Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Convertible Note Exchange

On February 24, 2020, Endologix, Inc. (the “Company”) and three investors holding approximately $11.0 million of the principal amount of the Company’s 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Holders”) entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) providing for the exchange of the Holders’ existing notes (the “Existing Notes”) for new 5.00% Voluntary Convertible Senior Notes due 2024 (the “New Notes”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on the date this Form 8-K is filed, the exchanging Holders are exchanging all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest under the Existing Notes into the same amount of principal of New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange”). The New Notes are being issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 thereunder.

The New Notes will be governed by an Indenture (the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The New Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 5.00% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2020. The New Notes will mature on April 2, 2024, unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The Indenture governing the New Notes will contain customary terms and covenants and events of default.

The New Notes will be convertible at the option of each Holder into shares of common stock at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2024; provided that, except if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) and for certain other customary circumstances of conversion, each Holder may not convert more than 30% the initial aggregate principal amount of its outstanding New Notes per calendar quarter (a “Voluntary Conversion”). Beginning January 1, 2024, until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, the New Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time regardless of the conditions described in this paragraph. The initial conversion rate of the New Notes in a Voluntary Conversion is 0.4445 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1.00 principal amount of the New Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price per share equal to $2.25 (the “Conversion Price”). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Except if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) and for certain other customary circumstances of conversion, in no event prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2024 may the New Notes be converted in a calendar quarter unless the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least twenty (20) trading days during the period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 110% of the Conversion Price (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events) (the “Voluntary Conversion Threshold”).

The New Notes will be secured by the Company’s assets pursuant to a Junior Lien Security Agreement by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent (the “JLSA”). The JLSA grants a second lien on the Company’s assets that is second in priority to the security interests granted (i)_to Deerfield (as defined below), as agent, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated August 9, 2018, by and among Endologix, Inc., its subsidiaries and Deerfield, as agent, as amended to date and (ii) to Deerfield ELGX Revolver, LLC, as agent (“Deerfield ELGX”), pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2018, by and among Endologix, Inc., its subsidiaries and Deerfield ELGX, as agent. as amended to date. In connection with the issuance of the New Notes, the parties entered into Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2020, by and among the Company, Deerfield, Deerfield ELGX and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent (the “Subordination Agreement”). The Subordination Agreement contains customary provisions associated with the subordination of the security interest of the New Notes.

The Indenture will provide that in no event may a Holder convert into shares of common stock if such conversion would result in the Holder beneficially owning more that 9.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock. The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Exchange Agreement, the Subordination Agreement, the Junior Security Agreement, the Indenture and the New Notes are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of such documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.4, 10.5, 4.4 and 4.5 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Facility Agreement

On February 24, 2020, the Company entered into a February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Facility Agreement and Amendment to First Out Waterfall Notes (the “Facility Amendment”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund IV, L.P. and certain other funds managed by Deerfield Management Company, L.P. (collectively, “Deerfield”), dated August 9, 2018 (as amended to date, the “Facility Agreement”). The Facility Amendment provides for, among other things, the conversion of certain portions of the outstanding convertible debt upon the achievement of certain milestones. In addition, 8.333% (or approximately $10.7 million as of February 24, 2020) of first out waterfall loans (the “First Out Waterfall Loans”) currently due on April 2, 2021 (the “First Amortization Payment”) will be extended to July 1, 2021. In the event the Company satisfies the Initial Exchange Condition (as defined below) and provided that the Company reports net revenue of at least $142.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and complies with the global excess liquidity requirement (the “Maturity Extension Conditions”), the maturity date shall be extended from April 2, 2023 to December 22, 2023 and the second amortization date shall be extended from April 2, 2022 to April 2, 2023. Further, the Facility Amendment provides that the interest payment date due April 1, 2020 will be payable in paid-in-kind interest by increasing the principal amount of the loans by an amount equal to the interest that has accrued.


The Facility Amendment provides for the exchange of the existing notes representing the First Out Waterfall Loans for amended notes (the “Amended First Out Waterfall Notes”). The Amended First Out Waterfall Notes reduce the fixed conversion price under the existing notes from $6.625 to $2.00 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”); provided that if the Initial Exchange Condition (as defined below) is not met by June 30, 2020, then such price shall revert to $6.625. The Amended First Out Waterfall Notes provide that the Company may require Deerfield to convert up to $40,000,000 of principal amount (the “Forced Conversion Cap”) provided that the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on each of the fifteen (15) consecutive trading days ending on the conversion date (the “Forced Conversion 15 Day VWAP”), and the closing price on the conversion date, is greater than 200% of the Fixed Conversion Price into shares of the Company’s newly created Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at a price per share equal to the product of (i) the Preferred Exchange Rate (as defined below) and (ii) and 85% of the lesser of the closing price of the common stock on such conversion date (the “Closing Price”) and the Forced Conversion 15 Day VWAP, provided that such lesser price is greater than or equal to 170% of the Fixed Conversion Price and other conditions are met (each such conversion, a “Forced Conversion”). A Forced Conversion may only occur once every 31 calendar days and any individual Forced Conversion may not exceed the lesser of (i) $3,500,000 or (ii) the Forced Conversion Cap less any prior Forced Conversions or Discretionary Conversions (as defined below).

Deerfield also has the option to convert up to $60.0 million (less any amounts converted pursuant to Forced Conversions) of the Company’s outstanding debt (any such conversion, a “Discretionary Conversion”) into, at Deerfield’s option and subject to the Ownership Cap, shares of Common Stock at a rate equal to the greater of the Fixed Conversion Price and 85% of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on each of the fifteen (15) consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date (the “15 Day VWAP”), provided that such conversion price is not less than the Floor Price (the “Discretionary Common Conversion Rate”) or shares of Preferred Stock at a rate (the “Discretionary Preferred Conversion Rate”) equal to the product of (i) the Preferred Exchange Rate (as defined below) multiplied by (ii) the Discretionary Common Conversion Rate.

The Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at an initial rate of 100 shares of common stock for each share of Preferred Stock, as may be adjusted pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) (the “Preferred Exchange Rate”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, 1,105,000 shares of Preferred Stock have been authorized for issuance. The Preferred Stock does not possess any voting rights. The Preferred Stock is subject to customary adjustments for stock events. The Preferred Stock provides that in no event may Deerfield convert the Preferred Stock into shares of common stock if such conversion would result in Deerfield beneficially owning more that 4.985% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Ownership Cap”).

The Amended First Out Waterfall Notes also revises Deerfield’s existing right to convert a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the first-out waterfall loan into a maximum of 1,430,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the current conversion price to Deerfield may, at its option, convert into 1,430,000 shares of common stock at the Discretionary Common Conversion Rate, or the equivalent number of shares of Preferred Stock at the Discretionary Preferred Conversion Rate.

The Facility Amendment provides that, in the event that on or prior to the ninetieth (90th) day following the receipt of regulatory approval to sell the Company’s Ovation Alto Abdominal Stent Graft System (“Alto”) in the United States, but in any event no later than June 30, 2020, net sales of Alto shall be in excess of $1,000,000 (the “Initial Exchange Condition”), Deerfield will exchange 8.333% (or approximately $10.7 million as of February 24, 2020) of the principal amount of the First Out Waterfall Notes, including any such principal that has resulted from payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest payments made on or prior to such date, plus any accrued PIK interest thereon through such exchange date into shares of Preferred Stock (the “Initial Exchange”) at a rate equal to the Preferred Exchange Rate multiplied by $0.8282 (the “Floor Price”). In addition, upon consummation of the Initial Note Exchange, payment of the remaining portion of the First Amortization Payment will be extended until the Second Amortization Date (as defined in the Facility Agreement) and maturity date in accordance with the Facility Agreement.

In addition, in the event that the Initial Exchange has occurred and the Company completes the first submission to the FDA of a full PMA application with respect to the Nellix EVAS System on or prior to September 30, 2021, Deerfield will exchange $2,500,000 into shares of Preferred Stock (the “Nellix Submission Exchange”) at a rate (the “Conditional Exchange Rate”) equal to the product of the (i) Preferred Exchange Rate multiplied by (ii) the 85% of the lesser of (x) the Closing Price and (y) the 15 Day VWAP (the “Conditional Price”). In the event that the Initial Exchange and the Nellix Submission Exchange have occurred and the Company receives the PMA from the FDA with respect to the Nellix EVAS System as shall be necessary for the sale of the Nellix EVAS System in the United States on or prior to June 30, 2022 (the “Nellix Approval Exchange Condition”), Deerfield will exchange $7,500,000 into shares of Preferred Stock (the “Nellix Approval Exchange”) at the Conditional Exchange Rate. In the event that the Initial Exchange, the Nellix Submission Exchange and the Nellix Approval Exchange have occurred and net sales of the Nellix EVAS System are in excess of $10,000,000 within nine months of satisfaction of the Nellix Approval Exchange Condition, Deerfield will exchange $10,000,000 into shares of Preferred Stock (the “Nellix Sales Exchange”) at the Conditional Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the above, none of the foregoing exchanges shall take place if the Conditional Price at the time of such exchange is less than the Floor Price.


The Facility Amendment provides that if, during the period beginning on the first business day following satisfaction of the Initial Exchange Condition and ending on the date that is three months thereafter, the Company completes an equity financing resulting in net proceeds to the Company of at least $5,000,000, and subject to certain other conditions set forth in the Facility Amendment, then Deerfield will exchange $0.50 of principal of First Out Waterfall Notes for each $1 of net proceeds up to an aggregate of $20 million in net proceeds into shares of Preferred Stock at a rate equal to the Preferred Exchange Rate multiplied by the lowest price per share of common stock purchased in such financing, provided that such price per share is not less than the Floor Price. Deerfield would also receive the number of such other securities, if any, issued with each share of common stock sold in such financing for each as-converted share of Common Stock issued to Deerfield.

Further, the Facility Amendment also provides, upon signing, the Company shall pay a restructuring fee of $2,000,000 in cash or a combination of shares of common stock at the Floor Price and shares of Preferred Stock at a rate equal to the product of the Floor Price multiplied by the Preferred Exchange Rate. The Company elected to satisfy the fee by issuing 950,000 shares of common stock and 14,648.75 shares of Preferred Stock at signing.

The Facility Amendment provides that, upon the satisfaction of the Initial Exchange Condition, the Company will amend the outstanding warrants (the “Warrant Amendment”) to purchase 647,001 shares of common stock previously issued to Deerfield pursuant to the Company’s prior facility agreement with Deerfield dated April 3, 2017 (as amended, the “2017 Warrants”) and warrants to purchase 875,001 shares of common stock previously issued to Deerfield pursuant to the Facility Agreement (as amended, the “2018 Warrants” and, together with the 2017 Warrants, the “Warrants”) to reduce the exercise price of the Warrants to $1.50. All other material terms and conditions of the Warrants remain the same. 

The Facility Amendment also provides that, upon completion of the Initial Note Exchange, the remaining interest payments on the First Out Waterfall Notes will be due monthly. For 18 months beginning with the first calendar month following completion of the Initial Note Exchange the Company will, subject to certain conditions precedent, make such interest payments in shares of Preferred Stock at a rate equal to the product of (i) the Preferred Exchange Rate as of the interest payment date multiplied by (ii) ninety percent (90%) of the lesser of (a) the closing price on the date immediately preceding the interest payment date and (b) the 15 Day VWAP immediately preceding the interest payment date.

Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement

On February 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Credit Amendment”) with Deerfield ELGX Revolver, LLC and certain funds managed by Deerfield Management Company, L.P., dated as of August 9, 2018 (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Amendment includes conforming revisions to reflect the changes in the Facility Amendment. In addition, the Credit Amendment provides that if the Company satisfies the Maturity Extension Conditions, the credit agreement maturity date will extend to the earlier of (i) December 22, 2023 or (ii) the date the loans pursuant to the Facility Agreement have been repaid in full.

The foregoing descriptions of the terms of the Credit Amendment, the Facility Amendment, the First Out Waterfall Note and the Certificate of Designation are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of such documents, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 10.2, 10.3, 4.1 and 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K

b) In the event the Corporation shall declare a distribution on the Common Stock payable in securities of other Persons, evidences of indebtedness issued by the Corporation or other Persons, Common Stock Equivalents or other assets (excluding cash dividends distributed in accordance with Section 3(a)), including options or rights to purchase any such securities or evidences of indebtedness or securities convertible into any of the foregoing, then, in each such case the holders of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall be entitled to a proportionate share of any such distribution pursuant to this Section 3(b) as though they were the holders of the number of shares of Common Stock of the Corporation into which their shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock are convertible based on the then-effective Conversion Rate (without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) as of the record date fixed for the determination of the holders of Common Stock of the Corporation entitled to receive such distribution. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) any distribution on the Common Stock in the form of Common Stock shall be subject to the terms of Section 7(a) and not this Section 3(b), and (ii) the conversion, exchange or exercise of any Common Stock Equivalent distributed in respect of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock into or for Common Stock shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6(c) hereof, as if incorporated directly in such Common Stock Equivalent, mutatis mutandis.

Section 4. Voting Rights. Except as otherwise provided herein or as otherwise required by the DGCL, the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights. However, as long as any shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock are outstanding, without the affirmative vote or written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall not, directly or indirectly, whether by or through any subsidiary and whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, (a) alter or change, directly or indirectly, the powers, preferences or rights of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock so as to affect

 

5


them adversely or otherwise alter or amend this Certificate of Designation; provided that this clause (a) shall not require the affirmative vote or written consent of the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock as to the designation or issuance of any Senior Securities, Parity Securities or Junior Securities, (b) increase the number of authorized shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, or (c) amend, modify or repeal any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws in a manner that would adversely affect or otherwise impair the rights of the Holders pursuant to this Certificate of Designation relative to the holders of Common Stock. Notwithstanding any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or the Corporation’s bylaws to the contrary, any vote of the holders of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock required under the terms of the DGCL, this Certificate of Designation or otherwise may be taken by written consent or electronic transmission.

Section 5. Rank; Liquidation.

a) Rank. The Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall rank (i) senior to all of the Common Stock; (ii) senior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms junior to any Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (“Junior Securities”); (iii) on parity with the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock and with any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation created specifically ranking by its terms on parity with the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (“Parity Securities”); and (iv) junior to any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation hereafter created specifically ranking by its terms senior to any Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (“Senior Securities”), in each case, as to dividends or distributions of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntarily or involuntarily (all such distributions being referred to collectively as “Distributions”).

b) Liquidation, Dissolution, or Winding Up. Subject to any superior liquidation rights of the holders of any Senior Securities of the Corporation, upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, each Holder shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to stockholders, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets or surplus funds of the Corporation to the holders of the Common Stock and Junior Securities and pari passu with any distribution to the holders of Parity Securities, an amount equal to the Series DF-1 Liquidation Amount for each share of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock held by such Holder, plus an amount equal to any dividends declared but unpaid thereon, before any payments shall be made or any assets distributed to holders of any class of Common Stock or Junior Securities, and thereafter the Holders of the outstanding shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distributions and payments of any remaining assets of the Corporation, on an as converted basis (based on the then effective Conversion Rate and without giving effect to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation or any other limitations on conversion set forth herein), with the holders of Common Stock and with the holders of shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to share in such remaining assets of the Corporation on an as converted to Common Stock basis with the holders of Common Stock.

Section 6. Conversion.

 

6


a) Conversions at Option of Holder. Shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time and from time to time from and after the date of issuance, at the option of the Holder thereof, into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at the rate of 100 shares of Common Stock for each share of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock held by such Holder, subject to adjustment as provided herein (the “Conversion Rate”). Holders shall effect conversions by providing the Corporation with the form of conversion notice attached hereto as Annex A (a “Notice of Conversion”) duly completed and executed. The Notice of Conversion shall specify the number of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock to be converted. The “Conversion Date,” or the date on which a conversion shall be deemed effective, shall be defined as the Trading Day that the Notice of Conversion, completed and executed, is sent by electronic mail or facsimile to, and received during regular business hours by, the Corporation. The calculations and entries set forth in the Notice of Conversion shall control in the absence of verifiable or mathematical error. Shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock converted into Common Stock in accordance with the terms hereof shall be canceled and shall not be reissued. Shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock so converted shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no longer be designated as Series DF-1 Preferred Stock as set forth in Section 8(h). The Holder shall not be required to physically surrender the certificate(s) representing the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock to the Corporation until all shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock represented by such certificate(s) have been converted in full, in which case the Holder shall surrender such certificate(s) to the Corporation for cancellation within three (3) Trading Days of the date the final Notice of Conversion is delivered to the Corporation. Execution and delivery of a Notice of Conversion with respect to a partial conversion shall have the same effect as cancellation of the original certificate(s) representing such shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock and issuance of a certificate representing the remaining shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock. In accordance with the preceding sentence, upon the written request of the Holder and the surrender of certificate(s) representing Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall, within three (3) Trading Days of such request, deliver to the Holder certificate(s) (as specified by the Holder in such request) representing such remaining shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock. For purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, any Conversion Shares issued to a Holder shall be deemed to have been acquired by such Holder on April 3, 2017. Accordingly, (A) upon any conversion of any shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, the Rule 144 holding period for the Conversion Shares acquired thereupon shall be in excess of one (1) year, and (B) provided the Holder is not an Affiliate of the Corporation on the Conversion Date and has not been an Affiliate of the Corporation within the three-month period immediately preceding the Conversion Date, which the Corporation shall assume and the Holder shall be deemed to represent unless the Holder advises the Corporation otherwise in writing, the Conversion Shares issued to the Holder will be freely transferable, without restriction or limitation (including any volume limitation) under Federal or state securities laws, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and will not contain or be subject to a legend or stop transfer order restricting the resale or transferability of thereof.

b) [Reserved]

c) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to the last sentence of this Section 6(c), the Corporation shall not effect any

 

7


conversion of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, and a Holder shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, to the extent that, after giving effect to an attempted conversion set forth on the applicable Notice of Conversion, such Holder together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, including any “group” of which the Holder is a member, would beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Delivery of a Notice of Conversion by a Holder in respect of the conversion of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall constitute a representation by such Holder that the issuance of shares of Common Stock in accordance with such Notice of Conversion will not cause such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Person whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with such Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the applicable regulations of the Commission) to beneficially own a number of shares of Common Stock in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, as determined in accordance with this Certificate of Designation. For purposes of this Section 6(a), the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder and its Affiliates shall include the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock subject to the Notice of Conversion with respect to which such determination is being made, but shall exclude the number of shares of Common Stock which are issuable upon (A) conversion of the remaining, unconverted Series DF-1 Preferred Stock beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates, and (B) exercise, exchange or conversion of the unexercised, unexchanged or unconverted portion of any other securities of the Corporation subject to a limitation on conversion, exchange or exercise analogous to the limitation contained herein (including any other class or series of Preferred Stock and warrants) beneficially owned by such Holder or any of its Affiliates. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence, for purposes of this Section 6(c), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, a determination as to any “group” status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 6(c), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as stated in the Corporation’s most recent quarterly or annual report filed with the Commission, or any current report filed by the Corporation with the Commission subsequent thereto. Upon the written request of a Holder (which may be via electronic mail), the Corporation shall within two (2) Trading Days following such request, confirm in writing via electronic mail to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. In any case, the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be determined after giving effect to any actual conversion, exchange or exercise of securities of the Corporation, including Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, by such Holder or its Affiliates since the date as of which such number of outstanding shares of Common Stock was last publicly reported. The “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” shall be 4.985% of the number of shares of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock held by the applicable Holder.

d) Mechanics of Conversion

i. Delivery of Certificate or Electronic Issuance Upon Conversion. Not later than the earlier of two (2) Trading Days and the number of Trading Days constituting the Standard Settlement Period after the applicable Conversion Date (such earlier date, the “Share Delivery Date”), the Corporation shall electronically deliver the Conversion Shares by crediting the account of the Holder’s prime broker with The Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal Custodian (“DWAC”) system. If such shares are not electronically delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the Share Delivery Date, the applicable Holder shall be entitled to elect to rescind such Notice of Conversion by written notice to the Corporation at any time on or before electronic receipt of such shares in which event the Corporation shall promptly return to such Holder any Series DF-1 Preferred Stock certificate delivered to the Corporation, and such Holder shall promptly direct the return of any shares of Common Stock delivered to the Holder through the DWAC system, representing the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Corporation; provided that the liquidated damages described in Section 6(d)(ii) shall be payable through the date such notice of rescission is given to the Corporation.

ii. Obligation Absolute; Partial Liquidated Damages. Subject to Section 6(c) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, the Corporation’s obligation to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares upon conversion of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms hereof is absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by a Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by such Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Corporation or any violation or alleged violation of law by such Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Corporation to such Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares. Subject to Section 6(c) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, in the event a Holder shall elect to convert any or all of its shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, the Corporation may not refuse conversion based on any claim that such Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with such Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock of such Holder shall have been sought and obtained, and the Corporation posts a surety bond for the benefit of such Holder in the amount of 150% of the value of the Conversion Shares into which would be converted the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock which are subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the underlying dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Holder to the extent it obtains judgment. In the absence of such injunction, the Corporation shall, subject to Section 6(c) hereof and subject to Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) above, issue

 

9


Conversion Shares upon a properly noticed conversion. If the Corporation fails to electronically deliver such shares pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) on or prior to the Share Delivery Date applicable to such conversion, the Corporation shall pay to such Holder, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the product of (x) the number of Conversion Shares issuable by the Corporation on such Share Delivery Date, (y) the Daily Failure Amount and (z) the number of Trading Days after the Share Delivery Date that such shares have not been electronically delivered. Any such amount shall be paid on or before the fifth (5th) Trading Day of each month following a month in which such amount accrued. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Corporation’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares within the period specified herein, and a Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief. The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit a Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.

iii. Compensation for Buy-In on Failure to Timely Deliver Certificates Upon Conversion. If the Corporation fails to electronically deliver Conversion Shares by the Share Delivery Date pursuant to Section 6(d)(i), and if after such Share Delivery Date such Holder is required by its brokerage firm to purchase (in an open market transaction or otherwise), or the Holder’s brokerage firm otherwise purchases, shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Holder of the Conversion Shares which such Holder was entitled to receive upon the conversion relating to such Share Delivery Date (a “Buy-In”), then the Corporation shall promptly (A) pay in cash to such Holder (in addition to any other remedies available to or elected by such Holder) the amount by which (x) such Holder’s total purchase price (including any brokerage commissions) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (y) the product of (1) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that such Holder was entitled to receive from the conversion at issue multiplied by (2) the actual sale price at which the sell order giving rise to such purchase obligation was executed (including any brokerage commissions), and (B) at the option of such Holder, either reissue (if surrendered) the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock equal to the number of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock submitted for conversion or deliver to such Holder the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been issued if the Corporation had timely complied with its delivery requirements under Section 6(d)(i). For example, if a Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock with respect to which the actual sale price (including any brokerage commissions) giving rise to such purchase obligation was a total of $10,000 under clause (A) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Corporation shall be required to pay such Holder $1,000. Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Corporation’s failure to timely deliver shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock as required pursuant to the terms hereof.

 

10


iv. Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion. The Corporation covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock and payment of dividends on the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holders of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments pursuant to Section 7 and without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation) upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock. The Corporation covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

v. Fractional Shares. No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon the conversion of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock. As to any fraction of a share which a Holder would otherwise be entitled to receive upon such conversion, the Corporation shall round up to the next whole share.

vi. Taxes. The Corporation shall be responsible for paying, and the issuance of certificates for shares of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall be made without charge to any Holder for, any stamp, court or documentary, intangible, filing or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issuance or delivery thereof.

vii. Status as Preferred Stockholder. Effective as of the delivery by a Holder of the Notice of Conversion by such Holder by facsimile or electronic mail, as provided herein, subject to Section 6(c) hereof, (A) the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock being converted shall be deemed converted into shares of Common Stock, (B) such Holder shall be deemed the Holder or record of such applicable Conversion Shares, and (C) subject to a Holder’s right to rescind a Notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 6(d)(i), such Holder’s rights as a Holder of such converted shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall cease and terminate, excepting only the right to receive electronic delivery of such shares, and to any remedies provided herein or otherwise available at law or in equity to such Holder because of a failure by the Corporation to comply with the terms of this Certificate of Designation. In all cases, the Holder shall retain all of its rights and remedies for the Corporation’s failure to convert Series DF-1 Preferred Stock.

Section 7. Certain Adjustments.

a) Stock Dividends and Stock Splits. If the Corporation, at any time after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date: (A) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock or any other Common Stock Equivalents (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Corporation upon conversion of this Series DF-1 Preferred

 

11


Stock); (B) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares; (C) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares; or (D) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, then the Conversion Rate shall be multiplied by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (or in the event that clause (D) of this Section 7(a) shall apply, shares of reclassified capital stock), outstanding immediately after such event (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately before such event. Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 7(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive any such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re-classification.

b) Fundamental Transaction. If, at any time while this Series DF-1 Preferred Stock is outstanding, (i) the Corporation, directly or indirectly in one or more related transactions, effects any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another Person (other than a merger in which the Corporation is the surviving or continuing entity and its capital stock outstanding immediately prior to the merger or consolidation is not exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or other property), (ii) the Corporation, directly or indirectly in one or more related transactions, effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions and distributes the proceeds thereof to its stockholders, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Corporation or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Corporation, directly or indirectly in one or more related transactions, effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant (other than as a result of a dividend, subdivision or combination covered by Section 7(a) above) to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case covered by any of clauses (i) through (iv) of this Section 7(b), a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon the effectiveness of such Fundamental Transaction, each Holder of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall receive for each Conversion Share that would have been issuable upon such conversion immediately prior to the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction (without regard to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation), the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of one share of Common Stock (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any conversion of any shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, the determination of the Conversion Rate shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one share of Common Stock in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Corporation shall adjust the Conversion Rate in a reasonable manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of Common Stock are given any choice as to the securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Holders shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any conversion of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock in connection with such Fundamental Transaction on the same terms and conditions as given to the holders of Common

 

12


Stock. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, the Corporation shall cause any successor to the Corporation or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction (or any direct or indirect parent entity thereof) to assume in writing all of the obligations of the Corporation under this Certificate in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7(b) pursuant to written agreements in form and substance approved by the holders of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock prior to such Fundamental Transaction. The Corporation shall not have the power to enter into any agreement to which the Corporation or any of its Affiliates is a party and pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected unless such agreement shall include terms in compliance with the provisions of this Section 7(b).

c) Calculations. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 7, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Corporation) issued and outstanding.

d) Notice to the Holders.

i. Adjustment to Conversion Rate. Whenever the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 7, the Corporation shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

ii. Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder. If (A) the Corporation shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Corporation shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Corporation shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Corporation shall be required in connection with any Fundamental Transaction, or (E) the Corporation shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation or any Fundamental Transaction, then, in each case, the Corporation shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, and shall cause to be delivered to each Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the stock books of the Corporation, at the same time any notice related to any such transaction is delivered to the holders of Common Stock, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants or Fundamental Transaction, or any vote of stockholders in respect thereof, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined, and (y) in the case of any Fundamental Transaction, the date on which such Fundamental Transaction is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to

 

13


exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such Fundamental Transaction; provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.

Section 8. Miscellaneous.

a) Notice. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holders hereunder including any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by electronic mail (to vmahboob@endologix.com), or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Corporation, at its principal place of business, to the attention of the Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation, or such other electronic mail address or address as the Corporation may specify for such purposes by notice to the Holders delivered in accordance with this Section 8. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Corporation hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by confirmed electronic mail or facsimile, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the electronic mail address, facsimile number or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Corporation, or if no such facsimile number or address appears on the books of the Corporation, at the principal place of business of such Holder. Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the time and date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via electronic mail to the e-mail address specified in this Section 8, (ii) the first Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iii) otherwise upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

b) Absolute Obligation. Except as expressly provided herein, no provision of this Certificate of Designation shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay liquidated damages on the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock at the time, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

c) Lost or Mutilated Series DF-1 Preferred Stock Certificate. If a Holder’s Series DF-1 Preferred Stock certificate shall be mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Corporation shall execute and deliver, in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of a mutilated certificate, or in lieu of or in substitution for a lost, stolen or destroyed certificate, a new certificate for the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock so mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, but only upon receipt of evidence of such loss, theft or destruction of such certificate, and of the ownership thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Corporation and, in each case, customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested.

d) Waiver. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder of a breach of any provision of this Certificate of Designation shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Certificate of Designation or a waiver by any other Holder. The failure of the Corporation or a Holder to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Certificate of Designation on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party (or any other Holder) of the right thereafter

 

14


to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Certificate of Designation. Any waiver by the Corporation or a Holder must be in writing. Notwithstanding any provision in this Certificate of Designation to the contrary, any provision contained herein (other than Section 6(c), which cannot be waived by the Holders) and any right of the Holders of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock granted hereunder may be waived as to all shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (and the Holders thereof) upon the affirmative vote or written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the then outstanding shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, unless a higher percentage is required by the DGCL, in which case the affirmative consent or written consent of the Holders of not less than such higher percentage shall be required.

e) Severability. If any provision of this Certificate of Designation is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the balance of this Certificate of Designation shall remain in effect, and if any provision is inapplicable to any Person or circumstance, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other Persons and circumstances. If it shall be found that any amount deemed interest due hereunder violates the applicable law governing usury, the applicable rate of interest due hereunder shall automatically be lowered to equal the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable law.

f) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment or other obligation hereunder shall be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

g) Headings. The headings contained herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Certificate of Designation and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.

h) Status of Converted Series DF-1 Preferred Stock. If any shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall have been converted into shares of Common Stock or reacquired by the Corporation, such shares shall resume the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock and shall no longer be designated as Series DF-1 Preferred Stock.

i) Determinations Made by Accountants. In the case of an inability of the Corporation and the holders of a majority of outstanding shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock to reach a mutual agreement as to any arithmetic calculation hereunder, the Corporation or the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall submit to the other their arithmetic calculations via electronic transmission within two (2) Trading Days of receipt, or deemed receipt, of any notice or other event giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be. If such Holder(s) and the Corporation are unable to agree upon such calculation within two (2) Trading Days after the submission of such disputed calculation, then the Corporation shall, within two (2) Trading Days thereafter, submit via electronic transmission the disputed arithmetic calculation, to an independent, reputable registered public accounting firm selected by the Corporation and approved by such Holder(s), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The accountants shall perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Corporation and such Holder(s) of the results no later than five (5) Trading Days from the time it receives from the Corporation and such Holder(s) their respective calculations. Such

 

15


accountants’ determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent verifiable error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of an inability of the Corporation and the Holder of any outstanding shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock submitted for conversion to reach a mutual determination as to the Conversion Rate applicable to such shares as contemplated by the applicable Notice of Conversion, if requested by the Holder submitting such Notice of Conversion, the Corporation shall issue to such Holder the Conversion Shares, if any, that are not in dispute in accordance with the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, any determinations made by the accountants, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 8(i) shall be deemed to be “facts ascertainable” outside of this Certificate of Designation within the meaning of Sections 102(d) and 151(a) of the DGCL and shall not be deemed to be a determination in or relating to arbitration or made by an arbitrator.

The Conversion Notice shall designate the Voluntary Conversion as (X) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2(f), either an Elective Conversion or a Discretionary Conversion, and (Y) either a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion or a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion.

(ii) Borrower’s Response. Upon receipt or deemed receipt by the Borrower of a copy of a Conversion Notice in respect of a Voluntary Conversion, the Borrower shall immediately send, via facsimile or electronic mail, a confirmation of receipt of such Conversion Notice to the Lender and, in the case of a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion, the Borrower’s designated transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”), which confirmation to the Transfer Agent shall constitute an instruction to the Transfer Agent to process the Common Stock Voluntary Conversion (or Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion to be effected electronically by the Transfer Agent as provided below) in accordance with the terms herein. In the case of a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion, on or before the second (2nd) Business Day (or, if earlier, the end of the standard settlement period for U.S. broker-dealer securities transactions) following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the Borrower of the Conversion Notice, the Transfer Agent shall credit such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled to the Lender’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled (such delivery deadline, the “CSVC Delivery Deadline”). In the case of a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion, on or before 8.30 a.m., New York City time, on the first (1nd) Business Day following the date of receipt or deemed receipt by the

 

A - 8


Borrower of the Conversion Notice (such delivery deadline, the “PSVC Delivery Deadline”), the Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Lender or its designee certificates representing the aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled; provided, that, for purposes of this sentence, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied such requirement by the Borrower’s initial email delivery to the Lender, on or before the PSVC Delivery Deadline, of a .pdf copy of the front and back of each such certificate, followed promptly, and in no event later than the second (2nd) Business Day following the receipt or deemed receipt by the Borrower of the Conversion Notice, by delivery to the Lender of the original certificates. In the case of a Forced Conversion, on or before 8.30 a.m., New York City time, on the first Business Day following the date of Lender’s delivery of the Forced Conversion Notice, the Borrower shall issue and deliver to the Lender or its designee certificates representing the aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled (such delivery deadline; the CSVC Delivery Deadline or the PSVC Delivery Deadline, as applicable, being referred to as the “Share Delivery Date”); provided, that, for purposes of this sentence, the Borrower shall be deemed to have satisfied such requirement by the Borrower’s initial email delivery to the Lender, on or before the CSVC Delivery Deadline, of a .pdf copy of the front and back of each such certificate, followed promptly, and in no event later than the second (2nd) Business Day following the receipt or deemed receipt by the Borrower of the Conversion Notice, by delivery to the Lender of the original certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time of any Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion, the Transfer Agent is a “qualified custodian” (as defined in Rule 206(4)-2 (or successor thereto) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended), in lieu of the Borrower’s delivering certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable upon such Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion, the Transfer Agent (acting as the transfer agent for the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock) shall, on or before the Share Delivery Date, electronically credit the aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Lender shall be entitled by book-entry in the name of the Lender or its designee on the books and records of the Transfer Agent and deliver a statement thereof to the Lender. If, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2(c)(vi), the Lender elects to physically surrender this Note for conversion and the Principal represented by this Note is greater than the Principal being converted, then the Borrower shall, as soon as practicable and in no event later than three (3) Business Days after receipt of this Note and at its own expense, issue and deliver to the Lender a new Note representing the Principal not converted and cancel this Note. For purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, any Conversion Shares issued to Lender shall be deemed to have been acquired by such Lender on April 3, 2017 (the date this Note was originally issued). Accordingly, (A) upon any conversion of this Note, the Rule 144 holding period for the Conversion Shares acquired thereupon shall be in excess of one (1) year, and (B) provided the Lender is not an Affiliate of the Borrower on the Conversion Date and has not been an Affiliate of the Borrower within the three-month period immediately preceding the Conversion Date (the “Unrestricted Condition”), which the Borrower shall assume and Lender hereby represents unless the Lender advises the Borrower otherwise in writing, the Conversion Shares issued to Lender will be freely transferable, without restriction or limitation (including any volume limitation) under Federal or state securities laws, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act and will not contain or be subject to a legend or stop transfer order restricting the resale or transferability of thereof.

 

A - 9


(iii) Dispute Resolution. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate, the Borrower shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue to the Lender the number of Conversion Shares that is not disputed and shall transmit an explanation of the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations to the Lender via facsimile within two (2) Business Days of receipt or deemed receipt of the Lender’s Conversion Notice or other date of determination. If the Lender and the Borrower are unable to agree upon the determination of the Conversion Price or arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate within one (1) Business Day of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being transmitted to the Lender, then the Borrower shall promptly (and in any event within two (2) Business Days) submit via facsimile (A) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price to an independent, reputable investment banking firm agreed to by the Borrower and the Required Lenders, or (B) the disputed arithmetic calculation of the Conversion Rate to the Borrower’s independent registered public accounting firm, as the case may be. The Borrower shall direct the investment bank or the accounting firm, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Borrower and the Lender of the results no later than two (2) Business Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accounting firm’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent manifest error, and the fees and expenses of such investment bank or accountant shall be paid one-half by the Borrower and one-half by the Lender. Notwithstanding the existence of a dispute contemplated by this paragraph, if requested by the Lender, the Borrower shall issue to the Lender the Conversion Shares not in dispute in accordance with the terms hereof.

(iv) Record Holder. The Conversion Shares issuable upon a conversion of this Note shall be deemed to have been issued to the Person or Persons entitled to receive such Conversion Shares, and such Person or Persons shall be treated for all purposes as the legal and record holder or holders of such Conversion Shares, entitled to all rights (including, in the case of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, conversion rights) of a holder thereof, (A) in the case of a Voluntary Conversion, upon delivery by the Lender of the Conversion Notice, (B) in the case of a Forced Conversion, upon delivery by the Borrower to the Lender of the Forced Conversion Notice, or (C) in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which (whether in connection with a Voluntary Conversion or a Forced Conversion) is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute.

(v) Borrower’s Failure to Timely Convert.

(A) Cash Damages. If by the Share Delivery Date, the Transfer Agent shall fail to credit the Lender’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC with (or, in the case of a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion, the Borrower or the Transfer Agent, as applicable, shall fail to issue and deliver to the Lender or its designee certificates or a book-entry statement, as applicable, representing) the applicable number of Conversion Shares (free of any restrictive legend in the case of a Forced Conversion or, provided the Unrestricted Condition is satisfied, in the case of a Voluntary Conversion) and such failure is

not cured within one (1) Trading Day following such Share Delivery Date (the “Share Delivery Date Cure Period”), then, in addition to all other available remedies that the Lender may pursue hereunder and under the Facility Agreement, the Borrower shall pay additional damages to the Lender for each day after the Share Delivery Date Cure Period such conversion is not timely effected in an amount equal to one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the product of (I) the number of Conversion Shares not issued to the Lender or its designee on or prior to the Share Delivery Date (or in the case of a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Conversion Shares to which the Lender is entitled, without giving effect to any limitations on conversion thereof) and (II) the Volume Weighted Average Price on the Share Delivery Date. Alternatively in lieu of the foregoing damages, subject to Section 2(c)(iii), at the written election of the Lender made in the Lender’s sole discretion, if, on or after the applicable Conversion Date, the Lender purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Lender of Conversion Shares (or, in the case of a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion, shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Conversion Shares) that such Lender anticipated receiving from the Borrower (such purchased shares, “Buy-In Shares”), the Borrower shall be obligated to promptly pay to the Lender (in addition to all other available remedies that the Lender may otherwise have), 110% of the amount by which (A) the Lender’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for such Buy-In Shares exceeds (B) the net proceeds received by the Lender from the sale of a number of shares equal to up to the number of Conversion Shares (or, in the case of a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion, number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Conversion Shares, without giving effect to any limitations on conversion thereof) such Lender was entitled to receive but had not received on the Share Delivery Date. If the Borrower fails to pay the additional damages set forth in this Section 2(c)(v)(A) within five (5) Business Days of the date incurred, then the Lender entitled to such payments shall have the right at any time, so long as the Borrower continues to fail to make such payments, to require the Borrower, upon written notice, to immediately issue, in lieu of such cash damages, the number of shares of Common Stock (in the case of a failure relating to a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion), shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (in the case of a failure relating to a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion) or shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (in the case of a failure relating to a Forced Conversion) equal to the quotient of (X) the aggregate amount of the damages payments described herein divided by (Y) the Conversion Price applicable to the conversion to which the additional damages relate.

(B) Conversion Failure. If for any reason the Lender has not received all of the Conversion Shares it is entitled to prior to the tenth (10th) Business Day after the Share Delivery Date with respect to a conversion of this Note (a “Conversion Failure”), then the Lender, upon written notice to the Borrower (a “Void Conversion Notice”), may void its conversion (or, in the case of a Forced Conversion, the Borrower’s conversion) with respect to, and retain or have returned, as the case may be, any portion of this Note that has not been converted pursuant to the Lender’s Conversion Notice (or, in the case of a Forced Conversion, the Borrower’s Forced Conversion Notice); provided, that the voiding of the Lender’s Conversion Notice (or the Borrower’s Forced Conversion Notice) shall not affect the Borrower’s obligations to make any payments that have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to Section 2(c)(v)(A) or otherwise. A Conversion Failure shall constitute an Event of Default under

 

A - 11


the Facility Agreement and entitle the Lenders to all payments and remedies provided under the Facility Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

(vi) Book-Entry. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, upon conversion, repayment or exchange of this Note in accordance with the terms hereof, the Facility Agreement or the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment, the Lender shall not be required to physically surrender this Note to the Borrower unless all of the Principal is being converted or repaid. The Lender and the Borrower shall maintain records showing the Principal converted, repaid or exchanged and the dates of such conversions, repayments or exchanges or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Lender and the Borrower, so as not to require physical surrender of this Note upon any such partial conversion or repayment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Note is converted, repaid or exchanged as aforesaid, the Lender may not transfer this Note unless the Lender first physically surrenders this Note to the Borrower, whereupon the Borrower will forthwith issue and deliver upon the order of the Lender a new Note of like tenor, registered as the Lender may request, representing in the aggregate the remaining Principal represented by this Note. The Lender and any assignee, by acceptance of this Note, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion, repayment or exchange of any portion of this Note, the Principal of this Note may be less than the “Principal Amount” stated on the face hereof.

(vii) Taxes. Without limiting Section 10, the Borrower shall pay any and all taxes (excluding income taxes, franchise taxes or other taxes levied on gross earnings, profits or the like of the Lender) that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note.

(d) [Reserved].

(e) Forced Conversion.

(i) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 2, including the Forced Conversion Conditions (as defined below) and the limitations set forth in this Section 2(e) and in Section 2(f), in the event that each of the following is greater than 200% of the Fixed Conversion Price: (i) the Volume Weighted Average Price on each Trading Day during any period of thirty (30) consecutive Trading Days commencing on or after the first Trading Day after the Initial Note Exchange Condition (as defined in the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment) has been satisfied and Borrower has certified as to such satisfaction in the Initial Note Exchange Notice (as defined in the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment) delivered to the Lenders and ending on or prior to the second Business Day immediately prior to the Maturity Date and (ii) the Closing Price on the last Trading Day of such period (the “Forced Conversion Condition”), the Borrower may cause the conversion into shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (a “Forced Conversion”) of the outstanding Principal amount of this Note set forth in a Forced Conversion Notice (as defined below); provided that such Principal amount (A) shall not exceed the lesser of (I) the Lender’s First Out Waterfall Pro Rata Share of $3,500,000, and (II) the result of the Forced Conversion Cap, minus the aggregate Principal of this Note previously converted into shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock pursuant to Discretionary Conversions and Forced Conversions after the Fourth Amendment Effective

 

A - 12


Date (such lesser amount, the “Maximum Forced Conversion Amount”), and (B) shall not be less than the least of (1) the Maximum Forced Conversion Amount, (2) the then outstanding Principal, and (3) the Lender’s First Out Waterfall Pro Rata Share of $1,000,000. The Borrower shall effect Forced Conversions under each of the First Out Waterfall Notes on a pro rata basis, based upon the respective outstanding Principal amounts thereof.

(ii) To effect a Forced Conversion, the Borrower shall send a written notice via electronic mail to the Lender (a “Forced Conversion Notice”) at any time between 4:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Trading Day on which the Forced Conversion Condition is satisfied. The Forced Conversion Notice shall certify that the Forced Conversion Condition and the other applicable conditions set forth in this Section 2 have been satisfied (including reasonable supporting information), shall state the Principal amount hereunder that the Borrower shall cause to be converted on the Forced Conversion Date and shall state the number of shares of Preferred Stock to be issued to the Lender (subject to Section 2(e)(iii) and the other terms and conditions of this Section 2(e)). Simultaneously with delivery of a Forced Conversion Notice hereunder, the Borrower shall send a Forced Conversion Notice with respect to a pro rata portion of the Principal of each other First Out Waterfall Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Borrower send any Forced Conversion Notice to the Lender within thirty-one (31) days of any other Forced Conversion Notice sent by the Borrower to the Lender.

(iii) The Conversion Shares issuable pursuant to a Forced Conversion shall be delivered within the timeframe and in accordance with Section 2(c)(ii) above.

(f) Limitations on Conversions.

(i) Beneficial Ownership. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall not issue to the Lender, and the Lender may not acquire, a number of shares of Common Stock upon any Voluntary Conversion of this Note, or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto or the Facility Agreement, to the extent that, upon such conversion or other issuance, the number of shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Lender and its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Lender’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (including shares held by any “group” of which the Lender is a member, but excluding shares beneficially owned by virtue of the ownership of the Warrants, shares of Preferred Stock or other securities or rights to acquire securities that have limitations on the right to convert, exercise or purchase similar to the limitation set forth herein) would exceed 4.985% of the total number of shares of common stock then issued and outstanding (the “4.985% Cap”); provided, however, that the 4.985% Cap shall only apply to the extent that the Common Stock is deemed to constitute an “equity security” pursuant to Rule 13d-1(i) promulgated under the Exchange Act. For purposes hereof, “group” has the meaning set forth in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and applicable regulations of the SEC, and the percentage held by the Lender shall be determined in a manner consistent with the provisions of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act. Upon the written request of the Lender, the Borrower shall, within two (2) Trading Days, confirm orally and in writing to the Lender the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. Without limiting the foregoing, in no event shall the number of shares issued to the Lender pursuant to

 

A - 13


a Forced Conversion exceed the Lender’s Forced Conversion Maximum Share Amount (if any), as applicable to the Forced Conversion. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitation set forth in this Section 2(f)(i) shall not apply to any Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion.

(ii) Elective Conversion Issuance Limit. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Note shall not be convertible pursuant to an Elective Conversion, and the Borrower shall not issue Conversion Shares upon any Elective Conversion of this Note, to the extent that, in the case of any Elective Conversion effected as a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such Elective Conversion or, in the case of any Elective Conversion effected as a Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversion, the number of shares of Common Stock that would, upon the issuance of the applicable number of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, be issuable upon conversion thereof at the then applicable Series DF-1 Preferred Conversion Rate, together with the number of shares of Common Stock issued (or issued or issuable upon conversion of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock issued) under this Note pursuant to Elective Conversions after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and prior to such Elective Conversion (subject to proportionate adjustment for any Stock Event occurring after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and prior to the Conversion Date in respect of such Elective Conversion), would exceed the Elective Conversion Issuance Limit (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that upon any Elective Conversion of this Note, the Borrower shall convert the maximum portion of Principal set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice that may be converted into shares of Common Stock or Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (as applicable) without so exceeding the Elective Conversion Issuance Limit, subject in the case of any Elective Conversion effected as a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion to the 4.985% Cap). For the avoidance of doubt, the limitation set forth in this Section 2(f)(ii) shall not apply to any Discretionary Conversion or Forced Conversion.

(iii) Discretionary Conversion Issuance Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Note shall not be convertible pursuant to a Discretionary Conversion, and the Borrower shall not issue Conversion Shares upon any Discretionary Conversion of this Note, to the extent that the aggregate Principal of this Note that would otherwise be converted pursuant to the applicable Discretionary Notice, together with the aggregate Principal of this Note converted into Conversion Shares after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and prior to such Discretionary Conversion pursuant to Discretionary Conversions (including Discretionary Conversions effected both as Common Stock Voluntary Conversions and Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversions) and Forced Conversions, would exceed the Discretionary Conversion Cap (provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that upon any Discretionary Conversion of this Note, the Borrower shall convert the maximum portion of Principal set forth in the applicable Conversion Notice that may be converted into shares of Common Stock without so exceeding the Discretionary Conversion Cap, subject in the case of any Discretionary Conversion effected as a Common Stock Voluntary Conversion to the 4.985% Cap). For the avoidance of doubt, the limitation set forth in this Section 2(f)(iii) shall not apply to any Elective Conversion or Forced Conversion.

(iv) Forced Conversion Issuance Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Note shall not be convertible pursuant to a Forced Conversion,

 

A - 14


and the Borrower shall not issue Conversion Shares upon any Forced Conversion of this Note, to the extent that the aggregate Principal of this Note that would otherwise be converted pursuant to the applicable Forced Conversion Notice, together with the aggregate Principal of this Note converted into Conversion Shares after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date and prior to such Forced Conversion pursuant to Discretionary Conversions (including Discretionary Conversions effected both as Common Stock Voluntary Conversions and Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversions) and Forced Conversions, would exceed the Forced Conversion Cap. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitation set forth in this Section 2(f)(iii) shall not apply to any Voluntary Conversion.

(v) Other Applicable Restrictions on Conversion of the Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower shall not deliver a Forced Conversion Notice, and the Borrower shall not effect a Forced Conversion, (A) during the occurrence of a Delisting Event, (b) at any time following such time as the Borrower has delivered (or is obligated to deliver) a Major Transaction Notice in respect of a Major Transaction, (c) at any time following the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default or a Default, (d) from and after a Withholding Date, (e) unless all material information regarding the Borrower (including any material information that may be included in, or reflected by, the Forced Conversion Notice, but excluding any material information relating to the Borrower’s operating results that the Borrower has not yet publicly reported, nor been obligated to publicly report (in a filing with the SEC or otherwise), other than operating results that would trigger non-compliance with a covenant under the Facility Agreement or the ABL Credit Facility) has been publicly disclosed in a report filed pursuant to the Exchange Act or has been otherwise publicly disclosed in a manner calculated to reach the securities marketplace through one of the Borrower’s recognized channels of distribution, (h) unless all shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock issuable pursuant to the Forced Conversion will constitute Freely Tradeable Shares, (i) unless the Borrower is in compliance with the “current public information” requirement of Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act, (j) if the transfer agent for the Common Stock is not participating in DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, or (k) if any Lender, after consultation with counsel of its choosing, advises the Borrower that the receipt or resale of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock issued or issuable hereunder (or the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof) would result in such Lender being deemed an “underwriter” within the meaning of Section 2(11) under the Securities Act (collectively, the “Forced Conversion Conditions”), except to the extent the Lender has waived any such Forced Conversion Condition by written notice to the Borrower. If any of the Forced Conversion Conditions is not satisfied at any time following the delivery of a Forced Conversion Notice and prior to the Share Issuance Date in respect of Forced Conversion, the Borrower shall immediately notify the Lender of such failure and, unless the Lender waives such Forced Conversion Condition by written notice to the Borrower, the Forced Conversion Notice shall be voided and the Forced Conversion shall not be effected. For the avoidance of doubt, the Forced Conversion Conditions shall not apply to any Voluntary Conversion.

(g) Borrower Disclosure. Without limiting clause (e) of the Forced Conversion Conditions or Section 5.1(q) of the Facility Agreement, the Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) no Forced Conversion Notice shall constitute or contain any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities, and (ii) the Lender

 

A - 15

3. Reservation of Shares. The Borrower shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of this Note, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire Principal convertible under this Note (without giving effect to the 4.985% Cap), assuming that any conversions will be at the Fixed Conversion Price; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of the entire Principal convertible under this Note, the Borrower will use reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may, upon the advice of the Borrower’s counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. The Borrower shall also at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting conversions of this Note, such number of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect all of the maximum amount of Discretionary Conversions as Preferred Stock Voluntary Conversions; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock shall not be sufficient to effect all such conversions, the Borrower will use reasonable best efforts to take such corporate action as may, upon the advice of the Borrower’s counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose. The Company covenants and agrees that, upon any conversion of this Note, all shares of Common Stock, Series DF-1 Preferred Stock or Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (as applicable) issued upon such conversion shall be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and not subject to preemptive rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights of any Person.

4. Voting Rights. Except as required by law, the Lender shall have no voting rights with respect to any of the Conversion Shares until the Conversion Date relating to the conversion of this Note upon which such Conversion Shares are issuable (or in the case of Conversion Shares the issuance of which is subject to a bona fide dispute that is subject to and being resolved pursuant to, and in compliance with the time periods and other provisions of, the dispute resolution provisions of Section 2(c)(iii), the first Business Day after the resolution of such bona fide dispute).

This Note shall be deemed to be jointly drafted by the Borrower and all Lenders pursuant to the Facility Agreement and shall not be construed against any Person as the drafter hereof.

7. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver. No delay or omission by the Lender in exercising any power or right hereunder shall impair such right or power or be construed to be a waiver of any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right hereunder

 

A - 16


preclude the full exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No renewal or extension of this Note or the Facility Agreement, no delay in the enforcement of payment under this Note or the Facility Agreement, and no delay or omission in exercising any right or power under this Note or the Facility Agreement shall affect the liability of the Borrower or any endorser of this Note.

Any Global Note may be endorsed with or have incorporated in the text thereof such legends or recitals or changes not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture as may be required by the Custodian or the Depositary, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or any regulation thereunder or with the rules and regulations of any securities exchange or automated quotation system upon which the Notes may be listed or traded or designated for issuance or to conform with any usage with respect thereto, or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

Any of the Notes may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such notations, legends or endorsements as the Officer executing the same may approve (execution thereof to be conclusive evidence of such approval) and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, or to conform to usage or to indicate any special limitations or restrictions to which any particular Notes are subject.

Each Global Note shall represent such principal amount of the outstanding Notes as shall be specified therein and shall provide that it shall represent the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect PIK Payments, repurchases, cancellations, conversions, transfers or exchanges permitted hereby. Any endorsement of a Global Note to reflect the amount of any increase or decrease in the amount of outstanding Notes represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, in such manner and upon instructions given by the Holder of such Notes in accordance with this Indenture. Payment of principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, a Global Note shall be made to the Holder of such Note on the date of payment, unless a record date or other means of determining Holders eligible to receive payment is provided for herein.

Section 2.03. Date and Denomination of Notes; Payments of Interest and Defaulted Amounts. (a) The Notes shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $1.00 principal amount and integral multiples in excess thereof. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication and shall bear interest from the date specified on the face of such Note. Accrued interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months and, for partial months, on the basis of the number of days actually elapsed in a 30-day month.

(b) The Person in whose name any Note (or its Predecessor Note) is registered on the Note Register at the close of business on any Regular Record Date with respect to any Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date (the “Interest Amount”).

The Company shall, at the Company’s option, either (i) pay the Interest Amount in cash, (ii) issue shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of such Interest Amount in accordance with the terms hereof, or (iii) pay PIK Interest as set forth in Section 2.11. Interest shall accrue from February 24, 2020, or from the most recent date to which interest had been paid or provided for to, but excluding the next scheduled Interest Payment Date, until April 3, 2024.

If the Company elects to pay the Interest Amount in cash, such amount and any principal amounts of any Note (x) in the case of any Physical Note, shall be payable at the office or agency of the Company maintained by the Company for such purposes in the contiguous United States, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office and (y) in the case of any Global Note, shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Company shall pay interest, if paid in cash (i) on any Physical Notes (A) to Holders holding Physical Notes having an

 

12


aggregate principal amount of $2,000,000 or less, by check mailed to the Holders of these Notes at their address as it appears in the Note Register and (B) to Holders holding Physical Notes having an aggregate principal amount of more than $2,000,000 either by check mailed to each Holder or, upon application by such a Holder to the Note Registrar not later than the relevant Regular Record Date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to that Holder’s account within the United States, which application shall remain in effect until the Holder notifies, in writing, the Note Registrar to the contrary or (ii) on any Global Note by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee.

If the Company elects to pay the Interest Amount in shares of Common Stock, the number of such shares to be issued shall be the number determined by dividing (x) the Interest Amount due or to be converted (as applicable), by (y) the Last Reported Sale Price as of the date on which the Interest Amount was calculated. Such shares shall be issued and delivered on the applicable Interest Payment Date. In order to pay the Interest Amount in shares of Common Stock, the Company shall deliver a notice (an “Interest Payment Notice”) to the Trustee no later than the 15th calendar day immediately prior to the Regular Record Date preceding such Interest Payment Date, which notice shall state the total Interest Amount to be paid on the Interest Payment Date and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued in satisfaction thereof. The Trustee, on behalf of the Company, shall promptly upon receipt of the Interest Payment Notice, and in no event later than the 10th calendar day immediately prior to the Regular Record Date preceding such Interest Payment Date, deliver a corresponding notice prepared by the Company (which may be the same as the Interest Payment Notice) to the Holders.

In accordance with Rule 5635(d) under the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules, the Company shall make no payment of the Interest Amount, and any Additional Interest which may become due and payable, in shares of Common Stock if the price per share of Common Stock upon which the conversion of the Interest Amount or Additional Interest, as applicable, is to be effected is less than $0.8262.

(c) Any Defaulted Amounts shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant payment date but shall accrue interest per annum at the then-applicable rate borne by the Notes plus one percent, subject to the enforceability thereof under applicable law, from, and including, such relevant payment date, and such Defaulted Amounts together with such interest thereon shall be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (i) or (ii) below:

(i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Amounts to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of the Defaulted Amounts proposed to be paid on each Note and the date of the proposed payment (which shall be not less than 25 days after the receipt by the Trustee of such notice, unless the Trustee shall agree to an earlier date), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Amounts or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Amounts as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Company shall fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Amounts which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment, and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment.

 

13


The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of such special record date at least five (5) Business Days before such notice is to be sent to the Holders, and the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor to be sent to each Holder not less than 10 days prior to such special record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Amounts and the special record date therefor having been so sent, such Defaulted Amounts shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or their respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such special record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (ii) of this Section 2.03(c).

(ii) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Amounts in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or automated quotation system on which the Notes may be listed or designated for issuance, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Section 2.04. Execution, Authentication and Delivery of Notes. The Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature by one of its Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer, Secretary or any of its Executive or Senior Vice Presidents.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Notes (including PIK Notes issued in physical form) executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Notes, and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall manually authenticate and deliver such Notes, without any further action by the Company hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel of the Company with respect to the issuance, authentication and delivery of such Notes.

Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the Form of Note attached as Exhibit A hereto, executed manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 17.10), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

In case any Officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer of the Company; and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the Officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer.

Section 2.05. Exchange and Registration of Transfer of Notes; Restrictions on Transfer; Depositary. (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 4.02, the “Note Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers of Notes. Such register shall be in

 

14


written form or in any form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable period of time. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed the “Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. The Company may change or appoint one or more co-Note Registrars in accordance with Section 4.02.

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note to the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar, and satisfaction of the requirements for such transfer set forth in this Section 2.05, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this Indenture.

Notes may be exchanged for other Notes of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at any such office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, upon receipt of a Company Order, authenticate and deliver, the Notes that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive, bearing registration numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

All Notes presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange, repurchase or conversion shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney-in-fact duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent for any exchange or registration of transfer of Notes, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of new Notes issued upon such exchange or registration of transfer being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer.

None of the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar or any co-Note Registrar shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of (i) any Notes surrendered for conversion or, if a portion of any Note is surrendered for conversion, such portion thereof surrendered for conversion, or (ii) any Notes, or a portion of any Note, surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn) in accordance with Article 15.

All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes in accordance with this Indenture shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(b) So long as the Notes are eligible for book-entry settlement with the Depositary, unless otherwise required by law, subject to the fourth paragraph from the end of Section 2.05(c), all Notes shall be represented by one or more Notes in global form (each, a “Global Note”) registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary. The transfer and exchange of beneficial interests in a Global Note that does not involve the issuance of a Physical Note shall be effected through the Depositary (but not the Trustee or the Custodian) in accordance with this Indenture (including the restrictions on transfer set forth herein) and the procedures of the Depositary therefor.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, a Global Note may not be transferred as a whole or in part except (i) by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or

 

15


any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor Depositary and (ii) for exchange of a Global Note or a portion thereof for one or more Physical Notes in accordance with the second immediately succeeding paragraph.

The Depositary shall be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act. The Company initially appoints The Depository Trust Company to act as Depositary with respect to each Global Note. Initially, each Global Note shall be issued to the Depositary, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as the nominee of the Depositary, and deposited with the Trustee as custodian for Cede & Co.

If (i) the Depositary notifies the Company at any time that the Depositary is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days, (ii) the Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and is continuing and a beneficial owner of any Note requests that its beneficial interest therein be issued as a Physical Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Notes, shall authenticate and deliver (x) in the case of clause (iii), a Physical Note to such beneficial owner in a principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Note corresponding to such beneficial owner’s beneficial interest and (y) in the case of clause (i) or (ii), Physical Notes to each beneficial owner of the related Global Notes (or a portion thereof) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Global Notes in exchange for such Global Notes, and upon delivery of the Global Notes to the Trustee such Global Notes shall be canceled.

Physical Notes issued in exchange for all or a part of the Global Note, pursuant to this Section 2.05(c), shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, or, in the case of clause (iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph, the relevant beneficial owner, shall instruct the Trustee. Upon execution and authentication, the Trustee shall deliver such Physical Notes to the Persons in whose names such Physical Notes are so registered.

At such time as all interests in a Global Note have been converted, canceled, repurchased, redeemed or transferred, such Global Note shall be, upon receipt thereof, canceled by the Trustee in accordance with standing procedures and existing instructions between the Depositary and the Custodian. At any time prior to such cancellation, if any interest in a Global Note is exchanged for Physical Notes, converted, canceled, repurchased, redeemed or transferred to a transferee who receives Physical Notes therefor or any Physical Note is exchanged or transferred for part of such Global Note, the principal amount of such Global Note shall, in accordance with the standing procedures and instructions existing between the Depositary and the Custodian, be appropriately reduced or increased, as the case may be, and an endorsement shall be made on such Global Note, by the Trustee or the Custodian, at the direction of the Trustee, to reflect such reduction or increase.

None of the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Conversion Agent or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Note or maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Members of, or participants in, the Depositary shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Note held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Note, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of the Global Note for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or

 

16


impair, as between the Depositary and Participants, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any Note.

(d) [RESERVED.]

(e) Any Note or Common Stock issued upon the conversion or exchange of a Note that is repurchased or owned by any Affiliate of the Company (or any Person who was an Affiliate of the Company at any time during the three months immediately preceding) may not be resold by such Affiliate (or such Person, as the case may be) unless the resale is registered under the Securities Act or conducted pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act in a transaction that results in such Note or Common Stock, as the case may be, no longer being a “restricted security” (as defined under Rule 144). The Company shall cause any Note that is repurchased or owned by it to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08.

(f) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Note Registrar shall be responsible for ascertaining whether any transfer complies with the registration provisions of or exemptions from the Securities Act, applicable state securities laws or other applicable federal or state laws.

Section 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. In case any Note shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company in its discretion may execute, and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Note, bearing a registration number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Note, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Note so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Note shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless from any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

The Trustee or such authenticating agent may authenticate any such substituted Note and deliver the same upon the receipt of a Company Order and such security or indemnity as the Trustee, the Company and, if applicable, such authenticating agent may require. No service charge shall be imposed by the Company, the Trustee, the Note Registrar, any co-Note Registrar or the Paying Agent upon the issuance of any substitute Note, but the Company may require a Holder to pay a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax required in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new substitute Note being different from the name of the Holder of the old Note that became mutilated or was destroyed, lost or stolen. In case any Note that has matured or is about to mature or has been surrendered for required repurchase or is about to be converted in accordance with Article 14 shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, in its sole discretion, instead of issuing a substitute Note, pay or authorize the payment of or convert or authorize the conversion of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Note), as the case may be, if the applicant for such payment or conversion shall furnish to the Company, to the Trustee and, if applicable, to such authenticating agent such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless for any loss, liability, cost or expense caused by or connected with such substitution, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and, if applicable, any Paying Agent or Conversion Agent evidence of their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Note and of the ownership thereof.

 

17


Every substitute Note issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.06 by virtue of the fact that any Note is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder. To the extent permitted by law, all Notes shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement, payment, conversion or repurchase of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement, payment, conversion or repurchase of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

Section 2.07. Temporary Notes. Pending the preparation of Physical Notes, the Company may execute and the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee shall, upon written request of the Company, authenticate and deliver temporary Notes (printed or lithographed). Temporary Notes shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the Physical Notes but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Notes, all as may be determined by the Company. Every such temporary Note shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the Physical Notes. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Physical Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent upon receipt of a Company Order shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and subject to the same limitations under this Indenture as Physical Notes authenticated and delivered hereunder.

Section 2.08. Cancellation of Notes Paid, Converted, Etc. The Company shall cause all Notes surrendered for the purpose of payment, repurchase, registration of transfer or exchange or conversion, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee (including any of the Company’s agents, Subsidiaries or Affiliates), to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. All Notes delivered to the Trustee shall be canceled promptly by it upon receipt of a Company Order, and no Notes shall be authenticated in exchange thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall dispose of cancelled Notes in accordance with its customary procedures. The Trustee shall deliver copies of such cancelled Notes to the Company, at the Company’s written request in a Company Order.

Section 2.09. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 2.10. Additional Notes; Repurchases. The Company may, without the consent of the Holders and notwithstanding Section 2.01, reopen this Indenture and issue additional Notes hereunder with the same terms as the Notes initially issued hereunder (other than differences in the Issue Date, the issue price and interest accrued prior to the Issue Date of such additional Notes) in an unlimited aggregate principal amount. If any such additional Notes are not fungible with the Notes initially issued hereunder for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional Notes shall have a separate CUSIP number. Prior to

 

18


the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 17.05, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other derivatives. The Company shall cause any Notes so repurchased (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08, and upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee and no one else shall cancel all Notes so surrendered and such Notes shall no longer be considered outstanding under this Indenture upon their surrender to the Trustee.

Section 2.11. Issuance of PIK Notes; Payment of PIK Interest. If the Company determines to pay PIK Interest in respect of the Notes, subject to any restrictions as set forth in the Form of Note in Exhibit A to this Indenture, the Company may elect to either increase the outstanding principal amount of the Notes or issue additional Notes (the “PIK Notes”) under this Indenture having the same terms as the Notes (in each case, a “PIK Payment”). The Company shall make a PIK Payment (x) with respect to Notes represented by one or more Global Notes, by increasing the principal amount of the outstanding Global Notes by an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest due and payable (rounded up to the nearest whole U.S. dollar) and (y) with respect to Notes represented by Physical Notes, by issuing PIK Notes in physical form in an amount equal to the amount of PIK Interest due and payable (rounded up to the nearest whole U.S. dollar). In order to pay PIK Interest pursuant to this Section 2.11, the Company shall deliver a notice (a “PIK Notice”) to the Trustee no later than the 15th calendar day immediately prior to the Regular Record Date preceding such Interest Payment Date, which notice shall state the total amount of interest to be paid on the Interest Payment Date and the amount of such interest to be paid as PIK Interest in accordance with the terms of the Notes. The Trustee, on behalf of the Company, shall promptly upon receipt of the PIK Notice, and in no event later than the 10th calendar day immediately prior to the Regular Record Date preceding such Interest Payment Date, deliver a corresponding notice prepared by the Company (which may be the same as the PIK Notice) to the Holders.

(b) Any PIK Notes issued in physical form will be issued with the designation “PIK Notes” on the face of such PIK Notes, and shall be in minimum denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples thereof. Any PIK Notes ranking pari passu with the Notes may be created and issued from time to time by the Company without notice to or consent of the Holders and shall be consolidated with and form a single class with the Notes and shall have the same terms as to status or otherwise as the Notes. All PIK Notes issued pursuant to a PIK Payment shall mature on the same Maturity Date as the originally issued Notes and shall be governed by, and subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of, this Indenture and shall have the same rights and benefits as the Notes. Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such PIK Notes in physical form for original issuance to the Holders thereof on the relevant Record Date, as shown by the records of the Note Register of such Holders.

(c) Following an increase in the principal amount of the outstanding Global Notes as a result of a PIK Payment, the Global Notes will bear interest on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such PIK Payment. Any PIK Notes issued in physical form will be distributed to Holders, dated as of the applicable Interest Payment Date and will bear interest on the principal amount of such PIK Note from and after the Interest Payment Date in respect of which such PIK Payment was made.

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

Section 4.01. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees that it will cause to be paid the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, each of the Notes at the places, at the respective times and in the manner provided herein and in the Notes. PIK Interest shall be considered paid on the Interest Payment Date after any PIK Notice has been delivered to Holders. In respect of such Interest Payment Date and PIK Payment, the Trustee shall either receive (i) a Company Order, pursuant to Section 2.11, to increase the balance of any Global Note to reflect such PIK Interest or (ii) a PIK Note duly executed by the Company together with a Company Order, pursuant to Section 2.11, requesting the authentication of such PIK Note by the Trustee.

Section 4.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in the contiguous United States an office or agency where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or repurchase (“Paying Agent”) or for conversion (“Conversion Agent”). The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office.

The Company may also from time to time designate as co-Note Registrars one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the contiguous United States for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The terms “Paying Agent” and “Conversion Agent” include any such additional or other offices or agencies, as applicable.

 

20


The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as the Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian and Conversion Agent and the Corporate Trust Office as the office or agency in the contiguous United States, where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange or for presentation for payment or repurchase or for conversion. The Corporate Trust Office shall not be a place for service of legal process on the Company.

Section 4.03. Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustees Office. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.09, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

Section 4.04. Provisions as to Paying Agent. (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, the Company will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.04:

(i) that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes;

(ii) that it will give the Trustee prompt notice of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and

(iii) that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust.

The Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) or accrued and unpaid interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action; provided that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit must be received by the Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.

(b) If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) and accrued and unpaid interest so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall become due and payable. The Company or any Affiliate of the Company may act as Paying Agent (except for the purposes of Article 3). Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under Section 6.01(j) or Section 6.01(k), the Trustee shall automatically be the Paying Agent.

(c) Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay, cause to be paid or deliver to the Trustee all sums or amounts held in trust by the Company or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 4.04, such sums or amounts to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained and upon such payment or delivery by the Company or any Paying Agent

 

21


to the Trustee, the Company or such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability but only with respect to such sums or amounts.

(d) Subject to applicable abandoned property laws, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest on and the consideration due upon conversion of any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), interest or consideration due upon conversion has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on request of the Company contained in an Officers’ Certificate, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease.

Section 4.05. Existence. Subject to Article 11, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and the corporate existence of any Significant Subsidiary.

Section 4.06. Rule 144A Information Requirement and Annual Reports. (a) At any time the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company shall, so long as any of the Notes or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion thereof shall, at such time, constitute “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144(a)(3) under the Securities Act, promptly provide to the Trustee and, upon written request, any Holder, beneficial owner or prospective purchaser of such Notes or any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of such Notes, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of such Notes or shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144A. The Company shall take such further action as any Holder or beneficial owner of such Notes or such Common Stock may reasonably request to the extent from time to time required to enable such Holder or beneficial owner to sell such Notes or shares of Common Stock in accordance with Rule 144A, as such rule may be amended from time to time.

(b) The Company shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the Commission, copies of any documents or reports that the Company is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act). Any such document or report that the Company files with the Commission via the Commission’s EDGAR system shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.06(b) at the time such documents are filed via the EDGAR system; provided, that the Trustee shall have no obligation to monitor whether such filings have been made or the content thereof.

(c) Delivery of the reports and documents described in subsection (b) above to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officers’ Certificate).

(d) If, at any time during the six-month period beginning on, and including, the date that is six months after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, the Company fails to timely file any document or report that it is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable (after giving effect to all applicable grace periods thereunder and other than reports on Form 8-K), or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months

 

22


immediately preceding (as a result of restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes), the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes. Such Additional Interest shall accrue on the Notes at the rate of 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during such period for which the Company’s failure to file has occurred and is continuing or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding). As used in this Section 4.06(d), documents or reports that the Company is required to “file” with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act does not include documents or reports that the Company furnishes to the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(e) If, and for so long as, the restrictive legend on the Notes specified in Section 2.05(c) has not been removed, the Notes are assigned a restricted CUSIP or the Notes are not otherwise freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding (without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes) as of the 365th day after the last date of original issuance of the Notes, the Company shall pay Additional Interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.50% per annum of the principal amount of Notes outstanding until the restrictive legend on the Notes has been removed in accordance with Section 2.05(c), the Notes are assigned an unrestricted CUSIP and the Notes are freely tradable pursuant to Rule 144 by Holders other than the Company’s Affiliates (or Holders that were the Company’s Affiliates at any time during the three months immediately preceding) without restrictions pursuant to U.S. securities laws or the terms of this Indenture or the Notes.

(f) Additional Interest will be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date following accrual in the same manner as regular interest on the Notes.

(g) The Additional Interest that is payable in accordance with Section 4.06(d) or Section 4.06(e) shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any Additional Interest that may be payable as a result of the Company’s election pursuant to Section 6.03.

(h) If Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 4.06(d) or Section 4.06(e), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to that effect stating (i) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (ii) the date on which such Additional Interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Additional Interest is payable.

Section 4.07. Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 4.08. Compliance Certificate; Statements as to Defaults. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2020) an Officers’ Certificate stating whether the signers thereof have

 

23


knowledge of any failure by the Company to comply with all conditions and covenants then required to be performed under this Indenture and, if so, specifying each such failure and the nature thereof.

In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible, and in any event within 30 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or Default, its status and the action that the Company is taking or proposing to take in respect thereof.

Section 4.09. Further Instruments and Acts. Upon request of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, the Company will execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary or proper to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Indenture, or as the Collateral Agent may reasonably request, in order to grant, preserve, protect and perfect the validity and priority of the security interests and Liens created, or intended to be created, by the Security Documents in the Collateral to the extent required thereunder and subject to the Subordination Agreement.

Section 4.10. After-Acquired Property. From and after the date hereof and subject to certain limitations set forth in the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement, if the Company acquires any property which is of a type constituting Collateral under the Junior Lien Security Agreement or any other Security Document, it shall, to the extent necessary and required by the Junior Lien Security Agreement or any other Security Document, as soon as practicable after the acquisition thereof execute and deliver such security instruments, mortgages, surveys, title insurance policies, financing statements and such certificates and Opinions of Counsel as are reasonably necessary to vest in the Collateral Agent a perfected security interest in such after-acquired property to the extent such security interest can be perfected by filing a UCC financing statement and to have such after-acquired property added to the Collateral, and thereupon all provisions of this Indenture relating to the Collateral shall be deemed to relate to such after-acquired property to the same extent and with the same force and effect but in each case subject to the Subordination Agreement.

Section 4.11. Maintenance of Collateral. The Company shall (i) at all times maintain, preserve and protect all property material to the conduct of its business and keep such property in good repair, working order and condition (other than wear and tear occurring in the ordinary course of business) and (ii) from time to time make, or cause to be made, all necessary and proper repairs, renewals, additions, improvements and replacements thereto necessary in order that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times.

Section 6.02. Acceleration; Rescission and Annulment. If one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body), then, and in each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(j) or Section 6.01(k) with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries), unless the principal of all of the Notes shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, all the Notes to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable, anything contained in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(j) or Section 6.01(k) with respect to the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries occurs, 100% of the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, all Notes shall become and shall automatically be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act of the Holders or any act on the part of the Trustee.

The immediately preceding paragraph, however, is subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Notes shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the monies due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay installments of accrued and unpaid interest upon all Notes and the principal of any and all Notes that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on overdue installments of accrued and unpaid interest to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, and on such principal at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, plus one percent) and amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06, and if (1) rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction and (2) any and all existing Events of Default under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on Notes that shall have become due solely by such acceleration, shall have been cured or waived pursuant to Section 6.09, then and in every such case (except as provided in the immediately succeeding sentence) the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including PIK Notes), by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all Defaults or Events of Default with respect to the Notes and rescind and

 

26


annul such declaration and its consequences and such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Default or Event of Default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any Default or Event of Default resulting from (i) the nonpayment of the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, any Notes, (ii) a failure to repurchase any Notes when required or (iii) a failure to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes.

Section 6.03. Additional Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) shall after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive Additional Interest on the Notes at a rate equal to 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding for each day during the 60-day period on which such Event of Default is continuing beginning on, and including, the date on which such an Event of Default first occurs. Additional Interest payable pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, any Additional Interest payable pursuant to Section 4.06(d) or Section 4.06(e). If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes. On the 61st day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to file is not cured or waived prior to such 61st day), the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. The provisions of this paragraph will not affect the rights of Holders of Notes in the event of the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b). In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.03 or the Company elected to make such payment but does not pay the Additional Interest when due, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.

In order to elect to pay Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default described in the immediately preceding paragraph, the Company must notify all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent in writing of such election prior to the beginning of such 60-day period. Upon the failure to timely give such notice, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.

Section 6.04. Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on any overdue principal and interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, plus one percent, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06. If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated.

In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator,

 

27


sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.04, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including agents and counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting such Holder or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.

In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.

In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver pursuant to Section 6.09 or any rescission and annulment pursuant to Section 6.02 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Holders and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Holders and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 6.05. Application of Monies Collected by Trustee. Subject to the Subordination Agreement, any monies or property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to the Notes shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such monies, upon presentation of the several Notes, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid:

First, to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and to the Collateral Agent under this Indenture and the Security Documents;

Second, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest on, and any cash due upon conversion of, the Notes in default in the order of the date due of the payments of such interest and cash due upon conversion, as the case may be, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon such overdue payments at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, plus one percent, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;

Third, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if applicable, the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes at such time plus one percent, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and the cash due upon conversion) and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and any cash due upon conversion) and accrued and unpaid interest; and

Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.

Section 6.06. Proceedings by Holders. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) or interest when due, or the right to receive payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

(a) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof, as herein provided;

(b) Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(c) such Holder(s) shall have offered to the Trustee such security or indemnity satisfactory to it in its discretion against any loss, liability or expense to be incurred therein or thereby;

(d) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of such security or indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and

 

29


(e) no direction that is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding within such 60-day period pursuant to Section 6.09,

it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, each Holder shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holders.

Section 6.07. Proceedings by Trustee. In case of an Event of Default, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as are necessary to protect and enforce any of such rights, either by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceeding in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

Section 6.08. Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.

Section 6.09. Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders. The Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding (including any PIK Notes) determined in accordance with Section 8.04 shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that it determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such directions are unduly prejudicial to such Holder) or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability, unless the Trustee is offered indemnity or security satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense that might

 

30


be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed necessary by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, or the principal (including any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of, the Notes when due that has not been cured pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, (ii) a failure by the Company to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon conversion of the Notes or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected. Upon any such waiver the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.09, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.10. Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after it obtains knowledge of the occurrence and continuance of a Default of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge, deliver to all Holders and to the Collateral Agent notice of all Defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable), or accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the Notes or a Default in the payment or delivery of the consideration due upon conversion, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.

Section 6.11. Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Note (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to convert any Note, or receive the consideration due upon conversion, in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.

ARTICLE 7

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 7.01. Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.

In

 

31


the event an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs; provided that if an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers under this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders unless such Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it in its discretion against any loss, liability or expense that might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own grossly negligent action, its own grossly negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default that may have occurred:

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(ii) in the absence of gross negligence and willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but, in the case of any such certificates or opinions that by any provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein);

Section 7.04. Trustee, Paying Agents, Conversion Agents, Bid Solicitation Agent or Note Registrar May Own Notes. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent, Bid Solicitation Agent or Note Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Notes with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Paying Agent, Conversion Agent, Bid Solicitation Agent or Note Registrar.

Section 7.05. Monies to Be Held in Trust. All monies received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as may be agreed from time to time by the Company and the Trustee. The Trustee shall not be obligated to take possession of any Common Stock, whether upon conversion in respect of Interest Amounts or in connection with any discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article 3 hereof, but shall satisfy its obligation as Conversion Agent or Paying Agent by working through the stock transfer agent of the Company from time to time as directed by the Company.

Section 7.06. Compensation and Expenses of Trustee. The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder in any capacity (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as mutually agreed to in writing between the Trustee and the Company, and the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture in any capacity thereunder (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ and including reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with enforcement of its rights to indemnity herein) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as shall have been caused by its gross negligence, or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee in any capacity under this Indenture and any other document or transaction entered into in connection herewith and its agents and any authenticating agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, claim, damage, liability, fee, cost, loss, tax, claim, action or expense incurred without gross negligence, or willful misconduct as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction on the part of the Trustee, its officers, directors, agents or employees, or such agent or authenticating agent, as the case may be, and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this Indenture or in any other capacity hereunder, including third-party claims and claims involving the Company, and including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section 7.06 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a senior lien to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee, except, subject to the effect of Section 6.05 or other property, funds held in trust herewith for the benefit of the Holders of particular Notes. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under this Section 7.06 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or indebtedness of the Company and in order to secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 7.06 the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and interest on particular Notes, subject to the Subordination Agreement. The obligation of the Company under this Section 7.06 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. The Company need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The indemnification provided in this Section 7.06 shall extend to the officers, directors, agents and employees of the Trustee.

 

35


Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee and its agents and any authenticating agent incur expenses or render services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(j) or Section 6.01(k) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws.

Section 7.07. Officers Certificate and Opinion of Counsel as Evidence. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee, and such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Section 7.08. Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act (as if the Trust Indenture Act were applicable hereto) to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

Section 7.09. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may at any time resign by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and by delivering notice thereof to the Holders. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 60 days after the giving of such notice of resignation to the Holders, the resigning Trustee may at the expense of the Company, upon ten Business Days’ notice to the Company and the Holders, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months (or since the date of this Indenture) may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee, and the Company shall bear the expense associated with such appointment.

(b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur:

(i) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.08 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

(ii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

then, in either case, the Company may by a Board Resolution remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months (or since the date of this Indenture) may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

(c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding (including any PIK Notes), as determined in accordance with Section 8.04, may at any time, upon 30 days’ prior written notice, remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within ten days after notice to the Company of such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 7.09(a) provided, may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.09 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.10.

Section 7.10. Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.

Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.10, each of the Company and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders. If the Company fails to deliver such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be delivered at the expense of the Company.

Section 7.11. Succession by Merger, Etc. Any corporation or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder

 

37


without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that in the case of any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee such corporation or other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 7.12. Trustees Application for Instructions from the Company. Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company (other than with regard to any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by the Trustee that affects the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture) may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee shall not be liable to the Company for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business Days after the date any officer that the Company has indicated to the Trustee should receive such application actually receives such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any earlier date), unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of any omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in accordance with this Indenture in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

Section 7.13. Security Documents; Subordination Agreement. By their acceptance of the Notes, each of the Holders hereby (a) authorizes and direct the Trustee and Collateral Agent, as the case may be, to execute and deliver the Subordination Agreement and any other Security Documents in which the Trustee or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, is named as a party, including any Security Documents executed after the date hereof and (b) agrees that it will be bound by and will take no actions contrary to the provisions of the Subordination Agreement. It is hereby expressly acknowledged and agreed that, in doing so, the Trustee and Collateral Agent are (a) expressly authorized to make the representations attributed to Holders in any such agreements and (b) not responsible for the terms or contents of such agreements, or for the validity or enforceability thereof, or the sufficiency thereof for any purpose. Whether or not so expressly stated therein, in entering into, or taking (or forbearing from) any action under the Subordination Agreement or any other Security Documents, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent each shall have all of the rights, benefits, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement (in addition to those that may be granted to it under the terms of such other agreement or agreements). In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of the Subordination Agreement, on the one hand, and this Indenture, the Notes, the Exchange Agreement or any other Security Document, or any other document, agreement or other instrument executed and delivered pursuant to this Indenture, the Notes, the Exchange Agreement or any other Security Document, on the other hand, the provisions of the Subordination Agreement shall control.

ARTICLE 8

CONCERNING THE HOLDERS

Section 8.01. Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article 9, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders. Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Notes, the Company or the Trustee may, but shall not be required to, fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Holders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is selected shall be not more than fifteen days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.

Section 8.02. Proof of Execution by Holders. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, Section 7.02 and Section 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee. The holding of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register or by a certificate of the Note Registrar. The record of any Holders’ meeting shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 9.06.

Section 8.03. Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Conversion Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name a Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal (including any Fundamental Change Repurchase Price) of and (subject to Section 2.03) accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, for conversion of such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Conversion Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The sole registered holder of a Global Note shall be the Depositary or its nominee. All such payments or deliveries so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sums or shares of Common Stock so paid or delivered, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable or shares deliverable upon any such Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes following an Event of Default, any holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Note in certificated form in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 8.04. Company-Owned Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Notes that are owned by the Company, by any Subsidiary thereof or by any Affiliate of the Company or any Subsidiary thereof shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action only Notes that a Responsible Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the

 

39


pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, a Subsidiary thereof or an Affiliate of the Company or a Subsidiary thereof. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above described Persons; and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.

Section 8.05. Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

For purposes of this Section 11.01, the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company to another Person, which properties and assets, if held by the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be the sale, conveyance, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company to another Person.

Section 11.02. Successor Corporation to Be Substituted. In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the Successor Company, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all of the Notes, the due and punctual delivery or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon conversion of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company, such Successor Company (if not the Company) shall succeed to and, except in the case of a lease of all or substantially all of the Company’s properties and assets, shall be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such Successor Company thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Company instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the Officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Company thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), upon compliance with this Article 11 the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Indenture (or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 11) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

 

45


Section 11.03. Opinion of Counsel to Be Given to Trustee. No such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease shall be effective unless the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or lease, as the case may be, and any such assumption and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, comply with the provisions of this Article 11, and which Opinion of Counsel shall state that the Notes and such supplemental indenture are valid and binding obligations of the Successor Company.

ARTICLE 14

CONVERSION OF NOTES

Section 14.01. Conversion. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article 14, each Holder of a Note shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to convert all or any portion of such Note (i) subject to satisfaction of the conditions described in Section 14.01(b), at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding January 1, 2024 under the circumstances and during the periods set forth in Section 14.01(b), and (ii) regardless of the conditions described in Section 14.01(b), on or after January 1, 2024 and prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, in each case, at an initial conversion rate of 0.4445 (subject to adjustment as provided in this Article 14, the “Applicable Conversion Rate”) per $1.00 principal amount of Notes (subject to, and in accordance with, the settlement provisions of Section 14.03, the “Conversion Obligation”), equivalent to the Conversion Price.

(b) (i) Prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding January 1, 2024, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at any time during the five consecutive Business Day period immediately following any twenty consecutive Trading Day period (the “Measurement Period”) in which the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as determined following a request by a Holder of Notes in accordance with this subsection (b)(i), for each Trading Day of the Measurement Period was less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on each such Trading Day and the Applicable Conversion Rate on each such Trading Day (the “Trading Price Condition”). The Trading Prices shall be determined by the Bid Solicitation Agent pursuant to this subsection (b)(i) and the definition of Trading Price set forth in this Indenture. The Company shall provide written notice to the Bid Solicitation Agent (if other than the Company) of the three independent

 

46


nationally recognized securities dealers selected by the Company pursuant to the definition of Trading Price, along with appropriate contact information for each. The Bid Solicitation Agent shall have no obligation to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes unless the Company has requested such determination in writing (and provided the Bid Solicitation Agent of the names and contact information for such dealers) and the Company shall have no obligation to make such request unless a Holder provides the Company with reasonable evidence that the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes on any Trading Day would be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on such Trading Day and the Applicable Conversion Rate on such Trading Day, at which time the Company shall instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent in writing to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes beginning on the next Trading Day and on each successive Trading Day until the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Applicable Conversion Rate.

If the Company does not instruct the Bid Solicitation Agent to determine the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes when obligated as provided in the preceding sentence, or if the Company instructs the Bid Solicitation Agent in writing to obtain bids and the Bid Solicitation Agent fails to make such determination, then, in either case, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be less than 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Applicable Conversion Rate on each Trading Day of such failure.

If on any date of determination of the Trading Price (A) the Bid Solicitation Agent cannot reasonably obtain at least one bid for $2,000,000 principal amount of Notes from an independent nationally recognized securities dealer, (B) if the Company has failed to request the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids when required or (C) if the Company requested the Bid Solicitation Agent to obtain bids and the Bid Solicitation Agent has failed to obtain such bids, then, in each case, the Notes shall be convertible under the Trading Price Condition for the next 5 consecutive Business Days following such date of determination. The Company shall determine the Trading Price of the Notes and whether the Trading Price Condition has been met, and, if so, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Bid Solicitation Agent.

If, at any time after the Trading Price Condition has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Applicable Conversion Rate for such date, the Company shall so notify the Holders, the Trustee, the Conversion Agent and the Bid Solicitation Agent.

If the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Company shall so notify the Holders in writing, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee). If, at any time after the Trading Price condition set forth above has been met, the Trading Price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes is greater than or equal to 98% of the product of the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock and the Applicable Conversion Rate for such date, the Company shall so notify the Holders of the Notes in writing, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee).

(ii) If, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding January 1, 2024, the Company elects to:

 

47


(A) issue to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a stockholder rights plan in respect of which the stockholder rights have not separated from the shares of Common Stock) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance; or

(B) distribute cash, debt securities (or other evidence of indebtedness) or other assets or securities (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any rights, options or warrants that are not described in clause (i) above, but excluding dividends or distributions described in Section 14.04(c), which distribution has a per share value exceeding 10% of the Closing Sale Price of Common Stock as of the Trading Day immediately preceding the declaration date for such distribution,

then, in either case, the Company shall notify in writing all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) either (x) at least 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution or (y) at least 10 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; provided that, if the Company provides such notice in accordance with this clause (y) but not in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (x), notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Company shall be required to settle all conversions of Notes with a Conversion Date occurring during the period from, and including, the date of such notice to, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution using Physical Settlement and the Company shall so notify the Holders in such notice. Once the Company has given such notice, Holders may surrender their Notes for conversion at any time until the earlier of the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date and the Company’s announcement that such issuance or distribution will not take place. A Holder may not convert any of its Notes under this subsection (b)(ii) if the Company provides that Holders of the Notes shall participate, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of Common Stock and as a result of holding the Notes, in the relevant distribution described above without having to convert their Notes as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate on the record date for the distribution multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.

(iii) If (A) a transaction or event that constitutes a Fundamental Change or a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding January 1, 2024, regardless of whether a Holder has the right to require the Company to repurchase the Notes pursuant to Section 15.02, or (B) the Company is a party to a consolidation, merger, binding share exchange, or sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets that occurs prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding January 1, 2024, in each case, pursuant to which the Common Stock would be converted into cash, securities or other assets, then all or any portion of a Holder’s Notes may be surrendered for conversion at any time from or after the date that is 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the transaction (or, if later, the earlier of (x) the Business Day after the Company gives notice of such transaction and (y) the actual effective date of such transaction) until 35 Trading Days after the actual effective date of such transaction or, if such transaction also constitutes a Fundamental Change, until the close of business on the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date. The Company shall give notice to

 

48


Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) (x) as promptly as practicable following the date the Company publicly announces such transaction but in no event less than 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction or (y) if the Company does not have knowledge of such transaction at least 35 Scheduled Trading Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such transaction, within one Business Day of the date upon which the Company receives notice, or otherwise becomes aware, of such transaction, but in no event later than the actual effective date of such transaction; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to provide such notice to the Holders before the earlier of such time as the Company or its affiliates (x) have publicly disclosed or acknowledged the circumstances giving rise to such transaction or event and (y) are required to publicly disclose under applicable law or the rules of any securities exchange on which the Common Stock is then listed or admitted for trading the circumstances giving rise to such transaction or event.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.01, on and after July 1, 2020, but prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding January 1, 2024, a Holder may surrender all or any portion of its Notes for conversion at the Applicable Conversion Rate, at any time during a calendar quarter, but only during that calendar quarter, if the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock for at least 20 Trading Days (whether or not consecutive) during the period of 30 consecutive Trading Days ending on, and including, the last Trading Day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 110% of the Conversion Price on each applicable Trading Day. The Company shall determine at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter whether the Notes may be surrendered for conversion in accordance with this clause Section 14.01(b)(iv) and shall notify the Holders, the Conversion Agent and the Trustee if the Notes become convertible in accordance with this clause (iv). Such notice shall be delivered no later than no later than the open of business on the sixth Business Day of the month immediately after the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter.

(v) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture: (a) the maximum amount a converting holder is entitled to convert within any one calendar quarter, pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(i) and Section 14.01(b)(iv), shall not exceed 30% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Note(s) held by such converting holder (“Conversion Limitation”) and upon delivery of any Conversion Notice (including through the applicable procedures of the Depositary), such converting holder shall be deemed to represent and warrant that such limitation is not exceeded. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall have no obligation to monitor the Conversion Limitation and shall have no liability for any conversions made by holders exceeding the Conversion Limitation.

Section 14.02. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 14.03. Conversion Procedure; Settlement Upon Conversion.

(a) Subject to this Section 14.03, Section 14.04(b) and Section 14.08(a), upon conversion of any Note pursuant to Section 14.01, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, to the converting Holder, in respect of each $1.00 principal amount of Notes being converted, cash (“Cash Settlement”), shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 14.03 (“Physical Settlement”) or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with subsection (j) of this Section 14.03 (“Combination Settlement”), at its election, as set forth in this Section 14.03.

 

49


(i) All conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after January 1, 2024 shall be settled using the same Settlement Method.

(ii) Except for any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after January 1, 2024, the Company shall use the same Settlement Method for all conversions with the same Conversion Date, but the Company shall not have any obligation to use the same Settlement Method with respect to conversions with different Conversion Dates.

(iii) If, in respect of any Conversion Date (or one of the periods described in the third immediately succeeding set of parentheses, as the case may be), the Company elects to deliver a notice (the “Settlement Notice”) of the relevant Settlement Method in respect of such Conversion Date (or such period, as the case may be), the Company shall deliver such Settlement Notice to converting Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) no later than the close of business on the Trading Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date (or, in the case of any conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs on or after January 1, 2024, no later than January 1, 2024). If the Company does not elect a Settlement Method prior to the deadline set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company shall no longer have the right to elect Cash Settlement or Physical Settlement and the Company shall be deemed to have elected Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation, and the Specified Dollar Amount per $1.00 principal amount of Notes shall be equal to $1.00. Such Settlement Notice shall specify the relevant Settlement Method and in the case of an election of Combination Settlement, the relevant Settlement Notice shall indicate the Specified Dollar Amount per $1.00 principal amount of Notes. If the Company delivers a Settlement Notice electing Combination Settlement in respect of its Conversion Obligation but does not indicate a Specified Dollar Amount per $1.00 principal amount of Notes in such Settlement Notice, the Specified Dollar Amount per $1.00 principal amount of Notes shall be deemed to be $1.00.

(iv) The cash, shares of Common Stock or combination of cash and shares of Common Stock in respect of any conversion of Notes (the “Settlement Amount”) shall be computed as follows:

(A) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Physical Settlement, the Company shall deliver to the converting Holder in respect of each $1.00 principal amount of Notes being converted a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date plus cash in lieu;

(B) if the Company elects to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Cash Settlement, the Company shall pay to the converting Holder in respect of each $1.00 principal amount of Notes being converted cash in an amount equal to the sum of the Daily Conversion Values for each of the 25 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period; and

(C) if the Company elects (or is deemed to have elected) to satisfy its Conversion Obligation in respect of such conversion by Combination Settlement, the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, in respect of each $1.00 principal amount of Notes being converted, a Settlement Amount equal to the sum of the Daily Settlement Amounts for each of the 25 consecutive Trading Days during the related Observation Period plus cash in lieu.

 

50


(v) The Daily Settlement Amounts (if applicable) and the Daily Conversion Values (if applicable) shall be determined by the Company promptly following the last day of the Observation Period. Promptly after such determination of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock, the Company shall notify the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the Daily Settlement Amounts or the Daily Conversion Values, as the case may be, and the amount of cash payable in lieu of delivering fractional shares of Common Stock. The Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) shall have no responsibility for any such determination.

(b) Subject to Section 14.03(e), before any Holder of a Note shall be entitled to convert a Note as set forth above, such Holder shall (i) in the case of a Global Note, comply with the procedures of the Depositary in effect at that time and, if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.03(h) and (ii) in the case of a Physical Note (1) complete, manually sign and deliver an irrevocable notice to the Conversion Agent as set forth in the Form of Notice of Conversion (or a facsimile thereof) (a “Notice of Conversion”) at the office of the Conversion Agent and state in writing therein the principal amount of Notes to be converted and the name or names (with addresses) in which such Holder wishes the certificate or certificates for any shares of Common Stock to be delivered upon settlement of the Conversion Obligation to be registered, (2) surrender such Notes, duly endorsed to the Company or in blank (and accompanied by appropriate endorsement and transfer documents), at the office of the Conversion Agent, (3) if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and (4) if required, pay funds equal to interest payable on the next Interest Payment Date to which such Holder is not entitled as set forth in Section 14.03(h). The Trustee (and if different, the Conversion Agent) shall notify the Company of any conversion pursuant to this Article 14 on the Conversion Date for such conversion. No Notice of Conversion with respect to any Notes may be surrendered by a Holder thereof if such Holder has also delivered a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice to the Company in respect of such Notes and has not validly withdrawn such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with Section 15.03.

If more than one Note shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the Conversion Obligation with respect to such Notes shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted thereby) so surrendered.

(c) A Note shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business on the date (the “Conversion Date”) that the Holder has complied with the requirements set forth in subsection (b) above. Except as set forth in Section 14.04(b) and Section 14.08(a), the Company shall pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due in respect of the Conversion Obligation on the second Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date, if the Company elects Physical Settlement, or on the second Business Day immediately following the last Trading Day of the Observation Period, in the case of any other Settlement Method. If any shares of Common Stock are due to a converting Holder, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued, and deliver to the stock transfer agent or to such Holder, or such Holder’s nominee or nominees, the full number of shares of Common Stock to which such Holder shall be entitled, in book-entry format through the Depositary, in satisfaction of the Company’s Conversion Obligation.

(d) In case any Physical Note shall be surrendered for partial conversion, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Holder of the Physical Note so surrendered a new Physical Note or Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the surrendered Physical Note, without payment of any service charge by the converting Holder but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of

 

51


a sum sufficient to cover any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax or similar governmental charge required by law or that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Physical Notes issued upon such conversion being different from the name of the Holder of the old Physical Notes surrendered for such conversion.

(e) If a Holder submits a Note for conversion, the Company shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of Common Stock upon conversion, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests such shares to be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder shall pay that tax. The stock transfer agent may refuse to deliver the certificates representing the shares of Common Stock being issued in a name other than the Holder’s name until the Trustee receives a sum sufficient to pay any tax that is due by such Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.

(f) Except as provided in Section 14.05, no adjustment shall be made for dividends on any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of any Note as provided in this Article 14.

(g) Upon the conversion of an interest in a Global Note, the Trustee, or the Custodian at the direction of the Trustee, shall make a notation on such Global Note as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any conversion of Notes effected through any Conversion Agent other than the Trustee.

(h) Upon conversion, a Holder shall not receive any separate cash payment for accrued and unpaid interest, if any, except as set forth below. The Company’s settlement of the full Conversion Obligation shall be deemed to satisfy in full its obligation to pay the principal amount of the Note and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date. As a result, accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the relevant Conversion Date shall be deemed to be paid in full rather than cancelled, extinguished or forfeited. Upon a conversion of Notes into a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, accrued and unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid first out of the cash paid upon such conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Notes are converted after the close of business on a Regular Record Date, Holders of such Notes as of the close of business on such Regular Record Date will receive the full amount of interest payable on such Notes (including a PIK Payment, if applicable) on the corresponding Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion. Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date to the open of business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date, however, must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted (regardless of whether a PIK Payment will be made or shares of common stock will be issued, and in the event of a PIK Payment or distribution of shares of common stock, the interest payable will be the cash equivalent of any PIK Payment); provided that no such payment shall be required (1) for conversions following the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Repurchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (3) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exists at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. Therefore, for the avoidance of doubt, all Holders of record on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date shall receive the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date in cash regardless of whether their Notes have been converted following such Regular Record Date.

(i) The Person in whose name the shares of Common Stock shall be issuable upon conversion shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the close of business on the relevant Conversion Date (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement) or the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (if the Company elects to satisfy the related Conversion

 

52


Obligation by Combination Settlement), as the case may be. Upon a conversion of Notes, such Person shall no longer be a Holder of such Notes surrendered for conversion.

(j) The Company shall not issue any fractional share of Common Stock upon conversion of the Notes and shall instead pay cash in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock issuable upon conversion based on the Daily VWAP for the relevant Conversion Date (in the case of Physical Settlement) or based on the Daily VWAP for the last Trading Day of the relevant Observation Period (in the case of Combination Settlement). For each Note surrendered for conversion, if the Company has elected Combination Settlement, the full number of shares that shall be issued upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate Daily Settlement Amounts for the relevant Observation Period and any fractional shares remaining after such computation shall be paid in cash.

Section 14.04. Increased Applicable Conversion Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes. (a) If the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date, and a Holder elects to convert its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Company shall, under the circumstances described below, increase the Applicable Conversion Rate for the Notes so surrendered for conversion by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), as described below. A conversion of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” such Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Notice of Conversion is received by the Conversion Agent from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the proviso in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the 35th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”).

(b) Upon surrender of Notes for conversion in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change pursuant to Section 14.01(b)(iii), the Company shall, at its option, satisfy the related Conversion Obligation by Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement in accordance with Section 14.03; provided, however, that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Reference Property following such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any conversion of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Conversion Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1.00 principal amount of converted Notes equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate (including any adjustment for Additional Shares), multiplied by such Stock Price. In such event, the Conversion Obligation shall be paid to Holders in cash on the third Business Day following the Conversion Date. The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change and issue a press release announcing such Effective Date no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.

(c) The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be increased shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective (in each case, the “Effective Date”), and the price paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change (the “Stock Price”). If the holders of the Common Stock receive in exchange for their Common Stock only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (b) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price shall be the cash amount paid per share. Otherwise, the Stock Price shall be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change. The Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to the Stock

 

53


Price, in its good faith determination, to account for any adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date (as such term is used in Section 14.05) or expiration date of the event occurs during such five consecutive Trading Day period.

(d) The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Applicable Conversion Rate of the Notes is otherwise adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Applicable Conversion Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Applicable Conversion Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in the table below shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Applicable Conversion Rate as set forth in Section 14.05.

(e) The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock by which the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be increased per $1.00 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this Section 14.04 for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below:

 

     Stock Price

The exact Stock Price and Effective Date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:

(i) if the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table above or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the higher and lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year;

(ii) if the Stock Price is greater than $5.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Applicable Conversion Rate; and

(iii) if the Stock Price is less than $0.8262 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to subsection (d) above), no Additional Shares shall be added to the Applicable Conversion Rate.

 

54


Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Applicable Conversion Rate per $1.00 principal amount of Notes exceed 1.21 shares of Common Stock, subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Applicable Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.05.

(f) Nothing in this Section 14.04 shall prevent an adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.05 in respect of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change.

Section 14.05. Adjustment of Applicable Conversion Rate. The Applicable Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time by the Company if any of the following events occurs, except that the Company shall not make any adjustments to the Applicable Conversion Rate if Holders of the Notes participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and solely as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described in this Section 14.05, without having to convert their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.

(a) If the Company issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on shares of the Common Stock, or if the Company effects a share split or share combination, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

LOGO

where,

CR0 = the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the open of business on the Effective Date of such share split or share combination, as applicable;

 

CR’    =    the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date, as the case may be;

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date, as the case may be; and

 

OS’    =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination.

Any adjustment made under this Section 14.05(a) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the open of business on the Effective Date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.05(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Applicable Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.

 

55


(b) If the Company issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the announcement date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

LOGO

where,

CR0 = the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;

 

CR’    =    the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

 

X    =    the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and

Y = the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants, divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.

Any increase made under this Section 14.05(b) shall be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that shares of the Common Stock are not delivered after the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Applicable Conversion Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Applicable Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance had not occurred.

For purposes of this Section 14.05(b) and for the purpose of Section 14.01(b)(ii)(A), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Company for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors.

 

56


(c) If the Company distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the Company or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding (i) dividends, distributions or issuances as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 14.05(a) or Section 14.05(b), (ii) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which the provisions set forth in Section 14.05(d) shall apply, (iii) except as otherwise provided in Section 14.12, rights issued under a stockholder rights plan of the Company, (iv) distributions of Reference Property in exchange for or upon conversion of the Common Stock in a Share Exchange Event and (v) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 14.05(c) shall apply (any of such shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, other assets or property or rights, options or warrants to acquire Capital Stock or other securities, the “Distributed Property”), then the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

LOGO

where,

CR0 = the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;

 

CR’    =    the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date;

SP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and

 

FMV    =    the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) of the Distributed Property with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

Any increase made under the portion of this Section 14.05(c) above shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula shall result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate; provided that if such distribution is not so paid or made, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be decreased to the Applicable Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, in respect of each $1.00 principal amount thereof, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock receive the Distributed Property, the amount and kind of Distributed Property such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect on the Ex-Dividend Date for the distribution. If the Board of Directors determines the “FMV” (as defined above) of any distribution for purposes of this Section 14.05(c) by reference to the actual or when-issued trading market for any securities, it shall in doing so consider the prices in such market over the same period used in computing the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.

 

57


With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.05(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary or other business unit of the Company, that are, or, when issued, will be, listed or admitted for trading on a U.S. national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

LOGO

where,

CR0 = the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period;

 

CR’    =    the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;

FMV0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of the Common Stock applicable to one share of the Common Stock (determined by reference to the definition of Last Reported Sale Price as set forth in Section 1.01 as if references therein to Common Stock were to such Capital Stock or similar equity interest) over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and

MP0 = the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the Valuation Period.

The adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate under the preceding paragraph shall occur at the close of business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period; provided that (x) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Physical Settlement is applicable, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the Valuation Period, references to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off and the Conversion Date in determining the Applicable Conversion Rate and (y) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the Valuation Period, references to “10” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off and such Trading Day in determining the Applicable Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day. If the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off is after the 10th Trading Day immediately preceding, and including, the end of any Observation Period in respect of a conversion of Notes, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph and this paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion of Notes, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date for the Spin-Off to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Observation Period.

For purposes of this Section 14.05(c) (and subject in all respect to Section 14.12), rights, options or warrants distributed by the Company to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Company’s Capital Stock, including Common Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Event”): (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of the Common Stock; (ii) are not exercisable; and (iii) are also issued in respect of future issuances of the Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 14.05(c) (and

 

58


no adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate under this Section 14.05(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event, whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be made under this Section 14.05(c). If any such right, option or warrant, including any such existing rights, options or warrants distributed prior to the date of this Indenture, are subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such rights, options or warrants become exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date with respect to new rights, options or warrants with such rights (in which case the existing rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders thereof). In addition, in the event of any distribution (or deemed distribution) of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the immediately preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate under this Section 14.05(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants that shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final purchase (x) the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Applicable Conversion Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share purchase price received by a holder or holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants that shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options and warrants had not been issued.

For purposes of Section 14.05(a), Section 14.05(b) and this Section 14.05(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.05(c) is applicable also includes one or both of:

(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 14.05(a) is applicable (the “Clause A Distribution”); or

(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 14.05(b) is applicable (the “Clause B Distribution”),

then, in either case, (1) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.05(c) is applicable (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Applicable Conversion Rate adjustment required by this Section 14.05(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall then be made, and (2) the Clause A Distribution and Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Applicable Conversion Rate adjustment required by Section 14.05(a) and Section 14.05(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company (I) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (II) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or Clause B Distribution shall be deemed not to be “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date or Effective Date” within the meaning of Section 14.05(a) or “outstanding immediately prior to the open of business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 14.05(b).

(d) If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

 

59


LOGO

where,

CR0 = the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

 

CR’    =    the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;

SP0 = the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution; and

 

C    =    the amount in cash per share the Company distributes to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock.

Any increase pursuant to this Section 14.05(d) shall become effective immediately after the open of business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula shall result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate; provided that if such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make or pay such dividend or distribution, to be the Applicable Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of a Note shall receive, for each $1.00 principal amount of Notes, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate on the Ex-Dividend Date for such cash dividend or distribution.

(e) If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries make a payment in respect of a tender or exchange offer for the Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:

 

LOGO

where,

CR0 = the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

 

CR’    =    the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect immediately after the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires;

 

60


AC    =    the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender or exchange offer;

OS0 = the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the date such tender or exchange offer expires (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer);

 

OS’    =    the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the date such tender or exchange offer expires (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares of Common Stock accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and

 

SP’    =    the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires.

The increase to the Applicable Conversion Rate under this Section 14.05(e) shall occur at the close of business on the 10th Trading Day immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires; provided that (x) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Physical Settlement is applicable, if the relevant Conversion Date occurs during the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the date that such tender or exchange offer expires and the Conversion Date in determining the Applicable Conversion Rate and (y) in respect of any conversion of Notes for which Cash Settlement or Combination Settlement is applicable, for any Trading Day that falls within the relevant Observation Period for such conversion and within the 10 Trading Days immediately following, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the expiration date of any tender or exchange offer, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed between the expiration date of such tender or exchange offer and such Trading Day in determining the Applicable Conversion Rate as of such Trading Day. In addition, if the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires is after the 10th Trading Day immediately preceding, and including, the end of any Observation Period in respect of a conversion of Notes, references to “10” or “10th” in the preceding paragraph and this paragraph shall be deemed to be replaced, solely in respect of that conversion of Notes, with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the date such tender or exchange offer expires to, and including, the last Trading Day of such Observation Period. No adjustment pursuant to the above formula shall result in a decrease of the Conversion Rate. If the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to purchase Common Stock pursuant to any such tender offer or exchange offer, but the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is ultimately prevented by applicable law from effecting all or any portion of such purchases or all or any portion of such purchases are rescinded, the Conversion Rate shall immediately be readjusted to be the Conversion Rate that would then be in effect if such tender offer or exchange offer had not been made or had been made only in respect of the purchase of Common Stock that had been effected.

(f) Notwithstanding this Section 14.05 or any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes, if a Applicable Conversion Rate adjustment becomes effective on any Ex-Dividend Date, and a Holder that has converted its Notes on or after such Ex-Dividend Date and on or prior to the related Record Date would be treated as the record holder of the shares of Common Stock as of the related Conversion Date as described under Section 14.03(i) based on an adjusted Applicable Conversion Rate for such Ex-Dividend Date, then, notwithstanding the Applicable Conversion Rate adjustment provisions in this Section 14.05, the Applicable Conversion Rate adjustment relating to such Ex-Dividend Date shall not be made for such

 

61


converting Holder. Instead, such Holder shall be treated as if such Holder were the record owner of the shares of Common Stock on an unadjusted basis and participate in the related dividend, distribution or other event giving rise to such adjustment.

(g) Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Applicable Conversion Rate for the issuance of shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities.

(h) In addition to those adjustments required by clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 14.05, and to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company from time to time may increase the Applicable Conversion Rate by any amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the applicable rules of any exchange on which any of the Company’s securities are then listed, the Company may (but is not required to) increase the Applicable Conversion Rate to avoid or diminish any income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock (or rights to acquire shares of Common Stock) or similar event. Whenever the Applicable Conversion Rate is increased pursuant to either of the preceding two sentences, the Company shall deliver to the Holder of each Note a notice of the increase at least 15 days prior to the date the increased Applicable Conversion Rate takes effect, and such notice shall state the increased Applicable Conversion Rate and the period during which it will be in effect.

(i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 14, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall not be adjusted:

(i) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the Company’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;

(ii) upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan or program of or assumed by the Company or any of the Company’s Subsidiaries;

(iii) upon the issuance of any shares of the Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in clause (ii) of this subsection and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;

(iv) solely for a change in the par value of the Common Stock; or

(v) for accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

(j) All calculations and other determinations under this Article 14 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share. The Company shall not be required to make an adjustment in the Conversion Rate unless the adjustment would require a change of at least 1% in the Conversion Rate; provided that the Company shall carry forward any adjustment that is less than 1% of the Conversion Rate, take such carried-forward adjustments into account in any subsequent adjustment, and make such carried forward adjustments, regardless of whether the aggregate adjustment is less than 1%, (i) on the Conversion Date for any Notes, (ii) on each Trading

 

62


Day of the Conversion Period in respect of any Notes, and (iii) on any Fundamental Change effective date, unless such adjustment has already been made.

(k) Whenever the Applicable Conversion Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Conversion Agent if not the Trustee) an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Applicable Conversion Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Applicable Conversion Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect. Promptly after delivery of such certificate, the Company shall prepare a notice of such adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Rate setting forth the adjusted Applicable Conversion Rate and the date on which each adjustment becomes effective and shall deliver such notice of such adjustment of the Applicable Conversion Rate to each Holder. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of any such adjustment.

(l) For purposes of this Section 14.05, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company so long as the Company does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company, but shall include shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.

Section 14.06. Adjustments of Prices. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts over a span of multiple days (including an Observation Period and the period for determining the Stock Price for purposes of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change), the Board of Directors shall make appropriate adjustments to each to account for any adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Applicable Conversion Rate where the Ex-Dividend Date, Effective Date or expiration date, as the case may be, of the event occurs, at any time during the period when the Last Reported Sale Prices, the Daily VWAPs, the Daily Conversion Values or the Daily Settlement Amounts are to be calculated.

Section 14.07. Shares to Be Fully Paid. The Company shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for conversion of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for conversion (assuming delivery of the maximum number of Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.04 and that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be converted by a single Holder and that Physical Settlement were applicable).

Section 14.08. Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock.

(a) In the case of:

(i) any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than changes resulting from a subdivision or combination or a change of par value or to no par value),

(ii) any consolidation, merger, combination or similar transaction involving the Company,

(iii) any sale, assignment, conveyance, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and the Company’s Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety or

 

63


(iv) any statutory share exchange,

in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Share Exchange Event”), then, at and after the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the right to convert each $1.00 principal amount of Notes shall be changed into a right to convert such principal amount of Notes into the kind and amount of shares of stock, other securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) that a holder of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate immediately prior to such Share Exchange Event would have owned or been entitled to receive (the “Reference Property,” with each “unit of Reference Property” meaning the kind and amount of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock is entitled to receive) upon such Share Exchange Event and, prior to or at the effective time of such Share Exchange Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing Person, as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture permitted under Section 10.01(g) providing for such change in the right to convert each $1.00 principal amount of Notes; provided, however, that at and after the effective time of the Share Exchange Event (A) the Company shall continue to have the right to determine the form of consideration to be paid or delivered, as the case may be, upon conversion of Notes in accordance with Section 14.03 and (B) (I) any amount payable in cash upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.03 shall continue to be payable in cash, (II) any shares of Common Stock that the Company would have been required to deliver upon conversion of the Notes in accordance with Section 14.03 shall instead be deliverable in the amount and type of Reference Property that a holder of that number of shares of Common Stock would have been entitled to receive in such Share Exchange Event and (III) the Daily VWAP shall be calculated based on the value of a unit of Reference Property.

If the Share Exchange Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), then (i) the Reference Property into which the Notes will be convertible shall be deemed to be (x) the weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election or (y) if no holders of Common Stock affirmatively make such an election, the types and amounts of consideration actually received by the holders of Common Stock, and (ii) the unit of Reference Property for purposes of the immediately preceding paragraph shall refer to the consideration referred to in clause (i) attributable to one share of Common Stock. If the holders of the Common Stock receive only cash in such Share Exchange Event, then for all conversions for which the relevant Conversion Date occurs after the effective date of such Share Exchange Event (A) the consideration due upon conversion of each $1.00 principal amount of Notes shall be solely cash in an amount equal to the Applicable Conversion Rate in effect on the Conversion Date (as may be increased by any Additional Shares pursuant to Section 14.04), multiplied by the price paid per share of Common Stock in such Share Exchange Event and (B) the Company shall satisfy the Conversion Obligation by paying cash to converting Holders on the third Business Day immediately following the relevant Conversion Date. The Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) of such weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.

Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for anti-dilution and other adjustments that shall be as nearly equivalent as is possible to the adjustments provided for in this Article 14. If, in the case of any Share Exchange Event, the Reference Property includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a Person other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be, in such Share Exchange Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other Person and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the Notes as

 

64


the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary by reason of the foregoing, including the provisions providing for the purchase rights set forth in Article 15.

(b) When the Company executes a supplemental indenture pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 14.08, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the reasons therefor, the kind or amount of cash, securities or property or asset that will comprise a unit of Reference Property after any such Share Exchange Event, any adjustment to be made with respect thereto and that all conditions precedent have been complied with, and shall promptly deliver notice thereof to all Holders. The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be delivered to each Holder within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture.

(c) The Company shall not become a party to any Share Exchange Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 14.08. None of the foregoing provisions shall affect the right of a holder of Notes to convert its Notes into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s election, as set forth in Section 14.01 and Section 14.03 prior to the effective date of such Share Exchange Event.

(d) The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to successive Share Exchange Events.

Section 14.09. Certain Covenants. (a) The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Notes will be fully paid and non-assessable by the Company and free from all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(b) The Company covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of conversion of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be validly issued upon conversion, the Company will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.

(c) The Company further covenants that if at any time the Common Stock shall be listed on any national securities exchange or automated quotation system the Company will list and keep listed, so long as the Common Stock shall be so listed on such exchange or automated quotation system, any Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes.

Section 14.10. Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder to determine the Applicable Conversion Rate (or any adjustment thereto) or whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment (including any increase) of the Applicable Conversion Rate, or with respect to the nature or extent or calculation of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same. The Trustee and any other Conversion Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock, or of any securities, property or cash that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Note; and the Trustee and any other Conversion Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Note for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Trustee nor any Conversion Agent shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any provisions contained in any

 

65


supplemental indenture entered into pursuant to Section 14.08 relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash) receivable by Holders upon the conversion of their Notes after any event referred to in such Section 14.08 or to any adjustment to be made with respect thereto, but, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may accept (without any independent investigation) as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, the Officers’ Certificate (which the Company shall be obligated to file with the Trustee prior to the execution of any such supplemental indenture) with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor the Conversion Agent shall be responsible for determining whether any event contemplated by Section 14.01(b) has occurred that makes the Notes eligible for conversion or no longer eligible therefor until the Company has delivered to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent the notices referred to in Section 14.01(b) with respect to the commencement or termination of such conversion rights, on which notices the Trustee and the Conversion Agent may conclusively rely, and the Company agrees to deliver such notices to the Trustee and the Conversion Agent immediately after the occurrence of any such event or at such other times as shall be provided for in Section 14.01(b).

Section 14.11. Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. In case of any:

(a) action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries that would require an adjustment in the Applicable Conversion Rate pursuant to Section 14.05 or Section 14.12;

(b) Share Exchange Event; or

(c) voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

then, in each case (unless notice of such event is otherwise required pursuant to another provision of this Indenture), the Company shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and the Conversion Agent (if other than the Trustee) and to be delivered to each Holder, as promptly as possible but in any event at least 20 days prior to the applicable date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record are to be determined for the purposes of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, or (ii) the date on which such Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is expected to become effective or occur, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Failure to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such action by the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, Share Exchange Event, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up.

Section 14.12. Stockholder Rights Plans. If the Company has a stockholder rights plan in effect upon conversion of the Notes, each share of Common Stock, if any, issued upon such conversion shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of rights, if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon such conversion shall bear such legends, if any, in each case as may be provided by the terms of any such stockholder rights plan, as the same may be amended from time to time. However, if, prior to any conversion of Notes, the rights have separated from the shares of Common Stock in accordance with the provisions of the applicable stockholder rights plan, the Applicable Conversion Rate shall be adjusted at the time of separation as if the Company distributed to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock Distributed Property as provided in Section 14.05(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration or termination of such rights.

Section 14.13. Ownership Limitation.

 

66


(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 14.01, during any period of time in which a Holder’s “beneficial ownership” (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act) of Common Stock is less than 9.5%, the Holder shall not have the right to voluntarily convert all or any portion of the Notes, and shall not be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock in exchange therefore, if (but only to the extent that) upon and after giving effect to such conversion (and issuance of any shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of any Fundamental Change or Make-Whole Fundamental Change, as the case may be), and taking into account the method of settlement elected by (or deemed to have been elected by) the Company under Section 14.03, such Holder (together with such Holder’s Affiliated Parties (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder or any of its Affiliates and any other persons or entities whose beneficial ownership of Common Stock would be aggregated with the Holder’s for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act (the “Affiliated Parties”) (including shares held by any “group” of which the Holder or any of its Affiliated Parties is a member)) would have beneficial ownership of more than 9.5% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding (the “Ownership Limitation”); provided, that, a Holder may, at its option and upon not less than sixty-one (61) days’ prior notice to the Company, elect to increase the Ownership Limitation up to 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock then issued and outstanding. Any such increase will not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The Company hereby covenants and agrees not to adopt any shareholder rights plan or take any other action which would have the effect of restricting or adversely affecting the Holder’s election to change such threshold percentage. When submitting any Conversion Notice through the applicable procedures of the Depositary, such holder shall be deemed to represent and warrant that such conversion will not result in a breach of the Ownership Limitation.

The Trustee and the Conversion Agent shall have no obligation to monitor a Holder’s beneficial ownership of Common Stock or the Ownership Limitation and shall have no liability for conversions made by beneficial owners exceeding the Ownership Limitation.

(b) For the avoidance of doubt, if a Holder, pursuant to Section 14.01(a), purports to convert the Principal Amount of any Notes into shares of Common Stock hereunder and any delivery otherwise owed to such Holder hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the Ownership Limitation or any other limitation set forth herein, then the Holder’s rights under the relevant Notes, or portion thereof, pursuant to which such delivery was not made will not be extinguished and, instead such Notes, or portion thereof, will be deemed to have never been converted.

ARTICLE 15

REPURCHASE OF NOTES AT OPTION OF HOLDERS

Section 15.01. [Intentionally Omitted].

Section 15.02. Repurchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change. (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs at any time, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof that is equal to $1.00 or an integral multiple of $1.00, on the date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 calendar days or more than 35 calendar days following the date of the Fundamental Change Company Notice at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Price”), unless the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date falls after a Regular Record Date but on or prior to the Interest Payment Date to which such Regular Record Date relates, in which case the Company shall instead pay the full amount of accrued and unpaid interest to Holders of record as of such Regular Record Date, and the Fundamental

 

67


Change Repurchase Price shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased pursuant to this Article 15.

(b) Repurchases of Notes under this Section 15.02 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:

(i) delivery to the Paying Agent or tender agent appointed by the Company to facilitate the repurchase (the “Tender Agent”) by a Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice”) in the form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A, if the Notes are Physical Notes, or in compliance with the Depositary’s procedures for surrendering interests in Global Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in each case on or before the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date; and

(ii) delivery of the Notes, if the Notes are Physical Notes, to the Paying Agent or Tender Agent at any time after delivery of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice (together with all necessary endorsements for transfer) at the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent or the principal office of the Tender Agent located in the contiguous United States as notified by the Tender Agent to Holders and the Trustee, as the case may be, or book-entry transfer of the Notes, if the Notes are Global Notes, in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in each case such delivery being a condition to receipt by the Holder of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price therefor.

The Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be repurchased shall state:

(i) in the case of Physical Notes, the certificate numbers of the Notes to be delivered for repurchase;

(ii) the portion of the principal amount of Notes to be repurchased, which must be $1.00 or an integral multiple thereof; and

(iii) that the Notes are to be repurchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice must comply with appropriate Depositary procedures.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent or Tender Agent, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice contemplated by this Section 15.02 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent or Tender Agent, as the case may be, in accordance with Section 15.03.

The Paying Agent or Tender Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.

(c) On or before the fifth (5th) Business Day after the occurrence of the effective date of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of Notes and the Trustee, Conversion Agent (in the case of a Conversion Agent other than the Trustee) and the Paying Agent (in the case of a Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the

 

68


occurrence of the effective date of the Fundamental Change and of the repurchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. In the case of Physical Notes, such notice shall be by first class mail or, in the case of Global Notes, such notice shall be delivered in accordance with the applicable procedures of the Depositary. Simultaneously with providing such notice, the Company shall publish a notice containing the information set forth in the Fundamental Change Company Notice in a newspaper of general circulation in The City of New York or publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time. Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

(i) the events causing the Fundamental Change and whether such Fundamental Change is a Make-Whole Adjustment Event;

(ii) the date of the Fundamental Change;

(iii) the last date on which a Holder may exercise the repurchase right pursuant to this Article 15;

(iv) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price;

(v) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date;

(vi) the name and address of the Paying Agent or Tender Agent, as the case may be, and the Conversion Agent, if applicable;

(vii) if applicable, the Applicable Conversion Rate and any adjustments to the Applicable Conversion Rate;

(viii) that the Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice has been delivered by a Holder may be converted only if the Holder withdraws the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

(ix) the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to repurchase their Notes.

No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the Holders’ repurchase rights or affect the validity of the proceedings for the repurchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 15.02.

At the Company’s request, delivered at least two Business Days prior to the Fundamental Change Company Notice is to be sent, the Trustee shall give such notice in the Company’s name and at the Company’s expense; provided, however, that, in all cases, the text of such Fundamental Change Company Notice shall be prepared by the Company.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Notes may be repurchased by the Company on any date at the option of the Holders upon a Fundamental Change if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to such date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent or Tender Agent, as the case may be, will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price with respect to such Notes), or any

 

69


instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary shall be deemed to have been cancelled, and, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.

Section 15.03. Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice. A Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Corporate Trust Office of the Paying Agent or the principal office of the Tender Agent located in the contiguous United States as notified by the Tender Agent, as the case may be, to Holders and the Trustee in accordance with this Section 15.03 at any time prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, specifying:

(i) the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted,

(ii) if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate number of the Note in respect of which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted, and

(iii) the principal amount, if any, of such Note that remains subject to the original Fundamental Change Repurchase Notice, which portion must be in principal amounts of $1.00 or an integral multiple of $1.00;

provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the notice must comply with appropriate procedures of the Depositary.

Section 15.04. Deposit of Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. (a) The Company will deposit with the Trustee (or other Paying Agent or Tender Agent, as the case may be, appointed by the Company, or if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04) on or prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date an amount of money sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes to be repurchased at the appropriate Fundamental Change Repurchase Price. Subject to receipt of funds and/or Notes by the Trustee (or other Paying Agent or Tender Agent, as the case may be, appointed by the Company), payment for Notes surrendered for repurchase (and not withdrawn prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date) will be made on the later of (i) the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (provided the Holder has satisfied the conditions in Section 15.02) and (ii) the time of book-entry transfer or the delivery of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent or Tender Agent, as the case may be, appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 15.02 by mailing checks for the amount payable to the Holders of such Notes entitled thereto as they shall appear in the Note Register; provided, however, that payments to the Depositary shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account of the Depositary or its nominee. The Trustee shall, promptly after such payment and upon written demand by the Company, return to the Company any funds in excess of the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

(b) If by 11:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, the Trustee (or other Paying Agent or Tender Agent, as the case may be, appointed by the Company) holds money sufficient to make payment on all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be repurchased on such Fundamental Change Repurchase Date, then, with respect to the Notes that have been properly surrendered for repurchase and have not been validly withdrawn, (i) such Notes will cease to be outstanding, (ii) interest will cease to accrue on such Notes (whether or not book-entry transfer of the Notes has been made or the Notes have been delivered to the Trustee or Paying Agent or Tender Agent, as the case may be,) and (iii) all other rights of the Holders of such Notes will terminate (other than the

 

70


right to receive the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price and, if applicable, accrued and unpaid interest).

(c) Upon surrender of a Physical Note that is to be repurchased in part pursuant to Section 15.02, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder a new Physical Note in an authorized denomination equal in principal amount to the unrepurchased portion of the Physical Note surrendered.

Section 15.05. Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Repurchase of Notes. In connection with any repurchase offer, the Company will, if required:

(a) comply with the provisions of Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer rules under the Exchange Act;

(b) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act; and

(c) otherwise comply with all federal and state securities laws in connection with any offer by the Company to repurchase the Notes;

in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under this Article 15 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in this Article 15.

ARTICLE 16

COLLATERAL

Section 16.01. Security Documents.

The due and punctual payment of the principal of, premium and interest on the Notes when and as the same shall be due and payable, whether on an interest payment date, at maturity, by acceleration, repurchase, redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium and interest on the Notes and payment and performance of all other obligations of the Company, shall be secured by a pledge of a perfected security interest in the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent on its behalf and on behalf of the Trustee and the Holders as provided in the Security Documents, which define the terms of the Liens that secure the obligations of the Company, subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement. The Trustee and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that the Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in trust for the benefit of the Holders and pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement. Each Holder, by accepting a Note, consents and agrees to the terms of the Security Documents (including the provisions providing for the possession, use, release and foreclosure of Collateral) and the Subordination Agreement, in each case, as the same may be in effect or may be amended from time to time in accordance with their respective terms and this Indenture and the Subordination Agreement, and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to enter into the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights thereunder in accordance therewith. Subject to the Subordination Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Collateral Agent copies of all documents required to be filed pursuant to the Security Documents, and will do or cause to be done all such acts and things as may be reasonably required by the next sentence of this Section 16.01, to assure and confirm to the Collateral Agent the security interest in the Collateral contemplated hereby, by the Security Documents or any part thereof, as from time to time constituted, so as to render the same available for the security and benefit of this Indenture and of the Notes secured hereby, according to the intent and purposes herein expressed. The Company shall take any and all actions and make all filings (including the filing of Uniform Commercial Code financing statements, continuation statements and amendments thereto) required to cause the Security Documents to

 

71


create and maintain, as security for the obligations of the Company, a valid and enforceable perfected (to the extent such security interest can be perfected by filing a UCC financing statement) Lien and security interest in and on all of the Collateral (subject to the terms of the Subordination Agreement and the Security Documents), in favor of the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Holders.

Section 16.02. Release of Collateral.

(A) in whole, upon satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as set forth under Article 3;

(B) in part, as to any property or asset constituting Collateral:

(1) that is sold or otherwise disposed of to a Person that is not the Company, or

(2) otherwise in accordance with, and as expressly provided for under the Subordination Agreement; or

(C) as described under Section 10.01.

(b) With respect to any release of Collateral, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions precedent under this Indenture and the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement, as applicable, to such release have been met and that it is proper for the Trustee or Collateral Agent to execute and deliver the documents requested by the Company in connection with such release, and any necessary or proper instruments of termination, satisfaction, discharge or release prepared by the Company, the Trustee or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall execute, deliver or acknowledge (at the Company’s expense) such instruments or releases to evidence the release and discharge of any Collateral permitted to be released pursuant to this Indenture or the Security Documents or the Subordination Agreement. Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be liable for any such release undertaken in reliance upon any such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, and, except as otherwise provided in the Subordination Agreement, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall not be under any obligation to release any such Lien and security interest, or execute and deliver any such instrument of release, satisfaction, discharge or termination, unless and until it receives such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel.

(c) At any time when a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the maturity of the Notes has been accelerated (whether by declaration or otherwise), no release of Collateral pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture or the Security Documents shall be effective as against the Holders, except as otherwise provided in the Subordination Agreement.

Section 16.03. Suits to Protect the Collateral. Subject to the provisions of Article 3 hereof, the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement, the Trustee, at the direction of Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes outstanding, shall or shall direct the Collateral Agent to take all actions in order to:

 

72


(a) enforce any of the terms of the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement; and

(b) collect and receive any and all amounts payable in respect of the obligations of the Company hereunder.

Subject to the provisions of the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement, the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have power to institute and to maintain such suits and proceedings to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of any of the Security Documents or this Indenture, and such suits and proceedings to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of the Holders in the Collateral. Nothing in this Section 16.03 shall be considered to impose any such duty or obligation to act on the part of the Trustee or the Collateral Agent.

Section 16.04. Authorization of Receipt of Funds by the Trustee Under the Collateral Documents. Subject to the provisions of the Subordination Agreement, the Trustee is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of the Holders distributed under the Security Documents, and to make further distributions of such funds to the Holders according to the provisions of this Indenture.

Section 16.05. Purchaser Protected. In no event shall any purchaser in good faith of any property purported to be released hereunder be bound to ascertain the authority of the Collateral Agent or the Trustee to execute the release or to inquire as to the satisfaction of any conditions required by the provisions hereof for the exercise of such authority or to see to the application of any consideration given by such purchaser or other transferee; nor shall any purchaser or other transferee of any property or rights permitted by this Article 16 to be sold be under any obligation to ascertain or inquire into the authority of the Company to make any such sale or other transfer.

Section 16.06. Powers Exercisable by Receiver or Trustee. In case the Collateral shall be in the possession of a receiver or trustee, lawfully appointed, the powers conferred in this Article 16 upon the Company with respect to the release, sale or other disposition of such property may be exercised by such receiver or trustee, and an instrument signed by such receiver or trustee shall be deemed the equivalent of any similar instrument of the Company or of any Officer or Officers thereof required by the provisions of this Article 16; and if the Trustee shall be in the possession of the Collateral under any provision of this Indenture, then such powers may be exercised by the Trustee.

Section 16.07. [Reserved].

Section 16.08. Collateral Agent. (a) The Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby designates and appoints the Collateral Agent as its agent under this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement and the Trustee and each of the Holders by acceptance of the Notes hereby irrevocably authorizes the Collateral Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement, and consents and agrees to the terms of the Subordination Agreement and each Security Document, as the same may be in effect or may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with their respective terms. The Collateral Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 16.08. The provisions of this Section 16.08 are solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and none of the Trustee nor any of the Holders shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions contained herein other than as expressly provided in Section 16.03. Each Holder agrees that any action taken by the Collateral Agent in accordance with the provision of this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement and the Security Documents, and the exercise by the Collateral Agent of any

 

73


rights or remedies set forth herein and therein shall be authorized and binding upon all Holders. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Collateral Agent have or be deemed to have any trust or other fiduciary relationship with the Trustee or any Holder, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” in this Indenture with reference to the Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) The Collateral Agent may perform any of its duties under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Subordination Agreement by or through receivers, agents, employees, attorneys-in-fact or with respect to any specified Person, such Person’s Affiliates, and the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and attorneys-in-fact of such Person and its Affiliates (a “Related Person”), and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties, and shall be entitled to act upon, and shall be fully protected in taking action in reliance upon any advice or opinion given by legal counsel. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or willful misconduct of any receiver, agent, employee, attorney-in-fact or Related Person that it selects as long as such selection was made with due care.

(c) None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Indenture or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or under or in connection with any Security Document or the Subordination Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Trustee or any Holder for any recital, statement, representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company, or any Officer or Related Person thereof, contained in this Indenture or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Subordination Agreement, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Subordination Agreement to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any amount in excess of the value of the Collateral. None of the Collateral Agent or any of its respective Related Persons shall be under any obligation to the Trustee or any Holder to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Subordination Agreement.

(d) The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, certification, telephone message, statement, or other communication or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Company), independent accountants and other experts and advisors selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, or other paper or document. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action

 

74


under this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Subordination Agreement unless it shall first have received indemnity or security satisfactory to it. Whenever reference is made in this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Subordination Agreement to any action by, consent, designation, specification, requirement or approval of, notice, request or other communication from, or other direction given or action to be undertaken or to be (or not to be) suffered or omitted by the Collateral Agent or to any election, decision, opinion, acceptance, use of judgment, expression of satisfaction or other exercise of discretion, rights or remedies to be made (or not to be made) by the Collateral Agent, it is understood that in all cases the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any such action under this Indenture if it shall not have received such advice or concurrence of the Trustee, acting at the direction of the required Holders of the Notes (acting in accordance with the Indenture and other transaction documents, with such direction to be binding upon all of the Holders), as it deems appropriate. This provision is intended solely for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and its successors and permitted assigns and is not intended to and will not entitle the other parties hereto to any defense, claim or counterclaim, or confer any rights or benefits on any party hereto.

(e) The Collateral Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, unless a Responsible Officer of the Collateral Agent shall have received written notice from the Trustee or the Company referring to this Indenture, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Trustee in accordance with Article 6 or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities (subject to this Section 16.08 and the Subordination Agreement).

(f) The Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent at any time upon at least 60 day’s written notice to the Holders and Trustee (which may be extended up to 90 days upon reasonable request by the Company) and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, with any such resignation or removal to become effective only upon the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent under this Section. If the Collateral Agent shall provide notice of its resignation or be removed as Collateral Agent, then the holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes or the Company may (and if no such successor shall have been appointed within 45 days of the Collateral Agent’s date of notice of resignation or removal, the Collateral Agent or the Company may) appoint a successor Collateral Agent which successor agent shall, in the case of any appointment by the Collateral Agent, be reasonably acceptable to the Holders of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, and the former Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Collateral Agent (except that the resigning Collateral Agent shall deliver all Collateral then in its possession to the successor Collateral Agent and shall execute and deliver to the successor Collateral Agent such instruments of assignment and transfer and other similar documents as such successor Collateral Agent shall deem necessary or advisable. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation or removal as Collateral Agent, the provisions of this Indenture and the Junior Lien Security Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent. In the event that a successor Collateral Agent is not appointed within the time period specified in this Section following the provision of a notice of resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Company representing at least 10% of the principal amount of the Notes may petition a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Collateral Agent. In the event that the Collateral Agent is required to acquire title to an asset, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to perform any obligation under any Security Document, which in the Collateral Agent’s sole determination may cause the Collateral Agent to incur potential liability under any environmental law, the Collateral Agent reserves the right, instead of taking such action, to resign as the Agent.

(g) Except as otherwise explicitly provided herein or in the Security Documents or the Subordination Agreement, neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees or agents or other Related Persons shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The Collateral Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it actually receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(i) If at any time or times the Trustee shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, realization, set-off or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the obligations of the Company arising under, or relating to, this Indenture, except for any such proceeds or payments received by the Trustee from the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, or (ii) payments from the Collateral Agent in excess of the amount required to be paid to the Trustee pursuant to Article 6, the Trustee shall promptly turn the same over to the Collateral Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to the Collateral Agent such proceeds to be applied by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement.

(j) The Collateral Agent is each Holder’s agent for the purpose of perfecting the Holders’ security interest in assets which, in accordance with Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code can be perfected only by possession. Should the Trustee obtain possession of any such Collateral, upon request from the Company, the Trustee shall notify the Collateral Agent thereof and promptly shall deliver such Collateral to the Collateral Agent or otherwise deal with such Collateral in accordance with the Collateral Agent’s instructions.

(k) Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to the Trustee or any of the Holders to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Company or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether all of the Company’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability, ownership, transferability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Indenture, any Security Document or the Subordination Agreement other than pursuant to the instructions of the Trustee acting upon Holder direction or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents or the Subordination Agreement, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent makes no representation or warranty and shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder as to any of the foregoing.

 

76


(l) If the Company or any Guarantor (i) incurs any obligations in respect of First Lien Obligations at any time when no Subordination Agreement is in effect or at any time when Indebtedness constituting First Lien Obligations entitled to the benefit of an existing Subordination Agreement is concurrently retired, and (ii) delivers to the Collateral Agent an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel so stating (and confirming that the execution and delivery thereof complies with the terms of this Indenture) and requesting the Collateral Agent to enter into an intercreditor agreement (on substantially the same terms as the Subordination Agreement) in favor of a designated agent or representative for the holders of the First Lien Obligations so incurred, the Collateral Agent shall (and is hereby authorized and directed to) enter into such intercreditor agreement (at the sole expense and cost of the Company, including legal fees and expenses of the Collateral Agent and its counsel), bind the Holders on the terms set forth therein and perform and observe its obligations thereunder.

(n) No provision of this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement or any Security Document shall require the Collateral Agent (or the Trustee) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or thereunder or to take or omit to take any action hereunder or thereunder or take any action at the request or direction of Holders (or the Trustee in the case of the Collateral Agent) if it shall not have received indemnity satisfactory to the Collateral Agent against potential costs and liabilities incurred by the Collateral Agent relating thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement or the Security Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire title, control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances unless the Collateral Agent has received security or indemnity from the Holders in an amount and in a form all satisfactory to the Collateral Agent in its sole discretion, protecting the Collateral Agent from all such liability. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this paragraph (n) if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.

(o) The Collateral Agent (i) shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in connection with this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement and the Security Documents or instrument referred to herein or therein, except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct, (ii) shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Collateral Agent may agree in writing with the Company (and money held in trust by the Collateral Agent need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law) and (iii) may consult

 

77

The grant of permissive rights or powers to the Collateral Agent shall not be construed to impose duties to act.

(p) Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for delays or failures in performance resulting from acts beyond its control. Such acts shall include but not be limited to acts of God, strikes, lockouts, riots, acts of war, epidemics, governmental regulations superimposed after the fact, fire, communication line failures, computer viruses, power failures, earthquakes or other disasters. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable for any indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages (included but not limited to lost profits) whatsoever, even if it has been informed of the likelihood thereof and regardless of the form of action.

(q) The Collateral Agent does not assume any responsibility for any failure or delay in performance or any breach by the Company under this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement and the Security Documents. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the Holders or any other Person for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties contained in this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement or any Security Document or in any certificate, report, statement, or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Collateral Agent under or in connection with, this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement or any Security Document; the execution, validity, genuineness, effectiveness or enforceability of the Subordination Agreement and any Security Documents of any other party thereto; the genuineness, enforceability, collectability, value, sufficiency, location or existence of any Collateral, or the validity, effectiveness, enforceability, sufficiency, extent, perfection or priority of any Lien therein; the validity, enforceability or collectability of any obligations of the Company; the assets, liabilities, financial condition, results of operations, business, creditworthiness or legal status of any obligor; or for any failure of any obligor to perform its Obligations under this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement and the Security Documents.

The Collateral Agent shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection or other proceeding under this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement and the Security Documents unless expressly set forth hereunder or thereunder. The Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions from the Holders with respect to the administration of the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement.

(r) The parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that the Collateral Agent shall not assume, be responsible for or otherwise be obligated for any liabilities, claims, causes of action, suits, losses, allegations, requests, demands, penalties, fines, settlements, damages (including foreseeable and unforeseeable), judgments, expenses and costs (including but not limited to, any remediation, corrective action, response, removal or remedial action, or investigation, operations and maintenance or monitoring costs, for personal injury or property damages, real or personal) of any kind whatsoever, pursuant to any environmental law as a result of this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement, the Security Documents or any actions taken pursuant hereto or thereto. Further, the parties hereto and the Holders hereby agree and acknowledge that in the exercise of its rights under this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement and the Security Documents, the Collateral Agent may hold or obtain indicia of ownership primarily to protect the security interest of the Collateral Agent in the Collateral and that any such actions taken by the Collateral Agent shall not be construed as or otherwise constitute any participation in the management of such Collateral.

(s) Upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a written request of the Company signed by one Officer of the Company (a “Security Document Order”), the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security Document in form satisfactory to the Collateral Agent to be executed after the Issue Date. Such Security Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 12.08(s), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Security Document.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Collateral Agent shall have no discretion under this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement or the Security Documents and shall not be required to make or give any determination, consent, approval, request or direction without the written direction of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes or the Trustee (acting at the direction of such majority), as applicable.

(u) After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Trustee (acting at the direction of Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding) shall direct the Collateral Agent in connection with any action required or permitted by this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Subordination Agreement.

(v) The Collateral Agent is authorized to receive any funds for the benefit of itself, the Trustee and the Holders distributed under the Security Documents or the Subordination Agreement and to the extent not prohibited under the Subordination Agreement, for turnover to the Trustee to make further distributions of such funds to itself, the Trustee and the Holders in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.10 hereof and the other provisions of this Indenture.

(w) Subject to the terms of the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement, in each case that the Collateral Agent may or is required hereunder or under any other Notes Documentation to take any action (an “Action”), including without limitation to make any determination, to give consents, to exercise rights, powers or remedies, to release or sell Collateral or otherwise to act hereunder or under any other Security Documents or the Subordination Agreement, the Collateral Agent will only do so upon direction and receiving indemnity satisfactory to it from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable with respect to any Action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with the direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes. Subject to the terms of the Security Documents and the Subordination Agreement, until the Collateral Agent receives direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes with respect to any Action, the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such Action unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received direction from the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes, and the Collateral Agent shall not incur liability to any Person by reason of so refraining.

 

79


(x) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, in no event shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, or have any duty or obligation with respect to, the recording, filing, registering, perfection, protection or maintenance of the security interests or Liens intended to be created by this Indenture (including without limitation the filing or continuation of any Uniform Commercial Code financing or continuation statements or similar documents or instruments), nor shall the Collateral Agent or the Trustee be responsible for, and neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee makes any representation regarding, the validity, effectiveness or priority of any of the Security Documents or the Subordination Agreement or the security interests or Liens intended to be created thereby.

(y) Before the Collateral Agent acts or refrains from acting in each case at the request or direction of the Company, it may require an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, which shall conform to the provisions of Section 17.05. The Collateral Agent shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such certificate or opinion.

(z) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Collateral Agent shall act pursuant to the instructions of the Holders and the Trustee solely with respect to the Security Documents, the Subordination Agreement and the Collateral.

(cc) In no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to execute and deliver any landlord lien waiver, estoppel or collateral access letter, or any account control agreement or any instruction or direction letter delivered in connection with such document that the Collateral Agent determines adversely affects it or otherwise subjects it to personal liability, including without limitation agreements to indemnify any contractual counterparty.

Section 16.09. Designations. Except as provided in the next sentence, for purposes of the provisions hereof and the Subordination Agreement requiring the Company to designate Indebtedness for the purposes of the term “Second Lien Obligations,” or any other such designations hereunder or under the Subordination Agreement, any such designation shall be sufficient if the relevant designation is set forth in writing, signed on behalf of the Company by an Officer and delivered to the Trustee, the Collateral Agent, the Facility Agent and ABL Agent. For all purposes hereof and the Subordination Agreement, the Company hereby designates the obligations of the Company pursuant to the ABL Agreement (as defined in the Subordination Agreement) and the Facility Agreement (as defined in the Subordination Agreement) as “First Priority Obligations” or hereunder as “First Lien Obligations.”

Section 16.10. No Impairment of the Security Interests. Except as otherwise permitted under this Indenture, the Subordination Agreement and the Security Documents, neither the Company nor any of the Guarantors will be permitted to take any action, or knowingly omit to take any action, which action or omission would have the result of materially impairing the security interest with respect to the Collateral for the benefit of the Trustee, the Collateral Agent and the Holders of the Notes.

If the Company or one of its withholding agents is required by applicable law to withhold any taxes in connection with any payments of cash or shares of Common Stock on the Notes, the Company may, at its option, withhold or cause to be withheld such amount from such payments, and such withheld amounts will be treated as having been paid with respect to such Notes provided such amounts are timely paid over to the applicable governmental authority in accordance with applicable law. For purposes of any set off against shares of Common Stock paid on the Notes, each share of Common Stock will be deemed to have a value equal to the Daily VWAP of the Common Stock on the date such withholding is required to be performed by the Company or its withholding agent.

Section 17.17. USA PATRIOT Act. The parties hereto acknowledge that in accordance with Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act, the Trustee, like all financial institutions and in order to help fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering, is required to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person or legal entity that establishes a relationship or opens an account with the

5.0% Voluntary Convertible Senior Secured Note due 2024

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 5.0% Voluntary Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “Notes”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of $[_____], all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of February [__], 2020 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.

In case certain Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of conversions, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (if applicable) and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

Each Holder shall have the right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money, or shares of Common Stock, or through an increase of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes or the issuance of paid-in-kind Notes, as the case may be, herein prescribed.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1.00 principal amount and integral multiples in excess thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer or similar tax that may be imposed in connection

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1.00 or an integral multiple thereof, into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s election, at the Applicable Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.

The undersigned acknowledges that if shares are to be issued in the name of a person other than the converting holder, the converting holder shall pay all transfer taxes payable with respect thereto.

You must check one, and only one, of the following two boxes:

☐ The undersigned is requesting registration in a name other than that of the converting holder. The converting holder acknowledges sole responsibility for the payment of any taxes that may be owing by reason thereof. If any taxes are payable upon transfer, they have already been paid.

ABA No.: ________________________________________

To avoid the application of “backup withholding” under U.S. federal income tax law, each converting holder (or other payee) should complete, sign, and deliver an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (in the case of a U.S. person or a resident alien) or an IRS Form W-8BEN or other appropriate IRS Form W-8 (in the case of a foreign holder). IRS Forms W-9 and W-8 are available on the IRS’s website at http://www.irs.gov/. Failure to include a properly completed IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 may result in the application of U.S. backup withholding.

In addition, Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the Close of Business on any Record Date to the Open of Business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted, except as specified below. THE INDENTURE REQUIRES THIS CASH PAYMENT EVEN IF THE INTEREST PAYABLE ON THE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING INTEREST PAYMENT DATE IS PAYABLE IN PIK NOTES OR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. IN THIS EVENT, EVEN THOUGH THE HOLDER HAS REMITTED A CASH PAYMENT WITH THE CONVERSION NOTICE, THE HOLDER WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY CASH AS THE INTEREST PAYMENT BUT WILL RECEIVE ONLY PIK NOTES OR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.    However, such payment need not be made: (i) if the conversion follows the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (ii) if the Issuer has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the first Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (iii) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exist at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. Where payment is owed, no conversion will occur before this payment has been received by the Issuer. Wiring instructions for any such payment of funds may be obtained by contacting the Trustee at svilhauer@WilmingtonTrust.com.

Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.

In case certain Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of conversions, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (if applicable) and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.

The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.

Each Holder shall have the right to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon conversion of, this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money, or shares of Common Stock, or through an increase of the principal amount of the outstanding Notes or the issuance of paid-in-kind Notes, as the case may be, herein prescribed.

The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1.00 principal amount and integral multiples in excess thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer or similar tax that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.


Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1.00 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Repurchase Price.

Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to convert any Notes or portion thereof that is $1.00 or an integral multiple thereof, into cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of Common Stock, at the Company’s election, at the Applicable Conversion Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.

To avoid the application of “backup withholding” under U.S. federal income tax law, each converting holder (or other payee) should complete, sign, and deliver an Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) Form W-9 (in the case of a U.S. person or a resident alien) or an IRS Form W-8BEN or other appropriate IRS Form W-8 (in the case of a foreign holder). IRS Forms W-9 and W-8 are available on the IRS’s website at http://www.irs.gov/. Failure to include a properly completed IRS Form W-9 or applicable IRS Form W-8 may result in the application of U.S. backup withholding.

In addition, Notes surrendered for conversion during the period from the Close of Business on any Record Date to the Open of Business on the immediately following Interest Payment Date must be accompanied by funds equal to the amount of interest payable on the Notes so converted, except as specified below. THE INDENTURE REQUIRES THIS CASH PAYMENT EVEN IF THE INTEREST PAYABLE ON THE IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING INTEREST PAYMENT DATE IS PAYABLE IN PIK NOTES OR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK. IN THIS EVENT, EVEN THOUGH THE HOLDER HAS REMITTED A CASH PAYMENT WITH THE CONVERSION NOTICE, THE HOLDER WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY CASH AS THE INTEREST PAYMENT BUT WILL RECEIVE ONLY PIK NOTES OR SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.    However, such payment need not be made: (i) if the conversion follows the Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (ii) if the Issuer has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the first Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (iii) to the extent of any Defaulted Amounts, if any Defaulted Amounts exist at the time of conversion with respect to such Note. Where payment is owed, no conversion will occur before this payment has been received by the Issuer. Wiring instructions for any such payment of funds may be obtained by contacting the Trustee at svilhauer@WilmingtonTrust.com.

Section 1.4 Nature of Obligations and Rights of Noteholders. The respective obligations of each Noteholder under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Noteholder, and no Noteholder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the

 

-4-


obligations of any other Noteholder under the Transaction Documents. The failure or waiver of performance under this Agreement by any Noteholder, or on its behalf, does not excuse performance by any other Noteholder. Nothing contained herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Noteholder pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Noteholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Noteholders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by any Transaction Document. Except as otherwise provided in the Transaction Documents, each Noteholder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of the Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Noteholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The decision of each Noteholder to acquire the New Notes pursuant to the Transaction Documents has been made by such Noteholder independently of any other Noteholder. Each Noteholder acknowledges that no other Noteholder has acted as agent for such Noteholder in connection with making its investment hereunder and that no Noteholder will be acting as agent of such Noteholder in connection with monitoring its investment in the New Notes, or enforcing its rights under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each of the Noteholders has been provided with the same Transaction Documents for the purpose of closing a transaction with multiple Noteholders and not because it was required or requested to do so by any Noteholder.

The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the Indemnitee in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, retained by the Indemnitee or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel to represent the Indemnitee in an action, the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the Indemnitee would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Indemnitee and the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other Indemnitees that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee to represent the Indemnitee within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the Indemnitee in writing to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnitees, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnitees are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each Indemnitee from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(a)    As of the date of this Amendment, each Loan Party, for itself and on behalf of its successors, assigns, Subsidiaries and such Loan Party’s and its Subsidiaries’ officers, directors (and any equivalent governing body), employees, agents, representatives, advisors, consultants, accountants and attorneys, and any Person acting for or on behalf of, or claiming through it (collectively, the “Releasing Persons”), hereby waives, releases, remises and forever discharges each member of the Lender Group, each of their respective Affiliates and successors in title, and past, present and future officers, directors, employees, limited partners, general partners, members, managers, investors, attorneys, assigns, subsidiaries, equityholders, trustees, agents and other professionals of the foregoing entities and all other Persons and entities to whom any member of the Lender Group would be liable if such Persons were found to be liable to such Releasing Persons (each a “Releasee” and collectively, the “Releasees”), from any and all past, present and future claims, suits, liens, lawsuits, amounts paid in settlement, debts, deficiencies, disbursements, demands, obligations, liabilities, causes of action, damages, losses, costs and expenses of any kind or character, whether based in equity, law, contract, tort, implied or express warranty, strict liability, criminal or civil statute or common law (each a “Claim” and collectively, the “Claims”), whether known or unknown, fixed or contingent, direct, indirect, or derivative, asserted or unasserted, matured or unmatured, foreseen or unforeseen, past or present, liquidated or unliquidated, suspected or unsuspected, which such Releasing Persons ever had from the beginning of the world until (and including) the date hereof, against any such Releasing Person which relates, directly or indirectly, to the Credit Agreement (including as amended hereby) or any other Loan Document (including as amended hereby, as applicable), the Stock owned by any Releasee or to any acts or omissions of any such Releasee with respect to the Credit Agreement (including as amended hereby) or any other Loan Document (including as amended hereby, as applicable) or any Stock owned by any Releasee, or to the lender-borrower relationship evidenced by the Loan Documents (including as amended hereby, as applicable) or the Stock holder or owner issuer of Stock holder issuer relationship evidenced by the Loan Documents (including as amended hereby, as applicable)..

(b)    As to each and every Claim released hereunder, each Loan Party hereby agrees, represents and warrants that it has received the advice of legal counsel with regard to the releases contained herein, and having been so advised, specifically waives the benefit of the provisions of Section 1542 of the Civil Code of California which provides as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

As to each and every Claim released hereunder, each Loan Party also waives the benefit of each other similar provision of applicable federal, state or foreign law (including without limitation

 

10


the laws of the State of New York), if any, pertaining to general releases after having been advised by legal counsel to such Loan Party with respect thereto.

(c)    Each Loan Party acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts different from or in addition to those now known or believed to be true with respect to such Claims and agrees that this Amendment shall be and remain effective in all respects notwithstanding any such differences or additional facts. Each Loan Party understands, acknowledges and agrees that the release set forth above in this Section 16 may be pleaded as a full and complete defense and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit or other proceeding which may be instituted, prosecuted or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release.

(d)    Each Loan Party hereby agrees, represents, and warrants that (i) neither such Loan Party nor any other Releasing Person has voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, assigned, conveyed, transferred or encumbered, either directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any right to or interest in any of the Claims released pursuant to this Section 16; (ii)(A) this Amendment has been entered into (1) without force or duress and (2) of the free will of each Loan Party, and (B) the decision of such undersigned to enter into this Amendment is a fully informed decision and such undersigned is aware of all legal and other ramifications of each such decision; and (iii) such Loan Party has (A) read and understands this Amendment (including the release granted in this Section 16 and the Credit Agreement (including as amended hereby)), (B) consulted with and been represented by independent legal counsel of its own choosing in negotiations for and the preparation of this Amendment, (C) read this Amendment in full and final form, and (D) been advised by its counsel of its rights and obligations under this Amendment.

(e)    Each Loan Party, for itself and on behalf of each other Releasing Person, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably covenants and agrees with and in favor of each Releasee above that it will not sue (at law, in equity, in any regulatory proceeding or otherwise) any Releasee on the basis of any Claim released, remised and discharged by such Person pursuant to the above release in this Section 16. Each Loan Party further agrees that it shall not dispute the validity or enforceability of this Amendment or any of the other Loan Documents (including as amended hereby, as applicable), or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or the creation, validity, perfection, priority, enforceability or the extent of Agent’s security interest or Lien on any item of Collateral under the Credit Agreement (including as amended hereby) and the other Loan Documents (including as amended hereby, as applicable) or the providing of any “control” (within the meaning of Articles 8 and 9 under the applicable UCC) under any Control Agreement or any other Loan Document (including as amended hereby, as applicable). If any Loan Party or any other Releasing Person breaches or otherwise violates the foregoing covenant and provisions, such Loan Party, for itself and its Releasing Persons, agrees to pay, in addition to such other damages as any Releasee may sustain as a result of such violation, all attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs and any other fees, expenses and costs incurred by such Releasee as a result of such breach or violation.

(f)    The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive the termination of this Amendment and the other Loan Documents (including as amended hereby, as applicable) and the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments.

ARTICLE II.

LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.

2.01    Revolving Loans.

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and during the term of this Agreement, each Revolving Lender agrees (severally, not jointly or jointly and severally) to make revolving loans (all such loans, collectively, the “Revolving Loans”) to Borrowers under a revolving credit facility in an amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the lesser of:

(i)    such Lender’s Revolver Commitment, or

(ii)    such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of an amount equal to the lesser of:

(A)    the amount equal to (1) the Maximum Revolver Amount less (2) the Revolver Usage at such time, and

(B)    the amount equal to (1) the Borrowing Base as of such date (based upon (x) during a Non-Third Party Agent Retention Period, the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate (Agent) delivered by Borrowers to Agent or (y) during a Third Party Agent Retention Period, the most recent Borrowing Base Certificate (Third Party Agent) delivered by Borrowers to Third Party Agent, less (2) the Revolver Usage at such time.

(b)    Amounts borrowed pursuant to this Section 2.01 may be repaid and, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, reborrowed at any time during the term of this Agreement. The outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall constitute Obligations and shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.01, Agent may at any time establish one or more Reserves against the Borrowing Base or the Maximum Revolver Amount as Agent (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, a Third Party Agent) may deem proper and appropriate in Agent’s (including, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, a Third Party Agent’s) Permitted Discretion in its capacity as an asset based lender. A Reserve may limit the Availability, reduce the Borrowing Base (by reduction of an advance rate

 

60


set forth in the Borrowing Base or otherwise), or otherwise restrict a Borrower’s ability to borrow hereunder. Agent (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, a Third Party Agent) shall endeavor to notify Borrower Representative promptly after the establishment of any Reserve; provided, however, under no circumstance shall the delivery or receipt of any such notice constitute a condition to Agent’s (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, a Third Party Agent’s) establishment of any Reserve. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, a Third Party Agent) may in Agent’s (including, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, such Third Party Agent’s) Permitted Discretion (but Agent (or such Third Party Agent, as applicable) shall have no obligation in any circumstance to) increase, reduce or release any Reserve that was previously established under this Section 2.01(c).

2.02    Borrowing Procedures and Settlements.

(a)    Procedure for Borrowing Loans. Each Borrowing shall be made by a written request by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent (and, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, also to the Third Party Agent) and received by Agent (and, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, also to the Third Party Agent) no later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day that is three (3) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date, specifying (i) the amount of such Borrowing, and (ii) the requested Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day); provided, that Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to accept as timely requests that are received later than 1:00 p.m. on the applicable Business Day.

(b)    Making of Loans.

(i)    After receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), Agent (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) shall promptly notify the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, email, or other electronic form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing. If Agent has notified the Lenders of a requested Borrowing on the Business Day that is one (1) Business Day prior to the Funding Date, then each Lender shall make the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing (or such lesser Availability amount) available to the Borrowers on the applicable Funding Date by transferring immediately available funds equal to such amount to the Borrowers; provided, that, subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(c)(ii), no Lender shall have an obligation to make any Revolving Loan, if (1) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article III will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived, or (2) the requested Borrowing would exceed the Availability on such Funding Date. Agent shall charge to the Loan Account usual and customary fees for the wire transfer of each Borrowing.

(ii)    Each Borrower and each Lender hereby authorizes Agent to make Revolving Loans on behalf of the Lenders, at any time in its sole discretion, to pay principal owing in respect of the Loans and interest, fees, expenses and other charges payable by any Loan Party from time to time arising under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(c)    Protective Advances and Optional Overadvances.

(i)    Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, but subject to Section 2.02(c)(iv), at any time (A) after the occurrence and during

 

61


the continuance of a Default or an Event of Default, or (B) that any of the other applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article III are not satisfied, Agent hereby is authorized by Borrowers and the Lenders, from time to time, in Agent’s sole discretion, to make Revolving Loans to, or for the benefit of, Borrowers, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, that Agent, in its Permitted Discretion, deems necessary or desirable (1) to preserve or protect the Collateral, or any portion thereof, or (2) to enhance the likelihood of repayment of the Obligations (the Revolving Loans described in this Section 2.02(c)(i) shall be referred to as “Protective Advances”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Protective Advance shall be made which would cause (A) the aggregate amount of all Protective Advances outstanding at any one time to exceed 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree or (B) the aggregate amount of Revolver Usage outstanding at any one time to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount.

(ii)    Any contrary provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document notwithstanding, but subject to Section 2.02(c)(iv), the Lenders hereby authorize Agent, and Agent may, but is not obligated to, knowingly and intentionally, continue to make Revolving Loans to Borrowers notwithstanding that an Overadvance exists or would be created thereby, so long as (A) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the outstanding Revolver Usage does not exceed the Borrowing Base by more than 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount (unless Required Lenders agree to a higher amount), and (B) after giving effect to such Revolving Loans, the outstanding Revolver Usage (except for and excluding amounts charged to the Loan Account for interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses) does not exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount. In the event Agent obtains actual knowledge that an Overadvance exists, regardless of the amount of, or reason for, such excess, Agent shall notify the Lenders as soon as practicable and the Lenders with Revolver Commitments thereupon shall, together with Agent, jointly determine the terms of arrangements that shall be implemented with Borrowers intended to eliminate the Overadvance within thirty (30) days. In such circumstances, if any Lender with a Revolver Commitment objects to the proposed terms of reduction or repayment of any Overadvance, the terms of reduction or repayment thereof shall be implemented according to the determination of the Required Lenders. The foregoing provisions are meant for the benefit of the Lenders and Agent and are not meant for the benefit of Borrowers, which shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Section 2.03(e). Each Lender with a Revolver Commitment shall be obligated to make Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 2.02(b) in, or settle Overadvances made by Agent with Agent as provided in Section 2.02(d), as applicable) for, the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any unintentional Overadvances by Agent reported to such Lender, any intentional Overadvances made as permitted under this Section 2.02(c)(ii), and any Overadvances resulting from the charging to the Loan Account of interest, fees, or Lender Group Expenses.

(iii)    Each Protective Advance and each Overadvance (each, an “Extraordinary Advance”) shall be deemed to be a Revolving Loan hereunder. Prior to Settlement with respect to Extraordinary Advances, all payments on the Extraordinary Advances made by Agent, including interest thereon, shall be payable to Agent solely for its own account. The Extraordinary Advances shall be repayable on demand, secured by Agent’s Liens, constitute Obligations hereunder, and bear interest at the rate applicable from time to time to Revolving Loans. The provisions of this Section 2.02(c) are for the exclusive benefit of Agent and the Lenders and are not intended to benefit Borrowers (or any other Loan Party) in any way.

 

62


(iv)    Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary: (A) no Extraordinary Advance may be made by Agent if such Extraordinary Advance would cause the aggregate principal amount of Extraordinary Advances outstanding to exceed an amount equal to 10% of the Maximum Revolver Amount; and (B) to the extent that the making of any Extraordinary Advance causes the aggregate Revolver Usage to exceed the Maximum Revolver Amount, such portion of such Extraordinary Advance shall be for Agent’s sole and separate account and not for the account of any Lender and shall be entitled to priority in repayment in accordance with Section 2.03(b).

(d)    Settlement. It is agreed that each Lender’s funded portion of the Revolving Loans is intended by the Lenders to equal, at all times, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the outstanding Revolving Loans. Such agreement notwithstanding, Agent and the Lenders agree (which agreement shall not be for the benefit of Borrowers) that in order to facilitate the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, settlement among the Lenders as to any Extraordinary Advances shall take place on a periodic basis in accordance with the following provisions:

(i)    Solely when any Extraordinary Advances are outstanding, Agent shall request settlement (“Settlement”) with the Lenders on a weekly basis, or on a more frequent basis if so determined by Agent in its sole discretion (A) for itself, with respect to the outstanding Extraordinary Advances, and (B) with respect to Borrowers’ or their Subsidiaries’ payments or other amounts received, as to each by notifying the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, or other similar form of transmission, of such requested Settlement, no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of such requested Settlement (the date of such requested Settlement being the “Settlement Date”). Such notice of a Settlement Date shall include a summary statement of the amount of outstanding Extraordinary Advances for the period since the prior Settlement Date. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein (including Section 2.02(g)): (1) if the amount of the Revolving Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender that is not a Defaulting Lender exceeds such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, then Agent shall, by no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date, transfer in immediately available funds to a Deposit Account of such Lender (as such Lender may designate), an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon receipt of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Extraordinary Advances), and (2) if the amount of the Revolving Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) made by a Lender is less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, such Lender shall no later than 12:00 p.m. on the Settlement Date transfer in immediately available funds to Agent’s Account, an amount such that each such Lender shall, upon transfer of such amount, have as of the Settlement Date, its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Extraordinary Advances). Such amounts made available to Agent under clause (2) of the immediately preceding sentence shall be applied against the amounts of the applicable Extraordinary Advances and shall constitute Revolving Loans of such Lenders.

(ii)    In determining whether a Lender’s balance of the Revolving Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) is less than, equal to, or greater than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) as of a Settlement Date, Agent

 

63


shall, as part of the relevant Settlement, apply to such balance the portion of payments actually received in good funds by Agent with respect to principal, interest, fees payable by Borrowers and allocable to the Lenders hereunder, and proceeds of Collateral.

(iii)    Between Settlement Dates, Agent, solely to the extent Extraordinary Advances for the account of Agent are outstanding, may apply any payments or other amounts received by Agent, that in accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be applied to the reduction of the Revolving Loans, to the Extraordinary Advances. During the period between Settlement Dates, Agent with respect to Extraordinary Advances, and each Lender with respect to the Revolving Loans other than Extraordinary Advances, shall be entitled to interest at the applicable rate or rates payable under this Agreement on the daily amount of funds employed by Agent, or the Lenders, as applicable.

(e)    Notation. During any Third Party Agent Retention Period, Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrowers, shall maintain a register showing the principal amount of the Loans owing to each Lender and/or Extraordinary Advances owing to Agent, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such register shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate. During any Non-Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Borrower Representative shall maintain such Loan Account and shall make such Loan Account available to Agent and the Lenders upon request therefrom. Upon the request of any Third Party Agent upon the commencement of any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Borrower Representative shall share such Loan Account and any of its applicable books and records with the Third Party Agent, and with respect to any discrepancies between the books, records or Loan Account of the Borrower Representative, on the one hand, and the books, records or Loan Account of any Lender, the Agent or the Third Party Agent, on the other hand, the books, records and Loan Account of such Lender, Agent or Third Party Agent shall govern and control in the absence of demonstrable error.

(f)    [Reserved].

(g)    Independent Obligations. All Loans (other than Extraordinary Advances) shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Loan (or other extension of credit) hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.

2.03    Payments; Reductions of Commitments; Prepayments.

(a)    Payments by Borrowers. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by Borrowers shall be made to each Lender based on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 1:30 p.m. on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, any Third Party Agent) or any Lender later than 1:30 p.m. may be deemed to have been received on the

 

64


following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day.

(b)    Apportionment and Application.

(i)    So long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, all principal and interest payments shall be paid by the Borrowers (and any such amounts received by Agent (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) shall be apportioned) ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and all payments of fees and expenses shall be paid by the Borrowers (and any such amounts received by Agent (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s or such Third Party Agent’s (as applicable) separate account) shall be apportioned) ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee or expense relates. Subject to Section 2.03(b)(iv), all payments to be made hereunder by Borrowers shall be remitted to the Lenders (other than amounts owed specifically to Agent or any Third Party Agent (as applicable)) and all such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral paid by the Borrowers to the Lenders or received by Agent (or any Third Party Agent (as applicable)), shall be applied, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, to reduce the balance of the Loans and other Obligations outstanding and, thereafter, to Borrowers (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under Applicable Law.

(ii)    At any time that an Application Event has occurred and is continuing, all payments remitted to Agent (or any Third Party Agent (as applicable)) or the Lenders and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent (or any Third Party Agent (as applicable)) or the Lenders shall be applied as follows:

(A)    first, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to Agent under the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash,

(B)    second, to pay any fees or premiums then due to Agent under the Loan Documents until paid in full in cash,

(C)    third, to pay interest due in respect of all Protective Advances until paid in full in cash,

(D)    fourth, to pay the principal of all Protective Advances until paid in full in cash,

(E)    fifth, ratably, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents, until paid in full in cash,

(F)    sixth, ratably, to pay any fees or premiums then due to any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full in cash,

 

65


(G)    seventh, ratably, to pay interest accrued in respect of the Loans (other than Protective Advances) until paid in full in cash,

(H)    eighth, ratably, to pay the principal of all Loans until paid in full in cash,

(I)    ninth, to pay any other Obligations until paid in full in cash, and

(J)    tenth, to Borrowers (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under Applicable Law.

(iii)    Agent (or the Third Party Agent, as applicable) promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive that have been delivered to Agent (or the Third Party Agent, as applicable) instead of such Lender, subject to a Settlement delay as provided in Section 2.02(d).

(iv)    In each instance, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, Section 2.03(b)(i) shall not apply to any payment made by Borrowers to Agent and specified by Borrowers to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(v)    For purposes of Section 2.03(b)(ii), “paid in full” of a type of Obligation means payment in cash or immediately available funds of all amounts owing on account of such type of Obligation, including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, default interest, interest on interest, any premium or prepayment penalty, Commitment Fee, Liquidated Damages and expense reimbursements, irrespective of whether any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.

(vi)    In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of this Section 2.03 and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid then the terms and provisions of this Section 2.03 shall control and govern.

(c)    Reduction of Revolver Commitments. The Revolver Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. The Revolver Commitments may be reduced by the Borrowers subject to payment of Liquidated Damages in accordance with Section 2.09(d), to an amount (which may be zero) not less than the sum of (i) the Revolver Usage as of such date, plus (ii) the principal amount of all Revolving Loans not yet made as to which a request has been given by Borrowers under Section 2.02(a). Each such reduction pursuant to clause (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (unless the Revolver Commitments are being reduced to zero and the amount of the Revolver Commitments in effect immediately prior to such reduction are less than $5,000,000), shall be made by providing not less than 10 Business Days prior written notice to Agent (and, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) and the Lenders, and shall be irrevocable. Each such reduction of

 

66


the Revolver Commitments shall be permanent, shall be accompanied by any payment of Liquidated Damages required pursuant to Section 2.09(d) and shall reduce the Revolver Commitments of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its ratable share thereof.

(d)    Optional Prepayments. Upon at least one (1) Business Day prior written notice the Borrowers may prepay the Loans at any time, in whole or in part, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being prepaid to the prepayment date and all fees, costs, expenses and other amounts related thereto. No prepayment of Revolving Loans under this Section 2.03(d) shall result in a permanent reduction of the Revolver Commitments.

(e)    Mandatory Prepayments.

(i)    If, at any time, (i) the Revolver Usage on such date exceeds (ii) either (A) the Borrowing Base reflected in the Borrowing Base Certificate most recently delivered by Borrower to Agent (or, during the Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) (as adjusted by Agent (or the Third Party Agent, as applicable) for Reserves established by Agent (or the Third Party Agent, as applicable) from time to time) or (B) the Maximum Revolver Amount, then Borrower shall immediately prepay the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.03(f) in an aggregate amount equal to the amount of such excess. No prepayment pursuant to this Section 2.03(e) shall result in a reduction in the Maximum Revolver Amount.

(ii)    If, at any time, a Maximum Decreased Market Capitalization Overadvance Event occurs, then Borrower shall immediately prepay the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.03(f) in an aggregate amount equal to the Maximum Decreased Market Capitalization Overadvance Amount.

(f)    Application of Payments. Each prepayment pursuant to Section 2.03(e) shall, (i) so long as no Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied to the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans until paid in full in cash, and (ii) if an Application Event shall have occurred and be continuing, be applied in the manner set forth in Section 2.03(b)(ii).

2.04    Promise to Pay; Promissory Notes.

(a)    Borrowers promise to pay all of the Obligations (including principal, interest, premiums, if any, fees, costs, and expenses (including Lender Group Expenses)) in cash to Agent and the Lenders in full on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

(b)    Any Lender may request that any portion of its Commitments or the Loans made by it be evidenced by one or more Notes. In such event, Borrowers (on a joint and several basis) shall execute and deliver to such Lender the requested Notes payable to the order of such Lender in a form furnished by Agent. Thereafter, the portion of the Commitments and Loans evidenced by such Notes and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein.

2.05    Interest Rates: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.

 

67


(a)    Interest Rates. Except as provided in Section 2.05(c), all Revolving Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 5.50%; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, to the extent that the aggregate Revolver Usage was less than $9,750,000 for any month, then, on the interest payment date in respect of such month, additional Revolving Loans shall be deemed outstanding in order to increase Aggregate Revolving Usage for such month to $9,750,000 for purposes of this Section 2.05(a).

(b)    [Reserved].

(c)    Default Rate. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of (i) an Event of Default described in Section 8.04, automatically, and (ii) any other Event of Default, at the election of Agent or the Required Lenders in its (or their) sole discretion, all Obligations that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to two (2) percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable hereunder or thereunder.

(d)    Payment. Except to the extent provided to the contrary in Section 2.09, (i) all interest and all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable in cash, in arrears for the preceding calendar month, on the first Business Day of each month and (ii) all costs and expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and all Lender Group Expenses shall be due and payable on the earlier of (A) the first day of the month following the date on which the applicable costs, expenses, or Lender Group Expenses were first incurred or (B) the date on which demand therefor is made by Agent (including, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) or any Lender (it being acknowledged and agreed that (1) any charging of such costs, expenses or Lender Group Expenses to the Loan Account pursuant to the provisions of the following sentence shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this subclause (B) and (2) Agent (and, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) and each Lender is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from any deposits paid by Borrowers to Agent (including, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) or any Lender on or prior to the Closing Date or pursuant to the terms hereof or of any other Loan Document, as applicable). Borrowers agree that (x) its obligations contained in the first sentence of this Section 2.05(d) shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations and a termination of all of the Commitments and (y) all payments of the Lender Group Expenses shall be non-refundable under all circumstances. Borrowers hereby authorize Agent (including, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent), from time to time without prior notice to Borrowers, to charge to the Loan Account (I) on the first day of each month, all interest accrued during the prior month on the Loans hereunder, (II) [reserved], (III) as and when incurred or accrued, all fees and costs provided for in Section 2.09(a), (IV) on the first day of each month, the Unused Line Fee accrued during the prior month pursuant to Section 2.05(b), (V) as and when due and payable, all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, (VI) [reserved], (VII) as and when incurred or accrued, all other Lender Group Expenses, and (VIII) as and when due and payable, all other payment obligations payable under any Loan Document. All amounts (including interest, fees, costs, expenses, Lender Group Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document) charged to the

 

68


Loan Account shall thereupon constitute Revolving Loans hereunder, shall constitute Obligations hereunder, and shall initially accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Revolving Loans.

(e)    Computation. All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue.

(f)    Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate. In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrowers and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it; provided, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then, ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrowers are and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment received from Borrowers in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.

(g)    Inability to Determine Interest Rate. If, at any applicable time, the basis for determining the LIBOR Rate ceases to be reported on the applicable page of the Bloomberg screen and if Agent shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Lenders) that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, other adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to the offering of Dollar deposits to major banks in the London interbank eurodollar market for the applicable period, then Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower Representative. If such notice is given, (i) the interest rate applicable to the Revolving Loans and other Obligations shall be the Prime Rate plus 4.50% determined and effective immediately, (ii) each reference herein to the “LIBOR Rate” shall be deemed thereafter to be a reference to the Prime Rate, and (iii) subject to Section 2.05(i), such substituted rate shall thereafter be determined by Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Until notice contemplated by Section 2.05(i) is furnished by Agent, the LIBOR Rate shall not apply to any Loan or any other Obligations.

(h)    LIBOR Rate Unlawful or Impractical. In the event that any change in market conditions or any Change in Law shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain Loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent, the other Lenders and the Borrower Representative and (i) in the case of any outstanding Loans of such Lender bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day such Loans shall bear interest at the LIBOR Rate, and interest upon the Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the Prime Rate, and (y) such Prime Rate shall continue to be applicable to the Obligations until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to fund or maintain Loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate.

 

69


(i)    Reinstatement of LIBOR Rate. If there has been at any time an interest rate substituted for the LIBOR Rate in accordance with this Section 2.05 and if in the reasonable opinion of Agent, the circumstances causing such substitution have ceased, then Agent shall promptly notify Borrower Representative in writing of such cessation, and thereafter the LIBOR Rate shall be determined as originally defined hereby. Nevertheless, thereafter the provisions of Sections 2.05(a), (g) and (h) shall continue to be effective.

(j)    Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate. The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs (other than Taxes which shall be governed by Article XVI), in each case, due to changes in applicable law, including any Changes in Law and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give the Borrower Representative, Agent and the other Lenders notice of such a determination and adjustment and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrowers may, by notice to such affected Lender (i) require such Lender to furnish to the Borrower Representative a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (ii) repay the Loans of such Lender with respect to which such adjustment is made.

2.06    [Reserved].

2.07    Designated Account. Agent (including, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) and the Lenders are authorized to make the Loans under this Agreement based upon written or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person or, without instructions, if pursuant to Section 2.05(d). Borrower Representative agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Loans requested by Borrowers and made by Agent (including, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrowers, any Loan requested by Borrowers and made by Agent (including, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account.

2.08    Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations. During any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrowers, shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrower Representative (the “Loan Account”) on which Borrowers will be charged with the Loans (including Extraordinary Advances) made by Agent (including by such Third Party Agent, as applicable) or the Lenders to Borrowers or for Borrowers’ account, and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. During any Non-Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Borrower Representative shall maintain such Loan Account and shall make such Loan Account available to Agent and the Lenders upon request therefrom. Upon the request of any Third Party Agent upon the commencement of any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Borrower Representative shall share such Loan Account and any of its applicable books and records with the Third Party Agent, and with respect to any discrepancies between the books, records or Loan Account of the Borrower Representative, on the one hand, and

 

70


the books, records or Loan Account of any Lender, the Agent or the Third Party Agent, on the other hand, the books, records and Loan Account of such Lender, Agent or Third Party Agent shall govern and control in the absence of manifest error. In accordance with Section 2.12, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Agent or any Lender from Borrowers or for Borrowers’ account (and, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, that the Third Party Agent is aware of or has been notified of). During any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent shall make available to Borrower Representative monthly statements regarding the Loan Account, including the principal amount of the Loans, interest accrued hereunder, fees accrued or charged hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and a summary itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses accrued hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and each such statement, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrowers and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after Agent first makes such a statement available to Borrower Representative, Borrower Representative shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in such statement.

2.09    Fees, Changes, Damages and Revolver Exit Payment.

(a)    Agent and Third Party Agent Fees. Borrowers shall pay in cash to Agent, for the account of Agent (or the Lenders set forth in such agreement), as and when due and payable under the terms of any agreement between the Borrowers and Agent (or such Lenders), the fees set forth in such agreement. At any time there is a Third Party Agent, Borrowers shall timely pay in cash (or timely reimburse in cash the paying Person for) such fees, costs and expenses of the Third Party Agent that are charged to (or incurred on behalf of) the Agent, any Lender, any other member of the Lender Group or any Loan Party (or any Agent-Related Persons or Lender-Related Persons).

(b)    Unused Line Fee. Borrowers shall pay in cash to the Lenders, based on their Pro Rata Share of the Revolver Commitments, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”) in an amount equal to 0.50% times the result of (i) the aggregate amount of the Revolver Commitments, less (ii) the greater of (A) $9,750,000 and (B) the Average Revolver Usage during the immediately preceding month (or portion thereof), which Unused Line Fee shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of each month from and after the Closing Date up to the first day of the month prior to the date on which all of the Obligations are paid in full in cash and all of the Revolver Commitments are terminated and on the date on which all of the Obligations are paid in full in cash and all of the Revolver Commitments are terminated.

(c)    Field Examination and Other Fees. Borrowers shall pay in cash to Agent (including, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) and the Lenders, field examination, appraisal, and valuation fees and charges as and when incurred or chargeable; provided, that for so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Borrowers shall not be obligated to reimburse Agent for more than (A) two field examinations in any twelve month period, (B) two Inventory appraisals, and (C) two Equipment appraisals; provided that any additional field examinations or appraisals required by Agent in any given twelve month period shall be performed at the expense of Agent; and, provided, further, that if a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may conduct additional field examinations and appraisals at Borrowers’ sole expense. For the avoidance of

 

71


doubt, the reimbursement limitations set forth in this Section 2.09(c) shall not apply to field examinations and appraisals conducted in connection with a Permitted Acquisition.

(d)    Liquidated Damages.

(i)    Borrowers shall pay in cash liquidated damages in connection with any termination or reduction of the Revolver Commitments prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date or any acceleration (including in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding) of the Obligations, in each case in accordance with this Section 2.09(d) (“Liquidated Damages”).

(ii)    If, prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, (A) the Commitments are terminated and the Obligations prepaid in full or (B) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, either (1) Agent or the Required Lenders demand prepayment of the outstanding Obligations in whole or in part during the continuation of an Event of Default, or (2) repayment of the outstanding Obligations is otherwise accelerated in whole or in part (including in connection with an Insolvency Proceeding) under Section 9.01, then, at the time of such termination (in accordance with clause (A)) or the time of such demand or acceleration (in accordance with clause (B)), and in addition to the principal balance of the Loans, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, all fees, costs, expenses, and other amounts payable to Agent and Lenders in connection with the Revolving Facility and all other Obligations paid to Agent and Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrowers shall pay in cash Liquidated Damages to the Lenders (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent for the benefit of the Lenders), based on their Pro Rata Share, in an amount equal to the (y) Maximum Revolver Amount multiplied by (z)(I) 2.50% if such prepayment, demand or acceleration occurs prior to August 9, 2019 (the “First Period”), (II) 1.50% if such prepayment, demand or acceleration occurs on or after the First Period but prior to the August 9, 2020 (the “Second Period”), (III) 0.50% if such prepayment, demand or acceleration occurs at Second Period but prior to August 9, 2021 (the “Third Period”), and (IV) 0% if such prepayment, demand or acceleration occurs on or after August 9, 2021.

(iii)    If, prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, Borrower Representative has sent a notice of partial reduction of the Revolving Facility pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.03(c), then on the date set forth as the date of reduction in such notice, Borrower shall pay to the Lenders (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent for the benefit of the Lenders), in cash, the applicable Revolver Reduction Premium determined as of such date. For purposes of this Section, “Applicable Revolver Reduction Premium” means, as of any date of determination, an amount equal to (A) during the First Period, 2.50% times the amount of the reduction of the Revolving Commitments on such date, (B) during the Second Period, 1.50% times the amount of the reduction of the Revolving Commitments on such date, (C) during the Third Period, 0.50% times the amount of the reduction of the Revolving Commitments on such date and (D) 0% times the amount of the reduction of the Revolving Commitment on or after August 9, 2021.

(iv)    Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it would be difficult or impractical to calculate Lenders’ actual damages from early termination of the Revolving Facility and Lenders’ compensation from Loans hereunder following such early termination or reduction, the

 

72


Liquidated Damages provided in this Section 2.09(d) are intended to be fair and reasonable approximations of such damages, and that the Liquidated Damages are not intended to be penalties.

(e)    Commitment Fee. On the Closing Date, Borrowers shall pay in cash to the Lenders (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent for the benefit of the Lenders), based on their Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to $500,000 (the “Commitment Fee”), which shall be fully-earned on the Closing Date and payable on the following schedule: (i) $200,000 shall be payable in cash on the Closing Date, (ii) $200,000 shall be payable on the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, and (iii) $100,000 shall be payable on the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) the Revolver Commitments are terminated and the Loans repaid or (B) the Revolver Commitments are terminated or the Obligations become due and payable, in each case of clause (A) and clause (B), on any date prior to the two-year anniversary of the Closing Date for any reason (such as an acceleration of the Loans following the occurrence of an Event of Default, an exercise of Agent’s (including, any Third Party Agent’s) or any Lender’s rights or remedies available under the Loan Documents or an exercise of any rights or remedies by the Term Agent, a Term Lender or any other party to the Term Debt Documents, upon the consummation of a Change in Control, by any optional prepayment or otherwise), then, on such date, any portion of the Commitment Fee that has not previously been paid shall be automatically, due and payable. The Commitment Fee shall be non-refundable upon any payment thereof. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Agent and the Lenders would not have entered into this Agreement and the Lenders would not provide the Revolver Commitments, the financial accommodations and other accommodations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without the Loan Parties agreeing to pay the Commitment Fee in the aforementioned instances. The parties hereto also acknowledge and agree that the Commitment Fee set forth in this Section 2.09(e) is not intended to act as a penalty or to punish any Borrower or any other Loan Party for any such payment, repayment, redemption or prepayment.

(f)    Collateral Monitoring Fee. Borrowers shall pay in cash to the Lenders (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent for the benefit of the Lenders), based on their Pro Rata Share, an amount equal to $5,000 (the “Monthly Collateral Monitoring Fee”) monthly in advance on the first Business Day of each month from and after the Closing Date, commencing with the first such date after the Closing Date, until all of the Revolver Commitments have been terminated, all of the Obligations have been repaid and this Agreement has terminated. The Monthly Collateral Monitoring Fee shall be fully-earned on each such date such amount is due or payable under this Agreement and is non-refundable upon being paid.

(g)    Exit Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, on the date when the Revolver Commitments (in each case, whether before, at the time of or after the Maturity Date or any acceleration, bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise) are reduced or terminated in an amount that causes (or such lesser amount of Revolver Commitments that are so reduced or terminated that the Lenders have agreed to cause) the remaining amount of outstanding Revolver Commitments to be less than $10,000,000, the Borrowers shall pay in cash at such time to the Lenders (based on their Pro Rata Share of such Revolver Commitments) a non-refundable exit payment (the “Revolver Exit Payment”) in a total amount equal to $1,000,000. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that the Agent and the Lenders would not have entered

 

73


into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents without the Borrowers agreeing to pay the Revolver Exit Payment in the aforementioned instances. The parties to this Agreement further acknowledge and agree that the Revolver Exit Payment set forth in this Section 2.09(g) is not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrowers or any other Loan Parties for any such Revolver Commitment reduction or termination.

2.10    [Reserved].

2.11    Capital Requirements.

(a)    If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) any Change in Law regarding capital or reserve requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or (ii) compliance by such Lender, or their respective parent bank holding companies, with any guideline, request or directive of any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding companies’ capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments, Loans, participations or other obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or such holding companies could have achieved but for such Change in Law or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding companies’ then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Borrower Representative and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrowers agree to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower Representative or any other Borrower of such Change in Law giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the Change in Law that is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(b)    If any Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to in Section 2.05(j) or amounts under Section 2.11(a) or sends a notice under Section 2.05(h) relative to changed circumstances (such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then such Affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a different one of its lending offices or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices or branches, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.05(j) or Section 2.11(a), as applicable, or would eliminate the illegality or impracticality of funding or maintaining Loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would not subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially

 

74


disadvantageous to it. Borrowers agree to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the protection of Sections 2.05(h) and 2.05(j) and this Section 2.11 shall be available to each Lender (as applicable) regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, judicial ruling, judgment, guideline, treaty or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed, so long as it shall be customary for lenders affected thereby to comply therewith. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.11 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender (as the case may be) to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.

2.12    Collections; Crediting Payments.

(a)    The Loan Parties shall establish and maintain cash management services of a type, number, with a financial institution (the “Depositary Bank”) and on terms, in each case, reasonably satisfactory to Agent (including, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent), and shall open a lockbox (the “Lockbox”) with the Depositary Bank. Collected funds in the Lockbox shall be deposited into an account with the Depository Bank established by Agent (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) and subject to Agent’s (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent’s) sole dominion and control (including, but not limited to the sole power of withdrawal) (the “Blocked Account”). Each Loan Party shall take reasonable steps to (i) ensure that all of its Account Debtors forward payment of the amounts owed by such Account Debtors directly to the Lockbox or to the Blocked Account, and (ii) deposit or cause to be deposited promptly, and in any event no later than the first Business Day after the date of receipt thereof, all of the Loan Parties’ collections and proceeds of Collateral (including those sent directly by Account Debtors to any Loan Party) into the Blocked Account. Each Deposit Account (excluding any Excluded Account) of a Loan Party and each Securities Account (excluding any Excluded Account) of a Loan Party shall be subject to a Control Agreement among such Loan Party, the applicable bank or securities intermediary, Agent and Term Agent, and no Loan Party will permit any Investment consisting of cash, Cash Equivalents or amounts credited to a Deposit Account (excluding any Excluded Account) or a Securities Account (excluding any Excluded Account) to be maintained in a Deposit Account or Securities Account unless such Deposit Account or Securities Account, as applicable, is subject to a Control Agreement among such Loan Party, the applicable bank or securities intermediary, and Agent. The agreement(s) relating to the Blocked Account between Agent, such financial institution and Borrowers shall be in form and content satisfactory to Agent.

(b)    The Loan Parties shall cause Persons processing or collecting any credit card payments or proceeds of receivables on behalf of the Loan Parties to deliver such payments or proceeds to the Blocked Account promptly, but not less frequently than once every week.

(c)    On each Business Day, Agent (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) shall withdraw available funds from the Blocked Account, deposit such funds in the Agent’s Account, and credit available funds received in the Agent’s Account to the payment of the Obligations. Agent shall credit to the payment of the Obligations any other form

 

75


of funds received by Agent (or Third Party Agent, as applicable) in the Agent’s Account for which Agent (or Third Party Agent, as applicable) has received notice that such funds are collected and available to Agent (or Third Party Agent, as applicable) (i) on the same day of Agent’s (or Third Party Agent, as applicable) receipt of such notice if such notice is received by Agent (or Third Party Agent, as applicable) on or before 2 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day, and (ii) on the Business Day immediately following Agent’s (or Third Party Agent’s, as applicable) receipt of such notice if such notice is received by Agent (or Third Party Agent, as applicable) after 2 p.m. Eastern Time on a Business Day, or if such notice is received by Agent (or the Third Party Agent, as applicable) on a day that is not a Business Day. It is understood and agreed that transfer of funds from the Blocked Account to the Agent’s Account may take up to two (2) Business Days. Aggregate principal and interest payments shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and payments of fees and expenses (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s (or Third Party Agent’s, as applicable) separate account) shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Obligation or Commitment to which a particular fee relates. All payments and proceeds of Collateral received by Agent (or the Third Party Agent, as applicable) shall be applied in accordance with Section 2.03(b).

(d)    All funds credited to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with Section 2.12(a) above are conditional upon final payment to Agent (or the Third Party Agent, as applicable) in cash or solvent credits of the items giving rise to such funds. If any item credited to the payment of the Obligations is not paid to Agent (or the Third Party Agent, as applicable) (or payment thereof is rescinded or required to be returned by the Agent (or the Third Party Agent, as applicable)), the amount of any credit given for such item shall be charged to the balance of the Obligations whether or not the item is returned.

(e)    For purposes of computing interest on the Obligations, Borrowers acknowledge that interest shall continue to accrue on the amount of any funds credited to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with this Section 2.12 for three Business Days after the date so credited. The parties acknowledge and agree that the economic benefit of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.12(e) shall be for the exclusive benefit of Agent (and the Third Party Agent, as applicable) and the Lenders.

2.13     Appointment of Borrower Representative.

(a)    Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Borrower Representative as its agent and attorney-in-fact to request and receive Loans and other Obligations in the name or on behalf of such Borrower and any other Borrowers, deliver requests for Borrowings Notices of Borrowing, and Borrowing Base Certificates, give instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, giving and receiving all other notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) in the name or on behalf of any Borrower or Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent (including any Third Party Agent, as applicable) and Lenders may disburse the Loans to such bank account or Deposit Account of Borrower Representative or a Borrower or otherwise make such Loans to a Borrower, in each case as Borrower Representative may designate or direct, without notice to any other Borrower. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Agent (or, during any Third

 

76


Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) may at any time and from time to time require that Loans to or for the account of any Borrower be disbursed directly to an operating account of such Borrower.

(b)    Borrower Representative hereby accepts the appointment by Borrowers to act as the agent and attorney-in-fact of Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.13. Borrower Representative shall ensure that the disbursement of any Loans that are at any time requested by or to be remitted to or for the account of a Borrower, shall be remitted or issued to or for the account of such Borrower.

(c)    Each Borrower hereby irrevocably appoints and constitutes Borrower Representative as its agent to receive statements on account and all other notices from Agent and/or Lenders with respect to the Obligations or otherwise under or in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(d)    Any notice, election, representation, warranty, agreement or undertaking made or delivered by or on behalf of any Borrower by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made or delivered by such Borrower, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Borrower to the same extent as if made or delivered directly by such Borrower.

(e)    No resignation by or termination of the appointment of Borrower Representative as agent and attorney-in-fact as aforesaid shall be effective, except after ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to Agent (and, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, also to the Third Party Agent) and the Lenders. If the Borrower Representative resigns under this Agreement, Borrowers shall be entitled to appoint a successor Borrower Representative (which shall be a Borrower and shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent as such successor). Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Borrower Representative hereunder, such successor Borrower Representative shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Borrower Representative and the term “Borrower Representative” shall mean such successor Borrower Representative for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the retiring or terminated Borrower Representative’s appointment, powers and duties as Borrower Representative shall be thereupon terminated.

2.14    Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers.

(a)    Each Borrower is accepting joint and several liability hereunder and under the other Loan Documents in consideration of the financial accommodations to be provided by the Lender Group under this Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each Borrower and in consideration of the undertakings of the other Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the Obligations.

(b)    Each Borrower, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Borrowers, with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations (including any Obligations arising under this Section 2.14), it being the intention of the parties hereto that all the

 

77


Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower without preferences or distinction among them.

(c)    If and to the extent that any Borrower shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.

(d)    The Obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.14 constitute the absolute and unconditional, full recourse Obligations of each Borrower enforceable against each Borrower to the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement or any other circumstances whatsoever.

(e)    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Borrower hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Advances issued under or pursuant to this Agreement, notice of the occurrence of any Default, Event of Default, or of any demand for any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by Agent (including any Third Party Agent), the Lenders or any other member of the Lender Group under or in respect of any of the Obligations, any requirement of diligence or to mitigate damages and, generally, to the extent permitted by applicable law, all demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by Agent (including any Third Party Agent), the Lenders or any other member of the Lender Group at any time or times in respect of any default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by Agent (including any Third Party Agent), the Lenders or any other member of the Lender Group in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of Agent (including any Third Party Agent), any Lender or any other member of the Lender Group with respect to the failure by any Borrower to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable laws or regulations thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.14 afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Borrower, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 2.14, it being the intention of each Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents remain unsatisfied and unpaid in full in cash and the Revolver Commitments have not been terminated, the Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.14 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The Obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.14 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, reconstruction, division, split, merger,

 

78


consolidation or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any other Loan Party or Agent (including any Third Party Agent), any Lender or any other member of the Lender Group.

(f)    Each Borrower represents and warrants to Agent (including any Third Party Agent), the Lenders and the other members of the Lender Group that such Borrower is currently informed of the financial condition of the other Borrowers and of all other circumstances which a diligent inquiry would reveal and which bear upon the risk of nonpayment of the Obligations. Each Borrower further represents and warrants to Agent (including any Third Party Agent), the Lenders and the other members of the Lender Group that such Borrower has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Each Borrower hereby covenants that such Borrower will continue to keep informed of the other Borrowers’ financial condition, the financial condition of other Guarantors and Loan Parties, if any, and of all other circumstances which bear upon the risk of nonpayment or nonperformance of the Obligations.

(g)    Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by Agent (including any Third Party Agent), any Lender or any other member of the Lender Group, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Agent’s (including any Third Party Agent’s), such Lender’s or such other member of the Lender Group’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against any Borrower by the operation of Section 580(d) of the California Code of Civil Procedure, any comparable statute, or otherwise.

(h)    Each Borrower waives all rights and defenses that such Borrower may have because the Obligations are or become secured by Real Property. This means, among other things:

(i)    Agent (including any Third Party Agent), the Lenders and the other members of the Lender Group may collect from such Borrower without first foreclosing on any Real Property Collateral or personal property Collateral pledged by Borrowers.

(ii)    If Agent (including any Third Party Agent), any Lender or any other member of the Lender Group forecloses on any Real Property Collateral pledged by any Borrower or any Guarantor:

(A)    the amount of the Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which such Collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if such Collateral is worth more than the sale price; and

(B)    Agent (including any Third Party Agent), the Lenders and the other members of the Lender Group may collect from such Borrower even if Agent or Lenders, by foreclosing on the Real Property Collateral, has destroyed any right such Borrower may have to collect from the other Borrowers.

This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses such Borrower may have because the Obligations are secured by Real Property.

(k)    Each Borrower hereby agrees that, after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, the payment of any amounts due with respect to the indebtedness owing by any Borrower to any other Borrower is hereby subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of the Obligations and a termination of all of the Commitments. Each Borrower hereby agrees that after the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and direction from Agent or the Required Lenders, such Borrower will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Borrower owing to such Borrower until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full in cash and all of the Commitments have been terminated.

4.12    Financial Statements. As of their respective dates, the consolidated financial statements of Endologix and its Subsidiaries included in the SEC Documents complied as to form

 

90


in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments and lack of footnote disclosures), and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of Endologix and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders equity for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and lack of footnote disclosures). The accounting firm that expressed its opinion with respect to the consolidated financial statements included in Endologix’s most recently filed annual report on 10-K, and reviewed the consolidated financial statements included in Endologix’s most recently filed quarterly report on 10-Q, was independent of Endologix pursuant to the standards set forth in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and as required by the applicable rules and guidance from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and such firm was otherwise qualified to render such opinion under Applicable Law and the rules and regulations of the SEC. There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between Endologix (or any of its Subsidiaries) and an unconsolidated or other off-balance-sheet Person that is required to be disclosed by Endologix in the SEC Documents that has not been so disclosed in the SEC Documents. Neither Endologix nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to file or will be required to file any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other instrument entered into prior to the date this representation is made and to which Endologix or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Endologix or any of its Subsidiaries is bound that has not been previously filed as an exhibit (including by way of incorporation by reference) to the Borrower’s reports filed or made with the SEC under the Exchange Act. Other than (i) the liabilities assumed or created pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any fees and expenses in connection therewith, (ii) liabilities accrued for in the latest balance sheet included in Endologix’s most recent periodic report (on 10-Q or 10-K) filed prior to the date this representation is made (the date of such balance sheet, the “Latest Balance Sheet Date”), (iii) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since the later of the (A) Closing Date and (B) the Latest Balance Sheet Date and (iv) liabilities set forth on the Schedules to this Agreement, Endologix and its Subsidiaries do not have any other material liabilities (whether fixed or unfixed, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, asserted or unasserted, choate or inchoate, liquidated or unliquidated, or secured or unsecured, and regardless of when any action, claim, suit or proceeding with respect thereto is instituted). Since December 31, 2016, there has been no Material Adverse Effect or any event or circumstance which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All financial performance projections delivered to any Secured Party, including the financial performance projections delivered on or prior to the Second Amendment Date, if any, represent Endologix’s and its Subsidiaries’ good faith estimate of future financial performance and are based on assumptions believed by Endologix and its Subsidiaries to be fair and reasonable in light of current market conditions, it being acknowledged and agreed by Agent and the Lenders that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material.

4.13    Internal Controls.

(b)    Endologix and its Subsidiaries has timely filed and made publicly available on EDGAR all certifications, statements and documents required by Rule 13a-14 or Rule 15d-14 under the Exchange Act. Endologix and its Subsidiaries maintain disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act; such controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by Endologix and its Subsidiaries in the reports that they file with or submit to the SEC (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to Endologix’s (and, to the extent applicable, its Subsidiaries’) management, including its or their principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Endologix and its Subsidiaries maintain internal control (including Internal Controls) over financial reporting required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act; such internal control (including Internal Controls) over financial reporting is effective and does not contain any material weaknesses.

(a)    The Loan Parties shall and shall cause their Subsidiaries to (i) preserve and maintain in full force and effect its organizational existence and good standing under the Applicable Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation, as applicable, other than as permitted under Section 6.01, and (ii) preserve and maintain all qualifications to do business in each other jurisdiction not covered by clause (i) above that the failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)    The Loan Parties shall, and shall cause their Subsidiaries to, obtain, make and keep in full force and effect all licenses, certificates, approvals, registrations, clearances, Authorizations and permits required to conduct their businesses, except where the failure to make and keep such licenses, certificates, approvals, registrations, clearances, authorizations and permits in full force and effect could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(c)    Each Loan Party shall, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, maintain, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, and preserve all its assets and property which is used or useful in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and shall make all necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof, except, in each case, where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

5.02    Compliance with Laws. The Loan Parties will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, (a) comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws, except where the necessity of compliance therewith is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (b) maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Borrowers, their Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees with Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws, Anti-Terrorism Laws and applicable Sanctions.

The Loan Parties shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies with respect to their assets, properties and business, against such hazards and liabilities, of such types and in such amounts, as is customarily maintained by companies in the same or similar businesses similarly situated. All property insurance policies covering the Collateral are to be made payable to Agent for the benefit of Agent, the Lenders and the other members of the Lender Group, as their interests may appear, in case of loss, pursuant to a standard lender’s loss payable endorsement with a standard noncontributory “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to contain such other provisions as Agent may reasonably require to fully protect the Lenders’ interest in the Collateral and to any payments to be made under such policies.

or D&O policies. If Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries fail to maintain such insurance, Agent may arrange for such insurance, but at Borrowers’ expense and without any responsibility on Agent’s part for obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the collection of claims. The Loan Parties shall give Agent prompt written notice of any loss exceeding $500,000 covered by any of the Loan Parties’ or any of their Subsidiaries’ casualty or business interruption insurance. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the sole right to file claims under any property and general liability insurance policies in respect of the Collateral, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies. A true and complete listing of such insurance, including issuers, coverages and deductibles, shall be provided by the Loan Parties to Agent promptly following Agent’s request (or to the Third Party Agent promptly following the Third Party Agent’s request during any Third Party Agent Retention Period).

5.04    Taxes. Each Loan Party shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay, discharge and perform as the same shall become due and payable or required to be performed (i) all material Tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its property, unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which stay the enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by such Person and (ii) all Tax liabilities, assessments and governmental chares or levies upon it or its property that would create, or otherwise cause to exist, a Lien with respect thereto that is not a Permitted Lien under clause (d) of the definition of “Permitted Liens”.

5.05    Reports, Notices.

Each Borrower hereby agrees that the Borrower Representative shall send to each Secured Party copies of (A) any notices and other information made available or given to the holders of the Stock of Endologix generally, contemporaneously with Endologix making available or giving such notices and other information to such holders of Stock (it being understood and agreed that delivery shall be deemed to have occurred if such notices or other information is posted to EDGAR) and (B) all other documents, reports, financial data and other information not available on EDGAR that does not contain any material nonpublic information of any Borrower, that any Secured Party may reasonably request.

(ii)    promptly, but in any event within two (2) Business Days after the knowledge of the occurrence of (A) written notice of any Default or Event of Default and (B) so long as such type of notification would not be material nonpublic information of any Borrower (except during a Third Party Agent Retention Period, in which case, such material nonpublic information shall be provided but only to the Third Party Agent), written notice of any claims (other than in connection with the denial of plan claims in the ordinary course of business), litigation, arbitration, mediation or administrative or regulatory proceedings that are instituted or threatened against any Loan Party, or claims of infringement by any Person with respect to any Intellectual Property rights of a Loan Party, in each case of this clause (B), to the extent such claim, litigation, arbitration, mediation or administrative or regulatory proceeding could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect; and

From and after Endologix’s filing of the Announcing Form 8-K, no member of the Lender Group shall be (or shall be deemed to be) in possession of any material nonpublic information received from the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives or agents, except, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, information provided solely to the Third Party Agent as and to the extent required hereby that is marked as material nonpublic information by the Borrower Representative in good faith at the time such information is provided to the Third Party Agent. Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Parties represent and warrant that no Loan Document or other agreement, instrument, certificate, information or other document provided by any Loan Party or any of its Related Parties to any member of the Lender Group on or about the Closing Date that is not filed as an exhibit to the Announcing Form 8-K constitutes, or contains, reflects or references any information that constitutes material nonpublic information with respect to the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates (except to the extent the same information is expressly set forth in the Announcing Form 8-K or an exhibit thereto). Notwithstanding any other requirement of this Agreement or other Loan Document, each Borrower shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives and agents (it being understood and agreed that the Third Party Agent is not an agent, employee, attorney or representative of any Borrower, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates) to not, provide any member of the Lender Group with any material nonpublic information regarding the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates from and after the filing of the Announcing Form 8-K with the SEC without the express prior written consent of such member of the Lender Group; provided, however, that a Borrower may provide material nonpublic information to the Third Party Agent during any Third Party Agent Retention Period as and to the extent required hereby and to the extent such information is marked as material nonpublic information by the Borrower Representative in good faith at the time such information is provided to the Third Party Agent. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that no member of the Lender Group nor any Affiliate of any member of the Lender Group (other than the Third Party Agent) shall be deemed to be in possession of any material nonpublic information provided to any Third Party Agent unless and until such Third Party Agent actually provides such information to such member of the Lender Group or Affiliate thereof (as applicable); and the Borrowers agree not to (and the Borrowers agree to not have their Subsidiaries or Affiliates) assert any contrary position. Each Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that no member of the Lender Group (nor any Affiliate thereof) shall have any duty of trust or confidence with respect to, or obligation not to trade in any securities on the basis of, any material nonpublic information regarding the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates (A) provided by, or on behalf of, the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives or agents, in breach or violation of any of the representations, covenants, provisions or agreements set forth in this Section 5.20 or otherwise or (B) otherwise possessed (or continued to be possessed) by any member of the Lender Group (or any Affiliate thereof) as a result of a breach or violation of any representation, covenant, provision or agreement set forth in this Section 5.20. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in

 

114


any other Loan Document, in the event that a Borrower believes in good faith that a notice or communication to any member of the Lender Group contains material nonpublic information relating to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries (other than material nonpublic information being contemporaneously publicly disclosed through the filing with the SEC of a Form 8-K, 10-K or 10-Q or issuance of a broadly disseminated press release, in any such case as identified to any member of the Lender Group, as applicable), such Borrower shall so indicate to such member of the Lender Group contemporaneously with delivery of such notice or communication, and such indication shall provide such member of the Lender Group (other than the Third Party Agent during any Third Party Agent Retention Period) the means to refuse to receive such notice or communication; and in the absence of any such indication, such member of the Lender Group shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice or communication do not constitute material nonpublic information relating to the Borrowers, any other Loan Party or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or any of their respective property or Stock. Upon receipt or delivery by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any notice or other communication in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, unless the Borrower Representative has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Borrowers or any other Loan Party or any of their Affiliates or Subsidiaries or their respective property or Stock (and other than a notice or communication delivered to the Third Party Agent during any Third Party Agent Retention Period), Endologix shall, within one Business Day after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose the material, nonpublic information contained in the notice or communication; provided, however, that Endologix shall in no event be obligated to make public disclosure of any material nonpublic information contained in any Borrowing Base Certificate (Agent) delivered solely at the written request of Agent or any Lender in accordance herewith at a time when the Borrower Representative notifies Agent or such Lender in writing in good faith that such Borrowing Base Certificate (Agent) would contain material nonpublic information and Agent or such Lender agrees in writing to accept such Borrowing Base Certificate (Agent) notwithstanding such material nonpublic information included therein (in each case, other than, for the avoidance of doubt, a Borrowing Base Certificate (Agent) delivered in connection with the filing of a 10-Q or 10-K or with respect to any other filing with the SEC)). In the event of a breach of any of the foregoing covenants by any Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, attorneys, representatives or agents (it being understood and agreed that the Third Party Agent is not an agent, employee, attorney or representative of any Borrower, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates), in addition to any other remedies provided in the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity, the members of the Lender Group shall have the right to make a public disclosure in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of the applicable material nonpublic information regarding the Borrowers or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates without the prior approval by any Borrower or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, attorneys, representatives or agents, and no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability to any Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, equityholders, attorneys, representatives or agents for any such disclosure.

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.

9.01    Rights and Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Agent may, and, at the instruction of the Required Lenders, shall (in each case under clauses (a) or (b) by written notice to Borrower Representative), in addition to any other rights or remedies provided for hereunder or under any other Loan Document or by applicable law, do any one or more of the following:

(a)    declare the principal of, and any and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees (including Liquidated Damages, as applicable) in respect of, the Loans and all other Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any of the other Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and payable and Borrowers shall be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full in cash, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrowers;

(b)    declare the Commitments terminated, whereupon the Commitments shall immediately be terminated together with any obligation of any Revolving Lender to make Revolving Loans; and

(c)    exercise all other rights and remedies available to Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents, under applicable law, or in equity.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally constitutes and appoints Agent and any of Agent’s Affiliates, attorneys, representatives or agents, with full power of substitution, as such Borrower’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable and unconditional power and authority in the place and stead of such Borrower and in the name of such Borrower or in its own name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, to take any appropriate steps or actions and to execute and deliver (and perform under on such Borrower’s behalf) any agreement, document or instrument that may be necessary or desirable to

 

132


accomplish the purposes and/or effectuate the items and actions set forth in this Agreement, and the other Loan Documents, in each case, (i) that any such Loan Party fails to take that are required under such documents, agreements or instruments or (ii) during the existence of any Event of Default.

The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Section 8.04, in addition to the remedies set forth above, without any notice to Borrower Representative or any other Person or any act by the Lender Group, the Commitments shall automatically terminate and the Obligations, inclusive of the principal of, and any and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees (including Liquidated Damages, as applicable) in respect of, the Loans and all other Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any of the other Loan Documents, shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable and Borrowers shall automatically be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full in cash, without presentment, demand, protest, or notice or other requirements of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrowers.

9.02    Remedies Cumulative. The rights and remedies of the Lender Group under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, and all other agreements shall be cumulative. The Lender Group shall have all other rights and remedies not inconsistent herewith as provided under the Code, by law, or in equity. No exercise by the Lender Group of one right or remedy shall be deemed an election, and no waiver by the Lender Group of any Event of Default shall be deemed a continuing waiver. No delay by the Lender Group shall constitute a waiver, election, or acquiescence by it.

ARTICLE X.

WAIVERS; INDEMNIFICATION.

10.01    Demand; Protest; etc. Borrowers waive demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment and nonpayment, nonpayment at maturity, release, compromise, settlement, extension, or renewal of documents, instruments, chattel paper, and guarantees at any time held by the Lender Group on which Borrowers may in any way be liable.

10.02    The Lender Groups Liability for Collateral. Borrowers hereby agree that: (a) so long as Agent complies with its obligations, if any, under the Code, the Lender Group shall not in any way or manner be liable or responsible for: (i) the safekeeping of the Collateral, (ii) any loss or damage thereto occurring or arising in any manner or fashion from any cause, (iii) any diminution in the value thereof, or (iv) any act or default of any carrier, warehouseman, bailee, forwarding agency, or other Person, and (b) all risk of loss, damage, or destruction of the Collateral shall be borne by Borrowers.

10.03    Indemnification. Borrowers shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent-Related Persons, the Lender-Related Persons, and each Participant (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all losses, claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses, joint and several, actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and

 

133


irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution and delivery, enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding are brought by Borrowers or their equity holders, affiliates, creditors or any other person, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of Borrowers’ and their Subsidiaries’ compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents, and to reimburse each Indemnified Person within thirty (30) days after written demand for any reasonable, actual documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating or defending any of the foregoing (provided, that the indemnification in this clause (a) shall not extend to any Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim), (b) with respect to any actual or prospective investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document, the making of any Loans hereunder, or the use of the proceeds of the Loans provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Loan Party or Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto, and (c) in connection with or arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or properties owned, leased or operated by Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities or Remedial Actions related in any way to Borrowers, any of their Subsidiaries or any assets, properties, operations or actions of Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any other violations of or liabilities arising under Environmental Law or Environmental Permits by or relating to Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or any assets or properties owned, leased or operated by Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries (each and all of the foregoing, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Borrowers shall have no obligation to any Indemnified Person under this Section 10.03 with respect to any Indemnified Liability (A) that a court of competent jurisdiction finally determines to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or its Affiliates or any officers, directors, employees, controlling persons or members of the foregoing or (B) arising out of a material breach by such Indemnified Person of its obligations hereunder. This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment in full in cash of the Obligations. If any Indemnified Person makes any payment to any other Indemnified Person with respect to an Indemnified Liability as to which Borrowers were required to indemnify the Indemnified Person receiving such payment, the Indemnified Person making such payment is entitled to be indemnified and reimbursed by Borrowers with respect thereto. WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL APPLY TO EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFIED LIABILITIES WHICH IN WHOLE OR IN PART ARE CAUSED BY OR ARISE OUT OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACT OR OMISSION OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON OR OF ANY OTHER PERSON. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 10.03 SHALL SURVIVE THE RESIGNATION OR TERMINATION OF AGENT AND TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

(C)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(D)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to Agent an Assignment and Acceptance; provided, that Borrowers and Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with the assigning Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (1) such Lender and the Assignee have delivered Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, and (2) unless waived by Agent, the assigning Lender or Assignee has paid to Agent, for Agent’s separate account, a processing fee in the amount of $3,500; and

(E)    the assignee, if it is not a Lender, unless waived by Agent, shall deliver to Agent an Administrative Questionnaire in a form approved by Agent (the “Administrative Questionnaire”) and all documentation and other information

 

138


required by regulatory authorities under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including, without limitation, the USA PATRIOT Act.

(b)    From and after the date that Agent receives the executed Assignment and Acceptance and, if applicable, payment of the required processing fee, (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, shall be a “Lender” and shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, and (ii) the assigning Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (except with respect to Section 10.03) and be released from any future obligations under this Agreement (and in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto and thereto); provided, that nothing contained herein shall release any assigning Lender from obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement, including such assigning Lender’s obligations under Article XV and Section 17.08(a).

(c)    By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, the assigning Lender thereunder and the Assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document furnished pursuant hereto, (iii) such Assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance, (iv) such Assignee will, independently and without reliance upon Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, (v) such Assignee appoints and authorizes Agent (and, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent) to take such actions and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent (or the Third Party Agent, as applicable), by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and (vi) such Assignee agrees that it will perform all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.

(d)    Immediately upon Agent’s receipt of the required processing fee, if applicable, and delivery of notice to the assigning Lender pursuant to Section 13.01(b), this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments arising therefrom. The Commitment allocated to each Assignee shall reduce such Commitments of the assigning Lender pro tanto.

 

139


(e)    Any Lender may at any time sell to one or more commercial banks, financial institutions, or other Persons (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its Obligations, its Commitment, and the other rights and interests of that Lender (the “Originating Lender”) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, that (i) the Originating Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the Participant receiving the participating interest in the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and interests of the Originating Lender hereunder shall not constitute a “Lender” hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, (iii) Borrowers, Agent (any Third Party Agent), and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, (iv) no Lender shall transfer or grant any participating interest under which the Participant has the right to approve any amendment to, or any consent or waiver with respect to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except to the extent such amendment to, or consent or waiver with respect to this Agreement or of any other Loan Document would (A) extend the final maturity date of the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (B) reduce the interest rate applicable to the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (C) release all or substantially all of the Collateral or guaranties (except to the extent expressly provided herein or in any of the Loan Documents) supporting the Obligations hereunder in which such Participant is participating, (D) postpone the payment of, or reduce the amount of, the interest or fees payable to such Participant through such Lender (other than a waiver of default interest), or (E) decreases the amount or postpones the due dates of scheduled principal repayments or prepayments or premiums payable to such Participant through such Lender, (v) no participation shall be sold to a natural person, (vi) no participation shall be sold to a Loan Party or an Affiliate of a Loan Party, and (vii) all amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation, except that, if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement. The rights of any Participant only shall be derivative through the Originating Lender with whom such Participant participates and no Participant shall have any rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any direct rights as to the other Lenders, Agent (or any Third Party Agent), Borrowers, the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Obligations. No Participant shall have the right to participate directly in the making of decisions by the Lenders among themselves.

(f)    In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions of Section 17.08, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and their Affiliates and their respective businesses and Stock and properties.

(g)    Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal

 

140


Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) any Lender shall be permitted to pledge or grant a security interest in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights hereunder including, but not limited to, any Loans (without the consent of, or notice to or any other action by, any other party hereto) to secure the obligations of such Lender or any of its Affiliates to any Person providing any loan, letter of credit or other extension of credit to or for the account of such Lender or any of its Affiliates and any agent, trustee or representative of such Person and (ii) Agent shall be permitted to pledge or grant a security interest in all or any portion of its rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, but not limited to, rights to payment (without the consent of, or notice to or any other action by, any other party hereto), to secure the obligations of Agent or any of its Affiliates to any Person providing any loan, letter of credit to or for the account of Agent or any of its Affiliates and any agent, trustee or representative of such Person; provided in each case, that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release such Lender or Agent from its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender or Agent as a party hereto.

(h)    The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that the Lenders and their Affiliates may securitize the Loans (a “Securitization”) through the pledge of the Loans as collateral security for loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or through the sale of the Loans or the issuance of direct or indirect interests in the Loans to their controlled Affiliates, which loans to the Lenders or their Affiliates or direct or indirect interests may be rated by Moody’s, S&P or one or more other rating agencies. The Loan Parties shall, to the extent commercially reasonable, cooperate with the Lenders and their Affiliates to effect any and all Securitizations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such Securitization shall release the Lender party thereto from any of its obligations hereunder except in accordance with Section 13.01(a).

(i)    During any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent (as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrowers) shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the “Register”) on which it enters the name and address of each Lender as the registered owner of the Loans and/or Revolver Commitments (and the principal amount thereof and stated interest thereon) held by such Lender (each, a “Registered Loan”). During any Non-Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Borrower Representative shall maintain such Register and shall make such Register available to any member of the Lender Group at any reasonable time upon reasonable prior notice to the Borrower Representative. Upon the request of any Third Party Agent upon the commencement of any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Borrower Representative shall share such Register with the Third Party Agent, and with respect to any discrepancies between the records or Register of the Borrower Representative, on the one hand, and the records or Register of any Lender, the Agent or the Third Party Agent, on the other hand, the records and Register of such Lender, Agent or Third Party Agent shall govern and control absent manifest error. Other than in connection with an assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its portion of the Loans and/or Revolver Commitments to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender (i) a Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide) and (ii) any assignment or sale of all or part of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by

 

141


registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, together with the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the designated assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any evidencing the same), Borrowers shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In the case of any assignment by a Lender of all or any portion of its Loans and/or Revolver Commitments to an Affiliate of such Lender or a Related Fund of such Lender, and which assignment is not recorded in the Register, the assigning Lender, on behalf of Borrowers, shall maintain a register comparable to the Register.

(j)    In the event that a Lender sells participations in the Registered Loan, such Lender, as a non-fiduciary agent on behalf of Borrowers, shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) a register on which it enters the name of all participants in the Registered Loans held by it (and the principal amount (and stated interest thereon) of the portion of such Registered Loans that is subject to such participations) (the “Participant Register”). A Registered Loan (and the Registered Note, if any, evidencing the same) may be participated in whole or in part only by registration of such participation on the Participant Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide). Any participation of such Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.

(k)    Agent shall make a copy of the Register (and each Lender shall make a copy of its Participant Register to the extent it has one) available for review by Borrowers from time to time as Borrowers may reasonably request.

13.02    Successors. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties; provided, that Borrowers and other Loan Parties may not assign this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any rights, obligations or duties hereunder or thereunder without Agent’s and all the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely void ab initio. No consent to assignment by Agent and/or the Lenders shall release Borrowers from their Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant to Section 13.01 and, except as expressly required pursuant to Section 13.01, no consent or approval by Borrowers is required in connection with any such assignment. For the avoidance of doubt, Agent may delegate any of its rights, duties and obligations to any Third Party Agent during any Third Party Agent Retention Period.

ARTICLE XIV.

14.01    Amendments and Waivers.

(a)    No amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent with respect to any departure by Borrowers

14.02    [Reserved].

14.03    No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by Agent (including any Third Party Agent), any Lender or any other member of the Lender Group to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent (including any Third Party Agent), any Lender or any other member of the Lender Group in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent (including any Third Party Agent), any Lender or any other member of the Lender Group will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent (including any Third Party Agent), any Lender or any other member of the Lender Group on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s (including any Third Party Agent’s), each Lender’s and each other member of the Lender Group’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrowers and the other Loan Parties of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Agent’s (including any Third Party Agent’s), each Lender’s and each other member of the Lender Group’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent (including any Third Party Agent), any Lender or any other member of the Lender Group may have.

ARTICLE XV.

AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP.

15.01    Appointment and Authorization of Agent (and any Third Party Agent). Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent (including any Third Party Agent) to enter into each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party (other than this Agreement) on its behalf and to take such actions as Agent (or such Third Party Agent) on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to Agent (or such Third Party Agent) by the terms thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Subject to the terms of Section 14.01 and to the terms of the other Loan Documents, Agent is authorized and empowered to amend, modify, or waive any provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on behalf of Lenders. The provisions of this Article XV are solely for the benefit of Agent (including any Third Party Agent) and Lenders and neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, Agent (and any Third Party Agent) shall act solely as agent of Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any

 

144


obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for any Borrower or any other Loan Party. Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, by or through its agents, subagents, servicers, trustees, investment managers or employees or any Third Party Agent. Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not Agent, and Agent and its Affiliates may lend money to, invest in and generally engage in any kind of business with each Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party as if it were not Agent hereunder. The duties of Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein.

15.02    Delegation of Duties. Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees, attorneys in fact or any Third Party Agent and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent, attorney in fact or Third Party Agent that it selects as long as such selection was made without a final, non-appealable binding decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to be from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent.

15.03    Liability of Agent. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, subagents, trustees, investment managers, servicers or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or not taken by it in connection with the Loan Documents, except that Agent shall be liable with respect to its specific duties set forth hereunder but only to the extent of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in the discharge thereof as determined by a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. Neither Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, subagents, trustees, investment managers, servicers or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify (a) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with any Loan Document or any borrowing hereunder; (b) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements specified in any Loan Document; (c) the satisfaction of any condition specified in any Loan Document; (d) the validity, effectiveness, sufficiency or genuineness of any Loan Document, any Lien purported to be created or perfected thereby or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection therewith; (e) the existence or non-existence of any Default or Event of Default; or (f) the financial condition of any Loan Party. Agent shall not incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, facsimile or electronic transmission or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties. Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error the sole recourse of any Lender to whom payment was due but not made, shall be to recover from other Lenders any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to be entitled (and such other Lenders hereby agree to return to such Lender any such erroneous payments received by them). Agent may consult with legal counsel, independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

 

145


15.04    Reliance by Agent. Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrowers or any other Loan Party or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.

15.05    Notice of Default or Event of Default. Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest, fees, and expenses required to be paid to Agent for the account of the Lenders and, except with respect to Events of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or Borrowers referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject to Section 15.04, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance with Article IX; provided, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable.

15.06    Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrowers and their Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such due diligence, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of an investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrowers. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking

 

146


or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrowers or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrowers or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges that Agent does not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis (except to the extent, if any, that is expressly specified herein) to provide such Lender with any credit or other information with respect to Borrowers, their Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and irrespective of whether such information came into Agent’s or its Affiliates’ or representatives’ possession before or after the date on which such Lender became a party to this Agreement.

15.07    Costs and Expenses; Indemnification. Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including with respect to due diligence expenses and periodic reviews of insurance and Collateral, court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses, fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrowers or the other Loan Parties are obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from (a) any deposits paid on or prior to the Closing Date and any subsequent deposits paid by Borrowers or any other Loan Party to Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (b) payments or proceeds of the Collateral received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrowers, any other Loan Party or their Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s ratable thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, (i) Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from any deposits paid on or prior to the Closing Date and any subsequent deposits paid by Borrowers or any other Loan Party to Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document for the payment of the Indemnified Liabilities and (ii) each of the Lenders, on a ratable basis, shall indemnify and defend the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrowers and without limiting the obligation of Borrowers to do so) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable and binding decision of a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan

 

147


Document to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. The undertaking in this Section shall survive the payment of all Obligations hereunder and the resignation or replacement of Agent (and any resignation, replacement or termination of any Third Party Agent).

15.08    Agent in Individual Capacity. Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Stock in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Document as though Agent were not Agent hereunder, and, in each case, without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Agent in its individual capacity.

15.09    Assignment by Agent; Resignation of Agent; Successor Agent.

(a)    Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders (or such lesser period agreed to by the Required Lenders). If Agent resigns under this Agreement, Agent may appoint, with the consent of the Required Lenders, a successor Agent. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, the Required Lenders may appoint a successor Agent from among the Lenders or may appoint another Person as a successor Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days (or such lesser period agreed to by the Required Lenders) following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder (and all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly) until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

(b)    Upon (i) an assignment permitted by Section 15.09(a) above, or (ii) the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Agent pursuant to Section 15.09(a) above, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 15.09). The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrowers and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article XV and Section 15.09 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent and its agents and subagents and its Third Party Agents in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting or was continuing to act as Agent.

(c)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents, any Third Party Agent that becomes the Agent or a subagent of Agent and any delegation, assignment or other transfer of duties, responsibilities or rights of Agent to any Third Party Agent, in each case,

 

148


does not require the consent of any Person (other than Agent) and shall be permitted at all times under the Loan Documents.

15.10    Lender in Individual Capacity. Any Lender and its respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire Stock in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting, or other business with Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and Affiliates and any other Person party to any Loan Documents as though such Lender were not a Lender hereunder without notice to or consent of the other members of the Lender Group.

15.11    Collateral Matters.

(a)    Lenders irrevocably authorize Agent, at its sole option and in its sole discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document (a) upon termination of all of the Commitments and payment in full in cash of all Obligations; (b) constituting property sold or disposed of as part of or in connection with any disposition permitted by Section 6.04 that is not to another Loan Party (it being understood and agreed that Agent may (but is not required to) conclusively rely without further inquiry on a certificate of an Authorized Officer as to the sale or other disposition of property being made in full compliance with Section 6.04 and the other provisions of the Loan Documents); or (c) in connection with a credit bid or purchase authorized under this Section 15.11. Upon request by Agent at any time, Lenders will confirm Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 15.11.

(b)    The Loan Parties and the members of the Lender Group hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to (A) consent to, credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (B) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code, or (C) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy. In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, (1) the Obligations owed to the Lenders shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not impair or unduly delay the ability of Agent to credit bid or purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such contingent or unliquidated claims cannot be estimated without impairing or unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid at such sale or other disposition, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase) and the Lenders whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase (or in the Stock of the any entities that are used to consummate such credit bid or purchase), and (2) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to consummate

 

149


such credit bid or purchase and in connection therewith Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders, or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 15.11; provided, that (x) anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents notwithstanding, Agent shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, could expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (y) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly released) upon (or obligations of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties in respect of) any and all interests retained by Borrowers and the other Loan Parties, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Each Lender further hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Lien on such property if such Permitted Lien secures Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness.

(c)    Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders (i) to verify or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrowers, the other Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (iii) to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, (iv) to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (v) to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.

15.12    Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.

(a)    Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrowers, the other Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of Borrowers, the other Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce

 

150


any Loan Document against Borrowers or any Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.

(b)    If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.

15.13    Agency for Perfection. Agent and each other member of the Lender Group hereby appoint each other member of the Lender Group and any Third Party Agent as agent for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s security interest and Liens in the Collateral and assets which, in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be perfected by possession or control. Should any member of the Lender Group (other than Agent) obtain possession or control of any such assets, such member of the Lender Group shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver such assets to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions or transfer control to Agent in accordance with Agent’s instructions. Each member of the Lender Group (other than Agent) agrees that it will not have any right individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Loan Document or to realize upon any Collateral unless instructed to do so by Agent (or consented to by Agent), it being understood and agreed by the members of the Lender Group that such rights and remedies may be exercised only by Agent.

15.14    Payments by Agent to the Lenders. All payments to be made by Agent (or any Third Party Agent) to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent (or such Third Party Agent). Concurrently with each such payment, Agent (or, during any Third Party Agent Retention Period, the Third Party Agent with the approval of Agent) shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, interest or other amounts of the Obligations.

15.15    Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers

 

151


that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the members of the Lender Group.

15.16    Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 15.07, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to Borrowers, any other Loan Party, any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for such Lender or on its behalf, nor to take any other action on behalf of such Lender hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.

15.17    Right to Request and Act on Instructions. Agent may at any time request instructions from Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the other Loan Documents Agent is permitted or desires to take or to grant, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from Required Lenders or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of Required Lenders (or all or such other portion of the Lenders as shall be prescribed by this Agreement) and, notwithstanding the instructions of Required Lenders (or such other applicable portion of the Lenders), Agent shall have no obligation to take any action if it believes, in good faith, that such action would violate Applicable Law or exposes Agent to any liability for which it has not received satisfactory indemnification in accordance with the provisions of Section 15.07.

ARTICLE XVI.

WITHHOLDING TAXES.

16.01    Payments.

(a)    All payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Taxes except as otherwise required by applicable law, and in the event any deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes is required, Borrowers shall comply with the next sentence of

 

152


this Section 16.01. If any Applicable Law requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then (a) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (b) if such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 16.01) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made. Borrowers will furnish to Agent (including any Third Party Agent) and the Lenders as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Indemnified Tax is due pursuant to Applicable Law, the original or certified copy of tax receipts issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment by Borrowers, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Agent and the Lenders. Borrowers agree to pay any present or future stamp, value added or documentary Taxes or any other excise or property Taxes, charges, or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation, or filing of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

(b)    Borrowers shall reimburse and indemnify, within ten days after receipt of demand therefor, each Recipient for all Indemnified Taxes (including all Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 16.01(b)) paid or payable by such Recipient, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the applicable Recipient(s) setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrowers shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

16.02    Exemptions.

(a)    If a Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption or reduction from United States withholding tax, such Lender or Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) one of the following before receiving its first payment under this Agreement:

(i)    if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from United States withholding tax pursuant to the portfolio interest exception, (A) a statement (a “Portfolio Interest Certificate”) of the Lender or Participant, signed under penalty of perjury, that it is not a (I) a “bank” as described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the IRC, (II) a 10% shareholder of Borrowers (within the meaning of Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the IRC), or (III) a controlled foreign corporation related to Borrowers within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the IRC, and (B) a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E or Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments). If such Lender or Participant is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Lender or Participant are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender or Participant may provide a Portfolio Interest Certificate on behalf of such partners.

(ii)    if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from, or a reduction of, withholding tax under a United States tax treaty, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8BEN-E;

 

153


(iii)    if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because it is effectively connected with a United States trade or business of such Lender, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(iv)    if such Lender or Participant is entitled to claim that interest paid under this Agreement is exempt from United States withholding tax because such Lender or Participant serves as an intermediary, a properly completed and executed copy of IRS Form W-8IMY (with proper attachments);

(v)    a properly completed and executed copy of any other form or forms, including IRS Form W-9, as may be required under the IRC or other laws of the United States as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, United States withholding or backup withholding tax; or

(vi)    a properly completed form or forms, and other required documentation (to be designated under Sections 1471 and 1472 of the IRC) to claim an exemption from any withholding tax imposed under FATCA.

(b)    Each Lender or Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) at the time or times reasonably requested by Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation only), but only if such Lender or such Participant is legally able to deliver such forms, and shall promptly notify of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(c)    If a Lender or Participant claims an exemption from withholding tax in a jurisdiction other than the United States, such Lender or such Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement, and at the time or times reasonably requested by Agent, but only if such Lender or such Participant is legally able to deliver such forms, provided, that nothing in this Section 16.02(c) shall require a Lender or Participant to disclose any information that it deems to be confidential (including without limitation, its tax returns). Each Lender and each Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) and shall promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.

(d)    If a Lender or Participant claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax and such Lender or Participant sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to such Lender or Participant, such Lender or Participant agrees to notify Agent (or, in the case of a sale of a participation interest, to the Lender granting the participation only) of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties to such Lender or Participant. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender’s or such

 

154


Participant’s documentation provided pursuant to Section 16.02(a) or 16.02(c) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount, such Participant or Assignee may provide new documentation, pursuant to Section 16.02(a) or 16.02(c), if applicable. Borrowers and the other Loan Parties agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article XVI with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Obligations so long as such Participant complies with the obligations set forth in this Article XVI with respect thereto.

(e)    If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the IRC, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the IRC) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) as may be necessary for Agent or Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

16.03    Refunds. If Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes to which Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Article XVI, so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it shall pay over such refund to Borrowers (but only to the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this Article XVI with respect to Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the applicable Governmental Authority with respect to such a refund); provided, that Borrowers, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges, imposed by the applicable Governmental Authority, other than such penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent hereunder) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Article XVI shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to Borrowers, the other Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries, their Affiliates or any other Person.

ARTICLE XVII.

GENERAL PROVISIONS.

17.01    Effectiveness. This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Borrowers, Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof.

 

155


17.02    Article and Section Headings. Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Article and Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.

17.03    Interpretation. Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against the Lender Group or Borrowers, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.

17.04    Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.

17.05    Debtor-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

17.06    Counterparts; Electronic Execution. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Document mutatis mutandis.

17.07    Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations; Certain Waivers. If any member of the Lender Group repays, refunds, restores, or returns in whole or in part, any payment or property (including any proceeds of Collateral) previously paid or transferred to such member of the Lender Group in full or partial satisfaction of any Obligation or on account of any other obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document, because the payment, transfer, or the incurrence of the obligation so satisfied is asserted or declared to be void, voidable, or otherwise recoverable under any law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent transfers, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable obligations or transfers (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), or because such member of the Lender Group elects to do so on the reasonable advice of its counsel in connection with a claim that the payment, transfer, or incurrence is or may be a Voidable Transfer, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that such member of the Lender Group elects to repay, restore, or return (including pursuant to a settlement of any claim in respect thereof), and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees of such member of the Lender Group related thereto, the liability of the Loan Parties with

 

156


respect to the amount or property paid, refunded, restored, or returned will automatically and immediately be revived, reinstated, and restored and will exist. If, prior to any of the foregoing, any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall have been terminated or cancelled, such provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligation of any Loan Party in respect of such liability or any Collateral securing such liability.

17.08    Confidentiality.

(a)    Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to the Agent-Related Persons and Lender-Related Persons (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person, the Agent-Related Persons or Lender-Related Persons (including any self-regulatory authority), (c) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any member of the Lender Group or any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 17.08, to (i) any Assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or the Agent-Related Persons or the Lender-Related Persons or any Related Party) to any transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Loan Parties and their obligations, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or payments hereunder or thereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (h) with the consent of any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, (i) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 17.08(a) or (y) becomes available to any member of the Lender Group or any of its Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Endologix, or (j) as provided in Section 5.20. In addition, Agent (including any Third Party Agent) and the Lenders may disclose the existence of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and information about this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to Agent (including any Third Party Agent) and the Lenders in connection with the administration of the Loans and other Obligations and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents

(b)    For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Agent, any Lender or any other member of the Lender Group on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary of such Loan Party; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the

 

157


Loan Documents, in the case of information received from the Borrowers, the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries after the Closing Date, such Information is both (y) clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential and (z) provided to Agent and the Lenders at a time when Agent and such Lenders have requested in writing to receive material nonpublic information. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 17.08 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

17.09    Survival. All representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans and the providing of the Commitments, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Agent, any Third Party Agent, any Lender or any other member of the Lender Group may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of, or any accrued interest on, any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any other Obligations are outstanding or unpaid and so long as all of the Commitments have not expired or been terminated.

17.10    Patriot Act. Agent (including any Third Party Agent) and each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrowers that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, they are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the names, address and tax identification numbers of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow Agent (or such Third Party Agent) or such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, if Agent (including any Third Party Agent) or any Lender is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties’ senior management and key principals, and Borrowers and the other Loan Parties agree to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agree that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall constitute Lender Group Expenses hereunder and be for the account of Borrowers and the other Loan Parties. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the Patriot Act and is effective for Agent.

17.11    Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

17.12    No Setoff. All payments made by each Loan Party hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be made in immediately available funds and without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense.

 

158


17.13    Intercreditor Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document: (i) the Liens granted to the Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents and the exercise of any right related to any Collateral shall be subject, in each case, to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) in the event of any conflict between the express terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, on the one hand, and of the Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand, the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, shall control, and (iii) each Lender hereunder authorizes and instructs Agent to execute the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender, and such Lender agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.

(b) Each Lender (and by it acceptance of the benefits of any Loan Document, each other Secured Party) hereunder authorizes and instructs the Agent, as Agent and on behalf of such Lender or other Secured Party, to enter into one or more intercreditor agreements (including any Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time pursuant to, or as contemplated by, the terms of this Agreement, including any amendments, supplements or other modifications thereto, and agrees that it will be bound by the terms and provisions thereof and will take no actions contrary to the terms and provisions thereof.

Vicky Nguyen v. Endologix, Inc., et al.: (Filed January 3, 2017 in the United States District Court, Central District of California; Case No. 2:17-cv-00017). A putative shareholder class action pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Lead plaintiff in Nguyen asserts multiple causes of action for securities fraud based on allegations that Borrower and two of its executives, John McDermott, former Chief Executive Officer of Borrower, and Vaseem Mahboob, Chief Financial Officer of Borrower misled investors by opining optimistically about Borrower’s prospects for FDA pre-market approval of the Nellix EVAS System. On March 15, 2019, lead plaintiff filed an appeal of the District Court’s September 2018 dismissal with prejudice of lead plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint. Borrower continues to believe that lead plaintiff’s complaints are meritless. On December 5, 2017, the District Court granted Borrower’s motion to dismiss lead plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint, with leave to amend. On January 9, 2018, lead plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint. Borrower’s motion for dismissal of the Second Amended Complaint with prejudice was granted on September 6, 2018. On October 6. 2018, lead plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the District Court’s decision, and on March 15, 2019, lead plaintiff filed its appeal. In April 2019, Borrower filed its response brief to plaintiff’s appeal, and the Appellate Court’s hearing on this matter occurred on February 11, 2020. The Company expects the Appellate Court’s decision to be rendered later in 2020.

 

   

Derivative Lawsuits: As of June 11, 2017, four shareholders have filed derivative lawsuits on behalf of Borrower, the nominal plaintiff, based on allegations substantially similar to those alleged by lead plaintiff in Nguyen. Those actions consist of: Sindlinger v. McDermott et al., Case No. BC662280 (Los Angeles Superior Court); Abraham v. McDermott et al., Case No. 30-2018-00968971-CU-BT-CSC (Orange County Superior Court); and Green v. McDermott et al., Case No. 8:17-cv-01155-AB (PLAx), consolidated with Cocco v. McDermott et al., Case No. 8:17-cv-01183-AB (PLAx) (U.S. District Court for the Central District of California). Plaintiffs in the Sindlinger, Abraham and Green derivative actions have agreed to stay litigation pending resolution of the Nguyen action. A related case, Ahmed v. Endologix, Inc., et al. (Filed January 11, 2017 in the United States District Court, Central District of California; Case No. 8:17-cv-00061) was consolidated into Nguyen v. Endologix, Inc.

 

   

Kerr: On July 30, 2019, an action was brought in United States District Court for the Central District of California (Case No. 8:19-cv-01457) against Borrower and certain other Loan Parties by Andrew Kerr, M.D., alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,257,423, 9,050,182 and 10,105,209, which allegedly were issued to and are owned by Dr. Kerr. As alleged in the complaint, the accused infringing devices include the Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft System, the Ovation Prime Abdominal Stent Graft System, the Ovation Prime, the Ovation IX Abdominal Stent Graft System, and the Ovation iX (collectively, the “Ovation Devices”). Borrower believes plaintiff’s claims are without merit and is vigorously defending the action.


   

AFX: Borrower has been named as a defendant in a number of complaints, in each case alleging a variety of product liability-based claims pertaining to Borrower’s AFX with Strata product. Borrower believes it has insurance responsive to these claims, which insurance provides for a $150,000 per claim deductible and an aggregate one million dollar aggregate deductible (for the policy year applicable to these claims). Borrower believes plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and is vigorously defending the action.

 

   

Kaiser: Borrower has received a letter, dated January 10, 2020, from outside counsel to KP Select, LLC, one of the Kaiser Permanent family of companies (“Kaiser”), demanding that Borrower provide reimbursement to Kaiser in the amount of $4.1 million dollars for costs allegedly incurred by Kaiser for treating patients whose AFX Endovascular AAA Systems were subject to the July 2018 recall notice. Borrower vigorously disputes this payment demand. Since it is presently not possible to determine the outcome of any future discussions with Kaiser regarding this matter, and whether litigation will ensue, or the outcomes associated with potential litigation, no provision has been made in Borrower’s financial statements for the ultimate resolution.

 

   

Royalty Demand: Borrower has received a letter, dated February 13, 2020, from a licensor under one of the Company’s inbound patent license agreements alleging that the Company is in breach of certain royalty payment obligations under such agreement. In this letter, licensor has expressed a desire to reach a reasonable and amicable resolution of this matter. Borrower vigorously disagrees with this payment demand. Since it is presently not possible to determine the outcome of any future discussions with the licensor regarding this matter, and whether litigation will ensue, or the outcomes associated with potential litigation, no provision has been made in Borrower’s financial statements at this time for the ultimate resolution. Should a bona fide dispute ensure, it is possible that Borrower will be required to deposit the disputed amount into escrow pending resolution of the dispute.

 

   

Other IP Infringement Notice: The Loan Parties have received notice from an individual claiming that certain of our products read on certain issued patents held by such individual. The Loan Parties, after consultation with independent patent counsel, strongly disagrees with these claims. Since it is presently not possible to determine the outcome of any future discussions with these individuals in regard to their patents, and whether litigation will ensue, or the outcomes associated with potential litigation, no provision has been made in Borrower’s financial statements for the ultimate resolution.

Options and Equity Incentive/Compensation Plans:

2015 Stock Incentive Plan:    Borrower’s 2015 Stock Incentive Plan as amended (the “2015 Plan”) authorizes the grant of equity awards to purchase up to 4.13 million shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 2.1 million shares were reserved for issuance under outstanding stock options, including stock options granted under equity compensation plans preceding the 2015 Plan, and approximately 740,000 shares were subject to unvested restricted stock awards. The outstanding stock options have exercise prices ranging from $4.71 to $175.80 and a weighted average exercise price of $10.23. There have been no material changes to the items discussed in this paragraph as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.

Amended and Restated 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”): As of December 31, 2019, approximately 435,000 shares of Common Stock were available for issuance under the ESPP. There have been no material changes to such amount as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.


2017 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan: The Board has reserved 900,000 shares of Borrower’s Common Stock for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2017 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 500,000 shares of Common Stock were available for issuance under this plan. There have been no material changes to such amount as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.

Non-Plan Inducement Grants: In connection with its merger with TriVascular Technologies, Inc., on February 4, 2016 Borrower issued non-plan inducement stock options to purchase 140,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $75.30 per share, and non-plan inducement restricted stock units for approximately 8,000 shares of Common Stock. Upon consummation of Borrower’s stockholder-approved option exchange program in September 2019, there were non-inducement stock options outstanding to purchase approximately 22,000 shares of common stock of Borrower at a weighted-average exercise price of $35.29. As of December 31, 2019, non-plan inducement restricted stock units for approximately 6,000 shares of Common Stock remained outstanding.

Warrants:

In connection with its merger with TriVascular Technologies, Inc. on February 3, 2016, Borrower assumed unexercised out-of-the-money warrants of TriVascular Technologies, Inc., which converted into warrants to purchase 3,508 shares of Common Stock, 2,426 at an exercise price of $125.80 per share and 1,082 at an exercise price of $282.10 per share.

Borrower has previously issued warrants to Lenders to purchase an aggregate of 1,522,002 shares of Common Stock of Borrower at an exercise price of $6.61 per share. At the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, these warrants will be amended to reduce the exercise price to $1.50 per share upon the terms and conditions set forth in the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment.

On April 3, 2019, Borrower issued and sold a pre-paid warrant exercisable for Borrower’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.61 per share to an investor, as contemplated pursuant to Equity Financing Documents. The exercise price for the pre-paid warrant was fully paid at issuance and is exercisable at any time until April 3, 2029, subject to satisfaction of certain equity ownership limitations as described in such warrant.

Convertible Notes:

2020 3.25% Convertible Notes; 2024 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes: On November 2, 2015, Borrower issued $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the Facility Agreement with Deerfield, $40.5 million of the aggregate principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes was cancelled; $84.5 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Notes were thereafter outstanding. At the Second Amendment Effective Date, approximately $73.36 million of the remaining $84.5 million of 3.25% Convertible Notes was exchanged for (i) approximately $42 million of new 5.0% Voluntary Convertible Senior Notes due 2024; and $25 million of new 5.0% Voluntary Convertible Senior Notes due 2024. At the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the remaining outstanding 3.25% Convertible Notes totaling approximately $11.00 million of aggregate principal plus outstanding interest will be exchanged for approximately $11.0 million of new 5.0% Voluntary Convertible Senior Notes due 2024.


Pursuant to this Agreement the Borrower may issue Conversion Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Notes.

Pursuant to the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment, the Borrower may, at Borrower’s option pay the Restructuring Fee (as defined in the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment) through the issuance of the Fourth Amendment Restructuring Shares (as defined in the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment).

Other Rights to Securities of Borrower:

In connection with its merger with Nellix, Inc. (“Nellix”), Borrower agreed to issue shares of Common Stock to the former stockholders of Nellix upon Borrower’s receipt of FDA approval to sell its Nellix EVAS System in the United States (the “PMA Milestone”). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the former stockholders of Nellix upon achievement of the PMA Milestone shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing $15.0 million by the average per share closing price of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market for each of the 30 consecutive trading days ending with the fifth trading day immediately preceding the date of Borrower’s receipt of FDA approval to sell its Nellix EVAS System in the United States, subject to a stock price floor of $45.00 per share, but not subject to a stock price ceiling.

The Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Notice shall (i) state the Borrower’s intent to consummate and complete a Qualified Equity Financing during the Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Period, (ii) describe with particularity the material terms of the Qualified Equity Financing, including the contemplated closing date therefor, (iii) provide each Lender’s allocation (or, in the case of a Public Qualified Equity Financing, a reasonable estimate of such allocation) of Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Securities resulting from such Qualified Equity Financing, and (iv) certify that the Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Conditions and the General Conditions are, and are expected upon the closing of the Qualified Equity Financing to be, satisfied (provided, for this purpose, that the condition set forth in clause (i) of the definition of Share Issuance Conditions and clause (e) of the definition of General Conditions need only be satisfied as of the closing of the Qualified Equity Financing). Upon the written request of any Lender made within two (2) Business Days after its receipt of the Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Notice (an “Additional Information Request”), the Borrower shall provide such Lender, and each other Lender, with such additional information regarding the proposed Qualified Equity Financing as such Lender shall request.

12


the issuance of any Additional Qualified Equity Financing Securities, the Borrower shall deliver to each Lender (or its designee) a certificate or other instrument, duly executed on behalf of the Borrower and not bearing any restrictive legend, representing Additional Qualified Equity Financing Securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, a number of shares of Common Stock that would underlie the Additional Qualified Equity Financing Securities issuable to an investor investing in the Qualified Equity Financing an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of First Out Waterfall Notes being exchanged by such Lender (the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock and, if applicable, Additional Qualified Equity Financing Securities issuable to the Lenders pursuant to this clause (ii) and the immediately preceding clause (i) being referred to, collectively, as “Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Securities”); and (iii) the Borrower shall pay, in cash, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by each Lender, all accrued and unpaid interest on such Lender’s Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Notes held by such Lender through the Qualified Equity Financing Closing Date (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, interest that has become part of the principal of the First Out Waterfall Notes pursuant to PIK Interest Payments made prior thereto). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that, at the Qualified Equity Financing Effective Time, the transfer agent for the Common Stock is a “qualified custodian” (as defined in Rule 206(4)-2 (or successor thereto) under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended), in lieu of the Borrower’s delivering certificates representing the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock contemplated by clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence, such transfer agent (acting as the transfer agent for the Series DF-1 Preferred Stock) shall, at or before the Qualified Equity Financing Effective Time, electronically credit the shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock to which each Lender (or its designee) shall be entitled by book-entry in the name of such Lender (or its designee) on the books and records of such transfer agent (and not subject to any restrictive legend or stop transfer instructions) and deliver a statement thereof to such Lender (or its designee). The consummation of the Qualified Equity Financing Exchange shall be contingent upon the completion of the Qualified Equity Financing; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the determination to complete any such Qualified Equity Financing shall be within the Borrower’s sole discretion.

(e) Record Holder; Reduction in Principal Amount. Upon the Qualified Equity Financing Effective Time, (i) each Lender shall be deemed for all corporate purposes to have become the legal, beneficial and record holder of the Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Securities contemplated hereby, and entitled to exercise all rights (including conversion rights) as a holder thereof, and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of the First Out Waterfall Notes held by such Lender shall be reduced by such aggregate principal amount so exchanged for such Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Securities. In the event that any such Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Securities are not delivered on a timely basis in accordance herewith, the Lenders shall have the right to rescind and terminate any or all of the transactions contemplated by this Section 3, to exercise any of the remedies available under the First Out Waterfall Notes in the event of any failure to timely deliver Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Securities (as if the Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Securities were Conversion Shares thereunder) and/or to exercise any and all other rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

(f) Rights and Benefits of Lenders. Upon the Qualified Equity Financing Effective Time, each Lender shall be entitled to all rights and benefits as shall be provided to any investors

 

13


in the Qualified Equity Financing under the New Equity Financing Documents; provided, that, any warrants or other similar Additional Qualified Equity Financing Securities issued to a Lender in the Qualified Equity Financing Exchange shall be exercisable on a “cashless” (net issue) basis, in addition to any other bases otherwise provided in such Additional Qualified Equity Financing Security, and any Additional Qualified Equity Financing Securities issued to a Lender shall include a limitation on conversion, exercise or exchange substantially the same as the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation” set forth in the Series DF-1 Certificate of Designation. Without limiting the foregoing, the Borrower hereby covenants, acknowledges and agrees that the Qualified Equity Financing Exchange shall, for the benefit of each of the Lenders, be effected at the most favorable price and on the most favorable terms as are provided to any investors in the Qualified Equity Financing. For purposes of this Agreement, “New Equity Financing Documents” means all documents and instruments entered into by the Borrower in connection with the Qualified Equity Financing.

(g) Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Conditions. For purposes of this Agreement, “Qualified Equity Financing Exchange Conditions” means:

(ii) investors purchasing not less than 70% of the offered securities in the Qualified Equity Financing shall consist solely of private equity funds, hedge funds, mutual funds or other similar private investment funds and/or other institutional investors, each of which is a “qualified institutional buyer” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, but expressly excluding any operating business or subsidiary thereof or any other non-financial investor;

(iii) the proceeds from the Qualified Equity Financing shall be designated for use for general corporate purposes; and

(iv) the Common Stock Value (determined in the applicable manner set forth in the definition thereof) as of the Qualified Equity Financing Closing Date shall not be less than the Floor Price, and the highest per share issuance price, or deemed issuance price, of the Common Stock issued or deemed issued in the Qualified Equity Financing shall not be greater than the Closing Price on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of execution of the New Equity Financing Documents.

The provisions of this Section 27 shall survive the satisfaction in full of the Obligations and the termination of the Amended Facility Agreement.

SECTION 28. Independent Nature of Lenders. The obligations of each Lender under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents (including as amended hereby, as applicable) are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Lender, and no Lender shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents (including as amended hereby, as applicable). Each Lender shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants

 

33


hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including as amended hereby, as applicable). The decision of each Lender to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby has been made by such Lender independently of any other Lender and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Borrower that may have been made or given by any other Lender or by any agent, attorney, advisor, representative or employee of any other Lender, and no Lender or any of its agents, attorneys, advisors, representatives or employees shall have any liability to any other Lender (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions.

Any reference to “payment in full”, “paid in full”, “repaid in full”, “prepaid in full”, “redeemed in full”, “no Obligations remain outstanding” or any other term or word of similar effect used in this Agreement or any other Loan Document with respect to the Loans or the Obligations shall mean all Obligations (including any Non-Callable Make Whole Amount, any CoC Fee and the Restructuring Payment) (other than (y) unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and (z) those Obligations under any Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement that are not due or payable at the time when all other Obligations are paid in full in cash) have been repaid in full in cash, have been fully performed and no longer remain outstanding.

Section 1.3 Business Day Adjustment. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein or in any other Loan Document, if the day by which any payment or other performance is due to be made is not a Business Day, that payment or performance shall be made by the next succeeding Business Day unless that next succeeding Business Day falls in a different calendar month, in which case that payment or other performance shall be made by the Business Day immediately preceding the day by which such payment or other performance is due to be made; provided that interest will continue to accrue each additional day in connection therewith.

Section 1.4 Loan Records.

(a) The Borrower shall record on its books and records the amount of the Loan, the type and tranche of the Loans (whether the Loan is a First Out Waterfall Loan or a Last Out Waterfall Loan), the interest rate applicable thereto, all payments of principal and interest thereon and the principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding.

(b) The Borrower shall establish and maintain at its address referred to in Section 6.1, a record of ownership (the “Register”) in which the Borrower agrees to register by book entry the interests (including any rights to receive payment hereunder) of each Lender in the Loan (including whether the Lender is a First Out Waterfall Lender or a Last Out Waterfall Lender and whether the Loan is a First Out Waterfall Loan or a Last Out Waterfall Lender), and any assignment of any such interest or interests. The Borrower shall maintain such Register in accordance with usual and customary business practices and the Borrower shall record (1) the names and addresses of the Lenders (and any change thereto pursuant to this Agreement), (2) the amount of the Loan (and whether the amount of such Loan is related to a First Out Waterfall Loan or a Last Out Waterfall Loan) and each funding of any participation therein, (3) the amount

 

46


of any principal, interest, fee or other amount due and payable or paid, and (4) any other payment received by the Lenders from the Borrower and its application to the Loan.

(c) The Loans made by each Lender are evidenced by this Agreement and the Loan Notes issued pursuant to the Prior Facility Agreement. On the Agreement Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to (x) each First Out Waterfall Lender, a new First Out Waterfall Note and (y) each Last Out Waterfall Lender, a new Last Out Waterfall Note, and after the Agreement Date the Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so requested by any assignee Lender pursuant to the assignment provisions of Section 6.5) on the date of request by such Lender an amended and restated Loan Note or new Loan Note (which (i) if to a First Out Waterfall Lender, shall be substantially in the form of a First Out Waterfall Note attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, and (ii) if to a Last Out Waterfall Lender, shall be substantially in the form of a Last Out Waterfall Note attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 (in each case, with any amendment and restatement mechanics built in as necessary that are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such applicable Lender and the Agent)), in each case, payable to such Lender in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the Loans held by such Lender (which, at the request of such Lender shall be in the form of separate Loan Notes (taking into account the type and tranche of Loan) for separate or different parts of the Loans (taking into account the type and tranche of Loan) held by such Lender). On the Second Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to each First Out Waterfall Lender, a new First Out Waterfall Note (which shall be substantially in the form of a First Out Waterfall Note attached hereto as Exhibit A-3 (in each case, with any amendment and restatement mechanics built in as necessary that are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such First Out Waterfall Lender and the Agent)), in each case, payable to such First Out Waterfall Lender in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the First Out Waterfall Loans held by such First Out Waterfall Lender (which, at the request of such First Out Waterfall Lender shall be in the form of separate Loan Notes (taking into account the type and tranche of Loan) for separate or different parts of the Loans (taking into account the type and tranche of Loan) held by such First Out Waterfall Lender). On the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to each First Out Waterfall Lender, a new First Out Waterfall Note (which shall be substantially in the form of a First Out Waterfall Note attached hereto as Exhibit A-4 (in each case, with any amendment and restatement mechanics built in as necessary that are in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such First Out Waterfall Lender and the Agent)), in each case, payable to such First Out Waterfall Lender in an amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the First Out Waterfall Loans held by such First Out Waterfall Lender (which, at the request of such First Out Waterfall Lender shall be in the form of separate Loan Notes (taking into account the type and tranche of Loan) for separate or different parts of the Loans (taking into account the type and tranche of Loan) held by such First Out Waterfall Lender). For the avoidance of doubt, each “Loan Note” (as defined in the Prior Facility Agreement), each “Loan Note” (as defined in this Agreement immediately prior to giving effect to the Second Amendment) and each “Loan Note” (as defined in this Agreement immediately prior to giving effect to the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment), as applicable, issued, executed and/or delivered by the Borrower prior to the Agreement Date, the Second Amendment Effective Date or the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, as applicable, remains valid, binding and enforceable against the Borrower and continues to evidence and cover the Loans and other Obligations owed to such Lender that is the holder or beneficiary of such Loan Note, and (A) effective on the Agreement Date, shall be deemed amended and restated to be in the form of the First Out Waterfall Note attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 (whether or not the new First Out Waterfall Notes have then been delivered to the First Out Waterfall Lenders as required hereby), (B) effective on the Second Amendment Effective Date, shall be deemed amended and restated to be in the form of the First Out Waterfall Note attached hereto as Exhibit A-3 (whether or not the new First Out Waterfall Notes have then been delivered to the First Out Waterfall Lenders as required hereby), and (C) effective on the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, shall be deemed amended and restated to be in the form of the First Out Waterfall Note attached hereto as Exhibit A-4 (whether or not the new First Out Waterfall Notes have then been delivered to the First Out Waterfall Lenders as required hereby). On and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the principal of, and

 

47


accrued and unpaid interest on, the First Out Waterfall Notes (and the First Out Waterfall Loans evidenced thereby) shall be convertible into shares of Common Stock as provided in the First Out Waterfall Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Loans (including any Note(s) evidencing the Loans) are registered obligations, the right, title and interest of the Lenders and their successors and assignees in and to the Loan shall be transferable only upon notation of such transfer in the Register and no assignment thereof shall be effective until recorded therein. This Section 1.4 shall be construed so that the Loan is at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code.

(d) The Borrower, Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender for all purposes of this Agreement. Information contained in the Register with respect to any Lender shall be available for access by the Borrower, Agent or such Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice, or when an Event of Default or Default exists, with just notice (whether reasonable or not) by Agent or any such Lender.

Section 1.5 Accounting Terms and Principles. All accounting determinations required to be made pursuant hereto shall, unless expressly otherwise provided herein, be made in accordance with GAAP. No change in the accounting principles used in the preparation of any financial statement hereafter adopted by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (including, with respect to GAAP, any change in GAAP that would require leases that would be classified as operating leases under GAAP on the Agreement Date to be reclassified as Capital Leases) shall be given effect for purposes of measuring compliance with any provision of this Agreement or otherwise determining any relevant ratios and baskets which govern whether any action is permitted hereunder unless the Borrower and the Agent agree to modify such provisions to reflect such changes in GAAP, and unless such provisions are modified, all financial statements and similar documents provided hereunder shall be provided together with a reconciliation between the calculations and amounts set forth therein before and after giving effect to such changes in GAAP. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any other Loan Document, all terms of an accounting or financial nature used herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be construed, and all computations of amounts and ratios referred to herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be made, without giving effect to any election under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159 (Codification of Accounting Standards 825-10) to value any Indebtedness or other liabilities of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary at “fair value,” as defined therein.

Section 1.6 Tax Treatment. It is the intention and agreement of the Parties that the changes to the Borrower’s existing indebtedness owed to the Lenders that are being effectuated pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated for federal income tax purposes as made pursuant to and as part of a plan of recapitalization and reorganization of the Borrower described in Section 368(a)(1)(E) of the Code. The Parties shall prepare their income Tax Returns consistent with this treatment unless otherwise required by applicable federal income Tax law.

Section 1.7 Officers. Any document, agreement or instrument delivered under the Loan Documents that is signed by an Authorized Officer or another officer of a Loan Party shall be conclusively presumed to have been authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership and/or other action on the part of such Loan Party and such Authorized Officer or other officer shall be conclusively presumed to have acted on behalf of such Loan Party in such person’s capacity as an officer of such Loan Party and not in any individual capacity.

Section 1.8 Joint Drafting and Negotiation. The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question or intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no

 

48


presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

First Amortization Date   16.66667% of the principal amount of all the First Out Waterfall Loans as of the First Amortization Date after taking into account the PIK Interest Payments added to the principal of the First Out Waterfall Loans on or before the First Amortization Date (such payment of First Out Waterfall Loans, the “Scheduled First Amortization Payment of First Out Waterfall Loans”); provided, that, on and after the consummation of the Initial Note Exchange in accordance with the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment following the satisfaction of the Initial Note Exchange Condition (if applicable), the amount set forth hereon this table shall be $0 and, accordingly, there shall no longer be any Scheduled First Amortization Payment of First Out Waterfall Loans. For the avoidance of doubt, the proviso in the immediately preceding sentence shall not have the effect of reducing the principal of any of the First Out Waterfall Loans, but rather shall eliminate the obligation to make any payment thereof on the First Amortization Date.   $0
Second Amortization Date   One-half (1/2) of the principal amount of all the First Out Waterfall Loans as of the Second Amortization Date after taking into account the PIK Interest Payments added to the principal of the First Out Waterfall Loans (including any prior cash payment of the PIK   One-half (1/2) of the principal amount of all the Last Out Waterfall Loans as of the Second Amortization Date after taking into account the PIK Interest Payments added to the principal of the Last Out Waterfall Loans

  Interest Payments on the First Out Waterfall Loans made as part of the Scheduled First Amortization Payment of First Out Waterfall Loans) on or before the Second Amortization Date (such payment of First Out Waterfall Loans, the “Scheduled Second Amortization Payment of First Out Waterfall Loans”)   on or before the Second Amortization Date
Maturity Date   All remaining outstanding principal amounts of the First Out Waterfall Loans as of the Maturity Date after taking into account the PIK Interest Payments added to the principal of the First Out Waterfall Loans on or before the Maturity Date (such payment of First Out Waterfall Loans, the “Maturity Date Payment of First Out Waterfall Loans”), or such lesser outstanding amount of the First Out Waterfall Loans, plus all other First Out Waterfall Obligations outstanding as of the Maturity Date (other than (y) unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and (z) those First Out Waterfall Obligations under any Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement that are not due or payable at the time when all other First Lien Waterfall Obligations are paid in full in cash)   All remaining outstanding principal amounts of the Last Out Waterfall Loans as of the Maturity Date after taking into account the PIK Interest Payments added to the principal of the Last Out Waterfall Loans on or before the Maturity Date, plus all other Last Out Waterfall Obligations outstanding as of the Maturity Date (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations)

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any First Out Waterfall Lender which is also a holder of Warrants may, at such First Out Waterfall Lender’s sole option, in accordance with Section 3(a)(iii) of the applicable Warrant, pay the Exercise Price (as defined in the applicable Warrant) by reducing the principal amount of such First Out Waterfall Lender’s First Out Waterfall Loans in an amount equal to such Exercise Price, which reduction shall be applied as set forth in Section 2.3(f). For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.3(b) is not applicable (and not available) to any Last Out Waterfall Notes or Last Out Waterfall Loans.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Loan Documents, outstanding principal amounts on the Loans shall not be permitted to be voluntarily prepaid, repaid, redeemed or paid prior to the First Amortization Date except as permitted by Section 5.3 or otherwise as set forth in this Section 2.3(c). If any principal on Loans is prepaid, repaid, redeemed or paid (A) prior to the First Amortization Date for any reason (such as an acceleration of the Loans following the occurrence of an Event of Default, an exercise of any Secured Party’s rights or remedies available under the Loan Documents, an exercise of any rights or remedies by ABL Agent, an ABL Lender or any other party to the ABL Debt Documents, upon the consummation of a Change of Control, pursuant to Section 5.3, by any optional prepayment or otherwise), other than pursuant to a Voluntary Conversion, Forced Conversion or Note Exchange or pursuant to Section 2.3(b), then the amount (in addition to the principal amount of the

 

51


Loans and any accrued and unpaid interest owed thereon) required to be prepaid, repaid, redeemed or paid shall be the Non-Callable Make Whole Amount applicable to the principal amount of Loans so prepaid, repaid, redeemed or paid (plus, if In Connection with a Change of Control, the CoC Fee) or (B) on or after the First Amortization Date but prior to the Maturity Date, In Connection with a Change of Control, then the amount (in addition to the principal amount of the Loans and any accrued and unpaid interest owed thereon) required to be prepaid, repaid, redeemed or paid shall be the CoC Fee. The Non-Callable Make Whole Amount (together with any applicable CoC Fee) shall be paid by the Borrower to the Lenders based on their Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of the Loans on the date of such prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in light of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages, the Non-Callable Make Whole Amount and any CoC Fee are intended to be a reasonable calculation of the actual damages that would be suffered by the Secured Parties as a result of any such prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the Non-Callable Make Whole Amount and the CoC Fee are not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrower for any such prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment. For the avoidance of doubt, other than as set forth above in clause (B) in the second sentence of this Section 2.3(c), prepayments of the Loans made on or after the First Amortization Date, in whole or in part, are permitted and may be made without premium or penalty.

(d) Each prepayment, repayment, redemption and payment by the Borrower or any Loan Party (and all proceeds of Collateral) shall be applied as follows:

(i) So long as no Application Event has occurred and in continuing, to (A)(1) all principal payments of the Loans shall be paid as set forth in Section 2.3(a) and (2) all other principal prepayments, repayments, redemptions and payments and all interest payments shall be paid by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties (and any such amounts received by Agent shall be apportioned) ratably to the Secured Parties (according to the unpaid principal balance of the principal and interest to which such payments relate held by each Secured Party), and (B) all payments of fees, expenses and other Obligations (that, for the avoidance of doubt, are not covered in clause (A) above) shall be paid by the Borrower and the other Loan Parties (and any such amounts received by Agent shall be apportioned), other than such fees, expenses or other Obligations that are, based on the express terms of the Loan Documents, for a Secured Party’s separate account, ratably to the Secured Parties having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Obligation to which such a particular fee, expense or other Obligation relates. All payments to be made hereunder by the Borrower or the other Loan Parties shall be remitted to the Lenders (other than amounts owed specifically to Agent or such other Secured Party) and all such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to the Lenders or received by Agent (or any other Secured Party), shall be applied, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing, to reduce the balance of the Loans and other Obligations outstanding.

(ii) At any time that an Application Event has occurred and is continuing, as follows: (i) first, to all fees, costs and expenses (including any attorneys’ fees) owed to Agent under the Loan Documents, (ii) second, ratably to all fees, costs and expenses (including any attorneys’ fees) owed to any First Out Waterfall Lender under the Loan Documents, (iii) third, ratably to accrued and unpaid interest owed to the First Out Waterfall Lenders under the Loan Documents, (iv) fourth, ratably to the principal amount of the Loans (including any Non-Callable Make Whole Amount, any CoC Fee and the Aggregate First Out Waterfall Restructuring Payments, if applicable) owed to the First Out Waterfall Lenders, (v) fifth, ratably to all other First Out Obligations (other than any First Out Obligations in respect of any Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement that are

 

52


not at such time owing, due or unpaid) owing to Agent or the other First Out Waterfall Secured Parties, and with respect to any such First Out Waterfall Obligations owed to Agent and the other First Out Waterfall Secured Parties, shall be allocated ratably among Agent and the other First Out Waterfall Secured Parties based on their pro rata shares of such other First Out Waterfall Obligations, (vi) sixth, ratably to all fees, costs and expenses (including any attorneys’ fees) owed to any Last Out Waterfall Lender under the Loan Documents, (vii) seventh, ratably to accrued and unpaid interest owed to the Last Out Waterfall Lenders under the Loan Documents, (viii) eighth, ratably to the principal amount of the Loans (including any Non-Callable Make Whole Amount and any CoC Fee, if applicable) owed to the Last Out Waterfall Lenders, and (ix) ninth, ratably, to all other Last Out Waterfall Obligations owing to any Last Out Waterfall Secured Party, and, with respect to any such Last Out Waterfall Obligations owed to the Last Out Waterfall Secured Parties, shall be allocated ratably among the Last Out Waterfall Secured Parties based on their pro rata shares of such other Last Out Waterfall Obligations. With respect to any prepayments, repayments, redemptions, payments or distributions in cash, property or other assets that any Last Out Waterfall Lender pays over to Agent or any First Out Waterfall Lender under the terms of this Agreement, such Last Out Waterfall Lender will be subrogated to the rights of First Out Waterfall Lenders; provided, that no Last Out Waterfall Lender may assert or enforce any such rights of subrogation it may acquire as a result of any prepayment, repayment, redemption, payment or distribution hereunder until all First Out Waterfall Obligations (other than (y) unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and (z) those First Out Waterfall Obligations under any Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement) have been paid in full in cash. Each Last Out Waterfall Lender agrees that any prepayments, repayments, redemptions, payments or distributions in respect of the Last Out Waterfall Obligations received by such Last Out Waterfall Lender in violation of this Agreement shall be as promptly as practicable paid over to Agent, for the benefit of the First Out Waterfall First Out Waterfall Lenders, in respect of the First Out Waterfall Obligations, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, to be applied in accordance with this Agreement, and each Last Out Waterfall Lender hereby authorizes Agent to make any such endorsements as agent for the Last Out Waterfall Lenders (which authorization, being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable).

(e) [Reserved].

(f) From and after the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, any Voluntary Conversion or Forced Conversion of principal under a First Out Waterfall Note by any First Out Waterfall Lender or payment by any First Out Waterfall Lender of the Exercise Price of any Warrant by reducing the principal amount of such First Out Waterfall Lender’s First Out Waterfall Loan in an amount equal to such Exercise Price, shall be applied against, and reduce, the principal amount of such First Out Waterfall Lender’s First Out Waterfall Loan on the same basis as the repayment of such principal amount in cash hereunder. Immediately upon any such reduction in the principal of any First Out Waterfall Lender’s First Out Waterfall Note or any reduction in the principal of any First Out Waterfall Lender’s First Out Waterfall Note, Borrower as a result of the payment of the Exercise Price of any Warrants as provided in Section 2.3(b) or any exchange pursuant to the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment, the Borrower shall provide written notice to such First Out Waterfall Lender of such reduction and of the reduced principal amount of such First Out Waterfall Note. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 2.3(f) is not applicable (and not available) to any Last Out Waterfall Notes or Last Out Waterfall Loans.

Section 2.4 Payment Details. All payments of the Obligations by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be paid in cash in Dollars. Payments of any amounts and other Obligations due to Agent or the Lenders under this

 

53


Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on such date that any such payment is due, using such wire information or address for Agent or such applicable Lender that is set forth on Schedule 2.4 or at such other bank or place as Agent or such applicable Lenders shall from time to time designate in a writing delivered to the Borrower at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date such payment is due. The Borrower shall pay all and any fees, costs and expenses (administrative or otherwise) imposed by banks, clearing houses or any other financial institutions in connection with making any payments under any of the Loan Documents.

Section 2.5 Taxes.

(a) Any and all payments (whether in cash or in shares of stock of the Borrower) on account of any Obligation of a Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case in this Section 2.5, for the avoidance of doubt, not including Obligations in respect of any Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement) shall be made, in accordance with this Section 2.5, free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any and all present or future Taxes except as required by Applicable Law. If any Loan Party shall be required by Applicable Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, (i) such Loan Party shall make such deduction or withholding, (ii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, and (iii) to the extent that the deduction or withholding is made on account of Indemnified Taxes, the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased by as much as shall be necessary so that after making the required deduction or withholding (including deductions or withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.5), each Lender shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made (any and all such additional amounts payable shall hereafter be referred to as the “Additional Amounts”). Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of such Taxes, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.

(b) In addition, the Loan Parties agree to pay and authorize each Lender to pay in their name, all Other Taxes. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Other Taxes by any Loan Party, the Borrower shall furnish to the applicable Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to such Lender.

(c) The Borrower shall reimburse and indemnify, within ten (10) days after receipt of demand therefor, each Lender for all Indemnified Taxes (including all Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.5(c)) paid or payable by such Lender, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. A certificate of the applicable Lender(s) setting forth the amounts to be paid thereunder and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding sentence, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth below in this Section 2.5(d)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s good faith judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing each Lender that is a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall, on or before

 

54


the date on which the Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, provide to Borrower and the Agent a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is not subject to backup withholding tax. Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (a “Foreign Lender”) and is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of U.S. federal withholding tax with respect to payments under this Agreement shall, on or before the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, provide Borrower and the Agent with a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY (with proper attachments) or other applicable forms or any other applicable certificate or document reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent and prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made and, if such Foreign Lender is relying on the portfolio interest exception of Section 871(h) or Section 881(c) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), shall also provide the Borrower with a certificate (the “Portfolio Interest Certificate”) representing that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” for purposes of Section 881(c) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), is not a 10% holder of the Borrower described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code (or any successor provision thereto), and is not a controlled foreign corporation receiving interest from a related person (within the meaning of Sections 881(c)(3)(C) and 864(d)(4) of the Code or any successor provisions thereto). If the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a Portfolio Interest Certificate on behalf of such partners. Each Lender shall provide new forms (or successor forms) as reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent from time to time and shall notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing within a reasonable time after becoming aware of any event requiring a change in the most recent forms previously delivered by such Lender to the Borrower or the Agent.

(e) If a payment to a Lender under this Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower, at the times prescribed by law or as reasonably requested by Borrower or the Agent, such documentation as is required in order for the Borrower or the Agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this Section 2.5(e), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Agreement Date.

(f) If a Lender determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.5 (including all Indemnified Taxes imposed on amounts payable under Section 2.5(c)), such Lender shall promptly pay such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section 2.5 with respect to the Taxes refunded) to the Borrower, net of all out-of-pocket expense (including any Taxes imposed thereon) of such Lender incurred in obtaining such refund or making such payment, provided that the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Lender if such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.5(f), in no event shall a Lender be required to pay any amount to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.5(f), the payment of which would place such Lender in a less favorable net after-Tax position than such Lender would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments with respect to such Tax had never been paid. Nothing in this Section 2.5(f) shall require any Lender to disclose any information it deems confidential (including its tax returns) to any Person, including the Borrower.

Section 2.6 Interest.

(a) From (and including) and after the Prior Agreement Date, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and any overdue interest shall bear interest at the Interest Rate (calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed in each month). From (and including) the Prior Agreement Date until (but not including) the Agreement Date, interest with respect to the Interest Rate shall be paid in cash to the Lenders quarterly in arrears for the preceding calendar quarter on the on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, whether by acceleration or otherwise, commencing on July 1, 2017 and on the first Business Day of each October, January, April and July thereafter through and including the calendar quarter commencing October 1, 2018. From (and including) and after the Agreement Date, interest with respect to the Cash Interest Rate (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any interest mentioned in the immediately preceding sentence) shall be paid in cash to the Lenders quarterly in arrears for the preceding calendar quarter on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter, whether by acceleration or otherwise, commencing on July 1, 2017 and on the first Business Day of each October, January, April and July thereafter, and on the maturity (and on any date of prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment of the principal) of the Loans (each, an “Interest Payment Date”); provided, however, that, in lieu of making any payment of interest in cash (but not in lieu of any PIK Interest Payment) on the Interest Payment Date of April 1, 2020 pursuant to this Section 2.6 (but not interest payable (x) on the maturity (or any date of prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment of the principal) of the Loans, (y) pursuant to Section 2.7 or (z) pursuant to the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment), such interest otherwise payable in cash shall be paid-in-kind by increasing the principal amount of the Loans by an amount equal to the interest that has accrued at the Cash Interest Rate during such period. From (and including) and after the Agreement Date, interest with respect to the PIK Interest Rate shall be paid in-kind on each Interest Payment Date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include any interest mentioned in the second sentence of this Section 2.6(a)) by increasing the principal amount of the Loans by an amount equal to the interest that has accrued at the PIK Interest Rate during such period (such payment, or any payment of interest in-kind pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, a “PIK Interest Payment”). Following an increase in the principal amount of the Loans as a result of a PIK Interest Payment, the Loans will bear interest at the Interest Rate on such increased principal amount from and after the date of such PIK Interest Payment and such increased principal amount shall constitute “Obligations”. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the first Interest Payment Date following the quarter in which the consummation of the Initial Note Exchange in accordance with the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment following the satisfaction of the Initial Note Exchange Condition has occurred (the “First Monthly Interest Payment Date”), “Interest Payment Date” shall mean, and interest shall be payable at the Cash Interest Rate and the PIK Interest Rate monthly in arrears on, the first Business Day of each calendar month and on the Maturity Date (and on any date of prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment of the principal) of the Loans; provided, however, that, commencing with the First Monthly Interest Payment Date and ending on (and including) the Interest Payment Date that is eighteen months thereafter, in lieu of making any payment of interest (whether cash or by a PIK Interest Payment) on an Interest Payment Date pursuant to this Section 2.6 (but not interest payable (x) on the maturity (or any date of prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment of the principal) of the Loans, (y) pursuant to Section 2.7 or (z) pursuant to the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment) and subject to the conditions set forth in Exhibit 2.6, the Borrower shall satisfy all of such payment by the issuance to the Lenders of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock that constitute Freely Tradeable Shares (as defined in Exhibit 2.6) in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit 2.6. For the avoidance of doubt, if any of the Share Issuance Conditions (as defined in Exhibit 2.6) is not satisfied as of the applicable Interest Payment Date or the issuance of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock in lieu of interest owed on such Interest Payment Date otherwise terminates in accordance with Section 5 of Exhibit 2.6, interest shall be paid on such Interest Payment Date in cash and pursuant to a PIK Interest Payment as provided above in this Section 2.6.

(c) All interest, fees and other amounts under each Loan Document shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 2.7 Yield Enhancement Payment; Default Interest; CoC Fee; Restructuring Payment.

(a) On the Prior Agreement Date, the Borrower paid in cash in Dollars to such First Out Waterfall Lender (as such First Out Waterfall Lender funding such First Out Waterfall Disbursement directed) a yield enhancement payment in the amount of two and twenty-fifths of one hundred percent (2.25%) of the principal amount of such First Out Waterfall Disbursement funded by such First Out Waterfall Lender on the Prior Agreement Date as consideration for providing such First Out Waterfall Disbursement, and such payment, at the sole option of the applicable Lender, was able to be deducted from such First Out Waterfall Disbursement. Such payment was fully earned when it was paid (or when it was deducted from such First Out Waterfall Disbursement) and is not and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(b) At the election (which upon such election, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, such additional interest rate shall retroactively apply to the first day of existence of such Event of Default) of Agent or the Required Lenders while any Event of Default exists (or automatically while any Event of Default under Section 5.4(a) or 5.4(d) exists), the Borrower shall pay interest (after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the extent permitted by Applicable Law) on the Obligations (other than Obligations under any Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement) and past due interest thereon, if any, from and after the date of occurrence of such Event of Default, at a rate per annum which is determined by adding (i) with respect to any Event of Default under Section 5.4(a), ten percent (10.0%) per annum to the Interest Rate then in effect for the Loans and (ii) with respect to any other Event of Default, two percent (2%) per annum to the Interest Rate then in effect for the Loans. Such additional interest shall be payable in cash on demand.

(c) Upon prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment of any principal of the Loans at any time (including, for the avoidance of doubt, before, after and on the date of the First Amortization Date but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, Loans paid in full on the Maturity Date) In Connection with a Change of Control, Borrower shall pay to the Secured Parties the CoC Fee (in addition to any principal Obligations required to be paid pursuant to Section 5.3 and any applicable Non-Callable Make Whole Amount due pursuant to Section 2.3(c)) based on their Pro Rata Share of the principal of the Loans on the date of such prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment of such Loans; provided, however that if such prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment is In Connection with a Change of Control but prior to the consummation of the Change of Control, the CoC Fee shall be due and payable contemporaneously with the consummation of a Change of Control. The CoC Fee shall be non-refundable upon receiving payment thereof. The Parties acknowledge and agree that, in light of the impracticality and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages occurring In Connection with a Change of Control, the CoC Fee is intended to be a reasonable calculation of the actual damages that would be suffered by the Secured Parties as a result of any such prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that the CoC Fee is not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrower for any such prepayment, repayment, redemption or payment.

The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Aggregate First Out Waterfall Restructuring Payments set forth in this Section 2.7(d) are not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrower or any other Loan Party for any such payment, repayment, redemption or prepayment (or the requirement for such payment, repayment, redemption or prepayment to be due, payable or made).

The Loan Parties’ obligation to pay the Last Out Waterfall Restructuring Payment will not be subject to any counterclaim or setoff for, or be otherwise affected by, any claim or dispute any Loan Party may have.    The payment of the Last Out Waterfall Restructuring Payment shall be made without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any national, state or local taxing authority, or will be grossed up by the Loan Parties for such amounts. The Last Out Waterfall Restructuring Payment shall be paid immediately without further action or notice by the Loan Parties in cash to the Last Out Waterfall Lenders (based on their Last Out Waterfall Pro Rata Share of such Last Out Waterfall Loans) upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date when the remaining Last Out Waterfall Loans outstanding are due, payable, paid, repaid, redeemed or prepaid (in each case, whether before, at the time of or after the Maturity Date or any acceleration, the filing of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy petition, insolvency or otherwise), in an amount that causes (or such lesser amount of

As of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, no material Tax Return is under audit or examination by any Governmental Authority, and no Tax Affiliate has received written notice from any Governmental Authority of any audit or examination or any assertion of any claim for material Taxes. To the extent material, proper and accurate amounts have been withheld by each Tax Affiliate from their respective employees for all periods in full and complete compliance with the Tax, social security and unemployment withholding provisions of Applicable Law and such withholdings have been timely paid to the respective Governmental Authorities. No Tax Affiliate has participated in a “listed transaction” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4(b)(2) or

 

63

(q) [Reserved].

(r) Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect after the Prior Agreement Date or the Agreement Date, each Loan Party: (i) at all times has complied with all Applicable Laws; (ii) has not received any warning letter or other correspondence or notice from the any Governmental Authority alleging or asserting noncompliance with any Applicable Laws or any Authorizations; (iii) possesses and complies with the Authorizations, which are valid and in full force and effect; (iv) has not received written notice that any Governmental Authority has taken, is taking or intends to take action to limit, suspend, cancel, withdraw, modify or revoke any Authorization and has no knowledge that any Governmental Authority is considering such action; and (v) has filed, obtained, maintained or submitted all reports, documents, forms, notices, applications, records, claims, submissions, renewals and supplements or amendments as required by any Applicable Laws or Authorizations.

(s) The Borrower has filed all of the SEC Documents, within the time frames prescribed by the SEC for the filing of such SEC Documents such that each filing was timely filed with the SEC. The Borrower filed and made publicly available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (including any successor thereto, “EDGAR”) on or prior to the date this representation is made, true, correct and complete copies of the SEC Documents. As of their respective dates, each of the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and/or the Exchange Act (as applicable) applicable to the SEC Documents. None of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. Since the filing of the SEC Documents, no event has occurred that would require an amendment or supplement to any of the SEC Documents and as to which such an amendment or a supplement has not been filed and made publicly available on EDGAR (and true, correct and complete copies of such amendment or supplement, if any, have been delivered to the Secured Parties or their respective representatives) on or prior to the date this representation is made. The Borrower has not received any written comments from the SEC staff that have not been resolved, to the knowledge of the Borrower, to the satisfaction of the SEC staff.

(t) As of their respective dates, the consolidated financial statements of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries included in the SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments and lack of footnote disclosures), and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders equity for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and lack of footnote disclosures). The accounting firm that expressed its opinion with respect to the consolidated financial statements included in the Borrower’s most recently filed annual report on 10-K, and reviewed the consolidated financial statements included in the Borrower’s most recently filed quarterly report on 10-Q, was independent of the Borrower pursuant to the standards set forth in Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and as required by the applicable rules and guidance from the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and such firm was otherwise qualified to render such opinion under Applicable Law and the rules and regulations of the SEC. There is no transaction, arrangement or other relationship between the Borrower (or any of its Subsidiaries) and an unconsolidated or other off-balance-sheet Person that is

 

64


required to be disclosed by the Borrower in the SEC Documents that has not been so disclosed in the SEC Documents. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is required to file or will be required to file any agreement, note, lease, mortgage, deed or other instrument entered into prior to the date this representation is made and to which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries is bound that has not been previously filed as an exhibit (including by way of incorporation by reference) to the Borrower’s reports filed or made with the SEC under the Exchange Act. Other than (i) the liabilities assumed or created pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any fees and expenses in connection therewith, (ii) liabilities accrued for in the latest balance sheet included in the Borrower’s most recent periodic report (on 10-Q or 10-K) filed prior to the Prior Agreement Date (the date of such balance sheet, the “Latest Balance Sheet Date”), (iii) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice since the later of the (A) Prior Agreement Date and (B) the Latest Balance Sheet Date and (iv) liabilities set forth on the Schedules to this Agreement, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries do not have any other material liabilities (whether fixed or unfixed, known or unknown, absolute or contingent, asserted or unasserted, choate or inchoate, liquidated or unliquidated, or secured or unsecured, and regardless of when any action, claim, suit or proceeding with respect thereto is instituted). Since December 31, 2016, there has been no Material Adverse Effect or any event or circumstance which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect. All financial performance projections delivered to any Secured Party, including the financial performance projections delivered on or prior to the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, if any, represent the Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ good faith estimate of future financial performance and are based on assumptions believed by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to be fair and reasonable in light of current market conditions, it being acknowledged and agreed by Agent and the Lenders that projections as to future events are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may differ from the projected results and such differences may be material.

(u) The Borrower and its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset and liability accountability, (iii) access to assets or incurrence of liability is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets and liabilities is compared with the existing assets and liabilities at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences (such internal accounting controls (including clauses (i) – (iv) above), collectively, “Internal Controls”). The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have timely filed and made publicly available on EDGAR all certifications, statements and documents required by Rule 13a-14 or Rule 15d-14 under the Exchange Act. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries maintain disclosure controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act; such controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in the reports that they file with or submit to the SEC (A) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported accurately within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (B) is accumulated and communicated to the Borrower’s (and, to the extent applicable, its Subsidiaries’) management, including its or their principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries maintain internal control (including Internal Controls) over financial reporting required by Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 under the Exchange Act; such internal control (including Internal Controls) over financial reporting is effective and does not contain any material weaknesses.

(v) [Reserved].

(w) (i) No Loan Party has engaged, and to the knowledge of the Loan Parties, no other Person has engaged in any “prohibited transaction” as defined under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975

(x) As of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower’s Subsidiaries are set forth in Schedule 3.1(x) and the information set forth in Schedule 3.1(x) is true, correct and complete.

(y) Subsequent to December 31, 2015, the Borrower has not declared or paid any dividends or made any distribution of any kind with respect to its Stock, except as permitted hereunder.

(z) (A) All of the issued and outstanding shares of Stock of the Borrower are duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, have been issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state and foreign securities laws, were not issued in violation of or subject to any preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or purchase securities that have not been waived in writing. The Reverse Split was duly adopted and approved by the board of directors and stockholders of the Borrower, and was duly effected on March 5, 2019 by the filing with the Secretary of State of Delaware of a certificate of amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, of the Borrower. The Borrower has reserved for issuance the maximum of [______] shares (giving effect to the Reverse Split) of Common Stock issuable as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date upon Conversion of the First Out Waterfall Notes, including upon conversion of shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock issuable upon Forced Conversions and Voluntary Conversions, [_______] shares of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock for issuance upon Forced Conversions and, at the election of the Lenders, Voluntary Conversions (such shares of Common Stock and Series DF-1 Preferred Stock, collectively, the “Conversion Shares”) (computed without regard to any limitations on the number of shares that may be issued on conversion thereof). The Borrower has reserved for issuance an aggregate number of shares of Common Stock (647,000 shares for the Amended and Restated Initial Warrants, and 875,000 shares for the Amended and Restated Additional Warrants) sufficient to cover all shares initially issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) (computed without regard to any limitations on the number of shares that may be issued on exercise thereof). The Conversion Shares, the Interest Payment Shares, the Warrants, the Warrant Shares and any other distributions required to be made now or in the future pursuant to the Warrants (the “Warrant Distributions”) have been duly authorized. Upon issuance of the Amended and Restated Initial Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the holders of the Amended and Restated Initial Warrants will be entitled to the rights set forth in the Amended and Restated Initial Warrants. Upon issuance of the Amended and Restated Additional Warrants in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the holders of the Amended and Restated Additional Warrants are entitled to the rights set forth in the Amended and Restated Initial Warrants.

Upon issuance in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (including Exhibit 2.6), the Interest Payment Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes and Liens with respect to the issue thereof, with the holders thereof being entitled to all rights accorded to a holder of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock. (B) The issuance by the Borrower of the Securities is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. For purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act, (I) the holding period for each of the Warrants, the First Out Waterfall Loans, the First Out Waterfall Notes and any shares of Common Stock issued upon Conversion of any of the First Out Waterfall Notes or upon exercise of any of the Warrants pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, Cashless Major Exercise, Cashless Default Exercise or Note Exchange Exercise (each as defined in the Warrants) shall be deemed to have commenced on the Prior Agreement Date, and (II) the holding period for each of the Last Out Waterfall Loans and the Last Out Waterfall Notes (together with the related guaranties set forth in the Security Agreement of the Guarantors) shall be deemed to have commenced on November 2, 2015 (the date the Exchanged Deerfield Convertible Notes were original issued). Provided that a First Out Waterfall Lender is not an Affiliate of the Borrower on the date of issuance of any exercise of any of the Warrants by such First Out Waterfall Lender pursuant to a Cashless Exercise, Cashless Major Exercise, Cashless Default Exercise or Note Exchange Exercise and has not been an Affiliate of the Borrower within the three-month period immediately preceding such date (which the Borrower shall assume unless advised otherwise in writing by such First Out Waterfall Lender), the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares (as applicable) issued to such First Out Waterfall Lender will be freely transferable, without restriction or limitation (including any volume limitation or current public information requirement) under Federal or state securities laws, pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, and will not contain or be subject to a legend or stop transfer order restricting the resale or transferability of thereof.

(D) The issuance and delivery of the First Out Waterfall Notes and the Warrants does not and, assuming full exercise of the Warrants and full Conversion of the First Out Waterfall Notes, the exercise of the Warrants, the Conversion of the First Out Waterfall Notes and the issuance of the Warrant Shares and the Conversion Shares will not: (i) require approval from any Governmental Authority; (ii) obligate the Borrower to issue shares of Common Stock or other securities to any Person (other than the Secured Parties); and (iii) will not result in a right of any holder of the Borrower’s securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price under and will not result in any other adjustments (automatic or otherwise) under, any securities of the Borrower. (E) The Borrower has furnished to Agent and each Lender true, correct and complete copies of each Loan Party’s Organizational Documents and any amendments, restatements, supplements or modifications thereto, and all documents, agreements and instruments containing the terms of all securities and Stock convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock or other Stock of any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries, and the material rights of the holders thereof in respect thereto.

(aa) Except for the Operative Documents, the Convertible Note Documents and the agreements set forth on Schedule 3.1(aa), as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date there are no Material Contracts.

(pp) The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, and neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken, or will take, any action designed to terminate, or which to the knowledge of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries is likely to have the effect of terminating, the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act, nor has the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries received any notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of any of the rules, regulations or requirements of the Principal Market (other than the Borrower’s violation of the Principal Market’s minimum bid price requirement, which has been cured on or around March 20, 2019), and, to the knowledge of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, there are no facts or circumstances (other than the Borrower’s violation of the Principal Market’s minimum bid price requirement, which has been cured on or around March 20, 2019) that could reasonably lead to suspension or termination of trading of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. For not less than the five years preceding the Agreement Date, the Second Amendment Date, the Second Amendment Effective Date and the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, (i) the Common Stock has been listed or designated for quotation, as applicable, on the Principal Market, (ii) trading in the Common Stock has not been suspended or deregistered by the SEC or the Principal Market, and (iii) neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any communication, written or oral, from the SEC or the Principal

 

71


Market regarding the suspension or termination of trading of the Common Stock on the Principal Market (other than in respect of the Borrower’s violation of the Principal Market’s minimum bid price requirement, which has been cured on or around March 20, 2019).

(qq) The Common Stock is eligible for clearing through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), through its Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system, and the Borrower is eligible for and participating in the Direct Registration System (DRS) of DTC with respect to the Common Stock. The transfer agent for the Common Stock is a participant in, and the Common Stock is eligible for transfer pursuant to, DTC’s Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program. The Common Stock is not, and has not at any time been, subject to any DTC “chill,” “freeze” or similar restriction with respect to any DTC services, including the clearing of transactions in shares of Common Stock through DTC.

(rr) The Borrower and the Borrower’s board of directors (or equivalent governing body) have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Borrower’s Organizational Documents or the laws of the State of Delaware that is or could become applicable to any of the Secured Parties as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the Borrower’s fulfilling its obligations with respect thereto, including the Borrower’s issuance of the Securities and any Secured Party’s ownership of the Securities. As of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower has not adopted a stockholders rights plan (or “poison pill”) or similar arrangement relating to accumulations of beneficial ownership of Common Stock or a change in control of the Borrower (any such plan or arrangement, a “Rights Plan”), and after the Prior Agreement Date, the Borrower will not have adopted any Rights Plan that in any way interferes with, or otherwise adversely affects, any First Out Waterfall Lender’s (or other holder’s) exercise in full of its rights under the Warrants and the First Out Waterfall Notes or ownership of all of the Warrant Shares and the Conversion Shares or that otherwise affects or applies to any First Out Waterfall Lender (or such other holder of Warrants or Warrant Shares) in any respect that is less favorable than its effect on the most favorably treated holder of Stock of the Borrower under such Rights Plan.

(ss) It is understood and acknowledged by the Borrower that none of the Secured Parties nor holders of the Securities has been asked to agree, nor has any Secured Party agreed, to desist from purchasing or selling, long and/or short, Stock or other securities of the Borrower, or “derivative” securities or Stock based on Stock or other securities issued by the Borrower or to hold the Securities for any specified term; and no Secured Party nor holder of Securities shall be deemed to have any affiliation with or control over any arm’s length counterparty in any “derivative” transaction. The Borrower further understands and acknowledges that (i) one or more Secured Parties or holders of Securities may engage in hedging and/or trading activities at various times during the period that the Securities are outstanding, and (ii) such hedging and/or trading activities, if any, can reduce the value of the Stock held by the existing holders of Stock of the Borrower, both at and after the time the hedging and/or trading activities are being conducted. The Borrower acknowledges that any such hedging and/or trading activities do not constitute a breach of any Loan Document or affect the rights of any Secured Party or holder of Securities under any Loan Document. The Borrower further acknowledges that its obligations under the Loan Documents, including its obligation to issue the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants and the Conversion Shares upon Conversion of the First Out Waterfall Notes are unconditional and absolute and not subject to any right of set off, counterclaim, delay or reduction, regardless of any claim any Loan Party may have against any of the Secured Parties and regardless of the dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership of the other stockholders of the Borrower.

(tt) The Borrower and the other Loan Parties are solely and jointly and severally responsible for the payment of any fees, costs, expenses and commissions of any placement agent, broker or financial adviser relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. The

 

72


Borrower and the other Loan Parties will pay, and hold each of the Secured Parties harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) arising in connection with any claim for any such payment, other than those arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Agent or any Lender as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(uu) Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries has made all notifications, submissions, and reports required by the FDA, any other Governmental Authority or any Healthcare Law, and all such notifications, submissions and reports were true, complete, and correct in all respects as of the date of submission to FDA, any other Governmental Authority or to such other Person required by any Healthcare Law. There has not been any violation of any Healthcare Laws by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries in its product development efforts, submissions, record keeping and reports to the FDA or any other Governmental Authority that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, there are no civil or criminal proceedings relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any officer, director or employee of any Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party that involve a matter within or related to the FDA’s or any other Governmental Authority’s jurisdiction or any off-label promotion or allegations of non-compliance with Healthcare Laws. Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, no Loan Party nor any Affiliate thereof has received any notice (written or oral) from the FDA or any other Governmental Authority that has not been finally and fully resolved in accordance and compliance with Applicable Law and all FDA and other Governmental Authority standards, regulations and requirements regarding any Product or regarding (i) any actions or inactions of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any officer, director or employee of any Loan Party or Subsidiaries of any Loan Party, including with respect to any off-label promotion or (ii) alleging non-compliance with Healthcare Laws.

(vv) With respect to any Product, (i) the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries have received, and such Product is the subject of, all Regulatory Required Permits needed in connection with the design, testing, manufacture, processing, assembly, packaging, labeling, marketing, distribution, commercialization, import, export or sale of such Product as currently being conducted by or on behalf of such Loan Parties or Subsidiaries, except where the failure to have such Regulatory Required Permits would not have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) such Product is being designed, tested, manufactured, processed, assembled, packaged, labeled, marketed, distributed, commercialized, imported, exported or sold, as the case may be, except as would not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, in compliance with all Applicable Laws and Authorizations.

(ww) None of the Loan Parties are in violation of any Healthcare Laws, except where any such violation would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

(xx) Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, each Loan Party and its Subsidiaries is in compliance with the written procedures, record-keeping and reporting requirements required by (or of) (i) the FDA or any comparable Governmental Authority pertaining to the reporting of adverse events involving the Products or concerning the actions or inactions of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and the directors, officers and employees of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, including with respect to off-label promotion, as applicable, and (ii) Healthcare Laws.

(yy) No Loan Party is a participating provider under contract to provide health care services and receive payment or reimbursement for such services under any Third Party Payor Program.

 

73

Regulation 46191 (September 10, 1991).

(aaa) No Loan Party has received any written notice that any Governmental Authority, including the FDA, the Office of the Inspector General of the United States Department of Health and Human Services or the United States Department of Justice has commenced or threatened to initiate any investigation or action against a Loan Party, any action to enjoin a Loan Party, or any of its officers, directors, employees, equityholders, agents or Affiliates, from conducting their businesses at any facility owned or used by them or for any civil penalty, injunction, seizure or criminal action, in each case, which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(bbb) No Loan Party has received from the FDA a Warning Letter, Form FDA-483, “Untitled Letter,” other correspondence or notice setting forth allegedly objectionable observations or alleged violations of laws or regulations enforced by the FDA, or any comparable correspondence from any state or local authority responsible for regulating drug or device products and establishments, or any comparable correspondence from any foreign counterpart of the FDA, or any comparable correspondence from any foreign counterpart of any state or local authority with regard to any Product or the manufacture, processing, packing, or holding thereof, in each case, which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(ccc) None of the Loan Parties has engaged in any material Recalls, Market Withdrawals or other forms of product retrieval from the marketplace of any Products that has been not been finally and fully completed prior to the Agreement Date in accordance and compliance with Applicable Law and all FDA and other Governmental Authority standards, regulations and requirements, except to the extent any such engagement or action could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(fff) The Loan Parties have not received any notice, and are not aware, of any violation of applicable antitrust laws, employment or landlord-tenant laws of any federal, state or local government or quasi-governmental body, agency, board or other authority with respect to the Loan Parties that could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(ggg) None of the proceeds from the Loans have been or will be used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock, for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or for any other purpose which might cause any of the Loans to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Federal Reserve Board. No Loan Party nor any of their Subsidiaries is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.

(hhh) None of the written information (financial or otherwise) (other than projections, other forward-looking information and industry information) furnished by or on behalf of any Loan Party to Agent or any Lender in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made.

75


until the later of (a)(i) all of the Obligations are repaid in full and (ii) all of the Warrants have expired or been terminated and (b) the end of the Reporting Period.

Section 3.3 Representations and Warranties of the Lenders. Each Lender, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Borrower as of the Agreement Date that:

(b) Such Lender is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

(c) Such Lender understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Borrower is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Lender’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Lender set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions.

(d) Such Lender and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities that have been requested by such Lender. Such Lender and its advisors, if any, have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Loan Parties. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Lender or its advisors, if any, or its representatives shall modify, amend or otherwise affect such Lender’s right to rely on the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries contained in Article 3 and elsewhere in the Loan Documents. Such Lender can bear the economic risk of a total loss of its investment in the Securities being offered and has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters so as to enable it to understand the risks of and investment decision with respect to its investment in the Securities.

(e) Such Lender understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or Governmental Authority has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

(f) Such Lender is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation.

(g) Each Loan Document to which such Lender is a party has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Lender and constitutes the valid and legally binding obligation of such Lender, enforceable against such Lender in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting

 

76


creditors’ rights generally, and (ii) applicable equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding at law or in equity).

(h) Such Lender has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under each of the Loan Documents to which such Lender is a party.

(i) Such Lender understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they were, or are being, acquired from the Borrower (or the Guarantors, as applicable) in a transaction not involving a public offering and that none of the Securities may be resold and/or hedged except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including Rule 144 under the Securities Act, Section 4(a)(7) of the Securities Act or a so-called “4[(a)] and a half” transaction (without limiting the representations and warranties of the Borrower set forth in Section 3.1(z)).

PARTICULAR COVENANTS AND EVENTS OF DEFAULT

Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants.

For so long as the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and other than those Obligations under any Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement; provided that Sections 5.1(h), (p), (s) and (aa) shall survive until the end of the Reporting Period) remain outstanding:

(a) The Loan Parties will and will cause their Subsidiaries to (i) preserve and maintain in full force and effect its organizational existence and good standing under the Applicable Laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation, organization or formation, as applicable, other than as permitted under Section 5.2(i), and (ii) preserve and maintain all qualifications to do business in each other jurisdiction not covered by clause (i) above that the failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) The Loan Parties will, and will cause their Subsidiaries to, (i) comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws, except where the necessity of compliance therewith is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or where failure to do so could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) maintain in effect and enforce policies and procedures designed to ensure compliance by the Loan Parties, their Subsidiaries and their respective directors, officers and employees with Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Money Laundering Laws and applicable Sanctions.

(c) The Loan Parties will, and will cause their Subsidiaries to, obtain, make and keep in full force and effect all licenses, certificates, approvals, registrations, clearances, Authorizations and

 

79


permits required to conduct their businesses, except where the failure to make and keep such licenses, certificates, approvals, registrations, clearances, authorizations and permits in full force and effect could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(d) Each Loan Party will, except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement, maintain, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to maintain, and preserve all its assets and property which is used or useful in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and will make all necessary repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof, except, in each case, where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(e) The Loan Parties will, and will cause each of their Subsidiaries to, maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies with respect to their assets, properties and business, against such hazards and liabilities, of such types and in such amounts, as is customarily maintained by companies in the same or similar businesses similarly situated. All property insurance policies covering the Collateral are to be made payable to Agent for the benefit of Agent and the Lenders, as their interests may appear, in case of loss, pursuant to a standard lender’s loss payable endorsement with a standard noncontributory “lender” or “secured party” clause and are to contain such other provisions as Agent may reasonably require to fully protect the Lenders’ interest in the Collateral and to any payments to be made under such policies. All certificates and endorsements of property and general liability insurance are to be delivered to Agent by the Loan Parties, with the lender’s loss payable (but only in respect of Collateral) and additional insured endorsements in favor of Agent and will provide for not less than 30 days (10 days in the case of non-payment) prior written notice to Agent of the exercise of any right of cancellation or any modification thereof; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Agent need not be named on any workers compensation or D&O policies. If Loan Parties or their Subsidiaries fail to maintain such insurance, Agent may arrange for such insurance, but at Loan Parties’ expense and without any responsibility on Agent’s part for obtaining the insurance, the solvency of the insurance companies, the adequacy of the coverage, or the collection of claims. The Loan Parties shall give Agent prompt written notice of any loss exceeding $500,000 covered by any Loan Party’s or any Loan Party’s Subsidiary’s casualty or business interruption insurance. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Agent shall have the sole right to file claims under any property and general liability insurance policies in respect of the Collateral, to receive, receipt and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies. A true and complete listing of such insurance, including issuers, coverages and deductibles, will be provided by the Loan Parties to Agent promptly following Agent’s request.

(f) Each Loan Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, pay, discharge and perform as the same shall become due and payable or required to be performed (i) all material Tax liabilities, assessments and governmental charges or levies upon it or its property, unless the same are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently prosecuted which stay the enforcement of any Lien and for which adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP are being maintained by such Person and (ii) all Tax liabilities, assessments and governmental chares or levies upon it or its property that would create, or otherwise cause to exist, a Lien with respect thereto that is not a Permitted Lien under clause (d) of the definition of “Permitted Liens.”

(g) The Loan Parties will promptly after knowledge (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days after knowledge) notify the Agent of the occurrence of (A) any Default or Event of Default and (B) so long as such type of notification would not be material nonpublic information of the Borrower, any claims (other than in connection with the denial of plan claims in the ordinary course of business),

 

80


litigation, arbitration, mediation or administrative or regulatory proceedings that are instituted or threatened against any Loan Party, or claims of infringement by any Person with respect to any Intellectual Property rights of a Loan Party, in each case of this clause (B), to the extent such claim, litigation, arbitration, mediation or administrative or regulatory proceeding could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(h) From the Prior Agreement Date until the later of (y) the first date on which no Warrants remain outstanding, and (z) the first date on which the Secured Parties no longer own any Securities (the period ending on such latest date, the “Reporting Period”), the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will (i) timely (without giving effect to any extensions pursuant to Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act) file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act, and the Borrower and its Subsidiaries will not terminate the registration of the Common Stock under the Exchange Act or otherwise terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act, even if the securities laws would otherwise permit any such termination and (ii) deliver to Agent a Compliance Certificate with each of its 10-Q and 10-K filings on the date such filings are made (or, if earlier, are required by the SEC to be made) with the SEC; provided that, with respect to clause (ii) only, solely to the extent any earnings or revenue report for the same period is publicly reported or is filed with the SEC prior to the time when any 10-Q or 10-K containing the applicable quarterly or annual financial statements is filed with the SEC and to the extent the earnings or revenue set forth in any such earnings or revenue report would result in a financial covenant default under Section 5.2(xxv), the Compliance Certificate shall instead be delivered by the Loan Parties to the Agent and the Lenders on the same day as such earnings or revenue report is publicly reported or is filed with the SEC. Each of such reports in Section 5.1(h)(i) above will comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and each of such reports in Section 5.1(h)(i) above and such Compliance Certificate will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The consolidated financial statements included in such reports will comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, will be prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently applied (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments and lack of footnote disclosures), and will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations, cash flows and changes in stockholders equity for the periods presented (subject, in the case of unaudited quarterly financial statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments and lack of footnote disclosures). The Borrower hereby agrees that, during the Reporting Period, the Borrower will send to each Secured Party copies of (A) any notices and other information made available or given to the holders of the Stock of the Borrower generally, contemporaneously with the Borrower’s making available or giving such notices and other information to such holders of Stock (it being understood and agreed that delivery will be deemed to have occurred if such notices or other information is posted to EDGAR) and (B) all other documents, reports, financial data and other information not available on EDGAR that does not contain any material nonpublic information of the Borrower, that any Secured Party may reasonably request.

(i) Each Loan Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, with respect to each owned, leased or controlled property, at all times and without notice, at the sole option of Agent or any Lender: (a) provide access to such property to Agent, the Lenders and their respective representatives and agents, as frequently as Agent or any Lender determines to be appropriate; and (b) permit Agent or any Lender to conduct field examinations, appraise, inspect, and make extracts and copies (or take originals if reasonably necessary) from all of such Loan Party’s and its Subsidiaries’ books and records, and evaluate and conduct appraisals and evaluations in any manner and through any medium that Agent or any Lender considers advisable, in each instance, at the Loan Parties’ sole expense. Any Lender may accompany Agent or its representatives in connection with such inspection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Loan Parties

 

81


will (and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to) comply with (and coordinate with Agent and the Lenders and their representatives and agents to make sure of compliance with) Section 5.1(q) in connection with any such inspection, examination, audit or analysis.

(j) Each Loan Party will ensure that all written information, exhibits and reports furnished to any Secured Party, when taken as a whole, do not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and do not and will not omit to state any material fact or any fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances in which made, and will promptly disclose, after knowledge of any defect of a material fact, untrue statement of material fact, material misstatement or error of a material fact, to Agent and the Lenders and correct any such defect, untrue statement of material fact, material misstatement or error of a material fact that has been discovered therein or in any Loan Document or in the execution, acknowledgement or recordation thereof; it being acknowledged and agreed that any projections provided to the Secured Parties are not to be viewed as facts, are not a guarantee of financial performance, and are subject to uncertainties and contingencies.

(k) Each Loan Party will enter into, and cause each depository, securities intermediary or commodities intermediary to enter into, Control Agreements with respect to each deposit, securities, commodity or similar account maintained by such Person (other than (i) deposit accounts exclusively used for payroll, payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments to or for the benefit of the Borrower’s employees and identified to Agent by the Borrower as such, (ii) zero balance accounts; provided that such accounts have been identified to Agent by the Borrower as such, (iii) such other petty cash deposit accounts, amounts on deposit in which do not exceed $100,000 in the aggregate at any one time, (iv) escrow, trust and fiduciary accounts, (v) each account of Excluded Foreign Subsidiaries, (vi) deposit account #XXXXX7912 of TriVascular Canada LLC at Bank of Montreal; provided the aggregate amount on deposit in such deposit account(s) does not exceed 1,000,000 Canadian dollars at any time, (vii) the Bank of America Cash Collateral Account and (viii) account number XXXX1317 of the Borrower (the “Stifel Account”) maintained at Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated (“Stifel”) while, and only so long as (and for the avoidance of doubt, not at any other time shall the Stifel Account be an Excluded Account), (a) all funds, amounts or other items on deposit in the Stifel Account are swept by Stifel every Business Day (1) pursuant to the terms of the Permanent Letter of Authorization for Wires With Further Credit, signed by the Borrower (as the account owner) as of August 15, 2018 (as in effect on November 20, 2018, the “Stifel Sweep Agreement”), and (2) by wiring the funds, amounts and other items in the Stifel Account to deposit account number XXXXXX1702 at Bank of America, N.A., in each case of this clause (a), unless Agent and ABL Agent consent otherwise in writing (including by electronic mail), (b) the deposit account to which the funds, amounts and other items from the Stifel Account are swept is subject to a Control Agreement at all times, (c) subject to clause (e) below, no more than $5,000,000 of cash, Cash Equivalents, other assets and/or other items are in the Stifel Account at any time, (d) neither the wire instructions nor any other term or provision in the Stifel Sweep Agreement is amended, restated, supplemented, modified, waived or otherwise changed (or any departure therefrom consented to) without the prior written consent of Agent and ABL Agent (and the Borrower shall immediately modify the Stifel Sweep Agreement, including the wire instructions therein, in such manner as Agent and ABL Agent may request while an Event of Default exists), (e) (x) upon and during the continuance of an Event of Default, (1) the Stifel Account is not used (including no cash, Cash Equivalents, other assets or other items being held in such Stifel Account other than those being swept pursuant to clause (a) above on the Business Day immediately after the first day such Event of Default occurs), (2) the Borrower will take no action with Stifel with respect to the Stifel Account or otherwise (other than having Stifel sweep the Stifel Account pursuant to clause (a) above) and (3) no cash or other items shall be kept or maintained in the Stifel Account or otherwise held by Stifel, and (y) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Borrower immediately closes the Stifel Account upon request by Agent, and (f) (x) the Borrower provides quarterly certifications of compliance with the conditions and requirements in this Section 5.1(k)(viii)(a)-(e), and (y) by 5pm ET on the Tuesday of the week following delivery of each such quarterly certification in clause (f)(x) directly above, the

 

82

Upon written request by the Agent, the Loan Parties will provide Agent with written evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Agent as of such Business Day or the next Business Day showing compliance with Section 5.2(xxiv).

(l) Promptly upon request by Agent, the Loan Parties will (and, subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, will cause each of their Subsidiaries to) take such additional actions and execute such documents as Agent may reasonably require from time to time in order (i) to carry out more effectively the purposes of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) to subject to the Liens created by any of the Loan Documents any of the assets or properties, rights or interests covered by any of the Loan Documents, (iii) to perfect and maintain the validity, effectiveness and priority of any of the Loan Documents and the Liens intended to be created thereby, and (iv) to better assure, grant, preserve, protect and confirm to the Secured Parties the rights granted or now or hereafter intended to be granted to the Secured Parties under any Loan Document. The Loan Parties will notify Agent in writing prior to (and on) (x) the date of formation or acquisition of any Subsidiary and (y) any division or split of any Loan Party into two or more Subsidiaries, limited liability companies, other entities or other Persons. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Loan Parties will cause (y) each of their Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) promptly after (but, in any event, (A) within fifteen (15) days thereof for any Subsidiary that is not an Immaterial Subsidiary and (B) within thirty (30) days thereof for any Immaterial Subsidiary) the date of the formation or acquisition thereof (and any Subsidiaries, limited liability companies, other entities or other Persons for which any Loan Party divides or splits itself into), to guaranty the Obligations and to cause each such Subsidiary (and any such Subsidiary, limited liability company, other entity or other Person for which any Loan Party divides or splits itself into) to grant to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, subject to the limitations set forth herein and in the Loan Documents, all of such Subsidiary’s (and, with respect to any such division or split of a Loan Party, all such Subsidiary’s limited liability company’s, other entity’s or other Person’s) assets and property (including any assets or property allocated, distributed, conveyed or otherwise transferred pursuant to any division or split of any Loan Party into any Subsidiaries, limited liability companies, other entities or other Persons for which any Loan Party divides or splits itself into) to secure such guaranty and (z) any holder (that is a Loan Party) of the Stock of such Subsidiary to provide, promptly after (but, in any event, (A) within fifteen (15) days thereof for any Subsidiary that is not an Immaterial Subsidiary and (B) within thirty (30) days thereof for any Immaterial Subsidiary) the date of (x) the formation or acquisition of such Subsidiary or (y) any division or split of any Loan Party into two or more Subsidiaries, limited liability companies, other entities or other Persons, in each case, supplements and further pledges to the Loan Documents as are necessary (or requested by Agent) to evidence Agent’s Lien in the Stock of such Subsidiary.

83


Subsidiaries (other than Excluded Subsidiaries but including any Subsidiaries, limited liability companies, other entities or other Persons for which any such Loan Party divides or splits itself into), and sixty-five percent (65%) of the outstanding voting Stock and one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding non-voting Stock of each Excluded Foreign Subsidiary and each Excluded Domestic Holdco, directly owned by a Loan Party, in each instance, to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to secure the Obligations, promptly after formation or acquisition (or division or split) of such Subsidiary. The Loan Parties will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent, appropriate resolutions, secretary certificates, certified Organizational Documents and, if reasonably requested by Agent, legal opinions relating to the matters described in this Section 5.1(l) (which opinions will be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent and, to the extent applicable, substantially similar to the opinions delivered on the Prior Agreement Date and the Agreement Date), in each instance with respect to (1) each Loan Party or Subsidiary formed or acquired (and each Subsidiary, limited liability company, other entity or other Person for which a Loan Party divides or splits itself into), (2) each Loan Party or Person (other than a Loan Party) whose Stock is being pledged, and (3) the assets and property that are allocated, distributed, conveyed or otherwise transferred pursuant to any division or split of any Loan Party into any Subsidiaries, limited liability companies, other entities or other Persons for which any Loan Party divides or splits itself into, in each case of clauses (1) through (3), after the Prior Agreement Date. In connection with each pledge of Stock, the Loan Parties will deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Agent, irrevocable proxies and Stock powers and/or assignments, as applicable, duly executed in blank.

(m) Each Loan Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with, and maintain its Real Estate, whether owned, leased, subleased or otherwise operated or occupied, in compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws and Healthcare Laws or that is required by orders and directives of any Governmental Authority, except where the failure to comply could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(n) Promptly upon becoming aware that any of the following events has occurred, the Borrower will provide written notice to the Agent specifying the nature of such event, what action the Loan Party or any ERISA Affiliates has taken, is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto and, when known, if applicable, any action taken or threatened by the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Labor or the PBGC with respect thereto: (i) any ERISA Event which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) a “prohibited transaction” as defined under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code that is not exempt under ERISA Section 408 or Section 4975 of the Code, under any applicable regulations and published interpretations thereunder or under any applicable prohibited transaction, individual or class exemption issued by the Department of Labor, with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan, which could reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) the imposition of any Lien on any asset of a Loan Party or a Subsidiary of a Loan Party with respect to any Title IV Plan or Multiemployer Plan.

(o) The Borrower agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities as required under Regulation D and to provide a copy thereof to each Secured Party promptly after such filing. The Borrower will make all filings and reports relating to the offer and sale of the Securities required under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States following the Prior Agreement Date.

(p) The Borrower will take all actions necessary to cause the Common Stock to remain listed on the Principal Market during the Reporting Period. The Borrower will not, and will cause each of the Subsidiaries not to, take any action within its control that would be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension or termination of trading of the Common Stock on the Principal Market. The Loan Parties will pay all fees, costs and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 5.1(p). The Borrower shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the

 

84


purpose of issuance, a sufficient number of Common Shares to enable the Borrower to satisfy its obligations under the Warrants and the First Out Waterfall Notes (computed without regard to any limitations on the number of shares that may be issued on exercise or Conversion thereof).

(q) At or prior to 7:30 a.m. (New York City time) on the first (1st) Business Day following the Agreement Date, the Borrower will file a Form 8-K with the SEC describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the ABL Credit Facility and the ABL Debt Documents and including as exhibits to such Form 8-K this Agreement (including the schedules, annexes and exhibit forms hereto), the forms of Notes, the form of Additional Warrant, the Registration Rights Agreement, the other Loan Documents listed on Schedule 5.1(q) and the ABL Credit Facility and the ABL Debt Documents (such Form 8-K, the “Announcing Form 8-K”). Subject to the foregoing, no Loan Party will issue any press releases or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated by any Loan Document or disclosing the name of any Secured Party; provided, however, that the Borrower will be entitled, without the prior approval of any Secured Party, to make any press release or other public disclosure with respect to such transactions (i) in substantial conformity with the Announcing Form 8-K and contemporaneously therewith and (ii) as is required by Applicable Law and regulations (provided that each Secured Party will be consulted by the Borrower in connection with any such press release or other public disclosure prior to its release and will be provided with a copy thereof by the borrower other than filings required by the Exchange Act to be made with the SEC, which Borrower may make without such consultation or notice). From and after the Borrower’s filing of the Announcing Form 8-K, no Secured Party shall be in possession of any material nonpublic information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives or agents. Without limiting the foregoing, the Loan Parties represent and warrant that no Loan Document or other agreement, instrument, certificate, information or other document provided by any Loan Party or any of its Related Parties to any Secured Party on or about the Agreement Date that is not filed as an exhibit to the Announcing Form 8-K constitutes, or contains, reflects or references any information that constitutes, material nonpublic information with respect to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (except to the extent the same information is expressly set forth in the Announcing Form 8-K or an exhibit thereto). Notwithstanding any other requirement of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, each Loan Party will not, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries and Affiliates and its and each of their respective officers, directors, employees. Attorneys, representatives and agents to not, provide any Secured Party with any material nonpublic information regarding the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates from and after the filing of the Announcing Form 8-K with the SEC without the express prior written consent of such Secured Party. Each Loan Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that no Secured Party (nor any of such Secured Party’s Affiliates) shall have any duty of trust or confidence with respect to, or any obligation not to trade in any securities on the basis of, any material nonpublic information regarding the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (A) provided by, or on behalf of, the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys, representatives or agents, in breach or violation of any of the representations, covenants, provisions or agreements set forth in this Section 5.1(q) or (B) otherwise possessed (or continued to be possessed) by any Secured Party (or any Affiliate thereof) as a result of any breach or violation of any representation, covenant, provision or agreement set forth in this Section 5.1(q). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event that any Loan Party believes that a notice or communication to any Secured Party contains material, nonpublic information relating to any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective property or Stock, the Borrower will so indicate to the Secured Parties contemporaneously with delivery of such notice or communication, and such indication shall provide the Secured Parties the means to refuse to receive such notice or communication; and in the absence of any such indication, the holders of the Securities shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice or communication do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of their respective property or Stock. Upon receipt or delivery by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any notice in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents,

 

85


unless the Borrower has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or their respective property or Stock, the Loan Parties will, within one Business Day after any such receipt or delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information. In the event of a breach of any of the foregoing covenants by any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, attorneys, representatives or agents, in addition to any other remedies provided in the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity, the Secured Parties shall have the right to make a public disclosure in the form of a press release, public advertisement or otherwise, of the applicable material nonpublic information regarding the Borrower or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates without the prior approval by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, attorneys, representatives or agents, and no Secured Party shall have any liability to any Loan Party, any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors (or equivalent persons), employees, equityholders, attorneys, representatives or agents for any such disclosure.

(r) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Securities may be pledged by a holder thereof in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan, financing or Indebtedness secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities under the Loan Documents, and no such holder effecting any such pledge of Securities shall be required to provide any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to any Loan Party pursuant to any Loan Document. The Borrower hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a holder of Securities.

(s) During the Reporting Period, except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents, the Borrower will not in any manner issue or sell any Options or Convertible Securities that are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of Common Stock at a price that varies or may vary with the market price of the Common Stock, including by way of one or more resets to a fixed price or increases in the number of shares of Common Stock issued or issuable, or at a price that upon the passage of time or the occurrence of certain events automatically is reduced or is adjusted or at the option of any Person may be reduced or adjusted, whether or not based on a formulation of the then current market price of the Common Stock (other than proportional adjustments as a result of subdivisions or combinations of the Common Stock in the form of stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, combinations or recapitalizations). For the avoidance of doubt, this clause (s) does not prohibit any convertible notes contemplated under clause (k) of the definition of “Permitted Indebtedness” with a fixed conversion rate subject to anti-dilution adjustments or other provisions related to the conversion price and/or conversion rate that are broadly similar to the analogous provisions in the 3.25% Convertible Note Documents, the 5.00% Convertible Note Documents or any Permitted Convertible Note Refinancing permitted hereunder.

(t) Within five Business Days after the filing (or, to the extent earlier, the date filing is required by the SEC) of its 10-K or 10-Q with the SEC (and by each date that the financial statements are required to be delivered in Section 5.1(aa)), as the case may be, the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries will deliver to Agent an updated Perfection Certificate. Upon the reasonable request of any Secured Party, the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries will promptly deliver to such Secured Party such additional business, financial, corporate affairs, perfection certificates, items or documents related to creation, perfection or priority of Agent’s Liens in the Collateral and other information as any Secured Party may from time to time reasonably request.

(u) Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower will, and will cause each Loan Party to, (i) obtain all Regulatory Required Permits necessary for compliance in all respects with Applicable Laws with respect

 

86


to the design, testing, manufacturing, developing, processing, assembly, packaging, labeling, distribution, commercialization, import, export, selling or marketing of Products, and (ii) maintain and comply fully and completely in all respects with all such Regulatory Required Permits.

(v) Each Loan Party will comply, and cause each Subsidiary to comply, with the requirements of all Applicable Laws and Material Contracts, except to the extent that failure to so comply could not reasonably be expected to (a) individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) result in any Lien upon either (i) a material portion of the assets of any such Person in favor of any Governmental Authority, or (ii) any Collateral (other than Permitted Liens).

(w) The Borrower will, within two Business Days after delivery by a Loan Party or receipt or knowledge thereof, provide written notice to Agent of any default or event of default under any of the ABL Debt Documents, any of the Convertible Note Documents or any of the Permitted Japan Lifeline Unsecured Debt Documents, and of any amendments, restatements, supplements, waivers or other modifications to (or any consents to any events or actions under) any of the ABL Debt Documents, any of the Convertible Note Documents or any of the Permitted Japan Lifeline Unsecured Debt Documents or any prepayment of any of the Indebtedness thereunder.

(x) The Loan Parties will keep its Inventory and Equipment (other than Inventory or Equipment that is in-transit, Trunk Inventory or subject to consignment) only at the locations identified on Schedule 3.1(hh) and their chief executive offices only at the locations identified on Schedule 3.1(gg); provided that the Loan Parties may amend Schedule 3.1(hh) or Schedule 3.1(gg) so long as such amendment occurs by written notice to Agent not less than ten (10) days prior to the date on which such Inventory and Equipment is moved to such new location listed on the amended Schedule 3.1(hh) or such chief executive office is relocated to such address listed on the amended Schedule 3.1(gg) and so long as such new location or such chief executive office is within the continental United States.

(y) Each Loan Party will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with (A) in all respects with all Healthcare Laws and their implementation by any applicable Governmental Authority, except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (B) (1) in all respects with all lawful requests of any Governmental Authority applicable to its Products, except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, and (2) in all material respect with requests of any Governmental Authority applicable to its Products that is required by Applicable Law (or court order or proceeding) to be complied with. Except as could not reasonably be expected, individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, all Products developed, manufactured, tested, distributed, promoted or marketed by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries that are subject to the jurisdiction of the FDA or comparable Governmental Authority shall be (i) developed, tested, manufactured, distributed, promoted and marketed in compliance with the Healthcare Laws and each other Applicable Law, including Healthcare Laws and other Applicable Laws governing or relating to product approval or premarket notification, good manufacturing practices, promoting, labeling, advertising, record-keeping, and adverse event reporting, and (ii) tested, investigated, distributed, labeled, promoted, marketed, and sold in compliance with Healthcare Laws and all other Applicable Laws.

(z) Notwithstanding the conditions precedent set forth in Article 4 or any other provision set forth herein to the contrary above, the Loan Parties have informed the Agent that certain of such items required to be delivered to the Agent and/or the Lenders or otherwise satisfied as conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement will not be delivered to Agent and the Lenders as of the Agreement Date. Therefore, with respect to the items set forth in this Section 5.1(z) below (collectively, the “Outstanding Items”), the Loan Parties will, and the Loan Parties will cause their Subsidiaries to, deliver (or otherwise satisfy) each Outstanding Item to the satisfaction of the Agent in the form and manner set

Further, if the Borrower is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Loan Parties will provide to Agent and each Lender (A) quarterly financial statements for the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and a Compliance Certificate for such period within 45 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Borrower, and an audited annual financial statements and a Compliance Certificate for such period within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Borrower prepared in accordance with GAAP with a report thereon by the Borrower’s independent certified public accountants, which accountants shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent and (B) on the same day as delivery to ABL Agent, any ABL Lender or any other secured party under the ABL Debt Documents, any additional financial statements, certificates, reports, notices, agreements, instruments and documents provided under (or in connection with) the ABL Debt Documents.

Section 5.3 Change of Control.

(a) Lenders Put Option. The Borrower, on behalf of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, will give Agent written notice of a Change of Control at least fifteen (15) days prior to the consummation thereof but in any event not later than two (2) Business Days following the first public announcement thereof. Other than with respect to a Permitted Successor Transaction (in, which case, no such Put Notice may be delivered by the Lenders), the Lenders, within five (5) days after the receipt of such notice, in the exercise of their sole discretion, may deliver a notice to the Borrower (the “Put Notice”) that the Final Payment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable Non-Callable Make Whole Amount and the CoC Fee) shall be due and payable upon the consummation of such Change of Control, with no further action taken by any Person as of or after the date of such Put Notice. If the Lenders deliver a Put Notice, then simultaneously with consummation of such Change of Control (other than a Permitted Successor Transaction), the Borrower will make (or cause to be made) the Final Payment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable Non-Callable Make Whole Amount and the CoC Fee) to the Lenders as of the date of such Put Notice. In such case of a Put Notice delivered with respect to any Change of Control (other than a Permitted Successor Transaction), the Loan Parties will make arrangements satisfactory to the Agent, as determined by the Agent in its sole discretion, that the Final Payment will be paid in full to the Lenders, in each case, concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control (other than a Permitted Successor Transaction) (which arrangements may include obtaining a written

 

98


agreement from the acquiring Person, as applicable, that payment of the Final Payment will be made to the Lenders upon the consummation of such Change of Control (other than a Permitted Successor Transaction)). The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that, if the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries of Affiliates violate or breach any portion of this Section 5.3(a), the Secured Parties shall have the right to apply for an injunction in any state or federal courts sitting in the City of New York to prevent the consummation of such Change of Control, unless, if the Lenders have exercised their Put Right, arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Agent for the Final Payment (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any applicable Non-Callable Make Whole Amount and the CoC Fee) have been made (or, as applicable, paid) and, if the Lenders have not exercised their Put Right, arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Agent in respect of the Loans have been made. The Loan Parties will not, and will not permit any of their Subsidiaries to consummate any Change of Control (other than a Permitted Successor Transaction) without complying in all respects with the applicable provisions of this Section 5.3(a). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, for the avoidance of doubt, the Black-Scholes payments or exercises related to a “Major Transaction” (as defined in any Warrant) that are set forth in the Warrants are in addition to any Final Payment.

(b) Borrowers Prepayment Right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement and for the avoidance of doubt, Borrower shall be permitted to prepay the Loans and other Obligations (other than Obligations under the Warrant and the Registration Rights Agreement, the treatment of which are addressed separately in such agreements) so long as (i) to the extent any such prepayment is made prior to the First Amortization Date, the applicable Non-Callable Make Whole Amount on the Loans so prepaid is paid at the same time in accordance with Section 2.3(c) and (ii) if In Connection with a Change of Control, the CoC Fee is paid at the time set forth in Section 2.7(c).

Section 6.4 Governing Law; Venue; Jurisdiction; Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and, unless otherwise expressly stated therein, the other Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such State. Each Party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and, unless otherwise expressly stated therein, the other Loan Documents (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, Borough of Manhattan. Each Party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of New York, borough of Manhattan for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or in connection herewith or with the other Loan Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, or that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or is an inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each Party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such Party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice

 

107


thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. THE PARTIES HERETO, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVE ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO, THIS AGREEMENT, THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING WHETHER SOUNDING IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE. EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO OTHER PARTY AND NO AGENT, REPRESENTATIVE OR OTHER PERSON AFFILIATED WITH OR RELATED TO ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, AS APPLICABLE, BY THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6.4.

Section 6.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the respective successors and assigns of the Parties, except that no Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any part of their rights or obligations (including the Obligations) under the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders (other than in any Permitted Successor Transaction), and any prohibited assignment by the Loan Parties shall be absolutely void ab initio. Any Lender may assign or transfer its rights or Obligations under the Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee, so long as (a) with respect to any assignment to a Person mentioned in clause (d) of the definition of “Eligible Assignee”, the amount of such assignment is for Loans in an aggregate principal amount not less than $5,000,000 (or, if less, the entire remaining principal amount of Loans held by such Lender); provided that such threshold amount shall be aggregated between such Persons that are assignees mentioned in such clause (d) of the definition of “Eligible Assignee” that are Affiliates of each other. Upon a Lender’s assignment of any of the Loans held by it in accordance with this Section 6.5, such Lender shall provide notice of the transfer to Borrower (with a copy to Agent) for recordation in the Register pursuant to Section 1.4. Upon receipt of a notice of a permitted transfer of an interest in a Loan, the Borrower shall record the identity of the transferee and other relevant information in the Register and the transferee shall (to the extent of the interests transferred to such transferee) have all the rights and obligations of, and shall be deemed, a Lender with respect to such Loan hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no Lender shall assign or transfer, or provide any participation in, any of the Loans or other Obligations to any Loan Party or any of their Affiliates without the written consent of Agent. If a Lender sells participating interests in its Loans or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”), (i) such Lender’s obligations hereunder with respect to those sold to the Participant shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) the Borrower and Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations hereunder with respect to those sold to the Participant, and (iii) all amounts payable by the Borrower shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Lender.

In addition to the other rights provided in this Section 6.5, each Secured Party may grant a security interest in, or otherwise assign as collateral, any of its rights under the Loan Documents, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (including rights to payments of principal or interest on the Loans), to any holder of, or trustee for the benefit of the holders of, such Secured Party’s Indebtedness or equity securities; provided however that no such security interest or assignment shall release such Secured Party from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such holder of a security interest or assignee for such Secured Party as a party hereto.

 

108


Section 6.6 Entire Agreement; Amendments.

(a) The Loan Documents contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the matters covered thereby and supersede any and all other written and oral communications, negotiations, commitments and writings with respect thereto.

(b) No amendment, restatement, modification, supplement, change, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (other than the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement, any Control Agreement or any similar agreement or any landlord agreement or bailee or mortgagee waiver, each of which may be amended, restated, modified, supplemented, changed, terminated, waived or consented to in accordance with the terms thereof), and no consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Borrower, the Agent and the Required Lenders; provided that (1) no such amendment, restatement, modification, supplement, change, termination, waiver or consent to this Agreement shall, without the consent of each Lender with Obligations directly and adversely affected thereby, do any of the following: (i) reduce any Loan of such Lender; (ii) postpone the Maturity Date or other scheduled final maturity date of any Loan of such Lender, or postpone the date or reduce the amount of any scheduled payment (but not mandatory prepayment) of principal of any Loan of such Lender; (iii) decrease the interest rate borne by any Loan of such Lender (other than any waiver of any increase in the interest rate applicable to any of the Loans pursuant to Section 2.7(b)) or the amount of any premium or fees payable hereunder; (iv) amend this proviso of this Section 6.6(b) to the extent providing for consent by all directly and adversely affected Lenders in a manner to remove such consent; or (v) amend the definitions of “Required Lenders”, “Required First Out Waterfall Lenders” and “Required Last Out Waterfall Lenders”, (2) any amendment, restatement, supplement, change or other modification (or any waiver or agreement with respect) to the definitions of “Required Lenders”, “Required First Out Waterfall Lenders” or “Required Last Out Waterfall Lenders” or the proviso in this Section 6.6(b) may be conducted or agreed to with just the consent of each Lender and without the consent of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, and (3) any amendment, restatement, modification, change, supplement, change, termination, waiver or consent to this Agreement that (x) affects only the First Out Waterfall Lenders requires only the consent of the Required First Out Waterfall Lenders and (y) affects only the Last Out Waterfall Lenders requires only the consent of the Required Lenders.

(c) No consideration shall be offered or paid (in any form, whether cash, Stock, other property or otherwise) to any Secured Party to amend, restate, supplement, modify or change or consent to a waiver of (or a diversion from) any provision of any of the Loan Documents unless the same consideration also is offered to all of the Lenders under the Loan Documents. For clarification purposes, this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Lender and is not intended for the Borrower or any other Loan Party to treat the Lenders as a class and shall not be construed in any way as the Lenders acting in concert or otherwise as a group with respect to the purchase, disposition or voting of securities or Stock or otherwise.

Section 6.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. The Parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.

Section 6.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, and by each Party on separate counterparts, each of which and any photocopies, facsimile copies and other

 

109


electronic methods of transmission thereof shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

Section 6.9 Survival; Releases of Guarantees and Liens.

(a) In addition to Section 3.2, this Agreement and all agreements, representations and warranties and covenants made in the Loan Documents, and in any document, certificate or statement delivered pursuant thereto or in connection therewith shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other Parties and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making of the Loan hereunder or thereunder, in each case until termination of such provision in accordance with this Section 6.9, regardless of any investigation made by any such other Party or on its behalf. Agent and the Lenders shall not be deemed to have waived, by reason of making the Loan, any Event of Default that may arise by reason of such representation or warranty proving to have been false or misleading, notwithstanding that the Lenders may have had notice or knowledge of any such Event of Default or may have had notice or knowledge that such representation or warranty was false or misleading at the time the applicable Disbursement was made.

(b) All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof (and, with respect to Section 3.1(g)(i)(B), the first two sentences of Section 3.1(i), Section 3.1 (y), Section 3.1 (z)(A) and (C), Section 3.1(ee), the first sentence of Section 3.1(mm), Section 3.1(nn), Section 3.1(oo), Section 3.1(rr), Section 3.1(ss) and Section 3.1 (tt), shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, including at all times after the execution and delivery hereof and thereof). Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Secured Parties, regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Parties or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Secured Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as either (i) any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain outstanding, unpaid or unsatisfied or (ii) the Maturity Date has not occurred. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, the obligations of the Loan Parties under Section 2.5 and the obligations of the Loan Parties and the Lenders under this Article 6 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations, the expiration or termination of the Warrants or the termination of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any provision hereof or thereof. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Documents, (a) the making of the representations and warranties herein or in any other Loan Document that relate to the Warrants or any securities laws shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and any other Obligations until such time that Warrants are fully and completely paid, performed, extinguished and terminated in accordance with their terms, (b) all rights set forth in the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement and all transactions contemplated thereby (other than this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to provisions that are not mentioned herein or therein to survive the payment in full of the Loans) shall continue to, and at all times, exist until (i) with respect to the Warrants, such Warrants are fully and completely paid, performed, extinguished and terminated in accordance with their terms and (ii) with respect to the Registration Rights Agreement, such Registration Rights Agreement is fully and completely terminated in accordance with its terms, (c) Sections 5.1(h), (p), (s) and (aa) and Section 5.2(xvii) will survive until the end of the Reporting Period, but all other affirmative and negative covenants, events of default, fees, penalties and other provisions not expressly surviving pursuant to this Section 6.9 shall terminate upon the payment in full of the Obligations (not including unasserted contingent indemnification obligations or any Obligations in respect of the Warrants, the Registration Rights Agreement or any Stock) and (d) all Liens granted on the Collateral under any Loan Document shall remain in effect and shall continue to secure the Obligations under the Loan Documents (x) until all of the Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and other than any Obligations under any Warrant or the

 

110


Registration Rights Agreement) have been paid in full in cash in accordance with such Loan Documents and (y) other than Liens on any Collateral disposed of in a Permitted Disposition or as otherwise agreed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater percentage of Lenders required pursuant to Section 6.6) (but such release shall only be for the Liens on such Collateral so disposed in a Permitted Disposition or as may be agreed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such greater percentage of Lenders required pursuant to Section 6.6)).

(c) Upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and other than any Obligations in connection with any Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement) in cash in accordance with the Loan Documents, subject to the second sentence of Section 6.22, all Collateral shall be automatically released from the Liens created by the Security Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise and all rights of the Secured Parties in the Collateral shall automatically terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or any additional performance by any Person.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the Agent is hereby unconditionally authorized and instructed by each Secured Party (without requirement of notice to or consent of any Secured Party) to take any action to release or terminate any Lien granted under the Loan Documents to secure the Obligations in the Collateral upon (i) payment in full of all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and other than the Obligations under any Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement) in cash in accordance with the Loan Documents, (ii) a written agreement by the requisite number of Lenders required by Section 6.6 and (iii) a Permitted Disposition (but solely in the Collateral so disposed of in a Permitted Disposition and not in any other property or assets).

(e) In each case in accordance with this Section 6.9 whereby a Lien on all or a portion of the Collateral is released, the Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of (i) all Collateral from the Liens granted under the Loan Documents upon payment in full of all Obligations (other than unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and other than the Obligations under any Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement) in cash in accordance with the Loan Documents, in each case, in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 6.9, (ii) Collateral permitted to be sold pursuant to clause (d)(ii) of this Section 6.9 (but solely in such Collateral) and (iii) the Liens on that Collateral sold pursuant to a Permitted Disposition (but solely in such Collateral sold pursuant to such Permitted Disposition).

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents and for the avoidance of doubt, the holders of the Warrants and parties to the Registration Rights Agreement shall be entitled to exercise all rights and remedies available to them under law and at equity and under the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement for any breaches of provisions that survive the payment in full of the Obligations (other than the payment in full of unasserted contingent indemnification obligations and other than Obligations under any Warrant or the Registration Rights Agreement).

Section 6.10 No Waiver. Neither the failure of, nor any delay on the part of, any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein or under any other Loan Document, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder, under any other Loan Document or under any other agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege; nor shall any waiver of any right, power, privilege or default hereunder, under any other Loan Document or under any agreement, document or instrument mentioned herein, constitute a waiver of any other right, power, privilege or default or constitute a waiver

 

111


of any default of the same or of any other term or provision. No course of dealing and no delay in exercising, or omission to exercise, any right, power or remedy accruing to Agent or the Lenders upon any breach, Default or Event of Default under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy or be construed to be a waiver thereof or an acquiescence therein; nor shall the action of Agent or the Lenders in respect of any such breach, Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence by it therein, affect or impair any right, power or remedy of Agent or the Lenders in respect of any other breach, Default or any Event of Default. All rights and remedies herein or in the other Loan Documents provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise provided by (or available at) law or in equity.

Section 6.11 Indemnity.

(a) The Loan Parties shall, at all times, indemnify and hold harmless (the “Indemnity”) the Secured Parties and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Person”) in connection with any losses, claims (including the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, the Loan Documents or the Prior Loan Documents, the extension of credit hereunder or the Loan or the other Obligations or the use or intended use of the Loan or the other Obligations, which an Indemnified Person may incur or to which an Indemnified Person may become subject (each, a “Loss”). The Indemnity shall not apply to the extent that a court or arbitral tribunal of competent jurisdiction issues a final non-appealable judgment that such Loss of an Indemnified Person resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person. The Indemnity is independent of and in addition to any other agreement of any Party under any Loan Document to pay any amount to the Secured Parties, and any exclusion of any obligation to pay any amount under this Section 6.11(a) shall not affect the requirement to pay such amount under any other section hereof or under any other agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 6.11 shall not apply to Taxes other than Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

(b) An Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own legal counsel with the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel and of such Indemnified Person to be paid by the indemnifying Person. The indemnification required by this Section 6.11 shall be made and paid by such indemnifying Person within ten (10) Business Days of written demand by such Indemnified Person.

(c) No settlement of any Loss shall be entered into by such indemnifying Person without the written consent of the applicable Indemnified Person.

(d) No Loan Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its Subsidiaries, assert, and each Loan Party on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby waives, any claim, loss or amount against any Indemnified Person with respect to any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any undertaking or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby. No Indemnified Person shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

Section 6.12 No Usury. The Loan Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to Agent or the Lenders for the Loan or the other Obligations exceed the maximum amount permissible under Applicable Law. If from any circumstance whatsoever fulfillment of any provision hereof or any other Loan Document, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be

 

112


reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstance Agent or the Lenders shall ever receive anything which might be deemed interest under Applicable Law, that would exceed the highest lawful rate, such amount that would be deemed excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing on account of the Loan or the other Obligations, or if such deemed excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Loan or the other Obligations, such deemed excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders for the Loan or the other Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be deemed to be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full term of the Loan and the other Obligations until payment in full so that the deemed rate of interest on account of the Loan and the other Obligations is uniform throughout the term thereof. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other provision of this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents.

Section 6.13 Specific Performance. The Loan Parties agree that irreparable damage, for which monetary relief, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that any provision of the Loan Documents is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached, including if the Loan Parties hereto fail to take any action required of them hereunder or thereunder to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. In light of the foregoing, the Loan Parties hereby agree that, until all Obligations have been paid in full in accordance with the Loan Documents, (a) the Secured Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of the Loan Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof and thereof in the courts described in Section 6.4 without proof of damages or otherwise and (b) the right of specific performance and other equitable relief is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and without that right, the Secured Parties would not have entered into the Loan Documents or have provided Loans or Disbursements hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The Loan Parties hereby agree not to assert (or have any of their Subsidiaries or their attorneys, agents or representatives assert or any other Person on their behalf to assert) that a remedy of specific performance or other equitable relief is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to Applicable Law or inequitable for any reason, and not to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy or that the parties otherwise have an adequate remedy at law. The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any Secured Party seeking an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of, or defaults under, the Loan Documents, to prevent any Default or Event of Default and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents in accordance with this Section 6.13 shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with any such injunction or other order or proceeding. The remedies available to the Secured Parties pursuant to this Section 6.13 shall be in addition to any other remedy which may be available under the Loan Documents, at law, in equity or otherwise.

Section 6.14 Further Assurances. From time to time, the Loan Parties shall perform any and all acts and execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such additional documents, agreements and instruments as may be reasonably requested by Agent or any of the Lenders to carry out the purposes of any Loan Document or to preserve and protect Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights as contemplated therein.

Section 6.15 Agent.

(a) Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Deerfield Private Design Fund IV, L.P. (together with any successor Agent appointed by Deerfield Private Design Fund IV, L.P. or any successor Agent that was appointed by the Lenders or any prior Agent) as Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes Agent to (i) execute and deliver the Loan Documents and accept delivery thereof on its behalf from any Loan Party, (ii) take such other actions on its behalf and to exercise all rights, powers and remedies and perform the duties as are expressly delegated to Agent under the Loan Documents and (iii) exercise such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, Agent shall not have any

 

113


duty or responsibility except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist against Agent. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in other Loan Documents with reference to Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.

(b) Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney in fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) None of Agent nor any of its directors, officers, employees, attorneys, advisors, representatives or agents shall (i) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the Transactions or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (except to the extent resulting from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or (ii) be responsible in any manner to any Lender or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by any Loan Party or Affiliate of any Loan Party, or any officer thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document (or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien or security interest therein), or for any failure of any Loan Party or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations (including the Obligations) hereunder or thereunder. Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan Party or any Loan Party’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

(d) Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution, representation, notice, consent, certificate, electronic mail message, affidavit, letter, telegram, facsimile, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Loan Party), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, shall receive confirmation from the Lenders of their obligation to indemnify Agent against any and all liabilities and expenses (including any fees and expenses of counsel to Agent) which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon each Lender.

(e) Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Default, unless Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or any Loan Party

 

114


referring to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, describing such Event of Default or Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Default as may be requested by the Lenders; provided that unless and until the Agent has received any such request, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Event of Default or Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of itself and the Lenders.

(f) Each Lender acknowledges that Agent has not made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereafter taken, including any consent and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent has disclosed material information in its possession. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and the other Loan Parties, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to extend credit to Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary or appropriate to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial or other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Loan Party which may come into the possession of Agent.

(g) Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each Lender shall indemnify upon demand Agent and its directors, officers, partners, employees, attorneys, advisors, representatives and agents (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so), according to its applicable Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all losses, claims (including the reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in defending against such claims), damages, liabilities, penalties or other expenses arising out of, or relating to, any of Agent’s duties, responsibilities or actions set forth in or that taken pursuant to the Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any payment to any such Person of any portion of the foregoing to the extent determined by a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the applicable Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct. No action taken in accordance with the directions of the Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 6.15(g). Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any document contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such fees, costs and expenses by or on behalf of the Loan Parties. The undertaking in this Section 6.15(g) shall survive repayment of the Loans and the other Obligations, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of the Loan Documents, termination of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents and the resignation or replacement of Agent.

(h) Agent may resign as Agent upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders. If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor Agent for such

 

115


successor Agent and the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders, a successor Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent, and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Section 6.15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

(i) Agent hereby appoints each other Lender and other Secured Party as its agent (and each Lender and other Secured Party hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the UCC can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender or other Secured Party obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender or other Secured Party shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.

Section 6.16 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender that is subject to the USA Patriot Act (and Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender)) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that, pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name, address and tax identification numbers of each Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or Agent to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the USA Patriot Act. In addition, if Agent or any other Secured Party is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) USA Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties’ senior management and key principals, and the Loan Parties agree to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agree that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall paid for, and reimbursed by, the Loan Parties and be for the account of the Loan Parties. This notice is given in accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act and is effective for Agent and the Lenders.

Section 6.17 Placement Agent. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall be solely responsible for the payment of any fees, costs, expenses and commissions of any placement agent, broker or financial adviser relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. The Borrower and the other Loan Parties shall pay, and hold each of the Secured Parties harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) arising in connection with any claim for any such payment.

Section 6.18 No Fiduciary Relationship. No Secured Party has any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with, and there is no agency, tenancy or joint venture relationship between the Secured Parties and the Loan Parties by virtue of, any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.

Section 6.19 Joint and Several. The obligations of the Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are joint and several. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, reference is hereby made to Sections 2, 4 and 8.3 of the Security Agreement, to which the obligations of the Loan Parties are subject.

 

116


Section 6.20 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Loan Parties and the Secured Parties party hereto (and the indemnitees mentioned herein), and their successors and permitted assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. No Secured Party shall have any obligation to any Person not a party to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Section 6.21 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each of the Loan Parties party hereto, each Lender party hereto and Agent and such executed counterparts have been delivered to Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Thereafter, it shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of, each Loan Party hereto and each Secured Party thereto and the indemnitees mentioned herein and, in each case, their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Section 6.22 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. No Secured Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any property in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or against or in payment of any Obligation. To the extent that any Secured Party receives a payment from the Borrower, from any other Loan Party, from the proceeds of the Collateral, from the exercise of its rights of setoff, any enforcement action or otherwise, and such payment is subsequently, in whole or in part, invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not occurred.

Section 6.23 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of any Secured Party, any right, remedy, power or privilege under any Loan Document, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No course of dealing between any Loan Party, any Affiliate of any Loan Party or any Secured Party shall be effective to amend, modify or discharge any provision of any of the Loan Documents.

Section 6.24 Right of Setoff. Each Secured Party and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized, without notice or demand (each of which is hereby waived by each Loan Party), at any time and from time to time during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other Indebtedness, claims or other obligations at any time owing by any Secured Party or any of its Affiliates to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any Obligation of any Loan Party now or hereafter existing, whether or not any demand was made under any Loan Document with respect to such Obligation and even though such Obligation may be unmatured. No Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff without the prior consent of Agent. Each Secured Party agrees promptly to notify Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Secured Party or its Affiliates. The rights under this Section 6.24 are in addition to any other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that any Secured Party or any of its Affiliates may have.

Section 6.25 Independent Nature of Secured Parties. The obligations of each Secured Party under the Loan Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Secured Party, and no Secured Party shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Secured Party under the Loan Documents. Each Secured Party shall be responsible only for its own representations, warranties, agreements and covenants under the Loan Documents. The decision of each Lender to acquire the Securities pursuant to the Loan Documents has been made by such Lender independently of any other Lender and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs,

 

117


operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries which may have been made or given by any other Secured Party or by any agent, attorney, advisor, representative or employee of any other Secured Party, and no Secured Party or any of its agents, attorneys, advisors, representatives or employees shall have any liability to any other Secured Party (or any other Person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents, and no action taken by any Secured Party pursuant hereto or thereto (including a Lender’s acquisition of Obligations, Notes or Warrants at the same time as any other Secured Party), shall be deemed to constitute the Secured Parties as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Secured Parties are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such Obligations or the transactions contemplated by any of the Loan Documents. Each Secured Party shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of the Loan Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Secured Party to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

Section 6.26 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender, directly or through any of its Affiliates, obtains any payment of any Obligation of any Loan Party (whether voluntary, involuntary or through the exercise of any right of setoff or the receipt of any Collateral or “proceeds” (as defined under the applicable UCC) of Collateral) (and other than pursuant to Section 6.5) and such payment exceeds the amount such Lender would have been entitled to receive if all payments had gone to, and been distributed in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents, such Lender shall purchase for cash from other Lenders such participations in their Obligations as necessary for such Lender to share such excess payment with such Lenders to ensure such payment is applied as though it had been applied in accordance with this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) if such payment is rescinded or otherwise recovered from such Lender in whole or in part, such purchase shall be rescinded and the purchase price therefor shall be returned to such Lender without interest and (ii) such Lender shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be able to exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the applicable Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

Section 6.27 Confidentiality.

(a) Each of the Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority), (iii) to the extent required by Applicable Laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any Secured Party or any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (A) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or (B) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Loan Parties and their obligations, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or payments hereunder or thereunder, (vii) on a confidential basis to (A) any rating agency in connection with rating any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries or the credit facilities provided hereunder or (B) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the credit facilities provided hereunder, (viii) with the consent of any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates, (ix) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section 6.27(a) or (B) becomes available to any

 

118


Secured Party or any of its Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower, or (x) as provided in Section 5.1(q). In addition, the Secured Parties may disclose the existence of this Agreement and information about this Agreement to market data collectors, similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Secured Parties in connection with the administration of the Loans and this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(b) For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party relating to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Loan Party or any Subsidiary; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan Documents, in the case of information received from the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries after the Prior Agreement Date, such Information is both (y) clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential and (z) provided to the Secured Parties at a time when the Secured Parties have requested in writing to receive material nonpublic information. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 6.27 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(c) The Loan Parties and their Affiliates agree that they will not issue any press release announcing the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the Agent, unless (and only to the extent that) the Loan Parties or such Affiliate is required to do so under Applicable Law and, in any event the Loan Parties and their Affiliates will provide the Agent with a copy of, and consult with the Agent before issuing, any such press release or other public disclosure with respect to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby and will consider in good faith any comments of the Agent.

Section 6.28 Intercreditor Agreement.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document: (i) the Liens granted to the Agent in favor of the Secured Parties pursuant to the Loan Documents and the exercise of any right related to any Collateral shall be subject, in each case, to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement, (ii) in the event of any conflict between the express terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, on the one hand, and of the Intercreditor Agreement, on the other hand, the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, shall control, (iii) any Collateral held by (or in the possession or control of) the ABL Agent (or its agents or bailees) shall be held as agent and bailee for security, Lien perfection and control purposes in favor of Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement and the Loan Documents, and (iv) each Lender (and, by its acceptance of the benefits of any Loan Document, each other Secured Party) hereunder authorizes and instructs Agent to execute the Intercreditor Agreement on behalf of such Lender, and such Lender agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.

(b) Each Lender (and, by its acceptance of the benefits of any Loan Document, each other Secured Party) hereunder authorizes and instructs the Agent, as Agent and on behalf of such Lender or other Secured Party, to enter into one or more intercreditor agreements (including any Intercreditor Agreement and the Second Lien Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement) from time to time pursuant to, or as contemplated by, the terms of this Agreement and agrees that it will be bound by the terms and provisions thereof and will take no actions contrary to the terms and provisions thereof.

Section 6.29 Acknowledgment of Prior Obligations and Continuation Thereof. Each of the Loan Parties (a) consent to the amendment and restatement of the Prior Facility Agreement by this Agreement (and any other “Loan Documents” (as defined in the Prior Facility Agreement, the “Prior Loan

 

119


Documents”) that are being amended and restated); (b) acknowledges and agrees that (i) there are “Obligations” (as defined in the Prior Facility Agreement) owing to the Secured Parties that will continue to be owed and owing to the Secured Parties as Obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including the obligations under the Original Warrants and the Prior Registration Rights Agreement that existed immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement, and (ii) the prior grant or grants of Liens or security interests in favor of any of the Agent or the other Secured Parties in such Loan Parties’ properties and assets, under each Prior Loan Document continue to exist and will continue to exist under the Loan Documents, and each Loan Document to which it is a party shall be in respect of the Obligations of each of the Loan Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that such security interests or Liens shall be as modified (if applicable) pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents applicable thereto which are entered into on the Agreement Date, if any; (c) reaffirms (i) all of the Obligations (as defined in the Prior Facility Agreement) owing to the Secured Parties, and (ii) all prior or concurrent grants of Liens or security interests in favor of any of the Agent or the Secured Parties under each Prior Loan Document and each Loan Document; provided, however, that such Liens or security interests shall be as modified (if applicable) pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents applicable thereto which are entered into on the Agreement Date, if any; and (d) agrees that, except as expressly amended hereby or unless being amended and restated concurrently herewith, each of the Prior Loan Documents to which it is a party is and shall remain in full force and effect. Each of the Loan Parties hereby confirms and agrees that all outstanding principal, interest and fees (including such accrued and unpaid principal, interest, and fees set forth in the immediately preceding sentence) and other “Obligations” (as defined in the Priority Facility Agreement) under the Prior Facility Agreement and the other Prior Loan Documents immediately prior to the Agreement Date shall, from and after the Agreement Date, be, without duplication, Obligations owing and payable pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as in effect from time to time, shall accrue interest thereon as specified in this Agreement, and shall be secured by the Loan Documents. Although each of the Loan Parties has been informed of the matters set forth herein and has acknowledged and agreed to the same, it understands that no Secured Party shall have any obligation to inform it of such matters in the future or to seek its acknowledgement or agreement to future amendments, restatements, supplements or other modifications, and nothing herein shall create such a duty.

Section 6.30 No Novation. This Agreement does not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money outstanding under the Prior Facility Agreement or the other Prior Loan Documents or discharge or release the obligations or the Liens or priority of any pledge, security agreement or any other security therefor or any of the obligations under the Prior Loan Documents (including the Original Warrants and the Prior Registration Rights Agreement). Nothing herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the obligations outstanding under the Prior Facility Agreement, the other Prior Loan Documents or agreements, instruments or documents securing the same, which shall remain in full force and effect, except as modified hereby or by agreements, instruments or documents executed concurrently herewith. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall be construed as a release or other discharge of any Loan Party from any of its obligations or liabilities under the Prior Facility Agreement and the other Prior Loan Documents or any of the security agreements, pledge agreements, guaranties or other loan documents executed in connection therewith. Each of Loan Parties hereby (a) confirms and agrees that each Prior Loan Document and each Initial Warrant to which it is a party that is not being amended and restated concurrently herewith is, and shall continue to be, in full force and effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects except that on and after the Agreement Date, all references in any such Prior Loan Document to (i) “the Facility Agreement,” “thereto,” “thereof,” “thereunder” or words of like import referring to the Prior Facility Agreement shall mean the Prior Facility Agreement as amended and restated by this Agreement or (ii) any other Prior Loan Document being amended and restated, “thereto,”, thereof,” thereunder,” or words of like import referring to such Prior Loan Document shall mean such Prior Loan Document as amended and restated by the corresponding Loan Document; and (b) confirms and agrees that to the extent that any such Prior Loan Document purports to assign or pledge to any of the Agent or the

 

120


other Secured Parties or to grant to any of the Agent or the other Secured Parties a security interest in or Lien on, any collateral as security for the obligations of any Loan Party, as the case may be, from time to time existing in respect of the Prior Facility Agreement or the other Prior Loan Documents, such pledge or assignment or grant of the security interest or Lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects with respect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 6.31 Survival of Any Existing Unmatured Events of Default and Events of Default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents (including the Original Warrants and the Prior Registration Rights Agreement) or otherwise, except as expressly set forth otherwise in any Loan Document, (a) any “Default” and any “Event of Default” under the Prior Loan Documents, the Original Warrants or the Prior Registration Rights Agreement (including any incorrect or inaccurate (or breach of a) representation, warranty or certification made under the Prior Facility Agreement, any other Prior Loan Document, any Original Warrant or the Prior Registration Rights Agreement) arising on or prior to the Agreement Date shall continue to exist under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and (b) such amendments, amendments and restatements, supplements and modifications made to the Prior Facility Agreement and the other Prior Loan Documents, any Original Warrant or the Prior Registration Rights Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver, forbearance or other modification thereof. Any representation, warranty or certification made under the Prior Loan Documents, the Original Warrants and the Prior Registration Rights Agreement that continued to be made after initially being made shall continue to be made under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the Original Warrants and the Prior Registration Rights Agreement (but, for the avoidance of doubt, without giving effect to any such amendment with respect to the making of such representation, warranty or certification prior to the date of such amendment), and any incorrectness, inaccurateness or breach of any such representation, warranty or certification shall be a breach or violation under this Agreement, the Loan Documents, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement and subject to the rights and remedies provided hereunder and thereunder for any such breach or violation of a representation, warranty or certification.

Schedule 3.1(h)

Litigation

Active Matters: Set forth below are certain legal matters that are either in active litigation or could proceed to active litigation. It is possible that Borrower’s aggregate liability arising for monetary judgements or relief arising out of these matters, and other litigation involving the Company, could exceed $2,000,000, The Company does not believe that any one of the matters discussed below (including the AFX product liability suits considered as a consolidated group) would individually result in monetary judgements or relief in excess of $2,000,000.

 

   

Vicky Nguyen v. Endologix, Inc., et al.: (Filed January 3, 2017 in the United States District Court, Central District of California; Case No. 2:17-cv-00017). A putative shareholder class action pending in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. Lead plaintiff in Nguyen asserts multiple causes of action for securities fraud based on allegations that Borrower and two of its executives, John McDermott, former Chief Executive Officer of Borrower, and Vaseem Mahboob, Chief Financial Officer of Borrower misled investors by opining optimistically about Borrower’s prospects for FDA pre-market approval of the Nellix EVAS System. On March 15, 2019, lead plaintiff filed an appeal of the District Court’s September 2018 dismissal with prejudice of lead plaintiff’s Second Amended Complaint. Borrower continues to believe that lead plaintiff’s complaints are meritless. On December 5, 2017, the District Court granted Borrower’s motion to dismiss lead plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint, with leave to amend. On January 9, 2018, lead plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint. Borrower’s motion for dismissal of the Second Amended Complaint with prejudice was granted on September 6, 2018. On October 6. 2018, lead plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the District Court’s decision, and on March 15, 2019, lead plaintiff filed its appeal. In April 2019, Borrower filed its response brief to plaintiff’s appeal, and the Appellate Court’s hearing on this matter occurred on February 11, 2020. The Company expects the Appellate Court’s decision to be rendered later in 2020.

 

   

Derivative Lawsuits: As of June 11, 2017, four shareholders have filed derivative lawsuits on behalf of Borrower, the nominal plaintiff, based on allegations substantially similar to those alleged by lead plaintiff in Nguyen. Those actions consist of: Sindlinger v. McDermott et al., Case No. BC662280 (Los Angeles Superior Court); Abraham v. McDermott et al., Case No. 30-2018-00968971-CU-BT-CSC (Orange County Superior Court); and Green v. McDermott et al., Case No. 8:17-cv-01155-AB (PLAx), consolidated with Cocco v. McDermott et al., Case No. 8:17-cv-01183-AB (PLAx) (U.S. District Court for the Central District of California). Plaintiffs in the Sindlinger, Abraham and Green derivative actions have agreed to stay litigation pending resolution of the Nguyen action. A related case, Ahmed v. Endologix, Inc., et al. (Filed January 11, 2017 in the United States District Court, Central District of California; Case No. 8:17-cv-00061) was consolidated into Nguyen v. Endologix, Inc.

 

   

Kerr: On July 30, 2019, an action was brought in United States District Court for the Central District of California (Case No. 8:19-cv-01457) against Borrower and certain other Loan Parties by Andrew Kerr, M.D., alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,257,423, 9,050,182 and 10,105,209, which allegedly were issued to and are owned by Dr. Kerr. As alleged in the complaint, the accused infringing devices include the Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft System, the Ovation Prime Abdominal Stent Graft System, the Ovation Prime, the Ovation IX Abdominal Stent Graft System, and the Ovation iX (collectively, the “Ovation Devices”). Borrower believes plaintiff’s claims are without merit and is vigorously defending the action.


   

AFX: Borrower has been named as a defendant in a number of complaints, in each case alleging a variety of product liability-based claims pertaining to Borrower’s AFX with Strata product. Borrower believes it has insurance responsive to these claims, which insurance provides for a $150,000 per claim deductible and an aggregate one million dollar aggregate deductible (for the policy year applicable to these claims). Borrower believes plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and is vigorously defending the action.

 

   

Kaiser: Borrower has received a letter, dated January 10, 2020, from outside counsel to KP Select, LLC, one of the Kaiser Permanent family of companies (“Kaiser”), demanding that Borrower provide reimbursement to Kaiser in the amount of $4.1 million dollars for costs allegedly incurred by Kaiser for treating patients whose AFX Endovascular AAA Systems were subject to the July 2018 recall notice. Borrower vigorously disputes this payment demand. Since it is presently not possible to determine the outcome of any future discussions with Kaiser regarding this matter, and whether litigation will ensue, or the outcomes associated with potential litigation, no provision has been made in Borrower’s financial statements for the ultimate resolution.

 

   

Royalty Demand: Borrower has received a letter, dated February 13, 2020, from a licensor under one of the Company’s inbound patent license agreements alleging that the Company is in breach of certain royalty payment obligations under such agreement. In this letter, licensor has expressed a desire to reach a reasonable and amicable resolution of this matter. Borrower vigorously disagrees with this payment demand. Since it is presently not possible to determine the outcome of any future discussions with the licensor regarding this matter, and whether litigation will ensue, or the outcomes associated with potential litigation, no provision has been made in Borrower’s financial statements at this time for the ultimate resolution. Should a bona fide dispute ensure, it is possible that Borrower will be required to deposit the disputed amount into escrow pending resolution of the dispute.

 

   

Other IP Infringement Notice: The Loan Parties have received notice from an individual claiming that certain of our products read on certain issued patents held by such individual. The Loan Parties, after consultation with independent patent counsel, strongly disagrees with these claims. Since it is presently not possible to determine the outcome of any future discussions with these individuals in regard to their patents, and whether litigation will ensue, or the outcomes associated with potential litigation, no provision has been made in Borrower’s financial statements for the ultimate resolution.

Options and Equity Incentive/Compensation Plans:

2015 Stock Incentive Plan:    Borrower’s 2015 Stock Incentive Plan as amended (the “2015 Plan”) authorizes the grant of equity awards to purchase up to 4.13 million shares of Common Stock. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 2.1 million shares were reserved for issuance under outstanding stock options, including stock options granted under equity compensation plans preceding the 2015 Plan, and approximately 740,000 shares were subject to unvested restricted stock awards. The outstanding stock options have exercise prices ranging from $4.71 to $175.80 and a weighted average exercise price of $10.23. There have been no material changes to the items discussed in this paragraph as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.

Amended and Restated 2006 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”): As of December 31, 2019, approximately 435,000 shares of Common Stock were available for issuance under the ESPP. There have been no material changes to such amount as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.


2017 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan: The Board has reserved 900,000 shares of Borrower’s Common Stock for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the 2017 Inducement Stock Incentive Plan. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 500,000 shares of Common Stock were available for issuance under this plan. There have been no material changes to such amount as of the Fourth Amendment Effective Date.

Non-Plan Inducement Grants: In connection with its merger with TriVascular Technologies, Inc., on February 4, 2016 Borrower issued non-plan inducement stock options to purchase 140,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price of $75.30 per share, and non-plan inducement restricted stock units for approximately 8,000 shares of Common Stock. Upon consummation of Borrower’s stockholder-approved option exchange program in September 2019, there were non-inducement stock options outstanding to purchase approximately 22,000 shares of common stock of Borrower at a weighted-average exercise price of $35.29. As of December 31, 2019, non-plan inducement restricted stock units for approximately 6,000 shares of Common Stock remained outstanding.

Warrants:

In connection with its merger with TriVascular Technologies, Inc. on February 3, 2016, Borrower assumed unexercised out-of-the-money warrants of TriVascular Technologies, Inc., which converted into warrants to purchase 3,508 shares of Common Stock, 2,426 at an exercise price of $125.80 per share and 1,082 at an exercise price of $282.10 per share.

Borrower has previously issued warrants to Lenders to purchase an aggregate of 1,522,002 shares of Common Stock of Borrower at an exercise price of $6.61 per share. At the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, these warrants will be amended to reduce the exercise price to $1.50 per share upon the terms and conditions set forth in the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment.

On April 3, 2019, Borrower issued and sold a pre-paid warrant exercisable for Borrower’s common stock at an exercise price of $6.61 per share to an investor, as contemplated pursuant to Equity Financing Documents. The exercise price for the pre-paid warrant was fully paid at issuance and is exercisable at any time until April 3, 2029, subject to satisfaction of certain equity ownership limitations as described in such warrant.

Convertible Notes:

2020 3.25% Convertible Notes; 2024 5.0% Convertible Senior Notes: On November 2, 2015, Borrower issued $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the terms of the Facility Agreement with Deerfield, $40.5 million of the aggregate principal amount of the 3.25% Convertible Notes was cancelled; $84.5 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Convertible Notes were thereafter outstanding. At the Second Amendment Effective Date, approximately $73.36 million of the remaining $84.5 million of 3.25% Convertible Notes was exchanged for (i) approximately $42 million of new 5.0% Voluntary Convertible Senior Notes due 2024; and $25 million of new 5.0% Voluntary Convertible Senior Notes due 2024. At the Fourth Amendment Effective Date, the remaining outstanding 3.25% Convertible Notes totaling approximately $11.00 million of aggregate principal plus outstanding interest will be exchanged for approximately $11.0 million of new 5.0% Voluntary Convertible Senior Notes due 2024.


Pursuant to this Agreement the Borrower may issue Conversion Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Notes.

Pursuant to the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment, the Borrower may, at Borrower’s option pay the Restructuring Fee (as defined in the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment) through the issuance of the Fourth Amendment Restructuring Shares (as defined in the February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment).

Other Rights to Securities of Borrower:

In connection with its merger with Nellix, Inc. (“Nellix”), Borrower agreed to issue shares of Common Stock to the former stockholders of Nellix upon Borrower’s receipt of FDA approval to sell its Nellix EVAS System in the United States (the “PMA Milestone”). The number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the former stockholders of Nellix upon achievement of the PMA Milestone shall equal the quotient obtained by dividing $15.0 million by the average per share closing price of Common Stock on The Nasdaq Global Select Market for each of the 30 consecutive trading days ending with the fifth trading day immediately preceding the date of Borrower’s receipt of FDA approval to sell its Nellix EVAS System in the United States, subject to a stock price floor of $45.00 per share, but not subject to a stock price ceiling.

2. Lien Priorities and Security Interests.

2.1 Seniority of Liens Securing First Lien Obligations. Until the First Lien Obligations have been Paid in Full, each Second Lien Creditor’s security interest in and Lien on the Collateral to secure the Second Lien Obligations shall be and hereby are subordinate for all purposes and in all respects to each of the First Lien Agent’s security interests in and Liens on the Collateral to secure the First Lien Obligations, regardless of the order or time of attachment, or the order, time or manner of perfection, or the order or time of filing or recordation of any document or instrument, or other method of perfecting a Lien. The Lien priorities set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any amendment, modification, supplement, extension, renewal, restatement, replacement or refinancing of any of the First Lien Obligations or the Second Lien Obligations, by any failure to perfect the First Lien Agents’ respective security interests in the Collateral, the subordination of the First Lien Agents’ respective Liens on the Collateral, the avoidance or invalidation of the First Lien Agents’ respective Liens, or by any other action or inaction which any First Lien Creditor may take or fail to take with respect to the Collateral.

2.2 Perfection; Prohibition on Contesting Liens. Each of the First Lien Agents, for itself and on behalf of each First Lien Creditor, and the Second Lien Agent, for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Creditor, agrees that it owes no responsibility to the other for perfecting and

 

8


maintaining the perfection of its Lien on each item constituting the Collateral. Further, in no event shall the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Creditor knowingly take, accept or perfect any Lien in any property unless the First Lien Agents also shall have a perfected Lien in such property. If the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Creditor obtains possession of or otherwise receives any Collateral or proceeds thereof in violation of the foregoing or any other term of this Agreement, then such Collateral and proceeds shall be held in trust by the Second Lien Agent or such Second Lien Creditor for the benefit of the First Lien Agents and turned over promptly to the First Lien Agents in the form so received (with any necessary endorsements). This Agreement is intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as between the First Lien Agents and First Lien Creditors on the one hand and the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Creditors on the other hand and shall not impose on any First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Creditor or the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Creditor any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of foreclosure of any Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims thereon in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority or any applicable law. Each of the Second Lien Agent and each other Second Lien Creditor agrees that it will not at any time contest the validity, perfection, priority, or enforceability of any of the First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Loan Documents or the Liens and security interests of the First Lien Agents in the Collateral securing the First Lien Obligations.

2.3 Agreement to Release Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any agreement between any Second Lien Creditor and Endologix, until the First Lien Obligations have been Paid in Full, only the First Lien Agents (and each of them) shall have the right to restrict or permit, or approve or disapprove, the sale, transfer, release or other disposition of the Collateral or take any action with respect to the Collateral, which right any of the First Lien Agents may exercise without any consultation with or consent of the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Creditor. In the event that any of the First Lien Agents releases or agrees to release any of its Liens or security interests in any portion of the Collateral in connection with the sale or other disposition thereof, or any of the Collateral is sold or retained pursuant to a foreclosure or similar action, the liens securing the Second Lien Obligations shall automatically be released and the Second Lien Agent for itself and on behalf of each Second Lien Creditor shall promptly consent to such sale or other disposition and promptly execute and deliver to such First Lien Agent such consent to such sale or other disposition, any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Section, including authorizing such First Lien Agent to file any terminations of financing statements, partial lien releases, mortgage satisfactions and discharges, endorsements, assignments or other instruments of transfer, termination or release (collectively, “Release Documents”), as such First Lien Agent shall reasonably request to effect the release of the Liens and security interests of the Second Lien Agent in such Collateral. In the event of any sale, transfer or other disposition (including a casualty loss or taking through eminent domain) of the Collateral, the proceeds resulting therefrom (including insurance proceeds) shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Loan Documents until such time as the First Lien Obligations have been Paid in Full.

2.4 Power of Attorney. The Second Lien Agent and each Second Lien Creditor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints each First Lien Agent, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in the place and stead of the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Creditors and in the name of the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Creditors or in such First Lien Agent’s own name, from time to time in such First Lien Agent’s discretion, solely for the purpose of carrying out the terms of Section 2.3 hereof, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all Release Documents, and, in addition, to take any and all other appropriate and commercially reasonable action for the purpose of carrying out the terms of such Sections, such power of attorney being coupled with an interest and irrevocable. The Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Creditors hereby ratify all that said attorneys shall lawfully

 

9


do or cause to be done pursuant to the power of attorney granted in this Section 2.4. No Person to whom this power of attorney is presented, as authority for the First Lien Agent to take any action or actions contemplated hereby, shall be required to inquire into or seek confirmation from any Second Lien Creditor as to the authority of such First Lien Agent to take any action described herein, or as to the existence of or fulfillment of any condition to this power of attorney, which is intended to grant to such First Lien Agent the authority to take and perform the actions contemplated herein. The Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Creditors irrevocably waive any right to commence any suit or action, in law or equity, against any Person that acts in reliance upon or acknowledges the authority granted under this power of attorney.

“THE LIEN AND SECURITY INTEREST GRANTED TO THE HOLDER OF THIS NOTE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THAT CERTAIN SUBORDINATION AND INTERCREDITOR AGREEMENT DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 24, 2020 (THE “SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT”) AMONG THE COMPANY, THE COLLATERAL AGENT, THE OTHER SECOND LIEN CREDITORS AND THE FIRST LIEN AGENTS (AS DEFINED IN THE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT) AND EACH HOLDER OF THIS NOTE, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, SHALL BE BOUND BY THE PROVISIONS OF THE SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT.”

3. Enforcement.

3.1 Exercise of Remedies. Until the First Lien Obligations have been Paid in Full, each First Lien Agent shall have the exclusive right to manage, perform and enforce (or not enforce) the terms of the respective First Lien Loan Documents with respect to the Collateral, to exercise and enforce all privileges and rights thereunder in such order and manner as it may determine in its sole discretion, including the exclusive right to take or retake control or possession of any Collateral and to make determinations regarding the release, disposition, or restrictions with respect to any Collateral, without any consultation with or the consent of the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Creditor. In that regard, no Second Lien Creditor shall, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agents (i) exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies (including setoff) with respect to any Collateral in respect of any Second Lien Obligations, or institute any action or proceeding with respect to such rights or remedies (including any action of foreclosure), (ii) contest, protest or object to any foreclosure proceeding or action brought with respect to the Collateral by any First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Creditor in respect of the First Lien Obligations, or any other exercise by any such party of any rights and remedies relating to the Collateral under the First Lien Loan Documents or otherwise in respect of the First Lien Obligations, or (iii) object to the forbearance by the First Lien Creditors from bringing or pursuing any foreclosure proceeding or action or any other exercise of any rights or remedies relating to the Collateral in respect of First Lien Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Second Lien Agent may, subject to Section 8.2 of this Agreement, file and defend proofs of claim against Endologix in any Insolvency Proceeding involving Endologix. No First Lien Creditor shall have any liability to any Second Lien Creditor in respect of any Second Lien Creditor’s failure to obtain repayment in full of the Second Lien Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Second Lien Creditor may exercise or seek to exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral in respect of any Second Lien Obligations after the passage of a period of 360 days (the “Standstill Period”) from the date of delivery of a written notice to the First Lien Agent of such Second Lien Creditor’s intention to exercise such rights, which notice may only be delivered following the occurrence of and during the continuation of a Second Lien Event of Default; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, in no

 

10


event shall any Second Lien Creditor exercise or continue to exercise any such rights or remedies if, notwithstanding the expiration of the Standstill Period, (a) any First Lien Creditor shall have commenced and be pursuing the exercise of rights and remedies with respect to any of the Collateral, or (b) an Insolvency Proceeding shall have been commenced in respect of Endologix; provided, further, that in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against Endologix, the Second Lien Creditors may take any action only as expressly permitted by Section 8.2.

3.2 Rights as Unsecured Creditors. The Second Lien Agent and the other Second Lien Creditors may exercise rights and remedies as unsecured creditors against Endologix in accordance with the terms of the Second Lien Documents and applicable law, so long as such rights and remedies do not violate any provision of this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the receipt by the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Creditor of the required payments of principal, premium, interest, fees, and other amounts due under the Second Lien Documents, so long as such receipt (a) is not the direct or indirect result of the exercise in contravention of this Agreement by the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Creditor of rights or remedies as a secured creditor in respect of the Collateral and (b) whether in contravention of this Agreement or not, does not have the effect of discharging any Lien of any First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Creditor on the Collateral. In the event the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Creditor becomes a judgment lien creditor in respect of the Collateral as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor in respect of Second Lien Obligations, such judgment lien shall be subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so subordinated to such Liens securing the First Lien Obligations under this Agreement.

4. Payments.

4.1 Application of Collateral Proceeds. If a First Lien Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, so long as the First Lien Obligations have not been Paid in Full and whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against Endologix or any other Grantor, the Collateral and any proceeds received in connection with the sale or other disposition of, or collection on, the Collateral upon the exercise of remedies shall be applied by the First Lien Agents to the First Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the First Lien Loan Documents until the First Lien Obligations shall have been Paid in Full. When the First Lien Obligations have been Paid in Full, each First Lien Agent shall deliver promptly to the Second Lien Agent any Second Lien Collateral or proceeds thereof held by it in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, to be applied by the Second Lien Agent to the Second Lien Obligations in such order as specified in the relevant Second Lien Document.

4.2 Payments Over. Unless and until the First Lien Obligations shall have been Paid in Full and whether or not any Insolvency Proceeding has been commenced by or against Endologix or any other Grantor, the Collateral and any proceeds thereof received by the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Creditor in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy (including setoff) relating to the Collateral, in contravention of this Agreement or otherwise, shall be segregated and held in trust for the benefit of, and immediately paid over to, the First Lien Agents for the benefit of the First Lien Creditors in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct, and be applied in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Each First Lien Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for each of the Second Lien Agent and any other Second Lien Creditor. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

5. Modifications and Amendments.

 

11


5.1 Modifications to First Lien Loan Documents. Each First Lien Agent may at any time and from time to time without the consent of or notice to the Second Lien Agent, without incurring liability to any Second Lien Creditor, and without impairing or releasing the obligations of the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Creditor under this Agreement, change the manner or place of payment, or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter any of the terms of the First Lien Obligations (including any increase in the amount thereof, any increase the interest rate applicable thereto or the payment of any additional fees in connection therewith), or amend, restate, supplement, or otherwise modify in any manner any First Lien Loan Document.

5.2 Modifications to Junior Loan Documents. Until the First Lien Obligations have been Paid in Full, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Second Lien Documents, Endologix, the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Creditors shall not, without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agents, agree to any amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification to the Second Lien Documents if such amendment, modification, or supplement the effect of which is (a) to alter any subordination provision; (b) to obtain any guarantee from Persons that do not (or shall not after giving effect to any such guarantee) guarantee the First Lien Obligations unless the requisite First Lien Creditors under the First Lien Credit Agreements shall have previously agreed to not obtain such guarantee; (c) to take any Liens in any assets of any Grantor (other than subordinate Liens in any assets of Endologix permitted by, and at all times subject to, the terms of this Agreement); or (d) in contravention of or prohibited by the terms of the First Lien Loan Documents.

6. Waiver of Certain Rights over Collateral by Second Lien Agent.

6.1 Marshalling. The Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Creditors, hereby waives any rights it may have under applicable law to assert the doctrine of marshalling or to otherwise require any First Lien Agent to marshal any property of Endologix for the benefit of the Second Lien Creditors.

6.2 Rights Relating to Each First Lien Agent’s Actions Regarding the Collateral. The Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Creditors, hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any rights which it may have to enjoin or otherwise obtain a judicial or administrative order preventing any First Lien Agent from taking, or refraining from taking, any action with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. Without limitation of the foregoing, each of the Second Lien Agent and each other Second Lien Creditor hereby agrees that (a) it has no right to direct or object to the manner in which any First Lien Agent applies the proceeds of the Collateral resulting from the exercise by such First Lien Agent of rights and remedies under the First Lien Loan Documents and (b) no First Lien Agent has assumed any obligation to act as the agent for the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Creditor with respect to the Collateral. The First Lien Agents shall not have, by reason of this Agreement or any other document, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Second Lien Creditor. Except as expressly set forth in Section 6.4 below in respect of the perfection of Second Liens, each Second Lien Creditor agrees that no First Lien Agent has assumed any obligations to act, and does not act, as agent, fiduciary, bailee or custodian for any Second Lien Creditor with respect to any of the Collateral or other property for any purposes, including, without limitation, for purposes of perfecting any Second Lien or holding, disposing, managing or liquidating any Collateral. The First Lien Agents shall have the exclusive right to enforce rights and exercise remedies with respect to the Collateral until the First Lien Obligations have been Paid in Full. In exercising rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral, the First Lien Agents may enforce the provisions of the First Lien Loan Documents and exercise remedies thereunder, all in such order and in such manner as they may determine in their sole discretion and in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. Such exercise and enforcement shall include the rights to sell or otherwise dispose of Collateral, to incur expenses in

 

12


connection with such sale or disposition and to exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured lender under the UCC. In conducting any public or private sale under the UCC, any First Lien Agent shall give the Second Lien Agent written notice of such sale; provided, however, that 10 (ten) days’ notice shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable notice.

6.3 Preservation of Rights. No First Lien Agent shall have any duty to protect or preserve any rights pertaining to any of the Collateral in its possession and no First Lien Agent shall have any liability to the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Creditor for any claims and liabilities at any time arising with respect to the Collateral in its possession.

6.4 Bailee for Perfection.

(a) Each First Lien Agent and Second Lien Agent each agree to hold or control that part of the Collateral that is in its possession or control (or in the possession or control of its agents or bailees) to the extent that possession or control thereof is taken to perfect a Lien thereon under the UCC or other applicable law (such Collateral being referred to as the “Pledged Collateral”), as bailee and as a non-fiduciary representative for Second Lien Agent or First Lien Agent, as applicable (such bailment and agency being intended, among other things, to satisfy the requirements of Sections 8-301(a)(2), 9-313(c), 9-104, 9-105, 9-106, and 9-107 of the UCC), solely for the purpose of perfecting the security interest granted under the Second Lien Documents or the First Lien Loan Documents, as applicable, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 6.4. Unless and until the First Lien Obligations are Paid in Full, the Second Lien Agent agrees to promptly notify the First Lien Agents of any Pledged Collateral held by it or by any other Second Lien Creditor of which it has knowledge, and, promptly upon the request of any First Lien Agent at any time prior to the Payment in Full of the First Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Agent agrees to deliver to any First Lien Agent any such Pledged Collateral held by it or received by it from any other Second Lien Creditor, together with any necessary endorsements (or otherwise allow the First Lien Agents to obtain control of such Pledged Collateral). Nothing in this Section 6.4 shall affect the relative priorities in and to the Collateral, all of which shall be governed by Section 2.1 of this Agreement.

(b) No First Lien Agent shall have any obligation whatsoever to Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Creditor to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by Endologix or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 6.4. Each of the Second Lien Agent and the other Second Lien Creditors hereby waives and releases each First Lien Agent from all claims and liabilities arising out of, or relating to, any First Lien Agent’s role under this Section 6.4 as bailee or agent with respect to any Collateral (except to

 

13


the extent resulting from such First Lien Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment). Each of the First Lien Agent and the other First Lien Creditors hereby waives and releases the Second Lien Agent from all claims and liabilities arising out of, or relating to the Second Lien Agent’s role under this Section 6.4 as bailee or agent with respect to any Collateral (except to the extent resulting from the Second Lien Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment). Second Lien Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any First Lien Agent or any First Lien Creditor to ensure that the Pledged Collateral is genuine or owned by Endologix or to preserve rights or benefits of any Person except as expressly set forth in this Section 6.4. The duties or responsibilities of the First Lien Agents under this Section 6.4 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Pledged Collateral as bailee and non-fiduciary representative in accordance with this Section 6.4 and delivering the Pledged Collateral upon a Payment in Full of First Lien Obligations as provided in Section 6.5. The duties or responsibilities of Second Lien Agent under this Section 6.4 shall be limited solely to holding or controlling the Pledged Collateral as bailee and non-fiduciary representative in accordance with this Section 6.4 and Section 2.2.

(c) No First Lien Agent acting pursuant to this Section 6.4 (or otherwise) shall have by reason of any First Lien Loan Documents, the Second Lien Documents, or this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Creditor. Second Lien Agent acting pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall not have by reason of the First Lien Loan Documents, the Second Lien Documents, or this Agreement a fiduciary relationship in respect of First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Creditor.

(d) Upon the Payment in Full of First Lien Obligations, the First Lien Agents shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, at the sole cost and expense of Endologix (or, if Endologix fails to pay such costs and expenses, at the cost and expense of the Second Lien Creditors other than the Second Lien Agent and the Trustee), deliver the remaining tangible Pledged Collateral (if any) together with any necessary endorsements (including taking other action reasonably requested by Second Lien Agent to amend any control agreements), first, to Second Lien Agent to the extent the Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding as confirmed in writing by Second Lien Agent, and second, to Endologix to the extent no First Lien Obligations or Second Lien Obligations remain outstanding (in each case, so as to allow such Person to obtain possession or control of such Pledged Collateral).

6.5 Transfer of Pledged Collateral to Second Lien Agent.

(a) The First Lien Agents hereby agree that upon the Payment in Full of the First Lien Obligations which is not accompanied by the payment in full of the Second Lien Obligations, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon the written request of Endologix or of Second Lien Agent (with all costs and expenses in connection therewith to be for the account of Endologix (or, if Endologix fails to pay such costs and expenses, at the cost and expense of the Second Lien Creditors other than the Second Lien Agent and the Trustee):

(i) Each First Lien Agent shall, without recourse or warranty, take commercially reasonable steps to transfer the possession and control of the Pledged Collateral, if any, then in its possession or control to Second Lien Agent, except in the event and to the extent (A) such Collateral is sold, liquidated, or otherwise disposed of by any First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Creditor or by Endologix as provided herein or in any other First Lien Loan Document in full or partial satisfaction of any of the First Lien

 

14


Obligations or (B) it is otherwise required by any order of any court or other governmental authority or applicable law; and

(ii) in connection with the terms of any collateral access agreement, whether with a landlord, processor, warehouseman, or other third party or any control agreement, the First Lien Agents shall notify the other parties thereto that its rights thereunder have been assigned to Second Lien Agent (to the extent such assignment is not prohibited by the terms of such agreement) and shall confirm to such parties that Second Lien Agent is thereafter the “Lender” and/or “Secured Party” (or other comparable term) as such term is used in any such agreement and is otherwise entitled to the rights of the secured party under such agreement.

(b) The foregoing provision shall not impose on any First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Creditor any obligations which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other Person or any order or decree of any court or other governmental authority or any applicable law or give rise to risk of legal liability.

(c) Each of the First Lien Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, notice or other statement believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Endologix), independent accountants and other experts selected by such First Lien Agent. No First Lien Agent shall be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance upon such writing, communication, notice or other statement. In connection with any actions taken pursuant to this Agreement, each First Lien Agent shall also be entitled to all rights, protections, indemnities and immunities granted to it hereunder and under any other First Lien Loan Document.

8. Insolvency Proceedings.

8.1 Subordination Agreement. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to Endologix or any Grantor shall include Endologix or such Grantor as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for Endologix or such Grantor in any Insolvency Proceeding.

8.2 Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. In the event of any Insolvency Proceeding involving Endologix or any other Grantor:

(a) All First Lien Obligations shall first be Paid in Full and all commitments to lend under each First Lien Credit Agreement shall be terminated before any Distribution, whether in cash, securities, or other property, shall be made to the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Creditor on account of any Second Lien Obligations.

(b) Any Distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property which would otherwise, but for the terms hereof, be payable or deliverable in respect of the Second Lien Obligations shall be delivered to the First Lien Agents, and applied in accordance with the terms of the First Lien Loan Documents. Each of the Second Lien Agent and each other Second Lien Creditor irrevocably authorizes, empowers and directs any debtor, debtor-in-possession, receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or conservator, or other Person having authority, to pay or otherwise deliver all such Distributions to the First Lien Agents as set forth above. Each of the Second Lien Agent and each other Second Lien Creditor also irrevocably authorizes and empowers each First Lien Agent, in the name of the Second Lien Agent, to demand, sue for, collect and receive any and all such Distributions.

(c) Each of the Second Lien Agent and each other Second Lien Creditor agrees not to initiate, prosecute or participate in any claim, action or other proceeding challenging the enforceability, validity, perfection or priority of any portion of the First Lien Obligations or any Liens and security interests securing any portion of the First Lien Obligations.

(d) Each of the Second Lien Agent and each other Second Lien Creditor, agrees that the First Lien Creditors may consent to the use of cash collateral or provide (or consent to a third party providing) debtor-in-possession financing to Endologix or the other Grantors on such terms and conditions and in such amounts as the First Lien Creditors, in their sole discretion, may decide and, in connection therewith, Endologix and any other Grantor may grant to the First Lien Agents liens and security interests upon all of the property of Endologix or such Grantor, which liens and security interests (i) shall secure payment of all First Lien Obligations owing to the First Lien Creditors (whether such First Lien Obligations arose prior to the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding or at any time thereafter) and all other financing provided by the First Lien Creditors during such Insolvency Proceeding and (ii) shall be superior in priority to the Liens in favor of the Second Lien Agent and the Second Lien Creditors, if any. Each of the Second Lien Agent and each other Second Lien Creditor, agrees that it will not object to or oppose, and hereby affirmatively consents to and approves, any such cash collateral usage or debtor-in-possession financing or any sale or other disposition of any property securing all of any part of the First Lien Obligations free and clear

 

16


of security interests, liens, or other claims of any Second Lien Creditor under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, if the First Lien Creditors have consented to such sale or disposition. Each of the Second Lien Agent and each other Second Lien Creditor, agrees not to assert any right it may have to “adequate protection” of its interest in any Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding and agrees that it will not seek to have the automatic stay lifted with respect to any Collateral without the prior written consent of each First Lien Agent; provided that, such First Lien Agent will not object to any request by the Second Lien Agent for adequate protection replacement liens on all prepetition and postpetition property of Endologix upon which such First Lien Agent is also granted adequate protection replacement liens, with such liens in favor of the Second Lien Agent being subject in all respects to this Agreement; provided, further that, other than such replacement liens, the Second Lien Agent will not seek any other form of adequate protection. Each of the Second Lien Creditors waives any claim it may now or hereafter have against any First Lien Creditor arising out of the election of any First Lien Creditor of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or out of any cash collateral or financing arrangement or out of any grant of a security interest in connection with the Collateral in any Insolvency Proceeding. Each of the Second Lien Creditors agrees that it will not provide, or offer to provide, any debtor-in-possession financing to Endologix or any other Grantor without the prior written consent of each First Lien Agent. The Second Lien Creditor further agrees that it will not seek to participate on any creditor’s committee without the prior written consent of the First Lien Agents.

(e) The Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Creditors, agrees to execute, verify, deliver and file any proofs of claim in respect of the Second Lien Obligations reasonably requested by any First Lien Agent in connection with any such Insolvency Proceeding and hereby irrevocably authorizes such First Lien Agent as its agent and attorney-in-fact to (i) execute, verify, delivery and file such proofs of claim upon the failure of the Second Lien Agent to do so prior to ten (10) Business Days before the expiration of the time to file any such proof of claim and (ii) vote such claim in any such Insolvency Proceeding upon the failure of the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Creditor to do so prior to ten (10) days before the expiration of time to vote any such claim (for such voting purposes, the First Lien Agent shall be deemed to have subrogated to any rights of the Second Lien Creditors in respect of their claims in such Insolvency Proceeding); provided, however, that neither the First Lien Agents nor any First Lien Creditor shall have any obligation to execute, verify, deliver, and/or file any such claim; provided further, that if the Second Lien Agent or any Second Lien Creditor votes its claim, it shall not vote for any plan of reorganization that does not provide for the prior payment in full of the First Lien Obligations on the date of confirmation or effectiveness or otherwise vote its claims or interests in any Insolvency Proceeding (including voting for, or supporting, confirmation of any plan of reorganization) in a manner that would be inconsistent with such Second Lien Creditor’s covenants and agreements contained herein. For the avoidance of doubt, no First Lien Agent shall have an affirmative obligation to file any such proof of claim on behalf of any Second Lien Creditor. In the event that any First Lien Agent votes any claim in accordance with the authority granted hereby, neither any Second Lien Creditor nor the Second Lien Agent shall be entitled to change or withdraw such vote.

(f) Each Second Lien Creditors hereby appoint each First Lien Agent (or its designee) as its authorized agent and representative for purposes of taking any and all actions in any Insolvency Proceedings on the behalf of the Second Lien Creditors, including for purposes of voting such Second Lien Creditor’s claims in any such proceedings; and each Second Lien Creditor hereby agrees and acknowledges that the foregoing appointment and authorization are intended to be enforceable for all purposes under applicable law, including

 

17


Section 1126(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, and, in furtherance, due to, among other things, the requirement hereunder that during any such Insolvency Proceedings all First Lien Obligations be Paid in Full prior to any Distribution in respect of the Second Lien Obligations being permitted hereunder, any vote by any such authorized agent or representative shall be deemed conclusively, for all purposes, to have been consistent with, and in furtherance of, the interests of each Second Lien Creditor.

(g) The First Lien Obligations shall continue to be treated as First Lien Obligations and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to govern the relative rights and priorities of the First Lien Creditors and the Second Lien Creditors even if all or part of the First Lien Obligations or the Liens or security interests securing the First Lien Obligations are subordinated, set aside, avoided, invalidated or disallowed in connection with any such Insolvency Proceeding. This Agreement shall be reinstated if at any time any payment of any of the First Lien Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any holder of First Lien Obligations or any representative of such holder.

(h) Each of Endologix, each First Lien Agent, the Second Lien Agent and each other Second Lien Creditor acknowledges and agrees with respect to the Collateral that (i) the grants of Liens on the Collateral pursuant to the First Lien Loan Documents and the Second Lien Documents constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens, and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the First Lien Obligations and the Second Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from one another and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding of Endologix. To further effectuate the intent of the parties as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the claims of the First Lien Creditors and the Second Lien Creditors in respect of any Collateral, constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the First Lien Creditors shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them from, or in respect of, the Collateral in respect of principal, prepetition interest, fees, costs, expenses and other claims, all amounts owing in respect of postpetition interest, fees, costs, expenses and other charges, irrespective of whether a claim for such amounts is allowed or allowable in such liquidation or Insolvency Proceeding, before any Distribution from, or in respect of, any such Collateral is made in respect of the claims held by any Second Lien Creditor. The Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Creditors, hereby agrees to turn over to the First Lien Agents amounts otherwise received or receivable by it to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of the preceding sentence, regardless of whether such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of any Second Lien Creditor.

9. Miscellaneous.

9.1 Conflict. In the event of any conflict between any term, covenant, or condition of this Agreement and any term, covenant, or condition of the Second Lien Documents, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and govern.

9.2 Continuing Subordination; Termination of Agreement. This is a continuing agreement of subordination and the First Lien Creditors may continue, at any time and without notice to the Second Lien Creditors, to extend credit or other financial accommodations and loan monies to, or for the benefit of, Endologix on the faith hereof. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the First Lien Obligations have been Paid in Full, after which this Agreement shall terminate without further action on the part of the parties hereto.

 

18


9.3 Amendments; Modifications. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, whether oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Any modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or any consent to any departure by any party from the terms hereof, shall not be effective in any event unless the same is in writing and signed by each First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent, and then such modification, waiver, or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given. Any notice to or demand on any party hereto in any event not specifically required hereunder shall not entitle the party receiving such notice or demand to any other or further notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances unless specifically required hereunder. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the relative rights and obligations of the Facility Agent, on the one hand, and the ABL Agent, on the other hand, solely as among themselves, shall be governed by the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement.

9.4 No Subrogation. No Second Lien Creditor shall be subrogated to the rights of the First Lien Agents with respect to receipt of Distributions on account of the Second Lien Obligations unless and until all of the First Lien Obligations have been Paid in Full. For the purposes of such subrogation, no Distributions made to the holders of the First Lien Obligations to which any Second Lien Creditor would be entitled except for this Agreement, and no payments made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement to any First Lien Agent or any other First Lien Creditor by such Second Lien Creditor shall, as among Endologix, its creditors and such Second Lien Creditor, be deemed to be a payment by Endologix to or on account of the Second Lien Obligations. The Second Lien Agent, on behalf of itself and the other Second Lien Creditors, agrees that in the event that all or any part of a payment made with respect to the First Lien Obligations is recovered from the holders of the First Lien Obligations in an Insolvency Proceeding or otherwise, any Distribution received by the Second Lien Agent or any other Second Lien Creditor with respect to the Second Lien Obligations at any time after the date of the payment that is so recovered, whether pursuant to the right of subrogation provided for in this Agreement or otherwise, shall be deemed to have been received by such Second Lien Creditor in trust as property of the holders of the First Lien Obligations, and such Second Lien Creditor shall forthwith deliver the same to the First Lien Agents for application to the First Lien Obligations, until the First Lien Obligations have been Paid in Full.

9.5 No impairment. No right of the First Lien Creditors to enforce the provisions hereof shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act taken in good faith, or failure to act, which failure to act is in good faith, by the First Lien Creditors or by any non-compliance by Endologix with the terms and provisions and covenants herein. Each of the Second Lien Agent, each other Second Lien Creditor and Endologix agree not to take any action to avoid or to seek to avoid the observance and performance of the terms and conditions hereof, and shall at all times in good faith carry out all such terms and conditions.

9.6 Second Lien Obligations Not Affected. The subordination provisions of this Agreement are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of the Second Lien Creditors, on the one hand, and the First Lien Creditors, on the other hand, as among themselves. Subject to this Agreement, as between Endologix and the Second Lien Agent, nothing contained herein shall impair the unconditional and absolute obligation of Endologix to the Second Lien Agent to pay the Second Lien Obligations as they become due and payable. No Person other than the First Lien Creditors and the Second Lien Creditors and their respective successors and assigns shall have any rights hereunder.

9.7 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the respective successors and assigns of the First Lien Creditors, the Second Lien Creditors and Endologix. To the extent permitted under the First Lien Loan Documents, the First

Lien Creditors may, from time to time, without notice to the Second Lien Agent, assign or transfer any or all of the First Lien Obligations or any interest therein to any Person and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer, or any subsequent assignment or transfer, the First Lien Obligations shall, subject to the terms hereof, be and remain First Lien Obligations for purposes of this Agreement, and every permitted assignee or transferee of any of the First Lien Obligations or of any interest therein shall, to the extent of the interest of such permitted assignee or transferee in the First Lien Obligations, be entitled to rely upon and be the third party beneficiary of the subordination provided under this Agreement and shall be entitled to enforce the terms and provisions hereof to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were initially a party hereto. Each Second Lien Creditor further acknowledges that this Agreement will inure to the benefit of any third Person who refinances or succeeds to or replaces any or all of the First Lien Obligations, whether such successor financing or replacement occurs by transfer, assignment or repayment, without the necessity of any further writing; provided, however, each Second Lien Creditor agrees, upon the request of such third Person, to execute and deliver an agreement with such Person containing terms substantially identical to those contained herein (subject to changing names of parties, documents and addresses, as appropriate).

9.8 First Lien Creditors’ Rights and Remedies. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges of each First Lien Creditor hereunder (hereinafter, the “First Lien Creditors’ Rights and Remedies”) shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which it would otherwise have. No delay or omission by any First Lien Creditor in exercising or enforcing any of the First Lien Creditors’ Rights and Remedies shall operate as, or constitute, a waiver thereof. No waiver by any First Lien Creditor of any of the First Lien Creditors’ Rights and Remedies or of any default or remedy under this Agreement or any other agreement with Endologix or any Second Lien Creditor shall operate as a waiver of any other default hereunder or thereunder. No exercise of the First Lien Creditors’ Rights and Remedies and no other agreement or transaction, of whatever nature, entered into between any First Lien Creditor and the Second Lien Creditors and/or between any First Lien Creditor and Endologix at any time shall preclude any other or further exercise of the First Lien Creditors’ Rights and Remedies. No waiver by any First Lien Senior Creditor of any of the First Lien Creditors’ Rights and Remedies on any one occasion shall be deemed a continuing waiver. All of the First Lien Creditors’ Rights and Remedies and all of the First Lien Creditors’ rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement and any other agreement with the Second Lien Creditors and/or Endologix shall be cumulative, and not alternative or exclusive, and may be exercised by the First Lien Creditors at such time or times and in such order of preference as the First Lien Creditors in their sole discretion may determine.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, but subject to the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement,

 

13


without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Company or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses (other than defense of payment), advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of Agent or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as they may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery with assumption of any credit risk. Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Company, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. The Company further agrees, at Agent’s request, if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, but subject to the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at places which Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Company’s premises or elsewhere in connection with the exercise of Agent’s remedies hereunder. Agent shall apply the net Proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 6.6, after deducting all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of Agent hereunder, to the payment in whole or in part of the Secured Obligations, as set forth in Section 6.5 hereof.

If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least 10 calendar days before such sale or other disposition. Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notification of sale having been given. Agent may adjourn any public sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. The Company agrees that (A) the internet shall constitute a “place” for purposes of Section 9-610(b) of the Code and (B) to the extent notification of sale shall be required by law, notification by mail of the URL where a sale will occur and the time when a sale will commence at least ten (10) days prior to the sale shall constitute a reasonable notification for purposes of Section 9-611(b) of the Code. The Company agrees that any sale of Collateral to a licensor pursuant to the terms of a license agreement between such licensor and the Company is sufficient to constitute a commercially reasonable sale (including as to method, terms, manner, and time) within the meaning of Section 9-610 of the Code.

6.7 Private Sale. The Company recognizes that Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state or foreign securities laws or otherwise, or may otherwise determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not commercially reasonable, and, accordingly, and may resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers that will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Company acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Pledged Collateral or Pledged Investment Property for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer thereof to register such securities or other interests for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state or foreign securities laws, even if such Issuer would agree to do so.

The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the

 

14


Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property pursuant to this Section 6.7 and Section 6.10 hereof valid and binding and in compliance with Applicable Law. The Company further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained herein will cause irreparable injury to Agent and the other Secured Parties, that Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained herein shall be specifically enforceable against the Company (except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally), and the Company hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants. Until all of the Secured Obligations are Paid in Full, the Company postpones until such date any and all rights of contribution or subrogation upon the sale or disposition of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral and Pledged Investment Property by Agent.

6.8 Deficiency. The Company shall remain liable for any deficiency if the Proceeds of any sale or other disposition of any Collateral are insufficient to Pay in Full the Secured Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by Agent or any other Secured Party to collect such deficiency.

6.9 Licenses. Solely for the purpose of enabling Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) to exercise rights and remedies following and during the continuation of an Event of Default (including in order to take possession of, collect, receive, assemble, process, appropriate, remove, realize upon, sell, assign, convey, transfer or grant options to purchase any Collateral), the Company hereby grants to Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, (i) an irrevocable, nonexclusive license (exercisable without payment of royalty or other compensation to the Company) including in such license the right to use, practice, license or sublicense any Intellectual Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Company, and wherever the same may be located, and including in such license access to all media in which any of the licensed items may be recorded or stored and to all computer software and programs used for the compilation or printout thereof, and (ii) an irrevocable license (without payment of rent or other compensation to the Company) to use, operate and occupy all Real Estate owned, operated, leased, subleased or otherwise occupied by the Company; provided, in each case, that no such licenses shall be granted with respect to any Excluded Property.

6.10 Disposition of Collateral. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the fullest extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, Agent may, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon the Company or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default (personally or through its agents or attorneys), but subject to the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, (i) enter upon the premises where any Collateral is located, without any obligation to pay rent, through self-help, without judicial process, without first obtaining a final judgment or giving the Company or any other Person notice or opportunity for a hearing on Agent’s claim or action, (ii) collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon any Collateral and (iii) sell, assign, convey, transfer, grant option or options to purchase and deliver any Collateral (and enter into contractual obligations to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of any Secured Party or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. Agent shall have the right, upon any such public sale or sales and, to the extent permitted by the UCC and other Applicable Law, upon any such private sale, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption of the Company, which right or equity is hereby waived and released.

6.11 Management of the Collateral. The Company further agrees, that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and to the fullest extent not prohibited by Applicable Law and, in each case, subject to the terms of the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement (if applicable), (i) at Agent’s written request, it shall assemble the Collateral and make it available to Agent at places that Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Company’s premises or elsewhere (including without limitation, causing any Collateral located outside of the United States to be delivered to a location inside the United States), (ii) without limiting the foregoing, Agent also has the right to require that the Company store and keep any Collateral pending further action by Agent and, while any such Collateral is so stored or kept, provide such guards and maintenance services as shall be necessary to protect the same and to preserve and maintain such Collateral in good condition, (iii) until Agent is able to sell, assign, convey or transfer any Collateral, Agent shall have the right to hold or use such Collateral to the extent that it deems appropriate for the purpose of preserving the Collateral or its value or for any other purpose deemed appropriate by Agent, and (iv) Agent may, if it so elects, seek the appointment of a receiver or keeper to take possession of any Collateral and to enforce any of Agent’s remedies (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), with respect to such appointment without prior notice or hearing as to such appointment. Agent shall not have any obligation to the Company to maintain or preserve the rights of the Company as against third parties with respect to any Collateral while such Collateral is in the possession of Agent.

6.12 Direct Obligation. Neither Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be required to make any demand upon, or pursue or exhaust any right or remedy against, the Company or any other Person with respect to the payment of the Secured Obligations or to pursue or exhaust any right or remedy with respect to any Collateral therefor or any direct or indirect guaranty thereof All of the rights and remedies of Agent and any other Secured Party under any Security Document shall be cumulative, may be exercised individually or concurrently and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by any Applicable Law. To the extent it may lawfully do so, the Company absolutely and irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and covenants not to assert against Agent or any other Secured Party, any valuation, stay, appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all rights or defenses it may have as a surety, now or hereafter existing, arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of any Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) calendar days before such sale or other disposition.

6.13 Commercially Reasonable. To the extent that any Applicable Law impose duties on Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, the Company acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for Agent to do any of the following:

(a) fail to incur significant costs, expenses or other Liabilities reasonably deemed as such by Agent to prepare any Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw material or work in process into finished goods or other finished products for disposition;

(b) fail to obtain permits, or other consents, for access to any Collateral to sell or for the collection or sale of any Collateral, or, if not required by other Applicable Law, fail to obtain Permits or other consents for the collection or disposition of any Collateral;

(c) fail to exercise remedies against account debtors or other Persons obligated on any Collateral or to remove Liens on any Collateral or to remove any adverse claims against any Collateral;

 

16


(d) advertise dispositions of any Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature, or to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Company, for expressions of interest in acquiring any such Collateral;

(e) exercise collection remedies against account debtors and other Persons obligated on any Collateral, directly or through the use of collection agencies or other collection specialists, hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of any Collateral, whether or not such Collateral is of a specialized nature, or, to the extent deemed appropriate by Agent, obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist Agent in the collection or disposition of any Collateral, or utilize Internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets to dispose of any Collateral;

(f) dispose of assets in wholesale rather than retail markets;

(g) disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment; or

(h) purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of any Collateral or to provide to Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of any Collateral.

The Company acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 6.13 is to provide a non-exhaustive list of actions or omissions that are commercially reasonable when exercising remedies against any Collateral and that other actions or omissions by any Secured Party shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 6.13. Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 6.13 shall be construed to grant any rights to the Company or to impose any duties on Agent or any other Secured Party that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by Applicable Law in the absence of this Section 6.13.

7.3 Duty; Obligations and Liabilities.

(a) Agent’s sole duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession shall be to deal with it in the same manner as Agent deals with similar property for its own account. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder are solely to protect Agent’s interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon Agent to exercise any such powers. Agent shall be accountable only for amounts that it receives as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates, directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel or advisors shall be responsible to the Company or any other Person for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct, in each case, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order. In addition, Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or damage to any Collateral, or for any diminution in the value thereof, by reason of the act or omission of any warehousemen, carrier, forwarding agency, consignee or other bailee if such Person has been selected by Agent in good faith.

(b) No Secured Party and no Affiliates, directors, partners, officers, employees, agents, counsel or advisors thereof shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any Collateral or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Collateral upon the request of the Company or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to any Collateral. The powers conferred on Agent hereunder shall not impose any duty upon any other Secured Party to exercise any such powers. The other Secured Parties shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be responsible to the Company for any act

 

19


or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable order.

(c) The Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (ii) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by Holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding amount of the Notes outstanding (or by the Trustee acting upon such direction); provided that the Collateral Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Collateral Agent to liability, for which it is not indemnified to its satisfaction, or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law, (iii) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (1) with the consent or at the request Holders or the Trustee or (2) in the absence of its own gross negligence, willful misconduct or (3) in reliance on a certificate of an authorized officer of the Company stating that such action is permitted by the terms of this Agreement and the Indenture.

(d) The Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (1) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (2) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (3) the performance or observance by any other Person of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, (4) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Security Document, the Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the security interest, (5) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral or (6) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in any agreement, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.

(e) The Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company and the Trustee; provided that no such resignation shall take effect until a successor Agent has been appointed and has agreed to act as such under this Agreement and the Indenture. Upon notice of any such resignation, the Company shall promptly (and no later than within 30 days) appoint a successor to the Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations. After any retiring Agent’s resignation as Agent, the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent. If the Company fails to appoint a successor Agent within 30 days, the Agent may (at the Company’s expense) petition a court of competent jurisdiction to do so.

(f) No provision of the Indenture or any Security Document will require the Agent to expend or risk its own funds or incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or under any other Security Document or the Indenture or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Agent will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and powers hereunder or under the Indenture or any other Security Document at the request or direction of the Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding, unless it has been offered security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

 

20


(g) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Company or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, or that the Collateral Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, maintained or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to determine whether the Company’s property constituting collateral intended to be subject to the Lien and security interest of the Security Documents has been properly and completely listed or delivered, as the case may be, or the genuineness, validity, marketability or sufficiency thereof or title thereto, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure, or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities, and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent pursuant to the Indenture or any Security Document other than pursuant to the instructions of the Holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding amount of the Notes outstanding in accordance with the Indenture or as otherwise provided in the Security Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to the Trustee or any Holder as to any of the foregoing.

(h) Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to any Collateral located outside of the United States (“Foreign Collateral”), the Agent shall have no obligation to directly enforce, or exercise rights and remedies in respect of, or otherwise exercise any judicial action or appear before any court in any jurisdiction outside of the United States. To the extent the Holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding amount of Notes outstanding determine that it is necessary or advisable in connection with any enforcement or exercise of rights with respect to Foreign Collateral to exercise any judicial action or appear before any such court, the Holders of a majority in aggregate outstanding amount of Notes outstanding shall be entitled to direct the Agent to appoint a local agent for such purpose (subject to the receipt of such protections, security and indemnities as the Agent shall determine in its sole discretion to protect the Agent from liability).

(i) The Agent shall enjoy all the rights, benefits, protections, immunities and indemnities granted to it under the Indenture.

Endologix Announces Debt Restructuring Addressing 2020 Maturities

IRVINE, Calif., February 24, 2020 – Endologix, Inc. (Nasdaq: ELGX) (“Endologix” or the “Company”), a developer and marketer of innovative treatments for aortic disorders, announced today that it has entered into an exchange agreement with three holders of the Company’s 3.25% Senior Convertible Notes due 2020 (the “Existing Notes”), pursuant to which these investors exchanged an aggregate of approximately $11.0 million of the Existing Notes plus accrued interest for approximately $11.1 million of 5.0% Voluntary Convertible Senior Secured Notes due 2024 (the “New Notes”). This agreement will replace the Company’s existing 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020 for those investors.

The Company and certain funds managed by Deerfield Management Company, L.P. (collectively, “Deerfield”) also agreed to amend their existing facility agreement and credit agreement to extend near-term mandatory amortization payments and provide for certain conversion rights and obligations pertaining to the Company’s debt to Deerfield.

“We are very pleased to announce these debt restructuring transactions, which enables us to address our balance sheet in a responsible manner, over time. I’m very grateful to our finance and legal teams and to our supportive partners who worked to build conversion features that will help us execute against key milestones, including the Nellix PMA. This agreement allows us to keep capital on the balance sheet and remain focused on business execution in pursuit of delivering value to our patients, customers, and shareholders,” commented John Onopchenko, Chief Executive Officer of Endologix, Inc.


Vaseem Mahboob, Chief Financial Officer of Endologix, Inc., commented, “This debt restructuring addresses our near-term balance sheet overhang and provides a pathway to significantly deleverage our debt and achieve operating cash flow breakeven in 2021. As we continue to execute our commercial evidence-based strategies to grow and prudently manage our operating costs, we believe that Endologix is well positioned to achieve its near-term financial goals while creating a path to long-term profitable growth and shareholder value.”

DLA Piper and Jefferies LLC served as legal counsel and financial advisor to the Company, respectively.

1. Convertible Note Exchange

On February 24, 2020, the Company and three investors holding approximately $11.0 million of the principal amount of the Company’s Existing Notes (the “Holders”) entered into an Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) providing for the exchange of the Holders’ Existing Notes for the New Notes. The exchanging Holders are exchanging all outstanding principal plus accrued and unpaid interest under the Existing Notes into the same amount of principal of New Notes pursuant to the Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange”). The New Notes are being issued in a transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) by virtue of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 506 thereunder.

The New Notes will be governed by an Indenture (the “Indenture”), by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The New Notes will accrue interest at a rate of 5.00% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing April 1, 2020. The New Notes will mature on April 3, 2024, unless earlier purchased, redeemed or converted in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The Indenture governing the New Notes will contain customary terms and covenants and events of default.

The New Notes will be convertible at the option of each Holder into shares of common stock at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2024; provided that, except if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) and for certain other customary circumstances of conversion, each Holder may not convert more than 30% the initial


aggregate principal amount of its outstanding New Notes per calendar quarter (a “Voluntary Conversion”). Beginning January 1, 2024, until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date, the New Notes will be convertible at the option of the holder at any time regardless of the conditions described in this paragraph. The initial conversion rate of the New Notes in a Voluntary Conversion is 0.4445 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1.00 principal amount of the New Notes, which is equivalent to an initial conversion price per share equal to $2.25 (the “Conversion Price”). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events. Except if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture) and for certain other customary circumstances of conversion, in no event prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding January 1, 2024 may the New Notes be converted in a calendar quarter unless the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least twenty (20) trading days during the period of thirty (30) consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 110% of the Conversion Price (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain specified events) (the “Voluntary Conversion Threshold”).

The New Notes will be secured by the Company’s assets pursuant to a Junior Lien Security Agreement by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent (the “JLSA”). The JLSA grants a second lien on the Company’s assets that is second in priority to the security interests granted (i) to Deerfield (as defined below), as agent, pursuant to the Amended and Restated Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated August 9, 2018, by and among Endologix, Inc., its subsidiaries and Deerfield, as agent, as amended to date and (ii) to Deerfield ELGX Revolver, LLC, as agent (“Deerfield ELGX”), pursuant to the Guaranty and Security Agreement, dated as of August 9, 2018, by and among Endologix, Inc., its subsidiaries and Deerfield ELGX, as agent, as amended to date. In connection with the issuance of the New Notes, the parties entered into Subordination and Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of February 24, 2020, by and among the Company, Deerfield, Deerfield ELGX and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as collateral agent (the “Subordination Agreement”).    The Subordination Agreement contains customary provisions associated with the subordination of the security interest of the New Notes.


The Indenture will provide that in no event may a Holder convert any portion of the New Notes into shares of common stock if such conversion would result in the Holder beneficially owning more that 9.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Facility Agreement

On February 24, 2020, the Company entered into a February 2020 Exchange Agreement and Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Facility Agreement and Amendment to First Out Waterfall Notes (the “Facility Amendment”) with Deerfield Private Design Fund IV, L.P. and certain of its related funds and affiliates (collectively, “Deerfield”), dated August 9, 2018 (as amended to date, the “Facility Agreement”). The Facility Amendment provides for, among other things, the conversion of certain portions of the outstanding convertible debt under the Facility Agreement upon the achievement of certain milestones. In addition, the principal amortization payment of first out waterfall loans (the “First Out Waterfall Loans”) currently due on April 2, 2021 (the “First Amortization Payment”) will be extended to July 1, 2021. In the event the Company satisfies the Initial Exchange Condition (as defined below) the maturity date shall be extended from April 2, 2023 to December 22, 2023 (the “Maturity Date”). Further, the Facility Amendment provides that the interest payment date due April 1, 2020 will be payable in paid-in-kind interest by increasing the principal amount of the loans by an amount equal to the interest that has accrued.

The Facility Amendment provides for the exchange of the existing notes representing the First Out Waterfall Loans for amended notes (the “Amended First Out Waterfall Notes”). The Amended First Out Waterfall Notes reduce the fixed conversion price under the existing notes from $6.625 to $2.00 (the “Fixed Conversion Price”), provided that if the Initial Exchange Condition (as defined below) is not met by June 30, 2020, then such price shall revert to $6.625. The Amended First Out Waterfall Notes provide that the Company may require Deerfield to convert up to $40,000,000 of principal amount (the “Forced Conversion Cap”) provided that the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on each of the fifteen (15) consecutive trading days ending on the conversion date (the “Forced Conversion 15 Day VWAP”), and the closing price on the conversion date is greater than 200% of the Fixed Conversion Price into shares of the Company’s newly created Series DF-1


Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at a price per share equal to the product of (i) the Preferred Exchange Rate (as defined below) and (ii) and 85% of the lesser of the closing price of the common stock on such conversion date (the “Closing Price”) and the Forced Conversion 15 Day VWAP, provided that such lesser price is greater than or equal to 170% of the Fixed Conversion Price (each such conversion, a “Forced Conversion”). A Forced Conversion may only occur once every 31 calendar days and any individual Forced Conversion may not exceed the lesser of (i) $3,500,000 or (ii) the Forced Conversion Cap less any prior Forced Conversions or Discretionary Conversions (as defined below).

Deerfield also has the option to convert up to $60.0 million (less any amounts converted pursuant to Forced Conversions) of the Company’s outstanding debt (any such conversion, a “Discretionary Conversion”) into, at Deerfield’s option and subject to the Ownership Cap, shares of Common Stock at a rate equal to the greater of the Fixed Conversion Price and 85% of the arithmetic average of the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on each of the fifteen (15) consecutive trading days prior to the conversion date (the “15 Day VWAP”), provided that such conversion price is not less than the Floor Price (the “Discretionary Common Conversion Rate”) or shares of Preferred Stock at a rate (the “Discretionary Preferred Conversion Rate”) equal to the product of (i) the Preferred Exchange Rate (as defined below) multiplied by (ii) the Discretionary Common Conversion Rate.

The Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at an initial rate of 100 shares of common stock for each share of Preferred Stock, as may be adjusted pursuant to the Certificate of Designation of Preferences, Rights and Limitations of Series DF-1 Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designation”) (the “Preferred Exchange Rate”). Pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, 1,150,000 shares of Preferred Stock have been authorized for issuance. The Preferred Stock does not possess any voting rights. The Preferred Stock is subject to customary adjustments for stock events. The Preferred Stock provides that in no event may Deerfield convert the Preferred Stock into shares of common stock if such conversion would result in Deerfield beneficially owning more that 4.985% of the Company’s outstanding common stock (the “Ownership Cap”).


The Amended First Out Waterfall Notes also revises Deerfield’s existing right to convert a portion of the outstanding principal amount of the First Out Waterfall Loan into a maximum of 1,430,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the current conversion price to Deerfield may, at its option, convert such portion of the First Out Waterfall Loans into 1,430,000 shares of common stock at the greater of the Fixed Conversion Price and 85% of the 15 Day VWAP, or the equivalent number of shares of Preferred Stock at the Discretionary Conversion Rate.

The Facility Amendment provides that, in the event that on or prior to the ninetieth (90th) day following the receipt of regulatory approval to sell the Company’s Ovation Alto Abdominal Stent Graft System (“Alto”) in the United States, but in any event no later than June 30, 2020, net sales of Alto shall be in excess of $1,000,000 (the “Initial Exchange Condition”), Deerfield will exchange 8.333%of the principal amount of the First Out Waterfall Notes, including any such principal that has resulted from payment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest payments made on or prior to such date, plus any accrued PIK interest through such exchange date into shares of Preferred Stock (the “Initial Exchange”) at a rate equal to the Preferred Exchange Rate multiplied by $0.8282 (the “Floor Price”). In addition, upon consummation of the Initial Exchange and provided that the Company reports net revenue of at least $142.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and complies with the global excess liquidity requirement, payment of the remaining portion of the First Amortization Payment will be extended until the Second Amortization Date (as defined in the Facility Agreement) and Maturity Date in accordance with the Facility Agreement.

In addition, in the event that the Initial Exchange has occurred and the Company completes the first submission to the FDA of a full PMA application with respect to the Nellix EVAS System on or prior to September 30, 2021, Deerfield will exchange $2,500,000 into shares of Preferred Stock (the “Nellix Submission Exchange”) at a rate (the “Conditional Exchange Rate”) equal to the product of the (i) Preferred Exchange Rate multiplied by (ii) the 85% of the lesser of (x) the Closing Price and (y) the 15 Day VWAP (the “Conditional Price”). In the event that the Initial Exchange and the Nellix Submission Exchange have occurred and the Company receives the PMA from the FDA with respect to the Nellix EVAS System as shall be necessary for the sale of the Nellix EVAS System in the United States on or prior to June 30, 2022 (the “Nellix Approval Exchange Condition”), Deerfield will exchange $7,500,000


into shares of Preferred Stock (the “Nellix Approval Exchange”) at the Conditional Exchange Rate. In the event that the Initial Exchange, the Nellix Submission Exchange and the Nellix Approval Exchange have occurred and net sales of the Nellix EVAS System are in excess of $10,000,000 within nine months of satisfaction of the Nellix Approval Exchange Condition, Deerfield will exchange $10,000,000 into shares of Preferred Stock (the “Nellix Sales Exchange”) at the Conditional Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the above, none of the foregoing exchanges shall take place if the Conditional Price at the time of such exchange is less than the Floor Price.

The Facility Amendment provides that if, during the period beginning on the first business day following satisfaction of the Initial Exchange Condition and ending on the date that is three months thereafter, the Company completes an equity financing resulting in net proceeds to the Company of at least $5,000,000, and subject to certain other conditions set forth in the Facility Amendment, then Deerfield will exchange $0.50 of principal of First Out Waterfall Notes for each $1 of net proceeds up to an aggregate of $20 million in net proceeds into shares of Preferred Stock at a rate equal to the Preferred Exchange Rate multiplied by the lowest price per share of common stock purchased in such financing, provided that such price per share is not less than the Floor Price. Deerfield would also receive the number of such other securities, if any, issued with each share of common stock sold in such financing for each as-converted share of Common Stock issued to Deerfield.

Further, the Facility Amendment also provides, upon the effectiveness, the Company shall pay a restructuring fee of $2,000,000 in cash or a combination of shares of common stock at the Floor Price or shares of Preferred Stock at a rate equal to the product of the Floor Price multiplied by the Preferred Exchange Rate.

The Facility Amendment provides that, upon the satisfaction of the Initial Exchange Condition, the Company will amend the outstanding warrants (the “Warrant Amendment”) to purchase 647,001 shares of common stock previously issued to Deerfield pursuant to the Company’s prior facility agreement with Deerfield dated April 3, 2017 (as amended, the “2017 Warrants”) and warrants to purchase 875,001 shares of common stock previously issued to Deerfield pursuant to the Facility Agreement (as amended,


the “2018 Warrants” and, together with the 2017 Warrants, the “Warrants”) to reduce the exercise price of the Warrants to $1.50. All other material terms and conditions of the Warrants remain the same.

The Facility Amendment also provides that, upon completion of the Initial Exchange, the interest payments on the First Out Waterfall Notes will be due monthly for 18 months beginning with the first calendar month following completion of the Initial Exchange. The Company will, subject to certain conditions precedent, make such interest payments in shares of Preferred Stock at a rate equal to the product of (i) the Preferred Exchange Rate as of the interest payment date multiplied by (ii) ninety percent (90%) of the lesser of (a) the closing price on the date immediately preceding the interest payment date and (b) the 15 Day VWAP immediately preceding the interest payment date.

Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement

On February 24, 2020, the Company entered into a Fourth Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Credit Amendment”) with Deerfield ELGX Revolver, LLC and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Deerfield”), dated August 9, 2018 (as amended to date, the “Credit Agreement”). The Credit Amendment includes conforming revisions to reflect the changes in the Facility Amendment. In addition, the Credit Amendment provides that if the Company satisfies the Initial Exchange Condition, the Credit Agreement maturity date will extend to the earlier of (i) December 22, 2023 or (ii) the date the loans pursuant to the Facility Agreement have been repaid in full.
