Section 6.02 Construction. References in the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. References in the masculine shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. Headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meanings of the provisions hereof. Neither party, nor its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions of this Agreement, and all language in all parts of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against either party.

 

Section 6.03 Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement shall in all respects be construed in accordance with and governed by the substantive laws of the State of New York, without reference to its choice of law rules that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Any suit, action or proceeding brought by a party arising out of or in connection this Agreement may be instituted in any state or federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, State of New York (or in the event that the Company becomes the subject of bankruptcy proceedings in the United States, the presiding bankruptcy court (the “Bankruptcy Court”) for so long as the Company is subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court), and any appellate court thereof, and each party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or proceeding. Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection to any such suit, action or proceeding in such courts on the grounds of venue, residence or domicile or that any such suit, action or proceeding in such courts has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Each of the Company and each Undersigned Party, on behalf of itself and on behalf of each of its Accounts that is a Holder, irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury with respect to any legal proceeding arising out of the Transactions.

Section 6.04 Severability. If any term, provision, agreement, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, agreements, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon such a determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner so that the Transactions may be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

 

Section 6.05 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Any counterpart or other signature hereon delivered by facsimile, e-mail (including pdf or any electronic signature) or other transmission method shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

 

Section 6.06 Tax Matters. The Company (solely to the extent the Company is required to take a position pursuant to applicable law) and the Holders intend, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, (i) to treat each tranche of the New Bonds as a separate issue of indebtedness for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, neither of which are “contingent payment debt instruments” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1275-4; and (ii) to treat any adjustment to the conversion price of the New Bonds, and any adjustment to the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant Certificate) of the Warrants pursuant to Section 5 of the Warrant Certificate as being made pursuant to a “bona fide, reasonable, adjustment formula” within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-7(b) (except to the extent otherwise required pursuant to the last sentence of Treasury Regulations Section 1.305-7(b)(1)), and shall not take any position for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes inconsistent with the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), in each case, except to the extent otherwise required by a change in law or a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, the Company and the Holders intend that, for U.S. federal (and applicable state and local) income tax purposes, any amount realized by the Holders as a result of the Transactions be allocated first to the repayment of principal on the Existing Bonds, and thereafter to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest on the Existing Bonds. Reasonably promptly after Closing, and in any event within 90 days following the Closing Date, the Company shall determine in good faith the “issue price” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.1273-2) of each tranche of New Bonds, together with the fair market value of the Warrants as of the Closing Date, and shall make such determination reasonably available to the Holders.

 

Section 6.07 Assignment; Binding Effect. Each Holder shall not convey, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the express written consent of the Company, and the Company shall not convey, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the express written consent of each Holder. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

 

Section 6.08 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

 

13

 

 

Section 6.09 Amendment. This Agreement may be modified or amended only by written agreement of each of the parties to this Agreement.

 

Section 6.10 Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing herein shall grant to or create in any person not a party hereto, or any such person’s dependents or heirs, any right to any benefits hereunder, and no such party shall be entitled to sue any party to this Agreement with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any internal or outside counsel to the Company may rely on any and all of the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement.

 

Section 6.11 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing (a) by the mutual written consent of the parties hereto; (b) by the Company if there has been a material misrepresentation or a material breach of warranty by an Undersigned Party in the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or the Exhibits attached hereto; and (c) by an Undersigned Party if there has been a material misrepresentation or a material breach of warranty by the Company in the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or the Exhibits attached hereto. In addition, in the event that the Closing shall not have occurred with respect to an Undersigned Party on or before 25 Business Days from the date hereof (the “Outside Date”) due to the failure to satisfy the conditions set forth in Article 5 above, each party shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by delivering a written notice to that effect to each other party to this Agreement and without liability of any party to any other party; provided that (i) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.11 shall not be available to any party whose failure to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has principally caused or resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before the Outside Date and (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 6.11 shall not be available to the Undersigned Party prior to August 1, 2024 if (x) the sole reason the conditions set forth in Section 5.01 have not been satisfied on or before the Outside Date is due to the fact that the Indenture has not yet been qualified under the TIA and (y) the Company is using its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Indenture to be qualified under the TIA.
