In consideration of each Investor’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and acquiring New Securities thereunder and in addition to all of the Company’s and the Guarantors’ other obligations under the Transaction Documents, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall defend, protect, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and all of their stockholders, partners, members, officers, directors, employees and direct or indirect investors and any of the foregoing persons’ agents or other representatives (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages of any kind or nature, and expenses in connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including reasonable attorneys’ fees

 

38


and disbursements (the “Indemnified Liabilities”), imposed on, incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (a) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Company or any of the Guarantors in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (b) any breach of any covenant, agreement or obligation of the Company or any of the Guarantors contained in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or (c) any cause of action, suit, or claim brought or made against such Indemnitee by a third party (including for these purposes a derivative action brought on behalf of the Company or any Guarantor) and arising out of or resulting from (i) the execution, delivery, performance or enforcement of the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any transaction financed or to be financed in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, with the proceeds of the Transactions, or (iii) the status of such Investor as an investor in the Company or a Guarantor pursuant to the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; in each of the foregoing cases other than Indemnified Liabilities (x) resulting from a claim solely among the Indemnitees, and (y) with respect to an individual Investor, to the extent finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, or (ii) a material breach by such Investor of its obligations under this Agreement. To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company and the Guarantors may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities that is permissible under applicable law.

13. Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnitee of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under Section 12, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under Section 12 unless and to the extent such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any Indemnitee other than the indemnification obligation provided in Section 12. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the Indemnitee in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, retained by the Indemnitee or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the Indemnitee in an action, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ one separate counsel (in addition to one local counsel in each applicable jurisdiction, if needed), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel, if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Indemnitee and the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnitees that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent the Indemnitee within a reasonable time after notice of

 

39


the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the Indemnitee in writing to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitees, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitees are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and does not include any admission as to fault, culpability or failure to act on the part of any Indemnitee.

14. Termination. In the event that the Transactions shall not have occurred with respect to an Investor on or before March 7, 2023 due to the Company’s or such Investor’s failure to satisfy any of the conditions required to be satisfied by it in Section 9 (and the nonbreaching party’s failure to waive such unsatisfied condition(s)), the nonbreaching party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement with respect to such breaching party at the close of business on such date without liability of any party to any other party; provided, however, that the Company’s obligations under Sections 8(e) and Section 11 to the other party shall survive any such termination. This Agreement may be terminated in the absolute discretion of each of the Investors and as to such Investor on an individual basis, by notice to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and on or prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on the Principal Market or the over-the-counter market; (ii) trading of any securities issued or guaranteed by the Company or any of the Guarantors shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market; (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by federal or New York State authorities; or (iv) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any calamity or crisis, either within or outside the United States, that, in the good faith judgment of such Investor, is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the Transactions on the terms and in the manner contemplated by this Agreement. [Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any Other Agreement, in the event of a termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 14, each Other Agreement shall automatically terminate.]

15. Nature of Obligations and Rights of Investors.

(a) The respective obligations of each Investor and each Other Investor, as applicable, under this Agreement and each Other Agreement, as applicable, and the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor or any Other Investor, as applicable, and no Investor or Other Investor, as applicable, shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Investor or Other Investor, as applicable, under this Agreement or any Other Agreement, as applicable, or the other Transaction Documents. The failure or waiver of performance under this Agreement or any Other Agreement, as applicable, by any Investor or any Other Investor, as applicable, or on its or their own behalf, as applicable, does not excuse performance by any other Investor or any Other Investor, as applicable. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor or Other Investor, as applicable, pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors or Other Investors, as applicable, as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity,

 

40


or create a presumption that the Investors or Other Investors, as applicable, are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or any of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents, each Investor and each Other Investor, as applicable, shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of the Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Investor or Other Investor, as applicable, to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The decision of each Investor or Other Investor, as applicable, to acquire the New Securities in connection with the Transactions has been made by such Investor or such Other Investor, as applicable, independently of any other Investor or Other Investor, as applicable. Each Investor and each Other Investor acknowledges that no other Investor or Other Investor, as applicable, has acted as agent for such Investor or Other Investor, as applicable, in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Investor or Other Investor, as applicable, will be acting as agent of such Investor or Other Investor, as applicable, in connection with monitoring its investment in the New Securities, or enforcing its rights under this Agreement or any Other Agreement, as applicable, or any other Transaction Document. The Company acknowledges that each of the Investors and each of the Other Investors, as applicable, has been provided with the same New Notes Indenture (and Warrant provided therein) for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Investors and Other Investors and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Investor or Other Investor, as applicable.

(b) The Company acknowledges and agrees that (a) each Investor is acting at arm’s length from each other Investor with respect to this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; (b) no Investor will, by virtue of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, be or otherwise is an Affiliate of, or have any agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship with, the Company; (c) no Investor has not acted, or is or will be acting, as a financial advisor to, or fiduciary (or in any similar capacity) of, or has any fiduciary or similar duty to, the Company with respect to, or in connection with, this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the Company agrees not to assert, and hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Applicable Law, any claim that any Investor has any fiduciary duty to the Company; (d) any advice given by an Investor or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby is merely incidental to such Investor’s performance of its obligations hereunder and thereunder (including, in the case of each of the Investors, its acquisition of the Securities); and (e) the Company’s decision to enter into the Transaction Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and its representatives.

(c) The Company acknowledges and agrees that none of the Investors or holders of the Securities has been asked to agree, nor has any Investor agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, Stock or other securities of the Company, or “derivative” securities or Stock based on Stock or other securities issued by the Company or to hold the Securities for any specified term; and no Investor nor holder of Securities shall be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counterparty

 

41


in any “derivative” transaction. The Company further acknowledges and agrees that (a) one or more Investors or holders of Securities may engage in hedging and/or trading activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, (b) such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the shares of Common Stock or other Stock held by the existing holders of shares of Common Stock or other Stock of the Company, both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted; (c) any such hedging and/or trading activities shall not constitute a breach of any Transaction Document or affect any of the rights of any Investor or holder of Securities under any Transaction Document; (d) the issuance of any Conversion Shares may result in dilution of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, which dilution may be substantial under certain market conditions; and (e) the Obligations, including the Company’s obligation to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the New Notes and Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants, are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of the effect of any such dilution or any claim the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may have against any of the Investors and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Company.

16. Further Assurances. Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees: (i) that it shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to timely satisfy each of the conditions to be satisfied by it as provided in Sections 9 of this Agreement, and (ii) from time to time, as and when reasonably requested by any other party hereto, to execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents, instruments and agreements, including secretary’s certificates, stock powers and irrevocable transfer agent instructions, and to take or cause to be taken such further or other action, as may be reasonably necessary or desirable in order to carry out the intent and purposes of this Agreement.

17. Survival Clause. The respective representations, warranties, agreements and other statements of the Company and the Investors set forth in this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of delivery of and payment for the New Notes and New Shares, provided that representations and warranties made as of the date hereof, as of the Closing Date, and/or other specific dates shall speak solely as of those date(s). The respective indemnities provided in Section 12 and reimbursement provisions in Section 11 shall also remain in full force and effect following the delivery of the Securities.

18. Notices. Any notice, request, instruction or other document to be given hereunder by any party to the other will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given (a) on the date of delivery if delivered personally or by electronic mail (so long as such transmission does not generate an error message or notice of non-delivery), (b) on the first business day following the date of dispatch if delivered by a recognized next-day courier service, or (c) on the third business day following the date of mailing if delivered by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.
