Section 8. Reserved.
Section 9. Specific Performance; Limitation of Damages
It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and, except with respect to any funding commitments under the Restructuring Documents, each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach, including, without limitation, any order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply with any of its obligations hereunder. Each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with such remedy. No claim may be made by any Party or its successors or assigns against the Debtors or their directors, officers, employees, counsel, representatives, agents or attorneys-in-fact of any of
29
them for any special, indirect, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, including the loss of future revenue, income or opportunity, in respect of any claim for breach or alleged breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any Restructuring Document, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party or any other Party.
Section 10. Reserved.
Section 11. Amendments and Waivers
Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Restructuring Term Sheets, may not be modified, amended or supplemented in any manner and no provision of this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Restructuring Term Sheets, may be waived except with the prior written consent of the Requisite Commitment Creditors, the Requisite Backstop Shareholders and LATAM Parent (solely with respect to the Milestones in accordance with terms of this Agreement, email from counsel being sufficient); provided, however, that any such modification, amendment, supplement or waiver that would have a disproportionally adverse effect, on an economic or non-economic basis, on a Party shall also require the prior written consent of such Party; provided, further, however, that any amendment to the definition of “Backstop Shareholder” contained in this Agreement requires the prior written consent of (i) the Debtors, (ii) the Requisite Commitment Creditors, and (ii) each of the Backstop Shareholders., as applicable, provided further that any modification or amendment to the definition of “Requisite Commitment Creditors” in this Agreement shall require the prior written consent of each of the Commitment Creditors; provided, further, that, excluding the payment described in subsection (i) of footnotes 7 and 9 in the Plan Term Sheet, which shall remain fixed, any modification, amendment, supplement or waiver that would have a disproportionally adverse effect, on an economic basis on any Commitment Creditor or group of Commitment Creditors under the terms of this Agreement, shall also require the prior written consent of each adversely affected Commitment Creditor;
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement to this Section 11 shall require the prior written consent of each of the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, if any Party shall cease to be a Party to this Agreement in accordance with its terms, such Party’s consent will not be required to modify, amend or supplement this Agreement, including the Restructuring Term Sheets, nor to waive any provision of this Agreement, including the Restructuring Term Sheets, in accordance with this Section 11.
No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Restructuring Term Sheets shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any other provision hereof or thereof, whether or not such provisions are similar, nor shall any waiver of a provision of this Agreement be deemed a continuing waiver of such provision.
30
Section 12. Representation by Counsel
Each Party acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to be represented by counsel in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived. The provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted in a reasonable manner to effect the intent of the Parties hereto. None of the Parties hereto shall have any term or provision construed against such Party solely by reason of such Party having drafted the same.
Section 13. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial
This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws that would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to any matter under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, shall be brought in the Bankruptcy Court, and, if the Bankruptcy Court does not have (or abstains from) jurisdiction, such legal action, suit or proceeding may be brought in the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, or if such courts do not have the necessary jurisdiction, the courts of the State of New York sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and appellate courts from any thereof (the “Chosen Courts”). By execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereto hereby irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chosen Courts, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding. EACH PARTY HERETO UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING REFERRED TO ABOVE.
Section 14. Reserved.
Section 15. Notices
All demands, notices, requests, consents and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing, sent contemporaneously to all of the Commitment Parties and the Debtors, and deemed given when delivered, if delivered by hand, or upon transmission, if delivered by email or facsimile, at the addresses and facsimile numbers set forth on Schedule III hereto. When written notice is required under this Agreement, email delivery of such written notice to primary counsel of the applicable party to be noticed is sufficient.
Section 16. Reservation of Rights
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair or restrict the ability of each Party to protect and preserve its rights, remedies and interests, including its Participating Claims, any other claims against the Debtors or other parties and Existing Common Stock. Without limiting the foregoing sentence in any way, after a Termination Event, the Parties hereto each fully reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, claims and interests, subject to Section 7, in the case of any claim for breach of this Agreement.
31
Section 17. Rule of Interpretation
This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with section 102 of the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, it is the intent of the Parties that all references to votes or voting in this Agreement be interpreted to include all means of expressing agreement with, or rejection of, as the case may be, a Restructuring Transaction.
Section 18. Survival
Notwithstanding (a) any transfer of Participating Claims in accordance with Section 6 or (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the agreements and obligations of the Parties in Section 2, Section 11, Section 12, Section 13, Section 15, Section 16, Section 17, Section 18, Section 19, Section 20, Section 22, Section 23, Section 24, Section 25, Section 27 and Section 29, shall survive such transfer and/or termination and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Parties in accordance with the terms hereof.
Section 19. Successors and Assigns; Severability; Several Obligations
This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective permitted successors, assigns, heirs, executors, estates, administrators and representatives. Any Party may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without any such consent, to any affiliate of such Party, by operation of law, in connection with a change of control or to any successor to all or substantially all of the party’s business or assets, provided that the assignor shall remain liable for its obligations under this Agreement. The invalidity or unenforceability at any time of any provision hereof in any jurisdiction shall not affect or diminish in any way the continuing validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or the continuing validity and enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 19 shall be deemed to amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or constitute a waiver of, any Termination Event. The agreements, representations and obligations of the Commitment Parties under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint.
Section 20. Third-Party Beneficiaries
This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the Parties hereto and no other person or entity shall be an express or implied third party beneficiary hereof or have any rights hereunder.
Section 21. Counterparts; Additional Commitment Parties
This Agreement may be executed in several identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall be deemed to be one and the same agreement. Execution copies of this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile, electronic mail or otherwise, each of which shall be deemed to be an original for the purposes of this paragraph. Any holder of claims that is not already an existing Commitment Party hereto may execute and deliver the Joinder and, in doing so, shall become a Joining Party and shall thereafter be deemed to be a “Commitment Party” and a Party for all purposes under this Agreement; provided however, that such Commitment Party shall not be a Backstop Party.
32
Section 22. Entire Agreement; Prior Negotiations
This Agreement, including the attached Restructuring Term Sheets, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements, negotiations, representations, warranties, and understandings by or among any Parties (oral and written) but shall not supersede the Restructuring Documents; provided, however, that the Parties acknowledge and agree that any confidentiality, non-disclosure or other similar agreements heretofore executed between the Debtors and any Commitment Party or such Commitment Party’s advisors shall continue in full force and effect as provided therein.
Section 23. Headings
The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Agreement and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 24. Independent Due Diligence and Decision-Making
Each Party hereto hereby confirms that it has made its own decision to execute this Agreement based upon its own independent assessment of documents and information available to it, as it has deemed appropriate.
Section 25. Settlement Discussions
This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Parties. Regardless of whether or not the transactions contemplated herein are consummated, or whether or not a Termination Event has occurred, if applicable, nothing herein shall be construed herein as an admission of any kind or a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights or remedies, and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights and remedies. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408, any applicable state rules of evidence and any other applicable law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than to prove the existence of this Agreement or in a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement or as a defense in connection with such a proceeding.
Section 26. Publicity
The Parties shall submit drafts to counsel of the other Parties of any press releases and public documents that constitute disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement or any amendment to the terms of this Agreement to the general public at least two (2) calendar days before making any such disclosure or as promptly as reasonably practicable under the circumstances and, with respect to press releases, as soon as reasonably practicable in all circumstances; except with respect to filing or notices that are required to be made, disclosed or filed by applicable law; provided, however, that the Parties shall, in good faith, consult with the other Parties and consider the other Parties’ reasonable requests for additions or modification to
33
such press releases and public documents. No Party or its advisors shall disclose to any person or entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Party), other than advisors to the Debtors, the principal amount or percentage of any holdings of Participating Claims held by any of the Commitment Creditors, in each case, without such Commitment Creditors’ prior written consent or public disclosure of such information by such Commitment Creditors, as applicable. Any public filing of this Agreement, with the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise shall provide Schedule II in redacted form only with respect to the amount of Participating Claims held by each Commitment Creditor, and, in the case of managed accounts, the specific name of managed accounts (provided that Schedule II may be filed in unredacted form with the Bankruptcy Court under seal). Nothing contained herein (i) shall prohibit any Party from compliance with applicable federal or non-U.S. securities law, including, without limitation, the filing of beneficial ownership reports required by Schedule 13D or (ii) shall be deemed to require any Party to provide to any other Party in advance of filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal or non-U.S. agency any disclosures required to comply with applicable federal or non-U.S. securities law.
Section 27. The Debtors’ Fiduciary Duties
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement, shall require the Debtors or the Debtors’ boards of directors (or comparable governing body), on the advice of legal counsel with respect to their Exercise of Fiduciary Obligation (defined below), to take any action or to refrain from taking any action with respect to this Agreement, to the extent taking or failing to take such action would result in violation of applicable law or its fiduciary obligations under applicable law, and any such action or inaction pursuant to such exercise of fiduciary duties shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement. To the extent any of the Debtors’ boards of directors (or comparable governing body) reasonably determines in good faith on the advice of legal counsel with respect to their Exercise of Fiduciary Obligation that the Debtors’ fiduciary obligations under applicable law require the Debtors to take any action or refrain from taking any action (each an “Exercise of Fiduciary Obligation”) with respect to the Restructuring Transactions or that such action or inaction would violate applicable law, including actions or inactions that would constitute a breach under this Agreement, the Debtors may terminate this Agreement without incurring any liability to any one or more of the Commitment Parties under this Agreement. In the event that the Debtors determine to terminate this Agreement as an Exercise of Fiduciary Obligation, the Debtors shall provide written notice of such Exercise of Fiduciary Obligation to each of the Commitment Parties not more than one (1) Business Day after such exercise (email to counsel being sufficient). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall create any additional fiduciary obligations on the part of the Debtors or any members, managers, or officers of the Debtors, in such respective capacities, that did not exist prior to the Agreement Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the Debtors acknowledges that its entry into this Agreement and the Restructuring Transactions is consistent with applicable law and its fiduciary duties as of the Agreement Effective Date.
34
Section 28. Error
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent counsel to the Debtors, counsel to the Commitment Creditors, counsel to the Eblen Group or respective counsel to the individual Backstop Shareholders identify by no later than December 10, 2021, any clear errors or material inconsistencies (y) with respect to the terms within the Term Sheets and (z) between the terms of the Term Sheets and this Agreement, the Restructuring Term Sheets or the Schedules, each Party hereto covenants and agrees that it will agree to any reasonable modifications to this Agreement, the Term Sheet or the Schedules to remedy such clear errors or material inconsistencies.
Section 29. Relationship Among Parties
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the duties and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be several, not joint, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a separate agreement with respect to each Backstop Shareholder and the Eblen Group it being acknowledged and agreed that each Backstop Shareholder and the Eblen Group is acting with respect to its separate and distinct interests; (ii) no Party shall have any responsibility by virtue of this Agreement for any trading by any other entity; (iii) no prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Parties shall in any way affect or negate this Agreement; (iv) the Parties hereto acknowledge that this Agreement does not constitute an agreement, arrangement, or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of any equity securities of the Debtors and the Parties do not constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor an “acuerdo de actuación conjunta" within the meaning of Article 98 of Chilean Law No. 18,045; and (v) none of the Parties shall have any fiduciary duty, any duty of trust or confidence in any form, or other duties or responsibilities in any kind or form to each other, the Debtors, or any of the Debtors’ other creditors or stakeholders, including as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated here. For the avoidance of doubt, the Commitment Creditors are not insiders of Company or any of its subsidiaries.
Section 30. Subsequent Approvals
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all obligations, commitments, representations, and warranties of each of the Backstop Shareholders, the Eblen Group and Lan Cargo S.A. under this Agreement, and all other terms of this Agreement that are applicable to each of the Backstop Shareholders, the Eblen Group and Lan Cargo S.A., as applicable, are subject to, and are conditioned upon, receipt by each of the Backstop Shareholders and the Eblen Group, respectively, of certain internal board approvals and Lan Cargo S.A. receiving certain approvals from its shareholders (the “Subsequent Approvals”), which in each case, each such party shall seek to obtain as promptly as reasonably practicable and by no later than the date upon which the Backstop Commitment Agreements are executed by the parties thereto or such later date as agreed to among each of (i) the Backstop Shareholders, the Eblen Group, or Lan Cargo S.A., as applicable, and (ii) the Debtors and the Requisite Commitment Creditors (with respect to each of the Subsequent Approvals, the “Subsequent Approvals Deadline"). Further, each of the other Parties expressly acknowledges and agrees that any action or inaction by any of the Backstop Shareholders, the Eblen Group and Lan Cargo S.A. resulting solely from having not obtained the Subsequent Approvals shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement. Promptly after obtaining the Subsequent Approvals, (i) each of the Backstop Shareholders and the Eblen Group agrees that respective counsel thereto shall notify counsel to the Debtors that the Subsequent Approvals with respect to the Backstop Shareholders and the Eblen Group (as
35
applicable) have been obtained and that the conditions imposed by this Section 30 with respect to the Backstop Shareholders and the Eblen Group (as applicable) have been satisfied and (ii) each of the Debtors agrees that Debtors’ counsel shall notify counsel to the other Parties that the Subsequent Approvals with respect to Lan Cargo S.A. have been obtained and that the conditions imposed by this Section 30 with respect to Lan Cargo S.A. have been satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, failure to obtain each of the Subsequent Approvals by the Subsequent Approvals Deadline shall constitute a Termination Event, and this Agreement shall be deemed terminated without any further action by any Party. Following receipt of the Subsequent Approvals by the occurrence of the Subsequent Approvals Deadline, this Section 30 shall have no force and effect with respect to any provision of this Agreement.
Section 31. Other Support Agreements
Until the Termination Date, no Party shall enter into any other restructuring support agreement related to a partial or total restructuring of the Debtors unless such support agreement is consistent in all material respects with the Restructuring Term Sheets and/or Approved Plan and is acceptable to the Debtors, the Requisite Commitment Creditors and the Requisite Backstop Shareholders.
