(a) In consideration for payment by Oaktree to the Company of the Equity Investment Amount net of the cash proceeds received by the Company in connection with a Participation Offering pursuant to Section 2.1(b), if any, Oaktree shall purchase a number of shares of Reorganized Equity equal to 100% of the Reorganized Equity outstanding immediately after the Effective Date (not taking into account the Commitment Fee, and subject to the dilution as a result of the Equity Incentive Program), minus (i) the Participation Offering Shares, if any, and (ii) the shares of Reorganized Equity issued in respect of the Supporting Oaktree Lenders’ allowed Claims under the Oaktree Facility in accordance with the Plan (the “Oaktree Conversion Shares”). The allocation of the Reorganized Equity among the Oaktree Conversion Shares, the Oaktree Commitment Shares and the Participation Offering Shares shall be as provided for in the Plan. The shares of Reorganized Equity so purchased by Oaktree under this Section 2.1(a) are referred to herein as the “Oaktree Commitment Shares.” The Oaktree Commitment Shares together with the Oaktree Conversion Shares and the Commitment Fee Warrant Shares are collectively referred to herein as the “Oaktree Shares”). For the avoidance of doubt, if the Participation Offering is not consummated on or before the Closing Date (and no Person acquires any Reorganized Equity on or before the Closing Date), then, (i) on the Closing Date, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Oaktree shall pay to the Company the entire Equity Investment Amount in consideration for the issuance and sale by the Company of the Oaktree Commitment Shares and (ii) any and all proceeds from the sale of Participation Offering Shares, if any, following the Closing, shall be paid to Oaktree or its designee rather than the Company.

(b) The Company hereby agrees and acknowledges that the decision to conduct a Participation Offering (including the identity of the Equity Investment Participants and the amounts that may be invested by any such Person) shall be made by Oaktree in its sole discretion. If Oaktree determines to conduct a Participation Offering, Oaktree shall determine the terms and conditions of a Participation Offering, and will prepare a term sheet setting forth such terms and conditions (the “Participation Offering Term Sheet”); provided, however, that if any portion of the Participation Offering is a rights offering or other offering of securities by the Company or otherwise imposes material obligations upon the Company, the form, terms, conditions, structure and process of such offering shall be subject to the reasonable consent of the Company. The Parties agree that the Participation Offering will occur in accordance with the Participation Offering Term Sheet in connection with consummation of the Plan; provided, that the Participation Offering, if any, shall not cause the Company to fail to meet any of the Milestones in accordance with the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement (unless such Milestone is extended or waived by Oaktree in its sole discretion in order to accommodate court schedules or otherwise, or extended in accordance with the last sentence of Section 2.3(a). If any portion of the Participation Offering is a rights offering or other offering of securities by the Company or otherwise imposes material obligations upon the Company, then (x) the Company shall provide copies of all documents, instruments, agreements and other materials to be entered into, delivered, distributed or otherwise used in connection with the Participation Offering for review and comment by Oaktree and (y) the Company shall prepare the definitive documents for the Participation Offering which shall not deviate in any material respect from the Participation Offering Term Sheet without Oaktree’s consent and will be filed with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that (i) any Participation Offering will be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, including, but not limited to, securities laws and Money Laundering Laws, (ii) in no event shall the Company be required to issue or sell any Purchased Shares or any other securities to any Person subject to any U.S. sanctions administered by the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Treasury Department and (iii) each participant in any Participation Offering shall provide such customary representations and warranties to the Company as the Company may reasonably request.

(c) The Company shall deliver to Oaktree and each Equity Investment Participant, if any, all of the Purchased Shares purchased by such Person, as applicable, pursuant to Sections 2.1(a) and 2.1(b), in a manner consistent with, and pursuant to, the procedures set forth in the Plan.

2.2 The Commitment Fee; Expense Reimbursement and Break-Up Fee.

(a) The Company acknowledges and agrees that Oaktree has expended considerable time and expense in connection with this Agreement and the Restructuring Support Agreement and the negotiation thereof, that Oaktree incurs considerable risk in providing its commitment under the terms of this Agreement, and that this Agreement and the Restructuring Support Agreement provide value to, and are beneficial to, the Company’s estate. The Company further acknowledges and agrees in accordance with the Approval Order (once entered), that the Company’s delivery of the Commitment Fee shall be paid on the Effective Date and its compliance with the requirements of Section 2.2(b)(iii) shall be a condition precedent to the Effective Date, and that the delivery of the Commitment Fee and payment of the Expense Reimbursement and Break-Up Fee, as applicable, are integral to this Agreement and the Restructuring Support Agreement and Oaktree’s agreement to proceed with the transactions contemplated hereby and the Restructuring. Accordingly, subject to entry of the Approval Order, the Company hereby agrees to provide the following consideration to Oaktree or a designated Affiliate of any Oaktree Fund in exchange for Oaktree’s agreement to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof:

(i) the Commitment Fee;

(ii) the Break-Up Fee; and

(iii) the Expense Reimbursement (collectively, with the Commitment Fee and the Break-Up Fee, the “Oaktree Fees”).

(b) Subject only to entry of the Approval Order, the Company shall pay the Oaktree Fees as follows:

(i) the Commitment Fee shall be delivered to Oaktree or a designated Affiliate of any Oaktree Fund on the Effective Date; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Commitment Fee shall not be paid to Oaktree if the Closing does not occur;

(ii) in the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 11.3(c), and/or the Company terminates the Restructuring Support Agreement pursuant to Section 13(a)(ii) thereof, on or before the consummation of an Alternative Transaction, the Company shall pay the Break-Up Fee to Oaktree or a designated Affiliate of any Oaktree Fund, following the satisfaction of the outstanding obligations under the Prepetition Senior Facilities and the DIP Credit Agreement in full, in cash or other treatment acceptable to the Supporting Credit Facility Lenders. The Company shall direct that the Break-Up Fee is paid directly to Oaktree or a designated Affiliate of any Oaktree Fund on or before the consummation of an Alternative Transaction following the satisfaction of the outstanding obligations under the Prepetition Senior Facilities and the DIP Credit Agreement in full, in cash or other treatment acceptable to the Supporting Credit Facility Lenders; and

(iii) the Expense Reimbursement shall be paid within five (5) Business Days of invoice during the course of the Chapter 11 Case through and including the Closing Date or, in the event the Effective Date does not occur, through and including the date of termination of this Agreement. The Expense Reimbursement upon entry of the Approval Order shall be allowed administrative expense obligations of the Company under the Bankruptcy Code but shall be junior and subject to the outstanding obligations under the Prepetition Senior Facilities and the DIP Credit Agreement, including any related adequate protection obligations. The only Expense Reimbursement required to be paid by the Company prior to Closing pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)(iii), shall be the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of Oaktree (including reasonable travel expenses) and the monthly fees and expenses of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Capital, Inc. and Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP, and any additional fees relating to the consummation of any transaction (including fees of Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx Capital, Inc.) shall not be payable unless and until the Closing is consummated (it being understood that such additional fees shall be paid by the Company at the Closing).

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the consummation of the Participation Offering, if any, will not be a condition to the closing of the transactions otherwise contemplated by this Agreement, and the Participation Offering shall not otherwise impede or delay the Closing; provided that in the event that Oaktree and any Person are not able to consummate the intended participation by such Person in the Participation Offering at or prior to the Closing, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Oaktree from transferring Oaktree Commitment Shares to such Person as determined by Oaktree in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or the Restructuring Support Agreement, Oaktree shall not have the discretion to extend the Milestones with respect to the occurrence of the Closing or the Effective Date to a date that is later than that specified in the Milestones without the written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(b) At the Closing, (i) Reorganized GMR shall deliver the Oaktree Commitment Shares to be purchased by, and sold to, Oaktree pursuant to Section 2.1, (ii) Oaktree, in full payment for the Oaktree Commitment Shares to be purchased by, and sold to, Oaktree pursuant to Section 2.1, shall pay to the Company as provided in Section 2.1, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, cash in the amount equal to the Equity Investment Amount, net of the cash proceeds received by the Company in connection with a Participation Offering pursuant to Section 2.1(b), if any, to the account or accounts designated by the Company, and (iii) all other transactions contemplated by the Plan shall be consummated.

EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

12.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. All such counterparts will be deemed an original, will be construed together and will constitute one and the same instrument.

12.9 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.

12.10 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other circumstance and of the remaining provisions contained herein will not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12.11 Specific Performance. The Company and Oaktree acknowledge and agree that (a) irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, and (b) remedies at law would not be adequate to compensate the non-breaching party. Accordingly, the Company and Oaktree agree that each of them shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing its favor, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce its rights hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive and/or other equitable relief. The right to equitable relief, including specific performance or injunctive relief, shall exist notwithstanding, and shall not be limited by, any other provision of this Agreement. Each of the Company and Oaktree hereby waives any defense that a remedy at law is adequate and any requirement to post bond or other security in connection with actions instituted for injunctive relief, specific performance or other equitable remedies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated by the Company in accordance with Section 11.3(c), and (i) for so long as no material breach of this Agreement by the Company is outstanding as of the time the Company exercises such termination right, (ii) the Company subsequently consummates an Alternative Transaction, and (iii) the Company pays the Break-Up Fee and Expense Reimbursement to Oaktree in accordance with Section 2.2, then Oaktree shall have no right of specific performance under this Section 12.11 or other claim for breach of this Agreement.

12.12 Limitation on Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, payment of any and all monetary remedies to Oaktree (including equitable remedies that involve monetary damage, such as restitution of disgorgement, other than specific performance to enforce any payment or performance due hereunder) in respect of losses or damages of any kind, including, but not limited to, actual, special, consequential, incidental and punitive damages, in connection with any breach by the Company of a representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or non-performance by the Company, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement made by the Company and set forth in this Agreement shall be limited to an amount equal to $12,500,000; provided, however, that this Section 12.12 shall not be applicable to any material and intentional breach by the Company of any representation or warranty of the Company set forth in this Agreement or intentional non-performance by the Company, partial or total, of any covenant or agreement made by the Company and set forth in this Agreement.

12.13 Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements made herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement until the Closing and, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not survive the Closing. The representations, warranties, covenants, and agreements made herein shall not be affected by any examination made for or on behalf of any of the Parties or the knowledge of any of their officers, directors, securityholders, employees, agents or representative or the acceptance of any certificate or opinion; provided, however, this sentence shall not modify any representations or warranties that are made to the “knowledge”, “Knowledge” or “Actual Knowledge” of any person(s) or entity(ies). All statements as to factual matters contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be representations and warranties by the Company hereunder solely as of the date of such certificate or instrument, unless otherwise expressly indicated therein.

12.14 Schedule Updates. From and after the date hereof but in any event not later than the Closing Date, the Company shall supplement the Schedules it delivers hereunder, and deliver the same to Oaktree, with respect to any matter arising between the date hereof and the Closing Date that would be required to be disclosed on the Schedules if such representation or warranty were being made on and as of the Closing Date (except where such representation or warranty speaks by its terms as of a different date) (an “Update”). Any Update provided under this Section 12.14 or notification provided under Section 5.4 shall not correct or modify any representation, warranty or disclosure made as of the date hereof or as of the Closing Date or otherwise modify this Agreement for any purpose, including (i) for the purpose of determining whether the condition set forth in Section 9.12 has been satisfied or (ii) any of the rights of Oaktree under Section 11.2; provided, however, that the Company may update the Schedules without the prior consent of Oaktree only as follows:

(a) if the Company enters into a time charter contract, agreement or arrangement with a duration of less than six (6) months after the date hereof without the consent of Oaktree, the Company may update Schedule 3.16 to include such time charter contracts, agreements or arrangements;

(b) if the Company enters into, materially modifies or terminates any Material Contract with the prior written consent of Oaktree (or if such consent is deemed to have been given in accordance with Section 5.2), the Company may update Schedule 3.16 to reflect such entry into, material modification of or termination of such Material Contract changes; and

(c) if the Company takes any specific action, or forbears from taking any specific action, after obtaining the express prior written consent of Oaktree (it being understood that Oaktree shall not be deemed, solely for the purpose of this Section 12.14(c), to have consented to any specific action or forbearance from the taking of any specific action unless the request delivered by the Company to Oaktree in writing specifically requests consent to such specific action or forbearance), the Company may update the Schedules to reflect the fact of such specific action or the fact of such specific forbearance from action (it being understood that the Company may not update the Schedules with respect to any matter arising as a consequence of such action).

Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.14 to the contrary, in the event that the Company is permitted to make any update pursuant to clauses (a), (b) or (c) above (a “Permitted Update”), then such Permitted Update shall modify this Agreement for the purposes of determining whether (x) the closing condition set forth in Section 9.12 has been satisfied and (y) Oaktree’s rights under Section 11.2 are applicable, and such Permitted Update shall not be a basis for (A) the assertion by Oaktree of a failure of a closing condition set forth herein to be satisfied, (B) Oaktree asserting a claim for any legal remedy in equity or at law, or (C) Oaktree’s termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the action described in the written request by the Company to Oaktree must be specific and, for example, shall not include actions that are described in the DIP Budget unless the Company has separately and specifically requested consent with respect to such action.
