2.2Company Termination Events.

The occurrence of any of the following shall be a “Company Termination Event” and together with any Consenting Noteholder Termination Event, a “Termination Event”:

(a)one or more of the Consenting Noteholders materially breaches any of its material obligations herein that would reasonably be expected to have an adverse impact on the timely consummation of the Restructuring that (to the extent curable) remains uncured for a period of five (5) business days after written notice and a description of such breach is provided to the Consenting Noteholders, provided, that the Company Parties may not seek to terminate this Agreement based on a breach of this Support Agreement by a Consenting Noteholder arising primarily out of the Company Parties’ own action in breach of this Support Agreement, and provided,  further, that so long as non-breaching Consenting Noteholders continue to hold at least 66 2/3% of the principal amount of Existing JCHC Notes, such termination shall be effective only with respect to the breaching Consenting Noteholders;

(b)any court of competent jurisdiction or other competent governmental or regulatory authority issues a final, non-appealable order making illegal or otherwise preventing or prohibiting the consummation of the Restructuring contemplated in the Term Sheet or any of the Definitive Documentation in a way that cannot be remedied by the Company Parties subject to the satisfaction of the Company Parties and the Required Consenting Noteholders;

(c)termination of the Solus Commitment Letter by Solus or entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court granting one or more of the Senior Secured Lenders relief from the automatic stay for the purpose of exercising rights against their respective collateral; and

(d)if the Chapter 11 Cases are filed, ninety (90) calendar days after the Petition Date, unless prior thereto the Plan Effective Date has occurred.

2.3Consensual Termination.

In addition to any Termination Event set forth herein, this Support Agreement shall (a) terminate effective upon a written agreement of the Company Parties and the Required Consenting Noteholders to terminate this Support Agreement and (b) automatically terminate with respect to all Parties immediately following either the Amended Offer Effective Date or the Plan Effective Date, as applicable (the “Restructuring Effective Date”).

2.4Termination Event Procedures.

(a)Company Termination Event Procedures. Upon the occurrence of any Company Termination Event, the termination of this Support Agreement shall be effective upon delivery of written notice to legal counsel to the Consenting Noteholders by the Company Parties (the date of the effectiveness of such termination, the “Company Termination Date”).

14


 

 

(b)Consenting Noteholder Termination Event Procedures. Upon the occurrence of a Consenting Noteholder Termination Event, this Support Agreement shall terminate five (5) business days after legal counsel to the Consenting Noteholders shall have given written notice to counsel to the Company Parties of the intent of the Required Consenting Noteholders to terminate this Support Agreement (which notice shall include the purported breach under this Support Agreement), and the breach giving rise to the right to so terminate this Support Agreement (to the extent curable) shall not have been cured during the five (5) business day period after receipt of such notice (the date of termination hereof, the “Consenting Noteholder Termination Date,” and the first date of termination of this Support Agreement pursuant to a Company Termination Date, a Consenting Noteholder Termination Date or in accordance with Section 2.3 hereof, the “Termination Date”). The automatic stay arising pursuant to section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed waived or modified for purposes of providing notice hereunder.

(c)On the Termination Date, this Support Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect, each Party hereto shall be released from its commitments, undertakings and agreements under or related to this Support Agreement, and there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of any Party hereto; provided, that in no event shall any such termination relieve a Party hereto from liability for its breach or non-performance of its obligations hereunder prior to the date of such termination or preclude any Party from seeking specific performance or any other remedy available under applicable law for breach of this Support Agreement, notwithstanding any termination of this Support Agreement by any other Party; provided,  further, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any Termination Event may be waived in accordance with the procedures established by Section 8.11, in which case the Termination Event so waived shall be deemed not to have occurred, this Support Agreement shall be deemed to continue in full force and effect, and the rights and obligations of the Parties hereto shall be restored, subject to any modification set forth in such waiver. Upon the Termination Date (other than a Termination Date that occurs as a result of the consummation of the Restructuring), any and all consents, tenders, waivers, forbearances and votes delivered by a Consenting Noteholder automatically shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void from the first instance and shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by the Company Parties. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event under this Support Agreement, the Restructuring Expenses shall be immediately due and payable for work through the date of termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the automatic stay arising pursuant to section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code in the event the Chapter 11 Cases are commenced shall be deemed waived or modified for purposes of providing notice or exercising rights hereunder.

Section 3.JCHC’s Fiduciary Obligations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) (i) the Company Parties and each

15


 

 

respective board thereof shall be permitted to take (or permitted to refrain from taking) any action with respect to the Restructuring to the extent such board determines, in good faith based upon advice of counsel, that taking such action, or refraining from taking such action, as applicable, is reasonably required to comply with applicable law, including its fiduciary duties, and may take such action without incurring any liability and (ii) the officers and employees of the respective Company Party shall not be required to take any actions inconsistent with applicable law; and (b) to the extent that such fiduciary obligations require a Company Party or its board of directors to terminate such Company Party’s obligations under this Support Agreement and the Term Sheet, such Company Party may do so without incurring any liability to any Consenting Noteholder under this Support Agreement or the Term Sheet. In the event that such Company Party or its board of directors determines that its fiduciary duties require the Company Party to terminate this Support Agreement (or to otherwise not perform their obligations under this Support Agreement), the Company Party shall provide five (5) business days’ written notice to legal counsel to the Consenting Noteholders. Upon termination of this Support Agreement pursuant to this Section 3, all obligations of each Party hereunder shall immediately terminate without further action or notice.

(a)Each Consenting Noteholder, severally and not jointly, represents, warrants and covenants to the Company Parties that, without limiting the ability to sell, transfer or assign any of the Existing Notes or any other claims against or interests in the Company Parties (collectively, the “Holdings”), subject to Section 8 below, (i) such Party is the legal and beneficial owner of the Holdings in the principal amounts indicated on such Party’s signature page hereto, or has and shall maintain the power and authority to bind the legal and beneficial owner(s) of such Holdings to the terms of this Support Agreement, (ii) such Party (x) has and shall

5.5No Material Misstatement or Omission.

Each Company Party, jointly and severally, represents, warrants and covenants as follows:

(a)None of the material or information provided by or on behalf of the Company Parties to the Consenting Noteholders contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the Disclosure Statement, when read or considered together, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to prevent the statements made therein when taken as a whole from being materially misleading, in each case, as of such date; and

(b)The consolidated financial statements (including, in each case, any notes thereto) contained in, or incorporated by reference into, the Disclosure Statement were prepared: (i) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applied on a historically consistent basis throughout the periods indicated (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of interim consolidated financial statements, where information and footnotes contained in such financial statements are not required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to be in compliance with GAAP) and (ii) in compliance, as of their respective dates of filing with the SEC, in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and with the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, and in each case, such consolidated financial statements fairly presented, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position, results of operations, changes in stockholder’s equity and cash flows of JCHC and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the respective dates thereof and for the respective periods covered thereby (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end adjustments).

5.6Additional Company Party Covenants.

(a)From and after the date hereof and until the consummation of the Restructuring, the Company Parties will operate the businesses of JCHC and its subsidiaries in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice, other than (i) as contemplated in this Support Agreement or consistent with effectuating the Debt Exchange or the Plan or (ii) with the consent of the Required Consenting

(b)From and after the date hereof and until the consummation of the Restructuring, (i) JCEI and JCHC will not make or declare any dividends, distributions or other payments on account of their equity and (ii) other than in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice, the Company Parties will not enter into any affiliate transactions or make any payments to any of their affiliates unless such affiliate transaction would otherwise be permitted pursuant to Section 4.11 of the Existing JCHC Notes Indenture.

5.7Cash and Cash Equivalents.

Section 6.Remedies.

It is understood and agreed by each of the Parties that any breach of this Support Agreement would give rise to irreparable harm for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy and accordingly the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief, without the necessity of posting a bond, for any such breach. The Parties agree that for so long as a Party has not taken any action to prejudice the enforceability of this Support Agreement (including without limitation, alleging in any pleading that this Support Agreement is unenforceable), and has taken such actions as are reasonably required or desirable for the enforcement hereof, then no such Party shall have any liability for damages hereunder in the event a court determines that this Support Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction, on a final and non-appealable basis, not enforceable. For the avoidance of doubt, any and all remedies and liability for breach of this Support Agreement shall survive any termination of this Support Agreement.

Section 7.Acknowledgement.

This Support Agreement, the Term Sheet and transactions contemplated herein and therein are the product of negotiations among the Parties, together with their respective representatives.

Section 8.Miscellaneous Terms.

8.1Assignment; Transfer Restrictions.

(a)Each Consenting Noteholder hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, for so long as this Support Agreement shall remain in effect, not to sell, assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (including by participation) any Holdings to any third party that is not a Consenting Noteholder unless, as a condition precedent to any such transaction, the transferee thereof executes and delivers a joinder in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Joinder”) to the Company Parties and legal counsel to the Consenting Noteholders prior to or contemporaneously with the execution of an agreement (or trade confirmation) in respect of the relevant transfer.  Upon execution of a Joinder, the transferee shall be deemed to be a Consenting Noteholder for purposes of this Support Agreement, except as otherwise set forth or limited herein. For the avoidance of doubt, each Consenting Noteholder may freely sell, assign, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (including by participation) any Holdings to any other Consenting Noteholder notwithstanding the foregoing.

(b)Any sale, assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other disposition (including by participation) of any Holdings that does not comply with the procedures set forth in Section 8.1(a) hereof shall be deemed void ab initio.

(c)Any person that receives or acquires Holdings pursuant to a sale, assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other disposition (including by participation) of such Holdings by a Consenting Noteholder hereby agrees to be bound (and shall be deemed to be bound regardless of whether it executes and delivers a Joinder) by all of the terms of this Support Agreement (as the same may be hereafter amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time) (a “Joining Party”). The Joining Party shall be deemed to be a Party for all purposes under this Support Agreement except as otherwise set forth or limited herein. Upon compliance with the foregoing, the transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations, except for any claim for breach of this Support Agreement that occurs prior to such transfer and any remedies with respect to such claim) under this Support Agreement to the extent of such transferred rights and obligations.

(d)With respect to the Holdings of any Joining Party upon consummation of the sale, assignment, transfer, hypothecation or other disposition (including by participation) of such Holdings, the Joining Party hereby makes (and is deemed to have made) the representations and warranties of the Consenting Noteholders, as applicable, set forth in Section 5 hereof to the Company Parties.

(e)This Support Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude any Consenting Noteholder from acquiring additional Holdings; provided that any such Holdings shall automatically be deemed to be subject to the terms of this Support Agreement.

20


 

 

(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, a Qualified Marketmaker (as defined below) that acquires any of the Holdings with the purpose and intent of acting as a Qualified Marketmaker for such Holdings shall not be required to execute and deliver to counsel a Joinder or otherwise agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Support Agreement if such Qualified Marketmaker transfers such Holdings (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) to a Consenting Noteholder or a transferee that executes a Joinder as provided herein. As used herein, the term “Qualified Marketmaker” means an entity that (a) holds itself out to the public or the applicable private markets as standing ready in the ordinary course of business to purchase from customers and sell to customers claims against the Company Parties (or enter with customers into long and short positions in claims against the Company Parties), in its capacity as a dealer or market maker in claims against the Company Parties and (b) is, in fact, regularly in the business of making a market in claims against issuers or borrowers (including debt securities or other debt).

This Support Agreement, including exhibits and annexes hereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Support Agreement, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, agreements, and understandings, whether written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Support Agreement;  provided,  however, that any confidentiality agreements, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Non-Disclosure Agreements, executed by any Party shall survive this Support Agreement and shall continue in full force and effect, subject to the terms thereof, irrespective of the terms hereof.

8.4Counterparts.

This Support Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed signature page of this Support Agreement by email or facsimile transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

8.5Settlement Discussions.

This Support Agreement and the Term Sheet are part of a proposed settlement of disputes among the Parties hereto. Nothing herein shall be deemed to be an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Support Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Support Agreement or obtain entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the RSA Assumption Order pursuant to the RSA Assumption Motion or in connection with the confirmation of the Plan.

21


 

 

8.6Reservation of Rights.

(a)Except as expressly provided in this Support Agreement or in any applicable confidentiality agreement, nothing herein is intended to, does or shall be deemed in any manner to limit (i) the ability of a Consenting Noteholder to consult with other Consenting Noteholders or the Company Parties, (ii) the rights of a Consenting Noteholder to be heard as a party in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases, or (iii) the rights of a Consenting Noteholder to defend against any objection to, or estimation of, any of its Holdings, in each case so long as such consultation, appearance or defense is consistent with the Consenting Noteholder’s obligations under this Support Agreement.

(b)If the transactions contemplated by this Support Agreement and in the Term Sheet are not consummated as provided herein, if a Termination Date occurs, or if this Support Agreement, or a Party’s obligations under this Support Agreement, is otherwise terminated for any reason, each Party fully reserves any and all of its respective rights, remedies and interests (if any) under the Existing JCHC Notes Indenture and Existing JCEI Notes Indenture, respectively, any other relevant Holdings, applicable law and in equity.

(a)The Parties waive all rights to trial by jury in any jurisdiction in any action, suit, or proceeding brought to resolve any dispute between the Parties arising out of this Support Agreement, whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise.

(b)This Support Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and without regard to any conflicts of law provision or principle that would require or permit the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. By its execution and delivery of this Support Agreement, each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that, subject to Section 8.7(c) hereof, any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to any matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Support Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, may be brought in any federal court of competent jurisdiction in New York County, State of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Support Agreement, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or proceedings.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Chapter 11 Cases are commenced, the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of or in connection with this Support Agreement.

8.8Successors.

This Support Agreement is intended to bind the Parties and inure to the benefit of the Parties and each of their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and

22


 

 

representatives; provided,  however, that nothing contained in this Section 8.8 shall be deemed to permit any transfer, tender, vote or consent, of any claims or interests other than in accordance with the terms of this Support Agreement.

8.9Relationship Among Consenting Noteholders.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (a) the duties and obligations of the Consenting Noteholders under this Support Agreement shall be several, not joint and (b) none of the Consenting Noteholders shall have any duty, whether a fiduciary duty or otherwise, to any other Consenting Noteholder, any Company Party or any of their respective subsidiaries or any other lender, creditor, stakeholder, person or entity simply by being a party to this Support Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. In addition, nothing in this Support Agreement shall limit the ability of any Consenting Noteholder to trade securities, bank debt or other financial instruments of the Company Parties, subject to Section 8.1 hereof.

8.10Acknowledgment of Counsel.

Each of the Parties acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel (or had the opportunity to be so represented and waived its right to do so) in connection with this Support Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Support Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Support Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived. The provisions of this Support Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to effect the intent of the parties hereto. No Party shall have any term or provision construed against such Party solely by reason of such Party having drafted the same.

8.11Amendments, Modifications and Waivers.

Except as otherwise specified herein, this Support Agreement (including, without limitation, the Term Sheet) may only be modified, amended or supplemented, and any of the terms thereof may only be waived, by an agreement in writing signed by each of the Company Parties and the Consenting Noteholders representing a majority of the principal amount of Existing JCHC Notes held by the Consenting Noteholders on the date hereof (collectively, the “Required Consenting Noteholders”);  provided,  however, that if one or more of the Consenting Noteholders on the date hereof transfers Holdings pursuant to Section 8.1, “Required Consenting Noteholders” shall be a majority of the principal amount of Existing JCHC Notes held by such non-transferring Consenting Noteholders on the date hereof;  provided,  further, that if the modification, amendment, supplement or waiver at issue materially and adversely impacts the treatment or rights of any Consenting Noteholder disproportionately to other Consenting Noteholders, the agreement in writing of such Consenting Noteholder whose treatment or rights are disproportionately impacted shall also be required for such modification, amendment, supplement, or waiver to be effective.

 

23

8.14Disclosure of Consenting Noteholder Information.

(a)Unless required by applicable law or regulation, each Party agrees to keep confidential the amount of all Holdings in the Company Parties held (beneficially or otherwise) by any Consenting Noteholder absent the prior written consent of such Consenting Noteholder. If JCHC determines that it is required to attach a copy of this Support Agreement to any document or public filing in connection with the Restructuring, it will redact any reference to a specific Consenting Noteholder and such holder’s Holdings. The foregoing shall not prohibit JCHC from disclosing the aggregate claims or interests of all Consenting Noteholders as a group. The Parties’ obligations under this Section 8.14 shall survive termination of this Support Agreement.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Parties will submit to counsel for the Consenting Noteholders all press releases, public filings, public announcements or other communications with any news media in each case to be made by the Company Parties relating to this Support Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and any amendments thereof for prior approval by the Consenting Noteholders. The Consenting Noteholders shall not use the name of the Company Parties in any press release without the Company Parties’ prior written consent. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to waive, amend or modify the terms of any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement between the Company Parties and any Consenting Noteholder.

8.15Continued Banking Practice.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Consenting Noteholder and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of lending, investment banking, trust or other business with, or provide debt financing (including debtor in possession financing), equity capital or other services (including financial advisory services) to any Company Party or any affiliate of any Company Party or any other person, including, but not limited to, any person proposing or entering into a transaction related to or involving any Company Party or any affiliate thereof.
