24


  

 

None of the Carve-Out, any Cash Collateral, the DIP Facility Loans, the DIP Collateral, or the Prepetition Collateral (as defined below) may be used to challenge the amount, validity, perfection, priority, or enforceability of, or assert any defense, counterclaim, or offset to, the DIP Facility Documentation or the Prepetition Loan Documents, or the security interests and liens securing any of the DIP Obligations or the Prepetition Term Loan, or to fund prosecution or assertion of any claims, or to otherwise litigate against the DIP Agent, any DIP Lender, the Prepetition Term Loan Agent, or any Prepetition Term Loan Lender; provided that up to $50,000 shall be made available to the Creditors’ Committee (if appointed) for investigation costs in respect of the stipulations contemplated below or otherwise set forth in the Financing Orders.

Estate Professional Fees:    Financing Orders to include language confirming that nothing in such orders or otherwise shall be construed as consent to the allowance of any fees, expenses, reimbursement or compensation sought by any professional retained by the Debtors or any Creditors’ Committee, or shall affect the right of any party in interest, including any DIP Lender or the DIP Agent, to object to the allowance and payment of any such fees, expenses, reimbursement or compensation.
Section 506(c) Waiver:    The Final Order shall include a ruling that, except to the extent of the Carve-Out, no expenses of administration of the Cases or any future proceeding that may result therefrom, including liquidation in bankruptcy or other proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, shall be charged against or recovered from any collateral pursuant to section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar principle of law, without the prior written consent of the Required DIP Lenders, and no such consent shall be implied from any other action, inaction, or acquiescence by the Required DIP Lenders.
No Marshaling:    The Final Order shall include a ruling that the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Prepetition Term Loan Agent, and the Prepetition Term Loan Lenders may exercise all remedies available under the DIP Facility Documentation and Prepetition Loan Documents, in a manner consistent with the Financing Orders, without any requirement first to look to exercise any of its or their rights against any particular collateral or party or to exhaust any remedies available to it or them against any particular collateral or party or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of such obligations or to elect any other remedy. The Final Order shall include a ruling that in no event shall any of the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Prepetition Term Loan Agent or the Prepetition Term Loan Lenders be subject to the equitable doctrine of “marshaling” or any other similar doctrine with respect to the collateral securing the DIP Facility Loans or the Prepetition Term Loan.

 

25


Section 552(b):   

The Final Order shall include a ruling that the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Prepetition Term Loan Agent and the Prepetition Term Loan Lenders are entitled to all of the rights and benefits of section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the “equities of the case” exception under sections 552(b)(i) and (ii) of the Bankruptcy Code shall not apply to such parties with respect to the proceeds, products, rents, issues or profits of any of their collateral, and no expenses of administration of the Chapter 11 Cases or any future proceeding that may result therefrom, including liquidation in bankruptcy or other proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, may be charged against proceeds, product, offspring or profits from any of the collateral under section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

Furthermore, the Final Order shall include a ruling that the Debtors and their estates shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived and have agreed not to assert any claim or right under sections 552 or 726 of the Bankruptcy Code to avoid the imposition of the liens of the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Prepetition Term Loan Agent or the Prepetition Term Loan Lenders on any property acquired by any of the Debtors or any of their estates or to seek to surcharge any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preservation, protection or enhancement of, or realization by, the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Prepetition Term Loan Agent or the Prepetition Term Loan Lenders upon the DIP Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral, as applicable.

No Priming or Pari Passu Liens:    No order shall be entered authorizing or approving any liens or encumbrances on the DIP Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral, as applicable, senior to or pari passu with the liens of the Prepetition Term Loan Agent for the benefit of the Prepetition Term Loan Lenders, or the DIP Agent for the benefit of the DIP Lenders other than as otherwise contemplated herein.

26


   proceeds thereof, subject only to the DIP Liens, the Permitted Liens, and the Carve-Out, and (iii) that the Prepetition Collateral is declining in value on a daily basis as the result of the Debtors’ business operations, including current levels of resource extraction, capital expenditure, and cash flow. The Debtors shall provide a full release to the Prepetition Term Loan Agent and the Prepetition Term Loan Lenders (and their related parties and affiliates), which would not bind the Creditors’ Committee or other party in interest until the expiration of the period described in the paragraph below titled “Challenge Period”.
Challenge Period:   

The Financing Orders shall establish a deadline that (i) in the case of a Creditors’ Committee, is no earlier than 45 days after the appointment of such committee, but in any event is within 75 days of the Petition Date, or (ii) in the case of any other party in interest, is within 75 days of the Petition Date, by which any Creditors’ Committee, or any creditor or other party-in-interest (in any case, which has obtained the requisite standing) must commence an adversary proceeding, if at all, against the Prepetition Term Loan Agent or the Prepetition Term Loan Lenders for the purpose of challenging the validity, extent, priority, perfection and enforceability of the prepetition secured debt under the Prepetition Credit Agreement or the other Prepetition Loan Documents, or the liens, claims and security interests in the Prepetition Collateral in favor of the Prepetition Term Loan Agent or the Prepetition Term Loan Lenders or otherwise asserting any claims or causes of action against the Prepetition Term Loan Agent or such Prepetition Term Loan Lenders on behalf of the Debtors’ estates; provided, however, that nothing contained in this DIP Term Sheet, the DIP Facility Documentation or the Financing Orders shall be deemed to confer standing on any Creditors’ Committee or any other party in interest to commence such an adversary proceeding. If such an adversary proceeding is not commenced within such period, then the Prepetition Term Loan Agent and the Prepetition Term Loan Lenders shall automatically receive full waivers and releases provided in the Financing Orders and the liens of the Prepetition Term Loan Agent on behalf of the Prepetition Term Loan Lenders shall be valid, perfected, enforceable and unavoidable without any further action by the Prepetition Term Loan Agent or Prepetition Term Loan Lenders under the terms of the Financing Orders.

 

None of the Carve-Out, any Cash Collateral, the DIP Facility Loans, the DIP Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral, may be used to challenge the amount, validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of, or assert any defense, counterclaim or offset to the Prepetition Loan Documents, or the security interests and liens securing any of the Prepetition Obligations, or to fund prosecution or assertion of any claims, or to otherwise litigate against the Prepetition Term Loan Agent or any Prepetition Term Loan Lender; provided that up to $50,000 shall be made available to the Creditors’ Committee (if appointed) for investigation costs in respect of the stipulations contemplated below or otherwise set forth in the Financing Orders.

In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any of the Debtors, any of their respective directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.
