This Agreement and the obligations hereunder shall automatically and immediately terminate if, following the delivery of any notice by the Supporting Lenders pursuant to Section 9.1(b), the Company or any other party-in-interest asserts that the termination of this Agreement or the delivery of such notice violates the automatic stay imposed in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases.

(d) Company Termination. This Agreement and the obligations, hereunder may be terminated by the Company upon three (3) Business Days advance written notice thereof to the Supporting Lenders (or such other notice period as specifically set forth below) upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each, a “Company Termination Event”) unless (i) to the extent curable, such Company Termination Event has been cured by the applicable Supporting Lenders during such three (3) Business Day notice period (or such other applicable notice period as specifically set forth below) or (ii) such Company Termination Event is waived in accordance with Section 10.14:

(i) a breach of any of the covenants or agreements or any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of the Supporting Lenders which breach, either individually or in the aggregate with other breaches by the Supporting Lenders, would result in, if occurring or continuing on the Effective Date, the failure of the conditions set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b), as the case may be, and such breach is not curable or, if such breach is susceptible to cure, such breach remains uncured for a period of twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of notice thereof (provided that the Company is not then in material breach of any of the covenants, agreements, representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement on the part of the Company);

(ii) any court of competent jurisdiction or governmental authority, including any regulatory authority, shall have entered a final, non-appealable judgment or order declaring the Restructuring, this Agreement, or any material portion hereof to be unenforceable or illegal or enjoining the consummation of a material portion of the Restructuring and such judgment or order is not stayed, dismissed, vacated or modified within twenty-five (25) calendar days following notice thereof to the Supporting Lenders by the Company; provided, however, that in the case of a stay, upon such judgment or order becoming unstayed and twenty-five (25) calendar days’ notice thereof to the Supporting Lenders by the Company, a Company Termination Event shall be deemed to have occurred;

(iii) the Supporting Lenders fail to provide an extension of any of the Milestones as required to accommodate the Bankruptcy Court’s calendar;

(iv) Deerfield fails, at any time during the Effective Period, to collectively hold or control 66.67% or more of the aggregate principal amount of the Prepetition Credit Agreement Claims; or

(v) the filing by the Supporting Lenders of any motion or pleading with the Bankruptcy Court that is inconsistent in any material respect with this Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet.

Section 9.2 Termination Upon Effective Date or Outside Date. This Agreement shall terminate automatically without further required action or notice upon the sooner to occur of (a) Effective Date and (b) any Party’s written notice to the other Parties of termination pursuant to this Section 9.2 on or after the Outside Date; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.2 shall not be available to any Party whose breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement set forth in this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Plan to become effective on or before the Outside Date.

Section 9.3 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, (a) this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and each Party shall be released from its commitments, undertakings and agreements under or related to this Agreement, and shall have all the rights and remedies that it would have had it not entered into this Agreement, and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Restructuring or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement, including all rights and remedies available to it under applicable law; provided, however, that the rights and obligations of the Parties under Section 10.13, if applicable, with respect to the payment of fees and expenses incurred up to such date of termination shall survive such termination and all rights and remedies with respect to such claims shall not be prejudiced in any way; and (b) to the extent Bankruptcy Court permission shall be required for a Supporting Lender to change or withdraw (or cause to be changed or withdrawn) its vote in favor of the Plan or any release, the Company shall support and not object to such change or withdrawal and shall use reasonable best efforts to modify or amend its Plan or other pleadings, as applicable, to permit such Supporting Lender to change or withdraw (or cause to be changed or withdrawn) such vote or release. Nothing in this Section 9.3 shall relieve any Party from (i) liability for such Party’s breach of such Party’s obligations hereunder or (ii) obligations under this Agreement that expressly survive termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.6.

Section 10.5 Several, Not Joint Obligations. The agreements, representations, and obligations of the Supporting Lenders under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint.

Section 10.9 Descriptive Headings; Interpretative Provisions. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of like import used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. References to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules are to Articles, Sections, Exhibits and Schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. All Exhibits, Annexes and Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Exhibit, Annex or Schedule but not otherwise defined therein, shall have the meaning as defined in this Agreement. Any singular term in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the plural, and any plural term the singular. Where a word or phrase is defined herein, each of its other grammatical forms shall have a corresponding meaning. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation,” whether or not they are in fact followed by those words or words of like import. Whenever the last day for the exercise of any right or the discharge of any duty under this Agreement falls on other than a Business Day, the party hereto having such right or duty shall have until the next Business Day to exercise such right or discharge such duty. Unless otherwise indicated, the word “day” shall be interpreted as a calendar day. References to “dollars” or “$” mean United States dollars, unless otherwise clearly indicated to the contrary. No summary of this Agreement prepared by or on behalf of any party hereto shall affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.10 Representation by Counsel; No Strict Construction. Each Party acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel (or had the opportunity to be so represented and waived its right to do so) 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. This Agreement is the product of arm’s-length negotiations among the Parties and its provisions shall be interpreted in a neutral manner and one intended to effect the intent of the Parties. The Company, on the one hand, and the Supporting Lenders, on the other hand, participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement, and, in the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as jointly drafted by the Company and the Supporting Lenders, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party hereto by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Agreement. Without limitation as to the foregoing, no rule of strict construction construing ambiguities against the draftsperson shall be applied against any person with respect to this Agreement.

Section 10.11 Entire Agreement. Subject to the Restructuring Term Sheet and the Definitive Documents, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements and all other prior negotiations between and among the Company and the Supporting Lenders (and their respective advisors), oral or written, between the Parties with respect thereto, to the maximum extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof; provided that the Parties acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements (if any) heretofore executed between the Company and any Supporting Lender (and such Supporting Lender’s advisors) shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with and only to the extent of their respective terms.

Section 10.12 Governing Law and Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a) This Agreement, and all Causes of Action (whether in contract, tort or statute) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement (including any claim or cause of action based upon, arising out of or related to any representation or warranty made in or in connection with this Agreement or as an inducement to enter into this Agreement), shall be governed by, and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of New York, including its statutes of limitations, without giving effect to any borrowing statute or applicable principles of conflicts of law to the extent that the application of the laws (including statutes of limitation) of another jurisdiction (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction) would be required thereby.

(b) By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, subject to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, each Party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for the purpose of any Cause of Action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. At any time prior to the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located within in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York in the State of New York for purposes of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. Each party hereto hereby consents to service of process in the manner and at the address set forth in Section 10.8.

(c) EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND CERTIFIES (I) THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (II) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (III) IT MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, THE RESTRUCTURING TERM SHEET AND THE DEFINITIVE DOCUMENTS AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 10.12(C).

Section 10.13 Transaction Expenses. The Debtors shall pay (a) one (1) Business Day prior to the Petition Date, (b) subject to the Cash Collateral Orders, including the payment procedures set forth therein, on the Effective Date and (c) otherwise in accordance with the terms of any applicable fee letters and court orders during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, all accrued and unpaid fees, costs and expenses of the Supporting Lenders in connection with the Restructuring (provided that the amount paid pursuant to (a) above shall be agreed by the Debtors and the Supporting Lenders and shall be less than the total amount of accrued and unpaid expenses owing to the Supporting Lenders as of such date) without the need to file any application with, or obtain any order from, the Bankruptcy Court, including, without limitation, the fees, costs and expenses of (i) Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, (ii) Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Capital, Inc., (iii) Xxxxxx Xxxx, (iv) any other professionals that may be retained by the Supporting Lenders in connection with the Restructuring and (v) counsel for the Prepetition Agent. The Debtors shall also enter into ordinary and customary fee letters with the foregoing professionals and fund the retainers and other amounts required thereunder as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement.

Section 10.14 Amendments and Waivers.

(a) Any amendment or modification of any term or provision of this Agreement or the Restructuring and any waiver of any term or provision of this Agreement or of the Restructuring or of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder shall not be valid unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Company and the Requisite Supporting Lenders or (ii) confirmed by email by both counsel to the Company and counsel to the Requisite Supporting Lenders representing that it is acting with the authority of the Company and the Requisite Supporting Lenders, respectively.

(b) In determining whether any consent or approval has been given or obtained by the Requisite Supporting Lenders, the Requisite Supporting Lenders shall at all times be comprised of members who constituted the Requisite Supporting Lenders, and any loans held by any then-existing Supporting Lender, as applicable, that is in material breach of its covenants, obligations or representations under this Agreement shall be excluded from such determination, and the loans held by such Supporting Lender, as applicable, shall be treated as if they were not outstanding.

(c) Any waiver shall not be deemed to extend to any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder or affect in any way any rights arising by virtue of any prior or subsequent default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant.

(d) The failure of any Party to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other Party with its obligations hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to demand such compliance.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.14, no amendment, modification or waiver of any term or provision of this Agreement or the Restructuring shall be effective with respect to any Supporting Lender without such Supporting Lender’s prior written consent to the extent such amendment, modification or waiver materially affects such Supporting Lender in a manner that is disproportionately adverse to such Supporting Lender in relation to the other Supporting Lenders.

(f) 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.

Section 10.15 Parties, Succession and Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, estates (including the Estates), administrators and representatives. No rights or obligations of any Party under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred to any other person or entity except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any person or entity, other than the Parties (and those permitted assigns under Section 3.3), any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement; provided, however, that a Supporting Lender may assign some or all of its rights or delegate some or all of its obligations hereunder to one or more Affiliates without any other Party’s consent. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to the applicable Party will also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.

Section 10.16 No Waiver of Participation and Reservation of Right. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Plan, nothing herein is intended to, nor does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict any right of any Party or the ability of each of the Parties to protect and preserve its rights, remedies and interests, including Claims against and interests in the Company. If the Restructuring is not consummated, or following the occurrence of a Supporting Lender Termination Event, a Company Termination Event, an event triggering automatic termination pursuant to Section 9.1(c), or the termination of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights, and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights.

Section 10.17 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement.

Section 10.18 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this Agreement and all of which, when taken together, will be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. Executed copies of this Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf), which shall be deemed to be an original for the purposes of this Section 10.18.

Section 10.19 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed severable and the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions hereof. If any provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, or the application of such provision, covenant or restriction to any Person or any circumstance, is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable, (a) a suitable and equitable provision shall be substituted therefor in order to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid or unenforceable provision and (b) the remainder of this Agreement and the application of such provision, covenant or restriction to other Persons or circumstances shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability, nor shall such invalidity or unenforceability affect the validity or enforceability of such provision, or the application of such provision, in any other jurisdiction and the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated.

Section 10.20 Specific Performance. Each Party hereto recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by it of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement would cause the other Parties to sustain damages for which such Parties would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages, and therefore each Party hereto agrees that in the sole event of any breach, the other Parties shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (including attorney’s fees and costs) to enforce such covenants and agreements, in addition to any other remedy to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled, at law or in equity, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 10.21 Conflicts. In the event the terms and conditions set forth in the Restructuring Term Sheet and in this Agreement are inconsistent, the Restructuring Term Sheet shall control. In the event of any conflict among the terms and provisions of the Plan, this Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet, the terms and provisions of the Plan shall control. In the event of any conflict among the terms and provisions of the Confirmation Order, the Plan,

this Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet, the terms of the Confirmation Order shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 10.21 shall affect, in any way, the requirements that the Plan and the Confirmation Order be in all material respects materially consistent with this Agreement and the Restructuring Term Sheet and the requirements set forth herein for the amendment of this Agreement.
