis, the securities, cash and other property receivable in such transaction by a holder of shares of Common Stock that was not the counterparty to such transaction or an affiliate of such other party as described in Section 11(a), (ii) provides that each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be converted into the number of shares of Common Stock as provided in Section 8(b), or (iii) provides that (1) the Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which the Corporation is not the surviving or resulting entity, is converted into or exchanged for preference securities of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, that is an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and (2) such Series B Preferred Stock remaining outstanding or such preference securities, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the Holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of the Series B Preferred Stock, taken as a whole. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall prohibit the Corporation from entering into or consummating a transaction constituting a Fundamental Change provided that the Series B Preferred Stock is treated as set forth in the preceding sentence.
          Section 12. Voting Rights .
     (a) The Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock vote together with the Holders of Common Stock on all matters upon which the Holders of Common Stock are entitled to vote. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to such number of votes as the number of shares of Common Stock into which such share of Series B Preferred Stock is convertible at the time of the record date for any such vote, and for the purpose of such calculation, shares of Common Stock sufficient for the full conversion of all shares of Series

13


 

B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be authorized for issuance under the Certificate of Incorporation on such date and shall be included in such calculation.
     (b) So long as any shares of Series B Preferred Stock are outstanding, the vote or consent of the Holders of a majority of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, voting as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, will be necessary for effecting or validating any of the following actions, whether or not such approval is required by Michigan law:
(1) any amendment, alteration or repeal of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation, this Certificate of Designations, or the Corporation’s bylaws (whether by merger, consolidation, business combination or otherwise) that would alter or change the voting powers, preferences or special rights of the Series B Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely; or
(2) the consummation of a binding share exchange or reclassification involving the Common Stock or a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with another entity, except that Holders will have no separate right to vote under this provision or under Section 450.1773 of the Michigan Business Corporation Act or otherwise under Michigan law if (x) the Corporation shall have complied with Section 11(e), (y) the transaction shall be a Reorganization Event in which each share of Series B Preferred Stock shall be convertible into the Exchange Property, or (z) (1) the Series B Preferred Stock remains outstanding or, in the case of any such merger or consolidation with respect to which the Corporation is not the surviving or resulting entity, is converted into or exchanged for preference securities or common stock of the surviving or resulting entity or its ultimate parent, that is an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, and (2) such Series B Preferred Stock remaining outstanding or such preference securities or common stock, as the case may be, have such rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers, taken as a whole, as are not materially less favorable to the Holders thereof than the rights, preferences, privileges and voting powers of the Series B Preferred Stock, taken as a whole; provided, however, that any increase in the amount of the authorized preferred stock or any securities convertible into preferred stock or the creation and issuance, or an increase in the authorized or issued amount, of any series of preferred stock, or any securities convertible into preferred stock ranking junior to, equally with and/or senior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends (whether such dividends are cumulative or non-cumulative) and/or the distribution of assets upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, will not, in and of itself, be deemed to adversely affect the voting powers, preferences or special rights of the Series B Preferred Stock and, notwithstanding Section 450.1773 of the Michigan Business

14


 

Corporation Act or any other provision of Michigan law, Holders will have no right to separately vote solely by reason of such an increase, creation or issuance.
If an amendment, alteration, repeal, share exchange, reclassification, merger or consolidation described above would adversely affect one or more but not all series of preferred stock with like voting rights (including the Series B Preferred Stock for this purpose), then only the series affected and entitled to vote shall vote as a class in lieu of all such series of preferred stock.
     (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holders shall not have any voting rights if, at or prior to the effective time of the act with respect to which such vote would otherwise be required, all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall have been converted into shares of Common Stock.
          Section 13. Fractional Shares .
     (a) No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of any conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
     (b) In lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock otherwise issuable in respect of any conversion pursuant to Section 8 hereof, the Corporation shall pay an amount in cash (computed to the nearest cent) equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price of the Common Stock determined as of the second Trading Day immediately preceding the Mandatory Conversion Date.
     (c) If more than one share of the Series B Preferred Stock is surrendered for conversion at one time by or for the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of the Series B Preferred Stock so surrendered.
          Section 14. Reservation of Common Stock .
     (a) Following the receipt of the Stockholder Approvals for conversion of outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock or shares acquired by the Corporation, solely for issuance upon the conversion of such shares of Series B Preferred Stock as provided in this Certificate of Designations, free from any preemptive or other similar rights, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be issuable upon the conversion of all such shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding, assuming that the Applicable Conversion Price equaled the Conversion Price on the Effective Date.
     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation shall be entitled to deliver upon conversion of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, as herein provided, shares of Common Stock acquired by the Corporation (in lieu of the issuance of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock), so long as any such acquired shares are free and clear of all liens, charges, security interests or encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by the Holders).

15


 

     (c) All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free and clear of all liens, claims, security interests and other encumbrances (other than liens, charges, security interests and other encumbrances created by the Holders).
     (d) Prior to the delivery of any securities that the Corporation shall be obligated to deliver upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all federal and state laws and regulations thereunder requiring the registration of such securities with, or any approval of or consent to the delivery thereof by, any governmental authority, and if notwithstanding such efforts the shares of Common Stock cannot be delivered in compliance with such laws and regulations, then the Corporation shall not be required to so deliver until it can deliver in compliance with such laws and regulations.
     (e) The Corporation hereby covenants and agrees that, if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other national securities exchange or automated quotation system, the Corporation will, if permitted by the rules of such exchange or automated quotation system, list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, all the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Stock, and, for the purpose of such calculation, shares of Common Stock sufficient for the full conversion of all shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be deemed to be authorized for issuance under the Certificate of Incorporation on such date.
          Section 15. Replacement Certificates .
     (a) The Corporation shall replace any mutilated certificate representing Series B Preferred Stock at the Holder’s expense upon surrender of that certificate to the Corporation. The Corporation shall replace certificates representing Series B Preferred Stock that become destroyed, stolen or lost at the Holder’s expense upon delivery to the Corporation of satisfactory evidence that the certificate has been destroyed, stolen or lost, together with any indemnity that may be required by the Corporation.
     (b) The Corporation shall not be required to issue any certificates representing the Series B Preferred Stock on or after the Mandatory Conversion Date.

The officer or agent having charge of the stock transfer books for shares of the Corporation shall make, at least ten (10) days before each meeting of shareholders, a complete record of the shareholders entitled to vote at such meeting or any adjournment thereof, with the address of and the number of shares held by each. The record shall be produced and kept open at the time and place of the meeting and shall be subject to the inspection of any shareholder of the Corporation during the whole time of the meeting. The record of shareholders shall be prima facie evidence as to who are the shareholders entitled to examine such record or transfer books or to vote at any meeting of shareholders.
     SECTION 8. Quorum . A majority of the outstanding shares of the Corporation entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum at a meeting of shareholders. If less than a majority of the outstanding shares are represented at a meeting, a majority of the shares so represented may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further notice. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present or represented, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified. The shareholders present at a duly organized meeting may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough shareholders to leave less than a quorum.
     SECTION 9. Proxies . At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder may vote by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by his duly authorized attorney in fact.

No proxy shall be valid after three (3) years from the date of its execution unless otherwise provided in the proxy.
     SECTION 10. Voting . Unless otherwise provided by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, at each election of directors every shareholder entitled to vote at such election shall be entitled to one vote for each share of stock held. Unless otherwise provided by the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation, by statute, or by these Bylaws, a majority of those votes cast by shareholders at a lawful meeting shall be sufficient to pass on a transaction or matter, except in the election of directors, which election shall be determined by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors.

     SECTION 11. Voting of Shares in the Name of Two or More Persons . When ownership of stock stands in the name of two or more persons, in the absence of written directions to the Corporation to the contrary, at any meeting of the shareholders of the Corporation any one or more of such shareholders may cast, in person or by proxy, all votes to which such ownership is entitled. In the event an attempt is made to cast conflicting votes, in person or by proxy, by the several persons in whose name shares of stock stand, the vote or votes to which these persons are entitled shall be cast as directed by a majority of those holding such stock and present in person or by proxy at such meeting, but no votes shall be cast for such stock if a majority cannot agree.
     SECTION 12. Voting of Shares by Certain Holders . Shares standing in the name of another corporation may be voted by any officer, agent or proxy as the bylaws of such corporation may prescribe, or, in the absence of such provision, as the board of directors of such corporation may determine. Shares held by an administrator, executor, guardian or conservator may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a trustee may be voted by him, either in person or by proxy, but no trustee shall be entitled to vote shares held by him without a transfer of such shares into his name. Shares standing in the name of a receiver may be voted by such receiver, and shares held by or under the control of a receiver may be voted by such receiver without the transfer thereof into his name if authority to do so is contained in an appropriate order of the court or other public authority by which such receiver was appointed.
     A shareholder whose shares are pledged shall be entitled to vote such shares until the shares have been transferred into the name of the pledgee and thereafter the pledgee shall be entitled to vote the shares so transferred.
     Neither treasury shares of its own stock held by the Corporation, nor shares held by another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote for the election of directors of such other corporation are held by the Corporation, shall be voted at any meeting or counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time for purposes of any meeting.
     SECTION 13. Inspectors of Election . In advance of any meeting of shareholders, the board of directors may appoint any persons, other than nominees for office, as inspectors of election to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof. The number of inspectors shall be either one or three. If the board of directors so appoints either one or three inspectors, that appointment shall not be altered at the meeting. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, the chairman of the board may make such appointment at the meeting. In case any person appointed as inspector fails to appear or fails or refuses to act, the vacancy may be filled by appointment in advance of the meeting or at the meeting by the chairman of the board or the president.
     Unless otherwise prescribed by applicable law, the duties of such inspectors shall include: determining the number of shares of stock and the voting power of each share, the shares of stock represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, the authenticity, validity and effect of proxies; receiving votes, ballots or consents; hearing and determining all challenges and questions in any way arising in connection with the right to vote; counting and tabulating all votes or consents; determining the result; and such acts as may be proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders.
     SECTION 14. Nominating Committee . The board of directors or a committee appointed by the board of directors shall act as a nominating committee for selecting the

3


 

management nominees for election as directors. Except in the case of a nominee substituted as a result of the death or other incapacity of a management nominee, the nominating committee shall deliver written nominations to the secretary at least 20 days prior to the date of the annual meeting. Provided such committee makes such nominations, no nominations for directors except those made by the nominating committee shall be voted upon at the annual meeting unless other nominations by shareholders are made in writing and delivered to the secretary of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation.
     SECTION 15. New Business . Any new business to be taken up at the annual meeting shall be stated in writing and filed with the secretary of the Corporation in accordance with the provisions of the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation. This provision shall not prevent the consideration and approval or disapproval at the annual meeting of reports of officers, directors and committees, but in connection with such reports no new business shall be acted upon at such annual meeting unless stated and filed as provided in the Corporation’s Articles of Incorporation.

Exhibit 10.2
REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT
     THIS REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT (this “ Agreement ”) by and between Flagstar Bancorp, Inc. (the “ Company ”), a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Michigan, with its principal offices at 5151 Corporate Drive, Troy, Michigan 48098-2639, and the undersigned subscriber (the “ Subscriber ”) is effective as of the date on which the Company accepts that certain Subscription Agreement by and between the Company and the Subscriber (the “ Subscription Agreement ”).
     WHEREAS, the Company has entered into an Investment Agreement made as of December 17, 2008 with MP Thrift Investments L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“ MP Thrift ”), pursuant to which MP Thrift agreed to purchase from the Company 250,000 shares of a series of convertible participating voting preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company (the “ Convertible Preferred Stock ”), at a purchase price of $1,000 per share, with each share convertible into common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “ Common Stock ”), at the liquidation preference divided by $0.80 (subject to adjustment pursuant to anti-dilution provisions) (the “ MP Thrift Investment Agreement ”);
     WHEREAS, in order to induce MP Thrift to enter into the MP Thrift Investment Agreement, the Subscribers have agreed to purchase 6,650,000 shares of Common Stock (the “ Management Shares ”) at a price per Management Share of $0.80 per share, provided , however , that if the Company does not have sufficient shares of Common Stock available for issuance prior to an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares thereunder, then the Subscribers shall instead purchase an equivalent number shares of Convertible Preferred Stock on an as converted basis as would have been purchased if sufficient shares of Common stock were available for issuance; and
     WHEREAS, in order to induce the Subscriber to enter into the Subscription Agreement, the Company has agreed to provide certain registration rights under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, or any similar successor statute (collectively, the “ Securities Act ”), and applicable state securities laws.
     IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, the Company and the Subscriber agree as follows:
     SECTION 1. Piggyback Registration .
          (a) Whenever the Company proposes to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) any of its securities acquired pursuant to the MP Thrift Investment Agreement and the registration form to be filed may be used for the registration or qualification for distribution of the Management Shares, the Company will give prompt written notice to Subscriber of its intention to effect such a registration (but in no event less than ten days prior to the anticipated filing date with the SEC) and will include in such registration statement all Management Shares with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein within five business days after the date of the Company’s notice (a “ Piggyback Registration ”). Any such person who has made such a written request may

 


 

withdraw its Management Shares from such Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company and, if applicable, the managing underwriter on or before the fifth business day prior to the planned effective date of such Piggyback Registration. The Company may terminate or withdraw any registration statement under this Section 1(a) prior to the effectiveness of such registration, whether or not Subscriber has elected to include Management Shares in such registration.
          (b) If the registration referred to in Section 1(a) is proposed to be underwritten, the Company will so advise Subscriber as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 1(a). In such event, the right of Subscriber to registration pursuant to this Section 1 will be conditioned upon such persons’ participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such person’s Management Shares in the underwriting, and each such person will (together with the Company and the other persons distributing their securities through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. If any participating person disapproves of the terms of the underwriting, such person may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice to the Company, the managing underwriter and Subscriber.
          (c) If a Piggyback Registration relates to an underwritten primary offering on behalf of the Company, and the managing underwriters advise the Company that in their reasonable opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of such offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), the Company will include in such registration or prospectus only such number of securities that in the reasonable opinion of such underwriters can be sold without adversely affecting the marketability of the offering (including an adverse effect on the per share offering price), which securities will be so included in the following order of priority subject to any conflicting terms of the agreements entered into by the Company and the United States Department of the Treasury under the TARP Capital Purchase Program: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, Registrable Securities of MP Thrift and all other Holders and the Management Shares of the Subscriber who have requested registration of Registrable Securities and Management Shares, respectively, pursuant to Section 4.7(a)(4) of the MP Thrift Investment Agreement and Section 1(a) of this Agreement, respectively, pro rata on the basis of the aggregate number of such securities or shares owned by each such person, and (iii) third, any other securities of the Company that have been requested to be so included, subject to the terms of the MP Thrift Investment Agreement and this Agreement.
     SECTION 2. Expenses of Registration . All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance hereunder shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in connection with any registrations hereunder, shall be borne by the holders of the securities so registered pro rata on the basis of the aggregate offering or sale price of the securities so registered.
     SECTION 3. Obligations of the Company . The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts for so long as the Subscriber holds the Management Shares to take such actions as are under its control to not become an ineligible issuer (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act). In addition, whenever required to effect the registration of any Management Shares or facilitate the distribution of Management Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably practicable:

2


 

          (a) Prepare and file with the SEC a prospectus supplement with respect to a proposed offering of Management Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement, subject to this Section 3, to keep such registration statement effective or such prospectus supplement current.
          (b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the applicable registration statement and the prospectus or prospectus supplement used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement.
          (c) Furnish to the Subscriber and any underwriters such number of copies of the applicable registration statement and each such amendment and supplement thereto (including in each case all exhibits) and of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Management Shares owned or to be distributed by them.
          (d) Use its reasonable best efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Subscriber or any managing underwriter(s), to keep such registration or qualification in effect for so long as such registration statement remains in effect, and to take any other action which may be reasonably necessary to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the securities owned by such Subscriber; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions.
          (e) Notify the Subscriber at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the applicable prospectus, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.
          (f) Give written notice to the Subscriber:
               (i) when any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 1 or any amendment thereto has been filed with the SEC and when such registration statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;
               (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to any registration statement or the prospectus included therein or for additional information;
               (iii) of the issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;
               (iv) of the receipt by the Company or its legal counsel of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Management Shares for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose;

3


 

               (v) of the happening of any event that requires the Company to make changes in any effective registration statement or the prospectus related to the registration statement in order to make the statements therein not misleading (which notice shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes have been made); and
               (vi) if at any time the representations and warranties of the Company contained in any underwriting agreement contemplated by Section 3(j) cease to be true and correct.
          (g) Use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance or obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of any registration statement referred to in Section 3(f)(iii) at the earliest practicable time.
          (h) Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(e) or 3(f)(v), promptly prepare a post-effective amendment to such registration statement or a supplement to the related prospectus or file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered to the Subscriber and any underwriters, the prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Subscriber in accordance with Section 3(f)(v) to suspend the use of the prospectus until the requisite changes to the prospectus have been made, then the Subscriber and any underwriters shall suspend use of such prospectus and use their reasonable best efforts to return to the Company all copies of such prospectus (at the Company’s expense) other than permanent file copies then in such Subscriber’s or underwriter’s possession.
          (i) Use reasonable best efforts to procure the cooperation of the Company’s transfer agent in settling any offering or sale of Management Shares, including with respect to the transfer of physical stock certificates into book-entry form in accordance with any procedures reasonably requested by the Subscriber or any managing underwriter(s).
          (j) Enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form, scope and substance and take all such other actions reasonably requested by the Subscriber or by the managing underwriter(s), if any, to expedite or facilitate the underwritten disposition of such Management Shares, and in connection therewith in any underwritten offering (including making members of management and executives of the Company available to participate in “road show”, similar sales events and other marketing activities), (i) make such representations and warranties to the managing underwriter(s), if any, with respect to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries, and the registration statement, prospectus and documents, if any, incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, in each case, in customary form, substance and scope, and, if true, confirm the same if and when requested, (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish underwriters opinions of counsel to the Company, addressed to the managing underwriter(s), if any, covering the matters customarily covered in such opinions requested in underwritten offerings, (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain “cold comfort” letters from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are included in the registration statement) who have certified the financial statements included in such registration statement, addressed to each of the managing underwriter(s), if any, such letters to be in customary form and covering matters of the

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to enter into any underwriting agreement or permit any underwritten offering absent an agreement by the applicable underwriter(s) to indemnify the Company in form, scope and substance as is customary in underwritten offerings by the Company in which an affiliate of the Company acts as an underwriter.
          (k) Make available for inspection by a representative of the Subscriber, the managing underwriter(s), if any, and any attorneys or accountants retained by such Subscriber or managing underwriter(s), at the offices where normally kept, during reasonable business hours, financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the officers, directors and employees of the Company to supply all information in each case reasonably requested by any such representative, managing underwriter(s), attorney or accountant in connection with such registration statement.

          (m) If requested by the Subscriber, or the managing underwriter(s), if any, promptly include in a prospectus supplement or amendment such information as the Subscriber or managing underwriter(s), if any, may reasonably request in order to permit the intended method of distribution of such securities and make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or such amendment as soon as practicable after the Company has received such request.
          (n) Timely provide to its security holders earning statements satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder.
     SECTION 4. Suspension of Sales .
