Except as permitted by the Amended and Restated Debenture, no Indebtedness of the Company will rank senior to or pari passu with the Amended and Restated Debenture in right of payment, whether with respect to payment of redemptions, interest, damages or upon liquidation or dissolution or otherwise.
4.26 Transfer Taxes. On the Effective Date of the Plan of Reorganization, all stock transfer or other taxes (other than income or similar taxes) which are required to be paid in connection with the exchange of the Securities to be issued to Lender under the Plan of Reorganization will be, or will have been, fully paid or provided for by the Company or Parent, as applicable, and all laws imposing such taxes will be or will have been complied with.
4.27 Manipulation of Price. Neither Parent nor the Company has, and to its knowledge no one acting on its behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or to result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of Parent or the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Securities, (ii) sold, bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of the Securities (except for customary placement fees payable in connection with this transaction), or (iii) paid or agreed to pay to any Person any compensation for soliciting another to purchase any other securities of Parent or the Company (except for customary placement fees payable in connection with this transaction).
4.28 Disclosure. Each of Parent and the Company understands and confirms that Lender will rely on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of Parent and the Company. All disclosure provided by Parent and/or the Company to Lender, in writing, regarding Parent, the Company, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, furnished by or on behalf of Parent and the Company is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither Parent nor the Company makes any representation or warranty as to any financial projection or other forward looking statement regarding either Parent or the Company.
4.29 Reporting Status. Until the date on which the Lender shall have sold all the Lender Shares and no portion of the Amended and Restated Debenture is outstanding (the Reporting Period), Parent shall file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the 1934 Act, and Parent shall not voluntarily terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports
12
under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would otherwise permit such termination.
4.30 Certain Financial Information and Reports.
(i) With a view to making available to Lender the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that may at any time permit Lender to sell securities of Parent to the public without registration (Rule 144), Parent agrees, as soon as practical after the Effective Date of the Plan of Reorganization, to:
a. make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;
b. file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of Parent under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so long as Parent remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the applicable provisions of Rule 144; and
c. furnish to Lender so long as Lender owns any of the Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by Parent, if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, and (ii) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit Lender to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.
(ii) Parent agrees to send the following to Lender during the Reporting Period: (i) unless filed with the SEC through its IDEA or EDGAR systems and available to the public through the IDEA or EDGAR systems, within one business day after the filing thereof with the SEC, a copy of all Annual Reports on Form 10-K or 10-KSB, any interim reports or any consolidated balance sheets, income statements, stockholders equity statements and/or cash flow statements for any period other than annual, any Current Reports on Form 8-K and any registration statements (other than on Form S-8) or amendments filed pursuant to the 1933 Act of Parent, (ii) on the same day as the release thereof, copies of all press releases issued by Parent or the Company, and (iii) copies of any notices and other information made available or given to the stockholders of Parent generally, contemporaneously with the making available or giving thereof to the stockholders.
4.31 Fees. Parent and the Company shall, jointly and severally, reimburse Lender or its designee(s) for reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred after the Effective Date of the Plan of Reorganization in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and/or the other Amended Transaction Documents (including reasonable legal fees and disbursements in connection therewith) and additional fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection with perfecting, maintaining, continuing, and/or protecting Lenders security interests and liens. Parent shall be responsible for the payment of, and shall pay, any placement agents
13
fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers commissions (other than for Persons engaged by Lender) relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall hold Lender harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees and out-of- pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim relating to any such payment.
4.32 Pledge of Securities. Each of Parent and the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by Lender in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The pledge of the Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and Lender effecting a pledge of Securities shall not be required to provide Parent or the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to Parent or the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Amended Transaction Document, unless required in connection with the registration of the Securities or by applicable law. Each of Parent and the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by Lender.
4.33 Additional Debentures. So long as Lender beneficially owns the Amended and Restated Debenture, except as expressly set forth in the Plan of Reorganization and/or the disclosure statement relating thereto, neither Parent or the Company will issue any debentures (other than to Lender as contemplated hereby) and neither Parent or the Company shall issue any other securities that would cause a breach or default under the Amended and Restated Debenture.
4.34 Corporate Existence. So long as Lender beneficially owns any of the Securities, Parent and the Company shall not be party to any Fundamental Transaction (as defined in the Amended and Restated Debenture) unless each of Parent and the Company is in compliance with the applicable provisions governing Fundamental Transactions set forth in the Amended and Restated Debenture.
4.35 Incurrence of Liens. So long as the Amended and Restated Debenture is outstanding, Parent and the Company shall not, directly or indirectly, allow or suffer to exist any Lien, other than Permitted Liens (as defined in the Amended and Restated Debenture), upon any property or assets (including accounts and contract rights) owned by Parent and the Company.
4.36 Conduct of Business. The business of Parent and the Company shall not be conducted in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental entity, except where such violations would not result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.
4.37 Allocation of Consideration for Federal Income Tax Purposes. In accordance with Treasury regulations section 1.1273-2(h), the Company and Parent shall allocate the consideration for the Amended and Restated Debenture and the Lender Shares based upon their relative fair market values. In making such allocation, the parties hereto shall agree, based upon the advice of their financial advisors, upon the appropriate methodology to be used for determining the relative fair market values of the Amended and Restated Debenture and the Lender Shares.
14
4.38 Further Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
4.39 Indemnification. In consideration of Lenders execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Amended Transaction Documents and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Plan of Reorganization, and in addition to all of the Companys and Parents other obligations under the Amended Transaction Documents, the Company and Parent shall jointly and severally defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless Lender and each other holder of any of the Securities, or any portion thereof, and all of their respective stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees, and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing Persons agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the Indemnitees) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective, of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements (the Indemnified Liabilities), incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or Parent in the Amended Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or Parent contained in the Amended Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or Parent) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Amended Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the issuance of the Securities, or (iii) the status of Lender or holder of the Securities as an investor in, or lender to, the Company or Parent pursuant to the transactions contemplated by the Amended Transaction Documents. To the extent that the foregoing undertakings by the Company and Parent may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company and Parent shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable law.
4.40 Remedies. Lender and each holder of the Securities, or any portion thereof, shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Amended Transaction Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law. Furthermore, each of the Company and Parent recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under the Amended Transaction Documents, any remedy at
15
law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender or the other applicable holder(s). Each of the Company and Parent therefore agrees that Lender or the other applicable holder(s) shall be entitled to seek temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting a bond or other security.
4.41 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company or Parent makes a payment or payments to Lender hereunder or pursuant to any of the other Amended Transaction Documents or Lender enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, Parent, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration 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 enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
4.42 Cross-Default. If the Company or Parent, as applicable, breaches, in any material respect, any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or other term or provision contained herein or contained in any of the other Amended Transaction Documents, such breach shall constitute a Default and an Event of Default under the Amended and Restated Debenture and each of the other Amended Transaction Documents; provided, however, that if such breach (i) does not otherwise constitute a Default or an Event of Default under another Amended Transaction Document, and (ii) such breach is curable, such breach shall only constitute a Default and an Event of Default if such breach continues for a period of at least five (5) consecutive business days after receipt of written notice thereof by the Company or the Parent.
4.47 Reaffirmation of Liens. The Company and Parent each hereby renews and affirms the liens and security interests created and granted in the Security Documents and the other Amended Transaction Documents, as modified on the date hereof. The Company and Parent each agree that this Agreement shall in no manner impair the liens and security interests securing the Obligations, and that such liens and security interests shall not in any manner be waived, the purposes of this Agreement being to modify the Amended Transaction Documents as herein provided and to carry forward all liens and security interests securing same, which are acknowledged by the Company and Parent to be valid and subsisting. The Company and Parent each hereby further covenants and agrees to hereafter, from time to time upon the reasonable request of Lender, execute and deliver to Lender such writings and take such other actions as Lender may request from time to time in order to create, evidence, perfect, continue, maintain, or otherwise protect or assure unto Lender a valid, perfected, first priority Lien in favor of Lender covering all of the Collateral, as security for the Obligations, or to evidence or carry out the intent of this Agreement and/or the other Amended Transaction Documents, or to otherwise perfect or give further assurances of any right(s) and/or remedies granted or provided to, or for the benefit of, Lender in this Agreement and/or the other Amended Transaction Documents.
4.48 Maintenance of Leases. Without limiting any covenants of the Company and/or Parent contained in any of the Amended Transaction Documents, the Company and Parent
16
hereby expressly agree, at their sole cost and expense, to hereafter at all times maintain, in full force and effect, all oil, gas, and/or mineral or hydrocarbon leases, interests, and rights included in, or constituting a part of, the Collateral as of the Effective Date of the Plan of Reorganization and to not allow any of such leases, interests or other rights to terminate, expire, lapse, or otherwise be impaired or diminished in any manner whatsoever, in each case without the prior written approval of Lender.
