AGREEMENT

 

Section 1.              Definitions.  Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Indenture.

 

Section 2.              Acknowledgments by the Issuer.  The Issuer acknowledges and agrees as follows:

 

(a)           Anticipated Defaults.  The following defaults, Defaults or Events of Default have arisen on or prior to the date hereof and/or may arise after the date hereof under the Indenture: (i) a Default under Section 6.01(1) of the Indenture as a result of the failure of the Issuer to make the interest payment under the Notes due on November 15, 2015, (ii) a Default under Section 6.01(4) of the Indenture as a result of a breach of the debt incurrence covenant under Section 4.05 of the Indenture, and (iii) a Default under Section 6.01(5)(A) of the Indenture as a result of the failure of the Issuer to make any interest payment otherwise due under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2014 by and between the Issuer, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative and collateral agent, and the Lenders from time to time party thereto (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise from time to time, the “Second Lien Term Loan”) due on October 30, 2015.  The Issuer anticipates that these Defaults will each constitute an Event of Default under Sections 6.01(1), 6.01(4) or 6.01(5)(A), as applicable, of the Indenture upon expiration of any applicable grace period provided and/or the satisfaction of the notice requirement provided.  The defaults, Defaults and Events of Default described in this paragraph are referred to herein as the “Anticipated Defaults.”

 

(b)           Reservation of Rights.  Except for the rights, powers and remedies which the Holders agree to forbear from exercising during the Forbearance Period in connection with the Anticipated Defaults pursuant to Section 3 below, the Issuer and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Trustees and the Holders hereby reserve all rights, powers and remedies under the Indenture and the Notes, as applicable, and applicable law in connection with any violation or noncompliance by the Issuer or any Guarantor with the terms of the Indenture and Notes, as applicable.

 

Section 3.              Forbearance by the Holders Party Hereto.

 

(a)           Forbearance Period.            At the request of the Issuer, the Holders party hereto hereby agree, subject to the terms and conditions herein, (i) to forbear from the exercise of their rights and remedies, whether at law (including, without limitation, any such rights and remedies arising under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939), in equity, by agreement or otherwise, available to the Holders as a result of the Anticipated Defaults and (ii) to the extent that the Trustee accelerates the Notes during the Forbearance Period solely in connection with any Anticipated Default, each of the Holders party hereto (which, in the aggregate, beneficially hold in excess of

 

2











 

fifty percent of all Notes issued) shall vote to decelerate or reverse the acceleration to the extent the Holders are entitled to decelerate or reverse the acceleration pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, until the earliest of (the “Forbearance Termination Date” and the period beginning on the Effective Date and terminating on the Forbearance Termination Date being hereinafter referred to as the “Forbearance Period”):

 

(A)          December 30, 2015;

 

(B)          the filing of a chapter 11 case (or cases) by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

(C)          the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture other than an Anticipated Default; and

 

(D)          the occurrence of an Event of Default under the First Lien Credit Agreement (subject to a grace period of 10 business days and the benefits of any waivers thereof).

 

(b)           The forbearance contemplated in this Section 3 is limited in nature and nothing contained herein is intended, or shall be deemed or construed (i) to constitute a waiver of any of the Anticipated Defaults or any other Defaults or Events of Default or, except as expressly set forth herein, compliance with any term or provision of the Indenture or applicable law, (ii) to establish a custom or course of dealing between the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Trustee and/or any Holder, on the other hand, (iii) to toll any grace or cure period with respect to any Anticipated Defaults or any other Defaults or Events of Default under the underlying agreements, or (iv) to impair, impact, disallow or reduce any Holder’s claim for payment in full of all interest due (without regard to this forbearance) in connection with any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy filing or proceeding by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries.

 

(c)           Termination of Forbearance Period.  The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence of the Forbearance Termination Date, the provisions of this Section 3 shall automatically and immediately terminate without any further action by, or notice being due from the Trustee or any Holder, and the Holders party hereto may proceed (but are not required), to the extent an Event of Default is then continuing to exercise any and all rights and remedies which such Holders may have upon the occurrence of an Event of Default to the extent an Event of Default is then outstanding, including, if an Event of Default is then outstanding, declaring the Notes, as applicable, to be immediately due and payable in accordance with the Indenture, as applicable.

 

(d)           Acknowledgment Regarding Forbearance.  The Issuer acknowledges that none of the Holders party hereto has made any assurances concerning (i) any possibility of an extension of the Forbearance Period; (ii) the manner in which or whether the Anticipated Defaults may be resolved; or (iii) any additional forbearance, waiver, restructuring or other accommodations.  The Issuer agrees that the running of all statutes of limitation and the doctrine of laches applicable to all claims or causes of action that the Holders party hereto may be entitled to take or bring in order to enforce their rights and remedies against the Issuer are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, tolled and suspended during the Forbearance Period.
