dispute was acting in its capacity as an agent, arranger, bookrunner or other similar capacity and, in such case, excepting only such party).  In the case of an investigation, litigation or proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by you, your equityholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.  Without otherwise limiting your indemnification obligations hereunder, the parties hereto agree that neither (x) you nor (y) any Indemnified Party shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract or tort or otherwise arising out of, related to or in connection with any aspect of the transactions contemplated hereby) for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive, damages (in the case of clause (y), other than in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnified Party to a third party and to which such Indemnified Party is otherwise entitled to indemnification as provided herein).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Commitment Letter, no Indemnified Party shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by others of information or other materials obtained through electronic telecommunications or other information transmission systems, other than for direct or actual damages resulting from such Indemnified Party’s (or any of its Related Indemnified Parties’) gross negligence or willful misconduct or a material breach of such Indemnified Party’s obligations under this Commitment Letter, as determined by a final and nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  For purposes hereof, “Related Indemnified Party” and “Related Indemnified Parties” of an Indemnified Party means (1) any controlling person or controlled affiliate of such Indemnified Party, (2) the respective directors, officers or employees of such Indemnified Party or any of its controlling persons or controlled affiliates, (3) the respective agents and advisors or other representatives of such Indemnified Party or any of its controlling persons or controlled affiliates, in the case of this clause (3), acting on behalf of or at the instructions of such Indemnified Party, controlling person or controlled affiliate; provided, that each reference to a controlled affiliate or controlling person in this sentence pertains to a controlled affiliate or controlling person involved in the negotiation and syndication of the Senior Credit Facility.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Party shall be obligated to refund and return promptly any and all amounts paid by you under this paragraph to such Indemnified Party for any such claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses to the extent it has been determined by a final, nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof.

[                              ], 201[   ]

 

This Solvency Certificate (this “Certificate”) is furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders pursuant to Section [·] of the [Credit Agreement], dated as of [                           ], 201[   ], among [                              ] (the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Certificate shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement

 

I, [                            ], the Chief Financial Officer of the Borrower (after giving effect to the Transactions), in that capacity only and not in my individual capacity, DO HEREBY CERTIFY on behalf of the Borrower that as of the date hereof, both prior to and after giving effect to the consummation of the Bloom Acquisition (including the consummation of the [Transaction Agreement] and the extensions of credit to be made under the Credit Agreement, the making of the Loans and the use of proceeds of such Loans on the date hereof, collectively, the “Transactions”):

 

1.                                      The sum of the liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, does not exceed the present fair saleable value of the assets of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis.

 

2.                                      The present fair saleable value of the assets of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is greater than the total amount that will be required to pay the probable liabilities (including contingent liabilities) of the Borrower and its subsidiaries as they become absolute and matured.

 

3.                                      The capital of the Borrower and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, is not unreasonably small in relation to their business as conducted on the date hereof.

 

4.                                      The Borrower and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, have not, giving effect to the Transactions, incurred debts or other liabilities, including current obligations, beyond their ability to pay such debts or other liabilities as they become due (whether at maturity or otherwise).

 

5.                                      For purposes of this Certificate, the amount of any contingent liability has been computed as the amount that, in light of all of the facts and circumstances known to the undersigned as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

 

6.                                      In reaching the conclusions set forth in this Certificate, the undersigned has (i) reviewed the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents referred to therein, (ii) reviewed the financial statements (including the pro forma financial statements) referred to in [Section [·] of the Credit Agreement][Annex I of the Commitment Letter] (the “Financial Statements”) and (iii) made such other investigations and inquiries as the undersigned has deemed appropriate. The undersigned is familiar with the financial performance and prospects of the Borrower and its subsidiaries and hereby confirms that the Financial Statements were prepared in good faith and, to the best knowledge of the undersigned, fairly present, in all material respects, the Borrower’s and its subsidiaries’ consolidated financial condition (including, with respect to the pro forma Financial Statements, the pro forma financial condition giving effect to the Transactions).

7.                                      The undersigned confirms and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are relying on the truth and accuracy of this Certificate in connection with the Commitments and Loans under the Credit Agreement.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has caused this certificate to be executed on its behalf by its Chief Financial Officer this day of           , 201  .
