As contemplated by the TSA and pursuant to the terms of the Strict Foreclosure Agreement (the “Strict Foreclosure Agreement”), dated as of November 17, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), by and among SMP Holdings, Summit Investments and the Term Loan Agent (as defined therein), the Directing Lenders directed the Term Loan Agent to execute a strict foreclosure on behalf of the Directing Lenders on 2,306,972 Common Units pledged as collateral under the Term Loan (the “Specified Collateral”) due to SMP Holdings’ failure to pay certain required amortization payments. Pursuant to the Strict Foreclosure Agreement, SMP Holdings and Summit Investments entered into a General Assignment and Bill of Sale on the Closing Date, pursuant to which SMP Holdings and Summit Investments assigned, transferred and conveyed the Specified Collateral to all Term Loan Lenders on a pro rata basis (the “Assignment”).
