(b) To the extent that the Debtors, in consultation with the Prepetition Agents, determine, in good faith and consistent with the Debtors’ fiduciary duties, that a Proposed Alternative Transaction would reasonably be expected to provide better recovery to holders of Claims and Equity Interests in the Debtors as compared to the recovery such holders would receive pursuant to the transactions contemplated herein, including consummation of the Restructuring (such Proposed Alternative Transaction, a “Superior Alternative Transaction”), the Debtors may negotiate, provide due diligence in connection with, discuss, and/or analyze such Superior Alternative Transaction without breaching or terminating this Agreement; provided that a determination by the Board, in good faith, after consulting its outside legal counsel, that proceeding with the Restructuring and pursuit of confirmation and consummation of the Plan or consummation of the Transactions instead of a Superior Alternative Transaction would be a breach of the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable law shall be required prior to the Debtors electing to enter into a Superior Alternative Transaction; provided further that the Debtors shall, prior to electing to enter into a Superior Alternative Transaction, provide the Prepetition Agents with seven (7) Business Days’ written notice of their intent to enter into such Superior Alternative Transaction, with such notice to include the definitive documentation with respect to such Superior Alternative Transaction (such seven (7) Business Day notice period, the “Alternative Transaction Notice Period”).
(c) At any time during the Alternative Transaction Notice Period, the Supporting Lenders may submit to the Debtors a proposal for one or more Alternative Transactions (any such proposal, a “Revised Supporting Lender Proposal”). The Debtors shall, (i) promptly following the receipt of any Revised Supporting Lender Proposal, determine in consultation with the Prepetition Agents whether the Revised Supporting Lender Proposal would reasonably be expected to provide equal or better recovery to holders of Claims and Equity Interests in the Debtors as compared to the recovery such holders would receive pursuant to the Superior Alternative Transaction, and (ii) if so, immediately terminate any negotiations, provision of due diligence or other discussions in connection with such Superior Alternative Transaction.
(d) If the Debtors notify counsel to the Prepetition Agents that the Debtors have entered, or will be entering, into definitive documentation with respect to a Superior Alternative Transaction, all obligations of the Supporting Lenders shall immediately terminate and all of the Supporting Lenders’ rights shall be reserved.
Section 7.6 Insurance. The Company shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) provide the Supporting Lenders with all cooperation, information and assistance reasonably requested by the Supporting Lenders in connection with obtaining the Post-Restructuring Insurance, including providing any prospective insurer (and its advisors and representatives) access to information, documents and personnel as may reasonably be requested by such Persons.

(b) In consideration of the Supporting Lenders having expended considerable time and expense in connection with this Agreement, the Plan and the Definitive Documentation, the Debtors shall pay to the Supporting Lenders the Expense Reimbursement Amount upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1 (other than pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i), Section 9.1(d)(iii), Section 9.1(d)(iv) or Section 9.1(d)(v)). Such Expense Reimbursement Amount shall be due and payable within five (5) Business Days after the termination of this Agreement. The Expense Reimbursement Amount shall, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, be treated as administrative expenses in the Chapter 11 Case under Section 503(b)(1)(A) and Section 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors acknowledge and agree that: (i) the approval and payment of the Expense Reimbursement Amount are integral parts of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in the absence of the Debtors’ obligation to pay the Expense Reimbursement Amount, the Supporting Lenders would not have entered into this Agreement; (iii) the entry of the Supporting Lenders into this Agreement is necessary for preservation of the Estates and is beneficial to the Debtors because, in the Debtors’ business judgment, it will enhance the Debtors’ ability to maximize the value of their assets for the benefit of their creditors and other stakeholders; and (iv) the Expense Reimbursement Amount is reasonable in relation to the Supporting Lenders’ costs and efforts and to the magnitude of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Supporting Lenders’ lost opportunities resulting from the time spent pursuing the transactions contemplated hereby.
59
(c) Notwithstanding Section 9.3(a), the Supporting Lenders’ right to receive the one-time payment of the Expense Reimbursement Amount from the Debtors as provided in Section 9.3(b) shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy available to the Supporting Lenders against the Debtors with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the event that this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1 (other than pursuant to Section 9.1(d)(i), Section 9.1(d)(iii), Section 9.1(d)(iv) or Section 9.1(d)(v)) (including if terminated or terminable pursuant to one or more of such provisions), and upon such payment of the Expense Reimbursement Amount, the Debtors shall have no further liability or obligation arising out of any such breach of this Agreement or failure to consummate the Transactions in connection with such termination event. The Parties acknowledge and agree that in no event shall the Debtors be required to pay the Expense Reimbursement Amount on more than one occasion. The Debtors’ obligations to pay the Supporting Lenders the Expense Reimbursement Amount in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.3(b) will (i) be binding upon and enforceable against each Debtor immediately upon the Bankruptcy Court’s entering the Disclosure Statement Order, (ii) not be terminable or dischargeable thereafter for any reason, (iii) survive any subsequent conversion, dismissal or consolidation of the Chapter 11 Case, any plan of reorganization or liquidation in the Chapter 11 Case and (iv) survive the subsequent termination of this Agreement by any means. The Debtors’ obligations to pay the Supporting Lenders the Expense Reimbursement Amount, as and when required under this Agreement, are intended to be, and upon entry of the Disclosure Statement Order are, binding upon (A) each Debtor, (B) any successors or assigns of any Debtor, (C) any trustee, examiner or other representative of an Estate, (D) the reorganized Debtors and (E) any other entity vested or revested with any right, title or interest in or to a Debtor, or any other Person claiming any rights in or control (direct or indirect) over any Debtor (each of (A) through (E), a “Successor”) as if such Successor were a Debtor hereunder. The Debtors’ obligations to pay the Supporting Lenders the Expense Reimbursement Amount, as and when required under this Agreement, may not be discharged under Sections 1141 or 727 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise and may not be abandoned under Section 554 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

Section 10.9 Descriptive Headings; Interpretative Provisions. The headings of the sections, paragraphs and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only, and shall not affect the Agreement’s interpretation. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules are to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. All Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Exhibit, Annex or Schedule but not otherwise defined therein, shall have the meaning as defined in this Agreement. Any singular term in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the plural, and any plural term the singular. Where a word or phrase is defined herein,
62
each of its other grammatical forms shall have a corresponding meaning. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” whether or not they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import. Whenever the last day for the exercise of any right or the discharge of any duty under this Agreement falls on other than a Business Day, the party hereto having such right or duty shall have until the next Business Day to exercise such right or discharge such duty. Unless otherwise indicated, the word “day” shall be interpreted as a calendar day. References to “dollars” or “$” mean United States dollars, unless otherwise clearly indicated to the contrary. No summary of this Agreement prepared by or on behalf of any party hereto shall affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 10.10 Representation by Counsel; No Strict Construction. Each Party acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel (or had the opportunity to be so represented and waived its right to do so) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived. This Agreement is the product of arm’s-length negotiations among the Parties and its provisions shall be interpreted in a neutral manner and one intended to effect the intent of the Parties. This Agreement shall be deemed to have been negotiated and prepared at the joint request, direction and construction of the Parties, at arm’s length and be interpreted without favor to any Party.
Section 10.11 Entire Agreement. Subject to the Restructuring Term Sheet and the Definitive Documents, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties related to the Restructuring, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof; provided that the Parties acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements (if any) heretofore executed between the Company and any Supporting Lender (and such Supporting Lender’s advisors) shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with and only to the extent of their respective terms.
Section 10.12 Governing Law and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) This Agreement, and all Causes of Action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to any borrowing statute or applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws (including statutes of limitation) of another jurisdiction (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) would be required thereby.
(b) By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, subject to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for the purpose of any
63
Cause of Action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. At any time prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located within in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York in the State of New York for purposes of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto hereby consents to service of process in the manner and at the address set forth in Section 10.8.
(c) EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND CERTIFIES (I) THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RESTRUCTURING TERM SHEET AND THE DEFINITIVE DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.12(c).
Section 10.13 Transaction Expenses. The Debtors shall pay (a) one (1) Business Day prior to the Petition Date, (b) subject to the DIP Orders, including the payment procedures set forth therein, on the Effective Date and (c) otherwise in accordance with the terms of any applicable fee letters and court orders during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, all accrued and unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Supporting Lenders in connection with the Restructuring (provided that the amount paid pursuant to (a) above shall be agreed by the Debtors and the Supporting Lenders and shall be less than the total amount of accrued and unpaid expenses owing to the Supporting Lenders as of such date) without the need to file any application with, or obtain any order from, the Bankruptcy Court, including, without limitation, the fees, costs and expenses of (i) Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, (ii) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Capital, Inc., (iii) local Texas counsel, (iv) any other professionals that may be retained by the Supporting Lenders in connection with the Restructuring and (v) counsel for the Prepetition Agents. The Debtors shall also enter into ordinary and customary fee letters with the foregoing professionals and fund the retainers and other amounts required thereunder as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement.
Section 10.14 Amendments and Waivers.
(a) Any amendment or modification of any term or provision of this Agreement or the Restructuring and any waiver of any term or provision of this Agreement or of the Restructuring or of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder shall not be valid unless the same shall be in writing and (i) signed by the Company and the DIP Agent or (ii) confirmed by email by both counsel to the Company and counsel to the
64
DIP Agent representing that it is acting with the authority of the Company and the DIP Agent, respectively.
(b) Any waiver shall not be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant.
(c) The failure of any Party to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other Party with its obligations hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.14, no amendment, modification or waiver of any term or provision of this Agreement or the Restructuring shall be effective with respect to any Supporting Lender without such Supporting Lender’s prior written consent to the extent such amendment, modification or waiver materially affects such Supporting Lender in a manner that is disproportionately adverse to such Supporting Lender in relation to the other Supporting Lenders.
(e) All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party.
Section 10.15 Parties, Succession and Assignment. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, estates (including the Estates), administrators and representatives. No rights or obligations of any Party under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any person or entity, other than the Parties (and those permitted assigns under Section 3.3), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; provided, however, that a Supporting Lender may assign some or all of its rights or delegate some or all of its obligations hereunder to one or more Affiliates without any other Party’s consent. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to the applicable Party will also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.
Section 10.16 No Waiver of Participation and Reservation of Right. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Plan, nothing herein is intended to, nor does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict any right of any Party or the ability of each of the Parties to protect and preserve its rights, remedies and interests, including Claims against and interests in the Company. If the Restructuring is not consummated, or following the occurrence of a Supporting Lender Termination Event, a Company Termination Event, an event triggering automatic termination pursuant to Section 9.1(c), or the termination of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights, and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights. This Agreement, the Plan, and any
65
related document shall in no event be construed as or be deemed to be evidence of an admission or concession on the part of any Party of any claim or fault or liability or damages whatsoever. The Parties acknowledge that this Agreement, the Plan, and all negotiations related hereto are part of a proposed settlement of matters that may otherwise be the subject of litigation.
Section 10.17 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Unless expressly stated herein, this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties and no other person or entity shall be a third-party beneficiary.
Section 10.18 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any amendments, joinders, consents or supplements, may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement. Scanned signatures on this Agreement shall be treated as originals for all purposes. Executed copies of this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf), which shall be deemed to be an original for the purposes of this Section 10.18.
Section 10.19 Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability at any time of any provision hereof shall not affect or diminish in any way the continuing validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof. If any provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, or the application of such provision, covenant or restriction to any Person or any circumstance, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision, covenant or restriction to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction and the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.
Section 10.20 Specific Performance. Each Party hereto recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by it of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement would cause the other Parties to sustain damages for which such Parties would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages, and therefore each Party hereto agrees that in the sole event of any breach, the other Parties shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (including attorney’s fees and costs) to enforce such covenants and agreements, in addition to any other remedy to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled, at law or in equity, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 10.21 Conflicts. In the event the terms and conditions set forth in the Restructuring Term Sheet and in this Agreement are inconsistent, the Restructuring Term Sheet shall control. In the event of any conflict among the terms and provisions of the Plan, this
66
Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet, the terms and provisions of the Plan shall control. In the event of any conflict among the terms and provisions of the Confirmation Order, the Plan, this Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet, the terms of the Confirmation Order shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 10.21 shall affect, in any way, the requirements that the Plan and the Confirmation Order be in all material respects materially consistent with this Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet and the requirements set forth herein for the amendment of this Agreement.

At the Second Amendment Effective Date (as defined in the Prepetition Facility Agreement), approximately $73.4 million of the remaining $84.5 million of 3.25% Convertible Notes was exchanged for (i) approximately $42 million of new 5.0% Voluntary Convertible Senior Notes due 2024; and $25 million of new 5.0% Mandatory Convertible Senior Notes due 2024.

Section 5.10
Litigation
(a)
Active Matters: Set forth below are certain legal matters that are either in active litigation or could proceed to active litigation. It is possible that the Company’s aggregate liability arising for monetary judgements or relief arising out of these matters, and other litigation involving the Company, could be material to the Company or its Subsidiaries, however the Company does not believe that any one of the matters discussed below (including the AFX product liability suits considered as a consolidated group) would individually result in monetary judgements or relief which would be material to the Company or its Subsidiaries.
• | Derivative Lawsuits: As of June 11, 2017, four shareholders have filed derivative lawsuits on behalf of the Company, the nominal plaintiff, based on allegations substantially similar to those alleged by lead plaintiff in Xxxxx Xxxxxx v. Endologix, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:17-cv-00017 (United States District Court, Central District of California). Those actions consist of: Xxxxxxxxxx x. XxXxxxxxx et al., Case No. BC662280 (Los Angeles Superior Court); Xxxxxxx x. XxXxxxxxx et al., Case No. 30-2018-00968971-CU-BT-CSC (Orange County Superior Court); and Green x. XxXxxxxxx et al., Case No. 8:17-cv-01155-AB (PLAx), consolidated with Xxxxx x. XxXxxxxxx et al., Case No. 8:17-cv-01183-AB (PLAx) (U.S. District Court for the Central District of California). Plaintiffs in the Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx and Green derivative actions have agreed to stay litigation pending resolution of the Xxxxxx action by the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. A related case, Xxxxx x. Endologix, Inc., et al. (Filed January 11, 2017 in the United Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx xx Xxxxxxxxxx; Case No. 8:17-cv-00061) was consolidated into Nguyen v. Endologix, Inc. |
• | Xxxx: On July 30, 2019, an action was brought in United States District Court for the Central District of California (Case No. 8:19-cv-01457) against the Company and certain other Loan Parties by Xxxxxx Xxxx, M.D., alleging infringement of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,257,423, 9,050,182 and 10,105,209, which allegedly were issued to and are owned by Xx. Xxxx. As alleged in the complaint, the accused infringing devices include the Ovation Abdominal Stent Graft System, the Ovation Prime Abdominal Stent Graft System, the Ovation Prime, the Ovation IX Abdominal Stent Graft System, and the Ovation iX (collectively, the “Ovation Devices”). The Company believes plaintiff’s claims are without merit and is vigorously defending the action. |
• | AFX: The Company has been named as a defendant in a number of complaints, in each case alleging a variety of product liability-based claims pertaining to the Company’s AFX with Strata product. The Company believes it has insurance responsive to these claims, which insurance provides for a $150,000 per claim deductible and an aggregate one million dollar aggregate deductible (for the policy year applicable to these claims). The Company believes plaintiffs’ claims are without merit and is vigorously defending the action. |
• | Kaiser: The Company has received a letter, dated January 10, 2020, from outside counsel to KP Select, LLC, one of the Kaiser Permanent family of companies (“Kaiser”), demanding that the Company provide reimbursement to Kaiser in the amount of $4.1 million dollars for costs allegedly incurred by Kaiser for treating patients whose AFX Endovascular AAA Systems were subject to the July 2018 recall notice. This demand was subsequently lowered to $2.8 million dollars in March 2020 The Company vigorously disputes this payment demand. Since it is presently not possible to determine the outcome of any future discussions with Kaiser regarding this matter, and |
whether litigation will ensue, or the outcomes associated with potential litigation, no provision has been made in the Company’s financial statements for the ultimate resolution. |
• | Royalty Demand: The Company has received a letter, dated February 13, 2020, from a licensor under one of the Company’s inbound patent license agreements alleging that the Company is in breach of certain royalty payment obligations under such agreement. In this letter, licensor has expressed a desire to reach a reasonable and amicable resolution of this matter. The Company vigorously disagrees with this payment demand. Since it is presently not possible to determine the outcome of any future discussions with the licensor regarding this matter, and whether litigation will ensue, or the outcomes associated with potential litigation, no provision has been made in the Company’s financial statements at this time for the ultimate resolution. Should a bona fide dispute ensure, it is possible that the Company will be required to deposit the disputed amount into escrow pending resolution of the dispute. |
• | Other IP Infringement Notice: The Loan Parties have received notice from an individual claiming that certain of our products read on certain issued patents held by such individual. The Loan Parties, after consultation with independent patent counsel, strongly disagrees with these claims. Since it is presently not possible to determine the outcome of any future discussions with these individuals in regard to their patents, and whether litigation will ensue, or the outcomes associated with potential litigation, no provision has been made in the Company’s financial statements for the ultimate resolution. |
