EDMR REGISTRATION FORM
INSTRUCTIONS AND SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
This form is used to register NPDES wastewater permittees to use NCDWR's eDMR system for the purpose of
electronically submitting required monthly monitoring reports.
For more information on the eDMR system, visit the Division of Water Resources' eDMR website.
General — When submitting an application to the NCDWR's Information Processing Unit, please use the
following instructions as a checklist to ensure all required items are submitted. Adherence to these instructions
and checking the provided boxes will help produce a quicker review time and reduce the amount of requested
additional information.
eDMR Registration Application [FORM: NC eDMR Registration Form (Revision 4.1)]:
X❑ Submit the completed and appropriately executed eDMR registration application form [FORM: NC
eDMR Registration Form (Revision 4.1)].
X❑ Part A: Permit/Facility Information. Provide a permit number and the associated facility
information. Only a single permit number is needed for registration. If the Owner holds
multiple NPDES wastewater permits, then the permit number provided on the application
will be used to identify the Owner and all associated permits. All permits issued to the
Owner will be automatically registered for eDMR. NOTE: Owner is also known as the
Permittee and may be an individual or organization.
X❑ Part B: Owner User Information. Provide the Owner/Responsible Official information that
will be used to create the Facility Owner in eDMR. The Owner is the legal entity to which
the permit(s) have been issued and may be an individual or organization. For an
organization, the information provided for the Owner should be the designated Responsible
Official or the person with delegated signatory authority for the Owner as specified in Part
II, Section B.11 of the Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits and 40 CFR 122.22.
X❑ Part C: User Account Information. Provide the user details for each individual who will be
assigned Facility Administrators permission and/or Submitters permission.
1. Facility Administrator Permission. The Facility Administrator is the person
responsible for managing user information for the facility/permit. The Facility
Administrator user permission can be assigned by the Owner or can be assigned at
the time of registration by the NCDWR eDMR Administrator. If someone other than
the Owner will be responsible for managing facility users within eDMR and you
would like NCDWR to set up the permission at the time of registration, then provide
the user details for the individual who will need the user permission. Note: if this
person will be responsible for submitting eDMR reports, then you will also need to
request Submitter permission for this user.
2. Submitter Permission. The Submitter is the person who submits the electronic
report. This person may be the Owner or other delegated person that has signatory
authority for the permit. The Submitter user permission can only be assigned by the
NCDWR eDMR Administrator. The Owner specified within the application will be
given full eDMR permissions including Submitter user permission.
NC eDMR Registration Fonn (Revision 4.1) Instructions i
The Submitter is equivalent to the individual who signs the certification statement on
the back of the Discharge Monitoring Report. In most cases, the Submitter will be
the Owner but may be other delegated individuals. The Submitter must be an
individual with delegated signatory authority. If individuals other than the duly
authorized person for the Owner have been delegated signatory authority, the
Division of Water Resources must be notified in writing of such delegations as
specified in the signatory requirements in Part II, Section B.11 of the Standard
Conditions for NPDES Permits and 40 CFR 122.22. A delegation of authority form is
available from the eDMR website.
X❑ Responsible Official Authorization. Complete the Responsible Official Authorization and
identify the individual duly authorized to sign applications or reports for the Owner.
X❑ Registration Certification. Complete and sign the Registration Certification in accordance
with Part II, Section B.11 of the Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits and 40 CFR 122.22.
An alternate person may be designated as the responsible official if written authorization
(see paragraph III below) is provided from a person who meets the criteria in Part II, Section
B.11 of the Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits and 40 CFR 122.22.
eDMR Owner Verification Report:
X❑ Submit the eDMR Owner Verification Report verifying the facility permit information. Should the Owner
name, Facility information, or ORC Designation be incorrect, the Owner must notify the appropriate
NCDWR contact to resolve any discrepancies before continuing with the registration process. The report
is accessed using the Registration Verification link located on the eDMR User Registration web page.
The permit information related to all NPDES wastewater permits issued to the Owner will be returned in
a PDF report format. If the Owner has multiple NPDES permits, the Owner should verify that all permits
are returned in the report. If there are permits missing from the report, the Owner should conduct a
search for each missing permit and verify the Owner Name. Any discrepancies detected must be
resolved before registration.
III. Delegation of Signature Authority:
X❑ Complete and submit the Delegation of Signature Authority form (located on the eDMR Forms and
Reports web page) for each individual who has been authorized, as described in paragraph I above, to
sign reports for the Owner. This includes each individual who will be given Submitters permission. If a
delegation letter has been previously submitted to NCDWR, then include a copy with your application
package.

Upon the motion [Docket No. 270, re -docketed as Docket No. 272] (the
"Motion' )2 of the Debtors dated February 29, 2016 for, among other things, entry of an order

B. The Motion requested, among other things, that the Court approve bidding
and notice procedures for the Sale of the Debtors' Downstream Business. Following a hearing
(the "Bidding Procedures Hearing'') on March 21, 2016, the Court entered an order [Docket
No. 471 ] (the "Bidding Procedures Order"), which, among other things, (i) approved the
Bidding Procedures, (ii) authorized the Assumption and Assignment Procedures, (iii) approved
the form and manner of notice of the Sale, the notice of assumption and assignment of executory
contracts and unexpired leases and the other notices set forth therein, and (iv) scheduled the Sale
Hearing to consider approval of the Sale. The Bidding Procedures Order established a process in
which interested parties had a full, fair and reasonable opportunity to make an offer to purchase
the Subject Assets. In accordance with the Bidding Procedures Order, the Debtors noticed for
adjournment each of the Bid Deadline, the Auction Date and the Sale Hearing [Docket Nos. 790,
879, 1026, 1032].
C. The Bidding Procedures were substantively and procedurally fair to all
parties and potential bidders and afforded notice and a full, fair and reasonable opportunity for
any person to make a Qualified Bid to purchase the Subject Assets and to participate in the
Auction.
D. The relief granted herein is in the best interests of the Debtors, their estates
and creditors, and other parties in interest.
E. The Debtors have articulated good, sufficient and sound business purpose
and justification for the Court to authorize (i) the Sale free and clear of all liens, claims, interests
and Encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances and Assumed Liabilities) to the
bidder(s) with the highest or otherwise best bid(s) in accordance with the Bidding Procedures;
3
Case 16-10083 Doc 1053 Filed 08/17/16 Entered 08/17/16 09.26.52 Main Document
Pg5of174
creditors and other parties in interest and prospective purchasers were afforded a reasonable and
fair opportunity to bid for the Subject Assets.
H. As part of its post -petition efforts to market the Subject Assets, the
Debtors' advisors contacted sixty-four (64) potential bidders. The Debtors received signed non-
disclosure agreements from twenty-nine (29) potential bidders, eleven (I1) letters of intent and
two (2) Qualified Bids for all or substantially all of the Subject Assets, including the Stalking
Horse Bid and the Designated Back -Up Bid (each as hereinafter defined).
1. On June 23, 2016, the Court entered an order (the "Stalking Horse
Approval Order") [Docket No. 898] approving the Seller's entry into a stalking horse Asset
Purchase Agreement (the "Stalking Horse Agreement") with Granges AB and Beagle
Acquisition Corp. (the "Purchaser") in the form attached as Exhibit A to the Stalking Horse
Approval Order (the "Stalking Horse Bid")
J. As more than one Qualified Bid was received, the Debtors commenced an
Auction for the Subject Assets on July 7, 2016 as contemplated by the Bidding Procedures.
K. At the conclusion of the Auction and after reviewing all Qualified Bids,
the Debtors determined in a valid and sound exercise of their business judgment and in
consultation with the Consultation Parties that the highest or otherwise best Qualified Bid for all
or substantially all of the Subject Assets was that of the Purchaser as set forth in the Stalking
Horse Agreement, as modified by Amendment No. I thereto, a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit A (the Stalking Horse Agreement, as amended, together with all exhibits and
schedules thereto, the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), to reflect, among other things, the
increase in the purchase price procured at the Auction. The Asset Purchase Agreement provides
for the purchase of the Acquired Assets (as defined therein). The purchase price includes cash

Case 16-10083 Doc 1053 Filed 08/17/16 Entered 08/17/16 09:26:52 Main Document
Pg 7 of 174
O. Subject to the entry of this Order, the Seller and the Debtors, to the extent
party thereto: (i) have full power and authority to execute the Asset Purchase Agreement and all
other documents contemplated thereby; (ii) have all of the power and authority necessary to
consummate the transactions contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement; and (iii) have
taken all corporate action necessary to authorize and approve the Asset Purchase Agreement and
the other Transaction Documents, and all other actions required to be performed by the Debtors
in order to consummate the transactions contemplated in the Asset Purchase Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents. No consents or approvals, other than those expressly provided for
in, or contemplated by, the Asset Purchase Agreement or this Order, are required for the Debtors
to consummate the Sale.
P. The Asset Purchase Agreement was negotiated and is undertaken by the
Debtors and the Purchaser at arm's length without collusion or fraud, and in good faith within
the meaning of Bankruptcy Code section 363(m). The Purchaser is not an "insider" of any of the
Debtors as that term is defined by Bankruptcy Code section 101(31). The Purchaser recognized
that the Debtors were free to deal with any other party interested in acquiring the Acquired
Assets, complied with the Bidding Procedures Order, and agreed to subject its bid to the
competitive Bidding Procedures approved in the Bidding Procedures Order. All releases and
payments to be made by the Purchaser and other agreements or arrangements entered into by the
Purchaser in connection with the Sale have been disclosed. The Purchaser has not violated
Bankruptcy Code section 363(n) by any action or inaction, and no common identity of directors
or controlling stockholders exists between the Purchaser and the Debtors. As a result of the
foregoing, the Purchaser is entitled to the protections of Bankruptcy Code section 363(m),
7
Case 16-10083 Doc 1053 Filed 08/17/16 Entered 08/17/16 09:26:52 Main Document
Pg 9 of 174
R. The Purchaser would not have entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement
if the sale of the Acquired Assets to the Purchaser were not free and clear of all claims, liens,
interests and Encumbrancess (other than Permitted Encumbrances and Assumed Liabilities)
pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 363(f) or if the Purchaser would, or in the future could, be
liable for any of such claims, liens, interests and Encumbrances, and the Purchaser is a good faith
purchaser under section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code, and, as such, is entitled to all of the
protections afforded thereby. Unless expressly included in the Assumed Liabilities and
Permitted Encumbrances, the Purchaser shall not be responsible for any claims, liens, interests
and Encumbrances, including in respect of the following: (i) any labor or employment
agreements; (ii) any mortgages, deeds of trust and security interests; (iii) any intercompany loans
and receivables between the Seller and any other Debtor; (iv) any pension, multiemployer plan
(as such term is defined in Section 3(37) or Section 4001(a)(3) of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA")), health or welfare, compensation or other
employee benefit plans, agreements, practices and programs, including, without limitation the
Noranda Aluminum Group Retirement Plan and any other pension plan of any of the Debtors or
any multiemployer plan to which the Debtors have at any time contributed to or had any liability
or potential liability; (v) any other employee, worker's compensation, occupational disease or
unemployment or temporary disability related claim, including, without limitation, claims that
might otherwise arise under or pursuant to (a) ERISA, (b) the Fair Labor Standards Act, as
amended (the "FLSA" ), (c) 'Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, (d) the Federal
s As used herein and defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement, "Encumbrance" means any "interest" as that
term is used in section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, mortgage, deed of trust, pledge, security interest,
encumbrance, easement, condition, reservation, lien (statutory or otherwise), mechanics lien, Claim, covenant,
encroachment, lease, right of use or possession, or other similar third party interest, or other survey defect,
charge, hypothecation, deemed trust, action, easement, right-of-way or covenant on real property, other than any
non-exclusive license of Intellectual Property, whether imposed by Contract, Legal Requirement, equity or
otherwise.
E
Case 16-10083 Doc 1053 Filed 08/17/16 Entered 08/17/16 09.26.52 Main Document
Pg 11 of 174
more of the standards set forth in Bankruptcy Code section 363(f)(1)-(5) has been satisfied.
Those holders of claims, liens, interests or Encumbrances who did not object or who withdrew
their objections to the Sale are deemed to have consented to the Motion as it relates to the Sale
pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 363(f)(2). Those holders of claims, liens, interests or
Encumbrances who did object fall within one or more of the other subsections of Bankruptcy
Code section 363(f). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Acquired Assets are being sold subject
to the Permitted Encumbrances and the Assumed Liabilities.
T. Neither the Debtors nor the Purchaser engaged in any conduct that would
cause or permit the Asset Purchase Agreement or the consummation of the Sale to be avoided, or
costs or damages to be imposed, under Bankruptcy Code section 363(n) or under any other law
of the United States, any state, territory, possession thereof, or the District of Columbia, or any
other applicable law.
U. The Asset Purchase Agreement, which constitutes reasonably equivalent
value and fair consideration, was not entered into, and the Sale is not consummated, for the
purpose of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Debtors under the Bankruptcy Code
or under any other law of the United States, any state, territory, possession thereof, or the District
of Columbia, or any other applicable law. Neither the Seller, any Debtor nor the Purchaser has
entered into the Asset Purchase Agreement or is consummating the Sale with any fraudulent or
otherwise improper purpose.
V. Upon the Closing, the Purchaser shall not, and shall not be deemed to: (i)
be the successor of or successor employer (as described under the FLSA, ERISA and COBRA
and applicable regulations thereunder or any other law) to the Seller, including without
limitation, with respect to any collective bargaining agreements and any benefit plans (including
Case 16-10083 Doc 1053 Filed 08/17/16 Entered 08/17/16 09:26:52 Main Document
Pg 13 of 174
facto merger or substantial continuity, whether known or unknown as of the Closing Date,
whether asserted or unasserted, fixed or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, in each case, with
respect to the Downstream Business, the Acquired Assets or any Liabilities, whether now
existing or hereinafter arising, of Seller (or any of its predecessors or any of the other Debtors),
in each case, other than Assumed Liabilities and Permitted Encumbrances. The Purchaser would
not have acquired the Acquired Assets but for the foregoing protections against potential claims
based upon "successor liability" theories.
W. Entry into the Asset Purchase Agreement and consummation of the Sale
constitutes the exercise by the Seller and the other Debtors of sound business judgment, and such
acts are in the best interests of the Seller and the other Debtors, their estates and creditors, and all
parties in interest. The Debtors have articulated good and sufficient business reasons justifying
the Sale of the Acquired Assets to the Purchaser. Additionally: (i) the Asset Purchase
Agreement constitutes the highest or otherwise best offer for the Subject Assets; (ii) the Asset
Purchase Agreement and the closing of the Sale will present the best opportunity to realize the
value of the Subject Assets and avoid a decline and devaluation of the Subject Assets; (iii) there
is risk of deterioration of the value of the Subject Assets if the Sale is not consummated
promptly; and (iv) the Asset Purchase Agreement and the Sale will provide greater value to the
Debtors' estates than would be provided by any other presently available alternative.
X. Good and sufficient reasons for approval of the Asset Purchase Agreement
and the Sale have been articulated by the Debtors. The Debtors have demonstrated compelling
circumstances and a good, sufficient and sound business purpose for the Sale outside: (a) the
ordinary course of business, pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 363(b); and (b) a plan of
reorganization, in that, among other things, the immediate consummation of the Sale is necessary
13
Case 16-10083 Doc 1053 Filed 08/17/16 Entered 08/17/16 09.26.52 Main Document
Pg 15 of 174
restricting or conditioning, assignment of any Assumed Contracts has been satisfied or is
otherwise unenforceable under Bankruptcy Code section 365.
AA. Upon the payment of the Cure Amount to the relevant counterparty to an
Assumed Contract, there will be no outstanding default under each such Assumed Contract.
BB. The Purchaser has demonstrated adequate assurance of future performance
of all Assumed Contracts within the meaning of Bankruptcy Code section 365.
CC. Upon the assignment to the Purchaser and the payment of the relevant
Cure Amounts, each Assumed Contract shall be deemed valid and binding and in full force and
effect in accordance with its terms, and all defaults thereunder, if any, shall be deemed cured,
subject to the provisions of this Order.
DD. An injunction against creditors, government agencies, and third parties
pursuing claims against, and liens, interests and Encumbrances on, the Acquired Assets is
necessary to induce Purchaser to close the Sale, and the issuance of such injunctive relief is
therefore necessary to avoid irreparable injury to the Debtors' estates and will benefit the
Debtors' creditors.
EE. Good faith negotiations between the Purchaser and the Debtors'
management or key employees regarding compensation or future employment are ongoing, and
the Purchaser anticipates that agreements regarding employment and compensation will be
reached. With respect to any agreements entered into between the Purchaser and the Debtors'
management or key employees regarding compensation or future employment, if any exist, the
Purchaser has disclosed the material terms of such agreements. The Purchaser is under no duty
to employ or compensate former employees of Seller except as specifically set forth in the Asset
1IR
Case 16-10083 Doc 1053 Filed 08/17/16 Entered 08/17/16 09.26.52 Main Document

Purchase Agreement together with all additional instruments and documents that may be
reasonably necessary or desirable to implement the Asset Purchase Agreement and the other
Transaction Documents, the terms and conditions of which are hereby approved. The Seller and
each other party to the Asset Purchase Agreement and any other Transaction Documents, are
hereby authorized and directed to perform each of their covenants and undertakings as provided
in the Asset Purchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, prior to or after the
Closing Date without further order of the Court. The Purchaser and the Debtors shall have no
obligation to close the Sale except as is contemplated and provided for in the Asset Purchase
Agreement.
4. Pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 365(f), notwithstanding any
provision of any Assumed Contract or applicable non -bankruptcy law that prohibits, restricts or
conditions the assignment of the Assumed Contracts, the Seller and any other relevant Debtor is
authorized to assume the Assumed Contracts and to assign the Assumed Contracts to the
Purchaser, which assignment shall take place on and be effective as of the Closing or as
otherwise provided herein, in the Asset Purchase Agreement or by other order of this Court (as
applicable, the "Assumption Date"). Any provision in any Assumed Contract(s) that purports to
declare a breach, default or termination as a result of a change of control of the Acquired Assets
or requires the consent of any non -debtor party for the assumption or assignment thereof is
hereby deemed unenforceable under section 365(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. There shall be no
accelerations, assignment fees, increases or any other fees charged to the Purchaser or the
Debtors as a result of the assumption and assignment of the Assumed Contracts. Pursuant to the
Asset Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser shall be permitted until the Closing Date (or such later

Encumbrances, including with respect to the Norandal USA Inc. Pension Plan for Hourly
Employees of the Newport Rolling Mill, the Norandal USA Inc. Pension Plan for Hourly Paid
Employees at the Salisbury, NC plant, and the Newport Retiree Medical Plan as well as the
CBAs, the Purchaser shall not be responsible for any claims, liens, interests and Encumbrances,
including, but not limited to, the following: (i) any labor or employment agreements; (ii) any
mortgages, deeds of trust and security interests; (iii) any intercompany loans and receivables
between the Seller and one or more of the other Debtors, or any subsidiary, parent, or affiliate of
any Debtor; (iv) any pension, multiemployer plan (as such term is defined in Section 3(37) or
Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA), health or welfare, compensation or other employee benefit plans,
agreements, practices and programs, including, without limitation, any pension plan (including,
without limitation, the Noranda Aluminum Group Retirement Plan) of any of the Debtors or any
multiemployer plan to which the Debtors have at any time contributed to or had any liability or
potential liability; (v) any other employee, worker's compensation, occupational disease or
unemployment or temporary disability related claim, including, without limitation, claims that
might otherwise arise under or pursuant to (a) ERISA, (b) the FLSA, (c) Title VII of the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, (d) the Federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, (e) the National Labor Relations

including to Cash Collateralize (as defined in the ABL DIP Loan Agreement) any letters of

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any ABL Priority Collateral Proceeds remitted to

obligations under the ABL DIP Loan Agreement be deemed to be part of the Acquired Assets.

drawing, expiration, or termination of such letters of credit or other contingent Obligations, shall

its subsidiaries, as applicable), may execute any agreement, assignment, novation, instrument or
other document the parties deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate the transfers described in
this paragraph.
12. None of the Purchaser or its affiliates, successors, assigns, equity holders,
employees or professionals shall have or incur any liability to, or be subject to any action by any
of the Debtors or any of their estates, predecessors, successors or assigns, arising out of the

whatsoever that does not conform to or comply with the provisions of this Order. Following the
Closing, no holder of a claim, lien, interest or Encumbrance against the Debtors shall interfere
with the Purchaser's title to or use and enjoyment of the Seller's interests in the Acquired Assets
based on or related to such claim, lien, interest or Encumbrance, and, except as otherwise
provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement or this Order, all such claims, liens, interests or
Encumbrances, if any, shall be, and hereby are transferred and attached to the proceeds from the
Sale in the order of their priority, with the same validity, force and effect which they have
against such Acquired Assets as of the Closing Date, subject to any rights, claims and defenses
that the Seller's estate and the Debtors, as applicable, may possess with respect thereto. All
persons are hereby enjoined from taking action that would interfere with or adversely affect the
ability of the Seller to transfer the Acquired Assets in accordance with the terms of the Asset
Purchase Agreement and this Order.

applicable Debtor) and assignment of same to the Purchaser, the Assumed Contracts shall be

Oracle programs and/or services. Additionally, the Debtors, the Purchaser and Oracle agree to
enter into assignment documentation acceptable to such parties.

good faith and the Purchaser is a good faith purchaser of the Subject Assets as that term is used
in Bankruptcy Code section 363(m). The Purchaser is entitled to all of the protections afforded
by Bankruptcy Code section 363(m). Accordingly, the reversal or modification or appeal of the
authorization provided herein to consummate the Sale shall not affect the validity of the Sale to
the Purchaser, unless such authorization is duly stayed pending such appeal prior to the Closing
Date.
19. No bulk sales law or any similar law of any state or other jurisdiction shall
apply in any way to the Sale. Except as otherwise provided in the Asset Purchase Agreement, no
obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, for brokerage or finders' fees or agents'
commissions or other similar payment is due to any person in connection with the Asset
Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby
or thereby for which the Purchaser is or will become liable.

precludes, or enjoins the enforcement of any environmental liability to a governmental unit that
any entity would be subject to as the owner or operator of property after the Closing Date.
Nothing in this Order or the Asset Purchase Agreement authorizes the transfer or assignment of

September 20, 2016 as per the terms of the Designated Back -Up Bid. In the event the Asset

Successful Bidder in accordance with the Bidding Procedures and all references herein to the
Purchaser and the Asset Purchase Agreement shall be to the Designated Back -Up Bidder and the
Designated Back -Up Bid, respectively, without further order of this Court. In such case the

42. The failure specifically to include or make reference to any particular
provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement in this Order shall not diminish or impair the
effectiveness of such provision, it being the intent of the Court that the Asset Purchase

related to the implementation of this Order, including, without limitation, the authority to:

such Party and any of its Affiliates pursuant to this Agreement, to pay (i) the applicable Service
Fees set forth for such Services on Exhibit A or Exhibit B, if any, plus (ii) any and all reasonable
and documented out-of-pocket third -party costs, fees, assessments or expenses identified for
such Services on Exhibit A or Exhibit B, or for which Service Recipient has provided its prior
written approval, and has been actually paid or incurred by any Service Provider and its
Affiliates in connection with the performance of such Services {clauses (i) and (ii), "Fees"). To
the extent reasonably feasible, the Parties agree to cooperatively prepare, review, and approve
periodic budgets for the Services to facilitate the advance approval of the costs, expenses, fees,
and other amounts anticipated to be incurred by Service Provider in providing the Services.
3.2 Billiniz. For those Services for which payments are due, Services shall be billed
bi-weekly (i.e. every two weeks) in arrears by the applicable Service Provider in such amounts
and in accordance with the applicable Fees for such Services. Where Fees for Services are based
on hourly rates by person, such invoice shall identify the applicable individuals and include a
daily accounting of hours spent and tasks performed by such individuals. Each Service
Recipient shall pay any invoiced and billed Fees due to the applicable Service Provider within
forty-five (45) calendar days after such Service Recipient's receipt of such invoice or bill,
provided that Service Recipient may withhold from its payment of such invoice the amount of
any Invoice Dispute (as defined below). Each billing invoice shall set forth in reasonable detail
the applicable Service provided during such period and the corresponding Fees owed for each of
the Services. If requested, Service Provider will provide Service Recipient with reasonable
documentation regarding out-of-pocket costs or expenses included in an invoice. Service
Recipient will pay Service Provider a late payment fee equal to the lesser of one percent (1 %)
per month or the maximum amount permissible by applicable Legal Requirements (the "Late
Fee") on all payments that are more than twenty (20) Business Days past due, to the extent that
such payments are not subject to an Invoice Dispute.
3.3 Invoice Disputes. If Service Recipient discovers an error or omission in any
invoice or otherwise disputes any amount set forth in any invoice in good faith (each, an
"Invoice Dispute"), Service Recipient shall provide prompt written notice to Service Provider of
such Invoice Dispute for resolution in accordance with Section 1.6 of this Agreement.
3.4 Extension Fee. Service Provider will have no obligation to provide any Services
after expiration of the applicable Service Period; provided, however, that in the event the Service
Period for any Service is extended pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
(including, without limitation, Section 2.4), each Service Fee payable by Service Recipient for
such Service shall be increased by an amount equal to three percent (3%) of such Service Fee
(i.e., the new Service Fee would be an amount equal to 103% of the old Service Fee).
3.5 Early Termination. In the event the Service Period for any Service or Service
Portion is terminated pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 2.3(a) of this Agreement), Service Recipient shall pay to Service Provider the
applicable Fees for such Service or Service Portion (determined in accordance with Section 3.6)

requested in order to comply with applicable Legal Requirements or in connection with the

during the term hereof, upon five (5) days prior written notice to Service Provider to inspect
during normal business hours the relevant accounting records of Service Provider and its
Affiliates and any relevant documents, materials and records related to the Services provided
under this Agreement in order to determine whether Service Provider and its Affiliates complicd
with their obligations under this Agreement, it being understood that such inspection shall be
conducted in such a manner that will not unreasonably interfere with the ordinary course of
business of Service Provider or its Affiliates. Such inspection shall be subject to the provisions
and limitations of Section 7.1 of the Purchase Agreement, applied mutatis mutandis, except that
requests for inspections shall be made to each of the Parties hereto rather than PJT Partners as

a Party of its obligations under this Article VI would be difficult or impossible to ascertain and
that there would be no adequate remedy at law available to the non -breaching Party in the event

Services are unlawful for it to provide, and the Parties will thereafter promptly work together in
good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to arrange a substitute means of providing, or

impossibility due to operation of law (including without limitation by decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction), or by reason of any other causes whatsoever not reasonably within the
control of such Party or such Party's Affiliates, including, but not limited to, acts of God, civil or
military authority, war, acts of a public enemy, terrorism, riot, insurrection, civil violence or

Party shall ensure that the applicable Service Recipient is treated no less favorably than any other
business of the applicable Service Provider in the allocation by the applicable Service Provider

Service under this Agreement is suspended or rendered impractical by reason of Force Majeure

Recipient shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to any such disrupted
Service immediately upon written notice to such Service Provider or extend, by written notice to
Service Provider, the Service Period for such disrupted Service equal to the time period of such
disruption. An event of Force Majeure shall not operate to limit amounts payable for Services
rendered on or prior to the actual date of the event of Force Majcurc.

Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall not
assume and shall not be obligated to assume or be obliged to pay, perform or otherwise discharge
any Liability of, or Liability against, Seller or its Affiliates or any of their respective
predecessors (if any), the Business or the Acquired Assets, of any kind or nature, whether or not

with respect to all Liabilities of Seller and its Affiliates and their respective predecessors, other
than the Assumed Liabilities (such Liabilities other than Assumed Liabilities, collectively, the
"Excluded Liabilities"). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Excluded
Liabilities shall include each of the following Liabilities of Seller and its Affiliates and their
respective predecessors:
(a) all Liabilities to the extent arising from any Taxes that are not
expressly assumed by the Buyer pursuant to Section 2.30), which shall include (i) 50% of any

2.5 Assignment and Assumption of Contracts.
(a)
(i) Schedule 2.5(a)(1) sets forth a list of all executory
Contracts (including Leases and Lessor Leases) primarily relating to the Business or the
Acquired Assets to which Seller is party (collectively, the "Available Contracts"), which
Schedule 2.5(a)(1) may be updated by Seller from time to time to add or remove any
Contracts inadvertently included or excluded from such schedule subject to the prior
written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned). Schedule 2.5(a)(2) sets forth a list of executory Contracts primarily relating
to the Business or the Acquired Assets to which Seller is party, but in each case which
Seller is retaining (the "Retained Contracts"), which Schedule 2.5(a)(2) may be updated
by Seller from time to time until two (2) days prior to the Closing Date to add or remove
any Contracts inadvertently included or excluded from such schedule, provided that, for
the avoidance of doubt, the removal of a Contract from Schedule 2.5(a)(1) and addition
of such Contract to Schedule 2.5(a)(2) that makes the representations and warranties of
Seller in Section 5.23 untrue in any respect shall be considered a breach by Seller of such
representations and warranties. All Contracts of Seller that are listed on Schedule
2.5(a)(2) shall not be considered Available Contracts. Buyer shall designate on Schedule
2.5(a)(3) which Available Contracts that Buyer wishes to "Assume" (the "Assumed
Contracts"), provided that Buyer shall update and finalize Schedule 2.5(a)(3) as soon as
reasonably practicable after entry of the Sale Order but prior to the Closing (the
"Determination Date"). All Contracts of Seller that are listed on Schedule 2.5(a)(1) and
which Buyer does not designate on Schedule 2.5(a)(3) for assumption shall not be
considered Assumed Contracts or Acquired Assets and shall automatically be deemed
"Excluded Contracts" (and for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall not be responsible for
any related Cure Costs); provided, however, that if an Available Contract is subject to a
cure dispute or other dispute as to the assumption or assignment of such Available
Contract that has not been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of Buyer and Seller prior to
the Closing Date, then the Determination Date shall be extended (but only with respect to
29
H8930H51607
Case 16-10083 Doc 1053 Filed 08/17/16 Entered 08/17/16 09:26:52 Main Document

Contract"), Seller shall, promptly -following the discovery thereof (but in no event later
than three (3) Business Days following the discovery thereof), notify Buyer in writing of
such Previously Omitted Contract and all Cure Costs (if any) for such Previously Omitted
Contract. Buyer shall thereafter deliver written notice to Seller, no later than five (5)
Business Days following notification of such Previously Omitted Contract from Seller,
designating such Previously Omitted Contract as "Assumed" or "Rejected" (a
"Previously Omitted Contract Designation"). A Previously Omitted Contract designated
in accordance with this Section 2.5(b)(i) as "Rejected," or with respect to which Buyer
fails to timely deliver a Previously Omitted Contract Designation, shall be an Excluded
Contract.
(ii) if Buyer designates a Previously Omitted Contract
as "Assumed" in accordance with Section 2.5(b)(i), Seller shall promptly serve a notice
(the "Previously Omitted Contract Notice") on the counterparties to such Previously
Omitted Contract notifying such counterpartics of the Cure Costs with respect to such
Previously Omitted Contract and Seller's intention to assume and assign such Previously
Omitted Contract in accordance with this Section 2.5. The Previously Omitted Contract
Notice shall provide the counterparties to such Previously Omitted Contract with at least
fourteen (14) days (or as otherwise required by the Bid Procedures) to object, in writing
to Seller and Buyer, to the Cure Costs or the assumption of its Contract. If the
counterparties, Seller and Buyer are unable to reach a consensual resolution with respect
to the objection, Seller shall seek an expedited hearing before the Bankruptcy Court to
determine the Cure Costs and approve the assumption. If no objection is served on Seller
and Buyer, Seller shall obtain an order of the Bankruptcy Court fixing the Cure Costs and
approving the assumption of the Previously Omitted Contract. Buyer shall be responsible
for all Cure Costs relating to such "Assumed" Previously Omitted Contracts and for any
obligations or Liabilities relating to such "Assumed" Previously Omitted Contracts
arising during the Extended Contract Period.
(c) Non -Assignment of Contracts and Permits. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall not constitute an
agreement to assign or transfer any Contract or any Permit, if, notwithstanding the provisions of
Sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, an attempt at assignment or transfer thereof,
without the consent or approval required or necessary for such assignment or transfer, would
constitute a violation of a Legal Requirement or a breach of such Contract or Permit (each, a
"Removed Contract"). Seller and Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any
such required consent(s) and once obtained, such Removed Contract shall be assigned and
assumed as though it were once one of the Assumed Contracts or Permits, as applicable. If,
notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 363 and 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and the
commercially reasonable efforts of Seller, such consent or approval is required but not obtained
with respect to an Assumed Contract or a Permit, neither Seller nor Buyer shall be in breach of
this Agreement nor shall the Purchase Price be adjusted nor shall the Closing be delayed in
respect of the Assumed Contracts or the Permits; provided, however, if the Closing occurs, then,
with respect to any Assumed Contract or Permit for which consent or approval is required but
not obtained, from and after the Closing for a period of no more than six (6) months, Seller shall
reasonably cooperate, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, with Buyer in any reasonable
arrangement that Buyer may request to provide Buyer with all of the benefits of, or under, the
31
Case 16-10083 Doc 1053 Filed 08/17/16 Entered 08/17/16 09:26:52 Main Document

to the contrary herein, Seller shall not have any obligation to pay any title insurance fee or
premium in connection with any title insurance commitment or policy Buyer may obtain, in each
case, included any related costs and expenses (except to the extent Buyer agrees to reimburse
Seller for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Seller in connection with such commitment or
policy).

Capital Adjustment calculated in accordance with this Section 3.2, together with supporting
documentation for such estimates and any additional information reasonably requested by Buyer.
The Pre -Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement and the
Accounting Standards. If the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment is a positive number,
the Cash Consideration payable by Buyer at Closing pursuant to Section 4.2(a) shall be increased
by the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment. If the Estimated Net Working Capital
Adjustment is a negative number, the Cash Consideration payable by Buyer at Closing pursuant
to Section 4.2(a) shall be decreased by the Estimated Net Working Capital Adjustment.
(b) Not later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, Buyer shall
prepare and deliver to Seller a certificate executed by an executive officer of Buyer (the "Closing

supporting documentation for such estimates and any additional information reasonably
requested by Seller. The Closing Statement shall be prepared in accordance with this Agreement
and the Accounting Standards.

of immediately available funds first out of the Specified Escrow Account and then, if such
shortfall is greater than the Specified Escrow Amount, out of the Indemnity Escrow Account, to
one or more accounts designated in writing by Buyer. All payments made pursuant to this
Section 3.2 shall be treated by all Parties for Tax purposes as adjustments to the Purchase Price.
(f) Promptly following determination of the Net Working Capital
Adjustment, Seller and Buyer shall provide joint written instruction to the Escrow Agent
directing the Escrow Agent to promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days
following such determination) deliver to Seller out of the Specified Escrow Account the excess

Specified Escrow Account of any amount required pursuant to Section 3.2(c)) over $2,880,000.

(c) Seller shall have a period of thirty (30) Business Days after the
delivery of the Allocation Statement (the "Response Period") to present in writing to Buyer
notice of any objections that Seller may have to the allocations set forth therein (an "Objections
Notice"). Unless Seller timely objects, such Allocation Statement shall be binding on the Parties
without further adjustment.
(d) If Seller shall raise any objections within the Response Period,
Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to
resolve such dispute. If the Parties fail to agree within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the
Objections Notice, then the disputed items shall be resolved by the Accounting Referee, whose
determination shall be final and binding on the Parties. The Accounting Referee shall resolve the
dispute within thirty (30) days after the item has been referred to it. The costs, fees and expenses
of the Accounting Referee shall be split in half and borne equally by Seller and Buyer.
(e) Unless otherwise required by Legal Requirements, the Internal
Revenue Service (the "IRS") or any other -Taxing authority, the allocation of the Purchase Price
pursuant to the Allocation Statement (if applicable, as modified by Sections 3.3(c) and 3.3(d)
hereof) shall be final and binding on the Parties, and the Parties shall follow the Allocation
Statement for purposes of filing IRS Form 8594 (and any supplements to such form) and all

conditions), or on such other date and time as Seller and Buyer may mutually agree in writing.
The date and time at which the Closing actually occurs is hereinafter referred to as the "Closing

4.2 Buver's Deliveries.

ARTICLE 6
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER
Buyer represents and warrants to Seller as follows:
6.1 Organization and Good Standing.
Buyer is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of the State of Delaware. Buyer has the requisite power and authority to own or
lease and to operate and use its properties and to carry on its business as now conducted.
6.2 Authority; Validity; Consents.
Buyer has the requisite power and authority necessary to enter into and perform
its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party
and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by Buyer and the
consummation by Buyer of the transactions contemplated herein and therein have been duly and
validly authorized by all requisite or corporate actions in respect thereof. This Agreement has
been duly and validly executed and delivered by Buyer and each other Transaction Document to
which Buyer is a party has been or will be duly and validly executed and delivered by Buyer at
the Closing. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which Buyer is a party
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in
accordance with their respective terms, except in each case as such enforceability is limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar Legal Requirements now or
hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally or general principles of equity. Except (a)
as may be required to comply with the HSR Act, (b) for entry of the Sale Order, (e) for notices,
filings and consents required in connection with the Bankruptcy Case, including the
requirements of the Bidding Procedures Order, and (d) as set forth on Schedule 6.2, Buyer is not
or will not be required to give any notice to, make any registration, declaration or filing with or
obtain any consent, waiver or approval from any Person in connection with the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a Party or the
consummation or performance of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except
for such notices, registrations, declarations or filings and consents, the failure of which to
provide, make or obtain, would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect the ability
of Buyer to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Documents or
to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
6.3 No Conflict.
Neither the execution and delivery by Buyer of this Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents to which it is a party nor the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby nor compliance by it with any of the provisions hereof or thereof
(a) conflict with or result in a violation of (i) any provision of the organizational documents of
Buyer or (ii) assuming compliance with the matters required to in Section 6.2, any Legal
Requirement in any material respect binding upon Buyer or (b) violate, conflict with, or result in
a material breach of any of the terms of, or constitute a default under, or give rise to any right of

letters or other written agreements related to the funding or investment, as applicable, of the Debt
Financing, except as set forth in the Commitment Letters. All commitment fees or other fees
required to be paid under the Debt Commitment Letters on or prior to the date hereof have been
paid. The only conditions precedent to the obligations of the Lenders to fund the full amount of
Debt Financing upon the Closing Date are those expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment
Letters. The Fee Letter(s) do not contain any additional conditions precedent to the initial
availability of the Debt Financing. As of the date hereof, assuming the accuracy of (i) the
representations and warranties set forth in Article 5 in all material respects and (ii) that any and
all financial information and statements previously provide by the Seller to the Buyer regarding
the Acquired Assets are true and correct in all material respects, the satisfaction of the conditions
precedent to the Buyer's and the Seller's respective obligations under this Agreement, the
compliance and performance in all material respects by the Seller of its covenants and
agreements set forth in this Agreement, to the Knowledge of Buyer, there is no fact or
occurrence existing as of the date of this Agreement that causes the Debt Commitment Letters to
be ineffective or unavailable or that precludes the satisfaction of the conditions under Parent's
control set forth in the Debt Commitment Letters. Assuming the satisfaction of the conditions in
Article 10, the proceeds from the Debt Financing (and, if applicable, the proceeds from the
Buyer's existing ABL revolving facility under the "ABL Replacement Scenario" (as defined in
the Fee Letters)), together with the cash or cash equivalents otherwise available to Buyer, will
provide Buyer with sufficient funds to satisfy all of its obligations under this Agreement to be
satisfied on the Closing Date on the terms contemplated hereby, including the payment of the
Cash Consideration and all other amounts to be paid or repaid by Buyer under the Transaction
Documents to the extent payable on or about the Closing Date, including amounts to be paid for
the Cure Costs (collectively, the "Required Amount"). For the avoidance of doubt, the
obligations of Buyer under this Agreement are not contingent in any respect upon the funding of
amounts contemplated by the Debt Financing.
6.7 Qualification.
(a) To Buyer's Knowledge, there exist no facts or circumstances that
would cause, or be reasonably expected to cause, Buyer and/or its Affiliates not to qualify as
"good faith" purchasers under Section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(b) As of the Closing, Buyer will be capable of satisfying the
conditions contained in Sections 365(b)(1)(C) and 365(f)(2)(B) of the Bankruptcy Code with
respect to the Assumed Contracts.
6.8 No Other Representations or Warranties; Condition of the Business;
Buyer's Reliance.
Buyer acknowledges that neither Seller or any of its Affiliates nor any other
Person is making, and Buyer is not relying on, any representations or warranties whatsoever,
statutory, expressed or implied, written or oral, at law or in equity, beyond those expressly made
by Seller in Article 5 hereof (as modified by Seller's Disclosure Schedules). Buyer
acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in Article 5 (as modified by Seller's Disclosure
Schedules), neither Seller or any of its Affiliates nor any other Person has, directly or indirectly,
made any representation or warranty, statutory, expressed or implied, written or oral, at law or in

Bidding Procedures Order, this Section 7.1 shall not require Seller to permit any access to, or to

assert to be waived or (ii) if Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer or any of its Affiliates, on the

reasonably likely to cause such privilege or work product protection to be undermined with
respect to such information or (B) could reasonably (in the good faith belief of Seller (after
consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel)) be managed through the use of
customary "clean -room" arrangements pursuant to which non -employee Representatives of
Buyer could be provided access to such information.
(c) All confidential documents and information concerning the
Business furnished to Buyer or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents are subject to the terms and conditions of
that certain Confidentiality Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2016, by and between Seller and

Agreement").

Section 7.2 and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to oppose any motion or other request
seeking such an Order of the Bankruptcy Court, from and after the Execution Date and prior to

parties in a litigation, any information that is reasonably pertinent thereto; Drovided, that, in the
case of clause (i), the Parties shall reasonably cooperate in seeking to find a way to allow
disclosure of such information to the extent doing so (A) would not (in the good faith belief of
Seller (after consultation with counsel, which may be in-house counsel)) be reasonably likely to
result in the violation of any such Legal Requirement or Contract or be reasonably likely to cause
such privilege or work product protection to be undermined with respect to such information or
(B) could reasonably (in the good faith belief of Seller (after consultation with counsel, which
may be in-house counsel)) be managed through the use of customary "clean -room" arrangements
pursuant to which non -employee Representatives of Buyer could be provided access to such
information.
(c) Seller and Buyer shall split 50/50 the cost of all Transfer Taxes.

in Buyer becoming liable or responsible therefor.
8.2 Bulk Sales.
The Sale Order shall provide either that (a) Seller has complied with the
requirements of any Legal Requirement relating to bulk sales and transfer or (b) compliance with

terminated, on or prior to the Closing Date the employment of all Employees who are offered
and accept offers of employment with Buyer pursuant to this Section 8.5(al. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing herein will, after the Closing Date, impose on Buyer any obligation to

(including eligibility, vesting and accrual) under any employee benefit plan, program, policy or
arrangement of Buyer or its Subsidiaries, Buyer shall credit (or cause to be credited) the Buyer
Employees for service earned prior to the Closing with Seller in addition to service earned with
Buyer on and after the Closing to the extent such service was taken into account under a similar
Benefit Plan of Seller prior to Closing, and provided that such credit does not result in any
duplication of benefits. To the extent the Buyer Employees and their eligible dependents enroll
in any welfare benefit plan of Buyer or its Subsidiaries, subject to the terms of any such plan,
Buyer shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to waive, or cause such waiver of, any
preexisting condition limitations applicable to such Buyer Employees to the extent that Buyer
Employee's or eligible dependent's condition would not have operated as a preexisting condition
under the applicable corresponding welfare benefit plan as maintained by Seller. In addition,
subject to the terms of the applicable welfare benefit plan of Buyer or its Subsidiaries, Buyer
shall undertake commercially reasonable efforts to (i) waive all waiting periods under such
welfare benefit plan otherwise applicable to the Buyer Employees and their eligible dependents,
other than waiting periods that arc in effect with respect to such individuals as of the Closing to
the extent not satisfied under Seller's applicable Benefit Plans, and (h) provide each Buyer
Employee and his or her dependents with corresponding credit under such welfare benefit plan

or Buyer is unwilling or unable to allow Buyer Employees to continue to participate in any
Benefit Plan under the Transition Services Agreement through December 31, 2016, Buyer shall
not be deemed to have breached any Buyer obligations under Section 8.5(a) with respect to the
benefits provided under such Benefit Plan as long as Buyer takes commercially reasonable steps
to ensure that Buyer has applicable benefit plans in operation as soon as reasonably feasible
following Closing and Buyer shall have no responsibility or obligation to reimburse Seller for the
cost of any benefits required to be provided to Buyer Employees under COBRA. Nothing in this
paragraph shall require Buyer to provide for continued participation in any defined benefit

investigations, audits or other proceedings of Governmental Authorities, to prosecute and defend
legal Proceedings or for other like purposes, including Claims, objections and resolutions, and to
enable Seller to facilitate the transition of the ownership of the Business to Buyer and wind down
its operations related to the Business. During such three (3) year period, Seller (and its
Representatives) shall be permitted to make copies, at Seller's sole cost, of any books and
records described in this Section 8.6, subject to the confidentiality requirements set forth in
Section 7.1. If Buyer desires to dispose of any such books and records, Buyer shall, thirty (30)

and shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with and assist the Indemnifying Party in the defense of
such Third Party Claim, subject to the reimbursement of the reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Indemnified Party as a result of a request by the Indemnifying Party to so
cooperate. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, it will conduct
such defense in good faith.

a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall not pay, settle or compromise such Third Party
Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (and the Indemnifying Party shall not be
obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any such payment, settlement or
compromise made or consented to without the Indemnifying Party's prior written consent).
Whether or not the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, the

such Indemnified Party an unqualified release from all liability in respect of such Third Party
Claim, (y) does not provide for the admission of liability by the Indemnified Party and (z)
provides only for the payment of monetary damages indemnifiable under this Article 12. If the

be subrogated, to the extent of such payment, to all rights and remedies of the Indemnified Party
to any ordinary insurance benefits or other claims of the Indemnified Party with respect to such
Third Party Claim; provided, however, the foregoing section of this sentence shall not apply to
representation and warranty insurance or environmental insurance.
(c) If the Indemnifying Party elects to defend such Third Party Claim,
the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim,
at its own expense, provided, however, that if the Indemnifying Party does not elect to defend
such Third Party Claim, does not defend such Third Party Claim in good faith or a timely manner,
or if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel of the Indemnified Party, there are one or more legal
defenses available to the Indemnified Party that conflict with those available to the Indemnifying
Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, in addition to any other right or remedy it may
have hereunder, at the Indemnifying Party's expense, to defend or participate in the defense of
such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of the
Indemnified Party's separate counsel incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the date the
Indemnifying Party assumes control of the defense of a Third Party Claim (solely out of the

Subject: Notice of Tier III Stormwater Reporting

Dear Mr. Slack,
DIV'SlO'V OF L44D

This letter provides formal notification to the Department on behalf of Norandal USA,
Incorporated (Noranda) regarding Tier III Stormwater Reporting due to high copper and zinc (Cu,
Zn).
Attached engineering study and subsequent graphs show the Cu, Zn Investigation and the
improvements made through investigative sampling and site housekeeping on discharge of these
metals in our effluent stormwater. Investigation yielded mixed results: Cleaning the grounds has
had significant impact in Cu, Zn numbers, but our mature metal facility and associated HVAC
units heavily contribute to high Cu, Zn (galvanized roofs, galvanized downspouts, metal oxidation,
etc.).
Noranda continues to make improvements and will begin another round of investigative sampling
once agreements are complete with a new sampling lab.
Noranda appreciates the guidance given and patience the Department has shown during for a full
investigation of our benchmark exceedance. We are additionally grateful for this opportunity to
ensure absolute compliance with the Permit and look forward to working with the Department
toward that end in the future.
Very respectfully,
Anne Evans,
EH&S Specialist

' Monthly sampling (instead of semi-annual) must begin with the second consecutive benchmark exceedance for the same parameter at the same outfall.
z For sampling periods with no discharge at any single outfall, you must still submit this discharge monitoring report with a checkmark here.
3 The total precipitation must be recorded using data from an on -site rain gauge. Unattended sites may be eligible for a waiver of the rain gauge requirement.
`See General Permit, Table 3 identifying the especially sensitive receiving water classifications where the more protective benchmark applies.
5 Total Toxic Organics sampling is applicable only for those facilities which perform metal finishing operations, manufacture semiconductors, manufacture
electronic crystals, or manufacture cathode ray tubes. For purposes of this permit the definition of Total Toxic Organics is that definition contained in the EPA
Effluent Guidelines for the facility subject to the requirement to sample (for metal finishing use the definition as found in 40 CFR 433.11; for semiconductor
manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.12; for electronic crystal manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.22; and for cathode ray
tube manufacture use the definition found in 40 CFR 469.31).

Facilities that incorporate a solvent management plan into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan may so certify, and the requirement for TTO monitoring
may be waived. The solvent management plan shall include a list of the total toxic organic compounds used and the other elements listed in the General
Permit. For those facilities electing to employ the TTO monitoring waiver, the discharger shall sign the following certification statement:
"Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirement for total toxic organics
(TTO), I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the stormwater or areas which are exposed to rainfall or
stormwater runoff has occurred since filing the last discharge monitoring report. I further certify that this facility is implementing the all the provisions of the
solvent management plan included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan."

' Monthly sampling (instead of semi-annual) must begin with the second consecutive benchmark exceedance for the same parameter at the same outfall.
Z For sampling periods with no discharge at any single outfall, you must still submit this discharge monitoring report with a checkmark here.
3The total precipitation must be recorded using data from an on -site rain gauge. Unattended sites may be eligible for a waiver of the rain gauge requirement.
4 See General Permit, Table 3 identifying the especially sensitive receiving water classifications where the more protective benchmark applies.
5 Total Toxic Organics sampling is applicable only for those facilities which perform metal finishing operations, manufacture semiconductors, manufacture
electronic crystals, or manufacture cathode ray tubes. For purposes of this permit the definition of Total Toxic Organics is that definition contained in the EPA
Effluent Guidelines for the facility subject to the requirement to sample (for metal finishing use the definition as found in 40 CFR 433.11; for semiconductor
manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.12; for electronic crystal manufacture use the definition as found in 40 CFR 469.22; and for cathode ray
tube manufacture use the definition found in 40 CFR 469.31).
Permit Date: 11/1/2012-10/31/2017 SWU-245, last revised 10/25/2012

Facilities that incorporate a solvent management plan into the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan may so certify, and the requirement for TTO monitoring
may be waived. The solvent management plan shall include a list of the total toxic organic compounds used and the other elements listed in the General
Permit. For those facilities electing to employ the TTO monitoring waiver, the discharger shall sign the following certification statement:
"Based upon my inquiry of the person or persons directly responsible for managing compliance with the permit monitoring requirement for total toxic organics
(TTO), I certify that to the best of my knowledge and belief, no dumping of concentrated toxic organics into the stormwater or areas which are exposed to rainfall or
Stormwater runoff has occurred since filing the last discharge monitoring report. I further certify that this facility is implementing the all the provisions of the
solvent management plan included in the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan."
