Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On June 12, 2013, GenCorp Inc. (“GenCorp”) and United Technologies Corporation (“UTC”) entered into an Amended and Restated Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, (the “Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement”), which amends and restates the Stock and Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of July 22, 2012, as amended, by and between UTC and GenCorp (the “Original Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which GenCorp and UTC have agreed to the previously announced proposed acquisition of UTC’s Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne business (the “Acquisition”), subject to the terms and conditions therein.
 
The Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement modifies the Original Purchase Agreement to provide, among other things, that (i) GenCorp is not obligated to acquire the 50% membership interest of RD Amross, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“RDA”) owned by UTC or the portion of the Pratt & Rocketdyne business that markets and supports the sale of RD 180 engines (the “RDA Acquisition”) until certain conditions have been met, and (ii) $55 million of the Acquisition purchase price shall be payable to UTC upon such time as the RDA Acquisition may occur, if at all.
 
The description of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
In connection with the consummation of the Acquisition, GenCorp added Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, Inc. (“PWR”), Arde, Inc. (“Arde”) and Arde-Barinco, Inc. (“Arde-Barinco”) as subsidiary guarantors under its senior credit facility pursuant to that certain Joinder Agreement, dated as of June 14, 2013, by and among PWR, Arde, Arde-Barinco, GenCorp and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Wells Fargo”), as administrative agent.
 
In connection with the release from escrow of the proceeds of the January, 2013 offering of the 7.125% Second-Priority Senior Secured Notes due 2021 (the “Notes”), GenCorp entered into (i) that certain Second Lien Security Agreement, dated as of June 14, 2013, by and among GenCorp, the Material Domestic Subsidiaries of GenCorp from time to time party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association (“U.S. Bank”), as collateral agent under that certain Indenture (the “Indenture”), dated as of January 28, 2013, by and among GenCorp, Aerojet-General Corporation (“Aerojet”), as guarantor, and U.S. Bank, as trustee and collateral agent, and (ii) that certain intercreditor agreement, dated as of June 14, 2013, by and between Wells Fargo and U.S. Bank.
 
Also in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition, GenCorp added PWR, Arde and Arde-Barinco as additional guarantors to the Indenture, pursuant to the first supplemental indenture, dated as of June 14, 2013, by and among GenCorp, PWR, Arde, Arde-Barinco and U.S. Bank.  PWR, Arde and Arde-Barinco also entered into (i) that certain joinder agreement, dated as of June 14, 2013, to the purchase agreement providing for the issuance and sale of the Notes, dated as of January 18, 2013, by and among GenCorp, Aerojet and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc as initial purchasers (the “Initial Purchasers”) of the Notes, and (ii) that certain joinder agreement, dated as of June 14, 2013, to the registration rights agreement, dated as of January 28, 2013, by and among GenCorp, Aerojet, as guarantor, and the Initial Purchasers.
 
The description of the documents contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such documents, copies of which are filed as exhibits to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
 
 
 

 
 
Item 2.01  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
 
On June 14, 2013, GenCorp completed its acquisition of substantially all operations of the Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne business from UTC pursuant to the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement.  The aggregate consideration to UTC was $411 million, paid in cash, which represents the initial purchase price of $550 million reduced by $55 million relating to the future RDA Acquisition, and further adjusted for customer advances, capital expenditures and net asset adjustments as provided for in the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, subject further to post-closing adjustments as provided therein.  The foregoing description of the Acquisition and the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended and Restated Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Item 8.01  Other Events.
 
On June 10, 2013, the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) announced that it closed its investigation into the Acquisition under the the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended.  GenCorp was not required to divest its Liquid Divert and Attitude Control Systems business in order to consummate the Acquisition.
 
On June 14, 2013, GenCorp issued a press release announcing the completion of the Acquisition.  A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

(b)
As soon as practicable, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, the Seller shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer an unaudited statement of (i) the Closing Date Net Assets, (ii) the Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount, and (iii) the Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount (the “ Initial Closing Date Statement ”).  The Initial Closing Date Statement shall be prepared on a basis consistent with the Agreed Accounting Principles, adjusted for the Business as purchased and this Agreement.  For illustrative purposes only, an example demonstrating the calculation of Closing Date Net Assets, Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount, and Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount and a sample Initial Closing Date Statement are set forth on Schedule 1.5 .
 
(c)
If the Buyer notifies the Seller within ninety (90) days of receipt of the Initial Closing Date Statement of an objection to any item on the Initial Closing Date Statement, the Buyer and the Seller shall, within sixty (60) days following such notice (the “ Resolution Period ”), attempt in good faith to resolve their differences and any written resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive.  The Seller shall provide the Buyer with reasonable access during normal business hours to the books, records and personnel of the Seller to the extent necessary to enable the Buyer to evaluate the Initial Closing Statement.  After the end of the first ninety (90)-day period referred to above, neither Party may introduce additional objections with respect to any item in the Initial Closing Date Statement or increase the amount of any objection, and any item not so identified shall be deemed to be agreed to by the Buyer and the Seller and shall be final and binding upon the Parties.  The Buyer agrees that any failure by it to notify the Seller of any such objection prior to the expiration of the ninety (90)-day period immediately following the delivery of the Initial Closing Date Statement by the Seller shall be deemed to be an acceptance by the Buyer of the Initial Closing Date Statement and shall constitute a waiver of any right by the Buyer to dispute such Initial Closing Date Statement for all purposes.
 
(d)
If at the conclusion of the Resolution Period there remains any dispute regarding any item on the Initial Closing Date Statement, then such dispute shall be submitted to an impartial nationally recognized major accounting firm selected by the Seller and the Buyer within ten (10) days after the expiration of the Resolution Period (the “ Neutral Auditors ”).  If the Seller and the Buyer are unable to agree on the Neutral Auditors, then each of the Seller and the Buyer shall select an impartial nationally recognized major accounting firm, and the two (2) firms will mutually select a third impartial nationally recognized major accounting firm to serve as the Neutral Auditors.  For purposes of this Section 1.5(d) , an auditor is “impartial” if it has not conducted auditing work for either Party within the past two (2) years.  One-half of all fees and expenses relating to the work, if any, to be performed by the Neutral Auditors shall be borne by the Buyer, and one-half shall be borne by the Seller.  The Neutral Auditor shall select as a resolution the position of either the Buyer or the Seller for each item in dispute and may not impose an alternative resolution.  The Neutral Auditors shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator to determine, based solely on presentations by the Seller and the Buyer and their respective advisors, only those issues still in dispute.  The Neutral Auditors’ determination shall be made within thirty (30) days of the presentations by the Seller and the Buyer and their respective advisors, shall be consistent with the manner and standards described in this Section 1.5(d) and the Agreed Accounting Principles, shall be set forth in a written statement delivered to the Seller and the Buyer, and shall be final, binding and conclusive.  The Initial Closing Date Statement as accepted by the Buyer pursuant to Section 1.5(c) and/or adjusted by agreement of the Parties or to reflect the determinations of the Neutral Auditors pursuant to this Section 1.5(d) shall constitute the “ Final Closing Date Statement ,” the amount of the Closing Date Net Assets as reflected on the Final Closing Date Statement shall be the “ Final Closing Date Net Assets ”, the Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount as reflected on the Final Closing Date Statement shall be the “ Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount ,” and the Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount as reflected on the Final Closing Date Statement shall be the “ Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount .”

(e)
Intentionally Omitted.
 
(f)
The difference between the Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount and the Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount shall be referred to herein as the “ Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Adjustment .”  If the Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount is greater than the Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount, then the Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Adjustment shall be a positive number.  If the Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount is less than the Estimated Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Amount, then the Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Adjustment shall be a negative number.
 
(g)
The difference between the Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount and the Estimated Closing Date Funded Indebtedness shall be referred to herein as the “ Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Adjustment .”  If the amount of the Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount is greater than the amount of the Estimated Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount, then the Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Adjustment shall be a negative number.  If the amount of the Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount is less than the amount of the Estimated Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Amount, then the Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Adjustment shall be a positive number.  The sum of the Final Closing Date Net Assets Adjustment, the Final Pre-Closing Capital Expenditure Adjustment and the Final Closing Date Funded Indebtedness Adjustment is referred to herein as the “ Final Purchase Price Adjustment .”
 
(h)
If the Final Purchase Price Adjustment is a negative number, then the amount of the Purchase Price minus the absolute value of the Final Purchase Price Adjustment shall be the “ Final Purchase Price ,” and if the Final Purchase Price Adjustment is a positive number, then the amount of the Purchase Price plus the Final Purchase Price Adjustment shall be the “Final Purchase Price.”  If the Final Purchase Price Adjustment is a negative number, then the Seller shall pay to the Buyer the absolute value of the Final Purchase Price Adjustment (less any applicable withholding Taxes), along with interest accrued thereon.  If the Final Purchase Price Adjustment is a positive number, then the Buyer shall pay to the Seller the Final Purchase Price Adjustment (less any applicable withholding Taxes), along with interest accrued thereon.  Interest on the amount of such difference shall accrue, commencing on the Closing Date until date of payment, at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate as published in The Wall Street Journal and in effect on the Closing Date.

(i)
Payment of any amounts due the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 1.5 shall be made within five (5) Business Days after the ninetieth (90th) day of receipt of the Final Closing Date Statement if not objected to by the Buyer or five (5) Business Days after any agreement by the Seller and the Buyer or the decision of the Neutral Auditors, as the case may be.
 
1.6            Allocation of Purchase Price
 
The Buyer and the Seller shall determine and prepare separate allocations of the Final Purchase Price among the assets sold to the Buyer for Tax purposes in the Rocketdyne Transactions in their sole discretion (the “ Purchase Price Allocations ”), and there shall be no requirement that the Purchase Price Allocations be consistent with each other.  To the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, the Buyer and the Seller (as the case may be) shall cooperate with the requesting Party in providing documents and information necessary to enable the requesting Party to prepare its separate Purchase Price Allocation.
 
1.7            Certain Consents
 
(a)
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any of the Assigned Contracts, or any of the rights or claims described in Section 1.1(a)(x) or Liabilities of the Seller described in Section 1.2(a)(i) are not assignable without the consent, waiver or approval of another party, this Agreement shall not constitute an assignment or an attempted assignment or assumption or attempted assumption thereof if such assignment, attempted assignment, assumption or attempted assumption would constitute a violation of a Requirement of Law or a breach or default under such Assigned Contract or otherwise trigger any termination or renegotiation right of such other party to the Assigned Contract.
 
(b)
Prior to the Closing Date, the Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate and use reasonable efforts to obtain such consents and novations in accordance with Section 5.2 .  If any such consent or novation shall not be obtained prior to the Closing Date, except with respect to Government Contracts that are addressed in Section 6.4 , the Seller and the Buyer shall cooperate in good faith to mutually agree upon a reasonable arrangement (including entering into agreements between the Parties) designed to provide or transfer to the Buyer the benefits intended to be assigned to, and the burdens and Liabilities intended to be assumed by, the Buyer, including, with respect to any Assigned Contract, at the Buyer’s request, enforcement at the cost and for the account of the Buyer of any and all rights of the Seller against the other party thereto arising out of the breach or cancellation thereof by such other party or otherwise; provided , that the Buyer shall (i) pay or satisfy the corresponding liabilities for the enjoyment of such benefit to the extent that the Buyer or the Companies would have been responsible therefor if such consent or novation had been obtained; (ii) enter into a written Contract with the Seller to act as a subcontractor of the Seller to perform any and all obligations of the Seller under each aforementioned Assigned Contract for the duration of such Assigned Contract (including any automatic extensions or renewals) and only for the exact amounts payable to the Seller under such Assigned Contract for the performance of such obligations; (iii) be responsible for all of the reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in performing its obligations under such Assigned Contract as a subcontractor of the Seller under subparagraph (ii) above; (iv) indemnify the Seller in full for any Losses suffered or incurred by the Seller to the extent arising out of or relating to the Buyer’s performance as a subcontractor of the Seller under subparagraph (ii) above; and (v) procure that the Companies shall refrain from taking any action that would reasonably be expected to have the effect of delaying, impairing or impeding the receipt of any such consents and novations.

(b)
Without limiting the generality of Section 1.8(a) , to the extent that, following the Closing, the Parties mutually determine in good faith that any asset or Liability that was intended to be transferred pursuant to this Agreement was not transferred on the Closing Date or the RDA Closing Date, as applicable, (such asset or Liability, an “ Omitted Asset ” or “ Omitted Liability ,” respectively), then, as applicable:  (i) the Seller shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly assign and transfer to the Buyer or its designated assignee, all right, title and interest in such Omitted Asset or (ii) the Buyer shall, or shall cause its Affiliates to, promptly assume such Omitted Liability and shall thereafter pay, perform, discharge or otherwise satisfy such Omitted Liability in accordance with its terms.  From the time such Omitted Asset or Omitted Liability is discovered until such time as it is transferred to the proper Party or its designated assignee, Section 1.7(b) shall apply mutatis mutandis.  Upon execution of such assignment or assumption, such Omitted Asset or Omitted Liability, as applicable, shall automatically and immediately be deemed to be included in and constitute an Asset, Assumed Liability, RD-180 Asset or RD-180 Assumed Liability, as applicable, and included on the appropriate Schedule, if applicable, as of July 22, 2012 (the “ Original Agreement Date ”) and without the need for any additional consideration, and any failure to deliver an Omitted Asset or assume an Assumed Liability or RD-180 Assumed Liability at the Closing or the RDA Closing, as applicable, shall not, in and of itself, constitute a breach of this Agreement if and to the extent such omission is fully cured.

As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, the Buyer shall establish or designate, effective as of the Closing Date, a defined benefit pension plan and trust intended to be qualified under Sections 401(a) and 501(a), respectively, of the Code (the “ Buyer Pension Plan ”), which shall cover Union Business Employees who are participants in the Seller Pension Plan immediately prior to the Closing (the “ Pension Participants ”), and the Parties shall cooperate in good faith to effect such establishment or designation as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date.  The Buyer shall, with respect to the participation of each Pension Participant, continue to maintain the Buyer Pension Plan on the terms contemplated by this Section 6.2(h) at least until expiration of the collective bargaining Contract applicable to such Pension Participant.

(a)
The following provisions of this Section 9.7 shall govern the Seller’s and the Buyer’s investigations, remediations and indemnification obligations relating to Environmental Liabilities for Remedial Actions.
 
(b)
The Seller’s Remedial Action obligations are subject to the following standards and limitations:
 
 
(i)
Pursuant to its indemnity obligations under Section 9.2(d) and the provisions of Section 9.7(e) , Seller shall be the Lead Party for and shall perform all Remedial Actions Required by Law for all Preexisting Environmental Conditions and all Seller New Environmental Conditions.  Where the Seller is the Lead Party, the Seller shall have the right, after reasonably consulting with the Buyer, to select and utilize, to the maximum extent allowable under applicable Environmental Laws, institutional and engineering controls, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.7(b)(iv) .
 
 
(ii)
With respect to any Environmental Condition for which the Seller is responsible, the Seller shall only be obligated to conduct, or provide indemnification for, Remedial Actions Required by Law that are conducted in a reasonably cost-effective manner acceptable to or approved by the applicable Governmental Authorities (considering initial capital costs, the present discounted value of anticipated future monitoring, operation and maintenance costs, and any costs associated with disruption of operations at the affected property), to achieve the Applicable Remediation Standards.  The Seller shall seek, to the extent practicable, a no further action letter or similar document from the applicable Governmental Authority confirming that no further Remedial Action (other than maintenance and monitoring of institutional and engineering controls meeting the requirements of Section 9.7(b)(iv) ) are required with respect to such Environmental Condition.
 
 
102

 
 
 
(iii)
If the Seller reasonably believes that the action of a Governmental Authority in imposing Applicable Remediation Standards or in requiring particular Remedial Action methods is contrary to law or unreasonable under the circumstances, and the Seller determines in its reasonable business judgment that the most cost-effective approach is to challenge such action through appropriate regulatory and/or judicial processes, the Seller reserves the right to undertake such challenge.  The Seller shall have the right to control such legal or regulatory challenge, and the Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with the Seller with respect to such challenge; provided , that (i) Seller’s obligation to indemnify the Buyer shall extend to and include the obligation to indemnify Buyer for Losses caused by the Seller’s decision to exercise any such legal challenges; and (ii) during the pendency of such challenge the Seller shall take such actions which are required by law or reasonable under the circumstances.
 
 
(iv)
In addition to the Environmental Restrictions, the Seller shall have the right to propose and utilize institutional and engineering controls, subject to the following:
 
 
(A)
The Seller shall have the right to utilize institutional and engineering controls at the Canoga Park Leased Premises and PWRWB Leased Premises as provided in the Canoga Park Lease and the PWRWB Lease, respectively.
 
 
(B)
The Seller shall have the right, subject to approval of the applicable Governmental Authority, to propose and utilize institutional controls restricting future use of the Leased Real Property to industrial or commercial purposes and prohibiting withdrawal of groundwater; provided , that such institutional controls would not unreasonably interfere with the continued (including the anticipated future) operation of the Business or would not subject the Buyer to any Material Unreimbursed Implementation Cost.
 
 
(C)
The Seller shall have the right, subject to approval of the applicable Governmental Authority, to propose and accept engineering controls ( e.g. , capping or covering areas) on the Leased Real Property; provided , that such engineering controls would not unreasonably interfere with the continued (including the anticipated future) operation of the Business or would not subject the Buyer to any Material Unreimbursed Implementation Cost.
 
 
(D)
The Seller shall have the right to propose engineering controls on the Owned Real Property in addition to those engineering controls referenced in the Environmental Restrictions set forth in Section 6.10 subject to the Buyer’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided , that such additional engineering controls shall not unreasonably interfere with the continued (including the anticipated future) operation of the Business or the anticipated future industrial or commercial use of the Owned Real Property or would not subject the Buyer to any Material Unreimbursed Implementation Cost.
 
 
103

 
 
 
(E)
If the Seller elects to utilize engineering and/or institutional controls as provided in Section 9.7(c)(iv) , the Buyer agrees to cooperate in executing and recording any documents that are necessary to establish and implement such institutional and engineering controls (“ Environmental Covenants ”).
 
 
(v)
If the Buyer undertakes any construction, expansion, demolition or renovation activities on the Owned Real Property, Leased Real Property, the Canoga Park Leased Premises or the PWRWB Leased Premises (to the extent permitted under the Canoga Park Lease or the PWRWB Lease) that are not required by applicable Environmental Law or ordered, directed or otherwise formally requested by a Governmental Authority, and that involve the demolition or renovation of any structures, the removal of any slab, paved area, parking lot or engineering control cap (collectively, “ Cap ”) or the excavation of soils beneath any such Cap, the Buyer shall be solely responsible for all costs associated with such work, including (1) any costs of construction, expansion, demolition, renovation and excavation; (2) any costs of identification, management and removal of Regulated Asbestos Containing Materials; (3) any costs of the management and disposition of waste materials related to the construction, demolition or renovation of such structures; (4) any costs of excavation or disposal of disturbed or excavated in the process of conducting such work; and (5) the costs of replacing any engineering control cap to the extent required under applicable Environmental Law or any Environmental Covenants; and the Seller shall have no indemnification obligations under Section 9.2(d) with respect to any such costs; provided, that nothing in this paragraph shall relieve Seller from its indemnification obligations under Section 9.2(d) with respect to any storage tanks, drums, waste units, barrels, containers, or other closed receptacles previously undisclosed to the Buyer.
 
 
(vi)
Upon the Seller providing to the Buyer evidence of the LA Regional Board’s issuance of a no further action letter with respect to Environmental Conditions at the Owned Real Property, the Seller’s indemnification obligations under Section 9.2(d) (relating to Remedial Actions to the Applicable Remediation Standard) with respect to such Environmental Conditions on, at or affecting the Owned Real Property shall terminate, and the Buyer shall assume responsibility for such Environmental Conditions at the Owned Real Property.  However, in the event the LA Regional Board reopens site investigation or other Remedial Actions Required by Law due to changes in legal standards applicable to Preexisting Environmental Conditions or Seller New Environmental Conditions, then Seller shall resume Lead Party responsibility with respect to such Remedial Actions Required by Law.
 
(c)
If it is determined that an Environmental Condition that requires Remedial Action is the result of a Buyer New Environmental Condition in combination with either a Preexisting Environmental Condition or a Seller New Environmental Condition, liability for any Remedial Action shall be allocated equitably between the Seller and the Buyer based on consideration of (among others) the following factors:
 
 
104

 
 
 
(i)
whether, but for the Environmental Condition for which one of the Parties is solely responsible, a Remedial Action obligation would have arisen for the other Party;
 
 
(ii)
the relative quantity, toxicity and area affected by the Regulated Substances for which the respective Parties are responsible;
 
 
(iii)
the degree to which the Regulated Substance for which a Party is responsible affects the selection of the remedy, the cost of the remedy, and the period of time over which the remedy must be implemented; and
 
 
(iv)
other relevant considerations.
 
(d)
The Parties agree that the following presumptions will be used in determining whether an Environmental Condition discovered on the Owned Real Property or the Leased Real Property after the Closing Date is a Preexisting Environmental Condition, a Seller New Environmental Condition or a Buyer New Environmental Condition:
 
 
(i)
If the Environmental Condition involves a Regulated Substance that was not used, generated or stored by the Buyer (including any prior owner or Predecessor), and is not a decomposition product of a substance used, generated, or stored by the Buyer, it shall be presumed that the Environmental Condition is a Preexisting Environmental Condition.
 
 
(ii)
If the Environmental Condition involves a Regulated Substance that was used, generated or stored by the Buyer, or is a decomposition product of a substance used, generated or stored by the Buyer, and such Regulated Substance was not used, generated or stored by the Seller (including any prior owner or Predecessor) then, it shall be presumed that the Environmental Condition is a Buyer New Environmental Condition.
 
 
(iii)
If the Environmental Condition involves a Regulated Substance that was used, generated or stored by both the Seller (including any prior owner or Predecessor) and the Buyer, or is a decomposition product of such a substance, and if an Environmental Condition Assessment has been conducted with respect to the subject property either before the Closing or within three (3) months after the Closing, then:
 
 
(A)
the concentrations and areas affected by the Regulated Substance as identified in the Environmental Condition Assessment shall be presumed to be Preexisting Environmental Conditions in the absence of evidence that such Environmental Condition resulted from a Release of the Regulated Substance by the Buyer;
 
 
105

 
 
 
(B)
an Environmental Condition found after completion of the Environmental Condition Assessment involving the presence of any Regulated Substance that was not identified in the Environmental Condition Assessment and is not the decomposition product of a substance of identified in the Environmental Condition Assessment, shall be presumed to be a Buyer New Environmental Condition; and
 
 
(C)
an Environmental Condition found after completion of the Environmental Condition Assessment involving the presence of a Regulated Substance or breakdown product thereof at a higher concentration or in a different area than identified in the Environmental Condition Assessment shall be presumed to be a Buyer New Environmental Condition.
 
 
(iv)
If the Environmental Condition involves a Regulated Substance that was used, generated or stored by both the Seller and the Buyer, or is a decomposition product of such a substance, but where an environmental assessment has not been conducted, then no presumptions shall be made.
 
 
(v)
With respect to the Canoga Park Facility, it shall be presumed that any Environmental Condition found in areas where the Seller conducted operations prior to the Closing is a Preexisting Environmental Condition unless there has been a reportable Release of a Regulated Substance by Buyer in such area.
 
 
(vi)
Each presumption set forth in this subsection shall be a rebuttable presumption.  Such presumption shall place the burden of going forward and the burden or persuasion upon the party against whom the presumption applies.  The presumption may be overcome by a preponderance of the evidence to the contrary.
 
(e)
Communication and Control .
 
 
(i)
The Party that has the right to assume control of a response to an Environmental Liability related to the Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property in accordance with this Section 9.7(e) shall be designated as the “ Lead Party ” for purposes of such Environmental Liability.

(B)
The Buyer shall be the Lead Party and have the right to assume control of, direct and implement any Remedial Action, defense or other response relating to any Buyer New Environmental Condition on, at or affecting the Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property.
 
 
106

 
 
 
(C)
If it is determined that an Environmental Condition on, at or affecting the Owned Real Property or Leased Real Property is the result of a Buyer New Environmental Condition in combination with either a Preexisting Environmental Condition or a Seller New Environmental Condition, the Party with the greater proportionate responsibility shall be the Lead Party and have the right to assume control of, direct and implement any Remedial Action, defense or other response relating to such Environmental Condition.
 
 
(ii)
Within thirty (30) days after receiving notice of a claim pursuant to Section 9.5(a) , the Buyer or the Seller, as appropriate, shall notify the other party of its intent to act as Lead Party.

(vii)
The Buyer and Buyer Group Members shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of the Seller, including providing reasonable access to any Facilities, employees, business and personal records, data and information, including access to the Seller and the Seller’s contractors to conduct any investigation of Environmental Conditions or any Remedial Action on or at any of the Facilities, in accordance with the Access Agreement.

112

 
 
SECTION 11. GENERAL PROVISIONS

(h)           Such Guaranteeing Subsidiary shall have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders under this Guarantee.
 
(i)            Pursuant to Section 12.04 of the Indenture, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities that are relevant under any applicable bankruptcy or fraudulent conveyance laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under Article XII of the Indenture, this new Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount permissible such that the obligations of such Guaranteeing Subsidiary under this Guarantee will not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.
 
 
 

 
 
(j)           Until released in accordance with Section 12.05 or Section 12.06 of the Indenture and Section 5 hereof, this Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Issuer for liquidation, reorganization, should the Issuer become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all or any significant part of the Issuer’s assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment and performance of the Notes are, pursuant to applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored or returned by any obligee on the Notes and Guarantee, whether as a “voidable preference,” “fraudulent transfer” or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance had not been made.  In the event that any payment or any part thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Note shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.
 
(k)           In case any provision of this Guarantee shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

(b)           Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Section 5.01 of the Indenture, the successor corporation formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of the Indenture referring to the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, shall refer instead to the successor corporation and not to the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable), and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, under the Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Issuer or a Subsidiary Guarantor, as applicable, herein; provided that any predecessor Issuer shall not be relieved from the obligation to pay the principal of and interest on the Notes except in the case of a sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of all of the Issuer’s assets that meets the requirements of Section 5.01 of the Indenture.

In the event of any conflict between the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of such Intercreditor Agreement shall govern and control.  Each Obligor agrees that, in the event any Obligor takes any action to grant or perfect a Lien in favor of the First Lien Agent in any assets, such Obligor shall also take such action to grant or perfect a Lien (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement) in favor of the Collateral Agent to secure the Secured Obligations without request of the Collateral Agent.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, prior to the First Lien Lender Termination Date (as defined in the Intercreditor Agreement), (i) the requirements of this Agreement to endorse, assign or deliver Collateral to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed satisfied by endorsement, assignment or delivery of such Collateral to the First Lien Agent, (ii) any endorsement, assignment or delivery to the First Lien Agent shall be deemed an endorsement, assignment or delivery to the Collateral Agent for all purposes hereunder, (iii) the requirements of this Agreement to perfect by Control the Collateral Agent’s security interest in a Deposit Account or Securities Account shall be deemed satisfied by the First Lien Agent’s obtaining Control of such Deposit Account or Securities Account on behalf of the Secured Parties.  For purposes of the Intercreditor Agreement and for the avoidance of doubt, each Obligor grants to the First Lien Agent for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties, as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of all the Secured Obligations, a continuing security interest in all Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts.

29.            Impairment of Liens and Intervening Creditor .  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of any determination by a court of competent jurisdiction with respect to any series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations that (i) such series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations is unenforceable under applicable law or are subordinated to any other obligations (other than another series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations), (ii) such series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations does not have an enforceable security interest in any of the Collateral and/or (iii) any intervening security interest exists securing any other obligations (other than another series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations) on a basis ranking prior to the security interest of such series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations but junior to the security interest of any other series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations (any such condition referred to in the foregoing clause (i), (ii) or (iii) with respect to any series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations, an “ Impairment ” of such series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations), the results of such Impairment shall be borne solely by the holders of such series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations, and the rights of the holders of such series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations (including, without limitation, the right to receive distributions in respect of such series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations) set forth herein shall be modified to the extent necessary so that the effects of such Impairment are borne solely by the holders of such series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations subject to such Impairment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Collateral for which a third party (other than a holder of another series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations) has a Lien or security interest that is junior in priority to the security interest of any series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations but senior (as determined by appropriate legal proceedings in the case of any dispute) to the security interest of the holder of any other series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations (such third party, an “ Intervening Creditor ”), the value of any Collateral or proceeds which are allocated to such Intervening Creditor shall be deducted on a ratable basis solely from the Collateral or proceeds to be distributed in respect of the series of Additional Pari Passu Obligations with respect to which such Impairment exists.
 
30.            Concerning the Collateral Agent .  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall have the rights, protections and immunities given to it as Collateral Agent under the Indenture, and such are incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the rights, powers, discretions and benefits afforded the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Collateral Agent’s interest in the Collateral (on behalf of the Secured Parties), and shall not impose any duties upon the Collateral Agent to exercise any such rights, powers, discretions or benefits.  Notwithstanding any grant of discretion to the Collateral Agent hereunder, the Collateral Agent shall act or refrain from acting pursuant to direction from the Trustee or the Holders, delivered in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any obligation to enter any control or similar agreement and shall have the right to decline signing such an agreement if the Collateral Agent determines in good faith that such action would expose the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to liability or if doing so is not consistent with the rights, privileges, protections and immunities of the Trustee set forth in the Indenture, or of the Collateral Agent set forth in the Indenture or this Security Agreement.  The Parties hereto acknowledge that U.S. Bank National Association is entering this Agreement solely in its capacity as Collateral Agent under the Indenture and shall not be liable hereunder in its individual or corporate capacity, except as may be attributable to its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
31.            USA PATRIOT Act .  The Collateral Agent hereby notifies the parties hereto that, pursuant to the requirements of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism (USA PATRIOT) Act of 2001, it shall be required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the party, which information includes the names and addresses and other information that will allow it to identify the party in accordance with the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.  The party shall promptly deliver information described in the immediately preceding sentence when requested by the Collateral Agent in writing pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act.

Prior to the First Lien Lender Termination Date, the First Lien Agent and the other First Lien Lenders shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights, exercise remedies (including, without limitation, setoff and the right to credit bid their debt) and make determinations regarding release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to the Collateral without any consultation with or the consent of the Second Lien Agent or any other Noteholder; provided that (i) in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against any Obligor, the Second Lien Agent may file a proof of claim with respect to the Noteholder Debt and the Noteholders may vote with respect to any Conforming Plan of Reorganization, (ii) the Second Lien Agent may (x) send such notices of the existence of, or any evidence or confirmation of, the Noteholder Debt under the Noteholder Documents or the Liens of the Second Lien Agent, or any other collateral agent, agent or representative of the Noteholders which has appointed the Second Lien Agent to act for, and bind, it (and all Noteholders for which it acts as collateral agent, agent or representative) under and for purposes of this Agreement, in the Collateral to any court or governmental agency or (y) file or record any such notice or evidence to the extent necessary to prove or preserve the Liens of the Second Lien Agent, or any other collateral agent, agent or representative of the Noteholders which has appointed the Second Lien Agent to act for, and bind, it (and all Noteholders for which it acts as collateral agent, agent or representative) under and for purposes of this Agreement, in the Collateral, (iii) the Second Lien Agent may file any necessary or appropriate responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any Person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claims or Liens of any Noteholder, including any claims secured by the Collateral, in each case to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, (iv)   the Second Lien Agent or any other collateral agent, agent or representative of the Noteholders which has appointed the Second Lien Agent to act for, and bind, it (and all Noteholders for which it acts as collateral agent, agent or representative) under and for purposes of this Agreement, may take action in order to create, perfect or preserve (but not enforce) its Lien on any Collateral, (v) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Second Lien Agent and Noteholders shall be entitled to file any pleadings, objections, motions or agreements which assert rights or interests available to unsecured creditors of the Obligors arising under either applicable bankruptcy law or applicable non-bankruptcy law, in each case in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (vi) in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, the Second Lien Agent and Noteholders shall be entitled to vote on any plan of reorganization, to the extent consistent with the provisions hereof (it being understood that the Second Lien Agent and Noteholders shall not be permitted to vote in favor or support of any plan of reorganization that is not a Conforming Plan or Reorganization), and (vii) the Second Lien Agent or any Noteholder may exercise any of its rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral after termination of the Standstill Period.

In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the First Lien Agent and the other First Lien Lenders or any of them may enforce the provisions of the First Lien Lender Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in the exercise of their sole discretion. Such exercise and enforcement shall include, without limitation, the rights of an agent appointed by them to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral upon foreclosure, to incur expenses in connection with such sale or disposition, and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction and of a secured creditor under the Bankruptcy Code or similar laws of any applicable jurisdiction. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless and until the First Lien Lender Termination Date has occurred, except as expressly provided above in this Section 3.1(a) or the proviso of Section 3.1(b) , the sole right of the Second Lien Agent and the other Noteholders with respect to the Collateral is to hold a Lien on the Collateral pursuant to the Noteholder Documents for the period and to the extent granted therein and to receive a share of the proceeds thereof, if any, after the First Lien Lender Termination Date has occurred.

5.3 Amendments to Noteholder Collateral Documents .
 
(a) Until the First Lien Termination Date has occurred, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agent and the Required Lenders, no Noteholder Collateral Document may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified or entered into to the extent such amendment, supplement or modification, or the terms of any new Noteholder Collateral Document would (i) provide any restriction on the Obligors’ ability to incur First Lien Debt, to grant Liens to the First Lien Agent for the benefit of the First Lien Lenders or otherwise to perform their obligations under the First Lien Lender Documents, in each case that is more restrictive than is contained in the Noteholder Documents on the date hereof, (ii) change the rate of interest payable on or alter the amount or dates for payment of any principal or other sum due in respect of the Noteholder Debt, other than to reduce such rate of interest or amount or extend the maturity of any such payment, or (iii) otherwise be inconsistent with any of the terms of any of the First Lien Lender Documents or this Agreement. The Second Lien Agent agrees that each Noteholder Collateral Document shall include the following language:
 
 
 

 
 
“Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the lien and security interest granted to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy by the Collateral Agent hereunder are subject to the provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of June 14, 2013 (as amended, modified, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “ Intercreditor Agreement ”), between Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as First Lien Agent, and U.S. Bank National Association, as Second Lien Agent. In the event of any conflict between the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and this Agreement, the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement shall govern.”

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event the First Lien Agent or the Required Lenders enter into any amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the First Lien Lender Documents for the purpose of adding to, or deleting from, or waiving or consenting to any departures from any provisions of any First Lien Collateral Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the First Lien Agent, any other First Lien Lender, or any of the Obligors thereunder, then such amendment, waiver or consent shall apply automatically to any comparable provision of the Comparable Noteholder Collateral Document without the consent of the Second Lien Agent or the other Noteholders and without any action by the Second Lien Agent or any Obligor; provided , however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent (i) shall have the effect of removing assets subject to the Lien of the Noteholder Collateral Documents, except to the extent that a release of such Lien is required or permitted by Section 5.1 or (ii) shall alter the rights or duties of Second Lien Agent without its consent.
 
5.4 Rights As Unsecured Creditors . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Second Lien Agent and the other Noteholders may exercise rights and remedies as an unsecured creditor against the Borrower and its subsidiaries in accordance with the terms of the Noteholder Documents and applicable law. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Lien Agent or any other Noteholder of the required payments of interest on and principal of the Notes so long as such receipt is (a) not the direct or indirect result of the exercise by the Second Lien Agent or any other Noteholder of rights or remedies as a secured creditor or enforcement of any Lien held by any of them in contravention of this Agreement and (b) permitted by the terms of the Indenture. In the event the Second Lien Agent or any other Noteholder becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing First Lien Debt on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Noteholder Debt are so subordinated to such First Lien Debt under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement modifies any rights or remedies the First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Lender may have with respect to the Collateral.
 
5.5 Bailee for Perfection .
 
           (a)   The Second Lien Agent hereby appoints the First Lien Agent to hold, and the First Lien Agent accepts such appointment and agrees to hold, all of the Collateral in the First Lien Agent’s possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) as bailee and agent for the benefit and on behalf of the Second Lien Agent and Noteholders, solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted in such Collateral pursuant to the Noteholder Collateral Documents, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 5.5.
 
 
 

 
 
           (b) Until the First Lien Lender Termination Date, the First Lien Agent shall be entitled to deal with the Collateral in their possession or control in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Lender Documents. The rights of the Second Lien Agent shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement and to the First Lien Agent’s rights under the First Lien Lender Documents.

           (c) The First Lien Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Second Lien Agent or any other Noteholder to assure that the Collateral in the First Lien Agent’s possession or control is genuine or owned by any Obligor or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 5.5 . The duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Agent under this Section 5.5 shall be limited solely to holding the Collateral in its possession or control as bailee for the Second Lien Agent for purposes of perfecting the Lien held by the Second Lien Agent and to using the same degree of care with respect to such Collateral as the First Lien Agent uses for similar property pledged to it as collateral for indebtedness generally.

           (d) The First Lien Agent shall not have by reason of the Noteholder Collateral Documents or this Agreement or any other document a fiduciary relationship in respect of the Second Lien Agent or any other Noteholder.
 
           (e) Upon the First Lien Lender Termination Date, the First Lien Agent shall deliver to the Second Lien Agent the Collateral in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the Second Lien Agent to obtain control of such Collateral), or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

5.6 When Discharge of First Lien Debt Deemed to Not Have Occurred . If at any time after one of the events described in the definition of the First Lien Lender Termination Date has occurred the Obligors, either in connection therewith or thereafter, enter into any Refinancing of any First Lien Lender Document evidencing First Lien Debt, then such event described in the definition of First Lien Lender Termination Date shall automatically be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes of this Agreement (other than with respect to any actions taken prior to the date of such designation as a result of the occurrence of such event), and the obligations under such Refinancing shall automatically be treated as First Lien Debt for all purposes of this Agreement, including without limitation for purposes of the Lien priorities and rights in respect of Collateral set forth herein and the First Lien Agent under such Refinanced First Lien Lender Documents shall be the First Lien Agent for all purposes of this Agreement. Upon receipt of written notice of such designation (including the identity of the new First Lien Agent thereunder), the Second Lien Agent shall, at the expense of the Borrower, promptly deliver to the First Lien Agent any Collateral in the Second Lien Agent’s possession and control together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the First Lien Agent to obtain control of such Collateral).
 
 
 

 
 
Section 6. Insolvency Proceedings .
 
6.1 Insolvency Proceedings Generally . This Agreement shall be applicable both before and after the filing of any petition by or against any Obligor under the Bankruptcy Code or the commencement of any other Insolvency Proceedings and all converted or succeeding cases in respect thereof, and all references herein to any Obligor shall be deemed to apply to the trustee for any Obligor and any Obligor as debtor-in-possession. The relative rights of the First Lien Agent and Second Lien Agent in or to any distributions from or in respect of any Collateral or proceeds of Collateral shall continue after the filing of such petition on the same basis as prior to the date of the petition, subject to any court order approving the financing of, or use of cash collateral by, any Obligor as debtor-in-possession.
 
6.2 Financing Issues . If any Obligor shall be subject to any Insolvency Proceeding and the First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Lender shall desire to permit the use of cash collateral that constitutes Collateral or to permit any Obligor to obtain financing under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code that is to be secured by any of the Collateral (“ DIP Financing ”), and if (x) the DIP Financing is secured by Liens on the Collateral that are senior to or pari passu with the Liens of the First Lien Lenders on the Collateral and (y) to the extent the First Lien Lenders receive additional or replacement liens on post-petition assets in connection with such DIP Financing and the Second Lien Agent, for the benefit of the Noteholders, receives additional or replacement liens on such post-petition assets that are junior and subordinate to the First Lien Lenders’ replacement liens to the same extent as the Second Lien Agent’s Liens on the Collateral are junior and subordinate to the First Lien Lenders’ Liens on the Collateral, then the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Noteholders, agrees that (a) it will not raise any objection to such use of cash collateral or DIP Financing; provided that the Second Lien Agent may object to such DIP Financing if (A) any such cash collateral use or DIP Financing compels any Obligor to seek confirmation of a specific Plan of Reorganization for which all or substantially all of the material terms are set forth in the cash collateral order or DIP Financing documentation, (B) the terms of such DIP Financing or cash collateral use require any Obligor to seek approval for any Plan of Reorganization that is not a Conforming Plan of Reorganization, or (C) the terms of such DIP Financing require the Noteholders to extend additional credit pursuant to such DIP Financing, (b) it will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith that is not otherwise permissable under Section 6.4, and (c) it will subordinate its Liens in the Collateral to such DIP Financing (and all obligations secured thereby) on the same basis as the Liens securing the Noteholder Debt are subordinated to the Liens securing First Lien Debt under this Agreement.

6.3 Relief from the Automatic Stay . The Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Noteholders, agrees that, until the First Lien Lender Termination Date, none of them shall seek relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agent and the Required Lenders.
 
6.4 Adequate Protection . The Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Noteholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person in contesting) (a) any request by the First Lien Agent or any of the other First Lien Lenders for adequate protection or (b) any objection by the First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Lender to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Lender claiming a lack of adequate protection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency Proceeding, (i) if the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Lenders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of replacement Liens or Liens on additional Collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of its cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, then the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself or any other Noteholder, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a replacement Lien or a Lien on such additional Collateral (as applicable), which Lien is subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Debt and such DIP Financing (and all obligations secured thereby) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Noteholder Debt are so subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Debt under this Agreement, (ii) if the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Lenders (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority administrative claim in connection with any DIP Financing or use of its cash collateral under Section 363 or Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, then   the Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself or any other Noteholder, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a superpriority administrative claim, which claim is subordinated to the superpriority claims granted to the First Lien Agent on the same basis as the other claims of the Noteholders are so subordinated to the claims of the First Lien Lenders under this Agreement, (iii) if, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Second Lien Agent or any other Noteholder is granted a replacement Lien or a Lien on additional Collateral and/or a superpriority administrative claim as adequate protection for the Noteholder Debt, but the First Lien Agent is not granted a senior and prior Lien on the same Collateral or a senior and/or prior administrative claim with respect to the First Lien Debt (as applicable), then until the First Lien Lender Termination Date, such replacement Lien or Lein on additional Collateral and/or superpriority administrative claim (as applicable) shall be assigned to the First Lien Agent for application to the First Lien Debt to the same extent and on the same terms as proceeds of the Collateral, and (iv) if the First Lien Agent or the other First Lien Lenders are granted adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current incurred fees and expenses and/or other cash payments, or otherwise with the consent of the First Lien Agent, then the Second Lien Agent and the Noteholders shall not be prohibited from seeking adequate protection in the form of payments in the amount of current incurred fees and expenses and/or other cash payments (as applicable), subject to the right of the First Lien Lenders to object to the reasonableness of the amounts of fees and expenses or other cash payments so sought by the Second Lien Agent and the Noteholders. 
 
 
 

 
 
6.5 No Waiver . Nothing contained herein shall prohibit or in any way limit the First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Lender from objecting in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Second Lien Agent or any other Noteholder, including, without limitation, action by the Second Lien Agent or any other Noteholder seeking adequate protection or asserting any of its rights and remedies under the Noteholder Documents or otherwise.
 
6.6 Avoidance Recoveries . If the First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Lender is required in any Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Obligor any amount (a “ Recovery ”), then the relevant First Lien Debt shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the First Lien Agent or such First Lien Lender shall be entitled to all of the rights and remedies with respect to such Recovery under the First Lien Lender Documents or otherwise that it would have had if it had not received the payment that formed the basis for such Recovery. If this Agreement shall have been terminated prior to such Recovery, this Agreement shall be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement.
 
6.7 Reorganization Securities . If, in any Insolvency Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed, pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of First Lien Debt and Noteholder Debt, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of First Lien Debt and Noteholder Debt are secured by Liens on the same property, the provisions of this Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations.
 
 
 

 
 
6.8 Asset Sales in Bankruptcy . The Second Lien Agent, for each of the Noteholders, agrees that it will not object to or oppose a sale or other disposition of any Collateral or other assets, properties or capital stock securing the First Lien Debt (or any portion thereof) free and clear of security interests, liens or other claims under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the First Lien Agent has consented to such sale or disposition, provided   that the Liens of the Second Lien Agent in such Collateral attach to the proceeds thereof from such sale with the same priority relative to the Liens of the First Lien Lenders as its Liens in such Collateral, and provided further that the Second Lien Agent and the Noteholders may assert any objection to such sale or other disposition that could be asserted by an unsecured creditor in any Insolvency Proceeding; without limiting the foregoing, neither the Second Lien Agent nor any other Noteholder may raise any objections based on rights afforded by Sections 363(e) and (f) of the Bankruptcy Code to secured creditors (or any comparable provisions of any other applicable bankruptcy law) with respect to the Liens granted to such person in respect of such assets.
 
6.9 Agreement Not to Commence Insolvency Proceeding . The Second Lien Agent, for and on behalf of the Noteholders, agrees not to initiate or prosecute or encourage any other person to initiate or prosecute any Insolvency Proceeding prior to the First Lien Lender Termination Date without the consent of the First Lien Agent.
 
6.10   Post-Petition Interest . The Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Noteholders, agrees that none of them shall contest (or support any other Person in contesting) any request by the First Lien Agent or any of the other First Lien Lenders for the allowance of a claim for post-petition interest (whether at the default rate or otherwise).  To the extent the First Lien Lenders are awarded or otherwise granted an allowed claim in any Insolvency Proceeding with respect to post-petition interest, nothing herein shall prevent the Second Lien Agent from seeking or otherwise asserting a claim for post-petition interest to the extent of the value of the Lien of the Second Lien Agent and the Noteholders on the Collateral (after taking into account the First Lien Debt).
 
Section 7. Second Lien Noteholders’ Purchase Option .
 
7.1 Exercise of Option . On or after the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default under the First Lien Credit Agreement and either the acceleration of all of the First Lien Debt or the receipt by the Second Lien Agent of written notice from the First Lien Agent of its intention to commence to foreclose or take any similar action to realize upon the Collateral as provided in Section 7.5 below, the Noteholders shall have the option at any time within five (5) Business Days of such acceleration or written notice, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice by the Second Lien Agent (sent at the direction of and on behalf of the Purchasing Noteholders (defined below)) to the First Lien Agent, to purchase all (but not less than all) of the First Lien Debt from the First Lien Lenders at the purchase price set forth in Section 7.3.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in connection with any such purchase and sale, the First Lien Lenders shall retain all rights under the First Lien Lender Documents to be indemnified or held harmless by the Obligors in accordance with the terms thereof.
 
7.3 Payment of Purchase Price .
 
(a) Upon the date of such purchase and sale, the Purchasing Noteholders shall (i) pay to the First Lien Agent for the account of the First Lien Lenders as the purchase price therefor the full amount of all of the First Lien Debt then outstanding and unpaid (including principal, interest, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), (ii) furnish cash collateral to the First Lien Agent in such amounts as the First Lien Agent determines is reasonably necessary to secure the First Lien Lenders in connection with any issued and outstanding letters of credit issued under the First Lien Lender Documents (but not in any event in an amount greater than one hundred five (105%) percent of the aggregate undrawn face amount of such letters of credit), (iii) agree to reimburse the First Lien Lenders for any loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) in connection with any commissions, fees, costs or expenses related to any issued and outstanding letters of credit as described above and any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the First Lien Debt, and/or as to which the First Lien Lenders have not yet received final payment, and (iv) agree to reimburse the First Lien Lenders in respect of any and all indemnification obligations of the Obligors under the First Lien Lender Documents.  (b) Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of the First Lien Agent as the First Lien Agent may designate in writing to the Purchasing Noteholders for such purpose.

7.4 Representations Upon Purchase and Sale . Such purchase shall be expressly made without representation or warranty of any kind by First Lien Lenders as to the First Lien Debt, the Collateral or otherwise and without recourse to First Lien Lenders, except that each First Lien Lender shall represent and warrant, severally, as to it: (a) the principal amount of the First Lien Debt being purchased from it are as reflected in the books and records of such First Lien Lender (but without representation or warranty as to the collectibility, validity or enforceability or any other matter in respect thereof), (b) that such First Lien Lender owns the First Lien Debt being sold by it free and clear of any liens or encumbrances and (c) such First Lien Lender has the right to assign the First Lien Debt being sold by it and the assignment is duly authorized. Upon the purchase by the Purchasing Noteholders of the First Lien Debt, the Purchasing Noteholders will enter into an agreement to indemnify and hold the First Lien Lenders harmless from and against all loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) suffered or incurred by the First Lien Lenders arising from or in any way relating to acts or omissions of the First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Lender after the purchase.

In the event that during such five (5) Business Day period, the Second Lien Agent shall send (at the direction of and on behalf of Purchasing Noteholders) to the First Lien Agent the irrevocable notice of the intention of the Purchasing Noteholders to exercise the purchase option given by the First Lien Lenders to the Purchasing Noteholders under this Section 7 , the First Lien Lenders shall not commence any foreclosure or other action to sell or otherwise realize upon the Collateral; provided that, the purchase and sale with respect to the First Lien Debt provided for herein shall have closed within five (5) Business Days thereafter and the First Lien Lenders shall have received final payment in full of the First Lien Debt as provided for herein within such five (5) Business Day period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Exigent Circumstance exists, the First Lien Agent will give Second Lien Agent notice as soon as practicable and in any event contemporaneously with the taking of such action. As used herein “ Exigent Circumstance ” shall mean an event or circumstance that materially and imminently threatens the ability of the First Lien Agent to realize upon all or any portion of the Collateral, such as, without limitation, a competing claim, fraudulent removal, concealment, destruction (other than to the extent covered by insurance), material waste or abscondment thereof.

GenCorp Completes Acquisition of Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne from United Technologies Corporation

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – June 14, 2013 – GenCorp Inc. (NYSE: GY) announced today that it has completed the acquisition of substantially all operations of the Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne business (Rocketdyne) from United Technologies Corporation (NYSE:UTX). GenCorp will combine Rocketdyne with Aerojet-General Corporation (Aerojet), a wholly-owned subsidiary of GenCorp, and the combined businesses will operate as Aerojet Rocketdyne, Inc., headquartered in Sacramento, California.

As part of the Rocketdyne transaction, GenCorp will acquire UTC’s 50% interest in the RD Amross joint venture following receipt of Russian regulatory approvals.

“Today is an exciting milestone in the history of GenCorp. This landmark transaction signals the transformation of two rocket propulsion companies into one extraordinary opportunity for the future,” said GenCorp President and CEO, Scott Seymour. “The addition of Rocketdyne almost doubles the size of our company and provides additional growth opportunities as we build upon the complementary capabilities of each legacy company, including their talented people and innovative technologies.”

“Combined, we bring decades of history that launched the first space age and put mission-critical technology into the hands of our warfighters,” Seymour continued. “Our vision for the future is a shared one. We have the best workforce in the industry and we are committed to 100% safety and mission success as we continue to deliver performance, drive innovation and create opportunity. We will continue to be a leader in the next space age.”
