Except as expressly permitted in the DIP Documents, in the event that any Secured Party obtains payment in respect of the DIP Obligations due and payable to such Secured Party in excess of its ratable share, such Secured Party shall hold the proceeds thereof in trust for the DIP Agent and shall immediately turnover such proceeds to the DIP Agent for application in accordance with the DIP Documents.

DIP Agent Appointment, Etc.:

Each DIP Lender hereby irrevocably appoints Third Eye Capital Corporation to act on its behalf as the DIP Agent hereunder and under the other DIP Documents and authorizes the DIP Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of the DIP Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are delegated to it by the terms of the DIP Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  


As to any matters not expressly provided for by the DIP Documents, the DIP Agent shall act or refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so doing) upon the joint instructions of the Majority Lenders which instructions shall be binding upon all DIP Lenders. The DIP Agent shall not be required to take any action which (i) would expose it to personal liability, (ii) is contrary to any DIP Document or any applicable law, rule, regulation, judgment or order, (iii) would require it to become registered to do business in any jurisdiction, or (iv) would subject it to taxation. The provisions of this section are solely for the benefit of the DIP Agent and the Lenders, and no Debtor shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term "agent" herein or in any other DIP Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the DIP 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 as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.


The DIP Agent shall have no duties or obligations other than as set out in the DIP Documents and there shall not be construed against the DIP Agent any implied duties (including fiduciary duties), obligations or covenants. The DIP Agent may execute or perform, and may delegate the execution and performance of, any of its powers, rights, discretions and duties under the DIP Documents through or to any persons designated by it. References in any DIP Document to the DIP Agent shall include references to any such persons.


The DIP Agent is not obliged to (i) take or refrain from taking any action or exercise or refrain from exercising any right or discretion under the DIP Documents, or (ii) incur or subject itself to any cost in connection with the DIP Documents, unless it is first specifically indemnified or furnished with security by the DIP Lenders, in form and substance satisfactory to it (which may include further agreements of indemnity or the deposit of funds).


The DIP Agent shall promptly deliver to each DIP Lender any notices, reports or other communications contemplated in this Term Sheet which are intended for the benefit of the DIP Lenders.


Neither the DIP Agent nor any of its Related Persons shall be liable to the DIP Lenders for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them in connection with the DIP Documents except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction on a final and non-appealable basis. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the DIP Agent (i) may consult with legal counsel (including legal counsel for the Debtors), independent accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in accordance with their advice, (ii) makes no warranty or representation to the DIP Lenders and shall not be responsible to the DIP Lenders for the form, substance, accuracy or completeness of any DIP Document or any other documents or information made available to the DIP Lenders, (iii) has no duty to inspect the property or assets (including books and records) of any Debtor or any other person, (iv) has no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the existence of a Default or an Event of Default or the observance of any of the terms or conditions of the DIP Documents, (v) is not responsible to the DIP Lenders for the execution, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of any of the DIP Documents or for the validity, perfection or priority of any lien created or purported to be created under the DIP Documents, and (vi) shall incur no liability by acting upon any notice, certificate or other instrument believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper person. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of any DIP Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a DIP Lender, the DIP Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such DIP Lender unless the DIP Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such DIP Lender prior to the making of such DIP Loan.
