11.2 Acceleration. If an Event of Default occurs under Section 11.1(a), (h), (i), or (p), then the outstanding principal of and interest on the Notes shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived. Subject to Section 11.3 below, if any other Event of Default, occurs and is continuing, the Required Holders, by written notice to the Borrower, may declare the principal of and interest on the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration of acceleration, such principal and interest shall become immediately due and payable, each holder of any Note shall be entitled to exercise all of its rights and remedies hereunder and under its Note whether at law or in equity.
11.3 Standstill.
(a) Solely with respect to an occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 11.1(n), (o) or (q), and for the period of time commencing on the date of such occurrence and ending on the date that is fifteen (15) days following such occurrence (together with any extension thereof, the “Standstill Period”), the Holders of the Notes shall not be permitted to (i) make a declaration of acceleration under Section 11.2 or (ii) take any FaceBank Enforcement Action against the FaceBank Collateral; provided, that the Borrower may elect to extend the Standstill Period by fifteen (15) days by delivering irrevocable written notice of such election to the Purchaser no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of the then current Standstill Period (the “First Standstill Extension”), at which time the Exercise Price (as such term is defined in the Warrant) of the Warrant shall automatically and without further action by any party be reduced to $0.01; provided, further that after the First Standstill Extension, the Borrower may elect to further extend the Standstill Period by an additional fifteen (15) days by delivering irrevocable written notice of such election to the Purchaser no later than one (1) Business Day prior to the expiration of the then current Standstill Period (the “Second Standstill Extension”), at which time the number of Warrant Shares (as such term is defined in the Warrant) shall automatically and without further action by any party be doubled. In no event shall the Standstill Period exceed forty-five (45) days without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 11.3(a) shall not prohibit Purchaser from taking any FaceBank Enforcement Actions against or under the FuboTV Loan Agreement or the FuboTV Merger Documents.
(b) During the Standstill Period, in addition to the covenants and agreements contained herein, the Loan Parties hereby jointly and severally covenant and agree with the Holders as follows:
(i) no Loan Party shall, nor shall any Loan Party permit any of its Subsidiaries to (A) open or establish any new deposit account or securities account, nor move any assets into or between such accounts outside of the ordinary course of business, or (B) issue any Capital Stock of FaceBank or any Subsidiaries, unless the Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom are promptly but in no event more than one (1) Business Day after receipt by such Loan Party, paid to the Purchaser to satisfy in full all Obligations;
(ii) FaceBank shall not terminate the FuboTV Merger Agreement or exercise any of its remedies pursuant to the FuboTV Merger Agreement or any other FuboTV Merger Documents;
(iii) no Loan Party shall, nor shall any Loan Party permit any of its Subsidiaries to engage in any transaction, except (A) in the ordinary course of business or (B) to effectuate a refinancing in full of the Notes; and
31 |
(iv) each Loan Party shall and shall cause each of its respective Subsidiaries to take any and all actions requested by the Purchaser (A) to effectuate the collateral assignment of the FuboTV Loan Agreement and the FuboTV Merger Documents or to exercise any rights and remedies thereunder or in connection therewith and (B) to perfect a lien or protect the collateral pledged by FuboTV under the FuboTV Loan Agreement.
(c) Any failure to comply with Section 11.3(b), or the occurrence of any other Event of Default hereunder shall cause the Standstill Period to immediately terminate, without any further action by any party.
11.4 Set-Off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, in addition to all other rights and remedies that may then be available to any Holder of Notes, each such Holder is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower) to set-off and apply any and all indebtedness at any time owing by such Holder to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries against all amounts which may be owed to such Holder by the Borrower or its Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement or any Notes. If any Holder of Notes shall obtain from any Borrower payment of any principal of or interest on any Note or payment of any other amount under this Agreement or any Note held by it or any other Note Document through the exercise of any right of set-off, and, as a result of such payment, such Holder shall have received a greater percentage of the principal, interest or other amounts then due hereunder by the Borrower to such Holder than the percentage received by any other Holders, it shall promptly make such adjustments with such other Holders from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Holders of Notes shall share the benefit of such excess payment (net of any expenses which may be incurred by such Holder in obtaining or preserving such excess payment) pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal and/or interest on the Notes or other amounts (as the case may be) owing to each of the Holders of the Notes. To such end, all the Holders of the Notes shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Any Holder of any Note taking action under this Section 11.3 shall promptly provide notice to the Borrower of any such action taken; provided, that the failure of such Holder to provide such notice shall not prejudice its rights hereunder.
11.5 Cumulative Remedies. The enumeration of the rights and remedies of the Purchaser set forth in this Agreement is not intended to be exhaustive and the exercise by the Purchaser of any right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other rights or remedies, all of which shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given hereunder or under the other Note Documents or that may now or hereafter exist at law or in equity or by suit or otherwise. No delay or failure to take action on the part of the Purchaser in exercising any right, power or privilege shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege or shall be construed to be a waiver of any Event of Default. No course of dealing between the Borrower, the Purchaser or their respective agents or employees shall be effective to change, modify or discharge any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents or to constitute a waiver of any Event of Default.

INDEMNIFICATION
12.1 Indemnification. In addition to all other sums due hereunder or provided for in this Agreement, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, jointly and severally, shall indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, Subsidiaries, partners, members, attorneys, accountants and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) to the fullest extent permitted by law from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel and costs of investigation incurred by an Indemnified Party in any action or proceeding between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries and such Indemnified Party (or Indemnified Parties) or between an Indemnified Party (or Indemnified Parties) and any third party or otherwise) or other liabilities or losses (collectively, “Liabilities”), in each case resulting from or arising out of any breach of any representation or warranty, covenant or agreement of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in this Agreement or any other Note Document, including without limitation, the failure to make payment when due of amounts owing pursuant to this Agreement or any other Note Document, on the due date thereof (whether at the scheduled maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) or any legal, administrative or other actions (including, without limitation, actions brought by any holders of equity or Debt of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or derivative actions brought by any Person claiming through or in the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ name), proceedings or investigations (whether formal or informal), or written threats thereof, based upon, relating to or arising out of the Note Documents, the transactions contemplated thereby, or any Indemnified Party’s role therein or in the transactions contemplated thereby; provided, however, that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall not be liable under this Section 12.1 to an Indemnified Party to the extent such Liabilities resulted from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Party; provided, further, that if and to the extent that such indemnification is unenforceable for any reason other than willful misconduct or gross negligence, the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, jointly and severally, shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such Liabilities which shall be permissible under Requirements of Law. In connection with the obligation of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries to indemnify for expenses as set forth above, each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries further agrees, upon presentation of invoices, to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all such expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel and costs of investigation incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with any Liabilities) as they are incurred by such Indemnified Party.
12.2 Procedure; Notification. Each Indemnified Party under this Article 12 will, after the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action, investigation, claim or other proceeding against such Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Borrower and its Subsidiaries under this Article 12, notify the Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof. The omission of any Indemnified Party to so notify the Borrower of any such action shall not relieve the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party unless such omission substantially and irrevocably impairs the Borrower’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ ability to defend the action, claim or other proceeding. In case any such action, claim or other proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Borrower of the commencement thereof, the Borrower shall, with Purchaser’s consent, be entitled to assume the defense thereof at its own expense, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in its reasonable judgment; provided, that any Indemnified Party may, at its own expense, retain separate counsel to participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any action, claim or proceeding in which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and an Indemnified Party, on the other hand, is, or is reasonably likely to become, a party, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel at the Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s expense and to control its own defense of such action, claim or proceeding if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, that would make such separate representation advisable. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if any Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually threatened to be made a party thereto) unless (i) such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Purchaser and each other Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of such claim, action or proceeding (ii) the Borrower has provided reasonable prior notice thereof and (iii) the Purchaser has provided its prior written consent to such settlement, compromise or consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The rights accorded to Indemnified Parties hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Indemnified Party may have at common law, by separate agreement or otherwise.

13.3 Successors and Assigns.
(a) This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto. Subject to applicable securities laws, the Purchaser may transfer any of its Notes in whole or in part and may assign its rights under the Note Documents at any time. The Purchaser may, without the consent of Borrower, assign, bifurcate, syndicate, sell or grant a participation in all or any portion of the Obligations in a private transaction not constituting a public offering, and the Borrower hereby agrees to cooperate in any such transaction. Such transaction shall be negotiated, executed and performed at the Purchaser’s cost and expense; provided that, the Borrower shall be responsible for its own legal fees in connection therewith. The Purchaser shall endeavor to provide written notice to the Borrower of any assignment within five (5) Business Days after the date of such assignment, provided that the failure to so deliver shall not affect the validity of such assignment, or create any liability on the part of the Borrower or the applicable assignee.
(b) Any Holder may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrower, sell to one or more Persons participating interests in its Notes or other interests hereunder (any such Person, a “Participant”). In the event of a sale by a Holder of a participating interest to a Participant, (i) such Holder’s obligations hereunder shall remain unchanged for all purposes, (ii) Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Holder in connection with such Holder’s rights and obligations hereunder and (iii) all amounts payable by Borrower shall be determined as if such Holder had not sold such participation and shall be paid directly to such Holder. No Participant shall have any direct or indirect voting rights hereunder except with respect to any event described in Section 13.4. In the event that a Holder sells a participation, the Holder, as a non fiduciary agent on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain (or cause to be maintained) in the United States a register (the “Participant Register”) on which it enters the name and addresses of all participants in the Obligations held by it and the rights of such participants in the Obligations (including principal amount, interest thereon, and fees of the portion of such Obligations that is subject to such participations). No Holder shall have an obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register to any Person (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Obligation), except as otherwise required by applicable law and to the Borrower at their reasonable request and then, solely to the extent that such disclosure is required to establish that such participation or Obligation is in registered form under Sections 5f.103-1(c) and 1.871-14(c) of the Treasury Regulations. Any participation or transfer thereof may be effected only by the registration of such participation on the Participant Register.
(c) The Borrower may not assign any of its rights, or delegate any of its obligations, under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Required Holders, and any such purported assignment by the Borrower without the written consent of the Required Holders shall be void and of no effect. Except as provided in Article 12, no Person other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns is intended to be a beneficiary of any of the Note Documents.
13.4 Amendment and Waiver.
(a) No failure or delay on the part of any of the parties hereto in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for in this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies that may be available to the parties hereto at law, in equity or otherwise.
(b) Any amendment, waiver, supplement or modification of or to any provision of this Agreement, and any consent to any departure by any party from the terms of any provision of this Agreement, shall be effective (i) only if it is made or given in writing and signed by the Borrower and the Required Holders (unless such provision specifically states that such approval is only required by the Purchaser) and (ii) only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which made or given.
35 |
(c) Except where notice is specifically required by this Agreement, no notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
13.5 Signatures; Counterparts. Facsimile or any other electronic transmission of any executed original document and/or retransmission of any executed facsimile transmission shall be deemed to be the same as the delivery of an executed original. At the request of any party hereto, the other parties hereto shall confirm facsimile or other electronic transmissions by executing duplicate original documents and delivering the same to the requesting party or parties. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
13.6 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
13.7 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND ENFORCED UNDER, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW OF SUCH STATE.
13.8 JURISDICTION, JURY TRIAL WAIVER, ETC.
(a) EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT THE ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY AGREEMENTS OR TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS TO THE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS FOR THE PURPOSES THEREOF AND EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM OF IMPROPER VENUE AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 13.2.
(b) EACH LOAN PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OF THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OF SUCH RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS. EACH OF LOAN PARTIES AND THEIR SUBSIDIARIES (i) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE PURCHASER HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT THE PURCHASER WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVERS AND (ii) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PURCHASER HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE OTHER NOTE DOCUMENTS TO WHICH IT IS PARTY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS CONTAINED HEREIN.
36 |
13.9 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement, or the application thereof in any circumstance, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired, unless the provisions held invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall substantially impair the benefits of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. The parties hereto further agree to replace such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision.
13.10 Rules of Construction. Unless the context otherwise requires, “or” is not exclusive, and references to sections or subsections refer to sections or subsections of this Agreement.
13.11 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto and the other Note Documents, is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained in this Agreement, the exhibits and schedules hereto and the other Note Documents. There are no restrictions, promises, warranties or undertakings, other than those set forth or referred to herein or therein. This Agreement, together with the exhibits and schedules hereto, and the other Note Documents supersede all prior agreements and understandings between the parties with respect to such subject matter.
13.12 Certain Expenses. The Borrower will pay all expenses of the Purchaser (including, without limitation, reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Purchaser) in connection with (a) any enforcement, amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or to any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Note Documents or any documents relating thereto (including, without limitation, a response to a request by the Borrower for the consent of the Required Holders or the Purchaser to any action otherwise prohibited hereunder or thereunder), (b) consent to any departure from, the terms of any provision of this Agreement or such other documents, and (c) any redemption of the Notes or any equity or other interests in the Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Borrower owned by such Holder.
13.13 Publicity. Except as may be required by Requirements of Law (including filings by any Holder with the United States Securities Exchange Commission as required under the Securities Act or other applicable law), none of the parties hereto shall issue a publicity release or announcement or otherwise make any public disclosure concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, without prior approval by the other party hereto. If any announcement is required by law to be made by any party hereto, prior to making such announcement such party will deliver a draft of such announcement to the other parties and shall give the other parties an opportunity to comment thereon. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any party to this Agreement and the other Note Documents (and any employee, representative, or other agent of any such party) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, such party’s tax treatment and the tax structure of the Transactions and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to it relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided, however, notwithstanding the above, any such information and materials shall be kept confidential to the extent necessary to comply with applicable securities laws. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall be permitted to disclose this Agreement and the Note Documents to any Governmental Authority in connection with any licensing or accreditation necessary or desirable to the conduct of the Borrower’s business (it being understood that the Borrower shall provide advance notice of such disclosure to the Purchaser, to the extent practicable).
13.14 Further Assurances. Each of the parties shall execute such documents and perform such further acts (including, without limitation, obtaining any consents, exemptions, authorizations, or other actions by, or giving any notices to, or making any filings with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person) as may be required or desirable to carry out or to perform the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation, any post-closing assignment(s) by any Holder of a portion of the Notes to a Person not currently a party hereto, subject to the limitations set forth herein.
