(i)    the breach in any material respect (without giving effect to any “materiality” qualifiers set forth therein) by one or more of the Consenting Creditors of any of their covenants, undertakings, obligations, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement such that the non-breaching Consenting Creditors own or control less than 50.1% in aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes owned or controlled by all of the Consenting Creditors, which breach remains uncured for a period of five (5) Business Days;

(ii)    the Bankruptcy Court enters an order (A) converting the Chapter 11 Cases to cases under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (B) dismissing the Chapter 11 Cases (in each case, other than as a result of any action or Proceeding initiated or supported by the Debtors);

(iii)    the issuance by any Governmental Entity, including any regulatory authority or court of competent jurisdiction, of any ruling, judgment or order making illegal, enjoining, or otherwise preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Restructuring, unless, in each case, such ruling, judgment or order has been issued at the request one or more Debtors, or, in all other circumstances, such ruling, judgment or order has been stayed, reversed or vacated within five (5) Business Days after such issuance;

(iv)    the board of directors of Cenveo determines in good faith, and after consultation with outside counsel, that continued support for the Restructuring and performance under this Agreement would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; or

(v)    the Effective Date shall not have occurred by November 2, 2018 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 5(b)(v) shall not be available to the Debtors if the failure of the Effective Date to have occurred by the End Date is caused by, or results from, the breach by any of the Debtors of their respective covenants, agreements or other obligations under this Agreement.

 

24


(c)    Mutual Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by mutual written agreement among the Debtors and the Requisite Consenting Creditors. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall terminate automatically without further required action upon the occurrence of the Effective Date.

(d)    Effect of Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement with respect to any Restructuring Support Party in accordance with this Section 5, and except as provided in Section 14 hereof, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect with respect to such Restructuring Support Party, and each such Restructuring Support Party shall, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, be immediately released from its liabilities, obligations, commitments, undertakings and agreements under or related to this Agreement, have no further rights, benefits or privileges hereunder, and shall have all the rights and remedies that it would have had and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Restructuring or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement, including all rights and remedies available to it under applicable Law and, in the case of the Consenting Creditors, the First Lien Notes Indenture or any of the other First Lien Notes Documents; provided, however, that in no event shall any such termination relieve a Restructuring Support Party from (i) liability for its breach or non-performance of its obligations hereunder prior to the date of such termination or (ii) obligations under this Agreement which by their terms expressly survive termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any of the Consenting Creditor Termination Events or any of the Debtor Termination Events may be waived in accordance with the procedures established by Section 8 hereof, in which case the Termination Event so waived shall be deemed not to have occurred, this Agreement shall be deemed to continue in full force and effect, and the rights and obligations of the Restructuring Support Parties under this Agreement shall be restored, subject to any modification set forth in such waiver. If this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with this Section 5 at a time when permission of the Bankruptcy Court shall be required for a Consenting Creditor to change or withdraw (or cause to change or withdraw) its vote to accept the Plan, neither the Debtors nor any other Restructuring Support Party shall oppose any attempt by such party to change or withdraw (or cause to change or withdraw) such vote at such time.

(e)    Automatic Stay. The Debtors acknowledge and agree (and shall not dispute) that after the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the giving of a Termination Notice by the Requisite Consenting Creditors pursuant to this Agreement shall not be a violation of the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (and the Debtors hereby waive, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, the applicability of the automatic stay to the giving of such Termination Notice), and no cure period contained in this Agreement shall be extended without the prior written consent of the Requisite Consenting Creditors.

 

25


  6. Good Faith Cooperation; Further Assurances; Acknowledgement.

During the Restructuring Support Period, the Restructuring Support Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith and shall reasonably coordinate their activities with each other (to the extent reasonably practicable and subject to the terms hereof) in respect of (a) all material matters concerning the implementation of the Restructuring, and (b) the pursuit and support of the Restructuring (including Solicitation, confirmation and consummation of the Plan). Furthermore, subject to the terms hereof, each of the Restructuring Support Parties shall take such reasonable action as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement and the Restructuring, including making and filing any required Governmental Entity filings and voting any Claims and Interests in favor of the Plan (provided that, none of the Consenting Creditors shall be required to incur, assume, become liable in respect of or suffer to exist any expenses, liabilities or other obligations, or agree to or become bound by any commitments, undertakings, concessions, indemnities or other arrangements that could result in expenses, liabilities or other obligations to such Consenting Creditor, in connection therewith). This Agreement is not, and shall not be deemed, a solicitation of votes for the acceptance of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization or a solicitation to tender or exchange any securities. The acceptance of the Plan by the Consenting Creditors will not be solicited until entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Disclosure Statement Order and the Consenting Creditors have received the Disclosure Statement and related ballots, as approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

If and to the extent not previously reimbursed or paid in connection with the foregoing, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors shall reimburse or pay (as the case may be) all Transaction Expenses pursuant to section 1129(a)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Debtors hereby acknowledge and agree that the Transaction Expenses are of the type that should be entitled to treatment as, and the Debtors shall seek treatment of such Transaction Expenses as, administrative expense claims pursuant to sections 503(b) and 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

With respect to any Person that becomes a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering a Joinder Agreement after the Restructuring Support Effective Date, this Agreement shall become effective as to such Person at the time such Joinder Agreement is executed and delivered to counsel to the Debtors and Stroock (in each case, at the addresses for such law firms set forth in Section 20 hereof).

 

  11. Conflicts.

The Restructuring Term Sheet is supplemented by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. However, to the extent this Agreement is silent as to a particular matter set forth in the Restructuring Term Sheet, such matter shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Restructuring Term Sheet. In the event the terms and conditions as set forth in the Restructuring Term Sheet and this Agreement are inconsistent, the terms and conditions of the Restructuring Term Sheet shall control. In the event of any conflict among the terms and provisions of the Plan, this Agreement and/or the Restructuring Term Sheet, the terms and provisions of the Plan shall control. In the event of any conflict among the terms and provisions of the Confirmation Order and the Plan, the terms and provisions of the Confirmation Order shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11 shall affect, in any way, the requirements set forth herein for the amendment of this Agreement.

 

  12. GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT IT MAY BE PREEMPTED BY THE BANKRUPTCY CODE). BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE RESTRUCTURING SUPPORT PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT, DISPUTE OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND THE RESTRUCTURING SUPPORT PARTIES IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTIONS AS TO VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING CONSENT TO JURISDICTION, FOLLOWING THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE CHAPTER 11 CASES AND SO LONG AS THE BANKRUPTCY COURT HAS JURISDICTION OVER THE DEBTORS, EACH OF THE RESTRUCTURING SUPPORT PARTIES AGREES THAT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. EACH RESTRUCTURING SUPPORT PARTY IRREVOCABLY

 

31


WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

  13. Specific Performance/Remedies.

It is understood and agreed by the Restructuring Support Parties that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Restructuring Support Party and each non-breaching Restructuring Support Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) as a remedy of any such breach, in addition to any other remedy to which such non-breaching Restructuring Support Party may be entitled, at law or in equity, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court requiring any Restructuring Support Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder. Each Restructuring Support Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedies.

 

  14. Survival.

Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the agreements and obligations of the Restructuring Support Parties in this Section 14 and Sections 5(d), 5(e), 8, 9 (solely for purposes of enforcement of the payment of Transaction Expenses accrued through the occurrence of the applicable Termination Event), 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 hereof, the last paragraph of Section 2, and the last paragraph of Section 3(a), and any defined terms used in any of the forgoing Sections or paragraphs (solely to the extent used therein), shall survive such termination and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof.

The headings of the sections, paragraphs and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof or, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Agreement.

 

  16. Successors and Assigns; Severability.

This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Restructuring Support Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and representatives; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 16 shall be deemed to permit sales, assignments or other Transfers of the Claims and Interests other than in accordance with Sections 3(c) and 3(d) of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance, shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision or part thereof and the remaining part of such provision and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 16 shall be deemed to amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or constitute a waiver of, any Termination Event. Upon any such determination of invalidity, the Restructuring Support Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the

 

32


Restructuring Support Parties as closely as possible, in a reasonably acceptable manner, such that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

 

  17. No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

This Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Restructuring Support Parties and no other Person shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof.

 

  18. Prior Negotiations; Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules hereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the Restructuring Support Parties, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, whether written or oral; provided, however, that any confidentiality agreement executed by any Consenting Creditor shall survive execution and delivery of this Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect, subject to the terms thereof, irrespective of the terms hereof.

  21. Reservation of Rights; No Admission.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and in any amendment hereto, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair or restrict the ability of each of the Restructuring Support Parties to (a) protect and preserve its rights, remedies and interests, including its claims against any of the other Restructuring Support Parties (or their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries), (b) consult with any of the other Restructuring Support Parties, (c) fully participate in any bankruptcy case filed by any Debtor, or (d) purchase, sell or enter into any transactions in connection with Claims and Interests, in each case subject to the terms hereof. Without limiting the foregoing sentence in any way, if the Restructuring is not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, nothing shall be construed herein as a waiver by any Restructuring Support Party of any or all of such Restructuring Support Party’s rights, remedies, claims and defenses and the Restructuring Support Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, claims and defenses. No Consenting Creditor shall have, by reason of this Agreement, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Restructuring Support Party, any holder of Claims and Interests, or any other Person, and nothing in this Agreement (including the Restructuring Term Sheet), express or implied, is intended to impose, or shall be construed as imposing, upon any Consenting Creditor any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the Restructuring except as expressly set forth herein. This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Restructuring Support Parties. Pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, any applicable state rules of evidence and any other applicable Law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any Proceeding other than a Proceeding to enforce its terms. This Agreement, the Restructuring Term Sheet and the Plan shall in no event be construed as or be deemed to be evidence of an admission or concession on the part of any Restructuring Support Party of any claim, fault, liability or damages whatsoever (including with respect to any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan and it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Consenting Creditors are continuing to conduct diligence with respect to the Pension Plans and Multiemployer Plans). Each of the Restructuring Support Parties denies any and all wrongdoing or liability of any kind and does not concede any infirmity in the claims or defenses which it has asserted or could assert.

 

  22. Prevailing Party.

If any Restructuring Support Party brings a Proceeding against any other Restructuring Support Party based upon a breach by such Restructuring Support Party of its obligations hereunder, the prevailing Restructuring Support Party shall be entitled to the reimbursement of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and financial advisors’ fees in connection with such Proceeding, from the non-prevailing Restructuring Support Party.

 

35


  23. Representation by Counsel.

Each Restructuring Support Party acknowledges that it has been represented by, or has been provided a reasonable period of time to obtain access to and advice by, counsel with respect to this Agreement and the Restructuring contemplated herein. Accordingly, any rule of Law or any legal decision that would provide any Restructuring Support Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Restructuring Support Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived.

 

  24. Relationship Among Restructuring Support Parties.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the duties and obligations of the Consenting Creditors under this Agreement shall be several, not joint. It is understood and agreed that no Consenting Creditor has any duty of trust or confidence in any kind or form with any other Restructuring Support Party, and, except as expressly provided in or expressly contemplated by this Agreement, there are no commitments among or between them.

  25. Disclosure; Publicity.

The Debtors shall submit drafts to the Ad Hoc Committee Advisors of any press releases and public documents that constitute disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement or any amendment to the terms of this Agreement at least three (3) Business Days prior to making any such disclosure, and shall afford them a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to comment on such documents and disclosures and shall incorporate any such reasonable comments in good faith.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall require any Debtor, nor any board of directors or managers of any Debtor, to take or refrain from taking any action pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, terminating this Agreement), to the extent such Debtor or board of directors or mangers reasonably determines in good faith, based on the written advice of external counsel (including counsel to the Debtors), that taking, or refraining from taking, such action, as applicable, would be inconsistent with its fiduciary obligations under applicable law, in which case, the Debtors shall promptly notify each of the Consenting Creditors (and in any event within two (2) Business Days following any such determination) and may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 5(b)(iv) hereof. The Debtors hereby acknowledge and agree that, as of the Restructuring Support Effective Date, the Debtors’ entry into this Agreement does not violate, and is consistent with, the fiduciary duties of the Debtors’ directors, managers, or officers, as applicable.
