GENERAL PROVISIONS REGARDING THE RESTRUCTURING TRANSACTIONS | ||
Chapter 11 Cases | The Restructuring Transactions will be accomplished through the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases under the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. Pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement, and subject to the terms and conditions thereof, the Company and the Consenting Noteholders have agreed to support the Restructuring Transactions. |
DIP Facility / DIP Backstop Commitments / Use of Cash Collateral | The Company has obtained commitments (the “DIP Backstop Commitments”) from the members of the Ad Hoc Noteholder Group (each such member, in its capacity as a provider of the DIP Backstop Commitments under the DIP Facility, a “DIP Backstop Party”) to (i) provide loans and (ii) backstop Unfunded Amounts (as defined herein) under a $150 million debtor-in-possession financing facility (the “DIP Facility”) on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the DIP Credit Agreement attached to the Restructuring Support Agreement as Exhibit C.
The terms upon which the Debtors shall seek approval of the DIP Facility in the Bankruptcy Court, as well as the terms that will govern the use of cash collateral and the adequate protection to be provided to the Secured Noteholders (as defined below) and other applicable parties are set forth in the Interim DIP Order (and, with respect to final approval, the terms set forth in the Final DIP Order). | |
