ARTICLE III. RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER OF SHARES
Section 3.01. Transfer Restrictions. No Shareholders may transfer or in any way dispose of any of his or her Shares or any right or interest therein without first complying with the provisions of this Article III; provided, however, that a transfer by a Shareholder of his or her Shares to his or her spouse or to his or her direct descendants or to a trust for the benefit of the Shareholder or any of the foregoing or to a corporation wholly owned by the Shareholder or any of the foregoing (a “Permitted Transferee”) shall not be subject to the transfer restrictions of this Article III. Any Permitted Transferee who receives any of the Shares shall automatically become a party to this VTA, and hold all such Shares subject to all of the provisions and restrictions of this VTA, and such Shares may not thereafter be transferred except in the manner and on the terms provided in this VTA.
Section 3.02. Transfer Notice. At least thirty (30) days prior to any proposed transfer, other than a transfer to a Permitted Transferee, by any Shareholder (the “Transferring Shareholder”) of any of his or her Shares, or any right or interest therein, the Transferring Shareholder will provide written notice (the “Transfer Notice”) to the Trustee and the other Shareholders (the “Non-Transferring Shareholders”). The Transfer Notice will set forth the name of the proposed transferee, the number of Shares to be transferred, and price offered per Share, the terms of payment, and any other terms and conditions of the proposed transfer (the “Transferee’s Terms and Conditions”).
Section 3.03. Meeting. Upon receipt of the Transfer Notice, the Trustee will call a meeting of the Non-Transferring Shareholders so that they may exercise the right to purchase the Shares of the Transferring Shareholder. Such meeting will be held within twenty (20) days from the date of service of the Transfer Notice upon the Trustee.
Section 3.04. Right to Purchase Shares. The Non-Transferring Shareholders shall have the right to purchase the Shares from the Transferring Shareholder upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Transfer Notice. The Non-Transferring Shareholders electing to purchase the Shares (the “Electing Shareholders”) may purchase such Shares in the proportion that the number of Shares held by each Electing Shareholder bears to the total number of Shares held by all Electing Shareholders, or in such other proportions as the Electing Shareholders may otherwise agree.
Section 3.05. Purchase of One Hundred Per Cent. The right of the Non-Transferring Shareholders to exercise the right to purchase the Shares of the Transferring Shareholder as set forth in this Article III is subject to and dependent upon their purchase of one hundred per cent (100%) of the Shares set forth in the Transfer Notice.
Section 3.06. Exercise of Option. To exercise the right to purchase the Shares of the Transferring Shareholder, the Trustee on behalf of the Electing Shareholders will serve, within thirty (30) days of the date of service of the Transfer Notice upon the Trustee, written notice upon the Transferring Shareholder setting forth the names of each Electing Shareholder and the number of Shares each Electing Shareholder has elected to purchase. Any Shares purchased by the Electing Shareholders pursuant to this Article III shall continue to be held subject to all of the provisions and restrictions of this VTA, and may not thereafter be transferred except in the manner and on the terms provided in this VTA.
Section 3.07. Transfer to Transferee. If, within thirty (30) days from the date of service of the Transfer Notice upon the Trustee, the Non-Transferring Shareholders have not elected to purchase all the Shares of the Transferring Shareholder on the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice, the Transferring Shareholder may then transfer the Shares free of the provisions and restrictions of this VTA to the proposed transferee, but only at the price and upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Transfer Notice.
Section 3.08. Limitation on Transfer. If the Shares have not been transferred to the proposed transferee within forty (40) days from the date of service of the Transfer Notice upon the Trustee, the Shares may not thereafter be transferred except in the manner and on the terms provided in this VTA.
Section 3.09. Transfers in Violation of Article III. Any transfer in violation of this Article III shall be subject to the provisions of Article IV.
ARTICLE IV. PROHIBITED TRANSFERS.
Section 4.01. Option to Purchase. If any Shareholder transfers or disposes of any of his or her Shares without complying with the provisions of Article III of this VTA (a “Prohibited Transfer”), the Transferee shall then hold all of such Shares subject to all of the provisions and restrictions of this VTA, and such Shares may not thereafter be transferred except in the manner and on the terms provided in this VTA. Additionally, the Non-Transferring Shareholders shall have the option (the “Option”) to purchase the Shares of the Transferee for cash at the purchase price as hereinafter determined (the “Purchase Price”). The term of the Option (the “Option Term”) shall continue from the date of the Prohibited Transfer until three (3) years following receipt by the Trustee and the Non-Transferring Shareholders of written notice of the Prohibited Transfer (the “Prohibited Transfer Notice”). The Prohibited Transfer Notice shall set forth the name of the Transferring Shareholder, the name of the Transferee, the consideration paid for the Shares, if any, and the date of the Prohibited Transfer.
Section 4.02. Shareholder Notice of Meeting. If at any time during the Option Term any Non-Transferring Shareholder desires to exercise the Option, such Non-Transferring Shareholder shall provide written notice to the Trustee and the other Non-Transferring Shareholders stating that such Non-Transferring Shareholder desires to exercise the Option to purchase the Shares of the Transferee (the “Shareholder Notice”). Upon receipt of the Shareholder Notice, the Trustee shall call a meeting of the Non-Transferring Shareholders. The meeting of the Non-Transferring Shareholders will be held within thirty (30) days from the date of service of the Shareholder Notice upon the Trustee. The election to exercise the Option shall be made only upon a vote of a Majority-In-Interest of the Shares. If a Majority-In-Interest of the Shares does not agree to exercise the Option to purchase the Shares, the Option shall continue and any Shareholders may thereafter send a new Shareholder Notice in accordance with this Section 4.02.
Section 4.03. Shares Purchased in Proportion to Ownership. When a Majority-In-Interest of the Shares agree to exercise the Option, the Shares subject to the Option shall be purchased in the proportion that the number of Shares held by each Non-Transferring Shareholder electing to purchase the Shares (the “Electing Shareholders”) bears the total number of Shares held by all Electing Shareholders, or in such other proportion as the Electing Shareholders may otherwise agree.
Section 4.04. Purchase of One Hundred Per Cent (100%). The right of the Non-Transferring Shareholders to exercise the Option is subject to and dependent upon the purchase of one hundred per cent (100%) of the Shares received by the Transferee.
Section 4.05. Exercise of Option. To exercise the Option, the Trustee, on behalf of the Electing Shareholders shall serve written notice upon the Transferee (the “Option Notice”) exercising the Option and setting forth the name of each Electing Shareholder and the number of Shares each Electing Shareholder has elected to purchase.
Section 4.06. Agreement on Purchase Price. The Purchase Price of the Shares subject to the Option shall be the lower of the Fair Market Value of the Shares at the time of the Prohibited Transfer (the “Transfer Fair Market Value”) or the Fair Market Value at the time of the exercise of the Option (the “Option Fair Market Value”). Within sixty (60) days following the Option Notice, the Transferee and the Electing Shareholders shall agree upon the Purchase Price. If the parties are unable to agree on the Purchase Price within said sixty (60) day period, then within thirty (30) days after the expiration of that period, the Transferee and the Electing Shareholders shall each engage at their own cost an appraiser to act on their behalf in determining the Purchase Price for the Shares. If either the Electing Shareholders or the Transferee fail to appoint an appraiser within such thirty (30) day period, then the single appraiser appointed shall be the sole appraiser and shall set the Purchase Price for the Shares subject to the Option. If the two appraisers are appointed and they are unable to agree on the Purchase Price within thirty (30) days after the appointment of the second appraiser, then the two appraisers, within fifteen (15) days after the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, shall select a third appraiser. The Transferee and the Electing Shareholders shall each bear one-half (1/2) of the cost of the third appraiser. Within fifteen (15) days after the selection of the third appraiser a majority of the appraisers shall agree upon the Purchase Price. If a majority of the appraisers is unable to agree upon the Purchase Price within the stipulated period, each appraiser shall within fifteen (15) days thereafter render a separate appraisal. The Purchase Price arrived at by the three appraisers shall be averaged and the resulting average shall be deemed the Purchase Price, except that if the Purchase Price arrived at in any of the appraisals is more than ten per cent (10%) higher or lower than the middle appraiser Purchase Price, such higher or lower appraisal shall be discarded and the remaining two appraised values shall be averaged.
Section 4.07. Purchase of Shares. Within thirty (30) days following the determination of the Purchase Price, the Electing Shareholders shall purchase all of the Shares of the Transferee received in the Prohibited Transaction for cash. The Shares purchased shall continue to be held pursuant to the provisions and restrictions of this VTA, and may not thereafter be transferred except in the manner and on the terms provided in this VTA.
ARTICLE V. VOTING AND ACTION BY TRUSTEE
Section 5.01. Voting of Shares. Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section 5.02 and Section 10.01, the Trustee shall possess and have unrestricted discretion with respect to the Shares to exercise, in person or by her nominee or proxy, the unqualified right to vote, consent to or take any shareholder action of any kind whatsoever concerning BankGuam; provided, however, that in selecting a nominee or proxy under this VTA, the Trustee shall select only a nominee or proxy who is either a Shareholder, a member of the Board of Directors of BankGuam or an officer of BankGuam holding the position of Assistant Vice President or above. The right of the Trustee to vote, consent to or take any shareholder action with respect to the Shares shall include, without limitation, the right (subject to the provisions of Section 10.01) to vote for or against the election of any director (including the right to vote for herself and/or any member of her family as a director); to vote for or against the removal of any director; to vote for or against any resolution; to vote for or against any proposed dissolution or liquidation, merger or consolidation of BankGuam; to vote for or against a sale of all or substantially all of BankGuam’s assets; to vote for or against the issuance or creation of additional securities; to vote for or against the creation of additional securities; to vote for or against the creation of additional subsidiaries for BankGuam; to consent or not consent to any matter which may require the consent of the Shareholders of BankGuam; or to vote for or against any matter which may be presented at any meeting of the shareholders of BankGuam (whether or not notice of such matter to be voted on has been given to the Shareholders), including the right to vote for any matter which may be of benefit to the Trustee or members of the Trustee’s family or to vote against any matter which may be of detriment to the Trustee or members of the Trustee’s family. The right to vote for or against any matter shall include the right to abstain or otherwise withhold a vote on that matter.
Section 5.02. Notice of Shareholder Action. To the extent feasible, the Trustee shall provide each of the Shareholders with at least ten (10) days written notice of any action which the Trustee proposes to take prior to exercising the right to vote, consent to or take any shareholder action as authorized under this VTA. The Trustee may exercise the right to vote, consent to or take the proposed shareholder action set forth in the notice to the Shareholders unless the Trustee is advised within ten (10) days following the date of service of the notice upon the Shareholders in writing by Shareholders holding a Majority-In-Interest of the Shares that the Trustee is not authorized to take the proposed action.
Section 5.03. Trustee’s Relationship with BankGuam. The Trustee, her agents or affiliates, may contract, or have any financial dealings, with BankGuam, or any of their affiliated corporations, as fully and freely as though the Trustee were not a Trustee under this VTA. The Trustee, her employees or agents, may act as directors or officers of BankGuam or of any affiliated corporations.
Section 5.04. Compensation of Trustee. The Trustee shall serve without compensation.
Section 5.05. Expenses. The Trustee is expressly authorized to incur and pay such reasonable expenses and charges, and to employ and pay such agents, attorneys, and consultants as the Trustee may deem necessary and proper for administering this VTA. The Shareholders and each of them agree to reimburse the Trustee for such expenses and charges in proportion to that Shareholder’s proportionate interest in the Shares at the time such expenses or charge is incurred. The Shareholders authorize BankGuam upon written application by the Trustee to deduct any such expenses and charges not paid by the Shareholders from dividends or other distributions to be made to such Shareholders and to pay such sums to the Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to a lien for such expenses and charges upon the Shares, funds, or other property of the Shareholders in the possession of BankGuam.
Section 5.06. Trustee’s Liability. The Trustee shall not be liable in acting on any notice, request, consent, certificate, instruction or other paper or document or signature believed to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper party or parties. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment of mistake of fact or law, or for any action or omissions undertaken in good faith concerning his powers and duties under this VTA. The Trustee may consult with legal counsel, and any action taken under this VTA in good faith by the Trustee in accordance with the opinion of legal counsel shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties.
Section 5.07. Limitations on Lawsuits Against Officers and Directors. The Parties agree that one of the objectives of this VTA is to preclude the cost and expense of disruptive intracorporate litigation. To that end, the Parties agree that if any Shareholder seeks to institute, or in any way to assist or abet, any litigation purporting to be on behalf of BankGuam, or any of its affiliated corporations, in such Shareholder’s capacity as a share owner, against any officer or director of BankGuam, or any of its affiliated corporations, such Shareholder (the “Litigating Shareholder”) shall be deemed to have given a Transfer of Notice under Section 3.02 above, as of the date such suit is filed and served (the “trigger date”), proposing to transfer all of the Litigating Shareholder’s Shares to BankGuam at a price computed as the net book value per share of such shares as of the last day of the fiscal year immediately preceding the trigger date, provided, however, that Section 4.04 shall not apply to the procedure, and the Non-Transferring Shareholders need not purchase one hundred percent (100%) of the Shares of the Litigating Shareholder.
ARTICLE VI. DIVIDENDS AND NEW SHARES
Section 6.01. Cash Dividends. The Shareholders (other than a Litigating Shareholder) shall be entitled to receive all cash dividends except as provided in Section 5.05.
Section 6.02. Additional Shares. If any Shareholder receives any additional shares of BankGuam during the term of this VTA (the “Additional Shares”), as a dividend, or distribution, or through the exercise of subscription rights or through purchase, gift, inheritance or otherwise, such Additional Shares shall become subject to all of the provisions and restrictions of this VTA, and may not thereafter be transferred except in the manner and on the terms provided in this VTA. The Trustee shall amend Exhibit A of this VTA to reflect the Shareholder’s receipt of such Additional Shares.
ARTICLE VII. TRUSTEE
Section 7.01. Term of Trustee. Unless the Trustee resigns, becomes incapacitated, or dies, the Trustee shall serve for the entire term of this VTA. The Trustee’s successor shall be appointed as provided in Section 7.03 of this VTA.

Section 7.03. Successor Trustee. The Executing Trustee as defined in Section 11.03 shall have the right to name in writing a successor Trustee (the “Successor Trustee”) to succeed her as trustee under this VTA. The Trustee shall deliver written notice of the name of the Successor Trustee to the Shareholders and BankGuam. The Trustee shall have the right to change the name of the Successor Trustee upon written notice to the Shareholders and BankGuam at any time before the Trustee resigns, becomes incapacitated, or dies. If the Trustee does not name a Successor Trustee, or if the Successor Trustee is unable to act or does not agree to act as Trustee under this VTA, then the Successor Trustee shall be elected by an affirmative vote of a Majority-in-Interest of the Shares. If the Executing Trustee names her Successor Trustee, that Successor Trustee shall have the same right as the Executing Trustee to name in writing his or her Successor Trustee. Thereafter the Successor Trustee shall be elected by an affirmative vote of a Majority-In-Interest of the Shares. Any Successor Trustee shall execute a copy of this VTA agreeing to act as Trustee in accordance with the terms of this VTA.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Successor Trustee shall succeed the Executing Trustee or a prior Successor Trustee under this VTA unless such a successor Trustee has complied into the requirements of the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as then in effect, including submission to the Federal Reserve of a Notice of Acquisition of Control, if any such requirement is necessary.

Section 8.02. Inspection of Records. The books and records of this Trust shall be open to inspection by any of the Parties at any reasonable time.

It is the intent and purpose of this clause that this VTA shall terminate within the period of the rule against perpetuities and that no interest created herein shall be construed in such a manner that it will be invalid under that rule.
Section 9.03. Termination by Majority. The Shareholders agree that this VTA may be terminated by the vote of a Majority-In-Interest of the Shares owned by the Shareholders at a meeting called by any Shareholder upon thirty (30) days written notice.
