“Moratorium on Financing Alternatives.

The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries hereby agree that from the Seventh Amendment Effective Date until (but excluding) December 7, 2015 it shall not, and shall not permit any of its affiliates, managers, directors, officers or legal or financial advisors to, solicit from or discuss in any manner any aspect of any DIP Financing or similar arrangement with any Person (other than any Permitted Joint DIP Proposal).  Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 12.19, the parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the restrictions set forth in this Section 12.19 shall fall away and be of no further force and effect if a Material Adverse Effect under clause (a) of the definition thereof has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur (a “MAE Exception”) or if the the funding of its Incremental Commitment does not occur on December 1, 2015. In the event an MAE Exception occurs, the Borrower shall deliver, as promptly as practicable, written notice thereof to the Majority Lenders signatory hereto, with a copy to the Administrative Agent and the Loan Administrator.”

 

4.                                      Ratification.

Except as provided herein, nothing in this Amendment or the other Loan Documents in any manner (i) impairs or adversely affects the continuation of the liability of the Borrower and the Guarantors for the Obligations incurred, granted, pledged and/or assigned prior to the Effective Date to the Lenders under the

 

4











 

Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents or (ii) impairs, limits, terminates, waives, extinguishes, novates or releases any right, claim, lien, security interest or entitlement of any of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Loan Administrator created by or contained in any of such documents, nor is the Borrower nor any Guarantor released from any covenant, warranty or obligation created by or contained herein or therein.

 

5.                                      Representations and Warranties.

12.                               Repayment of Incremental Loans From Avoided Collateral.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Credit Agreement (including without limitation Sections 3.05 and 10.02(c) of the Credit Agreement) or in any other Loan Document, the principal amount of the Incremental Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall be FIRST repaid or deemed to be repaid for all purposes, including, without limitation, in any subsequent bankruptcy case filed by or against the Borrower and/or the Guarantors, from proceeds of the Avoided Collateral, if any, and SECOND, to the extent that the proceeds of Avoided Collateral are not sufficient to repay in full the Incremental Loans and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, such amounts shall be paid or deemed to be paid from the proceeds of any other collateral securing the Loans.  In connection with the foregoing, the Borrower shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible Officer to the Loan Administrator and the Administrative Agent stating (i) in the event of any prepayment of Incremental Loans (including principal or any accrued and unpaid interest), that such payment is in compliance with this Section 12, and identifying the proceeds, if any, of Avoided Collateral relating to such prepayment and (ii) in the event that the Loan Administrator or the Administrative Agent is exercising remedies relating to the collateral, whether such exercise relates to Avoided Collateral (and specify which Avoided Collateral), and that the proposed payment of proceeds by the Administrative Agent or the Loan Administrator is in compliance with this Section 12.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Loan Administrator and the Administrative Agent may assume without inquiry that any repayment of principal or accrued and unpaid interest or distribution of proceeds upon the exercise of remedies has been made in accordance with this Section 12.  It is agreed by the parties hereto that this Section 12 is an express condition to the Second Lien Lenders’ and Second Lien Agent’s consent to the Incremental Loans and the resulting increase of the Cap Amount under, and as defined in, the Intercreditor Agreement.  Accordingly, it is further agreed by the parties hereto that any cash collateral order or debtor in possession financing order entered in a bankruptcy case filed by or against the Borrower and/or the Guarantors shall include the substance of this Section 12.

 

13.                               Outstanding Indebtedness.  Without limiting any other obligations owed under the Credit Agreement, the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge and agree that (a) immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Amendment on the Effective Date, $60,000,000 in outstanding principal amounts of Loans, $189,000 of accrued and unpaid interest on such principal amount in an amount determined in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, are payable by the Borrower to the Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement without defense, offset, withholding, counterclaim or deduction of any kind.

 

14.                               Release.  In further consideration of Administrative Agent’s, Loan Administrator’s and the Lenders’ execution of this Amendment, each Loan Party, individually and on behalf of its respective successors (including any trustees acting on behalf of such Loan Party, and any debtor-in-possession with respect to such Loan Party), assigns, Subsidiaries and Affiliates, hereby forever releases Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent, the Loan Administrator in its capacity as Loan Administrator and each Lender, in its capacity as lender under the Amended Credit Agreement, and their respective successors, assigns, parents, Subsidiaries, and Affiliates and their respective officers, employees, directors, agents and attorneys (collectively, the “Releasees”) from any and all debts, claims, demands, liabilities, responsibilities, disputes, causes, damages, actions and causes of actions (whether at law or in

 

8











 

equity), and obligations of every nature whatsoever, whether liquidated or unliquidated, whether matured or unmatured, whether fixed or contingent that such Loan Party has or may have against the Releasees, or any of them, which arise from or relate to any actions which the Releasees, or any of them, have or may have taken or omitted to take in connection with the Credit Agreement as amended herein or the other Loan Documents prior to the date hereof (including with respect to the Obligations and any third parties liable in whole or in part for the Obligations); provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt this release does not apply to any items related to the Second Lien Term Loan or the facility itself, the Senior Notes or any claim related to the Second Lien Loan Documents or the Senior Notes; provided, further, this release does not (a) apply to any release of the Releasees from any agreements, covenants, liabilities or obligations under any of the Loan Documents or in respect of the “Obligations” or (b) constitute a release of, or covenant not to sue, in respect of any Releasee arising from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud (actual or constructive) of any Releasee.  This provision shall survive and continue in full force and effect whether or not the Loan Parties shall satisfy all other provisions of the Credit Agreement as amended hereby or the other Loan Documents.

 

15.                               Instruction to Administrative Agent and Loan Administrator.    Each of the Lenders signatory hereto (constituting Majority Lenders) and each Incremental Lender, directs the Administrative Agent and the Loan Administrator to execute this Agreement.  The Lenders and Incremental Lenders agree that the indemnifications provided in Section 11.03 and Section 12.03(d) of the Credit Agreement apply to the foregoing instruction and the execution of this Agreement, and authorize the Loan Administrator and the Administrative Agent to take action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Loan Administrator by the terms thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.
