Financing Matters If any Loan Party becomes subject to any Insolvency Proceeding at any time prior to the First Priority Obligations Payment Date, and if the First Priority Representative or the other First Priority Secured Parties desire to consent (or not object) to the use of cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code or to provide financing to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code or to consent (or not object) to the provision of such financing to any Loan Party by any third party (any such financing, “DIP Financing”), then the Second Priority Representative agrees, on behalf of itself and the other Second Priority Secured Parties, that each Second Priority Secured Party (a) will be deemed to have consented to, will raise no objection to, nor support any other Person objecting to, the use of such cash collateral or to such DIP Financing, (b) will not request or accept adequate protection or any other relief in connection with the use of such cash collateral or such DIP Financing except as set forth in Section 5.4 below, (c) will subordinate (and will be deemed hereunder to have subordinated) the Second Priority Liens on any Common Collateral (i) to such DIP Financing on the same terms as the First Priority Liens are subordinated thereto (and such subordination will not alter in any manner the terms of this Agreement), (ii) to any adequate protection provided to the First Priority Secured Parties and (iii) to any “carve-out” agreed to by the First Priority Representative or the other First Priority Secured Parties, and (d) agrees that notice received two calendar days prior to the entry of an order approving such usage of cash collateral or approving such financing shall be adequate notice so long as (A) the Second Priority Representative retains its Lien on the Common Collateral to secure the Second Priority Obligations (in each case, including proceeds thereof arising after the commencement of the case under the Bankruptcy Code) and (B) all Liens on Common Collateral securing any such DIP Financing shall be senior to or on a parity with the Liens of the First Priority Representative and the First Priority Creditors on Common Collateral securing the First Priority Obligations.
Refinancing Facilities (a) Upon written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may from time to time elect to refinance any Class of Term Loans or Revolving Credit Commitments, in whole or in part, with one or more new term loan facilities (each, a “Refinancing Term Facility”) or new revolving credit facilities (each, a “Refinancing Revolving Credit Facility”; the Refinancing Term Facilities and the Refinancing Revolving Credit Facilities are collectively referred to as “Refinancing Facilities”), respectively, under this Agreement with the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and the institutions providing such Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Revolving Credit Facility or, in the case of any series of Term Loans, with one or more series of senior unsecured notes or term loans or senior secured first lien notes or term loans or senior secured junior lien (as compared to the Liens securing the Secured Obligations) term loans, in each case, if secured, that will be secured by Liens on the Collateral on a pari passu basis or junior priority basis (as applicable) with the Liens on Collateral securing the Secured Obligations and will be subject to customary intercreditor arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (any such notes or loans, “Refinancing Equivalent Debt”); provided that (i) except with respect to customary bridge loans, any Refinancing Term Facility or Refinancing Equivalent Debt does not mature, or have a weighted average life to maturity, earlier than the final maturity, or the weighted average life, of the Class of Term Loans or Incremental Term Loans being refinanced, (ii) any Refinancing Revolving Credit Facility does not mature prior to the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Commitments being refinanced, (iii) the other terms and conditions of such Refinancing Term Facility, Refinancing Revolving Credit Facility or Refinancing Equivalent Debt (excluding pricing and optional prepayment or redemption terms) are (taken as a whole) no more favorable to the lenders or investors, as applicable, providing such Refinancing Term Facility, Refinancing Revolving Credit Facility or Refinancing Equivalent Debt, as applicable, than those applicable to the Term Loans, Incremental Term Loans or the Revolving Credit Commitments being refinanced, (iv) there shall be no borrower, issuer and/or guarantor under any Refinancing Equivalent Debt other than the Borrower and/or the Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, (v) the proceeds of any Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Equivalent Debt shall be applied, substantially simultaneously with the incurrence thereof, to the prepayment of outstanding Loans (and, in the case of any Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Equivalent Debt the proceeds of which are used to refinance the Revolving Credit Commitments, to the pro rata commitment reduction) under the facility being refinanced, and (vi) to the extent secured, any such Refinancing Facility or Refinancing Equivalent Debt shall not be secured by any lien on any asset that does not also secure the Facilities. Each such notice shall specify the date on which the Borrower proposes that the Refinancing Facility shall be made or the Refinancing Equivalent Debt shall be issued, which shall be a date not less than three (3) Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent.
Financing Plan The Company shall have a Financing Plan prepared which shall include such provisions as the Company may determine consistent with its commercial requirements and Good Industry Practice. The Company shall be responsible for raising all of the financing necessary to implement the Financing Plan for the Project.
Financing Arrangements (a) The Owner will obtain the Project Loan which shall be sufficient, together with the Owner's equity contributions, to pay the full amount of the costs to construct the Project in accordance with the development budget. The Owner and the Developer also contemplate that the Property and the Project, together with all fixtures, furnishing, equipment, and articles of personal property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Owner which are or may be attached to or used in connection with the Property or the Project, together with any and all replacements thereto and substitutions therefor, and all proceeds thereof; and all present and future rents, issues, leases, and profits of the Property and the Project will serve as security for the payment obligations to any lenders relating to the Project Loan or otherwise, and that the Owner will be the principal obligor for the repayment of all financial obligations thereunder after the transfer of title to the Owner. The Owner therefore, agrees to execute and deliver all commitments, promissory notes, mortgages, collateral assignments, documents, certificates, affidavits, and other writings required to be executed by any lender in connection with such financing.
Financing Assistance O&M Contractor shall cooperate with Owner in connection with Owner’s efforts to obtain and maintain any Financing. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, O&M Contractor: (a) shall execute such typical documents as an operations and maintenance contractor executes in a project finance transaction or as Owner reasonably requests in connection with obtaining and maintaining any Financing, including a consent to assignment and any certifications and opinions required with respect to the Financing in form and substance reasonably acceptable to O&M Contractor, Owner and the Project Lender; (b) shall deliver to Owner and the Project Lender information customarily provided in connection with a project financing in format and content mutually acceptable to the Parties regarding the financial capability of O&M Contractor and shall facilitate reasonable inspections of the Site; (c) shall, at Owner’s reasonable request, attend and participate in presentations to actual and potential Project Lenders; (d) hereby authorizes Owner to (i) provide this Agreement to potential Project Lenders (subject to Section 17.5), and (ii) include a description of the material provisions of this Agreement in any offering circular or document required for the Financing and/or, if the Financing must be registered or otherwise disclosed in accordance with Applicable Law, that Owner may, after consultation with O&M Contractor, file this Agreement as an exhibit to such registration statement or other disclosure; (e) at Owner’s request, shall reasonably cooperate with the independent engineer and any rating agencies or credit enhancement entities associated with a Financing; (f) at Owner’s request, shall reasonably cooperate in connection with tax-exempt Financing or any Financing or other arrangements effected to reduce taxes on the Project or the work, which cooperation shall not include, or be considered or deemed to be, tax advice or planning; and (g) shall provide Owner and the Project Lenders with legal opinions of counsel regarding the execution, delivery and validity of this Agreement, absence of conflicts, and the legal status of O&M Contractor, as Owner or any Project Lender may reasonably request in connection with obtaining and maintaining the Financing, provided that Owner shall reimburse O&M Contractor for any third-party expense reasonably incurred in providing such opinions.
Refinancing Substantially simultaneously with the funding of the Initial Term Loans, the Closing Date Refinancing shall be consummated.

From and after the commencement of the Marketing Period through and including the Closing Date, Sellers shall use reasonable best efforts to periodically update any Required Information provided to Acquiror if failure to do so would result in the Marketing Period to cease to be deemed to have commenced. Acquiror shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Sellers and their respective Subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers, employees and Representatives, from and against any liability or obligation to providers of the Debt Financing in connection with the Debt Financing and any information provided in connection therewith other than historical financial information provided by the Sellers, and the Acquiror Guaranty shall guaranty the obligations of Acquiror pursuant to this Section 5.6, in each case, other than to the extent any of the foregoing arises from the willful misconduct of, or material breach of this Agreement by, (x) any Seller or (y) any of their respective Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees and Representatives (in each case, only to the extent the party seeking indemnity under this sentence has committed such willful misconduct or material breach). Further, Sellers, on behalf of themselves and their Affiliates, hereby consent to the reasonable and customary use of their and their Affiliates’ trademarks, service marks or logos in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such trademarks, service marks or logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage Sellers or any of their Affiliates or the reputation or goodwill of Sellers or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective Intellectual Property rights and provided that in each instance the use of their and their Affiliates’ trademarks, service marks or logos is first submitted to and approved in writing by Sellers (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and any Action or Losses related to such use shall be the responsibility of Acquiror. Acquiror shall promptly upon Sellers’ request reimburse Sellers and their respective Subsidiaries for all reasonable and documented or invoiced out-of-pocket costs and expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by Sellers or their respective Subsidiaries in connection with such cooperation pursuant to this Section 5.6 and, to the extent Acquiror does not reimburse Sellers or the applicable Subsidiary for any such cost or expense on or prior to the date of the Closing Date Statement, the Companies shall be deemed to have a current asset on the Closing Date Statement in the amount of such unreimbursed costs and expenses. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the condition set forth in Section 8.2(b), as it applies to Sellers’ obligations under this Section 5.6, shall be deemed satisfied unless Sellers have knowingly and willfully materially breached their obligations under this Section 5.6. If Sellers at any point believe that they have delivered the Required Information in accordance with this Section 5.6, they may deliver to Acquiror a written notice to such effect, in which case Sellers shall be deemed to have delivered the Required Information unless Acquiror shall provide to Sellers within two (2) Business Days a written notice describing in reasonable detail what information that constitutes Required Information Sellers have not delivered. In furtherance of the foregoing, Acquiror shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Lenders to identify in writing and in reasonable detail all financial data expected to constitute Required Information (other than the financial statements described herein) on or before October 3, 2012 and shall provide Sellers such information as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof.
Financing (a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts, taking into account, with respect to the Debt Financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters, the expected timing of the Trigger Date, the Expiration Dates, the Marketing Period and, with respect of the New NewPage Term Loan Facility, the provisions of Section 5.20(d), in respect of each of the facilities contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letters, to take or cause to be taken, all actions to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or customary to arrange and obtain the Debt Financing, on the terms and conditions (including the flex provisions) described in the Debt Commitment Letters and any Fee Letter, to the extent applicable, including using reasonable best efforts (i) to maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letters and the Existing Credit Agreement Amendments in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions thereof until the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) to negotiate and/or enter into the Definitive Debt Financing Documents on or prior to the expiration of the applicable Debt Commitment Letter(s) (each such date, an “Expiration Date”) on the terms specifically set forth in the term sheets and the other exhibits attached to the Debt Commitment Letters (after giving effect to the “market flex” in the Fee Letters), the proviso in the second to last sentence of Section 15 of the Debt Commitment Letters and any upfront, arrangement or agency fees specifically set forth in the Fee Letters, or with the prior written consent of the Company, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, on terms that are in the good faith judgment of Parent in the aggregate not materially less favorable to each of Parent and the Company than the terms specifically set forth in the term sheets and other exhibits attached to the Debt Commitment Letters (after giving effect to the “market flex” in the Fee Letters), the proviso in the second to last sentence of Section 15 of the Debt Commitment Letters and any upfront, arrangement or agency fees specifically set forth in the Fee Letters, (iii) to satisfy (or if deemed reasonably advisable by Parent, obtain the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions applicable to Parent in the Debt Financing that are within its control (other than any condition where the failure to be so satisfied is a direct result of the Company’s failure to furnish the information required under this Section 5.12) as set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters and the Existing Credit Agreement Amendments, and to comply with all of its material obligations pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letters and the Existing Credit Agreement Amendments, (iv) to cause the funding of the Debt Financing required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (v) to exercise any rights Parent may have under the Debt Commitment Letters to extend the Expiration Dates in accordance with the terms of the Debt Commitment Letters and to negotiate and agree with the Lenders to further extend such Expiration Dates beyond the commitment periods provided for therein (to the extent specified in Section 5.20(d)), and (vi) to enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letters and/or the Existing Credit Agreement Amendments, including by pursuing litigation against the lenders in good faith; provided, however, solely with respect to this clause (vi), that the Trigger Date shall have occurred and all of the conditions to the Lenders’ obligations under the Debt Commitment Letters to the funding of the New NewPage Term Loan Facility or the New NewPage ABL Facility, as applicable, have been satisfied or waived.
Pre-financing Pre-financing is intended to provide the beneficiary with a float. Where required by the provisions of Article I.4 on pre-financing, the beneficiary shall furnish a financial guarantee from a bank or an approved financial institution established in one of the Member States of the European Union. The guarantor shall stand as first call guarantor and shall not require the Commission to have recourse against the principal debtor (the beneficiary). The financial guarantee shall remain in force until final payments by the Commission match the proportion of the total grant accounted for by pre-financing. The Commission undertakes to release the guarantee within 30 days following that date.
Amendments to Existing Credit Agreement Effective on (and subject to the occurrence of) the Effective Date, the Existing Credit Agreement is hereby amended in accordance with this Part II. Except as so amended, the Existing Credit Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
