SECTION I.  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

 

1.01    Acknowledgments. Each of the Loan Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, subject to the terms set forth herein, that:

(b)    Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and affirms (as of the date hereof) the Loan Documents and the Obligations owing thereunder and acknowledges (as of the date hereof) that the Loan Documents are in full force and effect.

(c)    Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Lenders have not waived, released or compromised, do not hereby waive, release or compromise, and may never waive, release or compromise any events, occurrences, acts, or omissions that may constitute or give rise to any Defaults or Events of Default (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Forbearance Defaults) that existed or may have existed, or may presently exist, or may arise in the future, nor does any Lender waive any Rights and Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that the Requisite Lenders have made no representations as to what actions, if any, they will take after the Forbearance Period, and each Requisite Lender hereby specifically reserves any and all rights, remedies, and claims it has (after giving effect hereto) with respect to the Forbearance Default and any other default and/or Events of Default that may occur;

 

(d)    The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein: (i) constitute an extension, modification, or waiver of any aspect of any of the Loan Documents; (ii) extend the maturity of the Obligations or the due date of any payment or performance of any Obligations or other obligations under the other Loan Documents or payable in connection with the Loan Documents; (iii) give rise to any obligation on the part of the Lenders to extend, modify or waive any term or condition of the Loan Documents; (iv) establish any course of dealing with respect to the Loan Documents; or (v) give rise to any defenses or counterclaims to the right of the Lenders to compel payment of the Obligations or otherwise enforce their rights and remedies set forth in the Loan Documents after the Termination Date (as defined below);

(f)    The Lenders’ agreement to forbear from the exercise of their Rights and Remedies solely as to the Forbearance Defaults, and to perform as provided herein, shall not, except as expressly provided herein, invalidate, impair, negate or otherwise affect the Lenders’ ability to exercise their Rights and Remedies under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

WHEREAS, upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of the Forbearance Defaults (following the giving of any applicable notice and the expiration of any cure period specified in the Credit Agreement), the Administrative Agent (at the request of the Requisite Lenders or with the consent of the Requisite Lenders) would be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies under the Loan Documents (to the extent any such Forbearance Default becomes an Event of Default) as set forth in Section 11.2 of the Credit Agreement and corresponding provisions of any other Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights of set off and conversion) or applicable law (all such rights and remedies collectively (but excluding the charging of default interest and rights pursuant to Section 5.1(a) of the Credit Agreement) the “Rights and Remedies”); and

 

WHEREAS, the Loan Parties have requested that the Lenders executing this Agreement (constituting Requisite Lenders) agree to forbear in the exercise of their Rights and Remedies solely to the extent arising from the occurrence and continuation of the Forbearance Defaults, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

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

 

SECTION I.  ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

 

1.01    Acknowledgments. Each of the Loan Parties hereby acknowledges and agrees, upon execution and delivery of this Agreement, subject to the terms set forth herein, that:

 

(a)    Each Specified Default would constitute an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement (upon the expiration of any cure period and giving of any required notice);

 

(b)    Each Loan Party hereby ratifies and affirms (as of the date hereof) the Loan Documents and the Obligations owing thereunder and acknowledges (as of the date hereof) that the Loan Documents are in full force and effect. Each Loan Party agrees that the Loan Documents constitute valid and binding obligations and agreements of each of the Loan Parties enforceable against each Loan Party in accordance with their respective terms except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity and principles of good faith and fair dealing;

 

(c)    Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Lenders have not waived, released or compromised, do not hereby waive, release or compromise, and may never waive, release or compromise any events, occurrences, acts, or omissions that may constitute or give rise to any Defaults or Events of Default (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Forbearance Defaults) that existed or may have existed, or may presently exist, or may arise in the future, nor does any Lender waive any Rights and Remedies. The Borrower acknowledges that the Requisite Lenders have made no representations as to what actions, if any, they will take after the Forbearance Period, and each Requisite Lender hereby specifically reserves any and all rights, remedies, and claims it has (after giving effect hereto) with respect to the Forbearance Default and any other default and/or Events of Default that may occur;

 

 

 

 

(d)    The execution and delivery of this Agreement shall not, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein: (i) constitute an extension, modification, or waiver of any aspect of any of the Loan Documents; (ii) extend the maturity of the Obligations or the due date of any payment or performance of any Obligations or other obligations under the other Loan Documents or payable in connection with the Loan Documents; (iii) give rise to any obligation on the part of the Lenders to extend, modify or waive any term or condition of the Loan Documents; (iv) establish any course of dealing with respect to the Loan Documents; or (v) give rise to any defenses or counterclaims to the right of the Lenders to compel payment of the Obligations or otherwise enforce their rights and remedies set forth in the Loan Documents after the Termination Date (as defined below);

 

(e)    The running of all statutes of limitation and the doctrine of laches applicable to all claims or causes of action that the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender Holder may be entitled to take or bring in order to enforce its rights and remedies against the Borrower are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, tolled and suspended during the Forbearance Period; and

 

(f)    The Lenders’ agreement to forbear from the exercise of their Rights and Remedies solely as to the Forbearance Defaults, and to perform as provided herein, shall not, except as expressly provided herein, invalidate, impair, negate or otherwise affect the Lenders’ ability to exercise their Rights and Remedies under the Loan Documents or otherwise.

 

SECTION II.  FORBEARANCE

 

2.01    Forbearance. In consideration of the Loan Parties’ agreement of timely compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, agreements and covenants of the Loan Parties set forth herein, subject to the satisfaction of each of the conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, from the Agreement Effective Date (as defined below) until the Termination Date (as defined below), each Lender (severally and not jointly) hereby agrees to forbear, and to instruct the Administrative Agent to forbear (the “Forbearance”), from exercising any of the Rights and Remedies with respect to the Forbearance Defaults. For the avoidance of doubt, during the Forbearance Period (as defined below), each Lender agrees that it (individually or collectively) will not deliver any notice or instruction to the Administrative Agent directing the Administrative Agent, in each case, to exercise any of the Rights and Remedies under the Loan Documents or applicable law against the Loan Parties with respect to the Forbearance Defaults. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall require forbearance from, or otherwise affect, the rights and remedies of the parties to the Credit Agreement pursuant to Section 5.1(a) thereof (including the last paragraph thereof).

 

2.02    Forbearance Period. The Forbearance shall commence on the Agreement Effective Date and continue until the earlier of (a) March 31, 2021 at 11:59 p.m. New York City time and (b) notice from the Requisite Lenders following the date on which any Event of Termination (as defined below) shall have occurred (the earlier of clauses (a) and (b), the “Termination Date” and the period commencing on the Agreement Effective Date and ending on the Termination Date, the “Forbearance Period”); provided that the Forbearance Period may be extended by confirmation (including via e-mail) from Lenders constituting Requisite Lenders (or from authorized counsel on behalf of such Lenders). Upon the Termination Date, the Forbearance Period shall immediately and automatically terminate and have no further force or effect, and each of the Lenders shall be released from any and all obligations and agreements under this Agreement and shall be entitled to exercise any of the Rights and Remedies as if this Agreement had never existed, and all of the Rights and Remedies shall be available without restriction or modification, as if this Agreement had not been effectuated.

 

 

 

 

SECTION III.  EVENTS OF TERMINATION.

 

3.01    Events of Termination. The Forbearance Period shall automatically terminate immediately upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, an “Event of Termination”):

 

(a)    the failure of any Loan Party to comply with any term, condition or covenant expressly set forth in this Agreement, including, without limitation, the covenants in Section IV of this Agreement, unless (a) the Requisite Lenders, in their sole discretion, grant a cure period for compliance with such term, condition or covenant (including via e-mail) (in which case the Forbearance Period shall terminate if the applicable Loan Party does not comply by the expiration of the cure period) or (b) the Loan Party’s failure to comply is otherwise waived by the Requisite Lenders (including via e-mail);

 

(b)    the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement, other than the Forbearance Defaults;

 

(c)    the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other affiliates pay any interest relating to the 5.950% Notes due 2024 issued pursuant to the Indenture (the “Notes”), regardless whether then due and owing;

 

(d)    the occurrence of any “Event of Default” under any of the Other Debt Documents (in each case as such terms (or any comparable terms) are defined in such Other Debt Documents, as applicable), in each case that is not subject to a forbearance under the Other Forbearance Agreements;

 

(e)    a breach by the Borrower, WPG (as defined below), or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates of any covenant or other provision of any forbearance agreement entered into in connection with any of the Forbearance Defaults (or related cross-defaults) under the Other Debt Documents (the “Other Forbearance Agreements”) or the termination of the forbearance period under any of the Other Forbearance Agreements;

 

(f)    any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement shall be incorrect in any material respect as of the date hereof; provided that if any such representation or warranty is qualified by or subject to a materiality qualification, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects;

 

(g)    the enforcement of any rights or remedies under: (i) any of the Other Debt Documents and/or (ii) any of the Other Forbearance Agreements; and/or

 

 

 

 

(h)    entry into any restructuring support agreement, debtor-in-possession financing, plan of reorganization or similar agreement by the Borrower, WPG or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, in each case without the consent of the Requisite Lenders, acting in their sole discretion.

 

SECTION IV.  OTHER AGREEMENTS

 

4.01    Compliance with Credit Agreement. During the Forbearance Period, the Borrower shall comply with all obligations, limitations, restrictions or prohibitions that would otherwise be effective or applicable under the Credit Agreement, including any obligations, limitations, restrictions or prohibitions that would otherwise be effective or applicable during the continuance of any Event of Default.
