Exhibit A
Confidentiality and Restrictive Covenant Terms and Conditions

JAGGED PEAK ENERGY INC.
CONFIDENTIALITY AND RESTRICTIVE COVENANT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
In consideration of the employee’s (as specified in the Employment Letter Agreement (“Employee”)) employment or continued employment by Jagged Peak Energy Inc. or any of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”), and the compensation now and hereafter paid to Employee, Employee agrees as follows (these “Terms and Conditions”):
		
	1.
	NONDISCLOSURE.

1.1    Recognition of Company’s Rights; Nondisclosure.  At all times during Employee’s employment and thereafter, Employee will hold in strictest confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of the Company’s Proprietary Information (as defined below), except as such disclosure, use or publication may be required in connection with Employee’s work for the Company, or unless an officer of the Company expressly authorizes such in writing.  Employee will obtain the Company’s written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, verbal, or otherwise) that incorporates any Proprietary Information.  Employee hereby assigns to the Company any rights Employee may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information and recognize that all Proprietary Information will be the sole property of the Company and its assigns.
1.2    Proprietary Information.  The term “Proprietary Information” means any and all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information of the Company.  By way of illustration, but not limitation, “Proprietary Information” includes all technical and non-technical information of the Company including (a) trade secrets, including, but not limited to, the whole or any portion or phase of any scientific or technical information, design, process, procedure, improvement, confidential business or financial information, listing or name, addresses or telephone number, or other information relating to any business that is secret and of value; (b) inventions, ideas, materials, concepts, processes, formulas, data, other works of authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs, techniques, drilling reports, maps, well logs, mud logs, seismic data and geological or geophysical data and analyses (collectively, “Inventions”); (c) information regarding research, development, production, areas or zones of interest, marketing and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements, licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers and the existence of any business discussions, negotiations or agreements between the Company and any third party; and (d) any other non-public information generated by the Company. 
1.3    Third Party Information.  Employee understands, in addition, that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes.  During the term of Employee’s employment and thereafter, Employee will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and will not disclose to anyone (other than Company personnel who need to know such information in connection with their work for the Company) or use, except in connection with Employee’s work for the Company, Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by an officer of the Company in writing.
1.4    No Improper Use of Information of Prior Employers and Others.  During Employee’s employment by the Company, Employee will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person to whom Employee has an obligation of confidentiality, and Employee will not bring onto the premises of the Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to any former employer or any other person to whom Employee has an obligation of confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former employer or person.  Employee will use in the performance of Employee’s duties only information which is generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to Employee’s own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company.
1.5    Return of Property.  Employee represents and warrants that, upon separation of employment, Employee immediately will return to the Company any and all property, documents, and files (including, without limitation, all electronic files and correspondence, recorded media, papers, computer disks, drives and other data storage devices, copies, photographs, and maps) that contain Proprietary Information, Third Party Information, or that relate 

in any way to Company or its business.  Employee agrees, to the extent Employee possesses any files, data, or information relating in any way to the Company or its business on any personal computer or device or account, Employee will delete those files, data, or information (and will retain no copies in any form).  Employee also will, prior or on to the last date of employment, return any Company tools, equipment, calling cards, credit cards, access cards, keys, and devices, any keys to any filing cabinets, vehicles, vehicle keys, and all other Company property, in any form.
1.6    Disclaimer.  An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official or to an attorney solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law.  An individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.  An individual who files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law may disclose the trade secret to the attorney of the individual and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if the individual files any document containing the trade secret under seal and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
		
	2.
	ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS.

2.1    Proprietary Rights.  The term “Proprietary Rights” means all trade secret, patent, copyright, moral rights and other intellectual property rights throughout the world.
2.2    Previous Inventions.  Inventions, if any, patented or unpatented, which Employee made prior to the commencement of Employee’s employment with the Company are excluded from the scope of these Terms and Conditions.  To preclude any possible uncertainty, within two (2) business days following Employee’s signing of the Employment Letter Agreement, Employee will provide to the Company a complete written list of all Inventions relevant to the subject matter of Employee’s employment by the Company that Employee has, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed or reduced to practice or caused to be conceived, developed or reduced to practice prior to the commencement of Employee’s employment with the Company, that Employee considers to be Employee’s property or the property of third parties and that Employee wishes to have excluded from the scope of these Terms and Conditions (collectively referred to as “Previous Inventions”).  If Employee does not timely provide the Company with Employee’s written list of Previous Inventions, Employee represents that there are no Previous Inventions.  If, in the course of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee incorporate a Previous Invention into any work product for the Company, the Company is hereby granted and will have a nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, fully paid up license (with rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made, modify, use, reproduce, make derivative works of, distribute, publicly perform, publicly display, import and sell such Previous Invention.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Employee agrees that Employee will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Previous Inventions in any Company Inventions without the Company’s prior written consent.
2.3    Assignment of Inventions.  Subject to Sections 2.4 and 2.6, Employee hereby assigns and agrees to assign in the future (when any such Inventions or Proprietary Rights are first reduced to practice or first fixed in a tangible medium, as applicable) to the Company all of Employee’s right, title and interest in and to any and all Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto) whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by Employee, either alone or jointly with others, during the period of Employee’s employment with the Company.  Inventions assigned to the Company, or to a third party as directed by the Company pursuant to this Section 2, are hereinafter referred to as “Company Inventions.”  Employee hereby forever waives and agrees not to assert any and all Proprietary Rights Employee may have in or with respect to a Company Invention. 
2.4    Nonassignable Inventions.  Employee recognizes that, in the event of a specifically applicable state law, regulation, rule, or public policy (“Specific Inventions Law”), these Terms and Conditions Agreement will not be deemed to require assignment of any invention which qualifies fully for protection under a Specific Inventions Law by virtue of the fact that any such invention was, for example, developed entirely on Employee’s own time without using the Company’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secrets and neither related to the Company’s actual or anticipated business, research or development, nor resulted or was derived from work performed by Employee directly or indirectly for the Company.  In the absence of a Specific Inventions Law, the preceding sentence will not apply. 

2.5    Obligation to Keep Company Informed.  During the period of Employee’s employment and for one (1) year after termination of Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee will promptly disclose to the Company fully and in writing all Inventions authored, conceived or reduced to practice by Employee, either alone or jointly with others.  In addition, Employee will promptly disclose to the Company all patent applications filed by Employee or on Employee’s behalf or in which Employee is named as an inventor or co-inventor within one (1) year after termination of employment.  At the time of each such disclosure, Employee will advise the Company in writing of any Inventions that Employee believes fully qualify for protection under the provisions of a Specific Inventions Law; and Employee will at that time provide to the Company in writing all evidence necessary to substantiate that belief.  The Company will keep in confidence and will not use for any purpose or disclose to third parties without Employee’s consent any confidential information disclosed in writing to the Company pursuant to these Terms and Conditions relating to Inventions that qualify fully for protection under a Specific Inventions Law.  Employee will preserve the confidentiality of any Invention that does not fully qualify for protection under a Specific Inventions Law.
2.6    Government or Third Party.  Employee also agrees to assign all Employee’s right, title and interest in and to any particular Company Invention to a third party, including, without limitation, the United States, as directed by the Company.
2.7    Works for Hire.  Employee acknowledges that all original works of authorship which are made by Employee (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of Employee’s employment and which are protectable by copyright are “works made for hire,” pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101).
2.8    Enforcement of Proprietary Rights.  Employee will assist the Company in every proper way to obtain, and from time to time enforce, United States and foreign Proprietary Rights relating to Company Inventions in any and all countries.  To that end, Employee will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such other acts (including appearances as a witness) as the Company may reasonably request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof.  In addition, Employee will execute, verify and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the Company or its designee.  Employee’s obligation to assist the Company with respect to Proprietary Rights relating to such Company Inventions in any and all countries will continue beyond the termination of Employee’s employment, but the Company will compensate Employee at a reasonable rate after Employee’s termination for the time actually spent by Employee at the Company’s request on such assistance.
2.9    Further Assurances.  In the event the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort, to secure Employee’s signature on any document needed in connection with the actions specified in the preceding paragraph, Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee’s agent and attorney in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in Employee’s behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of this Section 2 with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee.  Employee hereby waives, assigns and quitclaims to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which Employee now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned hereunder to the Company.
2.10    Presumption of Ownership.  Due to the difficulty of establishing when an Invention is first conceived or developed, whether it results from access to the Company’s actual or anticipated business or research or development, or whether it is a direct or indirect result or derivation of any work Employee performs for the Company, Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that ownership of all Inventions conceived, developed, suggested or reduced to practice by Employee, alone or jointly with others during Employee’s employment shall be presumed to belong to the Company and Employee shall have the burden of proof to prove otherwise.
3.    NON-COMPETE AND NON-SOLICITATION OBLIGATIONS.
3.1    Definitions.
(a)    “Business” shall mean the acquisition, exploration, development and production of onshore oil, natural gas and associated liquids in the United States of America.

(b)    “Business Opportunities” shall mean all business ideas, prospects, proposals or other opportunities pertaining to the Business, that are or were developed by Employee during Employee’s employment with the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates (as defined below) or originated by any third party and brought to Employee’s attention during Employee’s employment with the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates and in such capacity, together with information relating thereto (including, without limitation, geological and seismic data and interpretations thereof, whether in the form of maps, charts, logs, seismographs, calculations, summaries, memoranda, opinions or other written or charted means).
(c)    “Post-Termination Non-Compete Term” shall have the meaning set forth in the Executive Severance Plan.

Employee acknowledges that, during Employee’s employment with the Company, Employee will have access to and knowledge of Proprietary Information, including, without limitation, trade secret information.  During the term of Employee’s employment with the Company and except as provided below or as otherwise permitted by the Company (acting upon the instruction of the board of directors of the Company), to protect the Company’s Proprietary Information, Employee agrees that:
(a)    Employee shall not, other than through the Company or any person that directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the Company and any predecessor to any such entity (each a “Company Affiliate” and collectively, the “Company’s Affiliates”), engage or participate in any manner, whether directly or indirectly for Employee’s direct benefit through a family member or as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, more than five percent shareholder, officer, director, licensor, lender, lessor, or in any other individual or representative capacity, in (i) any business or activity that is competitive with the Business, (ii) any business or activity that is engaged in leasing, acquiring, exploring, developing or producing hydrocarbons and related products, or (iii) any enterprise in which a material portion of its business is materially competitive in any way with any business in which the Company is engaged during Employee’s employment with the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates (including, without limitation, any business if the Company devoted material resources to entering into such business); and
(b)    all investments made by Employee (whether in Employee’s own name or for Employee’s direct benefit through an immediate family member or intermediary)( collectively, “Employee Affiliates), which relate to the Business or the lease, acquisition, exploration, development or production of hydrocarbons and related products shall be made solely through the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates; and Employee shall not (directly or indirectly), and shall not permit any Employee Affiliates to: (i) invest or otherwise participate alongside the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates in any Business Opportunities (as defined above) or (ii) invest or otherwise participate in any business or activity relating to a Business Opportunity, regardless of whether the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates ultimately participates in such business or activity;

For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, “Permitted Investments” means passive investments in securities or other ownership interests of businesses made by Employee, Employee’s family members or any Employee Affiliates, provided that the aggregate amount owned by Employee, Employee’s family members and Employee Affiliates does not exceed 5% of the outstanding securities or other ownership interests of any such business.
3.3     Covenant Not to Compete After the Date of Termination.  Employee hereby acknowledges and agrees that the purpose of this Section 3.3 is to protect the Company from unfair loss of goodwill and business advantage, to 

shield Employee from the pressure to use or disclose Proprietary Information or to trade on the goodwill belonging to the Company, for the protection of the Company’s trade secret and Proprietary Information, and because of the knowledge Employee has acquired or will acquire as an executive or management personnel, or as an officer, or as professional staff to executive and management personnel.  Accordingly, during the Post-Termination Non-Compete Term, Employee agrees not to engage or participate in any manner, whether directly or indirectly for Employee’s benefit, through a family member, or as an employee, employer, consultant, agent, principal, partner, shareholder, officer, director, licensor, lender (other than as an employee of a chartered commercial bank with assets of $500 million or greater), lessor, or in any other individual or representative capacity, in any business engaged in leasing, acquiring, exploring, developing, or producing hydrocarbons and related products within the boundaries of, or within a twenty-five (25) mile radius of the boundaries of, any mineral property interest of the Company as of the date hereof (including, without limitation, a mineral lease, overriding royalty interest, production payment, net profits interest, mineral fee interest, or option or right to acquire any of the foregoing, or an area of mutual interest as designated pursuant to contractual agreement between the Company and any third party) or any other property on which the Company has a right, license, or authority to conduct or direct exploratory activities, such as three dimensional seismic acquisitions or other seismic, geophysical, and geochemical activities as of the date hereof (the “Geographic Scope”); provided, however, that this subparagraph shall not be construed to preclude Employee from (w) holding the Existing Personal Investments, (x) making future expenditures made by Employee, Employee’s family members or any Employee Affiliates in the Existing Personal Investments, provided that such future expenditures do not go beyond the limited allowed for Permitted Investments, (y) making Permitted Investments and (z) investing in any opportunity that is first offered to, and subsequently declined by, the Company (acting through the board of directors of the Company or its designee), if and to the extent that such opportunities are outside the Geographic Scope.

Employee shall not, during Employee’ employment with the Company or the Post-Termination Non-Compete Term (a) directly or indirectly, on behalf of Employee or any third party, solicit, encourage, facilitate, or induce any advertiser, supplier, broker, vendor, agent, sales representative, employee, contractor, consultant, or licensee of the Company or of the Company’s Affiliates to breach any agreement or contract with, or discontinue or curtail his, her or its business relationships with the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates or (b) directly or indirectly, solicit, recruit or induce as an employee, independent contractor or otherwise, either for Employee or any other third party, any person who is employed by the Company or any of the Company’s Affiliates at the time of such solicitation, recruitment or inducement; provided that general solicitations not specifically directed at any individual shall not be deemed to violate this Section 3.4.
4.    NO CONFLICTING OBLIGATION.

Employee has not entered into, and Employee agrees Employee will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict with these Terms and Conditions.
5.    LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES.  Because Employee’s services are personal and unique and because Employee may have access to and become acquainted with the Company’s Proprietary Information, the Company has the right to enforce these Terms and Conditions and any of its provisions by injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach of these Terms and Conditions.  This paragraph shall not be construed as an election of any remedy, or as a waiver of any right available to Company under these Terms and Conditions or the law, including the right to seek damages from Employee for a breach of any provision of these Terms and Conditions, nor shall this paragraph be construed to limit the rights or remedies available under applicable law or in equity for any violation of any provision of these Terms and Conditions, including, but not limited to, claims for damages.  If Employee violates any covenant contained in Section 5, the duration of such covenant shall be automatically extended for the period of time equal to the period of such violation.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any one or more of the provisions contained in these Terms and Conditions is held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, for any reason, it will be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with the applicable law as it then appears.

8.8    Waiver.  No waiver by the Company of any breach of these Terms and Conditions will be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach.

Conditions, will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party to be charged.  Any subsequent change or changes in Employee’s duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of these Terms and Conditions.

(a)    Payments by Borrower.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all such payments shall be made to the Agent, for the account of the respective DIP Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Agent’s Office, in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date specified herein. All amounts received by the Agent after such time on any date shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day and all applicable interest and fees shall continue to accrue through such day. The Agent will promptly distribute to each applicable DIP Lender its Pro Rata DIP Share (or other applicable share, as provided herein) of such payment, in like funds as received, by wire transfer pursuant to instructions to be provided by each such DIP Lender; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 2.15(a) shall not apply to any payment obtained directly by a DIP Lender as consideration for the assignment or transfer of, or sale of a participation in, any of its DIP Loans.

(c)    Presumptions by Agent. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower, prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the DIP Lenders hereunder, that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may in reliance upon such assumption, but without obligation to do so, distribute to the applicable DIP Lenders the amounts then due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable DIP Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent immediately on demand the amount so distributed to such DIP Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and after the date such amount is distributed to each such DIP Lender, with interest accruing thereon at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until so repaid.
(d)    Deductions by the Agent. If any DIP Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.06(b), 2.16 or 8.06, then the Agent may, at its option, (i) apply any amount thereafter received by the Agent for the account of such DIP Lender to satisfy such DIP Lender’s obligations to the Agent, until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligation of such DIP Lender hereunder.
(e)    Several Obligations of the DIP Lenders. All obligations of the DIP Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and several. The failure of any DIP Lender to make any DIP Loan or to fund any DIP Commitment or to make any other payment on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other DIP Lender of any obligation of its own with respect to the same. No DIP Lender shall be responsible for, or have any obligations with respect to, the failure of any other DIP Lender to so make any DIP Loan or to fund any DIP Commitment or to make any other payment on any date required hereunder to so make its DIP Loan; provided that in the event of any such failure, the non-Defaulting DIP Lenders shall have the right to fund (and to receive all of the rights and benefits associated with) such Defaulting DIP Lender’s unfunded Pro Rata DIP Share of the Commitments, allocated with reference to Pro Rata DIP Shares of all non-Defaulting DIP Lenders electing to so fund.

(a)    Subject to Section 7.08, if any DIP Lender shall obtain on account of the principal of or interest on any of its DIP Loans any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, or 

31

 

through the exercise of any right of setoff or otherwise) in excess of its Pro Rata DIP Share (or other applicable share, as provided herein), then such DIP Lender shall notify the Agent of such fact and purchase from the other DIP Lenders such participations in the DIP Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing DIP Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such DIP Loans ratably with all other DIP Lenders; provided that (i) if any such participation is purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, the participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest and (ii) this Section 2.16 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, on, or as a result of, the occurrence of a Maturity Date (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting DIP Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a DIP Lender as consideration for the assignment or transfer of, or sale of a participation in, any of its DIP Loans. 
(b)    The Borrower hereby consents to the foregoing and agrees that any DIP Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to Section 2.16(a) may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, exercise against the Borrower any and all rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such DIP Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of any such participation. 
(c)    Each DIP Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to Section 2.16(a) shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions, and other communications under this Agreement and the other DIP Loan Documents with respect to any portion of the DIP Loans so purchased, to the same extent as though the purchasing DIP Lender were the original lender thereof.
(d)    The Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive absent evidence of manifest error) of participations purchased under Section 2.16(a) and will in each case notify the applicable DIP Lenders following any such purchase or repayment.

(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any DIP Loan Party under any DIP Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Tax, except as required by applicable Law. If any applicable Law (as determined in good faith by 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 Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by such DIP Loan Party shall be increased as

necessary so that, after such deduction or withholding has been made (including any deduction or withholding applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.18(a)), the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the DIP Loan Parties. The DIP Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law or, at the option of the Agent, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Tax.
(c)    Indemnification by the DIP Loan Parties. The DIP Loan Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, promptly but in any event within five days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Tax (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under Section 2.18(c)) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient, together with any and all reasonable expenses arising therefrom or otherwise related to, in any way whatsoever (other than any penalty, interest, or expense resulting from any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Recipient (solely to the extent so determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, in a final non-appealable order)), whether or not such Indemnified Tax was correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by any DIP Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of any DIP Lender, shall be conclusive absent evidence of manifest error.
(d)    Indemnification by the DIP Lenders. Each DIP Lender shall severally, and not jointly or jointly and severally, indemnify the Agent, promptly but in any event within ten days after demand therefor, for (x) any Indemnified Tax attributable to such DIP Lender (but only to the extent that any DIP Loan Party has not already indemnified the Agent for such Indemnified Tax and without in any way whatsoever limiting the obligation of the DIP Loan Parties to do so), (y) any Tax attributable to such DIP Lender’s failure to comply with Section 11.04(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register, and (z) any Excluded Tax attributable to such DIP Lender that is payable or paid by the Agent, if any, in connection with any DIP Loan Document, and any reasonable and documented expense arising therefrom, whether or not such Tax was 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 DIP Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent evidence of manifest error.
(e)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of any Tax by any DIP Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to Section 2.18(a), such DIP Loan Party shall deliver to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such 

33

 

Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment, or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Agent.
(f)    Tax Status of DIP Lenders. 
(i)    Any DIP Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to any payment made under any DIP Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time and as otherwise reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any DIP Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable Law, or otherwise reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether such DIP Lender is subject to backup-withholding or information-reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding two sentences to the contrary, the completion, execution, and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.18(f)(ii)) shall not be required, as to any DIP Lender, if in such DIP Lender’s good-faith judgment such completion, execution, or submission would subject such DIP Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would otherwise prejudice the legal or commercial position of such DIP Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:
(A)    Any DIP Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at or within three Business Days of the Closing Date (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such DIP Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    Any Non-U.S. DIP Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at or within three Business Days of the Closing Date (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I)    In the case of a Non-U.S. DIP Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any DIP Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payment under any DIP Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

34

 

(II)    In the case of a Non-U.S. DIP Lender claiming an exemption from U.S. federal withholding Tax for income that is effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business, executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI; 
(III)    To the extent that a Non-U.S. DIP Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, or W-9 or such other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; or
(IV)    Executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming an exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law, to permit the Borrower or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(C)    If a payment made to a DIP Lender under any DIP Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such DIP 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 DIP Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent at the time prescribed by Law (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the 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 Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such DIP Lender has complied with such DIP Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.18(f)(ii)(C), the term “FATCA” shall include any amendment made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each DIP Lender and the Agent 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 Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)    [Reserved].
(h)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Tax as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.18 (including by the payment of any additional amount pursuant to this Section 2.18), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments actually made under this Section 2.18 with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party, without interest thereon (other than interest, if any, paid by the 

35

 

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 2.13(h) (plus any penalty, interest, or other charge 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 in this Section 2.13(h) to the contrary, in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this Section 2.13(h) 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 indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid. This Section 2.13(h) 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 or proprietary) to an indemnifying party or any other Person.
SECTION 2.19      Increased Costs. 
(a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    Impose, modify, or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory DIP Loan, insurance charge, or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any DIP Lender;
(ii)    Subject any Recipient to any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Excluded Taxes (as described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition thereof) or Connection Income Taxes) that is imposed on or measured by such Recipient’s DIP Loans, DIP Loan principal or other DIP Obligations, DIP Commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities, or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii)    Impose on any DIP Lender any other condition, cost, or expense affecting this Agreement or DIP Loans to be made by such DIP Lender hereunder;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such DIP Lender of making or of maintaining its DIP Commitments or other obligations related hereto, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such DIP Lender hereunder or under any other DIP Loan Document (whether of principal, interest, fees, or any other amount) then, upon request of such DIP Lender, the Borrower shall promptly pay to such DIP Lender such additional amount as necessary to compensate such DIP Lender for such additional cost incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    Capital Requirements. If any DIP Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such DIP Lender, any of its applicable lending offices or its holding company regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital for such DIP Lender or its holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the DIP 

36

 

Commitments of such DIP Lender or the DIP Loans made by such DIP Lender to a level below that which such DIP Lender or its holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such DIP Lender’s or its holding company’s policies with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such DIP Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such DIP Lender or its holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a DIP Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such DIP Lender as specified in Section 2.19(a) or Section 2.19(b) and delivered to the Borrower, shall be conclusive absent evidence of manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such DIP Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate promptly (but in any event within ten days) after receipt thereof.
(d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any DIP Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.19 shall not constitute a waiver of such DIP Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a DIP Lender pursuant to this Section 2.19 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such DIP Lender, as the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such DIP 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 nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
SECTION 2.20      [Reserved.]
SECTION 2.21      [Reserved.]
SECTION 2.22      Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of DIP Lenders; Designation of a Different Lending Office. 
(a)    If at any time (i) any DIP Lender requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any DIP Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any DIP Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, (ii) any DIP Lender requests compensation under Section 2.19 or (iii) any DIP Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 2.21, then such DIP Lender shall, as applicable, at the request of the Borrower, use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its DIP Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches, or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such DIP Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.18 or Section 2.19, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice provided in Section 2.21 and, in each case, would not subject such DIP Lender, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such DIP 

37

 

Lender, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any DIP Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    Replacement of DIP Lenders. If at any time (i) the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amount to any DIP Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any DIP Lender pursuant to Section 2.18, (ii) any DIP Lender requests compensation under Section 2.19 (and, in each case with respect to clauses (i) and (ii) hereunder, such DIP Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with Section 2.22(a)), or (iii) any DIP Lender is a Defaulting DIP Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to the Agent and DIP Lender, replace such DIP Lender by causing such DIP Lender (and such DIP Lender shall be obligated) to assign pursuant to Section 11.04(b) (with the processing and recording fee under Section 11.04(b)(iv) to be paid by the Borrower in such instance) all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other DIP Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees (subject, in all cases, to the Required DIP Lenders’ reasonable approval); provided that:
(i)    neither the Agent nor any DIP Lender shall have any obligation to find such an assignee;
(ii)    such DIP Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to all outstanding principal of its DIP Loans, all accrued interest thereon, all applicable fees, and all other DIP Obligations and other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other DIP Loan Documents (including any amounts under Section 2.13 and Section 2.16) from the applicable assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal, funded participations and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(iii)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from payments required to be made pursuant to Section 2.18 or a claim for compensation under Section 2.19, such assignment will result in a reduction in such payments or compensation thereafter; and
(iv)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Law.
In connection with any such assignment resulting from a DIP Lender becoming a Defaulting DIP Lender, if any such Defaulting DIP Lender does not execute and deliver to the Agent a duly executed Assignment and Assumption pursuant to Section 11.04(b) reflecting such assignment within five Business Days of the date on which the applicable assignee executes and delivers such Assignment and Assumption to such Defaulting DIP Lender, then such Defaulting DIP Lender shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Assumption without any action on the part of such Defaulting DIP Lender, whereupon such assignment shall become effective upon payment to such DIP Lender of all amounts 

38

 

owing to such DIP Lender under this Section 2.22(b) (which amounts shall be calculated by the Agent and shall be conclusive absent evidence of manifest error) and compliance with the other applicable requirements pursuant to Section 11.04(b).
A DIP Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such DIP Lender or otherwise (including any action taken by such DIP Lender pursuant to Section 2.22(a)), the circumstances entitling the Borrower to replace such DIP Lender cease to apply. 
SECTION 2.23      [Reserved.]
SECTION 2.24      Defaulting DIP Lenders.
(a)    Defaulting DIP Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any DIP Lender becomes a Defaulting DIP Lender, then, until such time as such DIP Lender is no longer a Defaulting DIP Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting DIP Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.02, unless otherwise agreed by the Borrower and the Agent.
(ii)    Defaulting DIP Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or, other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting DIP Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VII or otherwise) or received by the Agent from a Defaulting DIP Lender pursuant to Section 11.08 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amount owing by such Defaulting DIP Lender to the Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default exists), to the funding of any DIP Loan in respect of which such Defaulting DIP Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; third, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting DIP Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to DIP Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amount owing to the DIP Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any DIP Lender against such Defaulting DIP Lender as a result of such Defaulting DIP Lender’s breach of its Commitments and other obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default exists, to the payment of any amount owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting DIP Lender as a result of such Defaulting DIP Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and, sixth, to such Defaulting DIP Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any DIP Loan or in respect of which 

39

 

such Defaulting DIP Lender has not fully funded its Pro Rata DIP Share, and (y) such DIP Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the DIP Loan of the non-Defaulting DIP Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any DIP Loan of such Defaulting DIP Lender. All payments, prepayments, and other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting DIP Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting DIP Lender pursuant to this Section 2.24(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting DIP Lender, and each DIP Lender hereby consents to the same.
(b)    Defaulting DIP Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing that a DIP Lender is no longer a Defaulting DIP Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such DIP Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding DIP Loans of the other DIP Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the DIP Loans to be held by the DIP Lenders in their respective Pro Rata DIP Shares, whereupon such DIP Lender will cease to be a Defaulting DIP Lender; provided that no adjustment will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such DIP Lender was a Defaulting DIP Lender; provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting DIP Lender to DIP Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such DIP Lender’s having been a Defaulting DIP Lender.

Except as set forth in Schedule 3.14, each Group Member owns or has a valid and continuing right to use all Intellectual Property that is necessary for the operation of its businesses as currently conducted, free and clear of all Lien, other than where the failure to own or license any Intellectual Property could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Borrower Intellectual Property”). All necessary registration, maintenance, renewal, and other relevant filing fees in connection with any of the Borrower Intellectual Property that is the subject of a registration or an application for registration have been timely paid, and all necessary documents, certificates, and filings in connection with the Borrower Intellectual Property have been timely filed with the relevant Governmental Authority and internet domain-name registrars for the purpose of maintaining such Intellectual Property and all registrations and applications therefor.

Each Permit held by a Group Member is in full force and effect and does not, to the knowledge of the Group Members, conflict with the valid rights of others, except where the failure of such Permit to be in full force and effect or such conflict could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

No Group Member has received written notice, or has reason to believe, that any Governmental Authority intends to cancel, terminate, modify, or amend any Permit, other than any such notices or intentions that could not reasonably be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to expose any Group Member to liability in excess of $250,000 in the aggregate or otherwise be expected, either individually or in the aggregate, to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. Each Group Member has filed in a timely manner all material reports, applications, documents, instruments, and other information required to be filed by it in order to make each Permit currently outstanding to be in full force and effect pursuant to applicable rules and regulations or requests of every regulatory body having jurisdiction over such Permits.

Each DIP Loan Party acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 7.03 is to provide a non- exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially reasonable when exercising remedies against any DIP Collateral and that other actions or omissions by any of the Agent and DIP Lenders shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 7.03. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 7.03 is intended to or shall be construed to grant any right to any DIP Loan Party whatsoever, or to impose any duty on any of the Agent and DIP Lenders that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement, the other DIP Loan Documents, or by applicable Law, in the absence of this Section 7.03.

81

Until so turned over, such payment shall be held by such DIP Loan Party in trust for the Agent, segregated from other funds of such DIP Loan Party. Each such deposit of proceeds of Accounts and payments in respect of General Intangibles shall be accompanied by a report identifying in reasonable detail the nature and source of the payments included in the deposit. For the avoidance of doubt, any such payment of Accounts or payment in respect of General Intangibles, whether before or after deposit in the DIP Loan Proceeds Deposit Account, shall constitute DIP Collateral subject to the DIP Liens.
(b)    At any time during the continuance of an Event of Default:
(i)    Each DIP Loan Party shall, upon the Agent’s or Required DIP Lenders’ request, deliver to the Agent all original and other documents evidencing, and relating to, the Contractual Obligations and transactions that gave rise to any Account or any payment in respect of General Intangibles, including all original orders, invoices, and shipping receipts and notify Account Debtors that the accounts or general intangibles have been collaterally assigned to the Agent (for the benefit of the DIP Lenders) and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Agent (for the account of the DIP Lenders); and
(ii)    The Agent may, without notice, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, limit or terminate the authority of a DIP Loan Party to collect its Accounts or amounts due under General Intangibles or any thereof and, in its own name or in the name of others, communicate with Account Debtors to verify with them to the Agent’s reasonable satisfaction the existence, amount, and terms of any Account or amounts due under any General Intangible. In addition, the Agent may at any lime enforce such DIP Loan Party’s rights against such Account Debtors and obligors of General Intangibles.
(c)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each DIP Loan Party shall remain liable under each Account and each payment in respect of General Intangibles to observe and perform all the conditions and obligations to be observed and performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with the terms of any agreement giving rise thereto. Neither the Agent nor any DIP Lender shall have any obligation or liability under any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible by reason of or arising out of any DIP Loan Document 

82

 

or the receipt by any of them of any payment relating thereto, or be obligated in any manner to perform any obligation of any DIP Loan Party under or pursuant to any agreement giving rise to an Account or a payment in respect of a General Intangible, to make any payment, to make any inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment received by it or as to the sufficiency of any performance by any party thereunder, to present or file any claim, to take any action to enforce any performance or to collect the payment of any amounts that may have been assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.
SECTION 7.05      Proceeds to be Turned over to and Held by Agent. Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or directed by the Required DIP Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all proceeds of any DIP Collateral received by any DIP Loan Party hereunder in cash or cash equivalents shall be held by such DIP Loan Party in trust for the Agent (for its benefit and for the benefit of the DIP Lenders) and promptly (and, in any event, within one (1) Business Day) deposited by such DIP Loan Party in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such DIP Loan Party to the Agent (for its benefit and for the benefit of the DIP Lenders), in the DIP Loan Proceeds Deposit Account. For the avoidance of doubt, all proceeds being held in the DIP Loan Proceeds Deposit Account (or by such DIP Loan Party in trust for the Agent) shall continue to be held as collateral security for the DIP Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in this Agreement.
SECTION 7.06      Registration Rights.
(a)    Each DIP Loan Party recognizes that the Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any pledged DIP Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as in effect from time to time, and applicable state or foreign securities laws or otherwise or may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable, or not commercially reasonable and, accordingly, may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that shall be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each DIP Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any pledged DIP Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as in effect from time to time, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.
(b)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each DIP Loan Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary or desirable to make such sales of any portion of the pledged DIP 

83

 

Collateral pursuant to this Section 7.06 valid and binding and in compliance with all applicable Laws; provided that no DIP Loan Party shall have any obligation to publicly register any pledged DIP Collateral. Each DIP Loan Party further agrees that a breach by any DIP Loan Party of any covenant contained in this Section 7.06 would cause irreparable injury to the Agent and DIP Lenders, that the Agent and DIP Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach, and that, as a consequence, each and every covenant contained in this Section 7.06 shall be specifically enforceable against each DIP Loan Party, and such DIP Loan Party hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under this Agreement.
SECTION 7.07      Deficiency. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, each DIP Loan Party shall remain liable for any deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any DIP Collateral are insufficient to pay all DIP Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorney employed by the Agent or any DIP Lender to collect such deficiency.
SECTION 7.08      Application of Funds. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all payments received on account of the DIP Obligations (in respect of the DIP Collateral or otherwise) shall be applied by the Agent as follows:
(i)    First, to payment of that portion of the DIP Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses, and other amounts (including fees and disbursements and other charges of legal and financial advisors payable under Section 11.03 and amounts payable under Section 2.13(a)) payable to the Agent in its capacity as such;
(ii)    Second, to payment of that portion of the DIP Obligations constituting fees (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Commitment Fees and Exit Fees), indemnities, and other amounts payable to the DIP Lenders arising under the DIP Loan Documents (other than as contemplated by clause (iii) or clause (iv) hereof), ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts payable to them;
(iii)    Third, to payment of that portion of the DIP Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the DIP Loans, ratably among the DIP Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts payable to them;
(iv)    Fourth, to payment of that portion of the DIP Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the DIP Loans, ratably among the DIP Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts payable to them;
(v)    Fifth, to the payment in full in cash of all other DIP Obligations, in each case ratably among the Agent and each DIP Lender, based upon the respective aggregate amounts 

84

 

of all such DIP Obligations owing to them in proportion to the respective amounts payable to them; and
(vi)    Finally, the balance, if any, after all DIP Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.
ARTICLE VIII     
 
AGENCY
SECTION 8.01      Appointment and Authorization of Agents. Each DIP Lender hereby irrevocably appoints WSFS to act on its behalf as the Agent hereunder and under the other DIP Loan Documents and authorizes the Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Agents and the DIP Lenders, and no DIP Loan Party or other Group Member shall have any right as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions or otherwise. The use of the term “Agent” herein or in any other DIP Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
SECTION 8.02      Rights as a DIP Lender. If applicable, the Agent shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a DIP Lender as any other DIP Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent hereunder. The Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for, and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or other Affiliates thereof as if the Agent were not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the DIP Lenders.
SECTION 8.03      Exculpatory Provisions. 
(a)    The Agent shall have no any duty or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other DIP Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall not: 
(i)    Be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duty, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; 

85

 

(ii)    Have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other DIP Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required DIP Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the DIP Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other DIP Loan Documents); provided, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability or that is contrary to any DIP Loan Document or applicable Law, including (for the avoidance of doubt) any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification, or termination of property of a Defaulting DIP Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and 
(iii)    Except as expressly set forth herein and in the other DIP Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by it or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)    The Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it:
(i)    With the consent or at the request or direction of the Required DIP Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the DIP Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other DIP Loan Documents); or 
(ii)    In the absence of its own gross negligence and willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. 
The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default unless and until the Agent shall have received written notice from a DIP Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default, and identifying it as such.
(c)    No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into:
(i)    Any statement, warranty, or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other DIP Loan Document;
(ii)    The contents of any certificate, report, or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith;
(iii)    The performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements, or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default;

86

 

(iv)    The validity, enforceability, effectiveness, or genuineness of this Agreement, any other DIP Loan Document, or any other agreement, instrument, or document;
(v)    The satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to it as Agent.
SECTION 8.04      Reliance by the Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for so reasonably relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document, or other writing (including any electronic message, internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent, or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and reasonably believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for so reasonably relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to any Credit Extension that, by its terms, shall be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a DIP Lender, the Agent may reasonably presume that such condition is reasonably satisfactory to such DIP Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such DIP Lender prior to any such Credit Extension. The Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants, or experts. The Agent may at any time request instructions from the DIP Lenders as to a course of action to be taken by it hereunder and under any of the other DIP Loan Documents or in connection herewith and therewith or any other matter relating hereto and thereto. If Agent shall request instructions from the DIP Lenders with respect to any act or action (including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other DIP Loan Document, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until Agent shall have received instructions from the Required DIP Lenders, and the Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, the DIP Lenders shall not have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of its acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the instructions of Required DIP Lenders. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action but shall only be required to act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the written instructions of the Required DIP Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the DIP Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other DIP Loan Documents), in each case, as specified therein, and such instructions shall be binding upon the Agent and each of the DIP Lenders; provided, however, that the Agent shall not be required to take any action which is contrary to any provision of this Agreement or the other DIP Loan Documents (as each may be amended, supplemented, or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with its terms) or applicable Law.

87

 

SECTION 8.05      Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other DIP Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Agent and reasonably acceptable to the Required DIP Lenders. The Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such sub-agent. The 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 nonappealable judgment that the Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
SECTION 8.06      Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each DIP Lender (severally and not jointly or jointly and severally) shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of any DIP Loan Party to do so) on a pro rata basis (determined as of the time that the applicable payment is sought based on each DIP Lender’s Pro Rata DIP Share at such time) and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that no DIP Lender shall be liable for payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of any investigation, litigation, or other proceeding giving rise to Indemnified Liabilities, this Section 8.06 shall apply whether any such investigation, litigation, or other proceeding is brought by any DIP Lender or any other Person. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each DIP Lender (to the extent not reimbursed by the DIP Loan Parties) and the DIP Loan Parties shall reimburse the Agent, upon demand(for its Pro Rata DIP Share, in the case of the DIP Lenders) of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable and documented fees, disbursements, and other charges of counsel) incurred by the Agent in connection with preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights and responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other DIP Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that the Agent is not reimbursed for such costs or expenses by or on behalf of the DIP Loan Parties.
SECTION 8.07      Resignation and Removal of Agent. 
(a)    The Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days’ prior notice to the DIP Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required DIP Lenders shall appoint a successor agent (which may be an Affiliate of a DIP Lender), which successor shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower; provided that the Borrower shall not unreasonably withhold, delay, or condition its acceptance of the same; provided further that any such successor shall be deemed reasonably acceptable to the Borrower if a written objection in not received in writing 

88

 

within one Business Day of appointment thereof by the Required DIP Lenders; provided further that during the existence of Default or Event of Default, no such notice or consent shall be necessary whatsoever. 
(b)    If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required DIP Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Agent, then the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the DIP Lenders, appoint a successor Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on such effective date, where (i) the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other DIP Loan Documents (except that in the case of any DIP Collateral held by the Agent for the benefit of the DIP Lenders under any of the DIP Loan Documents, the Agent shall continue to hold such Collateral until such time as a successor Agent is appointed) and (ii) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to, or through the Agent shall instead be made to each DIP Lender directly and by the Required DIP Lenders, until such time as the Required DIP Lenders appoint a successor Agent, as provided for above. 
(c)    Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges, and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other DIP Loan Documents. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor, with the consent of the Required DIP Lenders. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other DIP Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article 11 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents (appointed pursuant to the terms hereof), and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Agent (other than with respect to actions determined in a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or that of any of its Agent-Related Persons).
(d)    The Required DIP Lenders may remove the Agent at any time, with notice to the Agent and the Borrower, which removal shall become effective (without the need for further notice to or the consent of the removed Agent or any DIP Loan Party or other Group Member) by its terms and, in all cases, no later than the acceptance by a successor Agent of its appointment by the Required DIP Lenders; provided that (i) such successor shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower, (ii) the Borrower shall not unreasonably withhold, delay, or condition its acceptance of the same, (iii) any such successor shall be deemed reasonably acceptable to the Borrower if a written objection in not received in writing within one Business Day of appointment thereof by the Required 

89

 

DIP Lenders, and (iv) during the existence of Default or Event of Default, no such notice or consent of any party (other than the Required DIP Lenders) shall be necessary whatsoever.
In the event of a removal pursuant to Section 8.07(d), the provisions of Article 11 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such removed Agent, its sub-agents (appointed pursuant to the terms hereof), and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the removed Agent was acting as Agent (other than with respect to actions determined in a final, nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or that of any of its Agent-Related Persons).
SECTION 8.08      Non-Reliance on Agents and Other DIP Lenders. Each DIP Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it and that no act of any such Agent-Related Person hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a DIP Loan Party or any affiliate of a DIP Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any DIP Lender. Each DIP Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other DIP Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each DIP Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other DIP Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other DIP Loan Document, or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly required to be furnished hereunder or under any other DIP Loan Document, the Agent-Related Persons shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any DIP Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects, or creditworthiness of any DIP Loan Party or any Affiliate of a DIP Loan Party that may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.
SECTION 8.09      Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Group Member (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Chapter 11 Case), the Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any DIP Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a)    To file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal, interest, and fees owing and unpaid in respect of the DIP Loans and all other DIP Obligations that are owing 

90

 

and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the DIP Lenders and the Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the DIP Lenders and the Agent and their respective counsel and other agents, and all other amounts due to the DIP Lenders and the Agent under Sections 2.13 and Section 11.03) 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 in accordance with the terms hereof;
provided that any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator, or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each DIP Lender to make such payments to the Agent and, in the event that the Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the DIP Lenders to pay to the Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Agent and its counsel and other agents, and any other amount due to the Agent under Section 2.13 and Section 11.03.
SECTION 8.10      [Reserved.]
SECTION 8.11      Concerning the DIP Collateral and the Security Documents.
(a)    Each DIP Lender agrees that any action taken by the Agent or the Required DIP Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the DIP Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or of the other DIP Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Agent or the Required DIP Lenders (or, where so expressly required, such greater proportion of the DIP Lenders) 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 DIP Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to:
(i)    Act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the DIP Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection herewith and with the Security Documents;
(ii)    Execute and deliver each Security Document and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by any DIP Loan Party;
(iii)    Act as collateral agent for the DIP Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens created by such agreements and all other purposes stated therein; provided that the Agent hereby appoints, authorizes, and directs each DIP Lender to act as collateral sub-agent for the Agent and the DIP Lenders for purposes of the perfection of all security interests and Liens (including, without limitation, the DIP Liens) with respect to the DIP Collateral, including 

91

 

any deposit accounts maintained by a DIP Loan Party with, and cash and cash equivalents held by, such DIP Lender (including, without limitation, the DIP Loan Proceeds Deposit Account);

(iii)    Take such action as is necessary or desirable to maintain the perfection and priority of the security interests and Liens (including all DIP Liens) created or purported to be created by the Security Documents; and 
(iv)    Except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms hereof or of any other DIP Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to the Agent or any DIP Lender (or the Required DIP Lenders, with the direction or consent thereof) with respect to the DIP Collateral under the DIP Loan Documents relating thereto, applicable Law or otherwise.
(b)    Each of the DIP Lenders hereby consents to the release and hereby directs, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Agent to release any DIP Lien held by the Agent for the benefit of the DIP Lenders against (i) any of the DIP Collateral and all DIP Loan Parties, upon termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full of all DIP Loans and other DIP Obligations that the Agent has been notified in writing are then due and payable and (ii) any part of the DIP Collateral sold or disposed of by a DIP Loan Party, if such sale or disposition is permitted by this Agreement (or permitted pursuant to a waiver of or consent to a transaction otherwise prohibited by this Agreement) and the DIP Liens shall have attached to the proceeds thereof.
(c)    The DIP Loan Parties and the Required DIP Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize the Agent, with the consent or direction of the Required DIP Lenders, to 
(i)    Consent to, credit bid, or purchase (either directly or through one or more acquisition vehicles) all or any portion of the DIP Collateral at any sale thereof (including any Permitted Going-Concern Sale) conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including under section 363 thereof;

The Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required DIP Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by such acquisition vehicle or vehicles and in connection therewith the Agent may reduce the DIP Obligations owed to the DIP Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their DIP Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of DIP Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration, subject in all cases the obligation of the Borrower (upon demand by any DIP Lender) to repay the DIP Obligations in full in cash upon the consummation of any such Sale.
(d)    Each of the DIP Lenders hereby directs the Agent to execute and deliver or file such termination and partial release statements and do such other things as are necessary to release Liens to be released pursuant to this Section 8.11 promptly upon the effectiveness of any such release.
(e)    Each of the DIP Lenders hereby consents to the release of any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations hereunder and under the other DIP Loan Documents in the event that such Person ceases to be Subsidiary as a result of a Permitted Going-Concern Sale or transaction permitted under the DIP Loan Documents.

95

 

may describe the DIP Collateral covered thereby as “all of the debtor's personal property and assets” or words to similar effect, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, notwithstanding that such description may be broader in scope than the DIP Collateral described in this Agreement.

To induce the DIP Lenders to make the DIP Loans, each Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, the full and punctual payment when due, on the Maturity Date or any earlier Termination Date, by reason of acceleration or otherwise in accordance with any DIP Loan Document, of all the DIP Obligations of the Borrower, whether existing on the date hereof or hereinafter incurred or created (the “Guaranteed Obligations”). This Guaranty by each Guarantor hereunder constitutes a guaranty of payment and not of collection.

108

 

SECTION 10.02      Limitation of Guaranty. Any term or provision of this Guaranty or any other DIP Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the maximum aggregate amount for which any Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall not exceed the maximum amount for which such Guarantor can be liable without rendering this Guaranty or any other DIP Loan Document, as it relates to such Guarantor, subject to avoidance under applicable Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer (including the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, and Bankruptcy Code section 548 or any applicable provisions of comparable Requirements of Law) (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”). Any analysis of the provisions of this Guaranty for purposes of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws shall take into account the right of contribution established in Section 10.03 and, for purposes of such analysis, give effect to any discharge of intercompany debt as a result of any payment made under the Guaranty.
SECTION 10.03      Contribution. To the extent that any Guarantor shall be required hereunder to pay any portion of any Guaranteed Obligation exceeding the greater of (a) the amount of the economic benefit actually received by such Guarantor from the DIP Loans and other DIP Obligations and (b) the amount such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if such Guarantor and the DIP Loan Parties had paid the aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Obligations (excluding the amount thereof repaid by the Borrower) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s net worth on the date enforcement is sought hereunder bears to the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors and the DIP Loan Parties on such date, then such Guarantor and the DIP Loan Parties shall be reimbursed by such other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata, based on the respective net worth of such other Guarantors on such date; provided however that any such claim of one Guarantor against another Guarantor or any of the DIP Loan Parties shall be subject and subordinate to the prior, indefeasible payment of the DIP Obligations and, until the DIP Obligations have been so paid, no payment may be made on any such any such claim and no such may be brought by any of the DIP Loan Parties against another.
SECTION 10.04      Authorization; Other Agreements. The DIP Lenders are hereby authorized, without notice to or demand upon any Guarantor and without discharging or otherwise affecting the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder and without incurring any liability hereunder, from time to time, to do each of the following:
(a)    Modify, amend, supplement or otherwise change, accelerate or otherwise change the time of payment, or waive or otherwise consent to noncompliance with, any Guaranteed Obligation or any DIP Loan Document;
(b)    Apply to the Guaranteed Obligations any sums by whomever paid or however realized to any Guaranteed Obligation in such order as provided in the DIP Loan Documents;

109

 

(c)    Refund at any time any payment received by any DIP Lender in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation;
(d)    Sell, exchange, enforce, waive, substitute, liquidate, terminate, release, abandon, fail to perfect, subordinate, accept, substitute, surrender, exchange, affect, impair or otherwise alter or release any DIP Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligation or any other guaranty therefor in any manner; receive, take, and hold additional DIP Collateral to secure any Guaranteed Obligation; add, release, or substitute any one or more other Guarantors, makers or endorsers of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof; and otherwise deal in any manner with the Borrower and any other Guarantor, maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof; and
(e)    Settle, release, compromise, collect or otherwise liquidate the Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 10.05      Guaranty Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense, whether arising in connection with or in respect of any of the following or otherwise, and hereby agrees that its obligations under this Guaranty are irrevocable, absolute, and unconditional and shall not be discharged as a result of or otherwise affected by any of the following (which may not be pleaded and evidence of which may not be introduced in any proceeding with respect to this Guaranty, in each case except as otherwise agreed in writing by the Agent (at the direction of the Required DIP Lenders):
(a)    The invalidity or unenforceability of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Guarantor under any DIP Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (including any amendment, consent, or waiver thereto), or any security for, or other guaranty of, any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, or the lack of perfection or continuing perfection or failure of priority of any security for the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;
(b)    The absence of any attempt to collect any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof from the Borrower or any other Guarantor or other action to enforce the same, or any action to enforce any DIP Loan Document or any DIP Lien thereunder;
(c)    The failure by any Person to take any steps to perfect and maintain any Lien on, or to preserve any rights with respect to, any DIP Collateral;
(d)    Any workout, insolvency, bankruptcy proceeding, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, or dissolution by or against the Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any of the Borrower’s other Subsidiaries or any procedure, agreement, order, stipulation, election, action, or omission thereunder, including any discharge or disallowance of, or bar or stay against collecting, any Guaranteed Obligation (or any interest thereon) in or as a result of any such proceeding;

110

 

(e)    Any foreclosure, whether or not through judicial sale, and any other Sale of any DIP Collateral or any election following the occurrence of an Event of Default by the Agent or any DIP Lender to proceed separately against any DIP Collateral in accordance with the Agent’s or such DIP Lender’s rights under any applicable Law; or
(f)    Any other defense, setoff, counterclaim, or any other circumstance that may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrower, any other Guarantor, or any of the Borrower’s other Subsidiaries, in each case other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 10.06      Waivers. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert any claim, defense, setoff, or counterclaim based on diligence, promptness, presentment, requirements for any demand, or notice hereunder, including (without limitation) any of the following: (a) any demand for payment or performance and protest and notice of protest, (b) any notice of acceptance, (c) any presentment, demand, protest, or further notice or other requirements of any kind with respect to any Guaranteed Obligation (including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon) becoming immediately due and payable, and (d) any other notice in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Borrower or any other Guarantor. Each Guarantor further unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to (x) enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation or any right of reimbursement or contribution or similar right against the Borrower or any other Guarantor by reason of any DIP Loan Document or any payment made thereunder until the DIP Obligations have been satisfied in full in cash or (y) assert any claim, defense, setoff, or counterclaim it may have against any other DIP Loan Party or setoff any of its obligations to such other DIP Loan Party against obligations of such DIP Loan Party to such Guarantor. No obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be discharged other than by complete performance.
SECTION 10.07      Reliance. Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, each other Guarantor, and any other guarantor and maker or endorser of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof that diligent inquiry would reveal, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that no DIP Lender shall have any duty to advise any Guarantor of information known to it regarding such condition or any such circumstances. In the event any DIP Lender, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to any Guarantor, such DIP Lender shall be under no obligation to (a) undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (b) disclose any information that such DIP Lender, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (c) make any future disclosure of such information or any other information to any Guarantor.

SECTION 11.02      Waivers; Amendments.
(a)    No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative; Enforcement. No failure or delay by the Agent or any DIP Lender in exercising any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder or under any other DIP Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power, or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right, remedy, power, or privilege, shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right remedy, power, or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers, and privileges of the Agent and the DIP Lenders hereunder and under the DIP Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of other rights, remedies, powers, or privileges that any such Person does or would otherwise have.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other DIP Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other DIP Loan Documents against the DIP Loan Parties shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Agent in accordance with Section 8.01 for the benefit of all the DIP Lenders; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Agent and any sub-agent thereof) hereunder and under the other DIP Loan Documents, (ii) any DIP Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with 

113

(i)    Extend or increase any DIP Commitment of any DIP Lender without the written consent of such DIP Lender (it being understood that a waiver of any condition precedent set forth in Article IV or the waiver of any Default shall not constitute an extension or increase of any DIP Commitment of any DIP Lender);
(ii)    Reduce the principal of, or rate of interest specified herein on, any DIP Loan or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other DIP Loan Document, without the written consent of each DIP Lender directly and adversely affected thereby; provided, that only the consent of the Required DIP Lenders shall be necessary to amend Section 2.12(b) or to waive the obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the rate set forth in Section 2.12(b);

(v)    Change any provision of this Section or the percentage in the definition of “Required DIP Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of DIP 

114

 

Lenders required to amend, waive, or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each DIP Lender directly and adversely affected thereby;
(vi)    Release all or substantially all of the DIP Collateral or the Borrower or all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their Guarantee of the DIP Obligations of the Borrower, in each case, without the written consent of each DIP Lender, other than a release of DIP Collateral in connection with a “credit bid” otherwise permitted hereunder;
(vii)    Subordinate any of the DIP Obligations or the DIP Liens or other Liens or security interests securing the obligations to any other Indebtedness, obligations, or liabilities or any liens or any security interest securing such other Indebtedness, obligations or liabilities, respectively, without the written consent of each DIP Lender;

provided further that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall amend, modify, or otherwise affect the rights or duties hereunder or under any other DIP Loan Document of the Agent, unless in writing executed by the Agent, in each case in addition to the Borrower and the DIP Lenders required above. 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Defaulting DIP Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver, or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all DIP Lenders or each affected DIP Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable DIP Lenders other than such Defaulting DIP Lenders, except that the Commitment of any Defaulting DIP Lender may not be increased or extended, or the maturity of any of its DIP Loan may not be extended, the rate of interest on any of its DIP Loans may not be reduced, and the principal amount of any of its DIP Loans may not be forgiven, in each case without the consent of such Defaulting DIP Lender).
In addition, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if the Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a purely technical nature, in each case, in any provision of the DIP Loan Documents, then the Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any DIP Loan Document if the same is 

115

 

not objected to in writing by the Required DIP Lenders to the Agent within ten Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.
SECTION 11.03      Expenses; Indemnity.

The Borrower acknowledges that the initial DIP Lenders are also holders of a substantial portion of the Borrower’s Prepetition convertible senior subordinated notes and are members of the Ad Hoc Consortium of Holders of TerraVia Holdings, Inc. Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes (the “Consortium”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrower’s obligation to pay the reasonable and documented fees, charges, and disbursements of Brown Rudnick, Ashby & Geddes, and GLC hereunder shall include, but not be limited to, the reasonable and documented pre- and postpetition fees, charges, and disbursements of such firms in connection with their representation of the Consortium.
(b)    Indemnification by DIP Loan Parties. The DIP Loan Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify each Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each DIP Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs (including settlement costs), reasonable and documented disbursements and out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including the fees, charges, and disbursements of one firm of counsel and one firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction for the Agent and one firm of counsel and one firm of local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction 

116

 

for the other Indemnitees (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest with respect to such joint representation, as determined in the sole discretion of such affected Person, one additional firm of counsel for each affected Person) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (i) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation, or proceeding in any way relating to, arising out of, in connection with, or by reason of any of the following, whether based on contract, tort, or any other theory of liability (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened claim, litigation, or proceeding) (x) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration of any DIP Loan Document or any other document delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby or (y) any DIP Commitment, any Credit Extension, or the use or proposed use thereof or of the proceeds thereof; provided, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, fees and expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (ii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries arising from such ownership or operation, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the negligence of such Indemnitee and regardless of whether such Indemnitee is a party thereto, and whether or not any such claim, litigation, investigation, or proceeding is brought by the Borrower, its equity holders, its Affiliates, its creditors or any other Person. This Section 11.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes, other than any Taxes that represent liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims or costs arising from any non-Tax claims, demands, actions, judgments, or suits.
(c)    Waiver of Consequential Damages. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, no DIP Loan Party or Indemnitee shall assert, and each DIP Loan Party and Indemnitee hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee or DIP Loan Party, respectively, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, any DIP Loan Document or any other document contemplated thereby, the transactions contemplated thereby, any DIP Commitment or any Credit Extension, the use thereof or of the proceeds thereof or such Indemnitee’s or DIP Loan Party’s respective activities in connection therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the preceding sentence shall limit the indemnification obligations of the Borrower under Section 11.03(b) with respect to special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages arising in a third-party claim against an Indemnitee. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any 

117

 

information or other materials in connection with the DIP Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, unless determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee.
(d)    Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor by the relevant Person entitled thereto.
SECTION 11.04      Successors and Assigns.
(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that no DIP Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each DIP Lender, and no DIP Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.04(b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.04(d), or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of Section 11.04(e).

(b)    Assignments by DIP Lenders. Any DIP Lender may at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment(s) and the DIP Loans); provided that at all times, the total number of DIP Lenders (and Participants) shall not exceed 99; provided, further that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)    Minimum Amounts. (A) In the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning DIP Lender’s Commitments and the DIP Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a DIP Lender or an Affiliate of an DIP Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to a DIP Lender, no minimum amount need be assigned and (B) in all other instances, the amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes DIP Loans outstanding thereunder) of the assigning DIP Lender, or if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the DIP Loans of the assigning DIP Lender, subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $250,000 unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Event of 

118

 

Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that contemporaneous assignments to members of an Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining where such minimum amount has been met.
(ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning DIP Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the DIP Loans or the Commitment assigned.
(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment, except that:
(A)    No DIP Lender shall be permitted to assign all or any portion of such DIP Lender’s unfunded DIP Commitment (except for any assignment to an Affiliate of such DIP Lender or an Approved Fund of such DIP Lender) to any person other than Eligible Assignee prior to the entry of the Final Order, except with the prior written consent of holders of two-thirds of the DIP Loans then outstanding; provided that, in the event that a proposed assignee that otherwise satisfies the requirements hereof is not consented to by such holders of two-thirds of the DIP Loans, the DIP Lenders withholding such consent shall promptly offer (on a pro rata basis, together will all other DIP Lenders that so choose) to acquire the DIP Loans and unfunded DIP Commitment proposed to be assigned on the terms of such bona fide proposal (including as to price) and as otherwise provided herein; 
(A)    [Reserved];
(B)    The consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment, unless such assignment is to a DIP Lender, an Affiliate of a DIP Lender, or an Approved Fund; provided, that the Agent shall acknowledge any such assignment; and
(C)    No DIP Lender shall be permitted to assign all or any portion of such DIP Lenders’ unfunded Commitment or DIP Loans to any Person that is not an Eligible Assignee without the prior written consent of each other DIP Lender;
(iv)    Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.00; provided that (x) the Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such fee in the case of any assignment and (y) in the case of contemporaneous assignments by any DIP Lender to one or more Approved Funds, only a single processing and recording fee shall be payable for such assignments.

119

 

(v)    Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting DIP Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Agent, the Pro Rata DIP Share of DIP Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting DIP Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting DIP Lender to the Agent and each other DIP Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full ratable share of all DIP Loans in accordance with its Pro Rata DIP Share; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting DIP Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 11.04(b), then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting DIP Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to Section 11.04(c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the Eligible 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 a DIP Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning DIP Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations (including Commitments) under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all the assigning DIP Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such DIP Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18, Section 2.19, and Section 11.03 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting DIP Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such DIP Lender having been a Defaulting DIP Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a DIP Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 11.04(b) shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such DIP Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 11.04(d).
(c)    Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Agent’s office 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 DIP Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts and stated interest of the DIP Loans owing to each DIP Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent evidence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the

Agent, and the DIP Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a DIP Lender hereunder for all purposes under all of the DIP Loan Documents. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any DIP Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
(d)    Participations. Any DIP Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, sell participations to any Eligible Assignee (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such DIP Lender’s rights, obligations, or both under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments, DIP Loans, or both); provided that:
(i)    Such DIP Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; 
(ii)    Such DIP Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of all such obligations;
(iii)    The Borrower, the Agent, and the DIP Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such DIP Lender in connection with such DIP Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; and
(i)    At all time, the aggregate number of DIP Lenders and Participants shall not exceed 99.
For the avoidance of doubt, each DIP Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 8.06 with respect to any payments made by such DIP Lender to any of its Participants; provided that during the continuance of an Event of Default, DIP Lenders shall be permitted to sell participations in DIP Loans and unfunded Commitments. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a DIP Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such DIP Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and the other DIP Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any provision thereof; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such DIP Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver, or consent described in the first proviso to Section 11.02(b) that directly affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 2.18 and Section 2.19 (subject to the requirements and limitations thereof (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.18(f) shall be delivered to the participating DIP Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a DIP Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 11.04(b); provided that (x) such Participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.22 as if it were an assignee under Section 11.04(b) and (y) a Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payments under Section 2.18 or Section 2.19 than the applicable DIP Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a 

121

 

change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each DIP Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.22 with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a DIP Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.16 as though it were a DIP Lender.
Each DIP 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 DIP Loans or other obligations under the DIP Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no DIP Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any DIP Commitment, Credit Extension, or other obligations under any DIP Loan Document) except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that any such Commitment, Credit Extension, 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 evidence of manifest error, and such DIP 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.
(e)    Certain Pledges. Any DIP Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such DIP Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or any central bank having jurisdiction over such DIP Lender; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such DIP Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such DIP Lender as a party hereto.
SECTION 11.05      Survival. All covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in any other DIP Loan Document or other documents delivered in connection herewith or therewith or pursuant hereto or thereto shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and the making of the Credit Extensions hereunder, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Agent or any DIP Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any DIP Loan or any other DIP Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated. The provisions of Section 2.16, Section 2.18, Section 2.19, Article VIII, Section 11.03, and Section 11.15 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the 

122

 

transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment in full of all of the DIP Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Commitments, or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.
SECTION 11.06      Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Execution.
(a)    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement and the other DIP Loan Documents (including the Orders), and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees and expenses payable to the Agent and the DIP Lenders (or any of them), constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. 
(b)    Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures 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 Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state Laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
SECTION 11.07      Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other DIP Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable:
(a)    The legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other DIP Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby; and
(b)    The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace any illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision. 
The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
SECTION 11.08      Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each DIP Lender and each of its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, to setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing, by such DIP Lender or any such Affiliate, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other DIP Loan Document 

123

 

(including all DIP Obligations) to such DIP Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such DIP Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other DIP Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch, office, or Affiliate of such DIP Lender different from the branch, office, or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting DIP Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so setoff shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.16 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting DIP Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the DIP Lenders and (y) such Defaulting DIP Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the DIP Obligations owing to such Defaulting DIP Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each DIP Lender and their respective Affiliates hereunder are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such DIP Lender or its Affiliates may have. Each DIP Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
SECTION 11.09      Governing Law; Jurisdiction.
(a)    Governing Law. This Agreement and the other DIP Loan Documents and any claims, controversy, dispute, or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based on, arising out of, or otherwise relating to this Agreement or such other DIP Loan Document (except, as to any other DIP Loan Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 11.09(a), from and after the Petition Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any action or dispute involving, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other DIP Loan Documents.
(b)    Jurisdiction. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that it will not commence any action, litigation, or proceeding of any kind or description, whether in law or equity, whether in contract or tort or otherwise, against the Agent, any DIP Lender, or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, in any way relating to this Agreement or any other DIP Loan Document or the transactions relating hereto or thereto, in a forum other than the Bankruptcy Court and the State and Federal courts sitting in New York County, New York, and any appellate court from any thereof, and each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts and agrees that all claims in respect of any such action, litigation or proceeding may be heard and determined in the Bankruptcy Court or such New York State court or, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action, litigation, or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by 

124

 

Law. Nothing in this Agreement or in any other DIP Loan Document shall affect any right that the Agent or any DIP Lender may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other DIP Loan Document against the Borrower or its properties in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(c)    Waiver of Venue. The Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally 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 or any other DIP Loan Document in any court referred to Section 11.09(b). Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably 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.
(d)    Service of Process. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 11.01. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.
SECTION 11.10      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DIP LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT, OR ANY OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT, OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER DIP LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
SECTION 11.11      Headings. Article and Section headings and the Table of Contents used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and shall not affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.
SECTION 11.12      Confidentiality. The Agent and each of the DIP Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information, except that Information may be disclosed:
(a)    To the extent permitted by any confidentiality or non-disclosure arrangement or agreement existing between the Borrower or such DIP Lender;

125

 

(b)    To its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential in accordance with customary practices); 
(c)    To the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); 
(d)    To the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process; 
(e)    To any other party hereto; 
(f)    In connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other DIP Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other DIP Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; 
(g)    Subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same (or at least as restrictive) as those of this Section 11.12 (or as may otherwise be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower), to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative, other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder; 
(h)    On a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or the credit facility established hereby or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the credit facility established hereby; 
(i)    With the consent of the Borrower; or 
(j)    To the extent that such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 11.12, or (y) becomes available to the Agent, any DIP Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. 
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent or any DIP Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after 

126

 

the Closing Date, such information is (x) clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential and (y) delivered in accordance with the terms of a confidentiality arrangement that is reasonably acceptable to the Borrower and the Agent (as applicable) and any receiving DIP Lender (including with respect to customary “blow-out” provisions relating to such Information; provided further that neither the Borrower nor any of the Subsidiaries shall deliver any such Information to any DIP Lender (or the Agent, as applicable) that has not entered into such mutually acceptable confidentiality arrangements. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
SECTION 11.13      PATRIOT Act. Each DIP Lender that is subject to the PATRIOT Act and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any DIP Lender) hereby notifies each DIP Loan Party that pursuant to the requirements of the PATRIOT Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies such DIP Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such DIP Loan Party and other information that will allow such DIP Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify such DIP Loan Party in accordance with the PATRIOT Act. Each DIP Loan Party shall, promptly following a request by the Agent or any DIP Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the Agent or such DIP Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money-laundering rules and regulations, including the PATRIOT Act.
SECTION 11.14      Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if at any time the interest rate applicable to any DIP Loan, together with all fees, charges and other amounts which are treated as interest on such DIP Loan under applicable Law (collectively, “charges”), shall exceed the maximum lawful rate (the “Maximum Rate”) which may be contracted for, charged, taken, received, or reserved by the DIP Lender holding such DIP Loan in accordance with applicable Law, the rate of interest payable in respect of such DIP Loan hereunder, together with all charges payable in respect thereof, shall be limited to the Maximum Rate and, to the extent lawful, the interest and charges that would have been payable in respect of such DIP Loan but were not payable as a result of the operation of this Section 11.14 shall be cumulated and the interest and charges payable to such DIP Lender in respect of other DIP Loans or periods shall be increased (but not above 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 DIP Lender.
SECTION 11.15      Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Agent or any DIP Lender, or the Agent or any DIP Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to 

127

 

any settlement entered into by the Agent or such DIP Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law (including the Chapter 11 Cases) or otherwise, then:
(a)    To the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred; and 
(b)    Each DIP Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.
SECTION 11.16      No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver, or other modification hereof or of any other DIP Loan Document), the Borrower acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) (i) no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Group Members and any Agent or any DIP Lender is intended to be or has been created in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other DIP Loan Documents, irrespective of whether any Agent or any DIP Lender has advised or is advising the Borrower or any Subsidiary on other matters, (ii) the arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agents and the DIP Lenders are Arm’s-Length Transactions between the Borrower and its Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agents and the DIP Lenders, on the other hand, (iii) the Borrower has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory, and tax advisors to the extent that it has deemed appropriate and (iv) the Borrower is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks, and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other DIP Loan Documents; and (b) (i) the Agent and the DIP Lenders each is and has been acting solely as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent, or fiduciary for the Borrower or any of its Affiliates, or any other Person, (ii) none of the Agent or the DIP Lenders has any obligation to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other DIP Loan Documents, and (iii) the Agent and the DIP Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged, for their own accounts or the accounts of customers, in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower and its Affiliates, and none of the Agent or the DIP Lenders has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the Borrower or its Affiliates. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the Borrower hereby waives and releases any and all claims that it may have against the Agent and the DIP Lenders with respect to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with any aspect of any transaction contemplated hereby.
