that any such limitations or restrictions are no more restrictive than those
customarily found in issuances of high yield Debt by issuers with similar
creditworthiness as the Company at the time of the issuance or incurrence of such
Debt; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit any provision in any
Permitted Senior Debt Document that restricts the Company from designating any of
its subsidiaries that holds material intellectual property or that engages in
specified businesses as an unrestricted subsidiary (i.e., a subsidiary designated
by the Company to be free of various covenant and other restrictions) under such
Permitted Senior Debt Document; and provided further that, in any
event, such restrictions or limitations (individually or taken as a whole) could not
reasonably be expected have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Loan

shares of its common stock in connection with any conversion of its convertible
Debt, upon the exercise of options or warrants or otherwise.”

payments of cash in lieu of fractional shares upon any such conversion or (F) to the
extent that such prepayment, redemption, purchase, defeasance or other satisfaction
is made with Net Debt Proceeds; provided that (1) no Default under Section
6.01(a) or (e) or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (2) no
amounts shall be due or outstanding in respect of the Convertible Notes (unless
funds in an amount not less than the Required Escrow Amount are on deposit in the
Permitted Senior Debt Cash Collateral Account) and (3) the Agent shall have received
a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Company certifying compliance with
the foregoing clauses (1) and (2).”
(s) Section 5.02 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following new
Section 5.02(l):
“(l) Other Debt Covenants. The Company shall not, and shall not permit
any of its Subsidiaries, to enter into any agreement, instrument or other document
governing the terms of any Permitted Senior Debt which has (A) any financial
maintenance covenant or similar covenant or provision measuring the financial
condition, operating results or capitalization of the Company and/or any of its
Subsidiaries which is more restrictive on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
than the corresponding covenant or provision contained in the Loan Documents or (B)
additional financial maintenance covenants or similar covenants or provisions
measuring the financial condition, operating results or capitalization of the
Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries which are not contained in the Loan
Documents, unless, in each case, the Loan Parties amend the Loan Documents to
contain such additional or more restrictive covenants or similar provisions. The
Required Lenders hereby consent to, and direct the Agent (on behalf of the Lenders)
to execute and deliver to the Loan Parties, any such amendment, on terms and
conditions satisfactory to the Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section
5.02(l) does not apply to financial performance measurements that may be used to
test compliance with any incurrence-based covenants contained in any such agreement,
instrument or other document (at the time of any such incurrence).”
(t) Section 6.01(c)(i) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read
as follows:
“(i) The Company shall fail to perform or observe any term, covenant or
agreement contained in Sections 2.22, 5.01(d), 5.01(e), clauses (i) through (vii)
and (ix) of 5.01(h), 5.02 or 5.03, or”.

aggregate (but excluding Debt outstanding hereunder) of the Company or such
Subsidiary (as the case may be), when the same becomes due and payable (whether by
scheduled maturity,
6
required prepayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise), and such failure shall
continue after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or
instrument relating to such Debt; or any other event shall occur or condition shall
exist under any agreement or instrument relating to any such Debt and shall continue
after the applicable grace period, if any, specified in such agreement or
instrument, if the effect of such event or condition is to cause, or to permit the
holders or beneficiaries of such Debt (or a trustee or agent on behalf of such
holders or beneficiaries) to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such Debt
to be demanded or to become due or to be repurchased, prepaid, defeased or redeemed
(automatically or otherwise), or an offer to repurchase, prepay, defease or redeem
such Debt to be made, in each case prior to the stated maturity of such Debt; or any
such Debt shall be declared to be due and payable, or required to be prepaid or
redeemed (other than by a regularly scheduled required prepayment or redemption),
purchased or defeased, or an offer to prepay, redeem, purchase or defease such Debt
shall be required to be made, in each case prior to the stated maturity thereof; or”

BANKRUPTCY:
|
In connection with any Insolvency Proceeding of any Obligor: |
• | Filing of Motions: The Second Lien Parties shall not file any motion, take any position in any proceeding, or take any other action in respect of the Collateral (except filing of a proof of claim and certain customary protective rights and rights under the Intercreditor Agreement) (including any motion seeking relief from the automatic stay). |
• | DIP Financing: If the First Lien Parties desire to permit the sale or use of any collateral, or to permit any Obligor to obtain debtor-in- |
possession financing in an amount, together with the First Lien Obligations that would remain outstanding after giving effect to such debtor-in-possession financing, that does not exceed the First Lien Cap plus $100,000,000 (a “DIP Financing”), then, so long as any Liens on the collateral securing the DIP Financing are senior to or pari passu with the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations, the Second Lien Parties shall: (i) be deemed to accept, and will not object or support any objection to, such sale or use or any such DIP Financing, (ii) not request or accept any form of adequate protection or any other relief in connection therewith except as set forth below and (iii) subordinate its Liens to such DIP Financing, any adequate protection provided to the First Lien Parties and any “carve-out” for fees agreed to by the Agent to the same extent that the Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are subordinated to the Liens securing the First Lien Obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent the Second Lien Parties from proposing any other DIP Financing to any Obligor or to a court of competent jurisdiction; and provided further, that the foregoing shall not prevent the Second Lien Parties from objecting to (x) any aspect of a DIP Financing relating to any provision or content of a plan of reorganization or any sub xxxx plan or (y) any DIP Financing if the Second Lien Parties do not receive replacement Liens on all post-petition assets of any Obligor in which any of the First Lien Parties obtain a replacement Lien (to the extent constituting Collateral), in each case with the same priority as existed prior to such Insolvency Proceeding. |
• | Sales: None of the Second Lien Parties shall oppose any sale conducted in accordance with Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code that is supported by the Agent, and the Second Lien Parties will be deemed to have consented to any such sale and to have released their Liens in such assets, so long as the Liens of the Second Lien Parties attach to the proceeds of any such sale (with the Liens on such proceeds to be subject to the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement). |
• | Adequate Protection: No Second Lien Party shall contest (i) any request by the First Lien Parties for adequate protection or (ii) any objection by the First Lien Parties to any motion, etc. based on the First Lien Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection or (iii) the payment of interest, fees, expenses or other amounts to the Agent or any other First Lien Party. However, (a) if the First Lien Parties are granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral in connection with any DIP Financing or use of cash collateral, then the Second Lien Parties may seek adequate protection in the form of a lien on such additional collateral (subordinated to the liens securing the First Lien Obligations and such DIP Financing on the same basis as the other Liens securing the Second Lien Obligations are so |
subordinated to the First Lien Obligations under the Intercreditor Agreement), (b) in the event the any Second Lien Party is granted adequate protection in the form of additional collateral, then the First Lien Parties shall have a senior Lien and claim on such additional collateral and (c) in the event the First Lien Party is granted adequate protection in the form of a superpriority claim, then the Second Lien Parties may seek adequate protection in the form of a junior superpriority claim, subordinated to the superpriority claim granted to the First Lien Parties. |
• | Avoidance Issues: If any First Lien Party is required to disgorge or otherwise pay any amount to the estate of any Obligor for any reason (a “Recovery”), then the First Lien Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such Recovery and the Discharge of the First Lien Obligations shall be deemed not to have occurred. |
• | Separate Grants of Security and Classifications: The grants of Liens pursuant to the First Lien Credit Documents and the Second Lien Credit Documents constitute two separate and distinct grants of Liens. If it is held that the claims constitute only one secured claim, then all distributions shall be made as if there were separate classes of secured claims. The First Lien Parties and the Second Lien Parties shall be entitled to vote as a separate class on any plan of reorganization. |
• | Post-Petition Interest: No Second Lien Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim of any First Lien Party for post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of any First Lien Party’s Lien, without regard to the existence of the Liens of the Second Lien Parties in respect of the Collateral. No First Lien Party shall oppose or seek to challenge any claim of any Second Lien Party for post-petition interest, fees or expenses to the extent of the value of the Liens of the Second Lien Parties in respect of the Collateral, after taking into account the value of the First Lien Obligations. |
• | No Waiver by First Lien Parties: Except with respect to requests for post-petition interest, fees and expenses as described above, no First Lien Party shall be prohibited from objecting to any action taken by the Second Lien Parties (or any agent on their behalf). |
• | Plan of Reorganization. No Second Lien Party shall be prevented from exercising its rights to vote in favor of or against a plan of reorganization. |
PURCHASE OPTION:
|
Upon acceleration, bankruptcy or commencement of enforcement proceedings, the Second Lien Parties shall have a one-time right to purchase, within 30 days of such event, at par, the First Lien Obligations. |
PERFECTION OF
CERTAIN SECURITY
INTERESTS:
|
With respect to any Collateral that can be perfected by the possession or control (including any account in which such Collateral is held), and if such Collateral or any such account is in fact in the possession or under the control of the Agent, the Agent will serve as gratuitous bailee (and, with respect to deposit accounts, gratuitous agent) for the Second Lien Parties for the sole purpose of perfecting the junior Liens of the Second Lien Parties in such Collateral, in each case without any representation or warranty by the Agent of any kind. | |
AGENT PROVISIONS:
|
Each of the Agent and Second Lien Agent is executing and delivering the Intercreditor Agreement solely in its capacity as agent for the First Lien Parties or the Second Lien Parties, as the case may be, and pursuant to the direction set forth in the First Lien Credit Documents or the Second Lien Credit Documents, as the case may be. Neither the Agent nor the Second Lien Agent shall be responsible for the terms or sufficiency of the Intercreditor Agreement for any purpose. Neither the Agent nor the Second Lien Agent shall have any duties or obligations under or pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement other than such duties as may be expressly set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement as duties on its part to be performed or observed. In entering into the Intercreditor Agreement, or in taking (or forbearing from) any action under or pursuant to the Intercreditor Agreement, each of the Agent and the Second Lien Agent shall have and be protected by all of the rights, immunities, indemnities and other protections granted to it under the First Lien Credit Documents or the Second Lien Credit Documents, as the case may be. Neither the Agent nor the Second Lien Agent shall have any liability or responsibility for the actions or omissions of any other Secured Party, or for any other Secured Party’s compliance with (or failure to comply with) the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement. | |
