3. Amendments to the NPA.

 

3.1 Upon giving effect to the Effective Date, Section 15 of the NPA is amended by inserting the new definitions “Attorneys’ Fees”, “Second Amendment”, “Specified Fees” and “Waiver Fee” each in appropriate alphabetical order to read as follows:

 

““Attorneys’ Fees” means and shall include any and all reasonable attorney’s fees that are incurred by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party incidental to, arising out of, or in any way in connection with the Collateral Agent’s or other Secured Party’s interests in, or defense of, any action, claim, proceeding or the Collateral Agent’s or other Secured Party’s enforcement of its rights and interests with respect to any Collateral or otherwise under any Convertible Note, or any Note Document, which shall include all attorneys’ fees incurred by the Collateral Agent and other Secured Parties (including, without limitation, all expenses of litigation or preparation therefor whether or not the Collateral Agent or applicable Secured Party is a party thereto) whether or not a suit or action is commenced, and all costs in collection of sums due during any work out or with respect to settlement negotiations, or the cost to defend the Collateral Agent or other Secured Party or to enforce any of its rights, including, without limitation, during any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding.”

 

““Second Amendment” means that certain Second Amendment, Limited Waiver and Consent under Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement and Other Note Documents, dated as of November 14, 2022, among the Issuer and the other Note Parties party thereto, the Holders party thereto and the Agent.”

““Specified Fees” means, collectively, the Waiver Fee, the Administration Fee, the Backstop Fee and any Make-Whole Amounts.”

 

““Waiver Fee” has the meaning assigned to such term in the Second Amendment.”

 

3.2 Upon giving effect to the Effective Date, Section 1.2 of the NPA is amended by amending and restating the title thereof to “Specified Fees”, and by adding the new clauses (c) and (d), immediately following clause (b) thereof, in their entirety in order to read as follows:

 

“(c) Waiver Fee. In addition to the foregoing, the Issuer agrees to pay to the Agents and the Holders the Waiver Fee and any other fees and expense reimbursements set forth in any other Note Document or as otherwise separately agreed by the parties, in such amounts and at such times so specified.

 

(d) Fees.

 

(i) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Obligations are accelerated for any reason, including because of an Event of Default or the commencement of any insolvency proceeding or by operation of law or otherwise, the Specified Fees, if any, determined as of the date of acceleration, will be due and payable as though the aggregate principal amount of all Convertible Notes outstanding as of such date were voluntarily prepaid as of such date and 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 Holder’s lost profits as a result thereof. Each Note Party agrees that payment of any Specified Fee due hereunder is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH NOTE PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING SPECIFIED FEES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION INCLUDING IN CONNECTION WITH ANY VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY ACCELERATION OF THE NOTES AND THE RELATED OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO ANY PROCEEDING UNDER ANY DEBTOR RELIEF LAW OR PURSUANT TO A PLAN OF REORGANIZATION.

 

(ii) Issuer on its own behalf and on behalf of each other Note Party expressly agrees that: (A) the Specified Fees are reasonable and the product of an arm’s-length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the fees described hereunder shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between Holders and Issuer giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Specified Fees; (D) no portion of any Specified Fee represents “unmatured interest” within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 502(b)(2); (E) the Specified Fees are not intended to act as or constitute a penalty or punish Issuer or any other Note Party for any payment or prepayment; and (F) the Note Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph. Each Note Party expressly acknowledges that its agreement to pay the Specified Fees to the Holders as herein described is a material inducement to the Holders to enter into this Agreement and the other Note Documents and purchase the Convertible Notes and provide any applicable waiver or other consideration agreed to in connection therewith.

(iii) The Note Parties agree that, once paid, the fees described herein or any part thereof payable hereunder will not be refundable under any circumstances and are in addition to any other fees, costs and expenses payable pursuant to this Agreement or the other Note Documents. The Issuer shall reimburse Agent or such Holder for such costs and expenses as provided in this Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, all such fees will be paid in US dollars and in immediately available funds and shall not be subject to reduction by way of setoff or counterclaim. All or any portion of the fees received by Fortress hereunder may be allocated to any affiliate of Fortress, the Agent or any other Holder or be shared among Fortress, the Agent and their respective affiliates.”

 

3.3 Upon giving effect to the Effective Date, Section 9.1 of the NPA is amended by amending and restating clause (vi) therein to read in its entirety as follows:

 

“(vi) all Attorneys’ Fees and, after the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel) and costs of settlement incurred by the Collateral Agent and each Holder in enforcing any Obligations of or in collecting any payments due from the Issuer or any Guarantor hereunder or under the other Note Documents or any document or instrument referred to herein or therein by reason of such Default or Event of Default (including in connection with the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon any of the Collateral or the enforcement of the Guaranty or the Intercreditor Agreement) or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided hereunder in the nature of a “work out” or pursuant to any insolvency or bankruptcy cases or proceedings.”
