Subject to the payment of any prepayment premium as required under Section 2.03(d) and any other fees or amounts payable hereunder at such time, the Borrower may, upon notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, voluntarily prepay the Loans, in whole or in part; provided, that, (i) such notice must be received not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the date of prepayment, (ii) any such prepayment shall only be made on a Business Day and (iii) any such prepayment shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding). Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein; provided, that, a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower under this Section 2.03(a) may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities or the closing of another transaction, the proceeds of which will be used to prepay any outstanding Loans, in which case such prepayment may be conditional upon the effectiveness of such other credit facilities or the closing of such other transaction. Any prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) shall be accompanied by (x) all accrued interest on the principal amount of the Loans prepaid, (y) the prepayment premium required under Section 2.03(d) and (z) all fees, costs, expenses, indemnities and other amounts due and payable hereunder at the time of prepayment. Each such prepayment shall be applied (A) with respect to any such prepayment on or prior to March 31, 2025, first, to outstanding Term C Loans (if any), second, to outstanding Term B Loans (if any), and third, to outstanding Term A Loans (if any) and (B) with respect to any such prepayment after March 31, 2025, first, to outstanding Term C Loans (if any), second, to outstanding Term B Loans (if any), and third, to outstanding Term A Loans (if any), and to the principal repayment installments of each thereof in inverse order of when due. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant Facilities.

(i) Dispositions and Involuntary Dispositions. (A) The Borrower shall promptly (and in any event, within ten (10) Business Days) prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds of all Dispositions (other than Dispositions constituting Permitted Ex-US Licenses) and Involuntary Dispositions received by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary; provided, that, such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied (x) until the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds derived from all such Dispositions and Involuntary Dispositions during the term of this Agreement is equal to or greater than $1,000,000 (and then only in excess of such amount) and (y) if, at the election of the Borrower, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary reinvests such Net Cash Proceeds in Eligible Assets within two hundred and seventy (270) days of the date of such Disposition or Involuntary Disposition. Any prepayment pursuant to this clause (i)(A) shall be applied as set forth in clause (iv) below.

 

37


(B) The Borrower shall promptly (and in any event, within ten (10) Business Days) prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Net Cash Proceeds of all Permitted Ex-US Licenses received by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary; provided, that, such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied (x) until the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds derived from all such Permitted Ex-US Licenses during the term of this Agreement is equal to or greater than $1,000,000 (and then only in excess of such amount) and (y) any Lender, at its option, may elect not to accept such prepayment as provided below. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any event giving rise to a prepayment under this clause (B) at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date of such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify the date of such prepayment and provide a reasonably detailed calculation of the amount of such prepayment that is required to be made under this clause (B) (the “Permitted Ex-US License Prepayment Amount”). The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the contents of any such prepayment notice so received from the Borrower, including the date on which such prepayment is to be made by the Borrower (the “Permitted Ex-US License Prepayment Date”). Any Lender may decline to accept all or any portion of its share of any such prepayment (any such Lender, a “Declining Lender”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent no later than five (5) Business Days after the date of such Lender’s receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent regarding such prepayment. If any Lender does not give a notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to such fifth (5th) Business Day informing the Administrative Agent that it declines to accept the applicable prepayment, then such Lender will be deemed to have accepted such prepayment. On any Permitted Ex-US License Prepayment Date, an amount equal to the Permitted Ex-US License Prepayment Amount minus the portion thereof allocable to Declining Lenders, in each case for such Permitted Ex-US License Prepayment Date, shall be paid to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and applied by the Administrative Agent ratably to prepay the Loans owing to Lenders (other than Declining Lenders) in the manner described in clause (iv) for such prepayment.

The Borrower shall promptly (and, in any event, within ten (10) Business Days) upon the receipt by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Extraordinary Receipt, prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, that, such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied (x) until the aggregate amount of Net Cash Proceeds derived from all such Extraordinary Receipts during the term of this Agreement is equal to or greater than $1,000,000 (and then only in excess of such amount) and (y) if, at the election of the Borrower, such Loan Party or such Subsidiary reinvests such Net Cash Proceeds in Eligible Assets within two hundred and seventy (270) days of the date of such receipt. Any prepayment pursuant to this clause (ii) shall be applied as set forth in clause (iv) below.

(iii) Debt Issuance. The Borrower shall promptly (and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days) upon the receipt by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Debt Issuance, prepay the Loans in an aggregate amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds. Any prepayment pursuant to this clause (iii) shall be applied as set forth in clause (iv) below.

All payments under this Section 2.03(b) shall be applied first to all fees, costs, expenses, indemnities and other amounts due and payable hereunder, then proportionately (based on the relation of such amounts to the total amount of the relevant payment under this Section 2.03(b)) to the payment or prepayment (as applicable) of the following amounts of the Loans: default interest, if any, prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d), accrued interest and principal. Each such prepayment shall be applied (A) with respect to any such prepayment on or prior to March 31, 2025, first, to outstanding Term C Loans (if any), second, to outstanding Term B Loans (if any), and third, to outstanding Term A Loans (if any) and (B) with respect to any such prepayment after March 31, 2025, first, to outstanding Term C Loans (if any), second, to outstanding Term B Loans (if any), and third, to outstanding Term A Loans (if any), and to the principal repayment installments of each thereof in inverse order of when due. Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant Facilities.

(c) Change of Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Borrower shall, at the direction of the Required Lenders, and may, at its option upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice from the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, prepay the Outstanding Amount of the Loans together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any fees owed in connection therewith plus the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) plus all other Obligations. Each such direction or notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Each prepayment under this Section 2.03(c) shall be applied to the Loans of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages in respect of each of the relevant Facilities.

(d) Prepayment Premiums. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if all or any portion of the Loans are prepaid, or required to be prepaid, pursuant to this Section 2.03, Article IX or otherwise, then, in all cases, the Borrower shall pay to the Lenders, for their respective ratable accounts, on the date on which such prepayment is paid or required to be paid, in addition to the other Obligations so prepaid or required to be prepaid, a prepayment premium equal to: (i) with respect to any prepayment paid or required to be paid on or prior to March 31, 2023, (A) in connection with a Takeover Change of Control, fifteen percent (15.00%) of the principal amount of the Loans prepaid or required to be prepaid and (B) other than in connection with a Takeover Change of Control, the Make-Whole Amount with respect to such prepayment, (ii) with respect to any prepayment paid or required to be paid after March 31, 2023 but on or prior to March 31, 2024, seven and one-half percent (7.50%) of the principal amount of the Loans prepaid or required to be prepaid, (iii) with respect to any prepayment paid or required to be paid after March 31, 2024 but on or prior to March 31, 2025, five percent (5.00%) of the principal amount of the Loans prepaid or required to be prepaid, (iv) with respect to any prepayment paid or required to be paid thereafter, two and one-half percent (2.50%) of the principal amount of the Loans prepaid or required to be prepaid.

(c) Paid-In-Kind Interest.

 

41


(i) Beginning with the Interest Payment Date occurring on June 30, 2021 and continuing through and including the Interest Payment Date occurring on March 31, 2025 (the “PIK Period”), so long as (x) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of any such Interest Payment Date and (y) the Borrower has not notified the Administrative Agent in writing prior to such Interest Payment Date that it intends to pay all interest due on such Interest Payment Date in cash, (A) a portion of the interest accruing on the Loans at a rate equal to the sum of (I) Three-Month LIBOR plus (II) seven percent (7.00%) per annum (the “PIK Period Cash Pay Interest”) shall be due and payable in cash in arrears on each such Interest Payment Date and (B) the portion of the interest accruing on the Loans in excess of the PIK Period Cash Pay Interest (such interest, the “PIK Period Paid-in-Kind Interest”) shall be due and payable on each such Interest Payment Date by adding such PIK Period Paid-in-Kind Interest to the outstanding principal amount of the applicable Loans on such Interest Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if prior to any Interest Payment Date occurring during the PIK Period the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent in writing that it intends to pay all interest due on such Interest Payment Date in cash or, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of any such Interest Payment Date, all interest accruing on the Loans shall be due and payable in cash in arrears on such Interest Payment Date.

(ii) Paid-in-Kind Interest Generally. Any and all such PIK Period Paid-in-Kind Interest so added to the principal amount of the Loans shall constitute and increase the principal amount of the Loans for all purposes under this Agreement, including without limitation, for purposes of calculating any prepayment premium under Section 2.03(d) and shall bear interest in accordance with this Section 2.06.

2.08 Computation of Interest.

All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which such Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Loan or such portion is paid.

2.09 Evidence of Debt.

The Loans made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing

 

42


with respect to the Obligations. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note, which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each such promissory note shall (i) in the case of the Term A Loans, be in the form of Exhibit B-1 (a “Term A Note”), (ii) in the case of the Term B Loans, be in the form of Exhibit B-2 (a “Term B Note”) and (iii) in the case of the Term C Loans, be in the form of Exhibit B-3 (a “Term C Note”).

2.10 Payments Generally.

(a) General. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Subject to Section 9.03, all payments of principal, interest, prepayment premiums and fees on the Loans and all other Obligations payable by any Loan Party under the Loan Documents shall be due, without any presentment thereof, directly to the Lenders, at the respective Lending Offices of the Lenders (or, at any time when there is at least one Lender that is not an Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Administrative Agent’s Office at which point the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office); provided, that, if at the time of any such payment a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s pro rata share of such payment shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent. The Loan Parties will make such payments in Dollars, in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date due, marked for attention as indicated, or in such other manner or to such other account in any United States bank as the Lenders may from time to time direct in writing. All payments received by the Lenders after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest.

(b) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).

(c) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner.

2.11 Sharing of Payments by Lenders.

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on its portion of any of the Loans or prepayment premium in connection therewith resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the Loans and accrued interest thereon and prepayment premium in connection therewith greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the portions of the Loans of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of, accrued interest on and prepayment premium in connection with their respective portions of the Loans and other amounts owing them; provided, that:

 

43


(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii) the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its portion of the Loans to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

2.12 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:

(i) Waivers and Amendment. The Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of “Required Lenders” and Section 11.01. Each Lender agrees to provide the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender with prompt written notice of such Lender becoming a Defaulting Lender.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or any other amount received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower

 

44


as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting 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 Loans in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of that Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative 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, that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided, that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

45


Loan Party hereunder is required in respect of any Indemnified Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such withholding or deduction and shall pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority and (iii) the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased by such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the applicable Recipient will equal the full amount such Recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction of Indemnified Taxes been required.

(e) Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered pursuant to this Section 3.01 expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such form or certification or promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of its inability to do so.

(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.01 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the 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 clause (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges 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 to the contrary in this clause (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (f) 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 tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such tax had never been paid. This paragraph 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) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

3.02 Increased Costs.

(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(ii) subject any Recipient to any taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes that are covered by Section 3.01(b) and (B) taxes that are excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes in Section 3.01(a)) on its loans, loan principal, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(iii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) affecting this Agreement;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), then, upon written demand of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

 

47


(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

(d) Reserves on Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Commitments or the funding of the Loans, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Commitment or Loan by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan; provided, that, the Borrower shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.

(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided, that, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such 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).

 

48


3.03 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02 or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.04, then at the request of the Borrower such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.04, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 3.03(a), the Borrower may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 11.13.

3.04 Illegality.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or to make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Borrowing, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Borrowing or to make Loans shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay the Loans immediately. Upon any such prepayment, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid and any applicable prepayment premium with respect thereto.

3.05 Three-Month LIBOR Unavailability Period.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Unavailability Period has commenced and is continuing, then, reasonably promptly after such determination, the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower notice thereof and the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace Three-Month LIBOR with an alternate benchmark rate (including any mathematical or other adjustments to the benchmark (if any) incorporated therein), giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar U.S. dollar denominated credit facilities for such alternative benchmarks (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Successor Rate”), together with any proposed LIBOR Successor Rate Conforming Changes and any such amendment that has been executed by the Borrower shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment. It is understood and agreed that, for all purposes of this Agreement, once commenced, a “LIBOR Unavailability Period” shall be deemed to exist and be continuing unless and until such amendment has become effective in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

49


During the continuance of any LIBOR Unavailability Period, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Loans with an Interest Rate calculated based on Three-Month LIBOR shall be suspended and the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of Loans with an Interest Rate calculated based on Three-Month LIBOR or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Loans with an Interest Rate calculated based on the Prime Rate.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, any definition of LIBOR Successor Rate shall provide that in no event shall such LIBOR Successor Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement.

3.06 Survival.

All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.

GUARANTY

4.01 The Guaranty.

Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Secured Party and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Loan Documents, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

4.02 Obligations Unconditional.

The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any law or regulation or other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrower or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full and the Commitments have expired or terminated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the following shall not alter or impair the liability of any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

 

50


(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents shall be done or omitted;

(c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or

(e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Secured Parties exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Loan Documents, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

4.03 Reinstatement.

The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any Secured Party, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Secured Parties on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

4.04 Certain Additional Waivers.

Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.02 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06.

 

51


4.05 Remedies.

The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Secured Parties may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.

4.06 Rights of Contribution.

The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other Guarantors as permitted under applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the obligations of such Guarantors under the Loan Documents and no Guarantor shall exercise such rights of contribution until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated.

4.07 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.

The guarantee in this Article IV is a guaranty of payment and not of collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all Obligations whenever arising.

91


9.02 Remedies Upon Event of Default.

If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

(a) declare the commitment of each Lender to make Loans to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated;

(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts (including any prepayment premium) owing or payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and

(c) exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

provided, however, that, upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of each Lender to make Loans shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and all interest and other amounts (including any prepayment premium) as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

If the Obligations are accelerated for any reason, the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) will also be due and payable as though such Obligations were voluntarily prepaid and any discount on the Loans shall be deemed earned in full and, in each case, shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) payable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender as the result of the early termination and the Borrower and the other Loan Parties agree that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) shall also be payable and any discount on the Loans shall be deemed earned in full, in each case, in the event that the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE BORROWER AND THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING PREPAYMENT PREMIUM AND ANY DISCOUNT ON THE LOANS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties expressly agree that (i) the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) and any discount on the Loans provided for herein is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) and any discount on the Loans shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower and the other Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) and any discount on the Loans, (iv) the Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph and (v) the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) and any discount on the Loans represent a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Lenders and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Lenders or profits lost by the Lenders as a result of any early termination. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties expressly acknowledge that their agreement to pay the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) and any discount on the Loans to the Lenders as herein described is a material inducement to the Lenders to make the Loans hereunder.

 

92


9.03 Application of Funds.

After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.02), any amounts received by any Lender or the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders) arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on and prepayment premium with respect to the Loans, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third held by them;

Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid principal of the Loans, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; and

Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.

ARTICLE X

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

10.01 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Madryn Health Partners, LP to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative 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 contracting parties.

 

93


(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

10.02 Rights as a Lender.

The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person 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 any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

10.03 Exculpatory Provisions.

The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b) shall not 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 Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided, that, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any 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 affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.

 

94


The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01 and Section 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, or a Lender.

The Administrative Agent shall not 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 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, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for 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 Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Loan Parties), 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.

10.05 Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the Facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative 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 non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

 

95


10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days advance notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and, thereafter, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, subject to the approval of the Borrower (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed if such successor is a commercial bank with a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000,000), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, been approved (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) by the Borrower or have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10.06 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. If no successor has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above.

10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.

Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other 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 Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other 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 Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

10.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Section 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

 

96


(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 11.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

10.09 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

(a) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of all unused Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any Involuntary Disposition or (iii) as approved in accordance with Section 11.01;

(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.01(i); and

(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10.09.

The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Loan Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

(ii) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Loan Document for any payment of principal (excluding mandatory prepayments), interest, prepayment premiums, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) or any scheduled or mandatory reduction of the Commitments hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender entitled to receive such payment or whose Commitments are to be reduced;

(iii) reduce the principal of, the rate of interest specified herein on or the prepayment premium specified herein on any Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender entitled to receive such payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; provided, however, that, only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Default Rate;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them 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 Administrative Agent in

accordance with Section 10.01 for the benefit of all the Secured Parties; provided, however, that, the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.11) or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that, if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.01 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.11, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

11.04 Expenses; Indemnity; and Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Loan Parties shall pay, promptly following written demand therefor, (i) all reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the Effective Date related to the sourcing, legal due diligence and legal documentation (including, without limitation, this Agreement and the other Investment Documents) for the transactions contemplated hereby (subject to Section 5.01(p) (it being understood and agreed that Section 5.01(p) shall in no event derogate from or diminish the obligations of the Loan Parties to pay fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates to the extent incurred after the Effective Date)), (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of one primary counsel for the Administrative Agent and its respective Affiliates and, if necessary, one local counsel in any relevant jurisdiction) (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the party affected by such conflict warns the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of one additional firm or counsel for all such affected parties taken as a whole), in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Investment Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) and (iii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent or any Lender), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Investment Documents, including its rights under this Section 11.04 or (B) in connection with the Loans made hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b) Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each 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 losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (but limited, in the case of legal counsel, to the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of one firm of counsel for the Indemnitees (taken as a whole), and, if necessary, one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction, in each case for all such Indemnitees (and, in the case of an actual or perceived conflict of interest where the Indemnitee affected by such conflict informs the Borrower of such conflict and thereafter retains its own counsel, of one additional firm of counsel (and one firm of local counsel in each appropriate jurisdiction) for all such

 

101


affected Indemnitees taken as a whole)), incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Borrower or any other Loan Party) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Investment Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Investment Documents, (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided, that, such indemnity shall not, (x) as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (A) 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 any Related Indemnified Party of such Indemnitee) or (B) result from a claim brought by any Loan Party against such Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (y) be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses arise solely from a dispute solely among Indemnitees (except when and to the extent that one of the Indemnitees party to such dispute was acting in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an agent or any similar role under this Agreement or any Loan Document) that does not involve any act or omission by the Borrower or any of its Affiliates. This clause (b) shall not apply with respect to taxes other than any taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-tax claim.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Loan Parties for any reason fail to pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 11.04 to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party thereof, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them based on such Lenders’ Applicable Percentages (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought); provided, further, that, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or against any Related Party thereof acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Loan Party shall assert, and each Loan Party hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)

 

102


arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Investment Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Investment Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section 11.04 shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section 11.04 and the indemnity provisions of Section 11.02(d) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.

11.05 Payments Set Aside.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Loan Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any 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 any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such 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 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 Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative 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 Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

11.06 Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender (other than any Defaulting Lender) and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 11.06, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 11.06 or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (e) of this Section 11.06 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (e) of this Section 11.06 and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

 

103


(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments under any Facility and the Loans at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Facility)); provided, 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 Lender’s Commitment with respect to any Facility and/or the Loans with respect to any Facility at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section 11.06 in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section 11.06, the aggregate amount of the applicable Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans with respect to such Facility of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned;

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section 11.06 and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any unfunded Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Facility, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender or (ii) any Loan to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund;

 

104


(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such information, including notice information, as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably require.

(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) or (C) to a natural Person.

(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting 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 Administrative 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 Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting 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 Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) of this Section 11.06, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the 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 Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.02, 3.04 and 11.04 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 Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section 11.06.

 

105


(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Lender as a Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided, that, (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 11.04(c) without regard to the existence of any participation.

Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, that, such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 11.01(a) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 3.04 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.01(c) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 11.06; provided, that, such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 3.02 and 11.13 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section 11.06; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.01 with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each 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 11.13 with respect to any Participant. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 11.08 as though it were a Lender; provided, that, such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an 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 Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided, that, no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register

 

106


(including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit 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 manifest error, and such 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. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(e) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and 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 will be instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) 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), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Investment Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Investment Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, 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 or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to a Loan Party and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Borrower, (i) to the members of its investment committee and its limited partners (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) or (j) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any 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 a Loan Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary; provided, that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is

 

107


clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. 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.

11.08 Set-off.

If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off 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 Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Lender different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that, in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 11.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative 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.

11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Investment Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and

 

108


understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

11.12 Severability.

If any provision of this Agreement or the other Investment 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 Investment Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.

11.13 Replacement of Lenders.

If the Borrower is entitled to replace a Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided, that:

(a) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of (x) the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (other than prepayment premium) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts) and (y) the prepayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) from the Borrower, as if such assignment was a prepayment of one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal amount of such assignor’s Loans on the effective date of such assignment;

 

109


(b) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.02 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter;

(c) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws; and

(d) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Lender’s failure to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Loan Document, the applicable replacement bank, financial institution or Fund consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided that the failure by such Non-Consenting Lender to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of such Non-Consenting Lender and the mandatory assignment of such Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitments and outstanding Loans pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Non-Consenting Lender of an Assignment and Assumption.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

“Warrant Coverage” means $[1,110,000/1,890,000]1 / $[370,000/630,000]2.

SECTION 2. TERM OF THE AGREEMENT.

Except as otherwise provided for herein, the term of this Agreement and the right to purchase Capital Stock as granted herein (the “Warrant”) shall commence on the Effective Date and shall be exercisable for a period ending seven years after the Effective Date.

SECTION 3. EXERCISE OF THE PURCHASE RIGHTS.

(a) Exercise. The purchase rights set forth in this Agreement are exercisable by the Warrantholder, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time, prior to the expiration of the term set forth in Section 2, by tendering to the Company at its principal office a notice of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Notice of Exercise”), duly completed and executed. Promptly upon receipt of the Notice of Exercise and the payment of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms set forth below, and in no event later than three business days thereafter, the Company shall issue to the Warrantholder a certificate for the number of shares of Capital Stock purchased and shall execute the acknowledgment of exercise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II (the “Acknowledgment of Exercise”) indicating the number of shares or the amount of the Warrant Coverage which remain subject to future exercises, if any.

The Purchase Price may be paid at the Warrantholder’s election either (a) by cash or check, or (b) by surrender of all or a portion of the Warrant for shares of Capital Stock to be exercised under this Warrant and, if applicable, an amended Warrant representing the remaining number of shares or the amount of the Warrant Coverage purchasable hereunder, as determined below (“Net Issuance”). If the Warrantholder elects the Net Issuance method, the Company will issue Capital Stock in accordance with the following formula:

 

      

X=

   Y(A-B)
     A

 

Where:    X    =    the number of shares of Capital Stock to be issued to the Warrantholder.
   Y    =    the number of shares of Capital Stock requested to be exercised under this Warrant (inclusive of shares of Capital Stock surrendered to the Company in payment of the aggregate Exercise Price in connection with a Net Issuance).
   A    =    the fair market value of one share of Capital Stock at the time of issuance of such shares
         of Capital Stock.
   B=    the Exercise Price.

For purposes of the above calculation, if the Common Stock is then traded or quoted on a nationally recognized securities exchange, inter-dealer quotation system or over-the-counter market (a “Trading Market”) and this Warrant is then exercisable for Common Stock, the fair market value of a share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of Common Stock reported for the business day immediately before the date on which the Warrantholder delivers the Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company. If the Common Stock is then traded in a Trading Market and this Warrant is then exercisable for Preferred Stock, the fair market value of a share shall be the closing price or last sale price of a share of the Common Stock reported for the business day immediately before the date on which the Warrantholder delivers the Warrant together with its Notice of Exercise to the Company multiplied by the number of shares of the Common Stock into which a share of such Preferred Stock is then convertible. If the Common Stock is not traded in a Trading Market, the Company’s Board of Directors shall determine the fair market value of a share in its reasonable good faith judgment taking into account the independent appraisal of the fair market value of the Capital Stock as of the most recent fiscal quarter end. Notwithstanding the forgoing, if the determination of fair market value per share is in connection with (a) a Merger Event, then the fair

NTD: Split for the Effective Date Warrants.

2 

NTD: Split for the Additional Term B Warrants and Additional Term C Warrants.

 

3


market value per share shall be the value to be realized in such pending transaction per share of applicable Capital Stock (including any contingent consideration receivable in connection therewith), (b) a SPAC Transaction, then the fair market value per share shall be the highest price per share of the common stock of the SPAC that becomes the parent or the successor of the Company that is offered to other investors (including the Company’s existing stockholders or other investors participating in any PIPE transaction in connection with such SPAC Transaction) in the SPAC Transaction, or (c) an Initial Public Offering, and if the Company’s registration statement reflecting such public offering has been declared effective by the SEC, then the fair market value per share shall be the initial “Price to Public” per share specified in the final prospectus with respect to the offering.    

Upon partial exercise by either cash or Net Issuance, the Company shall promptly issue an amended Agreement representing the remaining amount of the Warrant Coverage or number of shares and/or other securities purchasable hereunder. All other terms and conditions of such amended Agreement shall be identical to those contained herein, including, but not limited to the Effective Date hereof.

(b) Exercise Prior to Expiration. To the extent this Warrant is not previously exercised as to all shares of Capital Stock subject hereto, and if the fair market value of one share of the Capital Stock is greater than the Exercise Price then in effect, this Warrant shall be deemed automatically exercised by a Net Issuance pursuant to Section 3(a) (even if not surrendered) immediately before its expiration. For purposes of such automatic exercise, the fair market value of one share of the Capital Stock upon such expiration shall be determined pursuant to Section 3(a). To the extent this Warrant or any portion thereof is deemed automatically exercised pursuant to this Section 3(b), the Company agrees to promptly notify the Warrantholder of the number of shares of Capital Stock, if any, the Warrantholder is to receive by reason of such automatic exercise.

SECTION 4. RESERVATION OF SHARES.

During the term of this Agreement, the Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Capital Stock to provide for the exercise of the rights to purchase Capital Stock as provided for herein, and shall have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to provide for the conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock issuable hereunder.

SECTION 5. NO FRACTIONAL SHARES OR SCRIP.

No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the exercise of this Warrant, but in lieu of such fractional shares the Company shall make a cash payment therefor upon the basis of the then fair market value of one share of Capital Stock.

SECTION 6. NO RIGHTS AS STOCKHOLDER.

This Agreement does not entitle the Warrantholder to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company prior to the exercise of the Warrant under this Agreement.

SECTION 7. WARRANTHOLDER REGISTRY.

The Company shall maintain a registry showing the name and address of the registered holder of this Agreement. The Warrantholder’s initial address, for purposes of such registry, is set forth below the Warrantholder’s signature on this Agreement. The Warrantholder may change such address by giving written notice of such changed address to the Company.

SECTION 8. ADJUSTMENT RIGHTS.

The Exercise Price and the number of shares of Capital Stock purchasable hereunder are subject to adjustment, as follows:

(a) Merger Event.    

(i) If at any time there shall be Merger Event prior to an Initial Public Offering, a SPAC Transaction or a Next Round, then the Warrantholder’s purchase rights pursuant to this Agreement shall be converted into the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number

 

4


of shares of the New Series C-1 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock equal to the Warrant Coverage divided by the Exercise Price.

(ii) As a part of a Merger Event at any time, lawful provision shall be made so that the Warrantholder shall thereafter be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Preferred Stock or other securities or property (collectively, “Reference Property”) that the Warrantholder would have received in connection with such Merger Event if Warrantholder had exercised this Warrant immediately prior to the Merger Event. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Company’s Board of Directors and reasonably acceptable to the Warrantholder) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Agreement with respect to the rights and interests of the Warrantholder after the Merger Event to the end that the provisions of this Agreement (including adjustments to ensure that the provisions of this Section 8 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to the purchase rights under this Agreement in relation to any Reference Property thereafter acquirable upon exercise of such purchase rights) shall continue to be applicable in their entirety, and to the greatest extent possible.

(iii) Without limiting the foregoing, in connection with any Merger Event, upon the closing thereof, the successor or surviving entity shall assume the obligations of this Agreement; provided that the foregoing assumption requirement shall not apply if the consideration to be paid for or in respect of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock in such Merger Event consists solely of cash and/or Marketable Securities (a “Liquid Sale”), in which case this Warrant shall, upon the closing of such Liquid Sale, automatically and without further action on the part of any party or other person, represent the right to receive, in lieu of the shares of Capital Stock that are issuable hereunder as of immediately prior to the closing of such Liquid Sale, the consideration payable on or in respect of such shares of Capital Stock, or other capital stock of the Company for which this Warrant is then exercisable, in such Liquid Sale less the Purchase Price for all such shares of Capital Stock, such consideration to include both the consideration payable at the closing of such Liquid Sale and any deferred consideration payable on or in respect of such shares of Capital Stock thereafter, if any, including, but not limited to, payments of amounts deposited at such closing into escrow and payments in the nature of earn-outs, milestone payments or other performance-based payments, and such consideration shall become payable to the Warrantholder as and when it is paid to the holders of the outstanding shares of Capital Stock (such aggregate consideration, the “Aggregate Liquid Sale Consideration”); provided, further, that in connection with a Liquid Sale where the Aggregate Liquid Sale Consideration would be less than the aggregate Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the consummation of such Liquid Sale, then this Agreement will automatically expire effective as of immediately prior to the consummation of such Liquid Sale. In connection with a Merger Event and upon the Warrantholder’s written election to the Company, the Company shall cause this Agreement to be exchanged for the consideration that the Warrantholder would have received if the Warrantholder had chosen to exercise its right to have shares issued pursuant to the Net Issuance provisions of this Agreement without actually exercising such right, acquiring such shares and exchanging such shares for such consideration. The provisions of this Section 8(a) shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.

(b) Initial Public Offering. In the event of an Initial Public Offering, the Warrantholder’s purchase rights pursuant to this Agreement shall be converted into the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Warrant Coverage divided by the Exercise Price.    

(c) SPAC Transaction. In the event of a SPAC Transaction, the Warrantholder’s purchase rights pursuant to this Agreement shall be converted into the right to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant, the number of shares of common stock of the SPAC that becomes the parent or the successor of the Company equal to the Warrant Coverage divided by the Exercise Price. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of such SPAC and as reasonably satisfactory to the Warrantholder) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Warrantholder after such SPAC Transaction, to the end that the provisions of this Warrant after such SPAC Transaction (including adjustments to ensure that the provisions of this Section 8 shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as possible, to the purchase rights under this Agreement in relation to shares of common stock of such SPAC thereafter acquirable upon exercise of such

 

5


purchase rights) shall continue to be applicable in their entirety, and to the greatest extent possible. The Company shall not effect any such SPAC Transaction unless the relevant SPAC shall agree to assume, prior to or simultaneously with the consummation thereof, (i) the obligation to deliver to the Warrantholder, such shares of common stock of such SPAC as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, the Warrantholder may be entitled to acquire pursuant to the exercise of this Warrant, and (ii) the other obligations of the Company under this Warrant.

(d) Reclassification of Shares. Except for a Merger Event, an Initial Public Offering and a SPAC Transaction subject to Sections 8(a), 8(b), 8(c) and 8(h), if the Company at any time shall, by combination, reclassification, exchange, conversion or subdivision of securities or otherwise, change any of the securities as to which purchase rights under this Agreement exist into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes, this Agreement shall thereafter represent the right to acquire such number and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the securities which were subject to the purchase rights under this Agreement immediately prior to such combination, reclassification, exchange, conversion, subdivision or other change. The provisions of this Section 8(d) shall similarly apply to any successive combination, reclassification, exchange, conversion, subdivision or other change.

(e) Subdivision or Combination of Shares. If the Company at any time shall combine or subdivide its Capital Stock, (i) in the case of a subdivision, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately decreased, or (ii) in the case of a combination, the Exercise Price shall be proportionately increased.

(f) Dividends. If the Company at any time while this Agreement is outstanding and unexpired shall:

(i) pay a dividend with respect to the Capital Stock payable in Capital Stock, then the Exercise Price shall be adjusted, from and after the date of determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution, to that price determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such date of determination by a fraction (A) the numerator of which shall be the total number of shares of Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to such dividend or distribution, and (B) the denominator of which shall be the total number of shares of Capital Stock outstanding immediately after such dividend or distribution; or

(ii) make any other dividend or distribution with respect to Capital Stock (or stock into which the Capital Stock is convertible), except any dividend or distribution specifically provided for in any other clause of this Section 8, then, in each such case, provision shall be made by the Company such that the Warrantholder shall receive upon exercise or conversion of this Warrant a proportionate share of any such dividend or distribution as though it were the holder of the Capital Stock (or other stock for which the Capital Stock is convertible) as of the record date fixed for the determination of the stockholders of the Company entitled to receive such dividend or distribution.

(g) Antidilution Rights. Additional antidilution rights applicable to the Preferred Stock purchasable hereunder, if applicable, are as set forth in the Charter and shall be applicable with respect to the Preferred Stock issuable hereunder (for the avoidance of doubt, any waivers of antidilution adjustments with respect to the Preferred Stock effected from time to time in accordance with the terms of the Charter shall be applicable with respect to the Preferred Stock issuable hereunder). The Company shall promptly provide the Warrantholder with any restatement, amendment, modification or waiver of the Charter applicable to the Preferred Stock or any other securities for which this Warrant shall then be exercisable; provided, that no such amendment, modification or waiver shall impair or reduce the antidilution rights applicable to the Preferred Stock as of the Effective Date unless such amendment, modification or waiver applies to all then outstanding shares of Preferred Stock in the same manner. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no duplicate antidilution adjustment pursuant to this subsection (g), the foregoing subsection (f) and the Charter.

(h) Notice of Adjustments. If: (i) the Company shall declare any dividend or distribution upon its stock, whether in stock, cash, property or other securities (including rights to acquire securities other than pursuant to contractual rights under the Rights Agreement (as defined below), as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time); (ii) the Company shall effect any reclassification of the Preferred Stock or Common Stock; (iii)

 

6


the Company shall effect any recapitalization, subdivision or combination of Capital Stock or other capital reorganization; (iv) there shall be a Merger Event; (v) there shall be an Initial Public Offering; (vi) there shall be a SPAC Transaction; or (vii) there shall be any voluntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company; then, in connection with each such event, the Company shall send to the Warrantholder: (A) at least 15 days’ prior written notice of the date on which the books of the Company shall close or a record shall be taken for such dividend or distribution (specifying the date on which the holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled thereto) or for determining rights to vote in respect of such Merger Event, SPAC Transaction, dissolution, liquidation or winding up; (B) in the case of the matters referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above or any Merger Event, SPAC Transaction, or dissolution, liquidation or winding up, at least 15 days’ prior written notice of the date when the same shall take place (and specifying the date on which the holders of Capital Stock shall be entitled to exchange their Capital Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Merger Event, SPAC Transaction, dissolution, liquidation or winding up); and (C) in the case of an Initial Public Offering, the Company shall give the Warrantholder at least 15 days’ written notice prior to the effective date of the registration statement in connection therewith.

Each such written notice shall set forth, in reasonable detail, (i) the event requiring the notice, and (ii) if any adjustment is required to be made, (A) the amount of such adjustment, (B) the method by which such adjustment was calculated, (C) the adjusted Exercise Price (if the Exercise Price has been adjusted), and (D) the number of shares subject to purchase hereunder after giving effect to such adjustment, and shall be given in accordance with Section 14(e).

SECTION 9. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY.

(a) Reservation of Capital Stock. The Common Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is, and, if applicable, the Preferred Stock is or will be, as the case may be, upon exercise of the Warrantholder’s rights, duly and validly reserved and, when issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and will be free of any taxes, liens, charges or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever; provided, that the Capital Stock issuable pursuant to this Agreement may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws and pursuant to any agreements, including the Stockholder Agreements (as defined below), that the Warrantholder may become a party to in connection with such exercise. The Company has made available to the Warrantholder true, correct and complete copies of that certain Eleventh Amended and Restated Investors’ Rights Agreement by and among the Company and the other parties thereto, as amended (the “Rights Agreement”), that certain Tenth Amended and Restated Voting, Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement by and among the Company and the other parties thereto, as amended (the “ROFR Agreement” and together with the Rights Agreement, the “Stockholder Agreements”), its Charter and current bylaws. The issuance of certificates for shares of Capital Stock upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Warrantholder for any issuance tax in respect thereof, or other cost incurred by the Company in connection with such exercise and the related issuance of shares of Capital Stock; provided, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer and the issuance and delivery of any certificate in a name other than that of the Warrantholder.

(b) Due Authority. The execution and delivery by the Company of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of the Company hereunder, including the issuance to the Warrantholder of the right to acquire the shares of Capital Stock and, in the case of Preferred Stock, the Common Stock into which it may be converted, have been (or, in the case of Preferred Stock other than the New Series C-1 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, have been or will be in connection with the Next Round) duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company. This Agreement: (i) does not violate the Charter or the Company’s current bylaws; (ii) does not contravene any law or governmental rule, regulation or order applicable to the Company; and (iii) does not and will not contravene any provision of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, mortgage, contract or other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of the Company, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

 

7


(c) Consents and Approvals. No consent or approval of, giving of notice to, registration with, or taking of any other action in respect of any state, federal or other governmental authority or agency is required with

respect to the execution, delivery and performance by the Company of its obligations under this Agreement, except for any filing required by applicable state securities law, which filings will be effective by the time required thereby.

(d) Issued Securities. All issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or any other securities of the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable. All outstanding shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock and any other securities were issued in full compliance with all federal and state securities laws. In addition, as of the date immediately preceding the date of this Agreement:

(i) The authorized capital of the Company consists of (A) 1,300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, of which 172,464,420 shares are issued and outstanding, (B) 111,556,618 shares of New Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, of which 111,556,618 shares are issued and outstanding and are convertible into an aggregate of 111,556,618 shares of Common Stock at $0.237 per share, (C) 114,541,708 shares of New Series A-1 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, of which 114,541,708 shares are issued and outstanding and are convertible into an aggregate of 114,541,708 shares of Common Stock at $0.237 per share, (D) 252,791,726 shares of New Series B Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, of which 252,791,726 shares are issued and outstanding and are convertible into an aggregate of 252,791,726 shares of Common Stock at $0.2247 per share; (E) 289,274,585 shares of New Series B-1 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, of which 231,419,667 shares are issued and outstanding and are convertible into an aggregate of 231,419,667 shares of Common Stock at $0.2247 per share; (F) 112,533,204 shares of New Series C Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, of which 14,043 shares are issued and outstanding and are convertible into an aggregate of 14,043 shares of Common Stock at $0.2696 per share; and (G) 54,380,742 shares of New Series C-1 Convertible Participating Preferred Stock, of which 21,496,661 shares are issued and outstanding and are convertible into an aggregate of 21,496,661 shares of Common Stock at $0.2696 per share.

(ii) The Company has reserved 153,909,611 shares of Common Stock for issuance under its Stock Option Plan(s), under which options to purchase 2,263,096 shares of Common Stock are outstanding. There are no other options, warrants, conversion privileges or, except as set forth in the ROFR Agreement, other rights presently outstanding to purchase or otherwise acquire any authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s capital stock or other securities of the Company.

(iii) No stockholder of the Company has preemptive rights to purchase new issuances of the Company’s capital stock under the Charter. Certain stockholders of the Company have preemptive rights to purchase new issuances of the Company’s capital stock or other securities under the ROFR Agreement.

(e) Registration Rights. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock issued and issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, or, if applicable, conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock issued and issuable upon exercise of this Warrant, shall have the “Piggyback” and S-3 registration rights pursuant to and subject to the obligations of the holders of registrable securities set forth in the Rights Agreement, as the same may be amended and/or restated from time to time, on a pari passu basis with the holders of outstanding shares of Preferred Stock who are parties thereto. The provisions set forth in the Rights Agreement relating to such registration rights in effect as of the Effective Date may not be amended, modified or waived without the prior written consent of the Warrantholder unless such amendment, modification or waiver affects the rights associated with the shares of Preferred Stock issued and issuable upon exercise hereof in substantially the same manner as such amendment, modification or waiver generally affects the rights associated with all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock whose holders are parties thereto.

(f) Other Commitments to Register Securities. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the Rights Agreement and outstanding warrants to purchase shares of capital stock of the Company, the Company is not, pursuant to the terms of any other agreement currently in existence, under any obligation to register under the Act any of its presently outstanding securities or any of its securities which may hereafter be issued.

(g) Exempt Transaction. Subject to the accuracy of the Warrantholder’s representations in Section 10, the issuance of the Capital Stock upon exercise of this Warrant, and, if applicable, the issuance of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, will each constitute a transaction exempt from (i) the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Act, in reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) thereof, and (ii) the qualification requirements of the applicable state securities laws.

 

8


(h) Financial Statements. Following the Effective Date, the Warrantholder shall be entitled to the same financial statements and inspection rights as a “Significant Holder” under Sections 2.4 and 2.5 of the Rights Agreement.

(i) Joinder. Upon the exercise of this Warrant (in whole or in part), the Warrantholder may elect, and the Company hereby agrees to cause the Warrantholder, to become a party to the Stockholder Agreements as a Holder or Preferred Stock Holder thereunder, as applicable, with such rights and obligations of the holders of the applicable Capital Stock thereunder.

(j) Certain Amendments. The Company shall not adopt any amendment or modification of the Charter or any Stockholder Agreement that would disproportionately, uniquely and adversely affect the Warrantholder (in its capacity solely as a holder of this Warrant) relative to the holders of the Capital Stock without written consent of the Warrantholder, it being understood that (i) the creation of any new series or class of Capital Stock and (ii) any amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of the Charter or any Stockholder Agreement that applies to all applicable parties to such applicable agreement in the same fashion shall not be deemed to disproportionately, uniquely and adversely affect the Warrantholder.

SECTION 10. REPRESENTATIONS AND COVENANTS OF THE WARRANTHOLDER.

This Agreement has been entered into by the Company in reliance upon the following representations and covenants of the Warrantholder:

(a) Investment Purpose. The right to acquire Capital Stock is being acquired for investment and not with a view to the sale or distribution of any part thereof, and the Warrantholder has no present intention of selling or engaging in any public distribution of such rights or the Capital Stock except pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Act.

(b) Private Issue. The Warrantholder understands (i) that the Capital Stock issuable upon exercise of this Warrant is not registered under the Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws on the ground that the issuance contemplated by this Agreement will be exempt from the registration and qualifications requirements thereof, and (ii) that the Company’s reliance on such exemption is predicated on the representations set forth in this Section 10.

(c) Financial Risk. The Warrantholder has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment, and has the ability to bear the economic risks of its investment.

(d) Risk of No Registration. The Warrantholder understands that if the Company does not register with the SEC pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934 Act, or file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act, or if a registration statement covering the securities under the Act is not in effect when it desires to sell (i) the rights to purchase Capital Stock pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) the Capital Stock issuable upon exercise of the right to purchase, it may be required to hold such securities for an indefinite period. The Warrantholder also understands that any sale of (A) its rights hereunder to purchase Preferred Stock or (B) Capital Stock issued or issuable hereunder which might be made by it in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Act may be made only in accordance with the terms and conditions of that Rule.

(e) Accredited Investor. The Warrantholder is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of the Securities and Exchange Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.

SECTION 11. TRANSFERS.

Subject to compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, this Agreement and all rights hereunder are transferable, in whole or in part, without charge to the holder hereof (except for transfer taxes) upon surrender of this Agreement properly endorsed. Each taker and holder of this Agreement, by taking or holding the same, consents and agrees that this Agreement, when endorsed in blank, shall be deemed negotiable, and that the holder hereof, when this Agreement shall have been so endorsed and its transfer recorded on the Company’s books, shall be treated by the Company and all other persons dealing with this Agreement as the absolute owner hereof for any purpose and as the person entitled to exercise the rights represented by this Agreement. The transfer of this Agreement shall be recorded on the books of the Company upon receipt by the Company of a notice of transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit III (the “Transfer Notice”), at its principal offices and the payment to the Company of all transfer taxes and other governmental charges imposed on such transfer. Until the Company receives such Transfer Notice, the Company may treat the registered owner hereof as the owner for all purposes.

SECTION 12. NO IMPAIRMENT.

The Company will not, by amendment of its Charters or Stockholder Agreements or through any reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, share exchange, dissolution or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant, including without limitation the adjustments required under Section 8 hereof, and will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to protect the rights of the Warrantholder against dilution or other impairment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant to the contrary (including by way of implication), subject to Section 9(a), the Company will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate so that the Company may validly and legally issue shares of the Capital Stock upon the exercise of this Warrant.

SECTION 13. MARKET STAND-OFF.

To the extent requested by the Company or an underwriter of securities of the Company, the Warrantholder and any permitted transferee thereof shall not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriters in an Initial Public Offering, offer, sell, make any short sale of, grant or sell any option for the purchase of, lend, pledge, otherwise transfer or dispose of (directly or indirectly), enter into any swap, hedging transaction or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership (whether any such transaction is described above or is to be settled by delivery of this Agreement, any securities issued upon exercise of this Agreement (collectively, the “Securities”) or other securities, in cash, or otherwise), any Securities or other shares of stock of the Company then owned by the Warrantholder or any transferee thereof, or enter into an agreement to do any of the foregoing, for up to 180 days following the effective date of the registration statement filed under the Act for the Initial Public Offering; provided that all officers and directors of the Company and all holders of at least 1% of the Company’s equity securities purchased from the Company (other than securities purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement in a registered public offering) are bound by and have entered into a similar agreement and the restriction on transfer has not been waived in whole or in part with respect to any such officers, directors or holders. For purposes of this paragraph, “Company” includes any wholly owned subsidiary of the Company into which the Company merges or consolidates. The Company may place restrictive legends on the certificates representing the Securities subject to this paragraph and may impose stop transfer instructions with respect to the Securities and such other shares of stock of the Warrantholder and any transferee thereof (and the shares or securities of every other person subject to the foregoing restriction) until the end of such period. The Warrantholder and any transferee thereof shall enter into any agreement reasonably required by the underwriters for the Initial Public Offering to implement the foregoing within any reasonable timeframe so requested. The underwriters for any Initial Public Offering are intended third party beneficiaries of this paragraph and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions of this paragraph as though they were parties hereto.

SECTION 14. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Effective Date. The provisions of this Agreement shall be construed and shall be given effect in all respects as if it had been executed and delivered by the Company on the date hereof. This Agreement shall be binding upon any successors or assigns of the Company.

 

10


(b) Remedies. In the event of any default hereunder, the non-defaulting party may proceed to protect and enforce its rights either by suit in equity and/or by action at law, including but not limited to an action for

damages as a result of any such default, and/or an action for specific performance for any default where the Warrantholder will not have an adequate remedy at law and where damages will not be readily ascertainable. The Company expressly agrees that it shall not oppose an application by the Warrantholder or any other person entitled to the benefit of this Agreement requiring specific performance of any or all provisions hereof or enjoining the Company from continuing to commit any such breach of this Agreement.

(c) Expenses; Indemnity; and Damage Waiver. In the event of any litigation, arbitration or court proceeding between the Company and Warrantholder relating hereto, the provisions of Section 11.04 of the Credit Agreement shall apply.

(d) Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable valid, legal and enforceable provision, which comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

(e) Notices. Except as otherwise provided herein, any notice, demand, request, consent, approval, declaration, service of process or other communication that is required, contemplated, or permitted under this Agreement or with respect to the subject matter hereof shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have been validly served, given, delivered, and received upon the earlier of: (i) the day of transmission by facsimile, email or hand delivery if transmission or delivery occurs on a business day at or before 5:00 pm in the time zone of the recipient, or, if transmission or delivery occurs on a non-business day or after such time, the first business day thereafter, or the first business day after deposit with an overnight express service or overnight mail delivery service; or (ii) the third (3rd) calendar day after deposit in the United States mails, with proper first class postage prepaid, and shall be addressed to the party to be notified as follows:

or to such other address as each party may designate for itself by like notice.

(f) Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof, and supersedes and replaces in their entirety any prior proposals, term sheets, letters, negotiations or other documents or agreements, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. None of the terms of this Agreement may be amended except by an instrument executed by each of the parties hereto.

(g) Headings. The various headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provisions hereof.

(h) No Strict Construction. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

(i) No Waiver. No omission or delay by the Warrantholder at any time to enforce any right or remedy reserved to it, or to require performance of any of the terms, covenants or provisions hereof by the Company at any time designated, shall be a waiver of any such right or remedy to which the Warrantholder is entitled, nor shall it in any way affect the right of the Warrantholder to enforce such provisions thereafter.

(j) Survival. All agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant hereto shall be for the benefit of the Warrantholder and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the expiration or other termination of this Agreement.

(k) Governing Law. This Agreement has been negotiated and delivered to Warrantholder in the State of New York, and shall have been accepted by the Warrantholder in the State of New York. Delivery of the Preferred Stock to the Warrantholder by the Company under this Agreement is due in the State of New York. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, excluding conflict of laws principles that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.

(l) Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. All judicial proceedings arising in or under or related to this Agreement may be brought in any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of New York. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each party hereto generally and unconditionally: (i) consents to personal jurisdiction in the State of New York; (ii) waives any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in the State of New York; (iii) agrees not to assert any defense based on lack of jurisdiction or venue in the aforesaid courts; and (iv) irrevocably agrees to be bound by any judgment rendered thereby in connection with this Agreement. Service of process on any party hereto in any action arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be effective if given in accordance with the requirements for notice set forth in Section 14(e), and shall be deemed effective and received as set forth in Section 14(e). Nothing herein shall affect the right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right of either party to bring proceedings in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

(m) Mutual Waiver of Jury Trial. Because disputes arising in connection with complex financial transactions are most quickly and economically resolved by an experienced and expert person and the parties wish applicable state and federal laws to apply (rather than arbitration rules), the parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE WARRANTHOLDER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CAUSE OF ACTION, CLAIM, CROSS-CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, THIRD PARTY CLAIM OR ANY OTHER CLAIM (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) ASSERTED BY THE COMPANY AGAINST THE WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE OR BY THE WARRANTHOLDER OR ITS ASSIGNEE AGAINST THE COMPANY. This waiver extends to all such Claims, including Claims that involve persons other than Company and the Warrantholder; Claims that arise out of or are in any way connected to the relationship between the Company and the Warrantholder; and any Claims for damages, breach of contract, specific performance, or any equitable or legal relief of any kind, arising out of this Agreement.

 

12


(n) Prejudgment Relief. In the event Claims are to be resolved by arbitration, either party may seek from a court of competent jurisdiction identified in Section 14(l), any prejudgment order, writ or other relief and have such prejudgment order, writ or other relief enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law notwithstanding that all Claims are otherwise subject to resolution by judicial reference.

(o) Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in any number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or other applicable law) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

FORM OF PERMITTED CONVERTIBLE NOTE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

(see attached)


SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT

THIS SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT, dated as of [___], 2021 (the “Agreement”), is by and among the undersigned individuals or entities who are holders of the Subordinated Notes (defined below) as of the date of this Agreement and any other individuals or entities who become holders of the Subordinated Notes hereafter and become a party to this Agreement by delivery of a signature page to this Agreement (each a “Subordinated Creditor” and collectively, the “Subordinated Creditors”), and MADRYN HEALTH PARTNERS, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, having an office at 140 E. 45th Street, 15th Floor, New York, NY 10017, in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders (defined below) (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”).

RECITALS:

A. Intuity Medical, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the Guarantors party thereto, the Lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent, entered into that certain Credit Agreement dated as of May 24, 2021 (as amended, restated, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

B. The Borrower has issued those certain unsecured subordinated convertible promissory notes (collectively, the “Subordinated Notes”) to the Subordinated Creditors.

C. In order to induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to consent to the Borrower’s issuance of the Subordinated Notes, the Subordinated Creditors have agreed to enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

Definitions

1.1 Certain Defined Terms. For the purposes hereof:

(a) “Senior Obligations” means (i) the principal amount of, and accrued interest (including, without limitation, any interest which accrues after the commencement of any case, proceeding or other action relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower) on any loans or extensions of credit made by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement and (ii) all other indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to the Lenders or the Administrative Agent now existing or hereafter incurred or created under or with respect to the Credit Agreement or pursuant to any other Loan Documents.

(b) “Subordinated Obligations” means (i) the principal amount of, and accrued interest (including, without limitation, any interest which accrues after the commencement of any case, proceeding or other action relating to the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower) on the loans or extensions of credit made by the Subordinated Creditors to the Borrower under the Subordinated Notes, (ii) all fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Subordinated Notes, and (iii) any and all guarantees of any of the foregoing.


1.2 Other Definitional Provisions. All capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE II

Terms of Subordination

2.1 Subordination. (a) The Subordinated Creditors agree that the Subordinated Obligations are expressly subordinated and junior in right of payment (as defined in subsection 2.1(b)) to all Senior Obligations.

(b) “Subordinated and junior in right of payment” shall mean that:

(i) Until such time as the Senior Obligations have been paid in full, all commitments of the Lenders have been terminated and any contingent obligations owing by the Borrower to the Lenders have been paid or cash collateralized to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent (collectively, “Paid-in-Full”), the Subordinated Creditors will not, without the express prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, take, demand or receive, and neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor will make, give or permit, directly or indirectly, by setoff, redemption, purchase or in any other manner, any payment on the whole or any part of the Subordinated Obligations. Nothing in the foregoing paragraph or this Agreement shall prohibit the Subordinated Creditors from converting all or any part of the Subordinated Obligations into equity securities of the Borrower in connection with the terms of the Subordinated Notes (a “Conversion Event”), and the parties acknowledge and agree that such Conversion Event is expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement so long as no cash payments are made to Subordinated Creditors, directly or indirectly, by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with such Conversion Event.

(ii) Until the date the Senior Obligations shall have been Paid-in-Full, the Subordinated Creditors shall not accelerate, declare to be immediately due and payable, enforce or take any action to enforce or collect, the Subordinated Obligations or any portion thereof or any security therefore without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 2.1(b)(ii) shall prevent the Subordinated Creditors from (a) delivering a default notice to the Borrower (provided that such notice does not accelerate the maturity of the Subordinated Obligations), (b) filing or voting a claim in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding involving the Borrower or its assets, (c) instituting or charging (without cash payment of the same) the default rate of interest on the Subordinated Obligations following the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default thereunder, or (d) consummating a Conversion Event, so long as no cash payments are made to Subordinated Creditors by or on behalf of Borrower in connection with such Conversion Event.

(iii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.1, in the event of any liquidation, termination, revocation or other winding-up of the Borrower, or in the event of any receivership, insolvency, reorganization or bankruptcy proceedings, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any proceeding by or against the Borrower for any relief under any bankruptcy,


reorganization or insolvency law or laws, federal or state, or any law, federal or state, relating to the relief of debtors, readjustment of indebtedness, reorganization, composition or extension of indebtedness, then, and in any such event, all Senior Obligations shall first be Paid in Full, before any payment or distribution is made in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, and any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including without limitation, proceeds of collateral for the Subordinated Obligations), which, but for the subordination provisions contained herein, would otherwise be payable or deliverable to the Subordinated Creditors upon or in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, shall instead be paid over or delivered to the Administrative Agent, and the Subordinated Creditors shall not receive any such payment or distribution or any benefit therefrom unless and until the Senior Obligations shall have been Paid-in-Full, other than in connection with a Conversion Event.

2.2 Payments Received by Subordinated Creditor. Should any payment or distribution or security, or the proceeds of any thereof, be collected or received by a Subordinated Creditor in respect of the Subordinated Obligations, when such collection or receipt is not expressly permitted hereunder, such Subordinated Creditor will forthwith turn over the same to the Administrative Agent in the form received (except for endorsement or assignment by such Subordinated Creditor when necessary) and, until so turned over, the same shall be held in trust by such Subordinated Creditor as the property of the Administrative Agent.

2.3 Subrogation. Subject to payment in full of the Senior Obligations, each Subordinated Creditor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Administrative Agent to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Borrower on the Senior Obligations.

ARTICLE III

Modification of Senior

Obligations; Reliance

3.1 Each Subordinated Creditor agrees that, without the necessity of any reservation of rights against such Subordinated Creditor, and without notice to or further assent by such Subordinated Creditor, (a) any demand for payment of any Senior Obligations may be continued, and the Senior Obligations or the liability of the Borrower or any other party upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guaranty therefor, or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered, or released and (b) the Credit Agreement and any document or instrument evidencing or governing the terms of any other Senior Obligations or any collateral security documents or guaranties or documents in connection with the Credit Agreement or the Senior Obligations may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent may deem advisable from time to time, and any collateral security at any time held by the Administrative Agent for the payment of any of the Senior Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released, in each case all without notice to or further assent by a Subordinated Creditor, which will remain bound under this Agreement, and all without impairing, abridging, releasing or affecting the subordination provided for herein, notwithstanding any such renewal, extension, modification, acceleration, compromise, amendment, supplement, termination, sale, exchange, waiver, surrender or release. Each Subordinated Creditor waives any and all notice of the creation, modification, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the Senior Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent upon this Agreement, and the Senior Obligations, and any of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred in reliance upon this Agreement, and all dealings between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, shall be deemed to have been consummated in reliance upon this Agreement. Each Subordinated Creditor waives notice of or proof of reliance on this Agreement and protest, demand for payment and notice of default.


ARTICLE IV

Modification of Subordinated Obligations

4.1 Until the Senior Obligations have been Paid-in-Full, no Subordinated Creditor will, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in each instance, (i) amend, modify, waive or supplement the terms of payment with respect to principal or interest on the Subordinated Obligations, (ii) release, compromise, adjust or settle any of the Subordinated Obligations, or (iii) accept any security interest, lien or mortgage on any assets or property of the Borrower or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, or of any officer or shareholder of such entity, as security for the Subordinated Obligations. If a lien is taken by a Subordinated Creditor in violation of this provision, the Administrative Agent shall be empowered to release such lien in its sole and absolute discretion and such Subordinated Creditor confers upon the Administrative Agent a power of attorney to release such liens, which power is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked at any time until after the Senior Obligations are Paid-in-Full.

ARTICLE V

Transfer of Subordinated Obligations

5.1 Until the Senior Obligations have been Paid-in-Full, or until any Transferee, as herein defined, shall have executed this Agreement or a joinder to this Agreement, no Subordinated Creditor may (a) sell, assign or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, the Subordinated Obligations held by such Subordinated Creditor or any interest therein to any other person or entity (a “Transferee”) or (b) create, incur or suffer to exist any security interest, lien, charge or other encumbrance whatsoever upon the Subordinated Obligations in favor of any Transferee.

ARTICLE VI

Miscellaneous

6.1 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising on the part of the Administrative Agent, from time to time, any rights, power and privileges under the Senior Obligations, or any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement and in any agreement relating to any of the Senior Obligations and all other agreements, instruments and documents referred to in any of the foregoing are cumulative and shall not be exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

6.2 Further Assurances. Each Subordinated Creditor agrees to execute and deliver such further documents and to do such other acts and things as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order fully to effect the purposes of this Agreement.


6.3 Governing Law; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such state, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Subordinated Creditor, and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.

6.4 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile, telecopy or other reproduction of this Agreement may be executed by one (1) or more parties hereto, and an executed copy of this Agreement may be delivered by one (1) or more parties hereto by facsimile or similar electronic transmission method pursuant to which the signature of or on behalf of such party can be seen, and such execution and delivery shall be considered valid, binding and effective for all purposes.

6.5 Waivers, Amendments, Etc. The subordination provisions contained herein are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their successors and assigns as holder from time to time of Senior Obligations and may not be rescinded or cancelled or modified in any way, nor, unless otherwise expressly provided for herein, may any provision of this Agreement be waived or changed without the express prior written consent thereto of the Required Lenders.
