RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Borrowers and the Supporting Term Lenders are parties to that certain Term Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Term Loan Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto and the Agent;

WHEREAS, the Borrowers are obligors under the Term Loan Agreement in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of $243,125,000 as of the date hereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon and any fees or other amounts owing thereunder, and the Supporting Term Lenders, in the aggregate, hold approximately $241,909,374.87 (99.5%) of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the term loans under the Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loans”);

WHEREAS, the Parties have negotiated in good faith and at arms’ length an out- of-court transaction that will effectuate a financial restructuring (the “Restructuring”) of the Company’s capital structure and financial obligations, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Summary of Terms and Conditions of Restructuring Transaction (the “Term Sheet”) attached hereto as Exhibit A; and

16.    Severability.

Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement. In the event that any part of this Agreement is

 

11


declared by any court or other judicial or administrative body to be null, void or unenforceable, said provision survives to the extent it is not so declared, and all of the other provisions of this Agreement remain in full force and effect only if, after excluding the portion deemed to be unenforceable, the remaining terms provide for the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby in substantially the same manner as originally set forth at the later of the date this Agreement was executed or last amended.

17.    Mutual Drafting. This Agreement is the result of the Parties’ joint efforts, and each of them and their respective counsel have reviewed this Agreement and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation, and agreement of the Parties, and the language used in this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and therefore there shall be no construction against any Party based on any presumption of that Party’s involvement in the drafting thereof.

18.    Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit, characterize, or in any way affect any provision of this Agreement, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be enforced and construed as if no headings had been used in this Agreement.

19.    Waivers and Amendments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Agreement, including any exhibits and schedules hereto (including any provision in the Term Sheet and any exhibits and schedules thereto) may not be changed, modified, amended, or supplemented, nor shall any provision or requirement hereof be waived, without the prior written agreement (which may include electronic mail by counsel to the applicable parties) of the Borrowers and the Required Supporting Term Lenders; provided, that (a) the definition of Required Supporting Term Lenders; (b) the provisions of this Section 19; and (c) the following sections of the Term Sheet: (i) Treatment of Existing Debt, (ii) Governance, and (iii) the Credit Facilities, Maturity, Interest Rate, and Initial Payment sections identified in the New Term Facility Term Sheet Summary, shall not be amended or modified without the consent of all Supporting Term Lenders; provided, further that, any changes, modifications, amendments, supplements or waivers and any proposed change, modification, amendment or supplement to, or waiver of, any provision of this Agreement and any terms in the Term Sheet that would or would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect any Supporting Term Lender in a manner that is disproportionate to any other Supporting Term Lender or the Supporting Term Lenders as a whole, may not be made without the prior written consent of the Borrowers and each Supporting Term Lender that would be so affected.

20.    Specific Performance.

It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages may be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party, that such breach may represent irreparable harm, and that each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) as a remedy of any such breach, including an order of a court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in no event shall any Party or their representatives be liable to any other Party hereunder for any punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, including the loss of future revenue or income or opportunity, relating to the breach or alleged breach of this Agreement.

Subject to fiduciary duties, no M&A transaction shall be effected during the interim period between the agreement of this term sheet and the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”) without the affirmative consent of the Required Consenting Term Lenders.

 

Treatment of ABL Facility:

The Loan and Security Agreement, dated as of December 15, 2016 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “ABL Credit Agreement”), shall be amended and restated or refinanced on terms to be mutually agreed.

Treatment of Existing Debt:

Supporting Term Lenders shall exchange all of their Term Loans into newly issued common shares of the Company representing 97% of the Company’s equity interest (subject to dilution by the New Warrants and MIP (each as defined below)) and Supporting Term Lenders shall receive $20 million of term loans under the New Term Facility (as defined below, and such exchanged term loans, the “Exchange Term Loans”) on a pro rata basis;

Treatment of Unsecured Claims:

New Warrants will be subject to customary Black- Scholes protections, based on pre-agreed parameters to be applied to the Black-Scholes formula, in case of a change-of-control sale or similar transaction during the term of the warrants, with any payments under such protections to be capped at $10 million and subject to sun setting provisions after 18 months.
