Upon the prepayment or repayment of all or any portion of the principal amount of the Notes (or upon the date any such prepayment or repayment is required to be paid), whether pursuant to Section 2.03 (other than Section 2.03(b)(iv)), Section 2.05 or Article IX, or otherwise, the Issuer shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Purchaser, for their respective ratable accounts, on the date on which such prepayment or repayment is paid or required to be paid, as the case may be, in addition to the other Obligations so prepaid, repaid or required to be prepaid or repaid, an exit fee in an amount equal to two percent (2.00%) of the principal amount of the Notes prepaid, repaid or required to be prepaid or repaid, as the case may be, on such date.
2.08 Computation of Interest.
All computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed. Interest shall accrue on each Note for the day on which such Note is issued, and shall not accrue on a Note, or any portion thereof, for the day on which such Note or such portion is paid.
2.09 Evidence of Debt.
The Notes issued to the Purchasers shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Purchaser in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by each Purchaser shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Notes held by the Purchasers and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Issuer hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.
2.10 | Payments Generally. |
(a) General. All payments to be made by the Issuer shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Subject to Section 9.03, all payments of principal, interest, repayment premiums and fees on the Notes and all other Obligations payable by any Credit Party under the Note Documents shall be due, without any presentment thereof, directly to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Purchaser, at the Administrative Agent’s Office. The Credit Parties will make such payments in Dollars, in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date due, marked for attention as indicated, or in such other manner or to such other account in any United States bank as the Purchasers may from time to time direct in writing. All payments received by the Purchasers after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Issuer shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest.
47
(b) Obligations of Purchasers Several. The obligations of the Purchasers hereunder to purchase the Notes and to make payments pursuant to Section 11.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Purchaser to purchase any Note or to make any payment under Section 11.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Purchaser of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Purchaser shall be responsible for the failure of any other Purchaser to so purchase a Note or to make its payment under Section 11.04(c).
(c) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Purchaser to obtain the funds for the purchase of any Note in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Purchaser that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for the purchase of any Note in any particular place or manner.
2.11 Sharing of Payments by Purchasers.
If any Purchaser shall, by exercising any right of setoff or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on its Notes or repayment premium or exit fee in connection therewith resulting in such Purchaser’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the Notes and accrued interest thereon and repayment premium or exit fees in connection therewith greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Purchaser shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Notes of the other Purchasers pursuant to documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Purchasers ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of, accrued interest on and repayment premium or exit fees in connection with their respective Notes and other amounts owing them; provided, that:
(i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Issuer pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Purchaser) or (y) any payment obtained by a Purchaser as consideration for the assignment of any of its Notes to any assignee, other than an assignment to Super Holdings or any Subsidiary (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable Law, that any Purchaser acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Purchaser were a direct creditor of such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.
2.12 | Defaulting Purchasers. |
(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Purchaser becomes a Defaulting Purchaser, then, until such time as that Purchaser is no longer a Defaulting Purchaser, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i) Waivers and Amendment. The Defaulting Purchaser’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in Section 11.01.
48
(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Purchaser (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article IX or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Purchaser pursuant to Section 11.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Purchaser to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Issuer may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the purchase of any Note in respect of which that Defaulting Purchaser has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Issuer, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Purchaser to purchase Note under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Purchasers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Purchaser against that Defaulting Purchaser as a result of that Defaulting Purchaser’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Issuer as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Issuer against that Defaulting Purchaser as a result of that Defaulting Purchaser’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Purchaser or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that, if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Notes in respect of which that Defaulting Purchaser has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Notes were purchased at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.03 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Notes of all non-Defaulting Purchasers on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Notes of that Defaulting Purchaser. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Purchaser that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.12(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Purchaser, and each Purchaser irrevocably consents hereto.
(b) Defaulting Purchaser Cure. If the Issuer and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Purchaser should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Purchaser, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Purchaser will cease to be a Defaulting Purchaser; provided, that, no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Issuer while that Purchaser was a Defaulting Purchaser; provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Purchaser to Purchaser will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Purchaser having been a Defaulting Purchaser.
2.13 Third Tranche.
At any time on or after the Effective Date but prior to the earlier to occur of (x) the date that is two (2) years following the First Tranche Notes Issuance Date and (y) the termination of all unused Note Purchase Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) under the Note Documents, subject to the written approval of Athyrium, the Issuer may institute the Third Tranche in an aggregate amount not to exceed TWENTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ($25,000,000); provided, that,
49
(a) the Issuer shall have obtained commitments for the amount of the Third Tranche from existing Purchasers or other Persons reasonably acceptable to Athyrium, which Purchasers shall join in this Agreement pursuant to such agreements as are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;
(b) any such institution of the Third Tranche shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;
(c) (i) no Default or Event of Default shall exist and be continuing at the time of such institution, (ii) the use of proceeds for the Third Tranche shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (iii) the conditions precedent set forth in Sections 5.02 and 5.03 shall have been satisfied (or waived by Athyrium and the Third Tranche Purchasers) prior to or contemporaneously with the purchase of the Third Tranche Notes;
(d) (i) the final maturity date with respect to the Third Tranche Notes shall be the Maturity Date, (ii) the scheduled principal amortization payments for the Third Tranche shall be as set forth in Section 2.05(c) and (iii) the interest rate, repayment premiums and exit fees for the Third Tranche shall be identical to the interest rate, repayment premiums and exit fees, as the case may be, for the First Tranche and the Second Tranche;
(e) the Issuer shall have paid all fees and original issue discount required to be paid in connection therewith, including pursuant to Section 2.07(a);
(f) Schedule 2.01 shall be deemed revised to reflect the commitments and commitment percentages of the Third Tranche Note Purchasers, as set forth in the Third Tranche Joinder Agreement;
(g) no Purchaser shall be obligated to participate in the Third Tranche, which decision shall be made in the sole discretion of each Purchaser;
(h) the Third Tranche Purchasers, Athyrium, the Administrative Agent and the Credit Parties shall have entered into (i) the Third Tranche Joinder Agreement and (ii) such technical amendments to this Agreement as are necessary, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, to effect the inclusion of the Third Tranche herein; and
(i) as a condition precedent to such institution of the Third Tranche and the effectiveness of the Third Tranche Joinder Agreement, the Issuer shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Credit Party dated as of the date of such institution and effectiveness (in sufficient copies for each Purchaser) signed by a Responsible Officer of such Credit Party (i) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such Credit Party approving or consenting to the Third Tranche, and (ii) certifying that, before and after giving effect to the issuance of the Third Tranche Notes, (x) the representations and warranties contained in Article VI and the other Note Documents are true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect) on and as of the date of such issuance, except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct in all material respects (and in all respects if any such representation or warranty is already qualified by materiality or reference to Material Adverse Effect) as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this Section 2.13, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of Section 6.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 7.01, and (y) no Default or Event of Default exists.
50
ARTICLE III
TAXES, INCREASED COSTS AND YIELD PROTECTION
3.01 | Taxes. |
(a) All payments of principal and interest on the Notes and all other amounts payable hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future income, excise, stamp, documentary, property or franchise taxes and other taxes, fees, duties, levies, assessments, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever (including interest and penalties thereon) imposed by any taxing authority, excluding (w) taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated), franchise taxes, and branch profits taxes, in each case, imposed by the jurisdiction under which a Recipient is organized, has its principal office, or conducts business (or as a result of a present or former connection between such Recipient and the jurisdiction imposing such tax other than solely as the result of entering into any of the Note Documents or taking any action thereunder), (x) U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed on amounts payable to or for the account of a Recipient with respect to an applicable interest in a Note or Note Purchase Commitment pursuant to a Law in effect on the date on which (i) such Recipient acquires such interest in the Note or Note Purchase Commitment (other than pursuant to an assignment request by the Issuer pursuant to Section 11.13) or (ii) such Recipient changes its Purchasing Office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 3.01, amounts with respect to such taxes were payable either to such Recipient’s assignor immediately before such Recipient became a party hereto or to such Recipient immediately before it changed its Purchasing Office, (y) taxes attributable to such Recipient’s failure to comply with Section 3.01(d), and (z) any withholding tax imposed under FATCA (all non-excluded items being called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction of any Taxes from any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any applicable Law, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such withholding or deduction and shall pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority and (iii) the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased by such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the applicable Recipient will equal the full amount such Recipient would have received had no such withholding or deduction (including such withholdings or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) been required.
51
(b) If, due to a change in Sections 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code (or any successor provisions) after the date a Person becomes an Indirect Purchaser under this Agreement, any withholding is required to be made by a Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof to such Indirect Purchaser attributable to payments made by any Credit Party hereunder, such Credit Party shall pay to such Purchaser such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by any Indirect Purchaser will equal the full amount such Purchaser would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required; provided, that, in the event additional amounts are due in respect of an Indirect Purchaser, immediately before such Indirect Purchaser transfers a direct or indirect interest in a Purchaser to a transferee and withholding is required to be made by a Purchaser or any Affiliate to such transferee Indirect Purchaser attributable to payments to be made by any Credit Party hereunder, a Credit Party shall be required to pay additional amounts pursuant to this Section in an amount not exceeding the additional amounts payable prior to the transfer by the transferor Indirect Purchaser; provided, further, that, no such additional amounts shall be payable by a Credit Party to the extent such withholding could have been avoided by any Indirect Purchaser and each entity in the chain of ownership between such Indirect Purchaser and the Purchaser providing Internal Revenue Service Forms X-0, X-0XXX, X-0XXX, X-0XXX-X or W-8IMY (as applicable) or any successor forms thereto, to the Purchaser or other entity in the chain of ownership between such Indirect Purchaser and the Purchaser or had such Indirect Purchaser held the Notes directly, as applicable.
(c) The Issuer shall indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) the full amount of any Taxes (including Taxes imposed on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment by such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority and (ii) any amounts required to be paid by a Credit Party pursuant to clause (b) of this Section and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto.
(d) Each Purchaser that is not a U.S. Person that purports to become an assignee of an interest pursuant to Section 11.06 after the Effective Date (each such Purchaser a “Foreign Purchaser”) shall execute and deliver to each of the Issuer and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date that such Purchaser becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer or the Administrative Agent), one or more (as the Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8IMY (as applicable) and other applicable forms, certificates or documents prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service or reasonably requested by the Issuer or the Administrative Agent certifying as to such Purchaser’s entitlement to any available exemption from or reduction of withholding or deduction of taxes, including FATCA, including, without limitation, a certification establishing eligibility for the portfolio interest exemption in a form satisfactory to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent. Solely for purposes of this clause (c), FATCA shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the Effective Date. Each Purchaser that is a “United States person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall execute and deliver to the Issuer and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date such Purchaser becomes a party hereto (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Issuer or the Administrative Agent), one or more (as the Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably request) duly completed and executed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Purchaser is not subject to United States backup withholding.
(e) Each Purchaser agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall promptly update such form or certification, provide a successor form, or promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Issuer in writing of its legal inability to do so.
52
(f) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (e) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be constructed to require any indemnified party to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
3.02 | Increased Costs. |
(a) | Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall: |
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Purchaser;
(ii) subject any Recipient to any taxes (other than (A) Taxes that are covered by Section 3.01(a) and (B) taxes that are excluded from the definition of Taxes in Section 3.01(a)) on its notes (or any portion thereof), commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(iii) impose on any Purchaser or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than taxes) affecting this Agreement;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Purchaser of purchasing or maintaining any Note (or of maintaining its obligation to purchase any Note), then, upon written demand of such Purchaser, the Issuer will pay to such Purchaser, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Purchaser, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Purchaser determines that any Change in Law affecting such Purchaser or any Purchasing Office of such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Purchaser’s capital or on the capital of such Purchaser’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Note Purchase Commitments of such Purchaser or the Notes purchased by such Purchaser to a level below that which such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Purchaser’s policies and the policies of such Purchaser’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Issuer will pay to such Purchaser, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
53
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Purchaser setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Purchaser or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clause (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Issuer shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Issuer shall pay such Purchaser the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.
(d) Reserves. The Issuer shall pay to each Purchaser, (i) as long as such Purchaser shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Note equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Note by such Purchaser (as determined by such Purchaser in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), and (ii) as long as such Purchaser shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the maintenance of the Note Purchase Commitments or the purchase of the Notes, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Note Purchase Commitment or Note by such Purchaser (as determined by such Purchaser in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Note; provided, that, the Issuer shall have received at least ten (10) days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Purchaser. If a Purchaser fails to give notice ten (10) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable ten (10) days from receipt of such notice.
(e) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Purchaser to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Purchaser’s right to demand such compensation; provided, that, the Issuer shall not be required to compensate a Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Purchaser notifies the Issuer of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Purchaser’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
3.03 | Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Purchasers. |
(a) Designation of a Different Purchasing Office. If any Purchaser requests compensation under Section 3.02 or requires the Issuer to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.01 or if any Purchaser gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.04, then at the request of the Issuer such Purchaser shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Purchasing Office for funding or booking its Notes hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Purchaser, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.04, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Purchaser, as the case may be, to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Purchaser. The Issuer hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Purchaser in connection with any such designation or assignment.
54
(b) Replacement of Purchasers. If any Purchaser requests compensation under Section 3.02, or if the Issuer is required to pay any Taxes or additional amounts to any Purchaser or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Purchaser pursuant to Section 3.01 and, in each case, such Purchaser has declined or is unable to designate a different Purchasing Office in accordance with Section 3.03(a), the Issuer may replace such Purchaser in accordance with Section 11.13.
3.04 Illegality.
If any Purchaser determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Purchaser or its Purchasing Office to perform any of its obligations hereunder or to make, maintain or fund or charge interest with respect to any Note, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Purchaser to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Purchaser to the Issuer through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Purchaser to issue, make, maintain, fund or charge interest with respect to any such Note or to purchase any Note shall be suspended until such Purchaser notifies the Administrative Agent and the Issuer that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, the Issuer shall, upon demand from such Purchaser (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay the Notes of such Purchaser immediately.
3.05 Inability to Determine Rates.
(a) | If, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period: |
(i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining Three-Month LIBOR (or, the then current Benchmark) for such Interest Period; or
(ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Purchasers that Three-Month LIBOR (or, the then current Benchmark) for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Purchasers of making or maintaining the Notes for such Interest Period;
(iii) then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Issuer and the Purchasers as promptly as practicable thereafter. In the event of any such determination, until the Administrative Agent has advised the Issuer that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, Adjusted Three-Month LIBOR (or, the then current Benchmark) shall be determined by the Administrative Agent solely by reference to clause (b) of the definition of Adjusted Three-Month LIBOR (or, the corresponding clause with respect to the then current Benchmark, as the case may be).
55
(b) | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Note Document: |
(i) On March 5, 2021 the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), the regulatory supervisor of Three-Month LIBOR’s administrator (“IBA”), announced in a public statement the future cessation or loss of representativeness of Three-Month LIBOR tenor settings. On the earliest of (A) the date that Three-Month LIBOR has permanently or indefinitely ceased to be provided by IBA or has been announced by the FCA pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative, (B) June 30, 2023, and (C) the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of a SOFR Early Opt-in, if the then-current Benchmark is Three-Month LIBOR, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Note Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Note Document (other than any Benchmark Conforming Changes).
(ii) (A) Upon (1) the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, or (2) a determination by the Administrative Agent that the rate under clause (a) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” is not available or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Purchasers of purchasing and maintaining the Notes, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Note Document in respect of any Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Purchasers without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to (other than any Benchmark Conforming Changes), this Agreement or any other Note Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Purchasers comprising the Required Purchasers (and any such objection shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error).
(B) On the Early Opt-in Effective Date in respect of an Other Rate Early Opt-in, the Benchmark Replacement will replace Three-Month LIBOR for all purposes hereunder and under any Note Document in respect of any setting of such Benchmark on such day and all subsequent settings without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement or any other Note Document.
(iii) In connection with the implementation and administration of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Note Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(iv) The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Issuer and the Purchasers of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, any Purchaser pursuant to this Section 3.05(b), including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 3.05(b).
56
(v) At any time (including in connection with the implementation of a Benchmark Replacement), (A) if the then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR or Three-Month LIBOR), then the Administrative Agent may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings, and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for such Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.
3.06 Survival.
All of the Issuer’s obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Note Purchase Commitments, repayment of all Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE IV
GUARANTY
4.01 The Guaranty.
Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Secured Party and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same, without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other of the Note Documents, the obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Note Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render such obligations subject to avoidance under the Debtor Relief Laws or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law and, without prejudice to the foregoing, the obligations of Super Holdings under this Agreement and the other Note Documents shall be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not result in such obligations constituting unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 82 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland or would not constitute a transaction with a connected person in breach of Section 239 of the Companies Xxx 0000 of Ireland.
4.02 Obligations Unconditional.
The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 4.01 are joint and several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Note Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution, release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any law or regulation or other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor, it being the intent of this Section 4.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Issuer or any other Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article IV until such time as the Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full and the Note Purchase Commitments have expired or terminated.

(c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended in any respect, or any right under any of the Note Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Note Documents shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or otherwise dealt with;
(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, any Secured Party as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected; or
(e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including, without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor).
With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the Secured Parties exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Note Documents, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the Note Documents, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.
4.03 Reinstatement.
The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article IV shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any Secured Party, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify the Secured Parties on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Secured Parties in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
4.04 Certain Additional Waivers.
Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 4.02 and through the exercise of rights of contribution pursuant to Section 4.06.
58
4.05 Remedies.
The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in Section 9.02 (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the circumstances provided in said Section 9.02) for purposes of Section 4.01 notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 4.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Secured Parties may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.
4.06 Rights of Contribution.
The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made hereunder, each Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other Guarantors as permitted under applicable law. Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the obligations of such Guarantors under the Note Documents and no Guarantor shall exercise such rights of contribution until all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been paid in full and the Note Purchase Commitments have terminated.
4.07 Guarantee of Payment; Continuing Guarantee.

(q) Delisting. The Ordinary Shares of Super Holdings are delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market due to (i) a failure to comply with continued listing standards thereof (and such delisting continues for thirty (30) consecutive days) or (ii) a voluntary delisting, in each case of clause (i) and (ii), which results in such shares not being listed on any other national securities exchange in the United States having listing standards at least as restrictive as the NASDAQ Global Select Market (or is otherwise acceptable to the Administrative Agent).

One or more claims are made against any Credit Party or any Subsidiary with respect to the payment or reimbursement of, or indemnification for, as applicable, (i) Defense Costs (as defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement) pursuant to Section 7.4(b) of the Purchase and Sale Agreement and/or (ii) Losses (as defined in the Purchase and Sale Agreement) pursuant to Section 11.3 of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, in an aggregate amount exceeding $1,000,000 (other than to the extent the payment of any such claim is made within thirty (30) days thereof (or such later date otherwise agreed to by the Administrative Agent) with the proceeds of an issuance of Qualified Capital Stock of Super Holdings consummated substantially contemporaneously with such payment).
101
9.02 Remedies Upon Event of Default.
If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Purchasers, take any or all of the following actions:
(a) declare the commitment of each Purchaser to purchase Notes to be terminated, whereupon such commitments and obligation shall be terminated;
(b) declare the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts (including any repayment premium) owing or payable hereunder or under any other Note Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Issuer; and
(c) exercise on behalf of itself and the Purchasers all rights and remedies available to it and the Purchasers under the Note Documents;
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Issuer under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the obligation of each Purchaser to purchase Notes shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Notes and all interest and other amounts (including any repayment premium) as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser.
If the Obligations are accelerated for any reason, the repayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) and the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) will also be due and payable as though such Obligations were voluntarily prepaid and any discount on the Notes shall be deemed earned in full and, in each case, shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Purchaser’s lost profits as a result thereof. Any repayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) and any exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) payable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Purchaser as the result of the early termination and the Issuer agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. The repayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) and the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) shall also be payable and any discount on the Notes shall be deemed earned in full, in each case, in the event that the Obligations (and/or this Agreement) are satisfied or released by foreclosure (whether by power of judicial proceeding), deed in lieu of foreclosure or by any other means. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE ISSUER AND THE OTHER CREDIT PARTIES EXPRESSLY WAIVE THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE FOREGOING REPAYMENT PREMIUM, EXIT FEE AND ANY DISCOUNT ON THE NOTES IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Issuer and the other Credit Parties expressly agree that (i) the repayment premium required by Section 2.03(d), the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) and any discount on the Notes provided for herein is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel, (ii) the repayment premium required by Section 2.03(d), the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) and any discount on the Notes shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made, (iii) there has been a course of conduct between the Purchasers and the Issuer and the other Credit Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the repayment premium required by Section 2.03(d), the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) and any discount on the Notes, (iv) the Issuer and the other Credit Parties shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph and (v) the repayment premium required by Section 2.03(d), the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) and any discount on the Notes represent a good faith, reasonable estimate and calculation of the lost profits or damages of the Purchasers and that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to ascertain the actual amount of damages to the Purchasers or profits lost by the Purchasers as a result of any early termination. The Issuer and the other Credit Parties expressly acknowledge that their agreement to pay the repayment premium required by Section 2.03(d), the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b) and any discount on the Notes to the Purchasers as herein described is a material inducement to the Purchasers to purchase the Notes hereunder.
102
9.03 Application of Funds.
After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section 9.02 (or after the Notes have automatically become immediately due and payable as set forth in the proviso to Section 9.02), any amounts received by any Purchaser or the Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be applied by the Administrative Agent in the following order:
First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;
Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal, interest, repayment premium and exit fees) payable to the Purchasers (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Purchasers) arising under the Note Documents and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;
Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on, and repayment premium and exit fees with respect to, the Notes, ratably among the Purchasers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third held by them;
Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid principal of the Notes, ratably among the Secured Parties in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them; and
Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Issuer or as otherwise required by Law.
ARTICLE X
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
10.01 | Appointment and Authority. |
(a) Each of the Purchasers hereby irrevocably appoints Athyrium Opportunities IV Acquisition LP, a Delaware limited partnership, to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Note Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, and neither the Issuer nor any other Credit Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Note Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.
103
(b) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Note Documents, and each of the Purchasers hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Purchaser for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Credit Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article X and Article XI (including Section 11.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Note Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
10.02 Rights as a Purchaser.
The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Purchaser as any other Purchaser and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Purchaser” or “Purchasers” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Purchasers.
10.03 Exculpatory Provisions.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Note Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Note Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Note Documents); provided, that, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Note Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Purchaser in violation of any Debtor Relief Law; and
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Note Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
104
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Purchasers (or such other number or percentage of the Purchasers as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Section 11.01 and Section 9.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and non-appealable judgment. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Issuer or a Purchaser.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Note Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Note Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
10.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the purchase of a Note that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Purchaser, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Purchaser unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Purchaser prior to the purchase of such Note. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Credit Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
10.05 Delegation of Duties.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Note Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the purchase of the notes provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and non-appealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.
105
10.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent at any time by giving thirty (30) days advance notice thereof to the Purchasers and the Issuer and, thereafter, the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. Upon any such resignation, the Required Purchasers shall have the right, subject to the approval of the Issuer (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), to appoint a successor Administrative Agent. If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Purchasers, been approved (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) by the Issuer or have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Purchasers, appoint a successor Administrative Agent reasonably acceptable to the Issuer (so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing). Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Section 10.06 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Administrative Agent. If no successor has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Required Purchasers shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Purchasers appoint a successor agent as provided for above.
10.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Purchasers.
Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Purchaser also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Purchaser or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Note Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
10.08 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.
In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Note shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Issuer) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Notes and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Purchasers and the Administrative Agent under Section 11.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
106
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Purchaser to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Purchasers, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 11.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Purchaser any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Purchaser or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Purchaser in any such proceeding.
10.09 Collateral and Guaranty Matters.
The Purchasers irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
(a) to release any Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Note Document (i) upon termination of all unused Note Purchase Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) under the Note Documents, (ii) that is sold or otherwise disposed of or to be sold or otherwise disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other Disposition permitted hereunder or any Involuntary Disposition, or (iii) as approved in accordance with Section 11.01;
(b) to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Note Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 8.01(i); and
(c) to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Note Documents.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Purchasers will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty, pursuant to this Section 10.09.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate prepared by any Credit Party in connection therewith, nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Purchasers for any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.

(ii) postpone any date fixed by this Agreement or any other Note Document for any payment of principal (excluding mandatory prepayments), interest, repayment premiums, fees or other amounts due to the Purchasers (or any of them) or any scheduled or mandatory reduction of the Note Purchase Commitments hereunder or under any other Note Document without the written consent of each Purchaser entitled to receive such payment or whose Note Purchase Commitments are to be reduced;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Note Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Note Documents against the Credit Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.01 for the benefit of all the Secured Parties; provided, however, that, the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Note Documents, (b) any Purchaser from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 11.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.11), or (c) any Purchaser from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Credit Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that, if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Note Documents, then (i) the Required Purchasers shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.01 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.11, any Purchaser may, with the consent of the Required Purchasers, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Purchasers.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Credit Parties shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent, and one counsel in Ireland and each other material relevant local jurisdiction and one counsel in each relevant specialty area to the extent deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent), in connection with (A) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Investment Documents and (B) any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated) or the administration of this Agreement and the other Investment Documents and (ii) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser (including the fees, charges and disbursements of a single counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers, taken as a whole, and one counsel in Ireland and each other material relevant local jurisdiction and one counsel in each relevant specialty area to the extent deemed reasonably necessary by the Administrative Agent and, in the event of an actual or perceived conflict of interest among the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers additional counsel to the affected parties and, to the extent that a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to Section 10.06, one additional counsel for Athyrium), and shall pay all fees and time charges for attorneys who may be employees of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in connection with this Agreement and the other Investment Documents, including its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with the Notes purchased hereunder, including all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Notes.
111
(b) Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and each Purchaser, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person (including the Issuer or any other Credit Party) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Investment Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, the Indemnitee’s reliance on any Communication executed using an Electronic Signature), the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other Investment Documents, (ii) any Note or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by a Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to a Credit Party or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Issuer or any other Credit Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, in all cases, whether or not caused by or arising, in whole or in part, out of the comparative, contributory or sole negligence of the Indemnitee; provided, that, such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee, if the Issuer or such Credit Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Reimbursement by Purchasers. To the extent that the Credit Parties for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by them to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party thereof, each Purchaser severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Purchaser’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Purchaser’s share of the Total Credit Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Purchaser), such payment to be made severally among them based on such Purchasers’ Applicable Percentages (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought); provided, further, that, the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or against any Related Party thereof acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Purchasers under this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(b).
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Credit Party shall assert, and each Credit Party hereby waives, and acknowledges that no other Person shall have, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Investment Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Note or the use of the proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Investment Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(e) | Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten (10) Business Days after demand therefor. |
112
(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section and the indemnity provisions of Section 11.02(d) shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Purchaser, the termination of the Note Purchase Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations.
11.05 Payments Set Aside.
To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of any Credit Party is made to the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, or the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Purchaser in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Purchaser severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Purchasers under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
11.06 | Successors and Assigns. |
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Issuer may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser and no Purchaser may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of clause (b) of this Section, or (ii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (d) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. provided however, Athyrium has relied upon the terms of, and is an intended third party beneficiary of, Section 2.07, Section 2.13, Section 11.04(a), Section 11.06(b)(iv)(B) and Section 11.18 and is thus entitled to the benefits of the provisions thereof and may enforce the same, as if it were a party to this Agreement.
113
(b) Assignments by Purchasers. Any Purchaser may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Note Documents (including all or a portion of its Note Purchase Commitments under any Tranche and the Notes at the time owing to it (in each case with respect to any Tranche); provided, that, any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) | Securities Law Compliance. Each Purchaser agrees that: |
(A) if it should resell or otherwise transfer the Notes, in whole or in part, it will do so only pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, registration under the Securities Act, the applicable Laws of any applicable state or other jurisdiction relating to securities matters, the respective rules and regulations promulgated under any of the foregoing and the provisions of this Agreement and only to a Person that it reasonably believes, at the time any buy order for such Notes is originated, is (i) Super Holdings or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) for so long as the Notes are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A, a qualified institutional buyer (as defined in Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act) that purchases for its own account or for the account of a qualified institutional buyer, to whom notice is given that the transfer is being made in reliance on Rule 144A, or (iii) to a Person outside the United States in compliance with Rule 903 or 904 of Regulation S (if available), in each case unless consented to by the Issuer; and
(B) it will give each Person to whom it transfers any Note, in whole or in part, notice of the restrictions on transfer of the Note.
(ii) | Minimum Amounts. |
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Purchaser’s Note Purchase Commitment with respect to any Tranche and/or the Notes with respect to any Tranche at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(ii)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Purchaser, an Affiliate of a Purchaser or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in clause (b)(ii)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the applicable Note Purchase Commitment or, if the applicable Note Purchase Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Notes with respect to any Tranche of the assigning Purchaser subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);
(iii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all of the assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Notes or the Note Purchase Commitment assigned;
114
(iv) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clauses (b)(i) or (b)(ii)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a Purchaser, an Affiliate of a Purchaser or an Approved Fund; provided, that, the Issuer shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B) the consent of Athyrium (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (i) any unfunded Note Purchase Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Purchaser with a Note Purchase Commitment in respect of the applicable Tranche, an Affiliate of such Purchaser or an Approved Fund with respect to such Purchaser or (ii) any Note to a Person that is not a Purchaser, an Affiliate of a Purchaser or an Approved Fund;
(v) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption. The assignee, if it is not a Purchaser, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent such information, including notice information, as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably require.
(vi) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to Super Holdings, the Issuer or any of the their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries, (B) to any Defaulting Purchaser or any of its Subsidiaries or any Person who, upon becoming a Purchaser hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B) or (C) to a natural Person.
(vii) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Purchaser hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Issuer and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Notes previously requested to be purchased but not purchased by the Defaulting Purchaser, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Purchaser to the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Notes in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Purchaser hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Purchaser for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
115
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Purchaser under this Agreement, and the assigning Purchaser thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Purchaser’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Purchaser shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.02 and 11.04 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Upon request, the Issuer (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Purchaser.
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Issuer, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it (or the equivalent thereof in electronic form) and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Purchasers, and the Note Purchase Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Notes held by, each Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Issuer, the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Purchaser hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of designation, of any Purchaser as a Defaulting Purchaser. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Issuer and any Purchaser, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Certain Pledges. Any Purchaser may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note(s)) to secure obligations of such Purchaser, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided, that, no such pledge or assignment shall release such Purchaser from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Purchaser as a party hereto.
(e) Athyrium Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, this Section 11.06) or any other Note Document, the Administrative Agent, the Purchasers and the Credit Parties agree that Athyrium Opportunities IV Acquisition 2 LP shall be permitted to assign all of its then outstanding Notes and unfunded Note Purchase Commitments to Athyrium Opportunities IV Acquisition LP. As of the Effective Date, it is contemplated that such assignment shall occur one (1) Business Day following the First Tranche Notes Issuance Date. In connection therewith, (i) Athyrium Opportunities IV Acquisition 2 LP shall give notice to the Administrative Agent that such assignment shall have been consummated and (ii) the Issuer shall deliver such replacement Notes to Athyrium Opportunities IV Acquisition LP as it shall request.
116
11.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.
Each of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent required or requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) as may be reasonably necessary in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Note Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Note Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of, or any prospective assignee of o, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to a Credit Party and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (g) on a confidential basis to (i) any rating agency in connection with rating Super Holdings or its Subsidiaries or the notes to be purchased hereunder or (ii) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers or other market identifiers with respect to the notes to be purchased hereunder, (h) with the consent of the Issuer, (i) to the members of its investment committee (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential) or (j) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Purchaser or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Issuer.
For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Credit Party or any Subsidiary relating to the Credit Parties or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by such Credit Party or any Subsidiary; provided, that, in the case of information received from a Credit Party or any Subsidiary after the Effective Date, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
11.08 Set-off.
If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Purchaser and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Purchaser or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Issuer or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of the Issuer or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Note Document to such Purchaser or its Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Purchaser or Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Note Document and although such obligations of the Issuer or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch office or Affiliate of such Purchaser different from the branch office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that, in the event that any Defaulting Purchaser shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.12 and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Purchaser from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Purchasers and (y) the Defaulting Purchaser shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Purchaser as to which it exercised such right of setoff. The rights of each Purchaser and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Purchaser or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Purchaser agrees to notify the Issuer and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided, that, the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
117
11.09 Interest Rate Limitation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Note Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Note Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Notes or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Issuer. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Purchaser exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
11.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness; Electronic Signatures.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement, the other Investment Documents, and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent, constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 5.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic imaging means (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
This Agreement, any Investment Document and any other Communication, including Communications required to be in writing, may be in the form of an Electronic Record and may be executed using Electronic Signatures. Each of the Credit Parties and each of the Administrative Agent, and each Purchaser agrees that any Electronic Signature on or associated with any Communication shall be valid and binding on such Person to the same extent as a manual, original signature, and that any Communication entered into by Electronic Signature, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such Person in accordance with the terms thereof to the same extent as if a manually executed original signature was delivered. Any Communication may be executed in as many counterparts as necessary or convenient, including both paper and electronic counterparts, but all such counterparts are one and the same Communication. For the avoidance of doubt, the authorization under this paragraph may include, without limitation, use or acceptance of a manually signed paper Communication which has been converted into electronic form (such as scanned into PDF format), or an electronically signed Communication converted into another format, for transmission, delivery and/or retention. The Administrative Agent and each of the Note Parties may, at its option, create one or more copies of any Communication in the form of an imaged Electronic Record (“Electronic Copy”), which shall be deemed created in the ordinary course of such Person’s business, and destroy the original paper document. All Communications in the form of an Electronic Record, including an Electronic Copy, shall be considered an original for all purposes, and shall have the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a paper record. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is not under any obligation to accept an Electronic Signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by such Person pursuant to procedures approved by it; provided, further, without limiting the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent, has agreed to accept such Electronic Signature, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on any such Electronic Signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Credit Party and/or the Administrative Agent and any Purchaser without further verification and regardless of the appearance or form of such Electronic Signature, and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser, any Communication executed using an Electronic Signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart.
118
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into the sufficiency, validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of any Investment Document or any other agreement, instrument or document (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any Electronic Signature transmitted by telecopy, emailed .pdf or any other electronic means). The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on, and shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Investment Document by acting upon, any Communication or any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent or otherwise authenticated (whether or not such Person in fact meets the requirements set forth in the Investment Documents for being the maker thereof).
Each of the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any other Investment Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement, such other Investment Document and (ii) any claim against the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser for any liabilities arising solely from the Administrative Agent’s and/or any Purchaser’s reliance on or use of Electronic Signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Credit Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any Electronic Signature.
11.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties.
All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Note Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Note or other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Purchaser, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Purchaser may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Notes Issuance, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Note or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.
11.12 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or the other Note Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Note Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this Section 11.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this Agreement relating to Defaulting Purchasers shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in good faith by the Administrative Agent, then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
119
11.13 Replacement of Purchasers.
If the Issuer is entitled to replace a Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.03 or if any Purchaser is a Defaulting Purchaser or a Non-Consenting Purchaser, then the Issuer may, at its sole expense and effort, upon written notice to such Purchaser and the Administrative Agent, require such Purchaser to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 11.06), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Note Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Purchaser, if a Purchaser accepts such assignment); provided, that:
(a) such Purchaser shall have received payment of an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of (x) the outstanding principal of its Notes, accrued interest thereon and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Note Documents (other than repayment premium and exit fees) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest) or the Issuer (in the case of all other amounts) and (y) the repayment premium required by Section 2.03(d) and the exit fee required by Section 2.07(b), in each case, from the Issuer, as if such assignment was a prepayment of one hundred percent (100%) of the outstanding principal amount of such assignor’s Notes on the effective date of such assignment;
(b) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws;
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 3.02 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(d) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a Non-Consenting Purchaser’s failure to consent to a proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination with respect to any Note Document, the applicable replacement bank, financial institution or Fund consents to the proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination; provided, that, the failure by such Non-Consenting Purchaser to execute and deliver an Assignment and Assumption shall not impair the validity of the removal of such Non-Consenting Purchaser and the mandatory assignment of such Non-Consenting Purchaser’s outstanding Notes pursuant to this Section 11.13 shall nevertheless be effective without the execution by such Non-Consenting Purchaser of an Assignment and Assumption.
A Purchaser shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Purchaser or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Issuer to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
11.14 | Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc. |
(a) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and the other NOTE Documents (EXCEPT, AS TO ANY OTHER NOTE DOCUMENT, AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH THEREIN) and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other NOTE Document (except, as to any other NOTE Document, as expressly set forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of NEW YORK.
