Certain Agreements with Respect to Bankruptcy or Insolvency Proceedings (a) This Agreement, which the parties acknowledge shall be a subordination agreement subject to Section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the commencement of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law by or against the Borrower or any of its subsidiaries.
(b) If any Pledgor shall become subject to a case (a “Bankruptcy Case”) under the Bankruptcy Code, whether voluntary or involuntary, and shall, as debtor(s)-in-possession, move for approval of financing (“DIP Financing”) to be provided by one or more lenders (the “DIP Lenders”) under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, each Secured Party agrees that it will raise no objection to any such financing or to the Liens on the Shared Collateral securing the same (“DIP Financing Liens”) or to any use of cash collateral that constitutes Shared Collateral, unless any Controlling Secured Party, or an Authorized Representative of any Controlling Secured Party, shall then oppose or object to such DIP Financing or such DIP Financing Liens or use of cash collateral (and (i) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens are senior to the Liens on any such Shared Collateral for the benefit of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will subordinate its Liens with respect to such Shared Collateral on the same terms as the Liens of the Controlling Secured Parties (other than any Liens of any Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) are subordinated thereto, and (ii) to the extent that such DIP Financing Liens rank pari passu with the Liens on any such Shared Collateral granted to secure the Obligations of the Controlling Secured Parties, each Non-Controlling Secured Party will confirm the priorities with respect to such Shared Collateral as set forth herein), in each case so long as (A) the Secured Parties of each Series retain the benefit of their Liens on all such Shared Collateral pledged to the DIP Lenders, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding, with the same priority vis-à-vis all the other Secured Parties (other than any Liens of the Secured Parties constituting DIP Financing Liens) as existed prior to the commencement of the Bankruptcy Case, (B) the Secured Parties of each Series are granted Liens on any additional collateral pledged to any Secured Parties as adequate protection or otherwise in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, with the same priority vis-à-vis the Secured Parties as set forth in this Agreement, (C) if any amount of such DIP Financing or cash collateral is applied to repay any of the Obligations, such amount is applied pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement, and (D) if any Secured Parties are granted adequate protection, including in the form of periodic payments, in connection with such DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, the proceeds of such adequate protection is applied pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement; provided that the Secured Parties of each Series shall have a right to object to the grant of a Lien to secure the DIP Financing over any Collateral subject to Liens in favor of the Secured Parties of such Series or its Authorized Representative that shall not constitute Shared Collateral; and provided further, that the Secured Parties receiving adequate protection shall not object to any other Secured Party receiving adequate protection comparable to any adequate protection granted to such Secured Parties in connection with a DIP Financing or use of cash collateral.
Action with Respect to Bankruptcy The Owner Trustee shall not have the power to commence a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy relating to the Trust without the unanimous prior approval of all Certificateholders (including the Board of Directors (including the Independent Directors, as such term is defined in the Depositor’s Certificate of Incorporation) of the Depositor) and the delivery to the Owner Trustee of a written certification by each Certificateholder that such Certificateholder reasonably believes that the Trust is insolvent.
Action by Owners with Respect to Bankruptcy The Owner Trustee shall not have the power to commence a voluntary proceeding in bankruptcy relating to the Trust without the unanimous prior approval of all Owners and the delivery to the Owner Trustee by each such Owner of a certificate certifying that such Owner reasonably believes that the Trust is insolvent.
Bankruptcy Matters No party to this Agreement shall take any action to cause the Depositor or the Issuer to dissolve in whole or in part or file a voluntary petition or otherwise initiate proceedings to have the Depositor or the Issuer adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Depositor or the Issuer, or file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief of the Depositor or the Issuer as debtor under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, or other relief for debtors with respect to the Depositor or the Issuer; or seek or consent to the appointment of any trustee, receiver, conservator, assignee, sequestrator, custodian, liquidator (or other similar official) of the Depositor or the Issuer or of all or any substantial part of the properties and assets of the Depositor or the Issuer, or cause the Issuer to make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors of the Depositor or the Issuer, or take any action in furtherance of any of the above actions.
Action with Respect to Bankruptcy Action (a) The Trust shall not, without the prior written consent of the Owner Trustee, (a) institute any proceedings to adjudicate the Trust bankrupt or insolvent, (b) consent to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against the Trust, (c) file a petition seeking or consenting to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law relating to bankruptcy with respect to the Trust, (d) consent to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Trust or a substantial part of its property, (e) make any assignment for the benefit of the Trust’s creditors; (f) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; (g) declare or effect a moratorium on its debt; or (h) take any action in furtherance of any of the foregoing (any of the above foregoing actions, a “Bankruptcy Action”). In considering whether to give or withhold written consent to a Bankruptcy Action by the Trust, the Owner Trustee, with the consent of the Certificateholder (hereby given, which consent the Certificateholder believes to be in the best interests of the Certificateholder and the Trust), shall consider the interest of the Noteholders in addition to the interests of the Trust and whether the Trust is insolvent; provided, however, that the Owner Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the Noteholders. The Owner Trustee shall have no duty to give such written consent to a Bankruptcy Action by the Trust if the Owner Trustee shall not have been furnished (at the expense of the Trust or the Person that requested that such letter be furnished to the Owner Trustee) with a letter from an independent accounting firm of national reputation stating that in the opinion of such firm the Trust is then insolvent. The Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity) shall not be personally liable to any Person on account of the Owner Trustee’s good faith reliance on the provisions of this Section or in connection with the Owner Trustee’s giving prior written consent to a Bankruptcy Action by the Trust in accordance herewith, or withholding such consent, in good faith, and neither the Trust nor the Certificateholder shall have any claim for breach of fiduciary duty or otherwise against the Owner Trustee (as such and in its individual capacity) for giving or withholding its consent to any such Bankruptcy Action.
(b) The parties hereto stipulate and agree that the Certificateholder has no power to commence any Bankruptcy Action on the part of the Trust or to direct the Owner Trustee to take any Bankruptcy Action on the part of the Trust except as provided in Sections 4.5(a) and 10.12. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the consent of the Trust Collateral Agent shall be obtained prior to taking any Bankruptcy Action by the Trust.
(c) The provisions of this Section do not constitute an acknowledgement or admission by the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Certificateholder or any creditor of the Trust that the Trust is eligible to be a debtor, under the United States Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq., as amended.
Events of Default Other Than Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Reorganization Proceedings If an Event of Default specified under Sections 9.1.1 through 9.1.10 shall occur and be continuing, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be under no further obligation to make Loans and the Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue Letters of Credit and the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders, shall (i) by written notice to the Borrower, declare the unpaid principal amount of the Notes then outstanding and all interest accrued thereon, any unpaid fees and all other Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to be forthwith due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of each Lender without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived, and (ii) require the Borrower to, and the Borrower shall thereupon, deposit in a non-interest-bearing account with the Administrative Agent, as cash collateral for its Obligations under the Loan Documents, an amount equal to the maximum amount currently or at any time thereafter available to be drawn on all outstanding Letters of Credit, and the Borrower hereby pledges to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and grants to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a security interest in, all such cash as security for such Obligations; and
Priorities and Agreements With Respect to Shared Collateral Section 2.01.
Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings The Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that, if in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding and prior to the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Lien Secured Parties by an Act of Required Secured Parties shall desire to permit the use of “Cash Collateral” (as such term is defined in Section 363(a) of the Bankruptcy Code), or to permit any Issuer or any other Grantor to obtain financing, whether from the Priority Lien Secured Parties or any other Person under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar Bankruptcy Law (“DIP Financing”) then each of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and each Junior Lien Representative for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, will raise no objection to such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing including any proposed orders for such Cash Collateral use and/ or DIP Financing which are acceptable to the Priority Lien Secured Parties) and to the extent the Liens securing the Priority Lien Obligations are subordinated to or pari passu with such DIP Financing, the Junior Collateral Trustee will subordinate its Junior Liens in the Collateral to the Liens securing such DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) and will not request adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith (except, as expressly agreed by the Priority Lien Secured Parties or to the extent permitted as described below under this caption “—Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings”. No Junior Lien Secured Party may provide DIP Financing to either of the Issuers or any other Grantor secured by Liens equal or senior in priority to the Liens securing any Priority Lien Obligations and no such DIP Financing shall “roll-up” or otherwise include or refinance any pre-petition Junior Lien Obligations. Each of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and the Junior Lien Representative on behalf itself and the other Junior Lien Secured Parties will raise no objection to or oppose a motion to sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code if the requisite Priority Lien Secured Parties have consented to such sale, liquidation or other disposition; provided that, to the extent such sale, liquidation or other disposition is to be free and clear of Liens, the Liens securing the Priority Lien Obligations and the Junior Lien Obligations will attach to the proceeds of the sale, liquidation or other disposition on the same basis of priority as the Liens on the Collateral securing the Priority Lien Obligations rank to the Liens on the Collateral securing the Junior Lien Obligations pursuant to the Collateral Trust Agreement. Each of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and the Junior Lien Representative on behalf of itself and the other Junior Lien Secured Parties will not directly or indirectly oppose or impede entry of any order in connection with such sale, liquidation or other disposition, including orders to retain professionals or set bid procedures in connection with such sale, liquidation or disposition if the requisite Priority Lien Secured Parties have consented to such (i) retention of professionals and bid procedures in connection with such sale, liquidation or disposition of such assets and (ii) the sale, liquidation or disposition of such assets, in which event the Junior Lien Secured Parties will be deemed to have consented to the sale or disposition of Collateral pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code and such motion does not impair the rights of the Junior Lien Secured Parties under Section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that until the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations has occurred, none of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and the Junior Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties, shall: (i) seek (or support any other Person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in respect of the Collateral, without the prior written consent of the Priority Lien Secured Parties or a Priority Lien Representative, through an Act of Required Secured Parties as specified in clause (i) of the definition thereof, unless a motion for adequate protection permitted under this caption “—Insolvency or Liquidation Proceedings” has been denied by a bankruptcy court or (ii) oppose (or support any other Person in opposing) any request by the Priority Lien Secured Parties for relief from such stay. The Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that none of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and the Junior Lien Representative, for itself and on behalf of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties shall contest (or support any other Person contesting): (1) any request by the Priority Lien Representatives or the Priority Lien Secured Parties for adequate protection under any Bankruptcy Law; or (2) any objection by the Priority Lien Representatives or the Priority Lien Secured Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Priority Lien Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding: (1) if the Priority Lien Secured Parties (or any subset thereof) are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral or superpriority claims in connection with any Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing, then the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) or Junior Lien Representative, on behalf of itself or any of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it, may seek or request adequate protection in the form of a Lien on such additional collateral or superpriority claim, (A) which Lien will be subordinated to the Liens securing the Priority Lien Obligations and such Cash Collateral use or DIP Financing (and all Obligations relating thereto) on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Junior Lien Obligations are so subordinated to the Priority Lien Obligations under the Collateral Trust Agreement and (B) which superpriority claim will be subordinated to all superpriority claims of the Priority Lien Secured Parties on the same basis as the other claims of the Junior Lien Secured Parties are so subordinated to the claims of the Priority Lien Secured Parties under the Collateral Trust Agreement; and (2) each of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties), the Junior Lien Representatives and the Junior Lien Secured Parties shall only be permitted to seek adequate protection with respect to their rights in the Collateral in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding in the form of (A) additional collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, is also granted a senior Lien on such additional collateral; (B) replacement Liens on the Collateral; provided that as adequate protection for the Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, is also granted senior replacement Liens on the Collateral; and (C) an administrative expense claim; provided that as adequate protection for the Priority Lien Obligations, the Priority Collateral Trustee, on behalf of the Priority Lien Secured Parties, is also granted an administrative expense claim which is senior and prior to the administrative expense claim of the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) and each Junior Lien Representative on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it. If any Junior Lien Secured Party receives post-petition interest and/or adequate protection payments in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding (“Junior Lien Adequate Protection Payments”), and the Priority Lien Secured Parties do not receive payment in full in cash of all Priority Lien Obligations upon the effectiveness of the plan of reorganization for, or conclusion of, that Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, then, each Junior Lien Secured Party shall pay over to the Priority Lien Secured Party an amount (the “Pay-Over Amount”) equal to the lesser of (i) the Junior Lien Adequate Protection Payments received by such Junior Lien Secured Parties and (ii) the amount of the short-fall (the “Short Fall”) in payment in full of the Priority Lien Obligations; provided that to the extent any portion of the Short Fall represents payments received by the Priority Lien Secured Parties in the form of promissory notes, equity or other property, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount, the Priority Lien Secured Parties shall, upon receipt of the Pay-Over Amount, transfer those promissory notes, equity or other property, pro rata, equal in value to the cash paid in respect of the Pay-Over Amount to the applicable Junior Lien Secured Parties in exchange for the Pay-Over Amount. Notwithstanding anything in the Collateral Trust Agreement to the contrary, the Priority Lien Secured Parties shall not be deemed to have consented to, and expressly retain their rights to object to the grant of adequate protection in the form of cash payments to the Junior Lien Secured Parties made pursuant to this paragraph. Nothing in the Collateral Trust Agreement, except as expressly provided therein, will prohibit or in any way limit any Priority Lien Representative or any Priority Lien Secured Party from objecting in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to any action taken by the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties), the Junior Lien Representative or any of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties, including the seeking by the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties), the Junior Lien Representative or any of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties of adequate protection or the asserting by the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties), the Junior Lien Representative or any of the other Junior Lien Secured Parties of any of its rights and remedies under the Junior Lien Documents or otherwise. The Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that if any Priority Lien Secured Party is required in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise to turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Issuer or any other Grantor any amount paid in respect of Priority Lien Obligations (a “Recovery”), then such Priority Lien Secured Party shall be entitled to a reinstatement of Priority Lien Obligations with respect to all such recovered amounts on the date of such Recovery, and from and after the date of such reinstatement the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred for all purposes hereunder. If the Collateral Trust Agreement is terminated prior to such Recovery, the Collateral Trust Agreement will be reinstated in full force and effect, and such prior termination shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligations of the parties hereto from such date of reinstatement. The Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that the grants of Liens pursuant to the Priority Lien Security Documents and the Junior Lien Security Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens; and because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Junior Lien Obligations are fundamentally different from the Priority Lien Obligations and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding. If it is held that the claims of the Priority Lien Secured Parties and the Junior Lien Secured Parties in respect of the Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then all distributions will be made as if there were separate classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Grantors in respect of the Collateral (with the effect being that, to the extent that the aggregate value of the Collateral is sufficient (for this purpose ignoring all claims held by the Junior Lien Secured Parties), the Priority Lien Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive, in addition to amounts distributed to them in respect of principal, pre-petition interest and other claims, all amounts owing (or that would be owing if there were such separate classes of senior and junior secured claims) in respect of post-petition interest, including any additional interest payable pursuant to the Priority Lien Documents, arising from or related to a default, which is disallowed as a claim in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding) before any distribution is made in respect of the claims held by the Junior Lien Secured Parties with respect to the Collateral, and the Junior Collateral Trustee (on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties) or each Junior Lien Representative, as applicable, for itself and on behalf of the Junior Lien Secured Parties for whom it acts as representative, will turn over to the Priority Collateral Trustee for application in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement, Collateral or proceeds of Collateral otherwise received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the intent of this sentence, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Junior Lien Secured Parties). The Collateral Trust Agreement will provide that, notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary, each Junior Lien Representative and the Junior Collateral Trustee, for itself and on behalf of each other Junior Lien Secured Party represented by it, agrees that none of such Junior Lien Representative or the Junior Collateral Trustee, the Junior Lien Secured Parties represented by it or any agent or trustee on behalf of any of them shall, during any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding or otherwise, support, endorse, propose or submit, whether directly or indirectly, any plan of reorganization that provides for the impairment of repayment of the Priority Lien Obligations (with impairment to be determined under Section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code) unless (i) the Priority Lien Secured Parties or the Priority Lien Representative, in each case, through an Act of Required Secured Parties as specified in clause (i) of the definition thereof shall have consented to such plan in writing or (ii) such plan of reorganization provides for the Discharge of Priority Lien Obligations (including all post-petition interest, fees and expenses) on the effective date of such plan of reorganization or liquidation, as applicable. Without limiting the foregoing, the Collateral Trust Agreement provides that if, in any Insolvency or Liquidation Proceeding, debt obligations of the reorganized debtor secured by Liens upon any property of the reorganized debtor are distributed pursuant to a plan of reorganization or similar dispositive restructuring plan, both on account of Priority Lien Obligations and on account of Junior Lien Obligations, then, to the extent the debt obligations distributed on account of the Priority Lien Obligations and on account of the Junior Lien Obligations are secured by Liens upon the same property, the provisions of the Collateral Trust Agreement will survive the distribution of such debt obligations pursuant to such plan and will apply with like effect to the Liens securing such debt obligations. The Collateral Trust Agreement will be a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, which will be effective before, during and after the commencement of an insolvency proceeding. All references in the Collateral Trust Agreement to any Grantor will include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in an insolvency proceeding.
Bankruptcy, Insolvency or Reorganization Proceedings If an Event of Default specified under Section 9.1.12 [Relief Proceedings] shall occur, the Lenders shall be under no further obligations to make Loans hereunder and the Issuing Lender shall be under no obligation to issue Letters of Credit and the unpaid principal amount of the Loans then outstanding and all interest accrued thereon, any unpaid fees and all other Indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lenders hereunder and thereunder shall be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived; and
