THISSenior Secured Superpriority Debtor-In-Possession Credit Agreement (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of February 22, 2019, by and among the lenders identified on the signature pages hereof (each of such lenders, together with its successors and permitted assigns, is referred to hereinafter as a “Lender”, as that term is hereinafter further defined),Cantor Fitzgerald Securities, as administrative agent for each member of the Lender Group (in such capacity, together with its successors and assigns in such capacity, “Agent”) andPernix THERAPEUTICS HOLDINGS, INC.,a Maryland corporation and a Debtor and a Debtor-in-Possession (the “Borrower”).
WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in the preamble hereto and in these Recitals shall have the respective meanings set forth for such terms in Schedule 1.1;
WHEREAS, the Borrower intends to file a voluntary petition with the Bankruptcy Court initiating its case under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code on February 18, 2019 (the “Petition Date”) and continue in the possession of its assets and in the management of its businesses pursuant to Sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code;
WHEREAS, the Borrower has requested that the Lenders provide a senior secured, priming superpriority debtor-in-possession multi-draw term loan facility and the Lenders are willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. DEFINITIONS AND CONSTRUCTION.
1.1 Definitions. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings specified therefor onSchedule 1.1.
1.2 Accounting Terms. All accounting terms not specifically defined herein shall be construed in accordance with GAAP;provided, that (i) if Borrower notifies Agent that Borrower requests an amendment to any provision hereof to eliminate the effect of any Accounting Change occurring after the Closing Date or in the application thereof on the operation of such provision (or if Agent notifies Borrower that the Required Lenders request an amendment to any provision hereof for such purpose), regardless of whether any such notice is given before or after such Accounting Change or in the application thereof, then Agent and Borrower agree that they will negotiate in good faith amendments to the provisions of this Agreement that are directly affected by such Accounting Change with the intent of having the respective positions of the Lenders and Borrower after such Accounting Change conform as nearly as possible to their respective positions as of the date of this Agreement and, until any such amendments have been agreed upon and agreed to by the Required Lenders, the provisions in this Agreement shall be calculated as if no such Accounting Change had occurred. When used herein, the term “financial statements” shall include the notes and schedules thereto, and (ii) to the extent expressly required pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, certain calculations shall be made on a pro forma basis. Whenever the term “Borrower” is used in respect of a financial covenant or a related definition, it shall be understood to mean Borrower and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis, unless the context clearly requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) all financial statements delivered hereunder shall be prepared, and all financial covenants contained herein shall be calculated, without giving effect to any election under the Financial Accounting Codification Section 825-10 (or any similar accounting principle) permitting a Person to value its financial liabilities or
Indebtedness at the fair value thereof, and (b) the term “unqualified opinion” as used herein to refer to opinions or reports provided by accountants shall mean an opinion or report that is (i) unqualified, and (ii) does not include any explanation, supplemental comment, or other comment concerning the ability of the applicable Person to continue as a going concern or concerning the scope of the audit.
1.3 Code. Any terms used in this Agreement that are defined in the Code shall be construed and defined as set forth in the Code unless otherwise defined herein;provided, that to the extent that the Code is used to define any term herein and such term is defined differently in different Articles of the Code, the definition of such term contained in Article 9 of the Code shall govern.
1.4 Construction. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, references to the plural include the singular, references to the singular include the plural, the terms “includes” and “including” are not limiting, and the term “or” has, except where the context otherwise requires, the inclusive meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” and similar terms in this Agreement or any other Loan Document refer to this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be, as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as the case may be. Section, subsection, clause, schedule, and exhibit references herein are to this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Any reference in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document to any agreement, instrument, or document shall include all alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements, thereto and thereof, as applicable (subject to any restrictions on such alterations, amendments, changes, extensions, modifications, renewals, replacements, substitutions, joinders, and supplements set forth herein). The words “asset” and “property” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect and to refer to any and all tangible and intangible assets and properties. Any reference herein or in any other Loan Document to the satisfaction, repayment, or payment in full of the Obligations shall mean (a) the indefeasible payment or repayment in full in cash of (i) the principal amount of, and interest accrued and unpaid with respect to, all outstanding Loans, together with the payment of any premium applicable to the repayment of the Loans, (ii) all Lender Group Expenses that have accrued and are unpaid regardless of whether demand has been made therefor and (iii) all fees or charges that have accrued hereunder or under any other Loan Document and are unpaid, (b) the receipt by Agent of cash collateral in order to secure any other contingent Obligations for which a claim or demand for payment has been made on or prior to such time or in respect of matters or circumstances known to Agent or a Lender at such time that are reasonably expected to result in any loss, cost, damage, or expense (including attorneys’ fees and legal expenses), such cash collateral to be in such amount as Agent reasonably determines is appropriate to secure such contingent Obligations, (c) the payment or repayment in full in cash of all other outstanding Obligations other than unasserted contingent indemnification Obligations and (d) the termination of all of the Commitments of the Lenders. Any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and permitted assigns. Any requirement of a writing contained herein or in any other Loan Document shall be satisfied by the transmission of a Record. Any reference to any law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating, amending, replacing or interpreting such law and any reference to any law, rule or regulation shall, unless otherwise specified, refer to such law, rule or regulation as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time. Any references in this Agreement to “Articles” and/or “Sections” which make reference to any particular piece of legislation or statute, including without limitation, Bankruptcy Code, ERISA, IRC and/or the Code shall for greater certainty mean the equivalent section in the applicable piece of legislation to the extent that the context implies reference to such other similar or equivalent legislation as is in effect from time to time in any other applicable jurisdiction, as applicable. Furthermore, where any such reference is meant to apply to such other similar or equivalent legislation where such other similar or equivalent legislation has parallel or like concepts, then such references shall import such parallel or like concepts from such other similar or equivalent legislation, as applicable.
1.5 Time References. Unless the context of this Agreement or any other Loan Document clearly requires otherwise, all references to time of day refer to Eastern standard time or Eastern daylight saving time, as in effect in New York, New York on such day. For purposes of the computation of a period of time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including” and the words “to” and “until” each means “to and including”;provided that, with respect to a computation of fees or interest payable to Agent or any Lender, such period shall in any event consist of at least one full day.
1.6 Schedules and Exhibits. All of the schedules and exhibits attached to this Agreement shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference.
2. LOANS AND TERMS OF PAYMENT.
2.1 Loans.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make to the Borrower on the Closing Date (i) a loan in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Closing Date ABL Refinancing Commitment (the “Closing Date ABL Refinancing Loan”) and (ii) a loan in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Closing Date General Purpose Commitment (the “Closing Date General Purpose Loan” and together with the Closing Date ABL Refinancing Loan, the “Closing Date Loans”).
(b) Subject to the terms and conditions and relying upon the representations and warranties set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, each Lender agrees, severally and not jointly, to make loans to the Borrower from time to time after the Closing Date on any Business Day during the Availability Period (each such Loan, a “Delayed Draw Loan”), in each case, in an aggregate amount not to exceed such Lender’s Delayed Draw Commitment.
(c) Amounts repaid or repaid in respect of Loans may not be reborrowed. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their applicable Commitments;provided that the failure of any Lender to make any Loan shall not in itself relieve any other Lender of its obligation to lend hereunder (it being understood, however, that no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make any Loan required to be made by such other Lender).
(d) The outstanding principal amount of the Loans, together with interest accrued and unpaid thereon, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which they are declared due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
2.2 [Reserved].
2.3 Borrowing Procedures and Settlements.
(a) Procedure for Borrowings. Each Borrowing shall be made by a written request in the form attached hereto asExhibit B-1 (a “Notice of Borrowing”) by an Authorized Person delivered to Agent and received by Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day that is four (4) Business Days prior to the requested Funding Date with respect to any Loan, specifying, in each case, (A) the amount of such Borrowing, (B) the type of such Borrowing and (C) the requested Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day);provided, that (i) a Notice of Borrowing in respect of any Borrowing to be made on the Closing Date may be delivered no later than 6:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date (or such later time as may be reasonably agreed by the Required Lenders), (ii) Agent
may, at the direction of the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, elect to accept as timely requests that are received later than 11:00 a.m. on the applicable Business Day and (iii) no Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered to any Lender during the hours of 9:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day. At Agent’s election, in lieu of delivering the above-described written request, any Authorized Person may give Agent telephonic notice of such request by the required time. In such circumstances, Borrower agrees that any such telephonic notice will be confirmed in writing within one (1) Business Day of the giving of such telephonic notice, but the failure to provide such written confirmation shall not affect the validity of the request. The Borrowing of any LIBOR Rate Loan shall be subject to the provisions ofSection 2.12.
(b) Funding of Borrowings. After receipt of a request for a Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.3(a), Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders by telecopy, telephone, email, or other electronic form of transmission, of the requested Borrowing; provided that no Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered to any Lender during the hours of 9:00 a.m. through 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on any Business Day. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed Funding Date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day that is the requested Funding Date to the Designated Account or other applicable account in accordance with Section 3 or otherwise in accordance with such other funding arrangements as mutually agreed among the relevant parties;provided, that no Lender shall have an obligation to make any Loan if (i) one or more of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 3 has not been or will not be satisfied on the requested Funding Date for the applicable Borrowing unless such condition has been waived in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 3 or (ii) the requested Borrowing would exceed the undrawn amount of such Lender’s Commitments on such Funding Date or the amount authorized to be borrowed hereunder pursuant to the applicable DIP Order. The Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to the Designated Account or other applicable account in accordance with Section 3 or otherwise in accordance with such other funding arrangements as mutually agreed among the relevant parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for its Loan in any particular place or manner.
(c) [reserved].
(d) [reserved].
(e) [reserved].
(f) Notation. Agent, as a non-fiduciary agent for Borrower, shall maintain a register showing the principal amount of the Loans, owing to each Lender, and the interests therein of each Lender, from time to time and such register shall, absent manifest error, conclusively be presumed to be correct and accurate.
(g) Defaulting Lenders.
(i) Notwithstanding the provisions ofSection 2.4(b)(iii), Agent shall not be obligated to transfer to a Defaulting Lender any payments made by Borrower to Agent for the Defaulting Lender’s benefit or any proceeds of Collateral that would otherwise be remitted hereunder to the Defaulting Lender, and, in the absence of such transfer to the Defaulting Lender, Agent shall transfer any such payments (A) first, to each Non-Defaulting Lender ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Share (but, in each case, only to the extent that such Defaulting Lender’s portion of a Loan (or other funding obligation) was funded by such other Non-Defaulting Lender), (B) to a suspense account maintained by Agent, the proceeds of which shall be retained by Agent and may be made available to be advanced to or
for the benefit of Borrower as such Defaulting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of any Delayed Draw Loan required to be made pursuant to Section 2.1 from any remaining Commitments (upon the request of Borrower and subject to the conditions set forth inSections 3.2 and 3.3) as if such Defaulting Lender had made its portion of Loans (or other funding obligations) hereunder, and (C) from and after the date on which the Commitments are cancelled or terminated and all other Obligations have been paid in full, to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with tier (H) ofSection 2.4(b)(iii). Subject to the foregoing, Agent may hold and, in its permitted discretion, re-lend to Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender the amount of all such payments received and retained by Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender. Solely for the purposes of voting or consenting to matters with respect to the Loan Documents (including the calculation of Pro Rata Share in connection therewith), such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” and such Lender’s Commitment shall be deemed to be zero;provided, that the foregoing shall not apply to any of the matters governed bySection 14.1(a)(i) through (iii). The provisions of thisSection 2.3(g) shall remain effective with respect to such Defaulting Lender until the earlier of (x) the date on which all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders, Agent and Borrower shall have waived, in writing, the application of thisSection 2.3(g) to such Defaulting Lender, or (y) the date on which such Defaulting Lender makes payment of all amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, pays to Agent all amounts owing by Defaulting Lender in respect of the amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder, and, if requested by Agent, provides adequate assurance to Agent of its ability to perform its future obligations hereunder. The operation of thisSection 2.3(g) shall not be construed to increase or otherwise affect the Commitment of any Lender, to relieve or excuse the performance by such Defaulting Lender or any other Lender of its duties and obligations hereunder, or to relieve or excuse the performance by Borrower of its duties and obligations hereunder to Agent or to the Lenders other than such Defaulting Lender. Any failure by a Defaulting Lender to fund amounts that it was obligated to fund hereunder shall constitute a material breach by such Defaulting Lender of this Agreement and shall entitle Borrower, at its option, upon written notice to Agent, to arrange for a substitute Lender to assume the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, such substitute Lender to be reasonably acceptable to Agent. In connection with the arrangement of such a substitute Lender, the Defaulting Lender shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder, and agrees to execute and deliver a completed form of Assignment and Acceptance in favor of the substitute Lender (and agrees that it shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such document if it fails to do so) subject only to being paid its share of the outstanding Obligations, including all interest, fees, and other amounts that may be due and payable in respect thereof);provided, that any such assumption of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any of the Lender Groups’ or Borrower’s rights or remedies against any such Defaulting Lender arising out of or in relation to such failure to fund. In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of thisSection 2.3(g) and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, the terms and provisions of thisSection 2.3(g)shall control and govern.
(h) Independent Obligations. All Loans shall be made by the Lenders contemporaneously and in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares. It is understood that (i) no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make any Loan hereunder, nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligations hereunder, and (ii) no failure by any Lender to perform its obligations hereunder shall excuse any other Lender from its obligations hereunder.
2.4 Payments; Reductions of Commitments; Prepayments.
(a) Payments by Borrower.
(i) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments made or remitted by Borrower under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be made to Agent’s Account for the account of the Lender Group and shall be made in immediately available funds, no later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein. Any payment received by Agent later than 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed to have been received (unless Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received) on the following Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue until such following Business Day. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent may require that any payments due under this Agreement be made in the United States.
(ii) Unless Agent receives notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Lenders that Borrower will not make such payment in full as and when required, Agent may assume that Borrower has made (or will make) such payment in full to Agent on such date in immediately available funds and Agent may (but shall not be so required), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to each Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender. If and to the extent Borrower does not make such payment in full to Agent on the date when due, each Lender severally shall repay to Agent on demand such amount distributed to such Lender, together with interest thereon at the Defaulting Lender Rate for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date repaid; provided that such interest shall be an obligation of the Borrower and shall be payable by the Borrower upon demand.
(b) Apportionment and Application.
(i) So long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all principal and interest payments received by Agent shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders (according to the unpaid principal balance of the Obligations to which such payments relate held by each Lender) and all payments of fees and expenses received by Agent (other than fees or expenses that are for Agent’s separate account) shall be apportioned ratably among the Lenders having a Pro Rata Share of the type of Commitment or Obligation to which a particular fee or expense relates.
(ii) Subject toSection 2.4(b)(v) andSection 2.4(d), all payments to be made hereunder by Borrower shall be remitted to Agent and all such payments, and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent, shall be applied, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders, to reduce the balance of the Loans outstanding and, thereafter, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.
(iii) At any time that an Application Event has occurred and is continuing and except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Defaulting Lenders, all payments remitted to Agent and all proceeds of Collateral received by Agent shall be applied as follows:
A. first, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to Agent from the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,
B. second, to pay any fees or premiums then due to Agent from the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents until paid in full,
C. third, ratably, to pay any Lender Group Expenses (including cost or expense reimbursements) or indemnities then due to any of the Lenders from the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, until paid in full,
D. fourth, ratably, to pay any fees or premiums then due to any of the Lenders under the Loan Documents until paid in full,
E. fifth, ratably, to pay interest accrued in respect of the Loans until paid in full,
F. sixth, ratably, to pay the principal of all Loans until paid in full,
G. seventh, to pay any other Obligations other than Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders,
H. eighth, ratably to pay any Obligations owed to Defaulting Lenders; and
I. ninth, to Borrower (to be wired to the Designated Account) or such other Person entitled thereto under applicable law.
(iv) Agent promptly shall distribute to each Lender, pursuant to the applicable wire instructions received from each Lender in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive.
(v) In each instance, so long as no Application Event has occurred and is continuing,Section 2.4(b)(ii) shall not apply to any payment made by Borrower to Agent and specified by Borrower to be for the payment of specific Obligations then due and payable (or prepayable) under any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(vi) For purposes ofSection 2.4(b), “paid in full” of a type of Obligation means payment in cash or immediately available funds of all amounts owing on account of such type of Obligation, including interest accrued after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding, default interest, interest on interest, and expense reimbursements, irrespective of whether any of the foregoing would be or is allowed or disallowed in whole or in part in any Insolvency Proceeding.
(vii) In the event of a direct conflict between the priority provisions of thisSection 2.4 and any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such provisions be read together and construed, to the fullest extent possible, to be in concert with each other. In the event of any actual, irreconcilable conflict that cannot be resolved as aforesaid, if the conflict relates to the provisions ofSection 2.3(g) and thisSection 2.4, then the provisions ofSection 2.3(g) shall control and govern, and if otherwise, then the terms and provisions of thisSection 2.4 shall control and govern.
(c) Termination of Commitments.
(i) Scheduled Termination of Commitments. Upon the making of the Closing Date Loans on the Closing Date, the Closing Date Commitments shall terminate in full and be reduced to $0 on the Closing Date. Upon the making of each Delayed Draw Loan, Delayed Draw Commitments in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Delayed Draw Loans shall terminate on the date of such Borrowing. Unless previously terminated in full, all unused Commitments shall terminate on the last Business Day of the Availability Period. Any Incremental Commitment shall terminate as set forth in the applicable Incremental Agreement.
(ii) Optional Termination and Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower
may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Commitments;provided that each reduction of the Commitments shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000.
The Borrower shall notify the Agent in writing of any election to terminate or reduce the Commitments underSection 2.4(c)(ii)at least three (3) Business Day prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to thisSection 2.4(c)(ii) shall be irrevocable;provided that a notice of termination of the Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon other transactions, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by written notice to the Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Any termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be permanent and may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Commitments shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Pro Rata Share;provided that if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender at such time as the Borrower elects to terminate or reduce the Commitments hereunder, the Borrower may (in its discretion) apply all or any portion of the Commitments to be reduced, to the Commitment of any one or more Defaulting Lenders specified by the Borrower before applying any remaining reduction ratably to all other Lenders.
(d) Prepayments.
(i) Optional Prepayments. Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, subject to prior notice in accordance withSection 2.4(d)(i)(A).

Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Agent shall advise the applicable Lenders of the contents thereof. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required bySection 2.6(d). Each prepayment hereunder shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 (or such lesser amount or integral to repay all outstanding Loans).
(ii) Mandatory Prepayments.
(A) In the event (x) Borrower and its Subsidiaries receive any Net Cash Proceeds in any fiscal year from Non-Exclusive Licenses made pursuant to clause (d) of the definition of “Permitted Dispositions” under this Agreement and (y) if, at any time, the accumulated Excess Proceeds equal or exceed $50,000, then a prepayment of 100% of the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds (to the extent constituting Excess Proceeds) shall be required to be applied in accordance with clause (D) below.
(B) In the event that Borrower and its Subsidiaries receive any Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $25,000 (including all or a portion of any cash deposits or proceeds from any escrow agreement or other security of credit enhancements provided by or on behalf of a purchaser or the purchasers under any Sale Agreement that the Borrower and its Subsidiaries receive (and have the right to retain pursuant to the terms of any Sale Agreement, as applicable)

(C) If the aggregate amount required to be paid on any date pursuant to clause (A) or (B) above is less than $50,000, the Borrower may defer any payments required pursuant to such clause until the first date on which the aggregate Net Cash Proceeds required to be applied pursuant to such clause equals or exceeds $50,000 (at which time all theretofore unapplied amounts pursuant to such clause shall be required to be applied).
(D) Any prepayment required pursuant to clauses (A) through (B) above shall be applied to obligations under this Agreement in the following manner: all prepayment amounts shallfirst, be offered to prepay the accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the Loans hereunder,second, be offered to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loans hereunder (with the balance, if any, to reduce permanently any unused Commitments hereunder) in accordance with the provisions of this clause (D),third, be applied as required pursuant to the DIP Orders andfourth, be made available to the Borrower for general corporate purposes in accordance with the Approved Budget. The offer to prepay under clausesfirst andsecondshall be made as follows: within three (3) Business Days after the occurrence of any prepayment event described in clauses (A) and (B) above, the Borrower shall make an offer to apply all applicable prepayment amounts to prepay the accrued and unpaid interest and outstanding principal amount of the Loans hereunder (with the balance, if any, to reduce permanently any unused Commitments hereunder) on the date that is three (3) Business Days after the offer date (a “Prepayment Date”); provided that any prepayment as a result of the closing under any Sale Agreement shall be applied substantially concurrently with such closing. Any Lender may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any such prepayment amount pursuant to clausesecondabove (the “Declined Amount”) by delivering a written notice thereof to the Agent at least one Business Day prior to the applicable Prepayment Date, which Declined Amount shall then be applied in accordance with clausesthird andfourth above.
2.5 Promise to Pay; Promissory Notes.
(a) Borrower agrees to pay the Lender Group Expenses on the earlier of (i) the first day of the month following the date on which the applicable Lender Group Expenses were first incurred or (ii) the date on which demand therefor is made by Agent (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging of such costs, expenses or Lender Group Expenses to the Loan Account pursuant to the provisions ofSection 2.6(d) shall be deemed to constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this subclause (ii)). Borrower promises to pay all of the Obligations (including principal, interest, premiums, if any, fees, costs, and expenses (including Lender Group Expenses)) in full on the Maturity Date or, if earlier, on the date on which the Obligations become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Borrower agrees that its obligations contained in the first sentence of thisSection 2.5(a) shall survive payment or satisfaction in full of all other Obligations.
(b) Any Lender may request that any portion of its Commitments or the Loans made by it be evidenced by one or more promissory notes (each a “Note”), in substantially the form attached hereto asExhibit N-1. In such event, Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender the requested Note payable to the order of such Lender in a form furnished by Agent and reasonably satisfactory to Borrower. Thereafter, the portion of the Commitments and Loans evidenced by such Note and interest thereon shall at all times be represented by one or more Notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein.
2.6 Interest Rates and Fees: Rates, Payments, and Calculations.
(a) Interest Rates.Except as provided inSection 2.6(c), the Obligations shall bear interest (from the date of incurrence through but excluding the date of repayment or prepayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise)) as follows:
(i) if the relevant Obligation is a LIBOR Rate Loan, at aper annum rate equal to the LIBOR Rate plus 6.00%, and
(ii) otherwise, at aper annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus 5.00% per annum.
(b) Fees. With respect to each New Money General Purpose Loan, the Borrower shall pay to Agent, for the account of each Lender holding a New Money General Purpose Loan, a fee in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum on such Lender’s New Money General Purpose Loan, which fee with respect to any New Money General Purpose Loan shall be fully earned on the Funding Date of such New Money General Purpose Loan, and which shall be due and payable on the earlier of (i) the Maturity Date and (ii) the termination of the Commitments and payment or other discharge of the outstanding principal amount of all Loans.
(c) Default Rate.Automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default (unless waived by the Required Lenders), all Obligations that have been charged to the Loan Account pursuant to the terms hereof shall bear interest at aper annum rate equal to two (2) percentage points above the per annum rate otherwise applicable thereunder.
(d) [Reserved].
(e) Computation.All interest and fees chargeable under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 365/366 day year, for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which the interest or fees accrue.
(f) Intent to Limit Charges to Maximum Lawful Rate.In no event shall the interest rate or rates payable under this Agreement, plus any other amounts paid in connection herewith, exceed the highest rate permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination, deem applicable. Borrower and the Lender Group, in executing and delivering this Agreement, intend legally to agree upon the rate or rates of interest and manner of payment stated within it;provided, that, anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if such rate or rates of interest or manner of payment exceeds the maximum allowable under applicable law, then,ipso facto, as of the date of this Agreement, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the payment of such maximum amount as is allowed by law, and payment received from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be applied to reduce the principal balance of the Obligations to the extent of such excess.
(g) Payment. All interest and all other fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be due and payable in cash, in arrears, on the Interest Payment Date (or, if earlier, the Maturity Date) and, with respect to accrued and unpaid interest on any Loan being prepaid or repaid, the date of such prepayment or repayment, and (ii) all costs and expenses payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, and all Lender Group Expenses shall be due and payable on the earlier of (x) the first day of the month following the date on which the applicable costs, expenses, or Lender Group Expenses were first incurred or (y) the date on which demand therefor is made by Agent (it being acknowledged and agreed that any charging of such costs, expenses or Lender Group Expenses to the Loan Account pursuant to the provisions of the following sentence shall be deemed to
constitute a demand for payment thereof for the purposes of this subclause (y)). Borrower hereby authorize Agent, from time to time without prior notice to Borrower, to charge to the Loan Account (A) as and when due and payable, all fees payable hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, (B) as and when incurred or accrued, all Lender Group Expenses, and (C) as and when due and payable all other payment obligations payable under any Loan Document. All amounts (including interest, fees, costs, expenses, Lender Group Expenses, or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document) shall constitute Obligations hereunder, and shall initially accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Loans.
2.7 Crediting Payments.The receipt of any payment item by Agent shall not be required to be considered a payment on account unless such payment item is a wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made to Agent’s Account or unless and until such payment item is honored when presented for payment. Should any payment item not be honored when presented for payment, then Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment and interest shall be calculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, any payment item shall be deemed received by Agent only if it is received into Agent’s Account in Dollars on a Business Day on or before 2:00 p.m. If any payment item is received into Agent’s Account on a non-Business Day or after 2:00 p.m. on a Business Day (unless Agent, at the direction of the Required Lenders in their sole discretion, elects to credit it on the date received), it shall be deemed to have been received by Agent as of the opening of business on the immediately following Business Day.
2.8 Designated Account. Agent and any other member of the Lender Group is authorized to make the Loans under this Agreement based upon telephonic or other instructions received from anyone purporting to be an Authorized Person or, without instructions, if pursuant toSection 2.6(d). Borrower agrees to establish and maintain the Designated Account with the Designated Account Bank for the purpose of receiving the proceeds of the Loans requested by Borrower and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed by Agent and Borrower, any Loan requested by Borrower and made by Agent or the Lenders hereunder shall be made to the Designated Account.
2.9 Maintenance of Loan Account; Statements of Obligations.Agent shall maintain an account on its books in the name of Borrower (the “Loan Account”) on which Borrower will be charged with all Loans made by Agent or the Lenders to Borrower or for Borrower’s account and with all other payment Obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including, accrued interest, fees and expenses, and Lender Group Expenses. In accordance withSection 2.7, the Loan Account will be credited with all payments received by Agent from Borrower or for Borrower’s account. Agent shall make available to Borrower monthly statements regarding the Loan Account, including the principal amount of the Loans, interest accrued hereunder, fees accrued or charged hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and a summary itemization of all charges and expenses constituting Lender Group Expenses accrued hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and each such statement, absent manifest error, shall be conclusively presumed to be correct and accurate and constitute an account stated between Borrower and the Lender Group unless, within 30 days after Agent first makes such a statement available to Borrower, Borrower shall deliver to Agent written objection thereto describing the error or errors contained in such statement.
2.10 [Reserved].
2.11 [Reserved].
2.12 LIBOR Option.
(a) Interest.In lieu of having interest charged at the rate based upon the Base Rate, Borrower shall have the option, subject toSection 2.12(b) below (the “LIBOR Option”) to have
interest on all or a portion of the Loans be charged (whether at the time when made (unless otherwise provided herein), upon conversion from a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, or upon continuation of a LIBOR Rate Loan as a LIBOR Rate Loan) at a rate of interest based upon the LIBOR Rate. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto;provided, that, subject to the following clause (ii), in the case of any Interest Period greater than one month in duration, interest shall be payable at one-month intervals after the commencement of the applicable Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period, and (ii) the Maturity Date. On the last day of each applicable Interest Period, unless Borrower has properly exercised the LIBOR Option with respect thereto, the interest rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan automatically shall convert to the rate of interest then applicable to Base Rate Loans of the same type hereunder. At any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Borrower no longer shall have the option to request that Loans bear interest at a rate based upon the LIBOR Rate.
(b) LIBOR Election.
(i) Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, elect to exercise the LIBOR Option by notifying Agent prior to 11:00 a.m. at least three Business Days prior to the commencement of the proposed Interest Period (or, if the LIBOR Option is exercised in respect of the Closing Date Loans, prior to 6:00 p.m. on the Business Day prior to the Closing Date (or such later time as may be reasonably agreed by the Required Lenders)) (the “LIBOR Deadline”). Notice of Borrower’s election of the LIBOR Option for a permitted portion of the Loans and an Interest Period pursuant to this Section shall be made by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice (or, if the LIBOR Option is exercised in respect of the Closing Date Loans, a Notice of Borrowing) received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline, or by telephonic notice received by Agent before the LIBOR Deadline (to be confirmed by delivery to Agent of a LIBOR Notice received by Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. on the same day). Promptly upon its receipt of each such LIBOR Notice, Agent shall provide a copy thereof to each of the affected Lenders.
(ii) Each LIBOR Notice shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower. In connection with each LIBOR Rate Loan, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders harmless against any loss, cost, or expense actually incurred by Agent or any Lender as a result of (A) the payment of any principal of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (B) the conversion of any LIBOR Rate Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or (C) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any LIBOR Rate Loan on the date specified in any LIBOR Notice delivered pursuant hereto (such losses, costs, or expenses, “Funding Losses”). A certificate of Agent or a Lender delivered to Borrower setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that Agent or such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to thisSection 2.12 shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay such amount to Agent or the Lender, as applicable, within 30 days of the date of its receipt of such certificate. If a payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the applicable Interest Period would result in a Funding Loss, Agent may, in its sole discretion at the request of Borrower, hold the amount of such payment as cash collateral in support of the Obligations until the last day of such Interest Period and apply such amounts to the payment of the applicable LIBOR Rate Loan on such last day, it being agreed that Agent has no obligation to so defer the application of payments to any LIBOR Rate Loan and that, in the event that Agent does not defer such application, Borrower shall be obligated to pay any resulting Funding Losses.
(iii) Borrower may only exercise the LIBOR Option for proposed LIBOR Rate Loans of at least $1,000,000.
(c) Conversion.Borrower may convert LIBOR Rate Loans to Base Rate Loans at
any time;provided, that in the event that LIBOR Rate Loans are converted or prepaid on any date that is not the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, including as a result of any prepayment through the required application by Agent of any payments or proceeds of Collateral in accordance withSection 2.4(b) or for any other reason, including early termination of the term of this Agreement or acceleration of all or any portion of the Obligations pursuant to the terms hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend, and hold Agent and the Lenders and their Participants harmless against any and all Funding Losses in accordance withSection 2.12 (b)(ii).
(d) Special Provisions Applicable to LIBOR Rate.
(i) The LIBOR Rate may be adjusted by Agent with respect to any Lender on a prospective basis to take into account any additional or increased costs to such Lender of maintaining or obtaining any eurodollar deposits or increased costs, in each case, due to changes in applicable law occurring subsequent to the commencement of the then applicable Interest Period, including any Changes in Law (including any changes in tax laws (except changes (a) with respect to any Taxes governed by Section 16 of this Agreement and (b) with respect to any Excluded Taxes) and changes in the reserve requirements imposed by the Board of Governors, which additional or increased costs would increase the cost of funding or maintaining loans bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate;provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any additional or increased costs arising more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such additional or increased costs and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor;provided further that if such claim arises by reason of circumstances that is retroactive or if the effects of such circumstances were not reasonably known to such Lender during such 180-day period referred to above, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof or the date such effects of such circumstances became known or would have reasonably been known to such Lender, as applicable. In any such event, the affected Lender shall give Borrower and Agent notice of such a determination and adjustment and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender and, upon its receipt of the notice from the affected Lender, Borrower may, by notice to such affected Lender (A) require such Lender to furnish to Borrower a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for adjusting such LIBOR Rate and the method for determining the amount of such adjustment, or (B) repay the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender with respect to which such adjustment is made (together with any amounts due underSection 2.12(b)(ii)).
(ii) In the event that any change in market conditions or any Change in Law shall at any time after the date hereof, in the reasonable opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans or to continue such funding or maintaining, or to determine or charge interest rates at the LIBOR Rate, (x) such Lender shall give notice of such changed circumstances to Agent and Borrower and Agent promptly shall transmit the notice to each other Lender, (y) in the case of any LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender that are outstanding, the date specified in such Lender’s notice shall be deemed to be the last day of the Interest Period of such LIBOR Rate Loans, and interest upon the LIBOR Rate Loans of such Lender thereafter shall accrue interest at the rate then applicable to Base Rate Loans, and (z) Borrower shall not be entitled to elect the LIBOR Option until such Lender determines that it would no longer be unlawful or impractical to do so.
(e) No Requirement of Matched Funding.Anything to the contrary contained herein notwithstanding, neither Agent, nor any Lender, nor any of their Participants, is required actually to acquire eurodollar deposits to fund or otherwise match fund any Obligation as to which interest accrues at the LIBOR Rate.
2.13 Capital Requirements.
(a) If, after the date hereof, any Lender determines that (i) any Change in Law regarding capital or reserve requirements for banks or bank holding companies, or (ii) compliance by such Lender, or its parent bank holding companies, with any guideline, request or directive of any Governmental Authority regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s, or such holding companies’ capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitments hereunder to a level below that which such Lender, or such holding companies could have achieved but for such Change in Law or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s, or such holding companies’ then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Borrower and Agent thereof. Following receipt of such notice, Borrower agrees to pay such Lender on demand the amount of such reduction of return of capital as and when such reduction is determined, payable within 30 days after presentation by such Lender of a statement in the amount and setting forth in reasonable detail such Lender’s calculation thereof and the assumptions upon which such calculation was based (which statement shall be deemed true and correct absent manifest error). In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation;provided that Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any reductions in return incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrower of such Change in Law giving rise to such reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor;provided further that if such claim arises by reason of the Change in Law that is retroactive or if the effects of such Change in Law were not reasonably known to such Lender during such 180-day period referred to above, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof or the date such effects of such Change in Law became known or would have reasonably been known to such Lender, as applicable. Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount to any Person under thisSection 2.13(a) in respect of any Taxes governed bySection 16 of this Agreement or any Excluded Taxes.
(b) If any Lender requests additional or increased costs referred to inSection 2.12(d)(i) or amounts underSection 2.13(a) or sends a notice underSection 2.12(a)(ii) (such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then such Affected Lender shall use reasonable efforts to promptly designate a different one of its lending offices or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices or branches, if (i) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant toSection 2.12(d)(i) orSection 2.13(a), as applicable, or would eliminate the illegality or impracticability of funding or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans and (ii) in the reasonable judgment of such Affected Lender, such designation or assignment would not subject it to any material unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to it. Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Affected Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. If, after such reasonable efforts, such Affected Lender does not so designate a different one of its lending offices or assign its rights to another of its offices or branches so as to eliminate Borrower’s obligation to pay any future amounts to such Affected Lender pursuant toSection 2.12(d)(i) orSection 2.13(a), as applicable, or to enable Borrower to obtain LIBOR Rate Loans, then Borrower (without prejudice to any amounts then due to such Affected Lender underSection 2.12(d)(i) orSection 2.13(a), as applicable) may, unless prior to the effective date of any such assignment the Affected Lender withdraws its request for such additional amounts underSection 2.12(d)(i) orSection 2.13(a), as applicable, or indicates that it is no longer unlawful or impractical to fund or maintain LIBOR Rate Loans, substitute a Lender reasonably acceptable to Agent to purchase the Obligations owed to such Affected Lender and such Affected Lender’s Commitments hereunder (a “Replacement Lender”), and if such Replacement Lender agrees to such purchase, such Affected Lender shall assign to the Replacement Lender its Obligations and Commitments, and upon such purchase by the Replacement
Lender, which such Replacement Lender shall be deemed to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement and such Affected Lender shall cease to be a “Lender” for purposes of this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the protection ofSections 2.12(d)and 2.13 shall be available to each Lender (as applicable) regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, judicial ruling, judgment, guideline, treaty or other change or condition which shall have occurred or been imposed, so long as it shall be customary for lenders affected thereby to comply therewith. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, no Lender shall demand compensation pursuant to thisSection 2.13 if it shall not at the time be the general policy or practice of such Lender (as the case may be) to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements, if any.
2.14 Priority and Liens Applicable to the Company.The Borrower hereby covenants, represents and warrants that, upon the execution of this Agreement and upon the entry of the Interim DIP Order (and when applicable, the Final DIP Order), subject in each case, to the Carve Out:
(a) the Obligations of the Loan Parties, pursuant to Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be entitled to Superpriority Claim status in the Cases, subject only to the Carve Out to the extent provided in the applicable DIP Order, and any payments or proceeds on account of such Superpriority Claim shall be distributed in accordance withSection 2.4(b)(iii);
(b) the Obligations of the Loan Parties, pursuant to Section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be secured by a perfected first priority Lien on all Collateral that is not subject to valid, perfected, enforceable and non-avoidable liens as of the Petition Date;

hearing with the Bankruptcy Court to determine whether an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing):
(a) declare the principal of, and any and all accrued and unpaid interest and fees in respect of, the Loans and all other Obligations, whether evidenced by this Agreement or by any of the other Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become and be immediately due and payable and Borrower shall be obligated to repay all of such Obligations in full, without presentment, demand, protest, or further notice or other requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower;

10.3 Indemnification.Borrower shall pay, indemnify, defend, and hold the Agent-Related
Persons, the Lender-Related Persons, and each Participant (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands, suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, liabilities, fines, costs, penalties, and damages, and all reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, experts, or consultants and all other costs and expenses actually incurred in connection therewith or in connection with the enforcement of this indemnification (as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or incurred by any of them (a) in connection with or as a result of or related to the execution and delivery (provided that Borrower shall not be liable for costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of any Lender (other than Agent in its capacity as such) incurred in advising, structuring, drafting, reviewing or administering the Loan Documents), enforcement, performance, or administration (including any restructuring or workout with respect hereto) of this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the monitoring of Borrower’s and its Subsidiaries’ compliance with the terms of the Loan Documents (provided, that the indemnification in this clause (a) shall not extend to (i) disputes solely between or among the Lenders that do not involve any acts or omissions of any Loan Party, or (ii) disputes solely between or among the Lenders and their respective Affiliates that do not involve any acts or omissions of any Loan Party; it being understood and agreed that the indemnification in this clause (a) shall extend to Agent (but not the Lenders) relative to disputes between or among Agent on the one hand, and one or more Lenders, or one or more of their Affiliates, on the other hand, or (iii) any Taxes or any costs attributable to Taxes, which shall be governed bySection 16), (b) with respect to any actual or prospective investigation, litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement, any other Loan Document or the making of any Loans hereunder, or the use of the proceeds of the Loans provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or circumstance in any manner related thereto, and (c) in connection with or arising out of any presence or release of Hazardous Materials at, on, under, to or from any assets or properties owned, leased or operated by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Actions, Environmental Liabilities or Remedial Actions related in any way to any such assets or properties of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries (each and all of the foregoing, the “Indemnified Liabilities”).

Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent (in its capacity as administrative agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(f) In connection with any such assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation or any grant of a security interest in, or pledge of, its rights under and interest in this Agreement, a Lender may, subject to the provisions ofSection 17.9, disclose all documents and information which it now or hereafter may have relating to Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their respective businesses.
(g) Any other provision in this Agreement notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in, or pledge, all or any portion of its rights under and interest in this Agreement in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Bank or U.S. Treasury Regulation 31 CFR §203.24, and such Federal Reserve Bank may enforce such pledge or security interest in any manner permitted under applicable law.
13.2 Successors.This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each of the parties;provided, that Borrower may not assign this Agreement or any rights or duties hereunder without the Lenders’ prior written consent and any prohibited assignment shall be absolutely voidab initio. No consent to assignment by the Lenders shall release Borrower from its Obligations. A Lender may assign this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and its rights and duties hereunder and thereunder pursuant toSection 13.1 and, except as expressly required pursuant toSection 13.1, no consent or approval by Borrower is required in connection with any such assignment.

14.2 Replacement of Certain Lenders.
(a) If (i) any action to be taken by the Lender Group or Agent hereunder requires the consent, authorization, or agreement of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby and if such action has received the consent, authorization, or agreement of the Required Lenders but not of all Lenders or all Lenders affected thereby, or (ii) any Lender makes a claim for compensation underSection 16, then Borrower or Agent, upon at least five (5) Business Days prior irrevocable notice, may permanently replace any Lender that failed to give its consent, authorization,or agreement (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) or any Lender that made a claim for compensation (a “Tax Lender”) with one or more Replacement Lenders, and the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall have no right to refuse to be replaced hereunder. Such notice to replace the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall specify an effective date for such replacement, which date shall not be later than fifteen (15) Business Days after the date such notice is given.

applicable, shall be deemed to have executed and delivered such Assignment and Acceptance. The replacement of any Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall be made in accordance with the terms ofSection 13.1. Until such time as one or more Replacement Lenders shall have acquired all of the Obligations, the Commitments, and the other rights and obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the Non-Consenting Lender or Tax Lender, as applicable, shall remain obligated to make the Non-Consenting Lender’s or Tax Lender’s, as applicable, Pro Rata Share of Loans.
14.3 No Waivers; Cumulative Remedies.No failure by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, remedy, or option under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or delay by Agent or any Lender in exercising the same, will operate as a waiver thereof. No waiver by Agent or any Lender will be effective unless it is in writing, and then only to the extent specifically stated. No waiver by Agent or any Lender on any occasion shall affect or diminish Agent’s and each Lender’s rights thereafter to require strict performance by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, as applicable, of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Agent’s and each Lender’s rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy that Agent or any Lender may have.
15. AGENT; THE LENDER GROUP.
15.1 Appointment and Authorization of Agent.Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Cantor Fitzgerald Securities as its agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent to execute and deliver each of the other Loan Documents on its behalf and to take such other action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Agent agrees to act as agent for and on behalf of the Lenders on the conditions contained in thisSection 15. Any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document notwithstanding, Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents which shall be ministerial and administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default or an Event of 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 Loan Documents that the Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents);provided that, the Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Agent to liability with respect to which it is not indemnified or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any debtor relief law applicable to any Defaulting Lender; and (c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Loan Parties or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents with reference to 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 merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only a representative relationship between independent contracting parties. Each Lender hereby further authorizes Agent to act as the secured party under each of the Loan Documents that create a Lien on any item of Collateral. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have and may use its sole discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from
taking any actions that Agent expressly is entitled to take or assert under or pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, or of any other provision of the Loan Documents that provides rights or powers to Agent, Lenders agree that Agent shall have the right, but not the duty (to the extent exercise of the following would constitute the taking of a discretionary action or the exercise any discretionary powers), to exercise the following powers as long as this Agreement remains in effect: (a) maintain, in accordance with its customary business practices, ledgers and records reflecting the status of the Obligations, the Collateral, payments and proceeds of Collateral, and related matters, (b) execute or file any and all financing or similar statements or notices, amendments, renewals, supplements, documents, instruments, proofs of claim, notices and other written agreements with respect to the Loan Documents, (c) make Loans, for itself or on behalf of Lenders, as provided in the Loan Documents, (d) exclusively receive, apply, and distribute payments and proceeds of the Collateral as provided in the Loan Documents, (e) open and maintain such bank accounts and cash management arrangements as Agent deems necessary and appropriate in accordance with the Loan Documents for the foregoing purposes, (f) perform, exercise, and enforce any and all other rights and remedies of the Lender Group with respect to Borrower or its Subsidiaries, the Obligations, the Collateral, or otherwise related to any of same as provided in the Loan Documents, and (g) incur and pay such Lender Group Expenses as Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions and powers pursuant to the Loan Documents.
15.2 Delegation of Duties.Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or attorneys in fact (each, a “Sub-Agent”) and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. 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 15 shall apply to any such Sub-Agent and to the Related Parties of the Agent and any such Sub-Agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities under this Agreement as well as activities as such Agent. Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or conduct of any Sub-Agent that it selects as long as such selection was made without gross negligence or willful misconduct.
15.3 Liability of Agent.None of the Agent-Related Persons shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any officer or director thereof, contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or for any failure of Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any other party to any Loan Document to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation to any Lenders to ascertain or to inquire as to (i) the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the books and records or properties of Borrower or its Subsidiaries, (ii) any statement, warranty or representation made by any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iv) 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 or Event of Default, (v) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Guaranty and Security Agreement or any other Loan Document, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or
(vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article 3 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Agent.
15.4 Reliance by Agent.Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, and shall not incur any liability for relying, upon any writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram, telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission, telex or telephone message, statement or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent, or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to Borrower or counsel to any Lender), independent accountants and other experts selected by Agent. The 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. Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless Agent shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate and until such instructions are received, Agent shall act, or refrain from acting, as it deems advisable. If Agent so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent of the Required Lenders and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
15.5 Notice of Default or Event of Default.Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless and until notice describing such Default or Event of Default is given to the Agent in writing by the Loan Parties or a Lender. Agent promptly will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice or of any Event of Default of which Agent has actual knowledge. If any Lender obtains actual knowledge of any Event of Default, such Lender promptly shall notify the other Lenders and Agent of such Event of Default. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for giving any notices to its Participants, if any. Subject toSection 15.4, Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may be requested by the Required Lenders in accordance withSection 9;provided, that unless and until Agent has received any such request, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable. In no event shall the Agent be required to comply with any such directions to the extent that the Agent believes that its compliance with such directions would be unlawful.
15.6 Credit Decision.Each Lender acknowledges that none of the Agent-Related Persons has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by Agent hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender. Each Lender represents to Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such due diligence, documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document, and all applicable bank regulatory laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to Borrower. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document. Except for notices, reports, and other documents expressly herein required to be furnished to
the Lenders by Agent, Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower or any other Person party to a Loan Document that may come into the possession of any of the Agent-Related Persons. Each Lender acknowledges that Agent does not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis (except to the extent, if any, that is expressly specified herein) to provide such Lender with any credit or other information with respect to Borrower, its Affiliates or any of their respective business, legal, financial or other affairs, and irrespective of whether such information came into Agent’s or its Affiliates’ or representatives’ possession before or after the date on which such Lender became a party to this Agreement.
15.7 Costs and Expenses; Indemnification.Agent may incur and pay Lender Group Expenses to the extent Agent reasonably deems necessary or appropriate for the performance and fulfillment of its functions, powers, and obligations pursuant to the Loan Documents, including court costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses (limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to reasonable and documented fees and expenses of one counsel to the Agent, any Sub-Agent and the Lenders (taken as a whole) in each material or relevant jurisdiction (unless (x) a conflict or potential conflict exists as determined in the reasonable judgment of any such party in which case(s) the fees, charges and disbursements of reasonably necessary additional counsel for all such affected parties shall be covered, (y) special regulatory counsel is necessary as determined in the reasonable judgment of the Agent or the Required Lenders, in which case the fees and expenses of such regulatory counsel shall be covered or (z) an Event of Default exists)), fees and expenses of financial accountants, advisors, consultants, and appraisers, costs of collection by outside collection agencies, auctioneer fees and expenses, and costs of security guards or insurance premiums paid to maintain the Collateral, whether or not Borrower is obligated to reimburse Agent or Lenders for such expenses pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise. Agent is authorized and directed to deduct and retain sufficient amounts from payments or proceeds of the Collateral received by Agent to reimburse Agent for such out-of-pocket costs and expenses prior to the distribution of any amounts to Lenders. In the event Agent is not reimbursed for such costs and expenses by Borrower or its Subsidiaries, each Lender hereby agrees that it is and shall be obligated to pay to Agent such Lender’s ratable thereof. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Lenders, on a ratable basis, shall indemnify and defend the Agent-Related Persons (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of Borrower or any other Loan Party to do so) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities;provided, that no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from such Agent-Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct nor shall any Lender be liable for the obligations of any Defaulting Lender in failing to make a Loan or other extension of credit hereunder. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse Agent upon demand for such Lender’s ratable share of any costs or out of pocket expenses (including attorneys, accountants, advisors, and consultants fees and expenses) incurred by Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the extent that Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Loan Party.

The other members of the Lender
Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Cantor Fitzgerald Securities or its Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), Agent shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them. The terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include Cantor Fitzgerald Securities in its individual capacity, to the extent Cantor Fitzgerald Securities is party hereto as a Lender at the relevant time of determination.
15.9 Successor Agent.Agent may resign as Agent upon 30 days prior written notice to the Lenders (unless such notice is waived by the Required Lenders) and Borrower (unless such notice is waived by Borrower). If Agent resigns under this Agreement, the Required Lenders shall be entitled, with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned), appoint a successor Agent for the Lenders. If no successor Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of Agent, Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and Borrower, a successor Agent. If Agent has materially breached or failed to perform any material provision of this Agreement or of applicable law, the Required Lenders may agree in writing to remove and replace Agent with a successor Agent from among the Lenders with (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) the consent of Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned). In any such event, upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor Agent hereunder, such successor Agent shall succeed to all the rights, powers, and duties of the retiring Agent and the term “Agent” shall mean such successor Agent and the retiring Agent’s appointment, powers, and duties as Agent shall be terminated. After any retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder as Agent, the provisions of thisSection 15 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. If no successor Agent has accepted appointment as Agent by the date which is 30 days following a retiring Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the duties of Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided for above.

The other members of the Lender Group acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, such Lender and its respective Affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower or its Affiliates or any other Person party to any Loan Documents that is subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of Borrower or such other Person and that prohibit the disclosure of such information to the Lenders, and the Lenders acknowledge that, in such circumstances (and in the absence of a waiver of such confidentiality obligations, which waiver such Lender will use its reasonable best efforts to obtain), such Lender shall not be under any obligation to provide such information to them.
15.11 Collateral Matters.
(a) The Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent to release any Lien on any Collateral (other than the Zohydro Assets and any material Intellectual Property that constitutes Collateral, except in the case of clause (i) or if all of the Lenders have expressly consented thereto in writing) (i) upon the termination of the Commitments and payment and satisfaction in full by Borrower of all of the Obligations, (ii) constituting property being sold or disposed of if a release is required or
desirable in connection therewith and if Borrower certifies to Agent that (x) the sale or disposition is permitted underSection 6.4and (y) following such sale or disposition, such property no longer constitutes Collateral and is not required to be pledged as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents (and Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry), (iii) constituting property in which Borrower or its Subsidiaries owned no interest at the time Agent’s Lien was granted nor at any time thereafter, (iv) constituting property leased or licensed to Borrower or its Subsidiaries under a lease or license that has expired or is terminated in a transaction permitted under this Agreement and such property no longer constitutes Collateral and is not required to be pledged as Collateral pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (v) in connection with a credit bid or purchase authorized under thisSection 15.11. The Loan Parties and the Lenders hereby irrevocably authorize Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, to (a) consent to the sale of, credit bid, or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale thereof conducted under the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, including Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any sale or other disposition thereof conducted under the provisions of the Code, including pursuant to Sections 9-610 or 9-620 of the Code, or (c) credit bid or purchase (either directly or indirectly through one or more entities) all or any portion of the Collateral at any other sale or foreclosure conducted or consented to by Agent in accordance with applicable law in any judicial action or proceeding or by the exercise of any legal or equitable remedy. In connection with any such credit bid or purchase, (i) the Obligations owed to the Lenders shall be entitled to be, and shall be, credit bid on a ratable basis (with Obligations with respect to contingent or unliquidated claims being estimated for such purpose if the fixing or liquidation thereof would not impair or unduly delay the ability of Agent to credit bid or purchase at such sale or other disposition of the Collateral and, if such contingent or unliquidated claims cannot be estimated without impairing or unduly delaying the ability of Agent to credit bid at such sale or other disposition, then such claims shall be disregarded, not credit bid, and not entitled to any interest in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase) and the Lenders whose Obligations are credit bid shall be entitled to receive interests (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) in the Collateral that is the subject of such credit bid or purchase (or in the Equity Interests of the any entities that are used to consummate such credit bid or purchase), and (ii) Agent, based upon the instruction of the Required Lenders, may accept non-cash consideration, including debt and equity securities issued by any entities used to consummate such credit bid or purchase and in connection therewith Agent may reduce the Obligations owed to the Lenders (ratably based upon the proportion of their Obligations credit bid in relation to the aggregate amount of Obligations so credit bid) based upon the value of such non-cash consideration. Except as provided above, Agent will not execute and deliver a release of any Lien on any Collateral without the prior written authorization of (y) if the release is of all or substantially all of the Collateral, all of the Lenders, or (z) otherwise, the Required Lenders. Upon request by Agent or Borrower at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing Agent’s authority to release any such Liens on particular types or items of Collateral expressly permitted to be released pursuant to thisSection 15.11;provided, that (1) anything to the contrary contained in any of the Loan Documents notwithstanding, Agent shall not be required to execute any document or take any action necessary to evidence such release on terms that, in Agent’s opinion, could expose Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Lien without recourse, representation, or warranty, and (2) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect, or impair the Obligations or any Liens (other than those expressly released) upon (or obligations of Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in respect of) any and all interests retained by Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, including, the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. Each Lender further hereby irrevocably authorizes Agent, at its option and in its sole discretion, to subordinate any Lien granted to or held by Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Permitted Collateral Lien on such property if such Permitted Collateral Lien secures Permitted Purchase Money Indebtedness.
(b) Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any of the Lenders (i) to verify or assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower or its Subsidiaries or is cared for, protected, or insured or has been encumbered, (ii) to verify or assure that Agent’s Liens have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected, or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, (iii) to verify or assure that any particular items of Collateral meet the eligibility criteria applicable in respect thereof, (iv) to impose, maintain, increase, reduce, implement, or eliminate any particular reserve hereunder or to determine whether the amount of any reserve is appropriate or not, or (v) to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Agent pursuant to any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission, or event related thereto, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion given Agent’s own interest in the Collateral in its capacity as one of the Lenders and that Agent shall have no other duty or liability whatsoever to any Lender as to any of the foregoing, except as otherwise expressly provided herein.
15.12 Restrictions on Actions by Lenders; Sharing of Payments.
(a) Each of the Lenders agrees that it shall not, without the express written consent of Agent, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the written request of Agent, set off against the Obligations, any amounts owing by such Lender to Borrower or its Subsidiaries or any deposit accounts of Borrower or its Subsidiaries now or hereafter maintained with such Lender. Each of the Lenders further agrees that it shall not, unless specifically requested to do so in writing by Agent, take or cause to be taken any action, including, the commencement of any legal or equitable proceedings to enforce any Loan Document against Borrower or any Guarantor or to foreclose any Lien on, or otherwise enforce any security interest in, any of the Collateral.
(b) If, at any time or times any Lender shall receive (i) by payment, foreclosure, setoff, or otherwise, any proceeds of Collateral or any payments with respect to the Obligations, except for any such proceeds or payments received by such Lender from Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (ii) payments from Agent in excess of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of all such distributions by Agent, such Lender promptly shall (A) turn the same over to Agent, in kind, and with such endorsements as may be required to negotiate the same to Agent, or in immediately available funds, as applicable, for the account of all of the Lenders and for application to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement, or (B) purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Obligations owed to the other Lenders so that such excess payment received shall be applied ratably as among the Lenders in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares;provided, that to the extent that such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases of participations shall be rescinded in whole or in part, as applicable, and the applicable portion of the purchase price paid therefor shall be returned to such purchasing party, but without interest except to the extent that such purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with the recovery of the excess payment.
15.13 Agency for Perfection.Agent hereby appoints each other Lender as its agent (and each Lender hereby accepts such appointment) for the purpose of perfecting Agent’s Liens in assets which, in accordance with Article 8 or Article 9, as applicable, of the Code can be perfected by possession or control. Should any Lender obtain possession or control of any such Collateral, such Lender shall notify Agent thereof, and, promptly upon Agent’s request therefor shall deliver possession or control of such Collateral to Agent or in accordance with Agent’s instructions.
15.14 Payments by Agent to the Lenders.All payments to be made by Agent to the Lenders shall be made by bank wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant to such wire transfer
instructions as each party may designate for itself by written notice to Agent. Concurrently with each such payment, Agent shall identify whether such payment (or any portion thereof) represents principal, premium, fees, or interest of the Obligations.
15.15 Concerning the Collateral and Related Loan Documents.Each member of the Lender Group authorizes and directs Agent to enter into this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each member of the Lender Group agrees that any action taken by Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents relating to the Collateral and the exercise by Agent of its powers set forth therein or herein, together with such other powers that are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be binding upon all of the Lenders.
15.16 Confidentiality; Disclaimers by Lenders; Other Reports and Information. By becoming a party to this Agreement, each Lender agrees to keep all material, non-public information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans in a confidential manner in accordance withSection 17.9. In addition to the foregoing, (x) any Lender may from time to time request of Agent in writing that Agent provide to such Lender a copy of any report or document provided by Borrower or its Subsidiaries to Agent that has not been contemporaneously provided by Borrower or such Subsidiary to such Lender, and, upon receipt of such request, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, (y) to the extent that Agent is entitled, under any provision of the Loan Documents, to request additional reports or information from Borrower or its Subsidiaries, any Lender may, from time to time, reasonably request Agent to exercise such right as specified in such Lender’s notice to Agent, whereupon Agent promptly shall request of Borrower the additional reports or information reasonably specified by such Lender, and, upon receipt thereof from Borrower or such Subsidiary, Agent promptly shall provide a copy of same to such Lender, and (z) any time that Agent renders to Borrower a statement regarding the Loan Account, Agent shall send a copy of such statement to each Lender.
15.17 Several Obligations; No Liability. Notwithstanding that certain of the Loan Documents now or hereafter may have been or will be executed only by or in favor of Agent in its capacity as such, and not by or in favor of the Lenders, any and all obligations on the part of Agent (if any) to make any credit available hereunder shall constitute the several (and not joint) obligations of the respective Lenders on a ratable basis, according to their respective Commitments, to make an amount of such credit not to exceed, in principal amount, at any one time outstanding, the amount of their respective Commitments. Nothing contained herein shall confer upon any Lender any interest in, or subject any Lender to any liability for, or in respect of, the business, assets, profits, losses, or liabilities of any other Lender. Each Lender shall be solely responsible for notifying its Participants of any matters relating to the Loan Documents to the extent any such notice may be required, and no Lender shall have any obligation, duty, or liability to any Participant of any other Lender. Except as provided in Section 15.7, no member of the Lender Group shall have any liability for the acts of any other member of the Lender Group. No Lender shall be responsible to Borrower or any other Person for any failure by any other Lender to fulfill its obligations to make credit available hereunder, nor to advance for such Lender or on its behalf, nor to take any other action on behalf of such Lender hereunder or in connection with the financing contemplated herein.
16. WITHHOLDING TAXES.
16.1 Payments.All payments made by Borrower hereunder or under any note or other Loan Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim, or other defense. In addition, all such payments will be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future Indemnified Taxes, and in the event any deduction or withholding of Indemnified Taxes is required, Borrower shall comply with the next sentence of thisSection 16.1. If any Indemnified Taxes are so
levied or imposed, Borrower agrees to pay the full amount of such Indemnified Taxes and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all amounts due under this Agreement, any note, or Loan Document, including any amount paid pursuant to thisSection 16.1 after withholding or deduction for or on account of any Indemnified Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided for herein. Borrower will furnish to Agent as promptly as possible after the date the payment of any Indemnified Tax is due pursuant to applicable law, certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by Borrower. Without any duplication of any other obligation under thisSection 16.1, Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp, value added or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes, charges, or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, performance, recordation, or filing of, or otherwise with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except any such Taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to an assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 14.2).
16.2 Exemptions.
(a) If a Lender or Participant is entitled to claim an exemption from applicable withholding tax in any jurisdiction, such Lender or such Participant agrees with and in favor of Agent, to deliver to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) any such form or forms, as may be required under the laws of such jurisdiction as a condition to exemption from, or reduction of, foreign withholding or backup withholding tax before receiving its first payment under this Agreement, but only if such Lender or such Participant is legally able to deliver such forms,provided, that nothing in thisSection 16.2(a) shall require a Lender or Participant to disclose any information that it deems to be confidential (including, its tax returns). Each Lender and each Participant shall provide new forms (or successor forms) upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered forms and shall promptly notify Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, notify the Lender granting the participation only) of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction.
(b) If a Lender or Participant claims exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax and such Lender or Participant sells, assigns, grants a participation in, or otherwise transfers all or part of the Obligations of Borrower to such Lender or Participant, such Lender or Participant agrees to notify Agent (or, in the case of a sale of a participation interest, to notify the Lender granting the participation only) of the percentage amount in which it is no longer the beneficial owner of Obligations of Borrower to such Lender or Participant. To the extent of such percentage amount, Agent will treat such Lender’s or such Participant’s documentation provided pursuant toSection 16.2(a) as no longer valid. With respect to such percentage amount, such Participant or Assignee will provide new documentation, pursuant toSection 16.2(a), if applicable. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of thisSection 16 with respect to its participation in any portion of the Commitments and the Obligations so long as such Participant complies with the obligations set forth in thisSection 16 with respect thereto.
16.3 Reductions.
(a) If a Lender or a Participant is subject to an applicable withholding tax, Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any payment to such Lender or such Participant an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax (subject to the third sentence of Section 16.1). If the forms or other documentation required bySection 16.2(a) are not delivered to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), then Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation) may withhold from any payment to such Lender or such Participant not providing such forms or other documentation an amount equivalent to the applicable withholding tax.
(b) If the IRS or any other Governmental Authority of the United States or other
jurisdiction asserts a claim that Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, the Lender granting the participation) did not properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of any Lender or any Participant due to a failure on the part of the Lender or any Participant (because the appropriate form was not delivered, was not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify Agent (or such Participant failed to notify the Lender granting the participation) of a change in circumstances which rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective, or for any other reason) such Lender shall indemnify and hold Agent harmless (or, in the case of a Participant, such Participant shall indemnify and hold the Lender granting the participation harmless) for all amounts paid, directly or indirectly, by Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation), as tax or otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender granting the participation only) under thisSection 16, together with all costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses). The obligation of the Lenders and the Participants under this subsection shall survive the payment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of Agent.
16.4 Refunds. If Agent or a Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes to which Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to thisSection 16, it shall pay over such refund to Borrower (but only to the extent of payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrower under thisSection 16 with respect to Indemnified Taxes giving rise to such a refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the applicable Governmental Authority with respect to such a refund); provided, that Borrower, upon the request of Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges, imposed by the applicable Governmental Authority, other than such penalties, interest or other charges imposed as a result of the willful misconduct or gross negligence of Agent hereunder) to Agent or such Lender in the event Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, thisSection 16.4 shall not be construed to require Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information which it deems confidential) to Borrower or any other Person.
Subject toSection 16.2(b), nothing in thisSection 16 shall be construed as creating any obligations of Borrower to any Participant or any rights in favor of any Participant against Borrower.
17. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
17.1 Effectiveness.This Agreement shall be binding and deemed effective when executed by Borrower, Agent, and each Lender whose signature is provided for on the signature pages hereof.
17.2 Section Headings.Headings and numbers have been set forth herein for convenience only. Unless the contrary is compelled by the context, everything contained in each Section applies equally to this entire Agreement.
17.3 Interpretation.Neither this Agreement nor any uncertainty or ambiguity herein shall be construed against the Lender Group or Borrower, whether under any rule of construction or otherwise. On the contrary, this Agreement has been reviewed by all parties and shall be construed and interpreted according to the ordinary meaning of the words used so as to accomplish fairly the purposes and intentions of all parties hereto.
17.4 Severability of Provisions.Each provision of this Agreement shall be severable from every other provision of this Agreement for the purpose of determining the legal enforceability of any specific provision.
17.5 [Reserved].
17.6 Debtor-Creditor Relationship. The relationship between the Lenders and Agent, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, is solely that of creditor and debtor. No member of the Lender Group has (or shall be deemed to have) any fiduciary relationship or duty to any Loan Party arising out of or in connection with the Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, and there is no agency or joint venture relationship between the members of the Lender Group, on the one hand, and the Loan Parties, on the other hand, by virtue of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated therein.
17.7 Counterparts; Electronic Execution.This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties on separate counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute but one and the same Agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement. Any party delivering an executed counterpart of this Agreement by telefacsimile or other electronic method of transmission also shall deliver an original executed counterpart of this Agreement but the failure to deliver an original executed counterpart shall not affect the validity, enforceability, and binding effect of this Agreement. The foregoing shall apply to each other Loan Documentmutatis mutandis.
17.8 Revival and Reinstatement of Obligations; Certain Waivers.If any member of the Lender Group repays, refunds, restores, or returns in whole or in part, any payment or property (including any proceeds of Collateral) previously paid or transferred to such member of the Lender Group in full or partial satisfaction of any Obligation or on account of any other obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document, because the payment, transfer, or the incurrence of the obligation so satisfied is asserted or declared to be void, voidable, or otherwise recoverable under any law relating to creditors’ rights, including provisions of the Bankruptcy Code relating to fraudulent transfers, preferences, or other voidable or recoverable obligations or transfers (each, a “Voidable Transfer”), or because such member of the Lender Group elects to do so on the reasonable advice of its counsel in connection with a claim that the payment, transfer, or incurrence is or may be a Voidable Transfer, then, as to any such Voidable Transfer, or the amount thereof that such member of the Lender Group elects to repay, restore, or return (including pursuant to a settlement of any claim in respect thereof), and as to all reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees of such member of the Lender Group related thereto, (i) the liability of the Loan Parties with respect to the amount or property paid, refunded, restored, or returned will automatically and immediately be revived, reinstated, and restored and will exist and (ii) Agent’s Liens securing such liability shall be effective, revived, and remain in full force and effect, in each case, as fully as if such Voidable Transfer had never been made. If, prior to any of the foregoing, (A) Agent’s Liens shall have been released or terminated or (B) any provision of this Agreement shall have been terminated or cancelled, Agent’s Liens, or such provision of this Agreement, shall be reinstated in full force and effect and such prior release, termination, cancellation or surrender shall not diminish, release, discharge, impair or otherwise affect the obligation of any Loan Party in respect of such liability or any Collateral securing such liability.
17.9 Confidentiality.
(a) Agent and Lenders each individually (and not jointly or jointly and severally) agree that material, non-public information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries, their operations, assets, and existing and contemplated business plans (“Confidential Information”) shall be treated by Agent and the Lenders in a confidential manner, and shall not be disclosed by Agent and the Lenders to Persons who are not parties to this Agreement, except: (i) to attorneys for and other advisors, accountants, auditors, and consultants to any member of the Lender Group and to employees, directors and officers of any member of the Lender Group (the Persons in this clause (i), “Lender Group
Representatives”) on a “need to know” basis in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and on a confidential basis, (ii) to Subsidiaries and Affiliates of any member of the Lender Group, provided that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate shall have agreed to receive such information hereunder subject to the terms of thisSection 17.9, (iii) as may be required by regulatory authorities so long as such authorities are informed of the confidential nature of such information, (iv) as may be required by statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation;provided that (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (iv), the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrower with prior notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior notice to Borrower pursuant to the terms of the applicable statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation and (y) any disclosure under this clause (iv) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such statute, decision, or judicial or administrative order, rule, or regulation, (v) as may be agreed to in advance in writing by Borrower, (vi) as requested or required by any Governmental Authority pursuant to any subpoena or other legal process, provided, that, (x) prior to any disclosure under this clause (vi) the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrower with prior written notice thereof, to the extent that it is practicable to do so and to the extent that the disclosing party is permitted to provide such prior written notice to Borrower pursuant to the terms of the subpoena or other legal process and (y) any disclosure under this clause (vi) shall be limited to the portion of the Confidential Information as may be required by such Governmental Authority pursuant to such subpoena or other legal process, (vii) as to any such information that is or becomes generally available to the public (other than as a result of prohibited disclosure by Agent or the Lenders or the Lender Group Representatives), (viii) in connection with any assignment, participation or pledge of any Lender’s interest under this Agreement, provided that prior to receipt of Confidential Information any such assignee, participant, or pledgee shall have agreed in writing to receive such Confidential Information either subject to the terms of thisSection 17.9 or pursuant to confidentiality requirements substantially similar to those contained in thisSection 17.9 (and such Person may disclose such Confidential Information to Persons employed or engaged by them as described in clause (i) above), (ix) in connection with any litigation or other adversary proceeding involving parties hereto which such litigation or adversary proceeding involves claims related to the rights or duties of such parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents;provided, that, prior to any disclosure to any Person (other than any Loan Party, Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel) under this clause (ix) with respect to litigation involving any Person (other than Borrower, Agent, any Lender, any of their respective Affiliates, or their respective counsel), the disclosing party agrees to provide Borrower with prior written notice thereof, and (x) in connection with, and to the extent reasonably necessary for, the exercise of any secured creditor remedy under this Agreement or under any other Loan Document.
(b) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent may disclose information concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to loan syndication and pricing reporting services or in its marketing or promotional materials, with such information to consist of deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications or marketing or promotional materials and may otherwise use the name, logos, and other insignia of Borrower or the other Loan Parties and the Commitments provided hereunder in any “tombstone” or other advertisements, on its website or in other marketing materials of the Agent.
(c) The Loan Parties hereby acknowledge that Agent or its Affiliates may make available to the Lenders materials or information provided by or on behalf of Borrower or any other Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document (collectively, “Borrower Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks, SyndTrak or another similar electronic system (the “Platform”) and certain of the Lenders may be “public-side” Lenders (i.e., Lenders that do not wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities) (each, a “Public Lender”). The Loan Parties shall be deemed to have authorized Agent and its Affiliates and the
Lenders to treat any Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” or otherwise at any time filed with the SEC as not containing any material non-public information with respect to the Loan Parties or their securities for purposes of United States federal and state securities laws. All Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a portion of the Platform designated as “Public Investor” (or another similar term). Agent and its Affiliates and the Lenders shall be entitled to treat any Borrower Materials that are not marked “PUBLIC” or that are not at any time filed with the SEC as being suitable only for posting on a portion of the Platform not marked as “Public Investor” (or such other similar term).
(d) During the course of any visits, inspections, examinations and discussions, representatives of the Agent and the Lenders may encounter individually identifiable healthcare information as defined under HIPAA, or other confidential information relating to healthcare patients (collectively, the “Confidential Healthcare Information”). The Loan Party or relevant Subsidiary thereof maintaining such Confidential Healthcare Information shall, consistent with HIPAA’s “minimum necessary” provisions, permit such disclosure for their “healthcare operations” purposes.
17.10 Survival.All representations and warranties made by the Loan Parties in the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of, or any accrued interest on, any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding or unpaid and so long as the Commitments have not expired or been terminated.
17.11 Patriot Act.Each Lender that is subject to the requirements of the Patriot Act hereby notifies Borrower and the other Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. In addition, if Agent is required by law or regulation or internal policies to do so, it shall have the right to periodically conduct (a) Patriot Act searches, OFAC/PEP searches, and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties and (b) OFAC/PEP searches and customary individual background checks for the Loan Parties’ senior management and key principals, and Borrower agrees to cooperate in respect of the conduct of such searches and further agrees that the reasonable costs and charges for such searches shall constitute Lender Group Expenses hereunder and be for the account of Borrower.
17.12 Integration.This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, reflects the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, before the date hereof.

(ix) Validity of Prepetition Revolving Liens. The Prepetition Revolving Liens (a) constitute valid, binding, enforceable, nonavoidable, properly perfected, first-priority liens on the Prepetition Revolving Collateral, that prior to entry of this Interim Order, were senior in priority (except for any senior Permitted Liens, as defined in and to the extent expressly permitted under the Prepetition Revolving Credit Agreement) over any and all other liens on the Prepetition Revolving Collateral; and (b) are not subject to avoidance, reductions, recharacterization, set-off, subordination (whether equitable, contractual or otherwise), counterclaims, cross-claims, defenses or any other challenges under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law or regulation.

As of the date hereof, the net balance of such claims due and owing to the Debtors by Nalpropion under the Services Agreement or the TSA is equal to $0.
(xiv) Indemnity. The Debtors shall indemnify and hold harmless the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders and each other Indemnified Person (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DIP Credit Agreement.
(xv) Release. The Debtors hereby stipulate and agree that they forever and irrevocably release, discharge and acquit the DIP Agent, Prepetition Agents, Prepetition Treximet Notes Trustee, all former, current and future Prepetition Secured Parties, Prepetition Treximet Noteholders and DIP Lenders, in each case in their capacities as such, and each of their respective successors, assigns, affiliates, subsidiaries, parents, officers, shareholders, directors, employees, attorneys and agents, past, present and future, and their respective heirs,
predecessors, successors and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”) of and from any and all claims, controversies, disputes, liabilities, obligations, demands, damages, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), debts, liens, actions and causes of action of any and every nature whatsoever, in each case arising prior to the date hereof, and relating to, as applicable, the DIP Facility, the DIP Loan Documents, Prepetition Financing Documents, the Prepetition Treximet Notes Financing Documents and/or the transactions contemplated thereunder including, without limitation, (x) any so-called “lender liability” or equitable subordination claims or defenses, (y) any and all claims and causes of action arising under the Bankruptcy Code, and (z) any and all claims and causes of action with respect to the validity, priority, perfection or avoidability of the liens or claims of the Prepetition Secured Parties, Prepetition Agents, Prepetition Treximet Noteholders, Prepetition Treximet Notes Trustee, DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Interim Order shall release or otherwise affect Nalpropion’s contractual payment obligations to the Debtors arising pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Services Agreement or the TSA.
(xvi) Limitation of Liability. None of the Prepetition Secured Parties, Prepetition Agents, Prepetition Treximet Notes Trustee, Prepetition Treximet Noteholders, DIP Agent, or the DIP Lenders are control persons or insiders of the Debtors or any of their affiliates by virtue of any of the actions taken with respect to, in connection with, related to, or arising
from the DIP Facility, the DIP Loan Documents, the Prepetition Financing Documents and/or the Prepetition Treximet Notes Financing Documents. The DIP Lenders shall not, by virtue of making the DIP Loans, be deemed to be in control of the operations of Debtors, to owe any fiduciary duty to the Debtors, their respective creditors, shareholders, or estates or to be acting as a “responsible person” or managing agent with respect to the operation or management of the Debtors.
(xvii) Any payment or obligation requested to be made by the Debtors in connection with the First Day Motions (as defined in the Sedor Declaration) is expressly provided for in the Approved Budget (as defined below).
F. Cash Collateral. For purposes of this Interim Order, the term “Cash Collateral” shall mean and include all “cash collateral” as defined in Bankruptcy Code section 363, in which the Prepetition Secured Parties have a lien or security interest, in each case whether existing on the Petition Date, arising pursuant to this Interim Order or any Final Order, or otherwise. The Debtors represent and stipulate that all of the cash, cash equivalents, negotiable instruments, investment property, and securities of the Prepetition Revolving Borrowers constitute Cash Collateral.
G. Use of DIP Facility and Cash Collateral. The Debtors have an immediate and critical need to use proceeds of the DIP Facility and Cash Collateral to, among other things, continue to operate their business in an orderly manner, maintain business relationships with vendors, fund the Debtors’ marketing and sale process, and to satisfy other working capital and operational needs. Without the use of proceeds of the DIP Facility and Cash Collateral, the Debtors will have insufficient liquidity to conduct a successful sale process and otherwise preserve and maximize the value of the Debtors’ estates. The adequate protection provided
herein and other benefits and privileges contained herein are consistent with and authorized by the Bankruptcy Code and are necessary in order to obtain such consent and to adequately protect the parties’ interests in the Prepetition Collateral. Absent authorization to immediately use proceeds of the DIP Facility and Cash Collateral, the Debtors’ estates and their creditors would suffer immediate and irreparable harm.
H. Other Financing Unavailable. As discussed in the Erickson Declaration, the Debtors are unable to obtain (i) adequate unsecured credit allowable either (a) under sections 364(b) and 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code or (b) under section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) adequate credit secured by (x) a senior lien on unencumbered assets of their estates under section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code or (y) a junior lien on encumbered assets of their estates under section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code; or (iii) secured credit under section 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code on terms more favorable than the terms of the DIP Facility. The Debtors require financing under the DIP Facility and the continued use of Cash Collateral under the terms of this Interim Order to satisfy their post-petition liquidity needs.
I. Best Financing Presently Available. The DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders have agreed to provide the Debtors with financing solely on the terms and conditions set forth in this Interim Order (and, subject to entry by the Court, the Final Order) and the other DIP Loan Documents. After considering all of their alternatives, the Debtors have concluded, in an exercise of their sound business judgment, that the financing to be provided by the DIP Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Interim Order (and, subject to entry by the Court, the Final Order) and the other DIP Loan Documents, represents the best financing presently available to the Debtors.
J. Good Cause for Immediate Entry. Good cause has been shown for immediate entry of this Interim Order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 4001(b)(2) and (c)(2) and Local Rule
4001-2. In particular, the authorization granted herein for the Debtors to enter into the DIP Facility, to continue using Cash Collateral and to obtain interim financing, including on a priming lien basis, is necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors and their estates. Entry of this Interim Order is in the best interest of the Debtors, their estates and creditors. The extensions of credit under the DIP Facility (including the Debtors’ continued use of Cash Collateral) are fair and reasonable under the circumstances, reflect the Debtors’ exercise of prudent business judgment consistent with their fiduciary duties, and are supported by reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration.
K. Good Faith and Arm’s Length Negotiation. The DIP Lenders are good faith financiers. The Debtors, DIP Agent, and DIP Lenders have negotiated the terms and conditions of the DIP Facility and this Interim Order in good faith and at arm’s length, and any credit extended and loans made to the DIP Loan Parties pursuant to this Interim Order shall be, and hereby are, deemed to have been extended, issued or made, as the case may be, in “good faith” within the meaning of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.
L. Application of Proceeds of the DIP Collateral. Subject to and effective upon entry of the Final Order, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Debtors shall apply the cash proceeds from any sale of the DIP Collateral outside of the ordinary course of business to repay the then-outstanding amount of the DIP Obligations, with interest being paid first followed by principal, and any remaining proceeds in accordance with this Interim Order and the DIP Loan Documents.
M. Adequate Protection for the Prepetition Secured Parties. The Prepetition Secured Parties and Prepetition Agents have negotiated and acted in good faith regarding the DIP Facility and the Debtors use of Cash Collateral to fund the administration of the Debtors’ estates and
continued operation of their businesses. The Prepetition Secured Parties have agreed to permit the Debtors to use the Prepetition Collateral, including the Cash Collateral, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Approved Budget subject to Permitted Variances (each as defined below), and the Intercreditor Agreement. The Prepetition Secured Parties are entitled to the adequate protection provided in this Interim Order as and to the extent set forth herein pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 361, 362 and 363. Based on the Motion and on the record presented to the Court at the Interim Hearing, the terms of the proposed adequate protection arrangements and of the use of the Prepetition Collateral (including the Cash Collateral) are fair and reasonable, reflect the Debtors’ prudent exercise of business judgment and constitute reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration for the consent thereto of the Prepetition Collateral (including the Cash Collateral);provided, that nothing in this Interim Order or the other DIP Loan Documents shall (x) be construed as a consent by the Prepetition Secured Parties (or their respective agents) that they would be adequately protected in the event debtor-in-possession financing is provided by a third party (i.e., other than the DIP Lenders) or a consent to the terms of any other such financing or any lien encumbering the DIP Collateral (whether senior or junior) or to the use of Cash Collateral except as provided in this Interim Order and the DIP Loan Documents, or (y) prejudice, limit or otherwise impair the rights of the Prepetition Secured Parties to seek new, different or additional adequate protection in the event circumstances change after the date hereof (subject to the Intercreditor Agreement).
N. Sections 506(c) and 552(b). In light of the Prepetition Secured Parties agreement to subordinate their liens and claims to the Carve-Out, the DIP Liens, and the Adequate Protection Liens, to permit the use of the DIP Facility and Cash Collateral for payments made in accordance with the Approved Budget and the terms of this Interim Order, subject to entry of a
Final Order, the Prepetition Secured Parties are entitled to a waiver of (a) the provisions of Bankruptcy Code section 506(c), and (b) any “equities of the case” claims under Bankruptcy Code section 552(b).
O. Order of the Court. Based upon the foregoing findings, acknowledgements, and conclusions, and upon the record made before this Court at the Interim Hearing, and good and sufficient cause appearing therefor:

In furtherance of the forgoing and without further approval of the Court, each Debtor is authorized to perform all acts, to make, execute and deliver all instruments and documents (including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of security agreements, mortgages and financing statements), and to pay all fees that may be reasonably required or necessary for the DIP Loan Parties’ performance of their obligations under or related to the DIP Facility.
3. Refinancing of Prepetition Revolving Facility. Subject to the rights of any Committee or other parties-in-interest as and to the extent set forth in paragraph33 below, the Debtors are hereby authorized to use proceeds of the DIP Facility and Cash Collateral to pay in full the Prepetition Revolving Debt. The Prepetition Revolving Liens shall be automatically released and terminated upon the Revolver Discharge.4 Until then, subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Interim Order (including, without limitation, the DIP Liens (as defined below) granted hereunder and the Carve-Out (as defined below)), any and all prepetition

(a) The DIP Liens (i) shall constitute first-priority security interests in and liens upon all the DIP Collateral that is not otherwise subject to any valid, perfected, enforceable and nonavoidable lien in existence as of the Petition Date, pursuant to section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (ii) shall, pursuant to section 364(c)(3) and 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, be senior to and prime all other liens and security interests in the DIP Collateral, including, without limitation, the Prepetition Revolving Liens, Prepetition Nalpropion Liens, and Adequate Protection Liens, and shall be junior only to (I) any pre-existing liens as of the Petition Date held by a third party other than the Prepetition Revolving Lenders or Nalpropion, but solely to the extent that such liens and security interests were, in each case, as of the Petition Date (x) valid, enforceable, perfected and non-avoidable liens or were perfected subsequent to the Petition Date as permitted by section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (y) expressly permitted by the terms of the Prepetition Revolving Financing Documents and senior to the Prepetition Revolving Liens (the “Permitted Prior Liens”) and (II) validly existing statutory liens that existed in the
Prepetition Revolving Collateral as of the Petition Date (together with the Permitted Prior Liens, the “Prior Liens”).
(b) The following table sets forth the relative priorities of the Carve-Out, Prior Liens, DIP Liens, Adequate Protection Liens, Contingent Revolving Liens, Prepetition Revolving Liens and Prepetition Nalpropion Liens on some or all of the DIP Collateral upon entry of this Interim Order:

their respective agents), the DIP Agent, and the DIP Lenders contemplated by this Interim Order and the other DIP Loan Documents.
14. Automatic Perfection. The DIP Liens and Adequate Protection Liens granted pursuant to this Interim Order shall constitute valid, enforceable, nonavoidable and duly perfected security interests and liens, and the DIP Agent, DIP Lenders, Prepetition Secured Parties and Prepetition Agents (collectively, the “Adequate Protection Parties”) shall not be required to file or serve financing statements, notices of lien, mortgage deeds, deeds of trust or similar instruments which otherwise may be required under federal, state or local law in any jurisdiction, or take any action, including taking possession, to validate and perfect such security interests and liens; and the failure by the DIP Loan Parties to execute any documentation relating to the DIP Liens or Adequate Protection Liens shall in no way affect the validity, enforceability, perfection or priority of such liens. The DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders and the Adequate Protection Parties are hereby authorized, but not required, to file or record financing statements, trademark filings, copyright filings, mortgages, deeds of trust, notices of lien or similar instruments in any jurisdiction or take any other action in order to validate and perfect the liens and security interests granted to them hereunder. Whether or not the DIP Agent, DIP Lenders or Adequate Protection Parties shall, in their sole discretion, choose to file such financing statements, trademark filings, copyright filings, mortgages, deeds of trust, notices of lien or similar instruments or otherwise confirm perfection of the liens and security interests granted to them hereunder, such liens and security interests shall be deemed valid, perfected, allowed, enforceable, nonavoidable and not subject to challenge, dispute or subordination, at the time and as of the date of entry of this Interim Order; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, none of the liens granted pursuant to this Interim Order shall relate back to any
date that precedes the Petition Date. Upon the request of the DIP Lenders or the Prepetition Secured Parties, the DIP Loan Parties, without any further consent of any party, are authorized to take, execute and deliver such instruments (in each case without representation or warranty of any kind except as set forth in the DIP Loan Documents) to enable the DIP Agent the DIP Lenders or the applicable Adequate Protection Party to further validate, perfect, preserve and enforce the DIP Liens and/or the Adequate Protection Liens. A certified copy of this Interim Order may be filed with or recorded in filing or recording offices in addition to or in lieu of such financing statements, mortgages, deeds of trust, notices of lien or similar instruments, and all filing offices are hereby authorized to accept such certified copy of this Interim Order for filing and recording.
15. Other Automatic Perfection Matters. To the extent that the Prepetition Agents are secured parties under any account control agreements, listed as loss payee under any of the DIP Loan Parties’ insurance policies or is the secured party under any Prepetition Financing Document, the DIP Agent, on behalf of the DIP Lenders, is also deemed to be the secured party under such account control agreements, loss payee under the DIP Loan Parties’ insurance policies and the secured party under each the Prepetition Financing Documents, and shall have all rights and powers in each case attendant to that position (including, without limitation, rights of enforcement), and shall act in that capacity and distribute any proceeds recovered or received in accordance with the terms of this Interim Order and/or the Final Order, as applicable, and the other DIP Loan Documents. The Prepetition Revolving Agent shall serve as agent for the DIP Agent for purposes of perfecting the DIP Agent’s security interests in and liens on all DIP Collateral that is of a type such that perfection of a security interest therein may be accomplished only by possession or control by a secured party.
16. DIP Superpriority Claims. In addition to the liens and security interests granted to the DIP Agent on behalf of the DIP Lenders pursuant to this Interim Order, subject to the Carve-Out and in accordance with sections 364(c)(1), 503 and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code, the DIP Obligations shall constitute allowed superpriority administrative expense claims (the “DIP Superpriority Claims”) with priority over any and all administrative expenses of the Debtors, whether heretofore or hereafter incurred, of the kind specified in, or ordered pursuant to, sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 364, 365, 503(b), 506(c) (subject to entry of the Final Order), 507(a), 507(b), 726, 1113, 1114 or any other provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.
17. Contingent Liens and Adequate Protection of Prepetition Revolving Lenders. Until the occurrence of the Revolver Discharge, the Prepetition Revolving Lenders are entitled to (a) the Contingent Revolving Liens and (b) pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 361, 362, 363(e), 364(d)(1) and 507, adequate protection of their interests in the Prepetition Revolving Collateral, including the Cash Collateral, in an amount equal to the aggregate diminution in the value of the Prepetition Revolving Lenders’ interests in the Prepetition Revolving Collateral (including Cash Collateral) from and after the Petition Date, if any, for any reason provided for under the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, any such diminution resulting from the depreciation, sale, lease or use by the DIP Loan Parties (or other decline in value) of the Prepetition Revolving Collateral, the priming of the Prepetition Revolving Liens by the DIP Liens pursuant to the DIP Loan Documents and this Interim Order and the imposition of the automatic stay pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 362 (the “Prepetition Revolving Adequate Protection Claim”). In consideration of the foregoing, the Prepetition Revolving Lenders are hereby granted the following, in each case, subject to the Carve-Out and the provisions of
paragraph33 of this Interim Order (collectively, the “Prepetition Revolving Lenders Adequate Protection Obligations”):
(a) Contingent Revolving Liens and Prepetition Revolving Adequate Protection Liens. The Prepetition Revolving Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Prepetition Revolving Lenders) is hereby granted (effective and perfected upon the date of this Interim Order and without the necessity of the execution of any mortgages, security agreements, pledge agreements, financing statements or other agreements), (i) in the amount of any Contingent Prepetition Revolving Debt, the Contingent Revolving Liens, and (ii) in the amount of the Prepetition Revolving Adequate Protection Claim, a valid, perfected replacement security interest in and lien (the “Prepetition Revolving Adequate Protection Liens”) (subject to the limitations and priorities set forth above) upon the DIP Collateral;
(b) Prepetition Revolving Superpriority Claim. The Prepetition Revolving Lenders are hereby granted an allowed superpriority administrative expense claim as provided for in section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code to the extent that the Prepetition Revolving Adequate Protection Claim is insufficient to protect the Prepetition Revolving Lenders’ interests in the Prepetition Revolving Collateral with, except as set forth in this Interim Order, priority in payment over any and all administrative expenses of the kind specified or ordered pursuant to any provision of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Prepetition Revolving Superpriority Claim”), which Prepetition Revolving Superpriority Claim shall be payable from and have recourse to all DIP Collateral. The Prepetition Revolving Superpriority Claim shall be subject and subordinate only to the Carve-Out and the DIP Superpriority Claims granted in respect of the DIP Obligations and shall sitpari passu with the Prepetition Term Lenders Superpriority Claim (as defined below). Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Interim Order or the DIP Credit Agreement, the
Prepetition Revolving Lenders shall not receive or retain any payments, property or other amounts in respect of the Prepetition Revolving Superpriority Claim unless and until the DIP Obligations and any claims having a priority superior to orpari passu with the DIP Superpriority Claims have indefeasibly been paid in cash in full;
(c) Contingent Prepetition Revolving Debt. In the event that the Prepetition Revolving Agent or any Prepetition Revolving Lender (each in their capacities as such) is ordered by this Court to disgorge, refund or in any manner repay to any of the Debtors or their estates any amounts (“Disgorged Amounts”) leading to Contingent Prepetition Revolving Debt, the Disgorged Amounts, unless otherwise ordered by the Court, shall be placed in a segregated interest bearing account, pending a further final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction regarding the distribution of such Disgorged Amounts (either returning the Disgorged Amounts to the Prepetition Revolving Agent and the Prepetition Revolving Lenders, distributing such amounts to the Debtors or otherwise).
18. Adequate Protection of Prepetition Term Lenders. The Prepetition Term Lenders are entitled, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 361, 362, 363(e), 364(d)(1) and 507, to adequate protection of their interests in the Prepetition Term Collateral, including Cash Collateral, for and equal in amount to the aggregate diminution in the value of the Prepetition Term Lenders’ interests in the Prepetition Term Collateral from and after the Petition Date, if any, including, without limitation, any such diminution resulting from the depreciation, sale, lease or use by the Debtors (or other decline in value) of the Prepetition Term Collateral, and the imposition of the automatic stay pursuant to section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Prepetition Term Lenders Adequate Protection Claim”). In consideration of the foregoing, the Prepetition Term Lenders are hereby granted the following, in each case subject to the Carve-Out
and the provisions of paragraph33 of this Interim Order (the “Prepetition Term Loan Adequate Protection Obligations”):
(a) Prepetition Term Loan Adequate Protection Liens. The Prepetition Term Lenders are hereby granted, in the amount of the Prepetition Term Lenders Adequate Protection Claim, a replacement security interest in and lien (the “Prepetition Term Loan Adequate Protection Liens”) (subject to the limitations and priorities set forth above) upon the DIP Collateral and the Prepetition Term Collateral;
(b) Prepetition Term Lenders Superpriority Claim. The Prepetition Term Lenders are hereby granted, subject to the Carve-Out, an allowed superpriority claim as provided for in section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, junior to the DIP Superpriority Claims (the “Prepetition Term Lenders Superpriority Claim” and, together with the Prepetition Revolving Superpriority Claim, the “Superpriority Claims”). The Prepetition Term Lenders Superpriority Claim shall be subject and subordinate to only the Carve-Out and the DIP Superpriority Claims granted in respect of the DIP Obligations and shall sitpari passu with the Prepetition Revolving Superpriority Claim. Except to the extent expressly set forth in this Interim Order or the DIP Credit Agreements, the Prepetition Term Lenders shall not receive or retain any payments, property or other amounts in respect of the Prepetition Term Lenders Superpriority Claim unless and until the DIP Obligations and any claims having a priority superior to orpari passu with the DIP Superpriority Claims have indefeasibly been paid in cash;
19. Adequate Protection of Nalpropion. Nalpropion is entitled, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code sections 361, 363(e), and 364(d)(1), to adequate protection of its interests in the Nalpropion Collateral, including Cash Collateral, for and equal in amount to the aggregate diminution in the value of Nalpropion’s interest in the Nalpropion Collateral from and after the
Petition Date, if any, including without limitation, any such diminution resulting from the depreciation, sale, lease or use by the DIP Loan Parties (or other decline in value) of the Nalpropion Collateral, the priming of the Prepetition Nalpropion Liens by the DIP Liens pursuant to the DIP Loan Documents and this Interim Order and the imposition of the automatic stay pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 362. In consideration of the foregoing, Nalpropion is hereby granted, in each case subject to the Carve-Out and paragraph33 of this Interim Order, (the “Nalpropion Adequate Protection Obligations,” and together with the Prepetition Revolving Lenders Adequate Protection Obligations and Prepetition Term Loan Adequate Protection Obligations, the “Adequate Protection Obligations”):
(a) Nalpropion Adequate Protection Liens. Nalpropion is hereby granted a replacement security interest in and lien upon the DIP Collateral held by Pernix Therapeutics (the “Nalpropion Adequate Protection Liens,” and together with the Prepetition Term Loan Adequate Protection Liens and Prepetition Revolving Adequate Protection Liens, the “Adequate Protection Liens”) (subject to the limitations and priorities set forth above) securing the amount of the Nalpropion Secured Obligations equal to the diminution in the value of Nalpropion’s interest in the Nalpropion Collateral from and after the Petition Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Nalpropion Adequate Protection Liens shall be junior to the DIP Liens, Prepetition Revolving Adequate Protection Liens, Prepetition Revolving Liens and Contingent Revolving Liens, but senior to the Prepetition Term Loan Adequate Protection Liens. As a condition to the granting of such Nalpropion Adequate Protection Liens, Nalpropion waives its right to any superpriority claim as provided for in Section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not constitute a waiver of any administrative claim which Nalpropion may have pursuant to Bankruptcy Code Section
503(b)(1) in respect to transactions occurring under the TSA or Services Agreement from and after the Petition Date.
(b) Segregation of Payments. As additional adequate protection of Nalpropion’s security interests in the Nalpropion Collateral, the DIP Loan Parties are authorized and directed to segregate from their other cash, in a manner satisfactory to Nalpropion, cash in an amount equal to any and all amounts due and owing under the TSA, including all amounts relating to the Nalpropion Secured Obligations, whether incurred before, on or after the Petition Date, and all amounts that become due and payable under the TSA, in each case as they come due.
20. DIP Fees and Expenses. The Debtors are authorized to pay any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the DIP Agent and DIP Lenders in connection with the DIP Facility and as provided in the DIP Loan Documents, whether incurred before, on or after the Petition Date and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated or such fees and expenses are set forth in the Approved Budget, including, without limitation, fees and expenses, subject to the Carve-Out, incurred in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation and execution of the DIP Loan Documents; (ii) the funding of the DIP Facility; (iii) the creation, perfection or protection of the liens under the DIP Loan Documents (including all search, filing and recording fees); (iv) the on-going administration of the DIP Loan Documents (including the preparation, negotiation and execution of any amendments, consents, waivers, assignments, restatements or supplements thereto) and the Chapter 11 Cases; (v) the enforcement of the DIP Loan Documents; and (vi) any legal proceeding relating to or arising out of the DIP Facility or the other transactions contemplated by the DIP Loans Documents, including the Chapter 11 Cases. Payment of all such professional fees and expenses shall not be subject to
allowance by the Court; provided, that notice of any such expenses shall be provided to counsel to the Committee (if any). The Debtors shall pay the uncontested, invoiced, reasonable and documented accrued and unpaid out-of-pocket professional fees and expenses within ten (10) days following the presentment of any invoices to the Debtors and the U.S. Trustee. Any written objection raised by the Debtors or the U.S. Trustee with respect to such invoices (with notice provided to the DIP Agent) within ten (10) days of receipt thereof will be resolved by the Court (absent prior consensual resolution thereof). Pending such resolution, the undisputed portion of any such invoice shall be promptly paid by the Debtors. Such fees and expenses shall not be subject to any offset, defense, claim, counterclaim or diminution of any type, kind or nature whatsoever.
21. Carve-Out.
(a) Carve-Out. Upon the DIP Agent’s issuance of a Default Notice (as defined below), all liens, claims and other security interests held by any party, including the Superpriority Claims, Adequate Protection Liens, DIP Liens, Prepetition Liens and Prepetition Treximet Notes Liens shall remain subject and subordinate to the payment of the Carve-Out. “Carve-Out” shall mean the sum of: (i) all fees required to be paid to the Clerk of this Court and to the U.S. Trustee under section 1930(a) of title 28 of the United States Code (without regard to the notice set forth in (iii) below); (ii) all reasonable fees and expenses up to $50,000 incurred by a trustee under section 726(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (without regard to the notice set forth in (iii) below); (iii) subject to the terms of this Interim Order, to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order, procedural order, or otherwise, all unpaid fees and expenses (the “Allowed Professional Fees”) incurred by persons or firms retained by the Debtors pursuant to section 327, 328 or 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Debtor Professionals”) and the Committee
pursuant to section 328 or 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Committee Professionals” and, together with the Debtor Professionals, the “Professional Persons”) (excluding fees and expenses of persons or firms retained by Committee members) at any time before or on the first day following delivery by a DIP Agent of a Default Notice, whether allowed by this Court prior to or after delivery of a Default Notice (the “Pre-Default Notice Amount”); and (iv) Allowed Professional Fees of Professional Persons in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.5 million incurred after the first day following delivery by the DIP Agent of a Default Notice to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order, procedural order or otherwise (the “Post-Default Notice Carve-Out Cap”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the DIP Loan Documents, the DIP Loans and Carve-Out shall not be used to fund aggregate cumulative expenditures for Professional Persons that exceed the maximum amount with respect thereto set forth in the Approved Budget (after giving effect to any Permitted Variance).
(b) Delivery of Weekly Fee Estimates. Not later than 7:00 p.m. EST time on the third business day of each week starting with the first full calendar week following the Petition Date, each Professional Person shall deliver to the Debtors a statement (each such statement, a “Weekly Statement”) setting forth a good-faith estimate of the amount of fees and expenses incurred during the preceding week by such Professional Person (through Saturday of such week, the “Calculation Date”), along with a good-faith estimate of the cumulative total amount of unpaid fees and expenses incurred through the applicable Calculation Date (collectively, “Estimated Fees and Expenses”) and a statement of the amount of such fees and expenses that have been paid to date by the Debtors. No later than one business day after the delivery of a Default Notice, each Professional Person shall deliver one additional statement (the “Final Statement”) to the Debtors setting forth a good-faith estimate of the amount of fees and
expenses incurred during the period commencing on the calendar day after the most recent Calculation Date for which a Weekly Statement has already been delivered and concluding on the date of the Default Notice.
(c) Carve-Out Account. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Termination Event, the DIP Agent may deliver a written Default Notice, which may be delivered by any means permitted under the DIP Credit Agreement, to the Debtors (such day, the “Termination Declaration Date”). The Default Notice shall (x) constitute a demand to the Debtors to utilize all cash on hand as of such date and any available cash thereafter held by any Debtor to fund an account (the “Carve-Out Account”), and (y) be deemed a draw request and notice of borrowing by the DIP Loan Parties for Delayed Draw Loans under the Delayed Draw Commitment (each as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) (on a pro rata basis based on the then outstanding Delayed Draw Commitments), after taking into account the funding described in the previous clause (x), in an amount equal to the lesser of (1) the Carve-Out and (2) the remaining availability under the Delayed Draw Commitments at the time the Default Notice is given (any such amounts actually advanced shall constitute a Loan (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement)). Such amounts shall be held in trust in the Carve-Out Account to pay the Pre-Default Notice Amount and the Post-Default Notice Carve-Out Cap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the DIP Loan Documents, this Interim Order or the Final Order, following delivery of a Default Notice (x) the DIP Agent shall not sweep or foreclose on cash (including cash received as a result of the sale or other disposition of any assets) of the Debtors until the Carve-Out Account has been funded in accordance with the terms of this paragraph.
(d) Requirement to Fund Carve-Out Account. On the first business day after the Termination Declaration Date, notwithstanding anything in the DIP Credit Agreement to the
contrary, including with respect to the existence of a Default (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) or Event of Default, the failure of the DIP Loan Parties to satisfy any or all of the conditions precedent for Delayed Draw Loans under the DIP Facility, any termination of the Delayed Draw Commitments following an Event of Default, or the occurrence of the Maturity Date (each as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), each DIP Lender with an outstanding Delayed Draw Commitment (on a pro rata basis based on the then outstanding Delayed Draw Commitments) shall extend Delayed Draw Loans pursuant to a deemed draw and borrowing equal to such DIP Lender’s pro rata share of the total amount required to fund the borrowings set forth in paragraph21(c). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the DIP Agent or the DIP Lenders be required to (x) extend Delayed Draw Loans to fund the Carve-Out other than pursuant to paragraph21(c) or (y) extend Delayed Draw Loans pursuant to a deemed draw and borrowing pursuant to this paragraph21 in an aggregate amount exceeding the total available Delayed Draw Commitments as of the Termination Declaration Date.
(e) Application of Carve-Out Account. All funds in the Carve-Out Account shall be used first to pay the obligations set forth in clauses (i) through (iv) of the definition of Carve-Out set forth above until paid in full, and then, to the extent the Carve-Out Account has not been reduced to zero, to pay the DIP Agent for the benefit of the DIP Lenders, unless the DIP Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, in cash and all Commitments (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) have been terminated, in which case any such excess shall be paid to the Prepetition Secured Parties in accordance with their rights and priorities as of the Petition Date. All payments and reimbursements made from the Carve-Out Account shall permanently reduce the Carve-Out on a dollar-for-dollar basis. The DIP Agent shall have a security interest in any residual amounts in the Carve-Out Account, which shall secure the DIP Obligations.
(f) Furthermore, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the DIP Loan Documents, this Interim Order or the Final Order, (i) disbursements by the Debtors from the Carve-Out Account shall not constitute a Loan (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) or increase or reduce the DIP Obligations, (ii) the failure of the Carve-Out Account to satisfy in full the Allowed Professional Fees shall not affect the priority of the Carve-Out and (iii) disbursements by the Debtors from the Carve-Out Account shall be included in the Debtors’ monthly operating reports filed with the Court. Finally, while the terms of this Interim Order place limitations on the payment of Allowed Professionals Fees from borrowings under the DIP Facility, Cash Collateral and the Carve-Out Account, such provisions shall not operate to create a cap or limitation on the amount of the Allowed Professional Fees due and payable by the Debtors.
(g) The payment of any Allowed Professional Fees pursuant to the Carve-Out shall not, and shall not be deemed to (i) reduce the Debtors’ obligations owed to the DIP Agent, DIP Lenders, the Prepetition Agents, or the Prepetition Secured Parties (whether under this Interim Order or otherwise) or, (ii) other than as necessary to permit the payment of such Allowed Professional Fees (in each case, subject to the terms of and as expressly provided in this Interim Order with respect to the Carve-Out), modify, alter or otherwise affect any of the liens and security interests of such parties (whether granted under this Interim Order or otherwise) in the Prepetition Collateral or the DIP Collateral (or their claims against the Debtors). The DIP Agent, DIP Lenders, Prepetition Agents, and the Prepetition Secured Parties shall not be responsible for the direct payment or reimbursement of any Allowed Professional Fees, or any fees or expenses of the U.S. Trustee or Clerk of the Court (or of any other entity) incurred in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases.
22. Excluded Professional Fees. The Debtors shall not assert or prosecute, and no portion of the DIP Facility, the DIP Collateral, the Cash Collateral, or the Carve-Out, and no disbursements set forth in the Approved Budget, shall be used for the payment of professional fees, disbursements, costs or expenses incurred in connection with (a) asserting or prosecuting any claims, causes of action, or lodging an objection against the Prepetition Secured Parties, Prepetition Agents, Prepetition Treximet Noteholders, Prepetition Treximet Notes Trustee, DIP Agent, or DIP Lenders, (b) asserting or prosecuting any claims, causes of action, or lodging an objection to the Prepetition Obligations, Prepetition Treximet Notes Obligations, DIP Obligations, DIP Liens, Prepetition Treximet Notes Liens or Prepetition Liens, (c) lodging an Objection (as defined below), or (d) objecting to, contesting, delaying, preventing or interfering with in any way the exercise of rights and remedies by the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders with respect to the DIP Collateral once a Termination Event has occurred (except that the Borrower may contest or dispute whether a Termination Event has occurred and the Borrower shall be entitled to any notice provisions provided in this Interim Order). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Debtors shall be permitted to enforce the terms of the DIP Facility or this Interim Order, and (ii) no more than $50,000 of the proceeds of the DIP Facility, DIP Collateral, or Cash Collateral may be used by the Committee in connection with the investigation of, but not litigation, objection or any challenge to, the Prepetition Liens or Prepetition Obligations (the “Investigation Budget”).
23. 506(c) Waiver; Marshaling. Subject only to and effective upon the entry of the Final Order, the Debtors (on behalf of themselves and their estates) shall irrevocably waive, and shall be prohibited from asserting, any surcharge claim under Bankruptcy Code section 506(c) or otherwise for any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preservation, protection or
enhancement of, or realization by the Prepetition Secured Parties upon, the Prepetition Collateral. In no event shall the DIP Lenders, Prepetition Revolving Lenders or Nalpropion be subject to the equitable doctrine of marshaling or any similar doctrine with respect to the DIP Collateral.
24. Restrictions on Granting Post-Petition Liens; Collateral Rights; Limitations in Respect of Subsequent Court Orders and Subordination of Liens. Except for the Carve-Out or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Interim Order, it shall constitute a Termination Event if any of the Debtors incur or request authority to incur a claim or grant a lien (or a claim or lien is allowed) having a priority superior to orpari passu with those granted pursuant to this Interim Order to the Prepetition Agents or Prepetition Secured Parties at any time during which any portion of the DIP Obligations, Prepetition Obligations, and Adequate Protection Obligations remains outstanding. Without limiting any other provisions and protections of this Interim Order, unless the DIP Lenders have provided their prior written consent, there shall not be entered in these proceedings, or in any Successor Cases, any order which authorizes the obtaining of credit or the incurring of indebtedness that is secured by a security, mortgage, or collateral interest or other lien on all or any portion of the DIP Collateral and/or entitled to priority administrative status which is superior to orpari passu with those granted pursuant to this Interim Order for any purpose other than as set forth in the Approved Budget. Without limiting the provisions and protections of this paragraph, if at any time prior to the indefeasible repayment and satisfaction in full and in cash of all DIP Obligations and the Prepetition Obligations, any trustee, any examiner with enlarged powers or any responsible officer subsequently appointed, shall obtain credit or incur debt in violation of this Interim Order or the other DIP Loan Documents, then all of the cash proceeds derived from such credit or debt and all Cash Collateral shall immediately
be turned over to the DIP Agent or the Prepetition Agents, as the case may be, for application in accordance with this Interim Order, the DIP Loan Documents, the Prepetition Financing Documents, the Intercreditor Agreement, as applicable, and under applicable law.
25. Binding Nature of Order. The provisions of this Interim Order shall be binding upon the Debtors and their respective successors and assigns, including, without limitation, any trustee or other fiduciary hereafter elected or appointed for or on behalf of any of the Debtors.
26. Survival of Order. With respect to the DIP Lenders, Prepetition Agents, Prepetition Secured Parties, Prepetition Treximet Notes Trustee and Prepetition Treximet Noteholders, the provisions of this Interim Order and any actions taken pursuant thereto (a) shall survive the entry of any order: (i) confirming any plan of reorganization in any of the Chapter 11 Cases; (ii) converting any of the Chapter 11 Cases to a case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (iii) dismissing any of the Chapter 11 Cases; and (b) shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the entry of any such order, and the claims, liens, and security interests granted pursuant to this Interim Order shall maintain their priority as provided by this Interim Order until all of the DIP Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full and discharged in accordance with the DIP Loan Documents. The DIP Obligations shall not be discharged by the entry of any order confirming any plan of reorganization in any of the Chapter 11 Cases that does not provide for the payment in full and in cash of the DIP Obligations, and upon the entry of any such order, the Debtors shall, and shall be deemed to, waive any such discharge pursuant to section 1141(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.
27. Protection under Section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. If any or all of the provisions of this Interim Order are hereafter reversed, modified, vacated or stayed, such reversal, modification, vacatur or stay shall not affect (i) the validity of any DIP Obligations or
Adequate Protection Obligations incurred prior to the actual receipt by the DIP Lenders and the Prepetition Secured Parties of written notice of the effective date of such reversal, modification, vacation or stay, or (ii) the validity or enforceability of any claim, lien, security interest or priority authorized or created hereby or pursuant to the DIP Loan Documents with respect to any DIP Obligations or Adequate Protection Obligations. Notwithstanding any such reversal, modification, vacatur or stay, any use of Cash Collateral or the incurrence of DIP Obligations or Adequate Protection Obligations by the DIP Loan Parties prior to the actual receipt by the Prepetition Secured Parties and Prepetition Agents of written notice of the effective date of such reversal, modification, vacatur, or stay, shall be governed in all respects by the provisions of this Interim Order, and DIP Lenders, DIP Agent, Prepetition Secured Parties, and Prepetition Agents shall be entitled to all of the rights, remedies, protections and benefits granted under section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, this Interim Order, the Intercreditor Agreement, and the other DIP Loan Documents with respect to all uses of Cash Collateral and the incurrence of DIP Obligations and Adequate Protection Obligations.
