COMMITMENT LETTER

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

LodgeNet Interactive Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), has advised the undersigned banks and other financial institutions or entities (each an “Initial Lender” and, collectively the “Initial Lenders”) and Gleacher Products Corp. (in its capacity as administrative agent, the “Administrative Agent”), that the Borrower, together with all of its direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”), are considering filing voluntary petitions for relief (the “Cases”) under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and that the Borrower desires to establish a $30 million senior secured superpriority credit facility on terms and conditions substantially consistent with those set forth in the attached term sheet (the “Term Sheet”) for the Borrower as a debtor-in-possession pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (the “DIP Facility”).  The obligations of the Borrower under the DIP Facility will be guaranteed by the Guarantors.

 

Section 1.  Commitments.  In connection with the foregoing, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and the Term Sheet (collectively, and together with the Fee Letter referred to below, this “Commitment Letter”), you have requested that each Initial Lender commit, severally and not jointly, to provide, to the Borrower, the amount of the Delayed Draw Term Facility set forth on Schedule I hereto.

 

Based on the foregoing, each Initial Lender is pleased to confirm its several and not joint commitment to provide, or cause one or more of its affiliates (or any investment advisory client managed or advised by such Initial Lender) to provide, to the Borrower, the amount of the Delayed Draw Term Facility set forth on Schedule I hereto; provided that each such commitment shall be reduced on a pro rata basis (based on the commitments set forth on Schedule I) to the extent any lenders under that certain Credit Agreement, dated April 4, 2007, among the Borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Prepetition Lenders”), and Gleacher Products Corp., as administrative agent (other than the Initial Lenders) elect to participate in the Delayed Draw Term Facility.

 

The rights and obligations of each of the Initial Lenders under this Commitment Letter shall be several and not joint, and no failure of any Initial Lender to comply with any of its obligations hereunder shall prejudice the rights of any other Initial Lender; provided that no Initial Lender shall be required to fund the commitment of another Initial Lender in the event such other Initial Lender fails to do so (the “Breaching Party”), but may at its option do so, in whole or in part, in which case such performing Initial Lender shall be entitled to all or a proportionate share, as the case may be, of the DIP Facility and related fees that would otherwise be issued to the Breaching Party.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such funding by an Initial Lender of the portion of the DIP Facility not funded by a Breaching Party shall constitute a waiver by the Borrower of such failure to fund by 

 











 

such Breaching Party of its obligations under this Commitment Letter, and the Borrower shall retain all rights and remedies available under law or in equity against such Breaching Party for its failure to perform its commitments and obligations hereunder.

 

Section 2.  Conditions Precedent.  The Initial Lenders’ commitment and other obligations hereunder are subject to: (i) the preparation, execution and delivery of mutually acceptable loan documentation, including without limitation, a credit agreement, security agreements, guaranties and other agreements, incorporating substantially the terms and conditions outlined in this Commitment Letter and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the Initial Lenders and the Borrower (the “DIP Loan Documents”); (ii) the accuracy and completeness in all material respects of all representations that the Borrower makes to the Initial Lenders and all Information (as defined below) that the Borrower furnishes to the Initial Lenders; (iii) the Borrower’s compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter, including without limitation, the payment in full when due of all fees, expenses and other amounts payable under this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter; and (iv) the satisfaction of the other conditions precedent to the initial extension of credit under the DIP Facility contained in the Term Sheet.  You and we each agree to diligently negotiate in good faith to finalize the DIP Loan Documents following the execution and delivery of this Commitment Letter.

 

Section 3.  Commitment Termination.  The Initial Lenders’ commitment and other obligations set forth in this Commitment Letter will terminate on the earlier of (a) the date the DIP Loan Documents become effective, (b) the date the Plan Support Agreement (as defined in the Term Sheet) is terminated and (c) February 5, 2013.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Initial Lenders’ commitment and other obligations hereunder will not affect Sections 4 through 12, which provisions will survive any such termination.

 

Section 4.  Fees.  In addition to the fees described in the Term Sheet, the Borrower will pay the non-refundable fees set forth in the letter agreement dated the date hereof (the “Fee Letter”) between the Borrower, the Initial Lenders and the Administrative Agent.  The terms of the Fee Letter are an integral part of the Initial Lenders’ commitment and other obligations hereunder and constitute part of this Commitment Letter for all purposes hereof.

 

Section 5.  Indemnification.  The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Initial Lenders and the Administrative Agent and each of their affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including without limitation, reasonable and properly documented legal fees and disbursements of outside counsel), that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defense in connection therewith), in each case, arising out of or in connection with or by reason of this Commitment Letter or the DIP Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the DIP Facility, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is 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.  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity will be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, any of its directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

 

No Indemnified Party will have any liability (whether in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Borrower or any of its affiliates or any of their respective security holders or creditors for or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent such liability is determined 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.  In no event, however, will any Indemnified Party be liable on any theory of liability for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (including without limitation, any loss of profits, business or anticipated savings).

 

Section 6.  Costs and Expenses.  The Borrower will pay, or reimburse the Initial Lenders and Administrative Agent on demand for, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Initial Lenders or Administrative Agent (whether incurred before or after the date hereof) in connection with the DIP Facility and the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Commitment Letter, including without limitation, the reasonable and properly documented fees and expenses of outside legal counsel, regardless of whether any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated (but limited, in the case of legal fees and disbursements, to one counsel to the Initial Lenders and the Administrative Agent, taken as a whole, and, solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel to the Initial Lenders and the Administrative Agent, taken as a whole (and, if reasonably necessary, of one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction to all such persons, taken as a whole)).  The Borrower will also pay all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Initial Lenders and Administrative Agent (including without limitation, the fees and disbursements of outside counsel) incurred in connection with the enforcement of any of its rights and remedies under this Commitment Letter.

 

Section 7.  Confidentiality. By accepting delivery of this Commitment Letter, the Borrower agrees that this Commitment Letter is for the Borrower’s confidential use only and that neither its existence nor its terms will be disclosed by the Borrower to any person; provided that this Commitment Letter and its terms, other than the Fee Letter and its contents (except as otherwise set forth in the Fee Letter), may be disclosed by the Borrower to (i) (A) the Borrower’s affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents and representatives (the “Borrower Representatives”) and (B) Colony Capital, LLC and its affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents and representatives on a confidential basis in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) the Prepetition Lenders and their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, agents and representatives, which in each case have agreed to maintain this Commitment Letter and its terms on a confidential basis, only on a confidential and “need to know” basis in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, further, that the Borrower may make such public disclosures of the terms and conditions hereof (other than the Fee Letter and its contents (except as otherwise set forth in the Fee Letter)) (i) as the Borrower is required by law or compulsory legal process, under advice of the Borrower’s counsel, to make and (ii) in connection with its press releases to the public announcing the proposed transactions with Colony Capital, LLC and its affiliates.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the Borrower shall be permitted to disclose the Fee Letter and its contents to the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Cases to the extent advised by the Borrower’s counsel that such disclosure is necessary or appropriate.

 

Section 8.  Representations and Warranties of the Borrower.  The Borrower represents and warrants that (i) all information, other than Projections (as defined below) and information of a general economic or industry nature, that has been or will hereafter be made available to the Initial Lenders or Administrative Agent by the Borrower or any Borrower Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Information”), when taken as a whole, is and will be complete and correct in all material respects and does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein (after giving effect to all supplements and updates from time to time) not materially misleading, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were or are made and (ii) all financial projections, if any, that have been or will be prepared by the Borrower or any Borrower Representatives and made available to the Initial Lenders, any Lender, any potential Lender or the Administrative Agent (the “Projections”) have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are or were believed in good faith by the Borrower to be reasonable as of the date of the preparation of such Projections (it being understood that the Projections are not to be viewed as facts and are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Borrower’s control, that no assurance can be given that the Projections will be realized, that 

 











 

actual results may differ from projected results and such differences may be material).  The Borrower agrees to supplement the Information and/or Projections from time to time until the Closing Date so that the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence are correct in all material respects on the Closing Date as if the Information and/or Projections were being furnished, and such representations and warranties were being made, on such date.

 

In providing this Commitment Letter and in arranging the DIP Facility, the Initial Lenders are relying on the accuracy of the Information furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or any Borrower Representatives without independent verification thereof.

 

Section 9.  No Third Party Reliance, Not a Fiduciary, Etc.  The agreements of the Initial Lenders hereunder are made solely for the benefit of the Borrower and may not be relied upon or enforced by any other person.  Please note that those matters that are not covered or made clear herein are subject to mutual agreement of the parties.  No party to this Commitment Letter may assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder (other than any assignment or delegation to any other Prepetition Lender or its affiliates) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.  This Commitment Letter may not be amended or modified, or any provision hereof waived, except by a written agreement signed by all parties hereto.

 

The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the Initial Lenders are acting pursuant to a contractual relationship on an arm’s length basis, and the parties hereto do not intend that the Initial Lenders act or be responsible as a fiduciary to the Borrower, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other person.  Each of the Borrower and the Initial Lenders hereby expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship and agrees they are each responsible for making their own independent judgments with respect to any transactions entered into between them. The Borrower also hereby acknowledges that the Initial Lenders have not advised and are not advising the Borrower as to any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax matters, and that the Borrower is consulting its own advisors concerning such matters to the extent it deems appropriate.

 

The Borrower understands that the Initial Lenders and their affiliates (collectively, the “Group”) are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses (including investment management, financing, securities trading, corporate and investment banking and research).  Members of the Group and businesses within the Group generally act independently of each other, both for their own account and for the account of clients.  Accordingly, there may be situations where parts of the Group and/or their clients either now have or may in the future have interests, or take actions, that may conflict with the Borrower’s interests.  For example, the Group may, in the ordinary course of business, engage in trading in financial products or undertake other investment businesses for their own account or on behalf of other clients, including without limitation, trading in or holding long, short or derivative positions in securities, loans or other financial products of the Borrower or its affiliates or other entities connected with the DIP Facility or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

In recognition of the foregoing, the Borrower agrees that the Group is not required to restrict its activities as a result of this Commitment Letter and that the Group may undertake any business activity without further consultation with or notification to the Borrower.  Neither this Commitment Letter nor the receipt by the Initial Lenders of confidential information nor any other matter will give rise to any fiduciary, equitable or contractual duties (including without limitation, any duty of trust or confidence) that would prevent or restrict the Group from acting on behalf of other customers or for its own account.  Furthermore, the Borrower agrees that neither the Group nor any member or business of the Group is under a duty to disclose to the Borrower or use on behalf of the Borrower any information whatsoever about or derived from those activities or to account for any revenue or profits obtained in connection with such activities.  However, consistent with the Group’s long-standing policy to hold in confidence the affairs of its customers, the Group will not use confidential information obtained from the Borrower 

 











 

except in connection with its services to, and its relationship with, the Borrower, provided, however, that the Group will be free to disclose information in any manner as required by law, regulation, regulatory authority or other applicable judicial or government order.

 

Section 10.  Governing Law, Etc.  This Commitment Letter will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.  This Commitment Letter sets forth the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the matters addressed herein and supersedes all prior communications, written or oral, with respect hereto.  This Commitment Letter may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when so executed, will be deemed to be an original and all of which, taken together, will constitute one and the same Commitment Letter.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Commitment Letter by telecopier or electronic transmission will be as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Commitment Letter.

 

Section 11.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH PARTY HERETO 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 COMMITMENT LETTER OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF THE PARTIES HERETO IN THE NEGOTIATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF.

 

Section 12.  Consent to Jurisdiction, Etc.  The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally (i) (A) prior to the filing of the Bankruptcy Cases, submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court located in the City of New York and (B) after the filing of the Bankruptcy Cases, submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Bankruptcy Court presiding over the Bankruptcy Cases submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or Federal court located in the City of New York over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Commitment Letter, (ii) accepts for itself and in respect of its property the jurisdiction of such courts, (iii) waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such courts and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum and (iv) consents to the service of any process, summons, notice or document in any such suit, action or proceeding by registered mail addressed to the Borrower at its address specified on the first page of this Commitment Letter.  A final judgment in any such suit, action 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.  Nothing herein will affect the right of the Initial Lenders to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the Initial Lenders’ right to bring any suit, action or proceeding against the Borrower or its property in the courts of other jurisdictions.  To the extent that the Borrower 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, the Borrower irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Commitment Letter.

 

Section 13.  Patriot Act Compliance.  The Initial Lenders hereby notify the Borrower 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”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow the Initial Lenders to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.  In that connection, the Initial Lenders may also request corporate formation documents, or other forms of identification, to verify information provided.

 

Please indicate the Borrower’s acceptance of the provisions hereof by signing the enclosed copy of this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter and returning them, at or before 5 p.m. (New York City time) on December 31, 2012, the time at which the Initial Lender’s commitment and other obligations hereunder (if 

 











 

not so accepted prior thereto) will terminate.  If the Borrower elects to deliver this Commitment Letter by telecopier or electronic transmission, please arrange for the executed original to follow by next-day courier.
