WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders party thereto previously entered into that certain Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated as of March 17, 2022 (including the exhibits and other attachments thereto, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Credit Agreement”, and as further amended by this Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”);

WHEREAS, Borrower, Purchasers and the RIFA Agent are parties to the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2022 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Revenue Interest Financing Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Borrower has advised the Agent that the Borrower is in breach of Section 10.01 of the Credit Agreement from and after July 19, 2023 (the “Default Date”), as a result of which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing pursuant to Section 11.01(d) of the Credit Agreement (the “Specified Default”) as of the Default Date;

WHEREAS, the consummation of the exchange contemplated by Section 3 hereof is a condition precedent to the Lenders’ willingness to provide the new money Tranche A-2 Term Loans and the other amendments contemplated hereby; and

 

4886-6992-8312 v.3


 

WHEREAS, the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to amend the Existing Credit Agreement, and the Borrower, the RIF Agent and the Purchasers have agreed to amend the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the above premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders party hereto, the RIFA Agent and the Purchasers party hereto hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

1.
Definitions. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Existing Credit Agreement.
2.
Amendments. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 5 hereof, on the First Amendment Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement shall be amended as set forth on Exhibit A to this Amendment.
(a)
Language inserted into the applicable section of the Existing Credit Agreement is evidenced by bold and underline formatting (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: double underlined text). Language deleted from the applicable section of the Credit Agreement is evidenced by strike-through formatting (indicated textually in the same manner as the following example: stricken text);
(b)
Schedule 1 to the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as set forth on Exhibit B hereto; and
(c)
Except the extent specifically set forth in Exhibit A or in Exhibit B, the Exhibits and Schedules to the Credit Agreement are not amended or modified hereby in any respect.

It is agreed that no conforming revisions have been made to the other Loan Documents, and, to the extent that there other revisions to the Loan Documents necessitated by this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to cooperate and make reasonable revisions to such other Loan Documents to reflect the agreements contained in this Amendment. Any references to the Credit Agreement in the other Loan Documents shall mean the Credit Agreement as amended by this Agreement.

3.
Exchange.
(a)
Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent specified in Section 6 hereof, on the First Amendment Effective Date, each of the Purchasers shall receive Tranche A-2 Term Loans in a principal amount equal to such Purchaser’s Proportionate Share (as defined in the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement) of $9,000,000.
(b)
Upon receipt by each Purchaser of such Tranche A-2 Term Loans, each Purchaser shall be deemed to have automatically contributed to the Borrower its Proportionate

2

 

4886-6992-8312 v.3


 

Share (as defined in the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement) of the Exchanged RIFA Obligations in exchange for such Tranche A-2 Term Loans, and upon such contribution the Exchanged RIFA Obligations shall be deemed discharged in full. The “Exchanged RIFA Obligations” means a portion of the RIFA Obligations corresponding to $9,000,000 of the Purchase Price (as defined in the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement) in the aggregate.
(c)
The Borrower agrees that the Exchanged RIFA Obligations shall be reinstated with full force and effect if at any time on or after the First Amendment Effective Date the exchange contemplated by this Section 3 or all or any portion of the Tranche A-2 Term Loans issued to the Purchasers pursuant to this Section 3 are voided, rescinded, disallowed or held not to be valid and enforceable first priority secured claims in any way, including in connection the Borrower’s insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or otherwise, all as if the transactions contemplated by this Amendment had not occurred.
(d)
The Revenue Interest Financing Agreement shall be deemed amended as may be necessary to give effect to the contribution and discharge of the Exchanged RIFA Obligations pursuant to this Section 3. This Amendment shall not impair, affect or limit in any way the remaining Obligations under the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement (other than the Exchanged RIFA Obligations). The Borrower, in its capacity as “Company” under the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement, agrees and acknowledges that after giving effect hereto, there shall remain outstanding Obligations corresponding to $41,000,000 of Purchase Price (as defined in the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement).
(e)
The exchange contemplated by this Section 3 shall not reduce the amount payable by the Borrower to the Purchasers pursuant to the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023 or any other amounts accrued and otherwise payable under the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement on or prior to the First Amendment Effective Date.
4.
Specified Default. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Amendment is intended, or shall be deemed or construed, to (i) constitute a waiver of the Specified Default or any existing or future Defaults or Events of Default (including any Event of Default arising from the Specified Default) or compliance with any term or provision of the Loan Documents or at law or in equity, (ii) establish a custom or course of dealing between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and/or any Lenders, on the other hand, or (iii) waive, alter or impair the obligations or any of the rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders expressly reserve all of their rights, powers, privileges and remedies under the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise with respect to any Default or Event of Default (including the Specified Default) now existing or hereafter arising under the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, including (as applicable): (i) the right to declare the commitments to be terminated, (ii) the right to demand immediate full payment of all Obligations owing under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iii) the right to demand default

3

 

4886-6992-8312 v.3


 

interest and (iv) the right to enforce any remedies in respect of assets subject to a security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent, including applying any cash collateral to repay any outstanding Obligations. The failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise any such rights, powers, privileges and remedies is not intended, and shall not be construed, to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default (including the Specified Default). The Administrative Agent and Lenders may elect to exercise any or all of their rights, at their sole option, at any time hereafter, without the necessity of any further notice, demand or other action on the part of the Administrative Agent or Lenders. To the extent that the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document prohibits, restricts or limits the use of or reliance on any “basket” by any of the Obligors or any of their respective Subsidiaries upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default, or includes any other limitation, restriction or prohibition on certain actions or inactions that may be taken or omitted or otherwise acquiesced to by or on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, then such prohibition, restriction or limitation shall continue to apply, and nothing herein shall be construed as permitting the Obligors or any of their Subsidiaries to take any action that is not permitted to be taken, or have any right not allowed, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default or Event of Default pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.
5.
Reaffirmation of Loan Documents. The Borrower, as Grantor under the Security Documents, hereby (i) agrees that each of the Loan Documents is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby in all respects ratified and confirmed on the First Amendment Effective Date, except that, on and after the First Amendment Effective Date, each reference to “Credit Agreement”, “this Agreement”, “thereunder”, “thereof” or words of like import shall, unless the context otherwise requires, mean and be a reference to the Existing Credit Agreement as amended by this Amendment and (ii) confirms that the Security Documents and all of the Collateral described therein do, and shall continue to, secure the payment in full and performance of all of the Secured Obligations.
6.
Conditions Precedent to Effectiveness. This Amendment shall not be effective and each Lender shall not be obligated to make its Tranche A-2 Loans unless and until each of the following conditions precedent has been fulfilled to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders party hereto (the date of such fulfillment, the “First Amendment Effective Date”):
(a)
This Amendment shall have been duly executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and the Lenders, which constitute Majority Lenders;
(b)
The Administrative Agent shall have received, for the benefit of the Lenders, payment of all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans since the most recent Payment Date through and including the First Amendment Effective Date (in an amount equal to $1,104,103.78), which interest shall be paid “in kind” by adding and capitalizing such amount to the outstanding principal amount of the Tranche A-1 Term Loans (and the amount so capitalized shall constitute “principal” for all purposes of the Loan Documents from and after the First Amendment Effective Date);

4

 

4886-6992-8312 v.3


 

(c)
The Borrower shall have made the quarterly payment to the Purchasers pursuant to Section 2.02(c) of the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2023 in an amount equal to $510,274 (it being agreed that such amount shall be netted from the proceeds of the Tranche A-2 Term Loans funded on the First Amendment Effective Date and such amount shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the RIFA Agent for the account of the Purchasers);
(d)
The Borrower shall have paid $250,000 to Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, as outside counsel to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, in partial satisfaction of its fees and out-of-pocket expenses accrued to date (it being agreed that such amount shall be netted from the proceeds of the Tranche A-2 Term Loans funded on the First Amendment Effective Date and such amount shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to Sullivan & Cromwell LLP for the account of the Purchasers);
(e)
The representations and warranties in Section 7 of this Amendment, Section 7 of the Credit Agreement and elsewhere in the Loan Documents shall be true, correct and complete in all material respects (unless such representations are already qualified by reference to materiality, Material Adverse Effect or similar language, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the date hereof with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly relate to an earlier date; provided further that the Specified Default shall be excluded with respect to any representation and warranty;
(f)
At the time of and after giving effect to this Amendment, no fact or condition exists that could (or could, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both) constitute an Event of Default (other than the Specified Default); and
(g)
The Administrative Agent shall have received a duly executed legal opinion of counsel to the Obligors dated as of the First Amendment Effective Date, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
(h)
The Administrative Agent shall have received from each Obligor (x) a copy of a good standing certificate, dated a date reasonably close to the First Amendment Effective Date, for each such Person and (y) a certificate, dated as of the First Amendment Effective Date, duly executed and delivered by such Person’s Responsible Officer, as to:
(i)
resolutions of each such Person’s Board then in full force and effect authorizing the execution, delivery and performance of each Loan Document to be executed by such Person and the Transactions;
(ii)
the incumbency and signatures of Responsible Officers authorized to execute and deliver each Loan Document to be executed by such Person; and

5

 

4886-6992-8312 v.3


 

(iii)
the full force and validity of each Organic Document of such Person and copies thereof;

upon which certificates shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and upon which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may conclusively rely until they shall have received a further certificate of the Responsible Officer of any such Person cancelling or amending the prior certificate of such Person.

(i)
The Administrative Agent shall have received a Borrowing Notice as required pursuant to Section 2.02 of the Credit Agreement.
(j)
The Administrative Agent shall have received, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such other documents, instruments and agreements as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders.
7.
Representations and Warranties. The Borrower hereby represents and warrants:
(a)
The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of this Amendment and the documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection herewith (collectively, the “Amendment Documents”), the Borrower’s consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Amendment Documents and performance under the Amendment Documents do not and will not (i) conflict with any of its organizational, constitutional or constituent documents; (ii) contravene, conflict with, constitute a default under or violate any Law except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iii) contravene, conflict or violate any applicable order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any Governmental Authority by which it or any of its property or assets may be bound or affected except as would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) require any action by, filing, registration, or qualification with, or approval of, any Governmental Authority (except such approval which has already been obtained and is in full force and effect, or the filing of any UCC financing statement) except where the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or (v) constitute a default under or conflict with any Material Agreement that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)
This Amendment and the other Amendment Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Borrower and constitute legal, valid and binding agreements of the Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject, as to enforcement, to (x) the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, examinership or similar laws affecting the enforcement or creditors’ rights and (y) general principles of equity).
(c)
The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the Amendment and the other Amendment Documents executed or to be executed by it is in each case within the Borrower’s powers.

8.
Release.
(a)
In consideration of this Amendment and agreements of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the RIFA Agent and the Purchasers contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Borrower (the “Releasing Party”), on behalf of itself and its successors, assigns and other legal representatives hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably releases, remises and forever discharges the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the RIFA Agent, the Purchasers and their respective present and former shareholders, affiliates, subsidiaries, divisions, predecessors, directors, officers, attorneys, employees, agents and other representatives, in each case solely in their capacities relative to the Lenders and not in any other capacity such party may have relative to the Releasing Party (the Administrative Agent, each Lender and all such other Persons being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Releasees” and individually as a “Releasee”), of and from all demands, actions, causes of action, suits, covenants, contracts, controversies, agreements, promises, sums of money, accounts, bills, reckonings, damages and any and all other claims, counterclaims, defenses, rights of set-off, demands and liabilities whatsoever of every name and nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, which the Borrower or any of its successors, assigns or other legal representatives may now or hereafter own, hold, have or claim to have against the Releasees or any of them for, upon, or by reason of any circumstance, action, cause or thing whatsoever which arises at any time on or prior to the First Amendment Effective Date, for or on account of, or in relation to, or in any way in connection with the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or transactions thereunder (any of the foregoing, a “Claim” and collectively, the “Claims”). The Releasing Party expressly acknowledges and agrees, with respect to the Claims, that it waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any and all provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any applicable U.S. federal or state law, or any principle of U.S. common law, that would otherwise limit a release or discharge of any unknown Claims pursuant to this Section 8. Furthermore, the Releasing Party hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Releasee that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Releasee on the basis of any Claim released and/or discharged by the Releasing Parties pursuant to this Section 8. The foregoing release, covenant and waivers of this Section 8 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment or prepayment of any of the Loans, or the termination of the Credit Agreement, this Amendment, any other Loan Document, the Revenue Interest Financing Agreement or any provision hereof or thereof.
(b)
Each Releasing Party understands, acknowledges and agrees that its release set forth above may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

7

 

4886-6992-8312 v.3


 

(c)
Each Releasing Party agrees that no fact, event, circumstance, evidence or transaction which could now be asserted or which may hereafter be discovered shall affect in any manner the final, absolute and unconditional nature of the release set forth above.
9.
Fees and Expenses. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders accrued prior to the First Amendment Effective Date and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders incurred in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of (i) this Amendment, (ii) any Amendment Documents, other Loan Documents or other post-closing amendments, agreements, arrangements or documentation and (iii) any other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder or thereunder, including, without limitation, the fees and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP, as outside counsel to Administrative Agent and the Lenders, with respect thereto.
10.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, (i) all provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents remain in full force and effect and (ii) the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Existing Credit Agreement or any of the Loan Documents. None of the Administrative Agent or any Lender is under any obligation to enter into this Amendment. The entering into of this Amendment by such parties shall not be deemed to limit or hinder any rights of any such party under the Loan Documents, nor shall it be deemed to create or infer a course of dealing between any such party, on the one hand, and the Borrower, on the other hand, with regard to any provision of the Loan Documents.
(b)
This Amendment shall constitute a Loan Document.
(c)
This Amendment may be executed in several counterparts and by each party on a separate counterpart, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. An executed facsimile or electronic copy of this Amendment shall be effective for all purposes as an original hereof. The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to any document to be signed in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby (including without limitation assignments, assumptions, amendments, waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures, the electronic matching of assignment terms and contract formations on electronic platforms approved by the Administrative Agent, or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State

8

 

4886-6992-8312 v.3


 

Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
(d)
This Amendment expresses the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the amendments contemplated hereby. No prior negotiations or discussions shall limit, modify, or otherwise affect the provisions hereof.
(e)
This Amendment and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the law of the State of New York, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.
(f)
Save to the extent expressly provided for in any Loan Document to the contrary, all judicial proceedings (to the extent that the reference requirement of Section 10(g) is not applicable) arising in or under or related to this Amendment may be brought in any state or federal court located in the State of New York. By execution and delivery of this Amendment, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (a) consents to nonexclusive personal jurisdiction in New York County, State of New York; (b) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in New York County, State of New York; (c) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (d) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Amendment. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Amendment shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 14.02 of the Credit Agreement, and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 14.02 of the Credit Agreement. Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.
(g)
Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert Person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF THE BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND LENDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY THE BORROWER AGAINST ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE OR BY ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, LENDER OR THEIR RESPECTIVE ASSIGNEE AGAINST THE BORROWER. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve Persons other than Administrative Agent, the Borrower and Lender; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship among the Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lender; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, tort, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

If a Lender shall have determined that, on or after the date hereof (or, with respect to any Lender, such later date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), the adoption of any Law regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof (or, with respect to any Lender, such later date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of a Lender (or its parent) as a consequence of a Lender’s obligations hereunder or the Loans to a level below that which a Lender (or its parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or directive by an amount reasonably deemed by it to be material, then the Borrower shall pay to such Lender , within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the certificate contemplated by Section 5.01(c), such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender (or its parent) for such reduction.
(c)
Notification by Lender. Each Lender promptly will notify the Borrower of any event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof (or, with respect to any Lender, such later date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement), which will entitle such Lender to compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01. Before giving any such notice pursuant to this Section 5.01(c) such Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation (x) will, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and (y) will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be materially disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this Section 5.01, setting forth the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder, shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest error. The Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.01 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six

-46-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

(6) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(d)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to constitute a change in Law for all purposes of this Section 5.01, regardless of the date enacted, adopted or issued.
6.02
Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event that on or after the date hereof (or, with respect to any Lender, such later date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) the adoption of or any change in any Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any competent Governmental Authority shall make it unlawful for a Lender or its lending office to make or maintain the Loans (and, in the opinion of such Lender, the designation of a different lending office would either not avoid such unlawfulness or would be disadvantageous to such Lender), then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof, following which if such Law shall so mandate, the Loans shall be prepaid by the Borrower on or before such date as shall be mandated by such Law in an amount equal to the Prepayment Price (notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, without any Prepayment Fee or Exit Fee) applicable on such prepayment date in accordance with Section 3.03(a).
6.03
Taxes.
(a)
Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any Obligation shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by any Law. If any Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such Obligor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

-47-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

(b)
Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Laws, or at the option of the Administrative Agent or each Lender, timely reimburse it for the payment of any Other Taxes.
(c)
Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 5.03, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(d)
Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)
Indemnification by the Lender. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), and (ii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this Section 5.03(e).
(f)
Status of Lenders.
(i)
Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments

-48-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Law as reasonably requested by the Borrower as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two (2) sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 5.03(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
(A)
any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of IRS Form W-9 (or successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

-49-

(3)

(4)
to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed copies of IRS Form W-8IMY (or successor form), accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form), IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (or successor form), a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 or

-50-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

D-3, IRS Form W-9 (or successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit D-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner.
(C)
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)
if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that

-51-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(g)
Treatment of Certain Tax Benefits. If any party to this Agreement determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 5.03 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this Section 5.03(g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.03(g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 5.03(g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This Section 5.03(g) shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
6.04
Mitigation Obligations. If the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or to any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, then such Lender shall (at the request of the Borrower) use commercially reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign and delegate its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices,

-52-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

branches or Affiliates if, in the sole reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment and delegation would (i) eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future, (ii) not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and (iii) not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment and delegation.
Section 7.
Inability to Determine Rates.
(a)
Replacement of Relevant Rate or Successor Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Majority Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Majority Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Majority Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(i)
adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining three month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation because the Term SOFR Screen Rate is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be; or
(ii)
CME or any successor administrator of the Term SOFR Screen Rate or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or such administrator with respect to its publication of Term SOFR, in each case acting in such capacity has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which three month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate shall or will no longer be representative or made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of U.S. dollar denominated syndicated loans or shall or will otherwise cease, provided that, at the time of such statement, there is no successor administrator that is satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that will continue to provide such interest periods of Term SOFR after such specific date, (the latest date on which such interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer representative or available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”); or
(iii)
syndicated loans currently being executed and agented in the U.S. are being executed or amended (as applicable) to incorporate or adopt a new benchmark interest rate to replace the Interest Rate;

-53-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

then,

(A)
in the case of events or circumstances of the type described in Section 5.05(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) affecting Term SOFR, on a date and time determined by the Administrative Agent (any such date, the “Term SOFR Replacement Date”), which date shall be at the end of an Interest Period or on the relevant interest payment date, as applicable, for interest calculated and, solely with respect to clause (ii) above, no later than the Scheduled Unavailability Date, Term SOFR will be replaced hereunder and under any Loan Document with Daily Simple SOFR plus the Credit Spread Adjustment, in each case, without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and all interest payments on Loans with a Successor Rate of Daily Simple SOFR plus the Credit Spread Adjustment will be payable on the next Payment Date; or
(B)
(x) if the Administrative Agent determines that Daily Simple SOFR is not available on or prior to the Term SOFR Replacement Date, or (y) if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 5.05(a)(i), (ii) or (iii) affecting any Successor Rate are then in effect, then, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing the Interest Rate or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 5.05 with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in Dollars for such alternative benchmarks, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar credit facilities syndicated and agented in the U.S. and denominated in Dollars for such benchmarks, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt,

-54-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

any adjustment thereto, a “Successor Rate”), and any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Majority Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Majority Lenders object to such amendment.
(b)
The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.
(c)
Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower).
(d)
Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(e)
In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.
7.02
Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 5 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations under any Loan Document.
Section 8.

CONDITIONS

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

The Borrower and each other Obligor hereby jointly and severally represent and warrant to the Administrative Agent and each Lender on the Closing Date and on the First Amendment Effective Date, and any other date such representation and warranty is required to be made under the Loan Documents, as set forth below:

9.01
Power and Authority. Each Obligor and each of its Subsidiaries (i) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, (ii) has all requisite corporate or other power, and has all Governmental Approvals necessary to own its assets and carry on its business as now being or as proposed to be conducted, except to the extent that failure to have the same could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (iii) is qualified to do business and is in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary except where failure so to qualify could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and (iv) has full power, authority and legal right to enter into and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to borrow the Loans hereunder.
9.02

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123

14.02
Remedies.
(a)
Defaults Other Than Bankruptcy Defaults. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, then, and in every such event (other than an Event of Default described in Section 11.01(hg)), and at any time thereafter during the continuance of such event, the Administrative Agent may, by notice to the Borrower, declare the Loans then outstanding to be due and payable in whole (or in part, in which case any principal not so declared to be due and payable may thereafter be declared to be due and payable), and thereupon the principal of the Loans so declared to be due and payable, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations, including any applicable Prepayment Fee and the Exit Fee, shall become due and payable immediately (in the case of the Loans, at the Prepayment Price therefor), without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Obligor.
(b)
Bankruptcy Defaults. In case of an Event of Default described in Section 11.01(hg), the principal of the Loans then outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon and all fees and other Obligations, including any applicable Prepayment Fee and the Exit Fee, shall automatically become due and payable immediately (in the case of the Loans, at the Prepayment Price therefor), without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Obligor.
14.03
Additional Remedies. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any Obligor shall be in default under a Material Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to cause the default or defaults under such Material Agreement to be remedied (including without limitation by paying any unpaid amount thereunder) and otherwise exercise any and all rights of such Obligor, as the case may be, thereunder, as may be necessary to prevent or cure any default. Without limiting the foregoing, upon any such default, each Obligor shall promptly execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Administrative Agent such instruments as may reasonably be required of such Obligor to permit the Administrative Agent to cure any default under the applicable Material Agreement or permit the Administrative Agent to take such other action required to enable the Administrative Agent to cure or remedy the matter in default and preserve the

-105-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

interests of the Administrative Agent. Any amounts paid by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 11.03 shall be payable in accordance with Section 14.03(a), shall accrue interest at the Default Rate if not paid when due, and shall constitute “Obligations.” The Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that in connection with any foreclosure or other exercise of rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect to Intellectual Property, the rights of the non-Affiliate licensees under Permitted Licenses will not be terminated, limited or otherwise adversely affected so long as no default exists under the Permitted License that would permit the licensor to terminate such Permitted License (commonly known as a non-disturbance); provided that the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to exercise any rights of the Obligors under such licenses, including termination rights, upon the exercise of remedies during an Event of Default.
14.04
[Reserved].
14.05
Payment of Prepayment Fee and Exit Fee. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Prepayment Fee and the Exit Fee shall automatically be due and payable at any time the Obligations become due and payable prior to the Maturity Date in accordance with the terms hereof as though such Indebtedness was voluntarily prepaid and shall constitute part of the Obligations, whether due to acceleration pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (in which case it shall be due immediately, upon the giving of notice to Borrower in accordance with Section 11.02(a), or automatically, in accordance with Section 11.02(b)), by operation of law or otherwise (including, without limitation, on account of any bankruptcy filing), in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such acceleration, and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable estimation and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders as a result thereof. Any Prepayment Fee or Exit Fee (or, if required, both the Prepayment Fee and the Exit Fee) payable pursuant to this Agreement shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination, acceleration or prepayment and each Obligor agrees that such Prepayment Fee or Exit Fee is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The Prepayment Fee and Exit Fee shall also become due and payable under this Agreement in the event the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means or the Obligations are reinstated pursuant to Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code. If the Prepayment Fee or Exit Fee becomes due and payable pursuant to this Agreement, the Prepayment Fee or Exit Fee shall be deemed to be principal of the Loans and Obligations under this Agreement and interest shall accrue on the full principal amount of the Loans (including the Prepayment Fee and Exit Fee) from and after the applicable triggering event. In the event the Prepayment Fee or Exit Fee is determined not to be due and payable by order of any court of competent jurisdiction, including, without limitation, by operation of the Bankruptcy Code, despite such a triggering event having occurred, the Prepayment Fee or Exit Fee shall nonetheless constitute Obligations under this Agreement for all purposes hereunder. Each Obligor hereby waives the provisions

-106-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

of any present or future statute or law that prohibits or may prohibit the collection of the prepayment fee or EXIT FEE and any defense to payment, whether such defense may be based in public policy, ambiguity, or otherwise. The Obligors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that any Prepayment Fee or Exit Fee due and payable in accordance with this Agreement shall not constitute unmatured interest, whether under Section 5.02(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Each Obligor further acknowledges and agrees, and waives any argument to the contrary, that payment of such amount does not constitute a penalty or an otherwise unenforceable or invalid obligation. Each Obligor expressly agrees that (i) the Prepayment Fee and Exit Fee are each reasonable and each is the product of an arm’s-length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the Prepayment Fee and Exit Fee shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Obligors giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Fee and Exit Fee, (iv) the Obligors shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this Section 11.05, (v) their agreement to pay the Prepayment Fee and Exit Fee is a material inducement to the Lenders to make the Loans, and (vi) the Prepayment Fee and Exit Fee represent a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits, losses or other damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of such event.
Section 15.

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
15.01
Appointment and Duties. Subject in all cases to clause (c) below:

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

therein or any role as agent, fiduciary or trustee of or for any Lender or any other Secured Party and (iii) shall have no implied functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or other liabilities under any Loan Document (fiduciary or otherwise), in each case, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, and each Lender hereby waives and agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent based on the roles, duties and legal relationships expressly disclaimed in this clause (c). Without in any way limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Obligor or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
15.02
Binding Effect. Each Lender agrees that (i) any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders (or, if expressly required hereby, a greater proportion of the Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, (ii) any action taken by the Administrative Agent in reliance upon the instructions of the Majority Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) and (iii) the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Majority Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion) of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Secured Parties.
15.03
Use of Discretion.
(a)
No Action without Instructions.

(b)
Right Not to Follow Certain Instructions. Notwithstanding Section 12.03(a) or any other term or provision of this Section 12, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take, or to omit to take, any action (i) unless, upon demand, the Administrative Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders (or, to the extent applicable and acceptable to the Administrative Agent, any other Secured Party) against all liabilities that, by reason of such action or omission, may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any Related Party thereof or (ii) that is, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, contrary to any Loan Document, Law or the best interests of the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates or Related Parties, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any action that

-109-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

may be in violation of the automatic stay in connection with any Insolvency Proceeding.
15.04
Delegation of Rights and Duties. The Administrative Agent may, upon any term or condition it specifies, delegate or exercise any of its rights, powers and remedies under, and delegate or perform any of its duties or any other action with respect to, any Loan Document by or through any trustee, co-agent, employee, attorney-in-fact and any other Person (including any Secured Party). The Administrative Agent and any such Person may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. Any such Person and its Related Parties shall benefit from this Section 12 to the extent provided by the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the exculpatory provisions of this Section 12 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and of any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with their activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
15.05
Reliance and Liability.
(a)
the Administrative Agent may, without incurring any liability hereunder, (i) consult with any of its Related Parties and, whether or not selected by it, any other advisors, accountants and other experts (including advisors to, and accountants and experts engaged by, any Obligor) and (ii) rely and act upon any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including and electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution), telephone message or conversation or oral conversation, in each case believed by it to be genuine and transmitted, signed or otherwise authenticated by the appropriate parties. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.
(b)
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with any Loan Document, and each Lender and the Borrower hereby waive and shall not assert (and the Borrower shall cause each other Obligor to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action based thereon, except to the extent of liabilities resulting primarily from the fraudulent conduct or behavior of the Administrative Agent or, as the case may be, such Related Party (each as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment or order by a court of competent jurisdiction) in connection with

-110-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

the duties expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(i)
shall not be responsible or otherwise incur liability for any action or omission taken in reliance upon the instructions of, or with the consent of, the Majority Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith to be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 14.03) or for the actions or omissions of any of its Related Parties selected with reasonable care (other than employees, officers and directors of the Administrative Agent, when acting on behalf of the Administrative Agent);
(ii)
shall not be responsible to any Secured Party for the (a) validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (b) due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, effectiveness, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the attachment, perfection or priority of any Lien created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document;
(iii)
makes no warranty or representation, and shall not be responsible, to any Secured Party for, and shall not have any duty to ascertain or inquire into, any statement, document, information, certificate, report, representation or warranty made or furnished by or on behalf of any Related Party, in or in connection with any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein, whether or not transmitted by the Administrative Agent, including as to completeness, accuracy, scope or adequacy thereof, or for the scope, nature or results of any due diligence performed by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Loan Documents, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement or elsewhere herein (other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent); and
(iv)
shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any provision of any Loan Document or whether any condition set forth in any Loan Document is satisfied or waived, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as to the financial condition of any Obligor or as to the existence or

-111-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

continuation or possible occurrence or continuation of any Default or Event of Default and shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of such occurrence or continuation unless it has received a notice from the Borrower, any Lender describing such Default or Event of Default clearly labeled “notice of default” (in which case the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice of such receipt to all Lenders);

and, for each of the items set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) above, each Lender and the Borrower hereby waives and agrees not to assert (and the Borrower shall cause each other Obligor to waive and agree not to assert) any right, claim or cause of action it might have against the Administrative Agent based thereon.

15.06
Administrative Agent Individually. The Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may make loans and other extensions of credit to, acquire stock and stock equivalents of, accept deposits from, act as the financial advisor for or in any other advisory capacity for, or engage in any kind of business with, any Obligor or Affiliate thereof as though it were not acting as the Administrative Agent and may receive separate fees and other payments therefor. To the extent the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates makes any Loan or otherwise becomes a Lender hereunder, it shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and shall be subject to the same obligations and liabilities as any other Lender and the terms “Lender”, “Majority Lender”, and any similar terms shall, except where otherwise expressly provided in any Loan Document, include, without limitation, the Administrative Agent or such Affiliate, as the case may be, in its individual capacity as Lender or as one of the Majority Lenders, respectively.
15.07
Lender Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their Related Parties or upon any document solely or in part because such document was transmitted by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties, conducted its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of each Obligor and has made and continues to make its own credit decisions in connection with entering into, and taking or not taking any action under, any Loan Document or with respect to any transaction contemplated in any Loan Document, in each case based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate.
15.08
Expenses; Indemnities.
(a)
Each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of its Related Parties (to the extent not reimbursed by any Obligor) promptly upon demand for such Lender’s Proportionate Share of any costs and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of financial, legal (including

-112-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

charges and disbursements of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and Leason Ellis LLP) and other advisors and Other Taxes paid in the name of, or on behalf of, any Obligor) that may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties in connection with the preparation, syndication, execution, delivery, administration, modification, consent, waiver or enforcement (whether through negotiations, through any work-out, bankruptcy, restructuring or other legal or other proceeding or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of its rights or responsibilities under, any Loan Document.
(b)
Each Lender further agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) and any Related Parties of the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) (to the extent not indefeasibly paid by any Obligor), from and against such Lender’s aggregate Proportionate Share of the liabilities (including taxes, interests and penalties imposed for not properly withholding or backup withholding on payments made to on or for the account of any Lender) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Parties of the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in any matter relating to or arising out of, in connection with or as a result of any Loan Document or any other act, event or transaction related, contemplated in or attendant to any such document, or, in each case, any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Parties of the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) under or with respect to any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Parties of the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) to the extent such liability has resulted primarily from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or, as the case may be, such Related Party of the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment or order.
15.09
Resignation of the Administrative Agent.
(a)
At any time upon not less than 30 days prior written notice, the Administrative Agent may resign as the “the Administrative Agent” hereunder, in whole or in part (in the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrative Agent). If the Administrative Agent delivers any such notice, the Majority Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be (i) a Lender holding at least thirty percent (30%) of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans or any Affiliate thereof or (ii) any other financial institution consented to by the Borrower (provided that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required to the extent an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). If a successor Administrative Agent has not been appointed on or before the effectiveness of the resignation of the resigning Administrative Agent (or

-113-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

such earlier date as shall be agreed by the Majority Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the resigning Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint any Person reasonably chosen by it as the successor Administrative Agent, notwithstanding whether the Majority Lenders have appointed a successor or the Borrower has consented to such successor. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)
Effective from the Resignation Effective Date, (i) the resigning Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents to the extent set forth in the applicable resignation notice, (ii) the Lenders shall assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent until a successor Administrative Agent shall have accepted a valid appointment hereunder, (iii) the resigning Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall no longer have the benefit of any provision of any Loan Document other than with respect to (x) any actions taken or omitted to be taken while such resigning Administrative Agent was, or because the Administrative Agent had been, validly acting as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents or (y) any continuing duties such resigning Administrative Agent will continue to perform, and (iv) subject to its rights under Section 12.04, the resigning Administrative Agent shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the successor Administrative Agent its rights as the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Effective immediately upon its acceptance of a valid appointment as the Administrative Agent, a successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to, and become vested with, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the resigning Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.
15.10
Release of Collateral or Guarantors. Each Lender hereby consents to the release and hereby directs the Administrative Agent to release, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees, (or, in the case of Section 12.10(b), release or subordinate) the following:
(a)
any Subsidiary of the Borrower from its guaranty of any Obligation of any Obligor (i) if all of the Equity Interests in such Subsidiary owned by any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries are disposed of in an Asset Sale permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such Asset Sale, such Subsidiary would not be required to guaranty any Obligations pursuant to Section 8.11(a) and (ii) upon (x) termination of the Commitments and (y) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans and all other Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable (other than inchoate indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made); and

-114-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

(b)
any Lien held by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against (i) any Collateral that is disposed of by an Obligor in an Asset Sale permitted by the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a valid waiver or consent), (ii) any property subject to a Lien described in Section 9.02(c) and (iii) all of the Collateral and all Obligors, upon (x) termination of the Commitments and (y) payment and satisfaction in full of all Loans and all other Obligations that the Administrative Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable (other than inchoate indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made).

Each Lender hereby directs the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent hereby agrees, upon receipt of reasonable advance notice from the Borrower, to execute and deliver or file such documents and to perform other actions reasonably necessary to release the guarantees and Liens when and as directed in this Section 12.10 and deliver to the Borrower, at the expense of the Borrower, any portion of such Collateral so released pursuant to this Section 12.10 that is in possession of the Administrative Agent. In addition, in connection with any Permitted Licenses, each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to, and at the request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall, negotiate and enter into a non-disturbance agreement and other similar agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.

15.11
Additional Secured Parties. The benefit of the provisions of the Loan Documents directly relating to the Collateral or any Lien granted thereunder shall extend to and be available to any Secured Party that is not a Lender as long as, by accepting such benefits, such Secured Party agrees, as among the Administrative Agent and all other Secured Parties, that such Secured Party is bound by (and, if requested by the Administrative Agent, shall confirm such agreement in a writing in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent) this Section 12 and the decisions and actions of the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders (or, where expressly required by the terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders) to the same extent a Lender is bound; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) such Secured Party shall be bound by Section 12.08 only to the extent of liabilities, costs and expenses with respect to or otherwise relating to the Collateral held for the benefit of such Secured Party, in which case the obligations of such Secured Party thereunder shall not be limited by any concept of pro rata share or similar concept, (ii) each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to act at its sole discretion, without regard to the interest of such Secured Party, regardless of whether any Obligation to such Secured Party

-115-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

thereafter remains outstanding, is deprived of the benefit of the Collateral, becomes unsecured or is otherwise affected or put in jeopardy thereby, and without any duty or liability to such Secured Party or any such Obligation and (iii) such Secured Party shall not have any right to be notified of, consent to, direct, require or be heard with respect to, any action taken or omitted in respect of the Collateral or under any Loan Document.

 

15.12
Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any Insolvency Proceeding or any other judicial proceeding relating to any Obligor, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower or any other Obligor) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention or such proceeding or otherwise:

 

(a)
to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 14.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b)
to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the Administrative Agent under Section 14.03.

 

15.13
Acknowledgements of Lenders.

(a)
If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, a “Payment Recipient”), that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously

-116-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent and shall be segregated by the Payment Recipient and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter, return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)
Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), each Lender, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender or other such recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case: (i) (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and (ii) such Lender shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of such error) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.13(b)(ii).

-117-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

(c)
Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any source, against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under immediately preceding clause (a) or under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement.
(d)
In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, (i) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Loans, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to acquire the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent may reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment. The Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance

-118-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

with the terms of this Agreement. In addition, each party hereto agrees that, except to the extent that the Administrative Agent has sold a Loan (or portion thereof) acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of the applicable Lender under the Loan Documents with respect to each Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency.
(e)
The parties hereto agree that an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Obligor, except, in each case, to the extent such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Obligor for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f)
To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation waiver of any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g)
Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 12.13 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
Section 16.

GUARANTY
16.01
The Guaranty. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby unconditionally jointly and severally guarantee to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and their successors and assigns, the full and punctual payment in full or performance (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations, including (i) principal of and interest on the Loans, (ii) all fees and other amounts and Obligations from time to time owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower and each other Obligor under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, in each case strictly in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and (iii) the punctual and faithful performance, keeping, observance and fulfillment by the Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors of all the agreements, conditions, covenants and obligations of the Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors contained in the Loan Documents (such obligations being herein collectively called

16.02
Obligations Unconditional. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 13.01 shall constitute a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and are absolute and unconditional, joint and several, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or any substitution, release or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by all applicable Laws, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 13.02 that the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional, joint and several, under any and all circumstances. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:
(a)
at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Subsidiary Guarantors, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

any lien or security interest granted to, or in favor of, the Secured Parties as security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall fail to be perfected or preserved;

(g)
the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which any Subsidiary Guarantor may have at any time against the Borrower, any other Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions; provided that, notwithstanding any other provisions in this Guaranty, nothing in this Guaranty shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;
(h)
the unenforceability or invalidity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or the lack of genuineness, enforceability or validity of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the collateral, if any, securing the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason, related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or any provision of applicable Law, decree, order or regulation of any jurisdiction purporting to prohibit the payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations by the Borrower, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations;

obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any nonperfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(l)
any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, such Guarantor, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any Secured Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 13.02 constitute a legal or equitable discharge of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.

The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby expressly waive diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against the Borrower or any other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument referred to herein, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

Discharge Only Upon Payment in Full. Subject to any prior release herefrom of any Subsidiary Guarantor by the Administrative Agent in accordance with (and pursuant to authority granted to the Administrative Agent under) the terms of this Agreement, each Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than inchoate indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made) and all other financing arrangements among the Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor and the Secured Parties under or in connection with this Agreement and each other Loan Document shall have terminated (herein, the “Termination Conditions”), and until the prior and complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions all of the rights and remedies under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents shall survive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent hereby agrees to release any Subsidiary of the Borrower from its guaranty of any Obligation of any Obligor if all of the Equity Interests in such Subsidiary owned by any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries are disposed of in an Asset Sale permitted under the Loan Documents (including pursuant to a waiver or consent), to the extent that, after giving effect to such Asset Sale, such Subsidiary would not be required to guarantee any Obligations pursuant to Section 8.11(a).
16.04

its right, if any, to require the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties now have or may hereafter have against, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any third party, or against any collateral provided by such other guarantors or any third party; and each Subsidiary Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid) of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations in respect thereof;
(iv)
(A) any rights to assert against the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Subsidiary Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations or any third party liable to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties; (B) any defense, set-off, counterclaim or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of perfection, sufficiency, validity or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any security therefor; (C) any defense such Subsidiary Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right such Subsidiary Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by reason of: (1) the impairment or suspension of the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ rights or remedies against any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; (2) the alteration by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties of the Guaranteed Obligations; (3) any discharge of the obligations of any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties by operation of law as a result of the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ intervention or omission; or (4) the acceptance by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties of anything in partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (D) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder; and
(v)
any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (A) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties; or (B) any election by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties under any provision of

-123-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law to limit the amount of, or any collateral securing, its claim against the Subsidiary Guarantors.
(b)
General Waivers. Each Subsidiary Guarantor irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice not provided for herein.
16.05
Reinstatement. The obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 13 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations is at any time rescinded, annulled, avoided, set aside, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or must be otherwise restored or repaid by any holder of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization, equitable cause or otherwise, and the Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that they will indemnify the Secured Parties on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including fees of counsel) incurred by such Persons in connection with such rescission, repayment or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law. The provisions of this Section 13.05 shall survive termination of this Guaranty.
16.06
Subrogation. The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agree that, until the prior and complete satisfaction of all Termination Conditions, they (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which the Secured Parties or the Administrative Agent now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any endorser or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person, and each Subsidiary Guarantor waives any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security or collateral that may from time to time be given to the Secured Parties and the Administrative Agent to secure the payment or performance of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other liability of the Borrower to the Secured Parties. Should any Subsidiary Guarantor have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights prior to complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (A) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set-off that such Subsidiary Guarantor may have prior to the complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions, and (B) waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until all Termination Conditions are satisfied in full. Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Subsidiary Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty, and that the Administrative Agent, the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 13.06.

-124-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

16.07
Remedies. The Subsidiary Guarantors jointly and severally agree that, as between the Subsidiary Guarantors, on one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and under the other Loan Documents may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 11 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in Section 11) for purposes of Section 13.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition, including any such stay upon an Insolvency Proceeding, preventing such declaration (or such obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against the Borrower and that, in the event of such declaration (or such obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such obligations (whether or not due and payable by the Borrower) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for purposes of Section 13.01.
16.08
Instrument for the Payment of Money. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 13 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, at their sole option, in the event of a dispute by such Subsidiary Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to proceed by motion for summary judgment in lieu of complaint pursuant to N.Y. Civ. Prac. L&R § 3213.
16.09
Continuing Guarantee. The guarantee in this Section 13 is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Guaranteed Obligations whenever arising.
16.10
Contribution with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations.
(a)
To the extent that any Subsidiary Guarantor shall make a payment under this Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Subsidiary Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Subsidiary Guarantor if each Subsidiary Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Subsidiary Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Subsidiary Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following the prior and complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions, such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Subsidiary Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.

 

(b)
As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount of the claim which could then be recovered from such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement without rendering such

-125-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

claim voidable or avoidable under any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or other applicable Law.
(c)
This Section 13.10 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Subsidiary Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 13.10 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

(d)
The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor or Subsidiary Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

 

(e)
The rights of the indemnifying Subsidiary Guarantors against other Subsidiary Guarantors under this Section 13.10 shall be exercisable only upon the prior and complete satisfaction of the Termination Conditions.

 

16.11
General Limitation on Guarantee Obligations. In any action or proceeding involving any provincial, territorial or state corporate law, or any state or federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally, if the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under Section 13.01 would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under Section 13.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action by such Subsidiary Guarantor, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.
Section 17.

MISCELLANEOUS
17.01
No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
17.02
Notices. All notices, requests, instructions, directions and other communications provided for herein (including any modifications of, or waivers, requests or consents under, this Agreement) or in the other Loan Documents shall be given or made in writing (including by telecopy or email) delivered, if to the Borrower, another Obligor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, to its address specified on the signature pages hereto or its Guarantee Assumption Agreement, as the case may be, or at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written

17.03
Expenses, Indemnification, Etc.
(a)
Expenses. Each Obligor, jointly and severally, agrees to pay or reimburse (i) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective Affiliates for all of their reasonable and documented out of pocket costs and expenses (including the reasonable and documented out of pocket fees, expenses, charges and disbursements of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and Leason Ellis LLP, counsel to the Lenders, the fees (if necessary) of local and regulatory counsel for both of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in each relevant material jurisdiction, and any sales, goods and services or other similar Taxes applicable thereto, and reasonable and documented printing, reproduction, document delivery, communication and travel costs) in connection with (x) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of the Loans (exclusive of post-closing costs), (y) post-closing costs (including, without limitation, costs of the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents) and (z) the negotiation or preparation of any modification, supplement or waiver of any of the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (whether or not consummated); provided that in the case of such expenses on the Closing Date, the amount of such expenses obligated to be paid by the Obligors (including expenses paid under the Royalty Interest Financing Agreement) shall not exceed the amount as set forth in the Letter of Intent between the Company and Oaktree Capital Management, L.P., dated January 12, 2021; and (ii) each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all of their documented out of pocket costs and expenses (including the fees and expenses of any legal counsel) in connection with the enforcement, exercise or protection of their rights in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including their rights under this Section 14.03, or in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.
(b)
Indemnification. Each Obligor, jointly and severally, hereby indemnifies the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), the Lenders and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, advisors and controlling parties (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and agrees to hold them harmless against, any and all Claims and Losses of any kind including reasonable and documented out of pocket fees and disbursements of any counsel for each Indemnified Party (limited to

-127-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

one legal counsel in each relevant jurisdiction), that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or relating to (i) Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the Transactions, (ii) any use made or proposed to be made with the proceeds of the Loans, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by any Obligor or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory, whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Obligor, any of its Subsidiaries, shareholders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other Person, or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto, and whether or not any of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 6 are satisfied or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, except to the extent such Claim or Loss is (i) found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from a claim brought by any Obligor against an Indemnified Party for material breach in bad faith or reckless disregard of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document. No Obligor shall assert any claim against any Indemnified Party, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of the Transactions or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. The Borrower, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, advisors and controlling parties are each sometimes referred to in this Agreement as a “Borrower Party”. None of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall assert any claim against any Borrower Party, on any theory of liability, for consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of the Transactions or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 14.03(b), the Obligors shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without the Obligors’ consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), but if settled with the Obligors’ written consent, or if there is a judgment against an Indemnified Party in any such proceeding, the Obligors shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party to the extent and in the manner set forth above. The Obligors shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless (a) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such

-128-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

Indemnified Party from all liability or claims that are the subject matter of, or arise out of, such proceeding and (b) such settlement does not include any statement as to, or any admission of fault, culpability, wrongdoing or a failure to act by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party. This Section shall not apply with respect to (x) Taxes other than Taxes relating to a non-Tax Claim or Loss governed by this Section 14.03(b) and (y) yield protection matters covered by Section 5.01, which shall be governed exclusively by Section 5.01.
17.04
Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any provision of this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be modified or supplemented only by an instrument in writing signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Majority Lenders; provided that:
(a)
any such modification or supplement that is disproportionately adverse to any Lender as compared to other Lenders or subjects any Lender to any additional obligation shall not be effective without the consent of such affected Lender;
(b)
the consent of all of the Lenders shall be required to:
(i)
amend, modify, discharge, terminate or waive any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Agreement if such amendment, modification, discharge, termination or waiver would increase the amount of the Loans or Commitment, reduce the fees payable hereunder, reduce interest rates (provided that the Majority Lenders may rescind an imposition of default interest hereunder) or other amounts payable with respect to the Loans (excluding mandatory prepayments), extend any date fixed for payment of principal (excluding mandatory prepayments) (it being understood that the waiver of any prepayment of Loans shall not constitute an extension of any date fixed for payment of principal), interest or other amounts payable relating to the Loans or extend the repayment dates of the Loans (excluding mandatory prepayments);
(ii)
amend, modify, discharge, terminate or waive any Security Document if the effect is to release all or substantially all of the Collateral subject thereto other than pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof; or
(iii)
amend this Section 14.04 or the definition of “Majority Lenders”.
17.05
Successors and Assigns.

-129-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

(a)
General. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto or thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby or thereby, except that no Obligor may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder (except in connection with an event permitted under Section 9.03) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Any Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.05(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 14.05(e), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 14.05(f). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in Section 14.05(e) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)
Assignments by Lender. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Transferees (or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to any Person) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Loans at the time owing to it) and the other Loan Documents; provided that (i) no such assignment shall be made to any Obligor, any Affiliate of any Obligor, any employees or directors of any Obligor at any time and (ii) no such assignment shall be made without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. The consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to an Eligible Transferee); provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received written notice thereof; provided further that the consent of the Borrower shall not be required for any assignment to (x) Oaktree Capital Management, L.P. or any of its managed funds or accounts or (y) any Affiliate of the foregoing. Subject to the recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 14.05(d), and to receipt by the Administrative Agent of a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500 (provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment) from and after the date such Assignment and Assumption is recorded in the Register, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of the Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and correspondingly the assigning Lender shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such

-130-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) and the other Loan Documents but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5 and Section 14.03. Any assignment or transfer by the Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 14.05(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 14.05(e).
(c)
Amendments to Loan Documents. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Obligors agrees to enter into such amendments to the Loan Documents, and such additional Security Documents and other instruments and agreements, in each case in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Obligors, as shall reasonably be necessary to implement and give effect to any assignment made under this Section 14.05.
(d)
Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices in the United States a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior written notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, any assignment of any Loan shall be effective only upon appropriate entries with respect thereto being made in the Register.
(e)
Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower, sell participations to any Eligible Transferee (other than a natural person or any Obligor or any of its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of the Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of the Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection therewith. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which any Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce the Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification

-131-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

or waiver of any provision of the Loan Documents; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that would (i) increase or extend the term of such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal (excluding mandatory prepayments) of or interest on the Loans or any portion of any fee hereunder payable to the Participant, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, or (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive such interest (other than a waiver of default interest) . Subject to Section 14.05(f), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01 or 5.03 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 5.03(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 5.03(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 14.05(b); provided that such Participant (i) shall not be entitled to such benefits unless such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with the documentation requirements of Section 5.03(e)(ii) as if it were a Lender and complies with such requirements, (ii) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.04 as if it were an assignee under Section 14.05(b) and (iii) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or 5.03, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 4.03(a) as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

-132-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

(f)
Limitations on Rights of Participants. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 5.01 or 5.03 than such Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.
(g)
Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
17.06
Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.03, 14.03, 14.05, 14.06, 14.09, 14.10, 14.11, 14.12, 14.13 and 14.14 and the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 13 (solely to the extent guaranteeing any of the obligations under the foregoing Sections) shall survive the repayment of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments and, in the case of the Lenders’ assignment of any interest in the Commitments or the Loans hereunder, shall survive, in the case of any event or circumstance that occurred prior to the effective date of such assignment, the making of such assignment, notwithstanding that the Lenders may cease to be “Lenders” hereunder. In addition, each representation and warranty made, or deemed to be made by a Borrowing Notice, herein or pursuant hereto shall survive the making of such representation and warranty.
17.07

Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission or electronic transmission (in PDF format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

17.17
Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts that are treated as interest on such Loan under applicable Law (collectively, “charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) that may be contracted for, charged, taken, received or reserved by the Administrative Agent and the Lender holding such Loan in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such Loan hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate. To the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been paid in respect of such Loan but were not paid as a result of the operation of this Section shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to such Lender in respect of other Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above the amount collectible at the Maximum Rate therefor) until such cumulated amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate for each day to the date of repayment, shall have been received by such Lender. Any amount collected by such Lender that exceeds the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of such Loan so that at no time shall the interest and charges paid or payable in respect of such Loan exceed the maximum amount collectible at the Maximum Rate.
17.18
Judgment Currency.
(a)
If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in Dollars into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the Administrative Agent could purchase Dollars with such other currency at the buying spot rate of exchange in the New York foreign exchange market on the Business Day immediately preceding that on which any such judgment, or any relevant part thereof, is given.

-136-

4882-5123-79004861-6868-3896 v.123


 

(b)
The obligations of the Obligors in respect of any sum due to the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall, notwithstanding any judgment in a currency other than Dollars, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency the Administrative Agent may, in accordance with normal banking procedures, purchase Dollars with such other currency. If the amount of Dollars so purchased is less than the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, the Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify the Administrative Agent against such loss. If the amount of Dollars so purchased exceeds the sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in Dollars, the Administrative Agent shall remit such excess to the Borrower.
17.19
USA PATRIOT Act. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby notify the Obligors that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Obligors, which information includes the name and address of each Obligor and other information that will allow such Person to identify such Obligor in accordance with the Patriot Act.
17.20

FORM OF LANDLORD CONSENT

 

This CONSENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of [•], 20[•], by and between [INSERT NAME OF LANDLORD] (“Landlord”), [INSERT NAME OF TENANT] (the “Tenant”) and Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”), with reference to the following facts:

 

WHEREAS, Landlord and the Tenant have entered into that certain lease, dated as of [•], 20[•] (the “Lease”) for certain premises (the “Premises”) more fully described in Annex A;

 

WHEREAS, the Tenant has entered into (i) that certain Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated as of March 17, 2022, among Impel NeuroPharma,Pharmaceuticals Inc., as borrower, the Subsidiary Guarantors from time to time party thereto [including the Tenant], the Lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) and (ii) that certain Security Agreement, dated as of March 17, 2022, among Impel NeuroPharma,Pharmaceuticals Inc., the other Grantors from time to time party thereto [including the Tenant], and the Administrative Agent (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Security Agreement”); and

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Security Agreement, the Administrative Agent has obtained a continuing security interest in, among other things, substantially all assets of the Tenant, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (the “Collateral”), including any equipment, tools, machinery, inventory, stock, goods, furniture, accounts receivable, trade fixtures and other property (together with all additions, substitutions, replacements, improvements and proceeds thereof, “Tenant’s Property”) that are now or in the future may become located or stored at the Premises, until all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made) have been paid in full in cash and the Commitment under the Credit Agreement has been terminated (the capitalized terms used above but not defined shall have the definition provided in the Credit Agreement).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.
(a) Landlord is the landlord under the Lease, (b) the Lease is in full force and effect, (c) Landlord has no actual knowledge of any defense, offset, claim or counterclaim by or in favor of Landlord against Tenant under the Lease or against the obligations of Landlord under the Lease and (d) Landlord has no knowledge of the occurrence of any default under or in connection with the Lease.

 

2.
Tenant’s granting of a security interest in or lien upon the Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a default under the Lease or permit Landlord to terminate the Lease or otherwise be the basis for the exercise of any remedy by Landlord. Tenant’s obligations under the Loan Documents, and any of the terms and conditions thereof, may be amended, modified or extended without consent of or notice to Landlord.

 

EXHIBIT G-1

4883-8184-14234861-6868-3896 v.21.5


 

3.
Landlord shall send to the Administrative Agent a concurrent copy of any notice of default or acceleration of rent payments under the Lease sent to Tenant. Failure by Landlord to send any such notice shall not affect the rights or obligations of Landlord or Tenant under the Lease and Landlord shall not incur any liability for failure to do so. Landlord shall allow the Administrative Agent the same rights to cure a default under the Lease as Tenant has under the Lease during the same cure period afforded to Tenant (provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to cure). Landlord shall also send to the Administrative Agent notice of any termination of the Lease within five business days thereof. No action by Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be an assumption by Administrative Agent of any obligation under the Lease, and, except as explicitly provided in Sections 7 and 10 below, the Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation to Landlord.

4.
Landlord waives and releases in favor of the Administrative Agent: (a) each and every right which Landlord now has under applicable law or by virtue of the Lease, to levy or distrain upon for rent, in arrears, in advance or both, or to claim or assert title to the Tenant’s Property that is located on the Premises and (b) any and all other interests or claims of every nature whatsoever which Landlord may now or hereafter have in or against Tenant’s Property for any rent, storage charges, or other sums due, or to become due, to Landlord by Tenant.

 

5.
Tenant’s Property is and will remain personal property and shall not be considered fixtures or otherwise part of the Premises regardless of whether or by what means it is or may become attached or affixed to the Premises. Landlord shall provide prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent at the address set forth in its signature block of any early termination or expiration of the lease or any abandonment of the Premises by the Tenant.

 

6.
Landlord hereby agrees to not exercise any of Landlord’s rights, remedies, powers, privileges, or discretions with respect to Tenant’s Property, or Landlord’s liens or security interests in Tenant’s Property, unless and until Landlord receives written notice from an officer of the Administrative Agent that Tenant’s obligations under the Loan Documents have been paid in full. The foregoing waiver is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent only and does not affect the obligations of Tenant to Landlord under the Lease.

 

7.
During the term of the Lease, Landlord grants to the Administrative Agent a license to enter upon and into the Premises upon reasonable prior written notice to Landlord at reasonable times during regular business hours to take possession of, sell or otherwise enforce its security interest in Tenant’s Property. Landlord shall cooperate with the Administrative Agent’s enforcement of its security interest and rights in Tenant’s Property, at no cost to Landlord. The Administrative Agent will comply with any security or escort requirements or other reasonable requirements imposed by Landlord. The Administrative Agent shall promptly repair, at the Administrative Agent’s expense, or reimburse Landlord for any physical damage to the Premises caused by the conduct of such sale and any removal of Tenant’s Property by or through the Administrative Agent (normal wear and tear excluded); provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any diminution in value of the Premises caused by the absence of any of Tenant’s Property or any other property left on the Premises by Landlord or Tenant.

8.
So long as the Tenant remains in possession of the Premises, Landlord will not dispose of any of the Tenant’s Property nor assert any right or interest therein. If any of Tenant’s Property remains on the Premises after the Tenant has vacated the Premises and an Event of Default

EXHIBIT G-2

4883-8184-14234861-6868-3896 v.21.5


 

has occurred and is continuing, Landlord (i) will promptly inform the Administrative Agent of the vacancy and not dispose of any of the Tenant’s Property nor assert any right or interest therein, unless the Administrative Agent has had a reasonable period of time (in any case, not less than ninety (90) days after the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge that the Tenant has vacated the Premises) to exercise the Administrative Agent’s rights in and to the Tenant’s Property, and (ii) will permit the Administrative Agent, or its agents or representatives, upon two (2) business days’ prior written notice by the Administrative Agent to Landlord at the address set forth in its signature block, to enter upon the Premises during such ninety (90) day period for the purpose of exercising any right the Administrative Agent may have under the terms of the Credit Agreement or Security Agreement, at law, or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to remove the Collateral and the right to conduct a public auction or private sale of Tenant’s Property at the Premises, provided that the Administrative Agent shall use reasonable best efforts to notify Landlord first and hold such auction or sale in a manner that would not unduly disrupt Landlord’s or any other tenant’s use of the Premises.

 

9.
If any order or injunction is issued or stay granted which prohibits the Administrative Agent from exercising any of its rights hereunder, then, at the Administrative Agent’s option, the period set forth in this Paragraph 9 shall be stayed during the period of such prohibition and shall continue thereafter for the greater of (i) the number of days remaining for the Administrative Agent to perform under this Paragraph 3 or (ii) thirty (30) days.

 

10.
The Administrative Agent and the Tenant agree, jointly and severally, promptly to repair any damage to the Premises caused by the Administrative Agent’s or its agent’s removal of the Tenant’s Property following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default or, if Landlord, in its sole discretion, shall elect to make such repairs, to pay to Landlord promptly the reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith. The Administrative Agent hereby indemnifies Landlord for any claim, liability or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or in connection with the Administrative Agent’s or its agent’s entry upon the Premises and removal of the Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not (i) be liable for any diminution in value of the Premises caused by the absence of any Collateral so removed or (ii) have any duty or obligation to remove or dispose of any Collateral or any other property left on the Premises by the Tenant.

 

11.
All notices hereunder to Landlord or to the Administrative Agent shall be in writing and sent to Landlord or to the Administrative Agent at its address set forth on the signature page hereof by facsimile, email, United States mail or overnight delivery service.

 

12.
The agreements contained herein shall supplement the terms of the Lease and shall continue in effect until Landlord shall have received the Administrative Agent’s written certification that all amounts advanced under the Credit Agreement have been paid in full.

 

13.
This Agreement and any right, remedy, obligation, claim, controversy, dispute or cause of action based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles that would lead to the application of laws other than the laws of the State of New York.

 

14.
Landlord irrevocably and unconditionally (a) agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or in equity, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, against the Administrative Agent arising out of or relating to this

EXHIBIT G-3

4883-8184-14234861-6868-3896 v.21.5


 

Agreement in any forum other than the courts of the State of New York sitting in New York County, and of the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, (b) submits to the jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in such federal court, (c) agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation or proceeding will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law, (d) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any court referred to in this Section, (e) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court, and (f) consents to the service of any process, summons, notice or document in any such action, litigation or proceeding by registered mail addressed to Landlord at its address set forth on the signature page hereof. Nothing herein will affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the Administrative Agent’s right to bring any action, litigation or proceeding against Landlord or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions. To the extent that Landlord has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, Landlord irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Landlord.

 

15.
Sub-Agent. All rights of the Administrative Agent hereunder may be exercised by any other person acting on the Administrative Agent’s behalf as its sub-agent and designated by the Administrative Agent in writing as such.

16.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. LANDLORD IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR AGENT’S ACTIONS IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

 

17.

FORM OF INTERCOMPANY SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

 

This Intercompany Subordination Agreement, dated as of [•], 2022 (as subsequently amended or otherwise modified, this “Subordination Agreement”), is entered into by and among Impel NeuroPharma,Pharmaceuticals Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower that are parties hereto, and certain other Subsidiaries of the Borrower that may, from time to time in the future, become parties hereto by executing and delivering a joinder agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (any such Subsidiary being herein, individually, a “Subsidiary Party” and collectively the “Subsidiary Parties”) and Oaktree Fund Administration, LLC in its capacity as Administrative Agent for the Lenders under the Credit Agreement (as defined below) (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns, the “Administrative Agent”).

 

Reference is made to that certain Credit Agreement and Guaranty, dated as of March 17, 2022 (as subsequently amended or otherwise modified, the “Credit Agreement”) among the Borrower, certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower that may be required to provide Guarantees from time to time thereunder, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent. Unless otherwise defined, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

This Subordination Agreement is being executed and delivered by the parties hereto pursuant to Sections 8.11(a) and 9.01 of the Credit Agreement.

 

One or more of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Parties (individually, an “Impel Party” and collectively, the “Impel Parties”), in their capacities as lenders (each such entity, together with its successors, assigns and transferees in such capacity, individually, a “Junior Creditor”, and, collectively, “Junior Creditors”) has made, or may from time to time make, loans or extend other financings to one or more of the Impel Parties that is an Obligor (each such Obligor in its capacity as a borrower from any Junior Creditor (together with its successors, assigns and transferees) being herein, individually, a “Debtor Obligor”, and, collectively, “Debtor Obligors”) to the extent permitted pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement. All such Indebtedness resulting from the making of any such loan or financing, together with all principal, interest, premiums, fees, costs, expenses, liabilities, indemnification amounts, obligations and other amounts of any type or nature owing or arising in respect thereof, is herein collectively referred to as the “Junior Obligations”.

 

Each of the Junior Creditors and each of the Debtor Obligors, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and each of their permitted successors, transferees and assigns, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agree as follows:

 

1.
All payment obligations and other monetary obligations of any Debtor Obligor arising from time to time under or in connection with any Junior Obligations to any Junior Creditor are, and shall be, subordinated in right of payment and performance to the extent and in the manner set forth herein, to the prior Payment in Full of all Obligations (other than inchoate indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made) owing under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents, whether in respect of principal, interest, fees or other monetary obligations or liabilities of any type or nature, including costs and expenses of enforcement, if any, and, where

EXHIBIT I-3

4883-8184-14234861-6868-3896 v.21.5


 

applicable, such Debtor Obligor’s Guaranty thereof (collectively the “Senior Obligations”), notwithstanding the maturity date or amortization date of any Junior Obligations or any acceleration of the maturity date related thereto, any default by or insolvency of any Debtor Obligor or any other Person, or otherwise.

 

2.
This Subordination Agreement is for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

 

3.
In the event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation, arrangement, reorganization, adjustment, protection, relief or composition of any Debtor Obligor or its debts, whether voluntary or involuntary, in any bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, receivership, relief or other similar case or proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of any Debtor Obligor or otherwise, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive Payment in Full of the Senior Obligations before any Junior Creditor is entitled to receive any payment of all or any of the Junior Obligations, and any payment or distribution of any kind (whether in cash, property or securities, but other than (i) equity securities or (ii) debt securities of such Obligor that are subordinated, to at least the same extent as the Junior Obligations hereunder, to the payment of all Senior Obligations then outstanding) that otherwise would be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Junior Obligations in any such case, proceeding, assignment, marshalling or otherwise (including any payment that may be payable by reason of any other indebtedness of such Obligor being subordinated to payment of the Subordinated Debt) shall be paid or delivered in accordance with the Credit Agreement for the account of the applicable Lenders for application (in the case of cash) to, or as collateral (in the case of non-cash property or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Senior Obligations until the Senior Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash.

 

4.
If any proceeding referred to in Section 3 above is commenced by or against any Debtor Obligor,

 

a.
the Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized and empowered (in its own name or in the name of each Junior Creditor or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and receive every payment or distribution referred to in Section 3 above and give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such other action (including, without limitation, voting the Junior Obligations or enforcing any security interest or other lien securing payment of the Junior Obligations) as it may deem necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or interests of the Administrative Agent or Lenders hereunder; and

 

b.
each Junior Creditor shall duly and promptly take such action as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request (A) to collect the Junior Obligations for the account of the Lenders and to file appropriate claims or proofs or claim in respect of the Junior Obligations, (B) to execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent such powers of attorney, assignments, or other instruments as either may request in order to enable the Administrative Agent

EXHIBIT I-4

4883-8184-14234861-6868-3896 v.21.5


 

to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any security interests and other liens securing payment of, the Junior Obligations, and (C) to collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Junior Obligations.

 

5.
At all times during a Subordination Triggering Event (as defined below) and until Payment in Full of all Senior Obligations and the termination of all Senior Liens (as defined below), (i) no Debtor Obligor shall make, and no Junior Creditor shall accept, receive or collect from or on behalf of any Debtor Obligor, any direct or indirect payment or distribution of any kind or character whatsoever (whether in cash, securities, other property, by set-off, forgiveness of any Indebtedness of any Secured Party, from or by way of collateral, or otherwise) on account of any of the Junior Obligations, and (ii) under no circumstance shall any payment of any of the Junior Obligations be accelerated, or any other remedy, enforcement action or other action be taken by any Junior Creditor against any Debtor Obligor or any property of any Debtor Obligor or of any other Person, in each case with respect to any of the Junior Obligations (including to assert, enforce or collect any of the Junior Obligations), in each case, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

 

6.
No Junior Creditor shall, directly or indirectly, independently or with any other Person, take any action that would be in violation of, or inconsistent with, or result in a breach of this Subordination Agreement or challenge or contest (i) the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of this Subordination Agreement, any Senior Obligations or any Liens securing the Senior Obligations (“Senior Liens”), (ii) any of the rights of any Secured Party set forth in the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document (including with respect to the Senior Liens), or (iii) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any portion thereof.

 

7.
In the event that, during a proceeding referred to in Section 3 above or Subordination Triggering Event and prior to Payment in Full of the Senior Obligations, any Junior Creditor shall receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character whatsoever (whether in cash, securities, other property, by set-off, forgiveness of any Indebtedness of any Secured Party, or otherwise) on or in respect of all or any portion of the Junior Obligations in violation of any of the provisions of this Subordination Agreement, then such payment or distribution shall be held in trust by such Junior Creditor for the benefit of, and promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) paid over by such Junior Creditor to the Administrative Agent for application of such payment or distribution to repay the Senior Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, until Payment in Full of the Senior Obligations as confirmed in writing by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower.

 

8.
For purposes of this Subordination Agreement, (a) “Payment in Full” means, (i) with respect to the Senior Obligations, that all such obligations (other than inchoate indemnification and expense reimbursement obligations for which no claim has been made) and other amounts payable constituting Senior Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and (ii) the receipt by the Administrative Agent of cash collateral in order to secure any other contingent Senior Obligations for which a claim or demand for

EXHIBIT I-5

4883-8184-14234861-6868-3896 v.21.5


 

payment has been made at such time or in respect of matters or circumstances known to Administrative Agent or a Lender at the time that are reasonably expected to result in any loss, cost, damage or expense (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), such cash collateral to be in such amount as Administrative Agent reasonably determines is appropriate to secure such contingent Senior Debt and (b) “Subordination Triggering Event” shall mean the occurrence and continuation of any Event of Default or any Default under the Credit Agreement.

 

9.
Neither any Junior Creditor nor any Debtor Obligor may, except to as permitted under the Credit Agreement:

 

a.
sell, assign, pledge, encumber, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or obligations hereunder unless such sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or disposition is made expressly subject to this Subordination Agreement; or

 

b.
permit the terms of any of the Junior Obligations to be changed in such a manner as to have a material adverse effect upon the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents.

 

10.
All rights and interests of the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder, and all agreements and obligations of each Junior Creditor and each Debtor Obligor under this Subordination Agreement, shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of:

 

a.
any amendment, extension, renewal, compromise, discharge, acceleration or other change in the time for payment or the terms of the Senior Obligations or any part thereof;

 

b.
any taking, holding, exchange, enforcement, waiver, release, failure to perfect, sell or otherwise dispose of any security for payment of any Guarantee or any Senior Obligations;

e.

EXHIBIT I-6

4883-8184-14234861-6868-3896 v.21.5


 

 

g.
any defense based on any claim that such Debtor Obligor’s or Junior Creditor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any other Debtor Obligor or any other Junior Creditor, as applicable;

 

h.
any right to proceed against any Debtor Obligor, proceed against or exhaust any security for the Obligations, or pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party, whatsoever;

 

i.
any benefit of and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party, and

 

j.
to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all other defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by applicable law limiting the liability of or exonerating guarantors or sureties.

 

This Subordination Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Senior Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Obligor or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

11.
The Administrative Agent and the Lenders are hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Subordination Agreement, whether or not such Debtor Obligor shall have complied with any of the provisions hereof applicable to it, at any time when such Junior Creditor shall have failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Subordination Agreement applicable to it. Each Junior Creditor hereby irrevocably waives any defense based on the adequacy of remedy at law, which might be asserted as a bar to such remedy of specific performance.

 

12.
Each Junior Creditor agrees that no payment or distribution to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders pursuant to the provisions of this Subordination Agreement shall entitle such Junior Creditor to exercise any right of subrogation in respect thereof until the Payment in Full of the Senior Obligations.

 

13.
Each Junior Creditor and each Debtor Obligor will, at its expense and at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be necessary, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in writing, in order to protect any right or interest granted or purported to be granted hereby or to enable the Administrative Agent or any other Lenders to exercise and enforce their respective rights and remedies hereunder.

hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

 

15.
This Subordination Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and any of the parties hereto may execute this Subordination Agreement by signing any such counterpart.
