2.5 Notwithstanding Section 2.1, but subject to Section 2.3 and Section 2.10, all proceeds of dispositions of Senior Priority Collateral (including from any Lien Enforcement Action) and insurance proceeds in connection with a casualty event with respect to Senior Priority Collateral shall be applied first, to the Senior Priority Obligations up to the Maximum Debt Amount with respect thereto (with a corresponding permanent reduction of any revolving commitments with respect thereto), and second to any Junior Priority Obligations up to the Maximum
12
Debt Amount with respect thereto; provided, that to the extent consent is required under any Junior Loan Documents, the applicable Junior Priority Lenders shall have consented to any such disposition (other than in connection with a Lien Enforcement Action). All proceeds of any Senior Priority Collateral received by a Senior Priority Lender after the Senior Priority Obligations have been paid in full shall be forthwith paid over, in the funds and currency received, to the Junior Priority Lender for application to the Junior Priority Obligations (unless otherwise required by law). For purposes of this Section 2.5, payments made by the Borrower to Term Loan Lenders in respect of the Term Loan Debt or to the Pioneer Lender in respect of the Pioneer Lender Debt with proceeds of loans by Working Capital Lender to Borrower shall not be construed to constitute proceeds of Collateral.
2.6 Each of the Lenders shall be solely responsible for perfecting and maintaining the perfection of their Liens in and to each item constituting the Collateral in which such Persons have been granted a Lien. Except as set forth in Section 2.1, the foregoing provisions of this Agreement are intended solely to govern the respective Lien priorities as among the Lenders and shall not impose on any Lender any obligations in respect of the disposition of proceeds of any Collateral which would conflict with prior perfected claims therein in favor of any other person or any order or decree of any court or governmental authority or any applicable law. Each Junior Priority Lender agrees that it will not contest (or join any other person contesting) the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens or Obligations of another Lender on any Collateral, provided that nothing in this sentence shall be deemed to impair the rights of the Lenders to enforce this Agreement.
2.7 In the event that a Lender shall, in the exercise of its rights under its Agreements, receive possession or control of any books and records of any Borrower or Obligor which contain information identifying or pertaining to any Collateral in which the other Lenders have been granted a Lien, such Lender shall, upon request of any other Lender, make available to the requesting Lender such books and records for inspection and duplication.
2.8 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (including Sections 2.1 and 2.11), each Senior Priority Lender shall have the exclusive right to manage, perform and enforce the terms of the Senior Priority Loan Documents with respect to the Senior Priority Collateral and its Loan Agreements, to exercise and enforce all privileges and rights thereunder according to its discretion and the exercise of its business judgment, including, without limitation, the exclusive right to take or retake control or possession of such Senior Priority Collateral and to hold, prepare for sale, process, sell, lease, dispose of, or liquidate such Senior Priority Collateral.
2.9 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any of the Agreements but subject to Section 2.10 below and Section 2.11 below, prior to the time when a Senior Priority Lender shall have received payment in full of all its Senior Priority Obligations in cash, during the continuance of a Release Event, only the Senior Priority Lender shall have the right to restrict or permit, or approve or disapprove, the sale, transfer or other disposition of the Senior Priority Collateral or other Lien Enforcement Action with respect to the Senior Priority Collateral.
13
2.10 Junior Priority Lenders shall, at any time and during the continuance of a Release Event:
(a) upon the request of the Senior Priority Lender with respect to the Senior Priority Collateral identified in such request as set forth below (which request shall specify the proposed terms of the sale, transfer or other disposition and the type and amount of consideration to be received in connection therewith), release or otherwise terminate its Liens on such Senior Priority Collateral, to the extent such Senior Priority Collateral is to be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of either by (i) the Senior Priority Lender or its agents, or (ii) the Borrower or any Obligor with the consent of the Senior Priority Lender;
(b) deliver such release documents as the Senior Priority Lenders may reasonably require in connection therewith; provided, that,
(i) such release shall not extend to or otherwise affect any of the rights of the Junior Priority Lenders to the proceeds from any such sale or other disposition of Senior Priority Collateral except to the extent such proceeds are applied in accordance with Section 2.10(b)(ii) below;
(ii) the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or disposition shall be promptly applied in the priorities set forth in Section 2.5 hereof;
(iii) no such release documents shall be delivered (A) to the Borrower or any Obligor or (B) more than one Business Day prior to the date of the closing of the sale or disposition of such Senior Priority Collateral; provided, further, that if the closing of the sale or disposition of such Senior Priority Collateral is not consummated, the Senior Priority Lender shall promptly return all release documents to the Junior Priority Lenders who supplied such release documents; and
(c) be deemed to have consented under the applicable Agreements to which the Junior Priority Lender is a party to such sale or other disposition.
The effectiveness of any such release or termination by the Junior Priority Lenders shall be subject to the sale or other disposition of the Senior Priority Collateral described in such request and on the terms described in such request or on substantially similar terms and shall lapse in the event such sale or other disposition does not occur within 3 business days of the anticipated closing date. During the time any Lender or its agent is conducting any Lien Enforcement Action, upon the request of any other Lender, such Lender conducting such Lien Enforcement Action will advise the other Lenders of any and all offers which may be made from time to time by prospective purchasers of the applicable Collateral or other information relating to such Lien Enforcement Action.
2.11 Except as specifically provided in Section 2.12 below, notwithstanding any rights or remedies available to the Junior Priority Lenders under any of the Junior Priority Loan Documents, applicable law or otherwise, prior to the time that the Senior Priority Lender shall have received the payment in full of all Senior Priority Obligations in cash, the Junior Priority Lenders shall not, directly or indirectly, seek to commence or maintain any Lien Enforcement Action on any Senior Priority Collateral or assert any claims or interests therein
14
(including, without limitation, by setoff or notification of account debtors) and the Senior Priority Lender shall have the exclusive right to commence and maintain any Lien Enforcement Action on any Senior Priority Collateral; provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) upon an Event of Default under the Term Loan Agreements, without the prior written consent of the Working Capital Lender, the Term Loan Lenders shall not commence or maintain any Lien Enforcement Action with respect to the Term Loan Lender Priority Collateral until the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days after the declaration of the Term Loan Lenders of such Event of Default under the applicable Term Loan Agreements and written demand by the Term Loan Lenders to the Borrower for the accelerated payment of all such Term Loan Debt (unless the Borrower or any Obligor is subject to an Insolvency Proceeding by reason of which such declaration and the making of such demand is stayed, in which case, such declaration shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding) and (ii) upon an Event of Default under the Pioneer Loan Agreements, without the prior written consent of the Working Capital Lender, the Pioneer Lender shall not commence or maintain any Lien Enforcement Action with respect to the Pioneer Lender Priority Collateral until the date which is one hundred twenty (120) days after the declaration of the Pioneer Lender of such Event of Default under the applicable Pioneer Loan Agreements and written demand by the Pioneer Lender to the Borrower for the accelerated payment of all such Pioneer Lender Debt (unless the Borrower or any Obligor is subject to an Insolvency Proceeding by reason of which such declaration and the making of such demand is stayed, in which case, such declaration shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding); provided, further, that upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Junior Priority Loan Documents and for so long as such Event of Default under the Junior Priority Loan Documents is continuing, subject at all times to the provisions of Sections 2.2, 2.4 and 2.5 of this Agreement, commencing one hundred twenty (120) days (or, in the case of any Lien Enforcement Action (x) by the Term Loan Lenders against the Pioneer Lender Priority Collateral or (y) by the Pioneer Lender against the Term Loan Lender Priority Collateral, one hundred eighty (180) days) after the receipt by Senior Priority Lender of the declaration of a Junior Priority Lender of such Event of Default under the applicable Junior Priority Loan Documents and written demand by such Junior Priority Lender to the Borrower for the accelerated payment of all such Junior Priority Obligations (unless the Borrower or any Obligor is subject to an Insolvency Proceeding by reason of which such declaration and the making of such demand is stayed, in which case, such declaration shall be deemed to have occurred on the date of the commencement of such Insolvency Proceeding), such Junior Priority Lenders may take action to enforce their Liens on the Senior Priority Collateral, but only so long as (i) no Senior Priority Lender is not diligently pursuing in good faith the exercise of its enforcement rights or remedies against, or diligently attempting to vacate any stay or enforcement of its Liens on, all or a material portion of the such Senior Priority Lender's Senior Priority Collateral (including, without limitation, commencement of any action to foreclose its Liens on all or any material portion of its Senior Priority Collateral, notification of account debtors to make payments to such Senior Priority Lender, any action to take possession of all or any material portion of such Senior Priority Collateral or commencement of any legal proceedings or actions against or with respect to all or any material portion of such Senior Priority Collateral), (ii) in the case of any Lien Enforcement Action by the Working Capital Lender on any Term Loan Lender Priority Collateral, the Working Capital Lender has received the prior written consent of the Term Loan Agent, or (iii) in the case of any Lien Enforcement Action by the Working Capital Lender on any
15
Pioneer Lender Priority Collateral, the Working Capital Lender has received the prior written consent of the Pioneer Lender. In the event a Junior Priority Lender has commenced any actions to enforce their Liens on any Senior Priority Lender's Senior Priority Collateral to the extent permitted hereunder and are diligently pursuing such actions, such Senior Priority Lender shall not take any action of a similar nature with respect to such Collateral.
2.12 Section 2.11 shall not be construed to in any way limit or impair the right of: (i) any Lender to bid for or purchase Collateral at any private or judicial foreclosure upon such Collateral initiated by any Lender (provided that in the case of any such bid or purchase by a Junior Priority Lender with respect to any Senior Priority Collateral, such Junior Priority Lender may not "credit bid" unless the proceeds of such bid are otherwise sufficient to cause the payment in full of the Senior Priority Obligations), (ii) Junior Priority Lenders to join (but not control) any foreclosure or other judicial lien enforcement proceeding with respect to any Senior Priority Collateral initiated by the applicable Senior Priority Lender, so long as it does not delay or interfere in any material respect with the exercise by such Senior Priority Lender of its rights as provided in this Agreement, (iii) any Junior Priority Lender's right to receive any remaining proceeds of Senior Priority Collateral after satisfaction and payment in full of all Senior Priority Obligations, (iv) file a proof of claim or statement of interest, vote on a plan of reorganization (including a vote to accept or reject a plan of partial or complete liquidation, reorganization, arrangement, composition, or extension), and make other filings, arguments, and motions, with respect to the Junior Priority Obligations in any Insolvency Proceeding commenced by or against any Obligor, in each case in accordance with this Agreement, (v) take action to create, perfect, preserve, or protect its Lien on the Collateral, so long as such actions are not adverse to the priority status in accordance with this Agreement of Liens on the Seniority Priority Lenders in such Collateral or (vi) file necessary pleadings in opposition to a claim objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of its Obligations.
2.13 If Working Capital Lender should honor a request by the Borrower for a loan, advance or other financial accommodation under the Working Capital Loan Agreements, whether or not Working Capital Lender has knowledge that the honoring of such request would result in an Event of Default, or act, condition or event which with notice or passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default under the Term Loan Agreements or Pioneer Loan Agreements (or the Working Capital Lender waives any such Event of Default or breach), in no event shall Working Capital Lender have any liability to Term Loan Lenders or the Pioneer Lender as a result of such breach, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Term Loan Lenders and the Pioneer Lender agrees that Working Capital Lender shall not have any liability for tortious interference with contractual relations or for inducement by Working Capital Lender of the Borrower to breach of contract or otherwise, provided, that, Working Capital Lender agrees that the aggregate principal amount of loans extended under the Working Capital Debt outstanding at any one time (but not interest, costs, expenses, fees, indemnities or other charges payable by Borrower or any Obligor to Working Capital Lender or charged by Working Capital Lender to the loan account of Borrower or any Obligor maintained by Working Capital Lender pursuant to the terms of the Working Capital Credit Agreement) shall not exceed the Maximum Debt Amount with respect to the Working Capital Debt. Nothing contained in this Section 2.13, but subject to the other sections of this Agreement, shall limit or waive any right that any (i) Term Loan Lender has to enforce any of the provisions of the Term Loan Agreements against the Borrower or any Obligor or (ii) the Pioneer Lender has to enforce any of the provisions of the Pioneer Loan Agreements against the Borrower or any Obligor.
16
2.14 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Lender shall agree to any amendment, modification, waiver or supplement of its Loan Agreements if the effect thereof is to: (i) increase the aggregate principal amount of loans or other extensions of credit under its Loan Agreements in excess of the applicable Maximum Debt Amount; (ii) increase the interest rate on its Obligations or change (to earlier dates) the dates upon which principal, interest and other sums are due under its Loan Agreements; (iii) alter the redemption, prepayment or subordination provisions thereof; (iv) impose on the Borrower or any other Obligor any new or additional prepayment charges, premiums, reimbursement obligations, reimbursable costs or expenses, fees or other payment obligations; (v) alter the representations, warranties, covenants, events of default, remedies and other provisions in a manner which would make such provisions materially more onerous, restrictive or burdensome to the Borrower or any other Obligor; (vi) grant any new Lien to secure its Obligations, unless such Lien is granted to the other Lenders in accordance with the priorities set forth in this Agreement; or (vii) receive a new guarantee, pledge or other credit support from any other Person, except to the extent such additional guarantee, pledge or credit support is required under the terms of such Lender's Loan Agreements (as in effect on the date hereof); provided that clause (vi) and (vii) shall not prohibit the Working Capital Lender receiving the guarantees, liens and security interests contemplated by Section 5.21 of the Working Capital Credit Agreement, and no consent of any other party hereto shall be required.
2.15 Each of the Lenders shall give to the other Lenders promptly after the giving thereof to the Borrower (i) a copy of any written notice by any Lender of an Event of Default under its Agreements with the Borrower, or written notice of demand of payment from the Borrower following an Event of Default under its Agreements, and (ii) a copy of any written notice sent by such Lender to the Borrower at any time an Event of Default under such Lender's Agreements with the Borrower exists stating such Lender's intention to exercise any of its enforcement rights or remedies, including written notice pertaining to any foreclosure on any of the Collateral or other judicial or non- judicial remedy in respect thereof to the extent permitted hereunder, and any legal process served or filed in connection therewith; provided, that, the failure of any party to give notice as required hereby shall not affect the relative priorities of Lender's respective Liens as provided herein or the validity or effectiveness of any such notice as against the Borrower or any other Obligor.
2.16 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the Agreements, Working Capital Lender and Term Loan Lenders acknowledge and agree that (i) the purchase or acceptance by Pioneer or its affiliates of, and the sale or transfer by Borrower or any Obligor of, any products or goods pursuant to the terms of that certain Distribution Agreement by and among Pioneer and Borrower, dated as of December 31, 2014, or that certain Production Agreement by and among Pioneer and Borrower, dated as of December 31, 2014, shall not constitute a violation of this Agreement and upon the sale of such products or goods, Working Capital Lender and Term Loan Lender shall be deemed to have consented thereto and automatically released or terminated its Liens, if any, on such products or goods (provided that such release shall not extend to or otherwise affect any of the rights of such Lenders, if any, to the proceeds from such sale), and Lenders shall deliver any release documents as Pioneer may
17
reasonably require in connection therewith, (ii) the transfer or assignment (in whole or in part) of any Intellectual Property pursuant to the terms of that certain Research Agreement by and among Pioneer and Borrower, dated as of December 31, 2014, and the Production Agreement by and among Pioneer and Borrower, dated as of December 31, 2014, shall not constitute a violation of this Agreement and upon the transfer or assignment (in whole or in part) of such Intellectual Property, Working Capital Lender and Term Loan Lender shall be deemed to have consented thereto and automatically released or terminated its Liens on such Intellectual Property, including with respect to any co-ownership interest of Pioneer in such Intellectual Property, and Lenders shall deliver any release documents as Pioneer may reasonably require in connection therewith, and (iii) the enforcement by Pioneer or its affiliates of any of its rights pursuant to the terms of that certain Asset Purchase and Sale Agreement by and among Pioneer and Borrower, dated as of December 19, 2014, or any Transaction Documents (as such term is defined therein, but excluding the Pioneer Loan Agreements, and the payments of any amounts payable to Pioneer or its affiliates by Borrower or any Obligor thereunder (exclusive of the amount payable pursuant to the Promissory Note), shall not constitute a violation of this Agreement.
3. TERM LOAN LENDER PURCHASE OPTION
3.1 Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Working Capital Loan Agreements, Term Loan Lenders shall have the option at any time within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of such Event of Default and upon five (5) business days' prior written notice to Working Capital Lender to purchase all of the Working Capital Debt from Working Capital Lender. Such notice from Term Loan Lenders to Working Capital Lender shall be irrevocable.
3.2 On the date specified by Term Loan Lenders in such notice (which shall not be less than five (5) business days, nor more than twenty (20) days, after the receipt by Working Capital Lender of the notice from Term Loan Lenders of their election to exercise such option), Working Capital Lender shall sell to Term Loan Lenders, and Term Loan Lenders shall purchase from Working Capital Lender, all of the Working Capital Debt.
3.3 Upon the date of such purchase and sale, Term Loan Lenders shall pay to Working Capital Lender as the purchase price therefor the full amount of all the Working Capital Debt then outstanding and unpaid (including principal, interest, indemnities, fees and expenses, including attorneys' fees and legal expenses) and other amounts under the Working Capital Loan Agreements, and (ii) agree to reimburse Working Capital Lender for any loss, cost, damage or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal expenses) in connection with any commissions, fees, costs or expenses related to any checks or other payments provisionally credited to the Working Capital Debt, and/or as to which Working Capital Lender has not yet received final payment. Such purchase price and cash collateral shall be remitted by wire transfer in federal funds to such bank account of Working Capital Lender as Working Capital Lender may designate in writing to Term Loan Lenders for such purpose.

4.5 Bankruptcy Financing.
(a) If the Borrower or any Obligor shall become subject to a case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code and, if as debtor(s)-in-possession such Borrower or Obligor moves for approval of financing, including on a priming basis with respect to Working Capital Lender Priority Collateral (the "DIP Financing") to be provided in good faith by Working Capital Lender or any third party approved by the Working Capital Lender (the "DIP Lender") under Section 364 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code or the use of cash collateral of Working Capital Lender Priority Collateral under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, the other Lenders agree that no objection, protest or contest (including joinder or support of any third party objecting, protesting or contesting) will be raised by such Lenders to any such financing so long as (A) the other Lenders retain a Lien on the Collateral (including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of such proceeding) with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the case under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (after giving effect to any priming Liens on the Working Capital Lender Priority Collateral in favor of the DIP Lender), (B) any Liens or superpriority claims pursuant to section 507 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code the DIP
21

(c) No Lender shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim by any other Lender for allowance in any Insolvency Proceeding consisting of post-petition interest, fees or expenses.
(d) The Lenders acknowledge and agree that (i) the grants of Liens pursuant to the Agreements constitute separate and distinct grants of Liens and (ii) because of, among other things, their differing rights in the Collateral, the Obligations of the Lenders are fundamentally different from each other and must be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an Insolvency Proceeding.
(e) No Junior Priority Lender shall raise any objection to, oppose or contest (or join with or support any third party opposing, objecting to or contesting), a sale or other disposition of any Senior Priority Collateral free and clear of its Liens or other claims under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code if the Senior Priority Lender with respect to such Collateral has consented to such sale or disposition of such assets.
