(b) On the Commencement Date, which shall occur not more than fifteen (15) Business Days following the mailing of the Pathfinder Letter, GenMar shall deliver to each Eligible GenMar Equity Interestholder and each Eligible Navig8 Equity Interestholder an Offer Participation Package offering each Eligible GenMar Equity Interestholder and each Eligible Navig8 Equity Interestholder the opportunity to subscribe for a Purchase Commitment (the “Purchase Offer”). The Purchase Offer may not be assigned or Transferred by any Eligible GenMar Equity Interestholder or Eligible Navig8 Equity Interestholder.
11
(c) The Offer Participation Package shall include, and any Eligible GenMar Equity Interestholder or Eligible Navig8 Equity Interestholder that elects to accept and participate in the Purchase Offer (each, a “Participating Interestholder”) shall execute and return to GenMar a joinder to this Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D which shall include the number of shares of Common Stock such Participating Interestholder desires to purchase. Each Participating Interestholder that is a 5% Holder shall execute and return to GenMar:
(i) a signature page to the Registration Rights Agreement pursuant to which such Participating Interestholder shall become a party thereto; and
(ii) a signature page to the Shareholders Agreement pursuant to which such Participating Interestholder shall become a party thereto.
(d) Each Eligible GenMar Equity Interestholder or Eligible Navig8 Equity Interestholder may only elect to participate in the Purchase Offer during the period (the “Offering Period”) beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on the time and date (the “Offering Expiration Time”) that is the later of:
(i) (i) 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date that is the earlier of (x) eight (8) Business Days after the Commencement Date and (y) two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date; and
(ii) such other time and date as may be determined by GenMar, on the one hand, and the Requisite Initial Commitment Parties, on the other hand,
by returning to GenMar before the Offering Expiration Time a duly executed Offer Participation Package electing to participate in the Purchase Offer.
(e) Once an Eligible GenMar Equity Interestholder or Eligible Navig8 Equity Interestholder validly elects to participate in the Purchase Offer by returning the Offer Participation Package in accordance with Section 2.1(c)-(d), such participating Eligible GenMar Equity Interestholder or Eligible Navig8 Equity Interestholder shall be deemed a Commitment Party under this Agreement, and such election may not be revoked.
(f) The Purchase Offer shall provide that each Participating Interestholder that is an Eligible GenMar Equity Interestholder may commit to fund a Purchase Commitment in an amount less than or equal to such Participating Interestholder’s Pro Rata Commitment Amount by indicating such amount on the executed form of joinder to this Agreement. Each Participating Interestholder may indicate on its executed form of joinder to this Agreement a desire to fund a Purchase Commitment in excess of such Participating Interestholder’s Pro Rata Commitment Amount (such excess, the “Oversubscription Amount”). Each Participating Interestholder whose duly executed joinder indicates a commitment to fund a Purchase Commitment in an amount less than or equal to such Participating Interestholder’s Pro Rata Commitment Amount shall be obligated to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the amount of such commitment divided by the Exercise Price. Each Participating Interestholder whose duly executed joinder indicates a commitment to fund an Oversubscription Amount shall be obligated to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock equal to (i) such Participating Interestholder’s Pro Rata
12
Commitment Amount plus such Participating Interestholder’s Oversubscription Allocation divided by (ii) the Exercise Price provided that any Participating Interestholder’s Oversubscription Allocation shall be subject to the consent of each of GenMar and Navig8, which consents (i) may take into account such Participating Interestholder’s creditworthiness and (ii) shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned.
(g) The Purchase Commitment of each Initial Commitment Party whose Initial Commitment Percentage is greater than such Initial Commitment Party’s Pro Rata Ownership Interest (such amount, an “Initial Commitment Party Oversubscription”) shall be reduced as follows (but, for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Initial Commitment Party’s Initial Purchase Commitment be reduced below zero):
(i) the Purchase Commitment of each Initial GenMar Commitment Party whose Initial Commitment Percentage is greater than such Initial GenMar Commitment Party’s Pro Rata Ownership Interest shall be reduced by an amount equal to (x) the aggregate Purchase Commitments of the participating Eligible GenMar Equity Interestholders multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Initial Commitment Party’s Oversubscription and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Initial Commitment Party Oversubscriptions of all Initial GenMar Commitment Parties; and
(ii) the Purchase Commitment of each Initial Navig8 Commitment Party whose Initial Commitment Percentage is greater than such Initial Navig8 Commitment Party’s Pro Rata Ownership Interest shall be reduced by an amount equal to (x) the aggregate Purchase Commitments of the participating Eligible Navig8 Equity Interestholders multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is such Initial Commitment Party’s Oversubscription and the denominator of which is the aggregate amount of Initial Commitment Party Oversubscriptions of all Initial Navig8 Commitment Parties,
provided, that if, after calculating the reductions described in subsections (i) and (ii) above, the Oversubscription Amount of any Eligible GenMar Equity Interestholder or any Eligible Navig8 Equity Interestholder is unsatisfied, Gener8 shall promptly deliver a written notice (an “Oversubscription Notice”) to all Initial GenMar Commitment Parties or Initial Navig8 Commitment Parties (as applicable) of the aggregate amount of such unsatisfied Commitment Amounts and offer the Initial GenMar Commitment Parties or the Initial Navig8 Commitment Parties (as applicable) the option to further reduce their respective Purchase Commitments. Each Initial Commitment Party so notified shall, no later than five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Oversubscription Notice (“Minimum Commitment Deadline Date”), deliver a notice to GenMar or Gener8, as applicable, (“Minimum Commitment Notice”) indicating (i) whether such Initial Commitment Party agrees to reduce its Purchase Commitment and (ii) if such Initial Commitment Party agrees to such further reduction, the maximum reduction in the amount of its Purchase Commitment to which it so agrees (the “Maximum Reduction Amount”). The amount of any Initial Commitment Party’s Purchase Commitment to which such Initial Commitment Party does not agree to further reduce is referred to as the “Minimum Commitment.” Upon receipt by GenMar of a Minimum Commitment Notice from an Initial Commitment Party agreeing to further reduce its Purchase Commitment, such Initial Commitment Party’s Purchase Commitment shall
13
be reduced by an amount equal to (i) if such Initial Commitment Party is an Initial GenMar Commitment Party the aggregate Oversubscription Amount of all Eligible GenMar Equity Interestholders multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is such Initial GenMar Commitment Party’s Maximum Reduction Amount and the denominator of which is the aggregate Maximum Reduction Amounts of all Initial GenMar Commitment Parties and (ii) if such Initial Commitment Party is an Initial Navig8 Commitment Party the aggregate Oversubscription Amount of all Eligible Navig8 Equity Interestholders multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is such Initial Navig8 Commitment Party’s Maximum Reduction Amount and the denominator of which is the aggregate Maximum Reduction Amounts of all Initial Navig8 Commitment Parties, but in no event shall any Initial Commitment Party’s Purchase Commitment be reduced to an amount less than its Minimum Commitment. In the event GenMar does not receive a Minimum Commitment Notice from an Initial Commitment Party prior to the Minimum Commitment Deadline Date, or an Initial Commitment Party’s Minimum Notice indicates that such Initial Commitment Party elects not to agree to reduce its Purchase Commitment, such Initial Commitment Party’s Purchase Commitment shall be its Threshold Amount.
(h) GenMar shall revise Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 hereto promptly after the Offering Expiration Time or the Minimum Commitment Deadline Date (if applicable) as necessary to reflect the participation of any Participating Interestholders and any change to any Initial Commitment Party’s information, including in accordance with clauses (f) or (g) above, and such revised Schedule 1 and Schedule 2 shall be deemed definitive and binding upon the Parties absent manifest error.
(i) GenMar shall promptly after the Offering Expiration Time or the Minimum Commitment Deadline Date (if applicable) notify each Commitment Party of its Purchase Commitment and Commitment Percentage.
Section 2.2 The Purchase Commitment.
(a) On the basis of the representations and warranties set forth herein, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof, the Board may request in writing on fifteen (15) Business Days’ notice (a “Notice of Exercise”) that each Commitment Party, severally and not jointly, subscribe for and purchase a number of shares of Common Stock less than or equal to, for each Commitment Party (a) the number of shares of each Commitment Party’s outstanding Purchase Commitment, as set forth on Schedule 1, divided by (b) the Exercise Price (the aggregate number of shares in all Notices of Exercise with respect to each Commitment Party, its “Purchase Shares” and such obligation, its “Purchase Commitment”). For the avoidance of doubt, the Purchase Commitment of each Commitment Party shall be determined by the Board by reference to each Commitment Party’s Commitment Percentage. The Notice of Exercise shall include a certification from Gener8 as to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article VI. The Board may deliver a Notice of Exercise at any time prior to the expiration of the Purchase Commitment Term or the Purchase Commitment Term Extension for the subscription and purchase of shares of Common Stock after the expiration of the Purchase Commitment Term or the Purchase Commitment Term Extension, as applicable, and the obligations of the Commitment Parties shall not expire or terminate until the later of (i) the expiration of the Purchase Commitment Term or the Purchase Commitment Term Extension and (ii) the consummation of the purchase and sale of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.2(a).
14
(b) The Board, in its sole discretion, may, from time to time, request each Commitment Party to purchase its respective Purchase Shares in one, two or three tranches, which election shall be made and indicated by the Board in each Notice of Exercise requesting such purchase (such number of shares to be purchased with respect to each Commitment Party, its “Exercised Purchase Shares”).
(c) Gener8 agrees to sell and issue to each Commitment Party such Exercised Purchase Shares and each Commitment Party agrees, severally and not jointly, to subscribe for and purchase such Exercised Purchase Shares on the Purchase Payment Date designated in the corresponding Notice of Exercise.
(d) On any Purchase Payment Date:
(i) each Commitment Party shall deposit an amount of cash equal to (x) its Exercised Purchase Shares multiplied by (y) the Exercise Price, into an account to be designated by the Board in the corresponding Notice of Exercise; and, promptly following receipt of such cash payment;
(ii) Gener8 shall deliver to each Commitment Party its Exercised Purchase Shares in the form of newly-issued shares of fully paid and non-assessable Common Stock (which shall be subject to the restrictions set forth herein).
Section 2.3 Purchase Commitment Term. Each Purchase Commitment shall commence on the Closing Date and terminate on the date that is six (6) months from the Closing Date (the “Purchase Commitment Term”) or the date of a Qualified IPO, whichever is earlier. The Board shall have the option of extending the Purchase Commitment Term for one (1) additional 6-month period (such additional 6-month period, the “Purchase Commitment Term Extension”) by delivering a Purchase Commitment Extension Notice to each Commitment Party no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Purchase Commitment Term, subject to the payment of the Additional Purchase Premium. Upon payment of the Additional Purchase Premium, the Board shall promptly give written notice of such Purchase Commitment Term Extension to each Commitment Party.
Section 2.4 Purchase Premium. Subject to Section 2.5 hereof, as consideration for the right to sell the Purchase Shares to the Commitment Parties and the other agreements of the Commitment Parties in this Agreement as of the date hereof, Gener8 shall, subject to Section 2.8(b), at the Closing pay or cause to be paid to each Commitment Party or its designee (provided that any such designee demonstrates, and Gener8, in its sole discretion, has verified that it is “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) a nonrefundable aggregate put premium equal to 5% of the shares of Common Stock such Commitment Party is obligated to purchase pursuant to Section 2.1 in the form of shares of fully paid, non-assessable Common Stock (the “Purchase Premium”). In the event of a Purchase Commitment Term Extension, Gener8 shall, subject to Section 2.8(d), within fifteen (15) days of delivery of the Purchase Commitment Extension Notice pay or cause to be paid to each Commitment Party or its designee (provided that any such designee demonstrates , and Gener8, in its sole discretion, has verified that it is “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act or a “qualified institutional
15
buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) a nonrefundable put premium equal to 7.5% of the shares of Common Stock such Commitment Party remains obligated to purchase as of the date of the delivery of such shares of Common Stock payable in the form of shares of fully paid, non-assessable Common Stock (the “Additional Purchase Premium”). The provisions for the payment of the Purchase Premium are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions each Commitment Party would not have entered into this Agreement.
Section 2.5 Payment of Purchase Premium. The Purchase Premium and the Additional Purchase Premium, if applicable, shall be paid by Gener8 to each Commitment Party as set forth in Section 2.4. Gener8 shall retain a security interest in the Common Stock issued in payment of the Purchase Premium and any Additional Purchase Premium until the termination of the corresponding Purchase Commitment as provided in Article VIII, and Gener8 may cancel any such Common Stock issued to a Commitment Party that becomes a Defaulting Commitment Party, as further described in Section 2.8(b). The Common Stock issued in payment of the Purchase Premium and any Additional Purchase Premium may not be Transferred, in whole or in part, prior to the full exercise or termination of a Commitment Party’s Purchase Commitment in accordance with this Agreement. The Purchase Premium and any Additional Purchase Premium shall not be paid to any Commitment Party, and none of the Commitment Parties shall have any obligation to fund its respective Purchase Commitment, in the event that the Closing does not occur.
Section 2.6 IPO Rights of the Commitment Parties. If, prior to the expiration of the Purchase Commitment Term or, in the event Gener8 has elected to extend the Purchase Commitment Term pursuant to Section 2.3, the Purchase Commitment Term Extension, the Purchase Commitment of any Commitment Party has not been exercised in full at the time of the first underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock of Gener8 (the “IPO”), and the price per share to the public in the IPO (the “Public Price”) is less than the Exercise Price, each Commitment Party shall be entitled to purchase shares of Common Stock directly from Gener8 in a private placement transaction at a price per share equal to the Public Price as promptly as practicable after the pricing of the IPO in such amount as will result in an aggregate purchase price equal to the amount of its then remaining unexercised Purchase Commitment; provided that such Commitment Party confirms to Gener8 that the information provided in its Pathfinder Letter and Offer Participation Package in respect of its status as an “accredited investor” or “qualified institutional buyer” remains true and correct as of the time of such purchase and it is able to make customary private placement representations and covenants at the time of purchase, provided further that upon Gener8’s request such Commitment Party shall provide information, including but not limited to the information referenced in Rule 506(c)(2)(ii) of Regulation D under the Securities Act, sufficient for Gener8 to determine in its reasonable discretion that the delivery of shares of Common Stock to such Commitment Party pursuant to this Section 2.6 complies with applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, no underwriter fee shall be paid by any Commitment Party on purchases of Common Stock pursuant to this Section 2.6. Gener8 and the Requisite Initial Commitment Parties shall mutually determine the procedures pursuant to which the rights of the Commitment Parties may be exercised in accordance with this Section 2.6. The Requisite Initial Commitment Parties will have the sole and exclusive right to act on behalf of the Commitment Parties with respect to the amendment, waiver or cancellation of any rights granted to the Commitment Parties pursuant to this Section 2.6, and their determinations will be binding upon all Commitment Parties; provided, that no Commitment Party will be treated in a materially
16
adverse and disproportionate manner from any other Commitment Party (except as required by law).
Section 2.7 Certain Adjustments.
(a) In the event of any stock or unit split, spin-off, share or unit combination, reclassification, change of the legal form, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization, merger (other than the Merger), payment of a dividend or distribution (other than a cash dividend or distribution paid as part of a regular dividend or distribution program) or other similar transaction or occurrence which affects the equity securities of Gener8 or any of its Material Operating Subsidiaries or the value thereof, the Board shall in good faith adjust the number and kind of equity interests subject to the Purchase Commitments and/or the Exercise Price, as it deems reasonably necessary to address, on an equitable basis and subject to applicable Law and the effect of the applicable event on the Purchase Commitment, provided that (i) the aggregate amount of the unexercised Purchase Commitments of all Commitment Parties remains the same and (ii) notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, no adjustments set forth in this Section 2.7 shall apply to adjust the number and kind of equity interests subject to the Purchase Commitments and/or the Exercise Price with respect to any Common Stock issued prior to the event giving rise to such adjustment.
(b) In the event that Gener8 issues any (i) common stock or (ii) any capital stock that meets the definition of “Qualified Preferred Stock” in the GenMar Senior Secured Credit Facilities in effect as of the date hereof or any similar definition in future credit facilities of GenMar (other than in a Qualified IPO), any gross proceeds received from any such issuances of common stock or capital stock exceeding, individually or in the aggregate with all prior such issuances, seventy-five million dollars ($75,000,000) will reduce the aggregate outstanding unexercised Purchase Commitments dollar for dollar allocated pro rata among each Purchase Commitment, provided that no Purchase Commitment shall be reduced below zero.
(c) After the date hereof, if GenMar or Gener8 shall issue or sell any shares of Common Stock (as actually issued or, pursuant to Section 2.7(e) below, deemed to be issued) for a consideration per share less than the Exercise Price, then immediately upon such issue or sale the Exercise Price shall be reduced to a price (calculated to the nearest cent) determined by multiplying such prior Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of “Calculated Securities” (defined below) outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus the number of shares of Common Stock which the aggregate consideration received by GenMar or Gener8 for the total number of shares of Common Stock so issued or sold would purchase at such prior Exercise Price, and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Calculated Securities outstanding immediately prior to such issue or sale plus the number of shares of Common Stock so issued or sold, provided that no adjustment to the Exercise Price with respect to any particular issuance of Common Stock shall be made pursuant to this Section 2.7(c) to the extent an adjustment to the Exercise Price has been made pursuant to Section 2.7(a) with respect to such issuance of Common Stock. “Calculated Securities” means (i) all shares of Common Stock actually outstanding; and (ii) all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the then unexercised Purchase Commitments (without giving effect to any adjustments to the Exercise Price of any Purchase Commitment as a result of such issuance).
17
(d) For the purposes of Section 2.7(c) above, none of the following issuances shall be considered the issuance or sale of Common Stock:
(i) the issuance of Common Stock upon the conversion of any then-outstanding Convertible Securities;
(ii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock (or options to purchase shares of Common Stock) to employees, directors or consultants of Gener8 under any stock plan set forth on Section 5.2(b) of the Parent Disclosure Schedules or any stock plan approved by the Board following the Closing (not including the reissuance of shares repurchased by Gener8 from employees or consultants of Gener8);
(iii) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities to lenders, financial institutions, equipment lessors, or real estate lessors to Gener8 in connection with a bona fide borrowing or leasing transaction approved by the Board; and
(iv) the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon the conversion of any securities described in Section 2.7(b).
(e) For the purposes of Section 2.7(c) above, the following subclauses (i) through (iii), inclusive, shall also be applicable:
(i) In case at any time GenMar or Gener8 shall grant any rights to subscribe for, or any rights or options to purchase, Convertible Securities, whether or not such rights or options or the right to convert, exercise or exchange any such Convertible Securities are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Convertible Securities (determined by dividing (x) the total amount, if any, received or receivable by GenMar or Gener8 as consideration for the granting of such rights or options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration payable to GenMar or Gener8 upon the exercise of such rights or options, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable upon the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities and upon the conversion, exercise or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon the conversion or exchange of all such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options) shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of the granting of such rights or options, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options or upon conversion or exchange of the total maximum amount of such Convertible Securities issuable upon the exercise of such rights or options shall (as of the date of granting of such rights or options) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued for such price per share.
(ii) In case at any time GenMar or Gener8 shall issue or sell any Convertible Securities, whether or not the rights to exchange or convert thereunder are immediately exercisable, and the price per share for which Common Stock is issuable upon such
18
conversion or exchange (determined by dividing (x) the total amount received or receivable by GenMar or Gener8 as consideration for the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities, plus the minimum aggregate amount of additional consideration, if any, payable to GenMar or Gener8 upon the conversion or exchange thereof, by (y) the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of all such Convertible Securities) shall be less than the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to the time of such issue or sale, then the total maximum number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion or exchange of such Convertible Securities shall (as of the date of the issue or sale of such Convertible Securities) be deemed to be outstanding and to have been issued for such price per share, provided that if any such issue or sale of such Convertible Securities is made upon exercise of any rights to subscribe for or rights or options to purchase or any option to purchase any such Convertible Securities for which adjustments of the Exercise Price have been or are to be made pursuant to other provisions of this Section 2.7(e), no further adjustment of the Exercise Price shall be made by reason of such issue or sale.
(iii) In case at any time any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities or any rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock, or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for cash, the consideration received therefor shall be deemed to be the amount actually received by GenMar or Gener8 therefor. In case any shares of Common Stock or Convertible Securities or any rights or options to purchase any such Common Stock or Convertible Securities shall be issued or sold for a consideration other than cash, the amount of the consideration other than cash received by GenMar or Gener8 shall be deemed to be the fair value of such consideration actually received by GenMar or Gener8 in connection therewith as determined by the board of directors.
Section 2.8 Commitment Party Default.
(a) Upon the occurrence of a Commitment Party Default, each Commitment Party (other than any Defaulting Commitment Party) shall have the right, but shall not be obligated to, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice from Gener8 to each other Commitment Party of such Commitment Party Default (which notice shall be given promptly following the occurrence of such Commitment Party Default) (such five Business Day period, the “Commitment Party Replacement Period”) to make arrangements to purchase all or any portion of the Available Securities (such purchase, a “Commitment Party Replacement”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in such amounts based upon the applicable Pro Rata Ownership Interest of any such Commitment Parties interested in purchasing Available Securities, or as may otherwise be agreed upon by all of the Commitment Parties electing to purchase all or any portion of the Available Securities (such electing Commitment Parties, each a “Replacing Commitment Party” and together, the “Replacing Commitment Parties”). Any such Available Securities purchased by a Commitment Party Replacement shall be included in the determination of the Purchase Commitment and Commitment Percentage of such Commitment Party Replacement for all purposes hereunder. If a Commitment Party Default occurs, the Purchase Payment Date shall be extended to the extent necessary to allow for (A) the Commitment Party Replacement to be completed within the
19
Commitment Party Replacement Period or (B) the consummation of a Cover Transaction within the Cover Transaction Period.
(b) If a Commitment Party is or becomes a Defaulting Commitment Party it shall not be entitled to receive any Purchase Premium or Additional Purchase Premium payable hereunder and any Common Stock previously issued to such Defaulting Commitment Party in payment of any Purchase Premium or Additional Purchase Premium may be cancelled in whole or in part at the sole discretion of the Board.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the non-defaulting Commitment Parties do not elect to subscribe for all of the Available Securities pursuant to Section 2.8(a) prior to the expiration of the Commitment Party Replacement Period, Gener8 shall have an additional fifteen (15) Business Days following the expiration of the Commitment Party Replacement Period (such period, the “Cover Transaction Period”) to consummate a Cover Transaction.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Commitment Party Replacement has not been consummated upon expiration of the Commitment Party Replacement Period and a Cover Transaction has not been consummated prior to the expiration of the Cover Transaction Period, this Agreement may be terminated by (i) Gener8 by written notice to each Commitment Party or (ii) Commitment Parties (other than any Defaulting Commitment Parties) representing more than three-quarters (3/4) of the aggregate Commitment Percentages represented by all of the Commitment Parties (other than any Defaulting Commitment Parties) by written notice to Gener8.
(e) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 8.2, but subject to Section 9.10, no provision of this Agreement shall relieve any Defaulting Commitment Party from liability hereunder in connection with such Defaulting Commitment Party’s Commitment Party Default, and Gener8 shall have available to it all rights and remedies under law or equity, including specific performance.
