1.Commitments

 

You have requested that TCM and select co-investors of TCM (collectively, the “Investors” or “we”) commit to purchase senior subordinated notes from Parent in an aggregate amount of $25,000,000 (the “Facility”). The Investors are pleased to advise you of their respective several commitments to purchase senior subordinated notes upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth or referred to in this commitment letter (this “Commitment Letter”) and in the Term Sheet. The commitment of each Investor is set forth opposite such Investor’s name on Annex B attached hereto.

a.TCM’s receipt of counterparts of this Commitment Letter duly executed by TCM, Parent and the Investors;

 

b.the satisfaction of each condition precedent set forth in the Term Sheet in the section titled “Closing Conditions”; and

 

c.your compliance with the terms of this Commitment Letter.

 

The terms and conditions of the Investors’ commitment hereunder are limited to those set forth herein and in the Term Sheet. Those matters that are not covered by the provisions hereof and of the Term Sheet are subject to the approval and agreement of TCM, the Investors and the Parent.

 

 

 

3.Confidentiality

 

This Commitment Letter is delivered to you on the understanding that neither this Commitment Letter or the Term Sheet nor any of their terms or substance shall be disclosed, directly or indirectly, to any other person except (a) to your officers, agents and advisors (other than commercial lenders) who are directly involved in the consideration of this matter and for whom you shall be responsible for any breach by any one of them of this confidentiality undertaking, (b) as may be compelled in a judicial or administrative proceeding or as otherwise required by law (in which case you agree to inform us promptly thereof), (c) pursuant to your or your subsidiaries’ bankruptcy cases, and (d) to the office of the U.S. Trustee, the bankruptcy court (subject to the preceding clause (c)), and on a confidential and “professional eyes only” basis to advisors to any statutory committee appointed in your or your subsidiaries’ bankruptcy cases, provided that, the foregoing restrictions shall cease to apply after this Commitment Letter has been accepted by you. Officers, directors, employees and agents of the Investors and their respective affiliates shall at all times have the right to share amongst themselves information received from you and your affiliates and your officers, directors, employees and agents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed and understood that you and your subsidiaries shall be permitted to disclose this Commitment Letter and the contents thereof to the bankruptcy court to the extent disclosure thereof is necessary or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.

 

4.Indemnity

 

You agree (a) to indemnify and hold harmless the Investors and their respective affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, employees, advisors, direct and indirect partners and agents (each, an “indemnified person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses to which any such indemnified person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Commitment Letter, the use of the proceeds thereof, or any related transaction or any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation, arbitration or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in relation to enforcing the terms of this paragraph) (each, a “Proceeding”), regardless of whether any indemnified person is a party thereto or whether such Proceedings are brought by you, your equity holders, affiliates, creditors or any other person, and to reimburse each indemnified person upon demand for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing, provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any indemnified person, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise or result from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such indemnified person and (b) to reimburse the Investors and their affiliates on demand for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable and documented due diligence expenses, consultant's fees and expenses (if any), travel expenses, and reasonable and documented fees, charges and disbursements of outside counsel) incurred in connection with the Facility and any related documentation or the administration, amendment, modification or waiver thereof. You also agree that no indemnified person shall have any liability to you for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages. You shall not, without the prior written consent of an indemnified person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Proceedings in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified person unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceedings and (ii) does not include any statement as to, or any admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified person or any injunctive relief or other non-monetary remedy.

 

5.Alternative Transaction Fee.

 

If the Facility is not consummated and you or any of your subsidiaries consummate any credit facilities or other issuance(s) of debt, subordinated debt or preferred equity securities (specifically excluding the Facility and the Exit First Lien Credit Facility referred to in the Term Sheet, in an amount up to the maximum principal amount of such Exit First Lien Credit Facility set forth in the Term Sheet, but specifically including any amendment, amendment and restatement, renewals or refinancings of any existing credit facilities, or any increase of the amount of the Exit First Lien Credit Facility beyond the amounts permitted by the Term Sheet, collectively, an “Alternate Financing”) within one year after the date hereof, you agree that, unless TCM failed to negotiate in good faith the definitive documentation with respect to the Facility, then TCM shall be deemed to have earned, and you will pay (or cause to be paid) immediately to TCM an amount equal to $500,000.
