PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

 

WHEREAS, the Holders party hereto hold certain of those 9.750% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”) that are issued by the Issuer and governed by that certain Indenture dated as of May 16, 2012, by and among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee thereunder (in such capacity, the “Trustee”), and Citibank, National Association as paying agent, registrar and authenticating agent (in such capacities, the “Paying Agent”) (such Indenture, as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture” and the holders of the Notes issued pursuant to the Indenture that are party hereto, the “Holders”);

 

WHEREAS, the Issuer has asked the Holders to temporarily forbear from exercising, or directing the Trustee to exercise, certain rights and remedies in respect of the Indenture or Notes related to the Anticipated Defaults (as hereinafter defined);

 

WHEREAS, upon the terms and conditions contained herein, the Holders party hereto are prepared to temporarily forbear from exercising, or directing the Trustee to exercise, certain rights and remedies available to them at law, in equity or by agreement as a result of such Anticipated Defaults upon the terms set forth herein, without waiving any of their other rights or remedies;

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the forbearance described herein and the transaction contemplated in the Sixth Amendment (the “Sixth Amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, to the Issuer’s Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2014 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, including by the Sixth Amendment, the “First Lien Credit Agreement”), by and among the Issuer, each of the lenders party thereto and Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, the Holders have agreed to consent to the Proposed Amendment (as defined below) to the Indenture; and

 

WHEREAS, the Holders are prepared and herein agree to consent to the Proposed Amendment upon the terms and subject to the conditions to be set forth in customary consent solicitation materials and through a customary consent solicitation process (the “Consent Solicitation”) for such Proposed Amendment in substantially the form contemplated by the Eighth Supplemental Indenture to the Indenture and attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Supplemental Indenture”).

 



 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, representations and warranties contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

Section 1.              Definitions.  Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Indenture.

 

Section 2.              Acknowledgments by the Issuer.  The Issuer acknowledges and agrees as follows:

 

(a)           Anticipated Defaults.  The following defaults, Defaults or Events of Default have arisen on or prior to the date hereof and/or may arise after the date hereof under the Indenture: (i) a Default under Section 6.01(1) of the Indenture as a result of the failure of the Issuer to make the interest payment under the Notes due on November 15, 2015, (ii) a Default under Section 6.01(4) of the Indenture as a result of a breach of the debt incurrence covenant under Section 4.05 of the Indenture, and (iii) a Default under Section 6.01(5)(A) of the Indenture as a result of the failure of the Issuer to make any interest payment otherwise due under the Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2014 by and between the Issuer, Credit Suisse AG, Cayman Islands Branch, as administrative and collateral agent, and the Lenders from time to time party thereto (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise from time to time, the “Second Lien Term Loan”) due on October 30, 2015.  The Issuer anticipates that these Defaults will each constitute an Event of Default under Sections 6.01(1), 6.01(4) or 6.01(5)(A), as applicable, of the Indenture upon expiration of any applicable grace period provided and/or the satisfaction of the notice requirement provided.  The defaults, Defaults and Events of Default described in this paragraph are referred to herein as the “Anticipated Defaults.”

 

(b)           Reservation of Rights.  Except for the rights, powers and remedies which the Holders agree to forbear from exercising during the Forbearance Period in connection with the Anticipated Defaults pursuant to Section 3 below, the Issuer and each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that the Trustees and the Holders hereby reserve all rights, powers and remedies under the Indenture and the Notes, as applicable, and applicable law in connection with any violation or noncompliance by the Issuer or any Guarantor with the terms of the Indenture and Notes, as applicable.

 

Section 3.              Forbearance by the Holders Party Hereto.

 

(a)           Forbearance Period.            At the request of the Issuer, the Holders party hereto hereby agree, subject to the terms and conditions herein, (i) to forbear from the exercise of their rights and remedies, whether at law (including, without limitation, any such rights and remedies arising under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939), in equity, by agreement or otherwise, available to the Holders as a result of the Anticipated Defaults and (ii) to the extent that the Trustee accelerates the Notes during the Forbearance Period solely in connection with any Anticipated Default, each of the Holders party hereto (which, in the aggregate, beneficially hold in excess of

 

2



 

fifty percent of all Notes issued) shall vote to decelerate or reverse the acceleration to the extent the Holders are entitled to decelerate or reverse the acceleration pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, until the earliest of (the “Forbearance Termination Date” and the period beginning on the Effective Date and terminating on the Forbearance Termination Date being hereinafter referred to as the “Forbearance Period”):

 

(A)          December 30, 2015;

 

(B)          the filing of a chapter 11 case (or cases) by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries;

 

(C)          the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Indenture other than an Anticipated Default; and

 

(D)          the occurrence of an Event of Default under the First Lien Credit Agreement (subject to a grace period of 10 business days and the benefits of any waivers thereof).

 

(b)           The forbearance contemplated in this Section 3 is limited in nature and nothing contained herein is intended, or shall be deemed or construed (i) to constitute a waiver of any of the Anticipated Defaults or any other Defaults or Events of Default or, except as expressly set forth herein, compliance with any term or provision of the Indenture or applicable law, (ii) to establish a custom or course of dealing between the Issuer, on the one hand, and the Trustee and/or any Holder, on the other hand, (iii) to toll any grace or cure period with respect to any Anticipated Defaults or any other Defaults or Events of Default under the underlying agreements, or (iv) to impair, impact, disallow or reduce any Holder’s claim for payment in full of all interest due (without regard to this forbearance) in connection with any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy filing or proceeding by the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries.

 

(c)           Termination of Forbearance Period.  The Issuer acknowledges and agrees that upon the occurrence of the Forbearance Termination Date, the provisions of this Section 3 shall automatically and immediately terminate without any further action by, or notice being due from the Trustee or any Holder, and the Holders party hereto may proceed (but are not required), to the extent an Event of Default is then continuing to exercise any and all rights and remedies which such Holders may have upon the occurrence of an Event of Default to the extent an Event of Default is then outstanding, including, if an Event of Default is then outstanding, declaring the Notes, as applicable, to be immediately due and payable in accordance with the Indenture, as applicable.

 

(d)           Acknowledgment Regarding Forbearance.  The Issuer acknowledges that none of the Holders party hereto has made any assurances concerning (i) any possibility of an extension of the Forbearance Period; (ii) the manner in which or whether the Anticipated Defaults may be resolved; or (iii) any additional forbearance, waiver, restructuring or other accommodations.  The Issuer agrees that the running of all statutes of limitation and the doctrine of laches applicable to all claims or causes of action that the Holders party hereto may be entitled to take or bring in order to enforce their rights and remedies against the Issuer are, to the fullest extent permitted by law, tolled and suspended during the Forbearance Period.

(b)           Each Holder also hereby agrees that it shall irrevocably consent with respect to all of such Holder’s Relevant Notes to the Proposed Amendment pursuant to and through the Consent Solicitation process or such other process as reasonably necessary to effect the Proposed Amendment, and to execute any document or instrument necessary to give effect to the Proposed Amendment.

WHEREAS, the Company has solicited, and, according to the written certification from the [Information and Tabulation Agent], the Company has received, consents upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Consent Solicitation Statement, dated [       ], 2015 (the “Consent Solicitation Statement”), from Holders representing a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, to the amendments contemplated hereby;

 

WHEREAS, it is provided in the Indenture that a supplemental indenture becomes effective in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder;

 

WHEREAS, the Company, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred upon and reserved to it under the provisions of the Indenture and pursuant to appropriate action of its Board of Directors, has fully resolved and determined to make, execute and deliver to the Trustee and Paying Agent, this Eighth Supplemental Indenture in the form hereof for the purpose of amending the Indenture;

 

WHEREAS, the execution and delivery of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture by the Company has been authorized by resolution of the Company’s Board of Directors;

 

WHEREAS, the Company has heretofore delivered or is delivering contemporaneously herewith to the Trustee and Paying Agent a duly executed Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, as contemplated by Section 12.04 of the Indenture;

 

WHEREAS, all acts and things prescribed by the Indenture, by law and by the Certificate of Formation and the Limited Liability Company Agreement or the Certificate of Incorporation and the Bylaws (or comparable constituent documents), as applicable, of the Company necessary to make this Eighth Supplemental Indenture a valid instrument legally binding on the Company, in accordance with its terms, and for the purposes expressed herein, have been complied with, performed and fulfilled, and the execution and delivery hereof, in the form and upon the terms hereof, have been in all respects duly authorized;

WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Trustee and Paying Agent execute and deliver this Eighth Supplemental Indenture and satisfy all requirements necessary to make this Eighth Supplemental Indenture a valid instrument legally binding in accordance with its terms, duly authorized in all respects; and

NOW, THEREFORE, to comply with the provisions of the Indenture and in consideration of the above premises, the parties hereto covenant and agree for the Holders of the Notes as follows:

 

ARTICLE 1

 

Section 1.1                                    Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

ARTICLE 2

 

Section 2.1                                    This Eighth Supplemental Indenture is supplemental to the Indenture and does and shall be deemed to form a part of, and shall be construed in connection with and as part of, the Indenture for any and all purposes.

 

Section 2.2                                    This Eighth Supplemental Indenture shall become effective immediately upon its execution and delivery by each of the Company, the Guarantors, Trustee and Paying Agent.

 

ARTICLE 3

 

Section 3.1                                    Section 4.05(b)(1) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(1)                                 the incurrence by the Company and any Guarantor of additional Indebtedness and letters of credit under Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and any Guarantor thereunder) not to exceed (i) the greater of (A) $300.0 million and (B) 25% of the Company’s Adjusted Consolidated Net Tangible Assets determined on the date of such incurrence; provided, that, the Indebtedness and letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facility in an aggregate principal amount of up to $70.0 million shall at all times be permitted under this clause (1);

 

ARTICLE 4

 

Section 4.1                                    Except as specifically modified herein, the Indenture and the Notes are in all respects ratified and confirmed (mutatis mutandis) and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

Section 4.3                                    Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no duties, responsibilities or liabilities are assumed, or shall be construed to be assumed, by the Trustee by reason of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture. This Eighth Supplemental Indenture is executed and accepted by the Trustee subject to all the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture with the same force and effect as if those terms and conditions were repeated at length herein and made applicable to the Trustee with respect hereto.

Section 4.5                                    In case one or more of the provisions in this Eighth Supplemental Indenture, in the Indenture or in the Notes shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the provisions hereof shall be enforceable to the full extent permitted by law.

 

Section 4.6                                    The headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of, or to affect the meaning or interpretation of, this Eighth Supplemental Indenture.

 

Section 4.7                                    The parties may sign any number of copies of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture. Each signed copy shall be an original, but all of such executed copies together shall represent the same agreement.  One signed copy is enough to prove this Eighth Supplemental Indenture.  The exchange of copies of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture and of signature pages by facsimile or PDF transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Eighth Supplemental Indenture as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Eighth Supplemental Indenture for all purposes.  Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or PDF shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.
