Common use of Exit Charge Clause in Contracts

Exit Charge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Facility Documents, at the time any of the Loans are paid, repaid, redeemed, reduced or prepaid (whether before, at the time of or after the Maturity Date or any acceleration, bankruptcy or otherwise and whether in cash or in the form of Conversion Shares in connection with a Forced Conversion, Major Transaction Conversion or any other conversion under any of the Convertible Notes), the Borrower shall pay to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of a non-refundable exit fee (the “Exit Charge”) equal to 2.00% of the amount of Loans so paid, repaid, redeemed, reduced or prepaid. The Exit Charge is an Obligation, is fully earned on the Initial Convertible Loan Disbursement Date and shall be due and payable in cash upon each such payment, repayment, redemption or prepayment of the applicable Loans. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Lenders have foregone receiving additional compensation, yield enhancement and pricing on the Initial Convertible Loan Disbursement Date in return for the Parties’ agreeing to the Exit Charge. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the Agent and the Lenders would not have entered into this Agreement, and the Lenders would not have provided the Loans without the Loan Parties’ agreeing to pay the Exit Charge in the aforementioned instances. The Parties also acknowledge and agree that the Exit Charge set forth in this Section 2.8(b) is not intended to act as a penalty or to punish the Borrower or any other Loan Party for any such payment, repayment, redemption, prepayment or termination.
