(a) On the Minimum Liquidity Test Date, the financial advisors to the Debtors and the financial advisors to the Backstop Participants shall make a determination as to (1) whether the Minimum Liquidity Test is satisfied and (2) if not, whether the issuance of Incremental Liquidity Shares in any amount up to an aggregate of $25 million (in $1 million increments) would enable Reorganized Key to have Minimum Liquidity on the Plan Effective Date. If a determination is made by the financial advisors to the Debtors and the financial advisors to the Backstop Participants that the issuance of Incremental Liquidity Shares is both necessary and sufficient to cause Reorganized Key to have Minimum Liquidity on the Plan Effective Date, then the Debtors shall, on the next Business Day after the Minimum Liquidity Test Date, file with the Bankruptcy Court a notice (the form of which shall be consented to by the advisors to the Backstop Participants) indicating the results of such determination, the number of Incremental Liquidity Shares to be issued under the Plan and the applicable Incremental Liquidity Per Share Price(s) for such shares. If the financial advisors to the Debtors and the financial advisors to the Backstop Participants are unable to reach agreement on the Minimum Liquidity Test Date as to the determinations in (1) and (2) above, then the parties shall seek a determination as to any such dispute from the Bankruptcy Court on the next Business Day after the Minimum Liquidity Test Date, to be heard on an expedited basis such that the Plan Effective Date shall not be delayed.

48


the other Fundamental Implementation Agreements; provided, however, neither the Company nor the Backstop Participants are required to provide for review in advance declarations or other evidence submitted in connection with any filing with the Bankruptcy Court.

In the event of any uncertificated shares, such shares shall be subject to a restrictive notation substantially similar to the Legend in the stock ledger or other appropriate records maintained by the Company or agent and the term “Legend” shall include such restrictive notation. The Legend (or restrictive notation) set forth above shall be removed from the certificates evidencing any such securities (or the records, in the case of uncertified shares) at any time after the restrictions described in such Legend cease to be applicable following written notice by the holder thereof to the Company. The Company may reasonably request such opinions, certificates or other evidence that such restrictions no longer apply.

Section 6.10 Investor Rights Agreement(s). Any Backstop Participant that receives shares issued pursuant to this Agreement agrees to execute and become party to the Investor Rights Agreement(s).

Section 6.11 Tax Treatment of Call Options and Put Options.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

Section 8.1 Indemnification Obligations. The Company (the “Indemnifying Party”) shall indemnify and hold harmless each Backstop Participant, its Affiliates, shareholders, members, partners and other equity holders, general partners, managers and its and their respective Representatives, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented legal and other third party expenses) (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Indemnified Person may incur or to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the Plan and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Backstop Commitments, the Rights Offering, the payment of the Put Premium or the use of the proceeds of the Rights Offering, or any breach by the Debtors of this Agreement, or any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Company, the other Debtors, their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Person, and reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for reasonable and documented (subject to redaction to preserve attorney client and work product privileges) legal or other third-party expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth herein) irrespective of whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Fundamental Implementation Agreements, including this Agreement, are consummated or whether or not this Agreement is terminated; provided that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Losses (a) as to a Defaulting Backstop Participant and its Related Parties, caused by a Backstop Participant Default by such Backstop Participant, (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the (i) bad faith, fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person, (ii) a material breach of the representations and warranties made by such Indemnified Person in this Agreement, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not survive the Closing Date, or (iii) a material breach by such Indemnified Person of its obligations under this Agreement, which breach would permit the Company to have terminated such agreement as to such Backstop Participant.

Section 8.2 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that (i) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (ii) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article VIII. In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and it

 

55


notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Person, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided that if the parties (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person’s counsel there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (A) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to such Indemnified Claims (in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel is required) and that all such expenses shall be reimbursed as they occur), (B) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Indemnified Claims, (C) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed or is failing to defend such claim, and is provided written notice of such failure by the Indemnified Person and such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice or (D) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have sole control over any Tax controversy or Tax audit of the Company or its Subsidiaries and shall be permitted to settle any liability for Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

Section 8.3 Settlement of Indemnified Claims. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected without its written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld). If any settlement of any Indemnified Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Indemnified Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent such Losses are otherwise subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, the provisions of this Article VIII. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested the Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Person for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Indemnified Claims as contemplated by this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than sixty (60) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such request for reimbursement and (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in accordance with such

 

56


request prior to the date of such settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (A) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified Claims and (B) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

Section 8.4 Contribution. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless from Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company pursuant to the issuance and sale of the Backstop Shares in the Rights Offering contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan bears to (b) the Put Premium paid or proposed to be paid to the Backstop Participants.

Section 8.5 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by the Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this Article VIII shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the Primary Rights Offering Per Share Price for all Tax purposes.

Section 8.6 No Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing Date except for covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be satisfied after the Closing Date, including for the avoidance of doubt, this Article VIII which covenants and agreements shall survive until satisfied in accordance with their terms.

ARTICLE IX

(i) an Automatic Termination occurs; or

(ii) the Company and the Required Backstop Participants agree to terminate by mutual written consent (a “Mutual Termination”), provided that a Mutual Termination shall not be effective and shall be void ab initio unless the Company’s termination is consented to by the Required Consenting Term Lenders.

(b) Each Non-Defaulting Backstop Participant may, solely as to such Non-Defaulting Backstop Participant and by written notice to the Company and each other Backstop Participant at any time on or prior to the Closing Date, terminate its obligations hereunder, including its Backstop Commitment and obligations under the Call Option and Put Option obligations (a “Backstop Participant Termination”) upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) the Company (or any of its Subsidiaries): (A) files or publicly announces that it will file or joins in or supports any plan of reorganization (or disclosure statement related thereto) in the Chapter 11 Proceedings other than the Plan, other than as permitted pursuant to the PSA; (B) terminates or files a motion or pleading with the Bankruptcy Court seeking authority to terminate or reject any Fundamental Implementation Agreement on account of the Board’s fiduciary obligations or (C) provides notice to counsel to the Supporting Creditors of its intent to enter into or otherwise publicly announces its intent to pursue an Alternative Transaction;

(ii) either the Confirmation Order or the Backstop Order is reversed, dismissed or vacated, or is modified or amended after entry in a manner that is not reasonably satisfactory to the Required Backstop Participants;

(iii) any of the Chapter 11 Proceedings are dismissed or converted to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or the Bankruptcy Court enters an order in any of the Chapter 11 Proceedings appointing an examiner or trustee with expanded powers to oversee or operate the Debtors in the Chapter 11 Proceedings;

(iv) the issuance by any governmental authority, including the Bankruptcy Court, any regulatory authority or any other court of competent jurisdiction, of any ruling or order enjoining the substantial consummation of the Restructuring and the Plan on the terms and conditions set forth in the PSA and the Fundamental Implementation Agreements; provided, however, that the Debtors shall have ten (10) days after notice to the Company of such ruling or order to obtain relief that would allow

 

58


consummation of the Restructuring and the Plan in a manner that (A) does not prevent or diminish in a material way compliance with the terms of the PSA and the Fundamental Implementation Agreements and (B) is acceptable to the Required Backstop Participants in their reasonable discretion;

(v) upon the failure by the Debtors to comply in all material respects with any of its obligations under this Agreement, if such failure continues for ten (10) Business Days after written notice of such failure by any Backstop Participant to the Company;

(vi) the Closing Date has not occurred by 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on the earlier of (x) 110 days after the Petition Date and (y) March 21, 2017 (the “Outside Date”);

(vii) the Required Consenting Term Lenders terminate the PSA (solely as to each Supporting Term Lender) pursuant to Section 11(d) of the PSA;

(viii) the PSA shall have been terminated prior to the Plan Effective Date, including by such Backstop Participant as to itself;

(ix) an Order denying confirmation of the Plan is entered on the docket in the Chapter 11 Proceedings; or

(x) any Backstop Participant Closing Condition becomes incapable of being satisfied unless such condition is waived pursuant to the terms of this Agreement;

(c) The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree and shall not dispute that after the commencement of the Chapter 11 Proceedings neither Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code nor any other applicable law shall preclude any Party from terminating this Agreement if the Agreement so provides, or from taking any action necessary to effectuate such termination pursuant to terms hereof, provided, that nothing herein shall prejudice any Party’s rights to argue that the giving of notice of termination was not otherwise proper under the terms of this Agreement. No cure period contained in this Agreement shall be extended pursuant to Section 108 or 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law without the prior written consent of each of the Parties, and the Debtors hereby waive, to the greatest extent possible, the applicability of the automatic stay to such steps necessary to effectuate the termination of this Agreement.

(d) So long as it is not in breach of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect, the Company may, by written notice to each Backstop Participant at any time prior to the Closing Date, terminate this Agreement (a “Company Termination”) and this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no further obligations or liabilities on the part of the Debtors or the Backstop Participants (subject to Section 9.2), upon the occurrence of any of the following events:

(i) upon the Company terminating the PSA in accordance with its terms;

 

59


(ii) within three (3) Business Days after the giving of written notice by the Company to the Supporting Creditors of a determination by the Board, in good faith, based on the advice of its outside counsel, that proceeding with the Restructuring and pursuit of confirmation and consummation of the Plan would be inconsistent with the Board’s fiduciary obligations under applicable law;

(iii) upon the issuance by any governmental authority, including the Bankruptcy Court, any regulatory authority or any other court of competent jurisdiction, of any ruling or order enjoining the substantial consummation of the Restructuring and the Plan on the terms and conditions set forth in the PSA and the Fundamental Implementation Agreements; provided, however, that the Backstop Participants shall have ten (10) days after notice to the Backstop Participants of such ruling or order to obtain relief that would allow consummation of the Restructuring and the Plan in a manner that (A) does not prevent or diminish in a material way compliance with the terms of the PSA and the Fundamental Implementation Agreements and (B) is acceptable to the Debtors in their reasonable discretion;

(iv) upon the failure by the Backstop Participants in the aggregate to comply in all material respects with any of their obligations under this Agreement, if such failure continues for ten (10) Business Days after written notice of such failure by the Company to the Backstop Participants;

(v) the PSA shall have terminated prior to the Plan Effective Date; or

(vi) the Plan Effective Date shall not have occurred on or prior to the Outside Date;

provided, that a Company Termination (other than pursuant to clauses (ii) or (v)) shall not be effective and shall be void ab initio unless consented to in writing by the Required Consenting Term Lenders pursuant to the Termination Notice Procedures.

Section 9.2 Effect of Termination.

(a) If, within eight (8) Business Days of any Backstop Participant Termination or Backstop Participant Default, the other Backstop Participants have failed to assume 100% of the rights and obligations of the Defaulting Backstop Participant or the Terminating Backstop Participant, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.6, this Agreement shall automatically terminate with respect to all Parties unless prior to such eighth (8th) Business Day, solely with respect to a Backstop Participant Default, the Company provides evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Non-Defaulting Backstop Participants that such Backstop Participant Default would not otherwise prevent consummation of the Plan in accordance with the Restructuring Timeline (such automatic termination, the “Automatic Termination”). For the avoidance of doubt, a default by a Backstop Participant shall not itself constitute a Backstop Participant Termination.

(b) If the Agreement is terminated in its entirety upon an Automatic Termination (other than an Automatic Termination resulting from a Backstop Participant

 

60


Default), or a Backstop Participant Termination, in each case pursuant to Section 9.1(b)(i), Section 9.1(b)(iv), Section 9.1(b)(v), or Section 9.1(b)(viii) (with respect Section 9.1(b)(viii), to the extent the PSA is terminated as a result of a breach thereof by the Company), the Company shall pay or cause to be paid to the Non-Defaulting Backstop Participants a non-refundable aggregate fee in Cash in immediately available funds in an aggregate amount equal to $3,850,000 (the “Termination Fee”). The claim of the Non-Defaulting Backstop Participants for the Termination Fee shall be an unsecured claim subordinated in right of payment solely to the Term Loan Claims, and shall not be paid by the Company unless and until the Term Loan Claims have been paid in full in Cash.

(c) Each Non-Defaulting Backstop Participant shall receive its Backstop Pro Rata Share (adjusted, as applicable, for the removal of any Defaulting Backstop Participant) of the Termination Fee.

Section 10.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE AMONG THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE.

Section 10.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become

 

63


effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to each other Party (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission), it being understood that each Party need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 10.7 Waivers and Amendments; Rights Cumulative. This Agreement may be amended, restated, modified, or changed only by a written instrument signed by the Debtors and the Required Backstop Participants; provided that each Backstop Participant’s prior written consent shall be required for any amendment that would have the effect of: (i) modifying such Backstop Participant’s Initial Backstop Pro Rata Share; (ii) increasing the Applicable Unsubscribed Per Share Price to be paid in respect of the Unsubscribed Rights Offering Shares; (iii) extending the Outside Date; (iv) changing the definition of Required Backstop Participants and (v) modifying Section 2.2(a), Section 2.6, Section 2.7, Section 2.8, Section 2.9, Section 3.1, Section 6.4, Section 6.6, Section 6.11, Section 6.12, Section 7.1(g), Section 9.1(b) or Section 9.2 hereof, or (vi) otherwise disproportionately or materially adversely affecting such Backstop Participant. The conditions of this Agreement (other than the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.3, the waiver of which shall be governed solely by Article VII) may be waived (x) by the Debtors only by a written instrument executed by the Company and (y) by the Required Backstop Participants only by a written instrument executed by all of the Required Backstop Participants. No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any Party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any Party otherwise may have at law or in equity.

Section 10.8 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 10.9 Specific Performance. The Parties agree that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief, plus attorneys’ fees and costs related to seeking such relief, as a remedy of any such breach, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder, and each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with such remedy. The Parties agree that money damages shall be awarded only in a case where a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined that, notwithstanding the Parties’ intention for specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief to be the only applicable remedy with respect to any breach hereunder, such remedy is not available or otherwise will not be granted as a remedy; provided that in no event will any Party be liable for monetary damages (including consequential, special, indirect or punitive damages or damages for lost profits) in excess of (a) with respect to a Backstop Participant, the Backstop Commitment of such Backstop Participant and (b) with respect to the Company, the aggregate amount of the Backstop Commitments of the Backstop Participants.

 

64


Section 10.10 No Reliance. No Backstop Participant or any of its Related Parties shall have any duties or obligations to the other Backstop Participants in respect of this Agreement, the Plan or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except those expressly set forth herein and in the PSA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Backstop Participant or any of its Related Parties shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties to the other Backstop Participants, (b) no Backstop Participant or any of its Related Parties shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers on behalf of any other Backstop Participant, (c) (i) no Backstop Participant or any of its Related Parties shall have any duty to the other Backstop Participants to obtain, through the exercise of diligence or otherwise, to investigate, confirm, or disclose to the other Backstop Participants any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that may have been communicated to or obtained by such Backstop Participant or any of its Affiliates in any capacity and (ii) no Backstop Participant may rely, and confirms that it has not relied, on any due diligence investigation that any other Backstop Participant or any Person acting on behalf of such other Backstop Participant may have conducted with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective securities and (d) each Backstop Participant acknowledges that no other Backstop Participant is acting as a placement agent, initial purchaser, underwriter, broker or finder with respect to its Unsubscribed Rights Offering Shares or its Backstop Commitment.

Section 10.11 Publicity. At all times prior to the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Debtors and the Backstop Participants shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases (and provide each other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such release) or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No Party shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except to the extent the disclosing Party determines it is required to do so by applicable Law, in which case such Party shall use all reasonable efforts to consult with the other Party (or Parties) before issuing any such release or making any such public statement.

Section 10.12 Survival.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Article IX, upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1, (i) the obligations of the Debtors to pay the Termination Fee pursuant to Section 9.2(b) above and to satisfy their indemnification obligations pursuant to Article VIII shall survive the termination of this Agreement indefinitely and shall remain in full force and effect, (ii) the provisions set forth in this Article X and the provisions in Section 2.7(e) outlining the release of the funds from the Backstop Escrow Account following the termination of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms and (iii) subject to Section 10.9, nothing in this Section 10.12 shall relieve any Party from liability for any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful or intentional breach” shall mean a breach of this Agreement that is a consequence of an act undertaken by the breaching party with the knowledge (actual or constructive) that the taking of such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement.
