     1.3. Exhibits and Schedules Incorporated. All exhibits and schedules attached hereto or referenced herein, are hereby incorporated into this Agreement.
2. CREDIT FACILITIES.
     2.1. The Loans. Lender agrees to extend to Borrower a Term Loan in the aggregate principal amount of $110 million in accordance with the terms of, and subject to the conditions set forth in, this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents. The entire principal amount of Term Loan shall be borrowed on the Borrowing Date. The principal amount of the Term Loan shall bear interest per annum at a rate equal to the greater of: (i) 6.50%; and (ii) LIBOR plus 500 basis points. The unpaid principal balance plus all accrued but unpaid interest on Term Loan shall be due and payable on (i) the Maturity Date, (ii) such earlier date on which such amount shall become due and payable on account of acceleration by Lender in accordance with the terms of Note and this Agreement or (iii) the date on which Lender converts Note into shares of Common Stock, as set forth in Section 2.8.1.
     2.2. The Note. The Loan shall be evidenced by Note.
     2.3. Maturity Date. On the Maturity Date, all sums due and owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to the Loan shall be repaid in full, provided, however, that Lender may elect to convert the outstanding principal and interest owed under the Note into shares of Common Stock as set forth in Section 2.8. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that Lender has not made any commitments, either express or implied, to extend the terms of the Loan past its Maturity Date, unless Borrower and Lender hereafter specifically otherwise agree in writing.
     2.4. Collateral. Borrower’s Liabilities shall be secured by the collateral pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.
     2.5. The Closing. The funding of the Loan (the “Closing”) will occur at the offices of Barack Ferrazzano Kirschbaum & Nagelberg LLP, counsel to Lender, at 200 West Madison Street, Suite 3900, Chicago, Illinois at 9:30 a.m. on the date of Closing, or at such other place or time or on such other date as the parties hereto may agree, by disbursing the proceeds of the Loan in accordance with any Instructions received at least one Business Day prior to Closing.
     2.6. Interest Rates.
          2.6.1. Interest Rates. The amounts borrowed under the Note shall bear interest per annum as set forth in Section 2.1. For purposes of determining the interest rate on the Note, LIBOR shall be determined as of the first Business Day following an interest payment date and shall continue until the next interest payment date; provided, however, that for the period between the date on which the Disbursement is made and the first interest payment date, LIBOR shall be determined as of the date on which the Disbursement is made.
          2.6.2. Interest Payments. Subject to Section 2.6.3 hereof, interest accrued on the outstanding amount of each Loan shall be payable by Borrower in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September and December (each, an “Interest Payment Date”), commencing on the first such Interest Payment Date following the Closing and ended on the Maturity Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, at its option, pay a portion of the interest payable on an Interest Payment Date by issuing to Lender shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash, provided, however, that at each Interest Payment Date Borrower shall pay an amount of interest payable in cash equal to or greater than (i) the outstanding principal amount of the Loan multiplied by (ii) 5.00% (the “Cash Interest Amount”). The amount of interest payable on an Interest Payment Date that may be paid in shares of Common Stock in

7


 

lieu of cash shall equal (i) the total interest payment due and payable minus (ii) the Cash Interest Amount (the “PIK Interest Amount”). If Borrower elects to pay a portion of the interest payable on an Interest Payment Date through the issuance to Lender of shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall equal (i) the PIK Interest Amount, divided by (ii) the lowest of (A) $0.60 per share, (B) the per share tangible book value of Borrower, determined in accordance with GAAP, as of the last day of the quarter ending on the relevant Interest Payment Date and (C) the Market Price of Common Stock.
          2.6.3. Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest and the payment dates specified in this Section 2.6, effective immediately upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the principal balance of the Loan then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any interest payments not paid within 10 days after the same becomes due shall bear interest payable upon demand at a rate which is 300 basis points per annum in excess of the rate of interest otherwise payable pursuant to this Section 2.6 (the “Default Rate”). In addition, all other amounts due Lender (whether directly or for reimbursement) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, if not paid within five Business Days after becoming due or, in the event no time period is expressed, if not paid within five Business Days after written notice from Lender that the same has become due, shall thereafter bear interest at the foregoing Default Rate. Finally, any amount due on a Maturity Date which is not then paid shall also bear interest thereafter at the Default Rate.
          2.6.4. Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and a year of 360 days. In computing interest, the date of funding shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded; provided, however, that if any funding is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid thereon. The parties hereto intend to conform strictly to applicable usury laws as in effect from time to time during the terms of the Loan. Accordingly, if the transaction contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the United States of America, or of any other jurisdiction whose laws may be mandatorily applicable), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Note, Borrower and Lender agree that the aggregate of all consideration that constitutes interest under applicable law that is contracted for, charged or received under or in connection with this Agreement shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount of interest allowed by applicable law, and any excess shall be credited to Borrower by Lender (or if such consideration shall have been paid in full, such excess refunded to Borrower by Lender).
     2.7. Payments.
          2.7.1. Prepayment. Prior to January 1, 2013, Borrower may not prepay any principal amount outstanding under the Note. On or after January 1, 2013, Borrower may, upon at least ten Business Day’s notice to Lender, prepay, without penalty, the aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Note, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid, together with unpaid accrued interest thereon to but excluding the date of prepayment. This right to prepayment is subject to Lender’s right to convert the principal amount outstanding under the Note into shares of Common Stock as described in Section 2.8 hereof.
          2.7.2. Manner and Time of Payment. Except as set forth in Section 2.6.2, all payments of principal, interest and fees hereunder payable to Lender shall be made, without condition or reservation of right and free of set-off or counterclaim, in U.S. dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant to Lender’s written wire transfer instructions) of immediately available funds delivered to Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. (Chicago time) on the date due. Funds received by Lender after that time and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

8

The Financial Statements are true and correct in all material respects, are in accordance with the respective books of account and records of Borrower and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, or applicable banking rules and regulations, as the case may be, applied on a basis consistent with prior periods, and fairly and accurately present the consolidated financial condition of Borrower and its Subsidiaries and its and their respective assets and liabilities and results of operations as of such date.

Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries enjoy peaceful and undisturbed possession under all of the material leases under which they are operating, all of which permit the customary operations of Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries. None of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in default and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no event has occurred which with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a default under any such lease, except for any default or potential default which would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Neither Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in material default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the terms, obligations, covenants, conditions or provisions contained in any indenture or other agreement creating, evidencing or securing indebtedness of any kind or pursuant to which any such indebtedness is issued, or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or its properties may be bound or affected, which default would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or business of Borrower and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.

In case of any Event of Default hereunder, Borrower shall pay Lender’s reasonable fees and expenses including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or other related documents.
9. MISCELLANEOUS.
     9.1. Release; Indemnification. Borrower hereby releases Lender from any and all causes of action, claims or rights which Borrower may now or hereafter have for, or which may arise from, any loss or damage caused by or resulting from (a) any failure of Lender to protect, enforce or collect in whole or in part any of the Collateral and (b) any other act or omission to act on the part of Lender, its officers, agents or employees, except in each instance for willful misconduct or gross negligence, and except for any breach by Lender of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold Lender and its Affiliates harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, penalties, claims, fines, demands, litigation, defenses, costs, judgments, suits, proceedings, actual damages, disbursements or expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses) which may at any time be either directly or indirectly imposed upon, incurred by or asserted or awarded against Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates in connection with, arising from or relating to Lender’s entering into or carrying out the terms of this Agreement or being the holder of the Note, other than any loss, liability, damage, suit, claim, expense, fees or costs arising solely by reason of Lender’s or any of Lender’s Affiliates’ willful misconduct or gross negligence. This section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
     9.2. Assignment and Participation. Lender may pledge or otherwise hypothecate all or any portion of this Agreement or grant participations herein (provided Lender acts as agent for any participants, except as provided below) or in any of its rights and security hereunder, including, without limitation, the Note. Lender may also assign all or any part of the Loan and Lender’s obligations in connection therewith to one or more commercial banks or other financial institutions or investors with the consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (each an “Assignee

27


 

Lender”). Lender shall notify Borrower in advance of the identity of any proposed Assignee Lender. Upon delivery to Borrower of an executed copy of the Assignee Lender’s assignment and acceptance (a) each such Assignee Lender shall be deemed to be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated to such Assignee Lender, such Assignee Lender shall have the rights and obligations of Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and other related documents (b) Lender, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned and delegated by it, shall be released from its obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the obligation to fund the Assignee Lender’s share of the Loans) and other related documents, except for any liability from actions or omissions of Lender occurring prior to such assignment. Within five Business Days after receipt of a copy of the executed assignment and acceptance document, Borrower shall execute and deliver to Lender a new Note or Notes, as applicable (for delivery to the relevant Assignee Lender), evidencing such Assignee Lender’s assigned portion of the Loans and a replacement Note or Notes, as applicable, in the principal amount of the Loans retained by Lender (such Note to be in exchange for, but not in payment of, the Note then held by Lender). Such Note shall be dated the date of the predecessor Note. Lender shall mark the predecessor Note “exchanged” and deliver it to Borrower. Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Note evidenced by the new Note, and accrued fees, shall be paid as provided in the assignment agreement between Lender and to the Assignee Lender. Accrued interest on that part of the predecessor Note evidenced by the replacement Note shall be paid to Lender. Accrued interest and accrued fees shall be so apportioned between the Notes and paid at the same time or times provided in the predecessor Note and in this Agreement. Borrower authorizes Lender to disclose to any prospective Assignee Lender any financial or other information pertaining to Borrower or the Loans, provided that such prospective Assignee Lender agrees in writing not to disclose such information to any other Person, except as required by law or regulation or as agreed to by Borrower. In addition, Borrower agrees that, if so requested by Lender, Borrower will cause all insurance policies, binders and commitments (including, without limitation, casualty insurance and title insurance) required by the Loan Documents or other related documents to be delivered to Lender to name the Assignee Lender as an additional insured or obligee, as Lender may request. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Agreement, including this Section 9.2, Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents and other related documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release Lender from its obligations thereunder.
     9.3. Prohibition on Assignment. Borrower shall not assign or attempt to assign its rights under this Agreement, either voluntarily or by operation of law.
     9.4. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.
     9.5. No Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision, condition, covenant or agreement herein contained shall be effective unless set forth in a writing signed by Lender, and any such waiver shall be effective only to the extent set forth in such writing. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising, by Lender or any holder of the Note, of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or remedy provided by law. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any right or remedy provided by law or equity. No notice or demand on Borrower in any case shall, in itself, entitle Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Lender to or of any breach or default by Borrower in the performance of its obligations hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Borrower hereunder.

28


 

Failure on the part of Lender to complain of any acts or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies on account of any breach or default by Borrower.
     9.6. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is unenforceable or invalid or contrary to law, or the inclusion of which would adversely affect the validity, legality or enforcement of this Agreement, shall be of no effect and, in such case, all the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall subsist and be fully effective according to the tenor of this Agreement the same as though any such invalid portion had never been included herein. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, if any provisions of this Agreement or the application thereof are held invalid or unenforceable only as to particular persons or situations, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to persons or situations other than those to which it shall have been held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, but shall continue valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
     9.7. Usury; Revival of Liabilities. All agreements between Borrower and Lender (including, without limitation, this Agreement and any other Loan Documents) are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under the laws of the State of Illinois. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof or of any other Loan Documents, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under the laws of the State of Illinois, and if for any reason whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount which would be deemed unlawful, such interest shall be applied to the payment of the last maturing installment or installments of the indebtedness secured by the Collateral (whether or not then due and payable) and not to the payment of interest. To the extent that Lender received any payment on account of Borrower’s Liabilities and any such payment(s) and/or proceeds or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, subordinated and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any bankruptcy act, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such payment(s) or proceeds received, Borrower’s Liabilities or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment(s) and/or proceeds had not been received by Lender and applied on account of Borrower’s Liabilities; provided, however, if Lender successfully contests any such invalidation, declaration, set aside, subordination or other order to pay any such payment and/or proceeds to any third party, the revived Borrower’s Liabilities shall be deemed satisfied.
     9.8. Notices. Any notice which either party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be deemed to have been given if in writing and if delivered personally, or if mailed, postage prepaid, by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or if delivered by a responsible overnight courier, addressed:

FORM OF NOTE
     
$110,000,00   Chicago, Illinois
                              , 2010
     
     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, ANCHOR BANCORP WISCONSIN INC., a Wisconsin corporation (“Borrower”), promises to pay to the order of BADGER ANCHOR HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or the holder hereof from time to time (“Lender”), at such place as may be designated in writing by Lender, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($110,000,000), with interest thereon as hereinafter provided. This note (this “Note”) is issued pursuant to the terms of a Loan Agreement of even date herewith by and between Borrower and Lender, as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Loan Agreement.
     Interest shall accrue on all sums as advanced and outstanding from time to time under this Note and Loan Agreement as set forth in the Loan Agreement, and such interest shall be due and payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December as set forth in the Loan Agreement, commencing on the first such date following the Closing. All sums owing hereunder are payable in lawful money of the United States of America, in immediately available funds; provided, however, that a portion of each interest payment may be paid in shares of Borrower common stock as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
     The outstanding principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. Additional principal payments shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Agreement.
     This Note is convertible into shares of Common Stock as set forth in the Loan Agreement.
     This Note is issued pursuant to the terms of the Loan Agreement and is secured by and entitled to the benefits of, among other things, the Term Collateral Documents. In case an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of this Note together with all accrued interest thereon may, at the option of the holder hereof, immediately become due and payable on demand; provided, however, that if any document related to this Note provides for automatic acceleration of payment of sums owing hereunder, all sums owing hereunder shall be automatically due and payable in accordance with the terms of that document.
     Unless otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, all payments on account of the indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be first applied to the payment of costs and expenses of Lender which are due and payable, then to past-due interest on the unpaid principal balance and the remainder to principal.
     If any interest payment required hereunder is not received by Lender on or before the tenth day following the date it becomes due, Borrower shall pay, at Lender’s option, a late or collection charge equal to 5.00% of the amount of such unpaid interest payment.
     From and after the Maturity Date, or such earlier date as all sums owing on this Note become due and payable by acceleration or otherwise, or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, interest shall be computed on all amounts then due and payable under this Note at a “Default Rate” equal to 300 basis points per annum (based on a 360-day year and charged on the basis of actual days elapsed) in excess of the interest rate otherwise accruing under this Note.

A-1


 

     If any attorney is engaged by Lender to enforce or defend any provision of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents, or as a consequence of any Event of Default, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, then Borrower shall pay to Lender immediately upon demand all attorneys’ fees and expenses, together with interest thereon from the date of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance owing hereunder as if such unpaid attorneys’ fees and expenses had been added to the principal.
     No previous waiver and no failure or delay by Lender or Borrower in acting with respect to the terms of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents shall constitute a waiver of any breach, default or failure of condition under this Note, the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the obligations secured thereby. A waiver of any term of this Note or any of the other Loan Documents or of any of the obligations secured thereby must be made in writing and shall be limited to the express written terms of such waiver. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms of this Note and the terms of any other document related to the Loan evidenced by this Note, the terms of this Note shall prevail.
     Except as otherwise provided in the Loan Agreement, Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand, notice of dishonor, notice of default or delinquency, notice of acceleration, notice of protest and nonpayment, notice of costs, expenses or losses and interest thereon, notice of late charges, and diligence in taking any action to collect any sums owing under this Note or in proceeding against any of the rights or interests in or to properties securing payment of this Note. In addition, Borrower expressly agrees that this Note and any payment coming due hereunder may be extended from time to time without in any way affecting the liability of any such party hereunder.
     Time is of the essence with respect to every provision hereof. This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, except to the extent that federal laws preempt the laws of the State of Illinois, and all persons and entities in any manner obligated under this Note consent to the jurisdiction of any Federal or State court within the State of Illinois having proper venue and also consent to service of process by any means authorized by Illinois or Federal law. Any reference contained herein to attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be deemed to be to reasonable fees and expenses and to include all reasonable fees and expenses of third-party attorneys and the reasonable fees and expenses of any other experts or consultants.
     All agreements between Borrower and Lender (including, without limitation, this Note and the Loan Agreement, and any other documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced hereby) are expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Lender exceed the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provision hereof, the Loan Agreement or any other documents securing all or any part of the indebtedness evidenced hereby at the time performance of such provisions shall be due, shall involve exceeding the limit of validity prescribed by law which a court of competent jurisdiction may deem applicable hereto, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the highest lawful rate of interest permissible under such applicable laws, and if, for any reason whatsoever, Lender shall ever receive as interest an amount which would be deemed unlawful under such applicable law, such interest shall be automatically applied to the payment of the principal of this Note (whether or not then due and payable) and not to the payment of interest or refunded to Borrower if such principal has been paid in full.
     Any notice which either party hereto may be required or may desire to give hereunder shall be governed by the notice provisions of the Loan Agreement.
