B. To induce OCM to consent to the Restructuring, to contribute its membership interests in IBHL and IBHL II to the SPE and to enter into the operating agreement of the SPE dated as of November 3, 2011, as the same may be amended, modified or restated from time to time (the SPE Operating Agreement), CCIB and Cetus have agreed to provide OCM with the rights set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
NEGATIVE COVENANTS
Section 1.1 Indebtedness. Without the prior written consent of the holders of at least 50% of the Series A Preferred Units (as defined in the SPE Operating Agreement) then held beneficially and of record by OCM and all Permitted Transferees (as defined in Section 1.4) and subject to Section 2.1, CCIB shall not, and shall not permit any direct or indirect Subsidiary to, create, incur, assume or permit to exist any Indebtedness other than Permitted Indebtedness, including, without limitation, through the use of any direct or indirect Subsidiary of CCIB.
Section 1.2 No Amendments. The terms of any Indebtedness existing as of the date of this Agreement or incurred in connection with the provisions hereof may not be amended, modified or supplemented unless such amended, modified or supplemented terms are at market rates and on other customary terms as reasonably determined by the Board of Directors of CCIB.
Section 1.3 Equity Prohibition. Without the prior written consent of the holders of more than 50% of the Series A Preferred Units then held by OCM and/or any Permitted Transferee (as defined in Section 1.4), CCIB will not:
(a) Create or authorize the creation of any additional class or series of shares of stock that ranks senior to the CCIB Common Stock as to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of CCIB, or increase the authorized amount of shares of CCIB Series A Preferred Stock, par value $.01 per share (Series A Preferred Stock), or create or authorize any obligation or security convertible into shares of stock that ranks senior to the CCIB Common Stock as to the distribution of assets on the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of CCIB, whether any such creation, authorization or increase shall be by means of amendment to the CCIB Certificate of Incorporation (as defined below) or by merger, consolidation or otherwise;
(b) Amend the Certificate of Incorporation of CCIB in any manner that would have the effect of making any of the rights, privileges, preferences or limitations of any of the terms of the CCIB Series A Preferred Stock more favorable to the holders thereof than such rights, privileges, preferences or limitations are as of the date hereof, including, without limitation, any amendment which would have the effect of increasing the voting rights of the Series A Preferred Stock or increasing the amount of the Series A Preferred Liquidation Amount (as defined in the CCIB Certificate of Incorporation), whether any such rights, privileges, preferences or limitations shall be by means of amendment to the CCIB Certificate of Incorporation or by merger, consolidation or otherwise; or
(c) Take any action that would reasonably be expected to cause any of the prohibited actions listed in clauses (a) and (b) above, including, without limitation, through the use of any direct or indirect Subsidiary of CCIB.
Section 1.4 Limited Assignment of Rights. The rights of OCM set forth in Sections 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 above may be assigned, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by OCM only to a Permitted Transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, the conversion of OCM from a corporation to a limited liability company or other entity shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of this Section.
ARTICLE II
RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL
Section 2.1 Right of First Refusal. For so long as OCM and/or any Permitted Transferee (collectively, the Series A Holders) holds beneficially and of record any Series A Preferred Units and subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2.1, if CCIB or any of its direct or indirect Subsidiaries intends to incur any ROFR Indebtedness, then CCIB shall, not less than 15 Business Days prior to incurring or permitting the incurrence of such ROFR Indebtedness, offer, by notice describing the proposed terms of the ROFR Indebtedness (a Proposal Notice), to each of the Series A Holders the right to provide all or a portion of such Indebtedness on terms no less favorable than as described in the Proposal Notice; provided, however, if (x) such ROFR Indebtedness is provided by a Third Party and the Series A Holders
2
collectively elect to provide at least 75% of such ROFR Indebtedness pursuant to the terms hereof, then such Series A Holders will be obligated to provide 100% of such ROFR Indebtedness pursuant to the terms set forth in the Proposal Notice, (y) if more than one Series A Holder elects to provide any of such ROFR Indebtedness, all consents or waivers under, and any modifications, amendments, or restatements of, such ROFR Indebtedness may be given or approved by any Series A Holder(s) that provide(s) at least a majority of such ROFR Indebtedness and (z) if the Series A Holder(s) provide less than all of such ROFR Indebtedness, and the Board of Directors of CCIB requests that it do so, the Series A Holder(s) providing such portion of the ROFR Indebtedness will agree that all consents or waivers under, and any modifications, amendments, or restatements of, such ROFR Indebtedness will require the approval of any third party providing the balance of such ROFR Indebtedness.
(a) In order to exercise its rights hereunder, the Series A Holders must deliver a written notice to CCIB describing its election hereunder within 10 Business Days after receipt of the Proposal Notice from CCIB, and provide such ROFR Indebtedness on substantially the terms contained in such Proposal Notice within 10 Business Days thereafter.
(b) If more than one of the Series A Holders elects to provide the ROFR Indebtedness subject to a Proposal Notice, such ROFR Indebtedness will be provided by such Series A Holders on a pro rata basis, based on the number of Series A Preferred Units owned by each such Holder, or in such amounts as the Series A Holders otherwise unanimously agree.
(c) If all of the Series A Holders fail, within either of such 10 Business Day periods, to either elect to provide, or close on providing, such ROFR Indebtedness, as the case may be, then CCIB shall have 90 days thereafter to incur or permit the incurrence of the ROFR Indebtedness, upon general terms not materially more favorable to the lender than those specified in the Proposal Notice.
Section 2.2 Limited Assignment of Rights. The rights of OCM set forth in Section 2.1 may be assigned, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by OCM only to a Permitted Transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, the conversion of OCM from a corporation to a limited liability company or other entity shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of this Section.
ARTICLE III
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 3.1 Duration of Agreements. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the rights and benefits afforded to OCM or any Permitted Transferee hereunder will terminate immediately, and without the need for any further action by any party hereto, at such time as OCM and/or such Permitted Transferees cease to hold beneficially and of record any Series A Preferred Units.
