1. Subscription.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, Subscriber hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to issue and sell the
number of Securities to Subscriber as set forth on the signature page hereto (such subscription and issuance, the “Subscription”), upon the payment of the Purchase Price, net of an amount equal to the Discount as set forth on the signature

treated as a discount to the Purchase Price for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes. The Subscriber’s “Allocation Percentage” shall be the fraction, expressed as a percentage, equal to the Purchase Price set forth on the
signature page hereto divided by $300,000,000.
(b) If any change in the Securities or Common Stock (including the number of shares of Common Stock to be outstanding immediately following the Spin-Off) shall occur between the date hereof
and the Closing (as defined below) by reason of any reclassification, recapitalization, stock split (including reverse stock split) or combination, exchange or readjustment of shares, or any stock dividend, the number and type of Securities issued to
Subscriber (including, in respect of the Warrants, the exercise price and underlying number of shares of Common Stock) and the number of Securities shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such change.
(c) Each of the Company and Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes (i) the Net Purchase Price shall be allocated between
the Preferred Shares and the Warrants issued to Subscriber hereunder based on their relative fair market values as of the Closing Date, (ii) such allocation shall be used in determining the issue price and redemption premium of the Preferred Shares
(the “Redemption Premium”) for the purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.305-5(b) and (iii) the Warrants are part of an “investment unit” within the meaning of Section 1273(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”),
which investment unit includes the Preferred Shares. The Company and Subscriber shall, promptly following the Closing, mutually agree on the determination of such allocation, issue price and Redemption Premium in a reasonable manner.
2
(d) Each of the Company and Subscriber and their respective affiliates agrees to file all U.S. federal, state and local tax returns or other information returns in a manner consistent with
(i) the Preferred Shares being treated as equity that is “preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 305 of the Code and (ii) the Compounded Dividends (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) not being treated as “deemed” or constructive
distributions of property that result in taxable income under Section 305 of the Code to Subscriber, provided that the Compounded Dividends have not been paid or declared by the Company, unless otherwise required by a change of law subsequent to the
date hereof.
(e) The Company agrees that if, in connection with an Optional Redemption or Mandatory Redemption (each term as defined in the Certificate of Designations), it receives a letter from
Subscriber that it deems to be satisfactory, as determined in its sole good faith discretion, to the effect that Subscriber is disposing of a portion of its Series I Warrants, or Common Stock, as applicable, as part of a plan which includes the
Optional Redemption or Mandatory Redemption, it shall report such redemption in a manner consistent with a sale or exchange of such Preferred Shares (and not as a dividend) for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes, unless
otherwise required by a change in law or facts subsequent to the date hereof. Subscriber agrees to file all U.S. federal, state and local tax returns consistent with such treatment.

3
(c) Upon the transfer of the Company’s deliverables to Subscriber hereunder (or to its nominee in accordance with its delivery instructions), the Net Purchase Price will be deemed fully

respect, (B) the Company shall have irrevocably offered Subscriber (together with the subscribers under the Other Subscription Agreements, allocated in their sole discretion) a right to purchase $166,500,000 of aggregate principal amount of the
Senior Secured Notes (or such lesser amount as determined by Subscriber (together with the subscribers under the Other Subscription Agreements)) through one or more initial purchasers on terms no less favorable (including with respect to original
issue discount) than the terms offered to any other purchasers of such Senior Secured Notes (it being understood and agreed that any purchase by Subscriber of Senior Secured Notes must be at the same time as all other purchasers participating in the
offering of the Senior Secured Notes, which shall be prior to or contemporaneous with the Closing) and (C) such Senior Secured Notes do not contain any terms or provisions that deviate from the Description of Notes such that Subscriber’s exercise of
rights or remedies under the Certificate of Designations, Investors’ Rights Agreement and/or any Warrants, or the Company’s compliance with the Certificate of Designations (including the cash dividend and mandatory redemption provisions thereof),

Subscriber in writing that it or the Parent has abandoned its plans to move forward with the Spin-Off and terminates Subscriber’s obligations with respect to the subscription without the delivery of the Securities having occurred or (c) at the
election of Subscriber, if the Closing has not occurred by August 30, 2022 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that nothing herein will relieve any party from liability for any willful breach hereof prior to the time of termination, and each party will
be entitled to any remedies at law or in equity to recover losses, liabilities or damages arising from such willful breach. Without limiting the foregoing, if any termination hereof occurs, Transtar and the Company, jointly and severally, shall
promptly (but not later than one (1) business day thereafter) pay to Subscriber its Commitment Fee and if such termination occurs after the delivery by the undersigned of the Net Purchase Price for the Securities pursuant to Section 2, the Company
shall promptly (but not later than one (1) business day thereafter) return the Net Purchase Price to the undersigned without any interest or deduction for or on account of any tax, withholding, charges, or set-off; provided, however, that Subscriber
shall not be entitled to the Commitment Fee and neither the Company nor Transtar shall be obligated to pay such Commitment Fee if the material breach by Subscriber of its obligation under this Subscription Agreement shall have been the primary cause
of the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to the Outside Date. This Section 5 and Section 6 shall survive any termination of this Subscription Agreement pursuant to this Section 5. The Subscriber’s “Commitment Fee” shall be an amount equal
to (a) $9,000,000 multiplied by (b) the Subscriber’s Allocation Percentage.

0(x), (x), (x), (x), (x), (x) and (p) hereof on their own behalf and not, for the avoidance of doubt, on behalf of the Company) and others will rely on the acknowledgments, understandings,
agreements, representations and warranties contained in this Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, each party hereto agrees to promptly notify the other party hereto and the Placement Agents if any of the acknowledgments, understandings,
agreements, representations and warranties set forth herein with respect to it are no longer accurate in all material respects. Subscriber further acknowledges and agrees that the Placement Agents are third-party beneficiaries of the representations

(c) All the representations and warranties made by each party hereto in this Subscription Agreement shall survive the Closing.
(d) The Company may request from Subscriber such additional information as is reasonably necessary to evaluate the eligibility of Subscriber to acquire the Securities, and Subscriber shall
provide such information as may be reasonably requested, to the extent readily available; provided, that the Company agrees to keep any such information provided by Subscriber confidential other than
disclosure to the Company’s legal, financial or tax advisors or as necessary to include in any filing with the Commission that Parent or the Company is required to make in connection with this Subscription Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby. Subscriber acknowledges that a copy of this Subscription Agreement may be filed as exhibit to a current report, proxy statement, periodic report, registration statement or other document filed with the Commission.
21
(e) This Subscription Agreement may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated except by an instrument in writing, signed by each of the parties hereto. No failure or delay of either
party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of
conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.
(f) This Subscription Agreement (including Schedule A, Schedule B, Schedule C, Schedule D, Schedule E, Schedule F, Schedule H, Schedule
I, Exhibit A, Exhibit B, Exhibit C, Exhibit D, Exhibit E and Exhibit F attached hereto) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all other prior agreements, understandings, representations
and warranties, both written and oral, among the parties, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
(g) Except as otherwise provided herein, this Subscription Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their heirs, executors, administrators,
successors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns, and the agreements, representations, warranties, covenants and acknowledgments contained herein shall be deemed to be made by, and be binding upon, such heirs, executors, administrators,
successors, legal representatives and permitted assigns. Neither this Subscription Agreement nor any rights that may accrue to the Company hereunder may be transferred or assigned; provided, however, that each Subscriber may assign its rights and
obligations under this Subscription Agreement to one or more of its Affiliates (as such term is defined in the Investors’ Rights Agreement) with prompt written notice to the Company.
(h) If any provision of this Subscription Agreement shall be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality or
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Subscription Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and shall continue in full force and effect.
(i) This Subscription Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts (including by electronic means), all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become
effective when signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
(j) On the date hereof, Transtar and the Company, jointly and severally, shall reimburse Subscriber (and the subscribers under the Other Subscription Agreements) for any reasonably incurred
and documented out-of-pocket expenses that are incurred in connection with this Subscription Agreement (or the Other Subscription Agreements) and the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement and the Other Subscription Agreements. If
Subscriber incurs additional expenses subsequent to the date hereof, Transtar and the Company, jointly and severally, shall also reimburse such amounts within two (2) business days of receipt by the Company of reasonable documentation of such
reasonably incurred out-of-pocket expenses; provided, however, that the reasonably incurred out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed pursuant to Section 6(j) of this Agreement and of the Other Subscription Agreements, whether reimbursed on

of the Securities; (ii) the Placement Agents and their directors, officers, employees, representatives and controlling persons have made no independent investigation with respect to the Company, the Spin-Off or the Securities or the accuracy,
completeness or adequacy of any information supplied to Subscriber by the Company or Parent; and (iii) certain information provided to the Placement Agents was based on projections, and such projections were prepared based on assumptions and
estimates that are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in these projections and
that such information and projections were prepared without the participation of the Placement Agents and that the Placement Agents do not assume responsibility for independent verification of, or the accuracy or completeness of, such information or
projections.
(m) Only the parties to this Subscription Agreement shall have any obligation or liability under this Subscription Agreement. Notwithstanding anything that may be express or implied in this

other beneficial owners of Subscriber or of any such affiliate, any of their respective representatives or any of the successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, “Non-Liable Persons”), whether by enforcement of any
assessment or any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred
by any Non-Liable Person for any obligation of Subscriber under this Subscription Agreement for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation; provided that the foregoing shall not apply to any
Non-Liable Person who becomes a party to this Subscription Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof. Nothing in this Subscription Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a partnership among any of the parties hereto.
(n) Subscriber agrees that none of the Placement Agents or any of their respective affiliates, control persons, officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives shall be
liable to Subscriber (whether in contract, tort, under federal or state securities laws or otherwise) for any action heretofore or hereafter taken or omitted to be taken by any of them in connection with the sale of the Securities or with respect to
any claim for breach of this Subscription Agreement or in respect of any written or oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or for any actual or alleged inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to any
information or materials of any kind furnished by any person concerning the Company, Parent, the Placement Agents, any of their controlled affiliates, this Subscription Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. On behalf of Subscriber and
its affiliates, Subscriber releases the Placement Agents and their affiliates, control persons, officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and representatives in respect of any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards,
liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements related to the sale of the Securities. Subscriber also agrees that in connection with the issue and purchase of the Securities, the Placement Agents have not acted as Subscriber’s financial or tax advisor
or fiduciary and further releases the Placement Agents and their affiliates, control persons, officers, directors, partners, employees, agents and representatives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, of any claims that Subscriber may have against
any of such persons with respect to any breach or alleged breach of any fiduciary or similar duty to Subscriber in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Subscription Agreement or any matters leading up to such transactions. Subscriber
agrees not to commence any litigation or bring any claim against either of the Placement Agents or any of their affiliates, control persons, officers, directors, partners, employees, agents or representatives in any court or any other forum which
relates to, may arise out of, or is in connection with, the sale of the Securities. This undertaking is given freely and after obtaining independent legal advice. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Subscription Agreement to the contrary,
nothing herein shall serve as a release by Subscriber of any losses, claims, damages, obligations, penalties, judgments, awards, liabilities, costs, expenses or disbursements relating to, or arising from, fraud.

(p) The parties hereby expressly recognize and acknowledge that immediate, extensive and irreparable damage would result, no adequate remedy at law would exist, and damages would be
difficult to determine in the event that any provision of this Subscription Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or otherwise breached. Therefore, in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other remedy available to any
party hereto (whether at law, in equity, under this Subscription Agreement or otherwise), a party under this Subscription Agreement will be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof and immediate injunctive relief, without the necessity of
proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy and without bond or other security being required. Such remedies, and any and all other remedies provided for in this Subscription Agreement, will, however, be cumulative in nature and not exclusive
and will be in addition to any other remedies whatsoever which any party may otherwise have. Each of the parties hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that it may be difficult to prove damages with reasonable certainty, that it may be difficult to
procure suitable substitute performance, and that injunctive relief and/or specific performance will not cause an undue hardship to the parties. Each of the parties hereto hereby further acknowledges that the existence of any other remedy
contemplated by this Subscription Agreement does not diminish the availability of specific performance of the obligations hereunder or any other injunctive relief. Each party hereto hereby further agrees that in the event of any action by any other
party for specific performance or injunctive relief, it will not assert that a remedy at law or other remedy would be adequate or that specific performance or injunctive relief in respect of such breach or violation should not be available on the
grounds that money damages are adequate or any other grounds.
(q) This Subscription Agreement, and any claim or cause of action hereunder based upon, arising out of or related to this Subscription Agreement (whether based on law, in equity, in
contract, in tort or any other theory) or the negotiation, execution, performance or enforcement of this Subscription Agreement, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE LOCATED IN
WILMINGTON, DELAWARE SOLELY IN RESPECT OF THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, AND HEREBY WAIVE, AND AGREE NOT TO ASSERT, AS A DEFENSE IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR
PROCEEDING FOR INTERPRETATION OR ENFORCEMENT HEREOF OR THAT SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING MAY NOT BE BROUGHT OR IS NOT MAINTAINABLE IN SAID COURTS OR THAT VENUE THEREOF MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE OR THAT THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT MAY NOT BE ENFORCED
IN OR BY SUCH COURTS, AND THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AGREE THAT ALL CLAIMS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE HEARD AND DETERMINED BY SUCH A DELAWARE STATE OR FEDERAL COURT. THE PARTIES HEREBY CONSENT TO AND GRANT ANY SUCH
COURT JURISDICTION OVER THE PERSON OF SUCH PARTIES AND OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER OF SUCH DISPUTE AND AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN SECTION 6(o) OR IN
SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF.
25
EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY ARISE UNDER THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT
ISSUES, AND THEREFORE EACH SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT OR THE
TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (I) NO REPRESENTATIVE, PLACEMENT AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN
THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (II) SUCH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THE FOREGOING WAIVER; (III) SUCH PARTY MAKES THE FOREGOING WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (IV) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO
ENTER INTO THIS SUBSCRIPTION AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 6(p).
(r) No later than ten (10) days prior to the Spin-Off, the Company will prepare and deliver to Subscriber a certificate executed by a senior executive officer of the Company setting forth
the Company’s itemized good faith calculation of the HY Premium Rate (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) (the “Calculation Certificate”). Subscriber shall have seven (7) days from the date on which the Calculation Certificate is
received to review the Calculation Certificate (the “Review Period”); provided, that, if the Company fails to timely deliver the Calculation Certificate then the HY Premium Rate shall be determined by Subscriber in its reasonable
discretion by written notice to the Company as promptly as practicable following the Spin-Off. From the commencement of the Review Period until such time as the HY Premium Rate is finally determined in accordance with this paragraph, the Company
shall provide Subscriber with prompt access to all information reasonably requested by Subscriber relating to its review of the Calculation Certificate. If Subscriber disagrees with any or all of the calculations set forth in the Calculation
Certificate, Subscriber shall deliver to the Company within the Review Period a written notice of dispute (a “Dispute Notice”) which shall set forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for such dispute. Subscriber and the Company shall use
reasonable efforts to resolve any calculation raised in the Dispute Notice prior to the Spin-Off. If the Company and Subscriber do not obtain a final resolution of the HY Premium Rate prior to the Spin-Off, then the dispute shall be submitted
promptly thereafter for resolution to an independent internationally recognized accounting firm mutually selected by the Company and Subscriber acting reasonably (any such firm, as the case may be, the “Accountant”), with the fees and expenses
of such Accountant to be paid by the Company, unless the HY Premium Rate set forth in the Final Rate Report (as defined below) is less than 85% of the HY Premium Rate set forth in the Calculation Certificate, in which case the fees and expenses of
such Accountant shall be paid by Subscriber. The Company and Subscriber shall direct the Accountant to, as promptly as practicable and in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days following its retention by the Company and Subscriber, deliver to
the Company and Subscriber a written report (the “Final Rate Report”) setting forth its calculation of the HY Premium Rate. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Company and Subscriber, the Final Rate Report shall be final and binding on
the parties, absent manifest error or fraud. During the pendency of any such dispute, the HY Premium Rate shall be calculated as reasonably determined by the Company; provided, however, that if the final determination of the HY Premium Rate
(as set forth in the Final Rate Report or as otherwise agreed in writing by the parties) is such that the HY Premium Rate is greater than that reasonably determined by the Company during the pendency of such dispute then the Company and Transtar,
jointly and severally, shall promptly pay to Subscriber an amount in cash equal to the excess, if any, of (x) the Dividends (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) that would have accrued on the Preferred Shares based on the Dividend Rate (as
defined in the Certificate of Designations) assuming the HY Premium Rate as finally determined in accordance with this paragraph and (y) the Dividends that actually accrued on the Preferred Shares based on the Dividend Rate utilized by the Company
during the pendency of such dispute, in each case, assuming such dividends were not paid in cash.
(s) Subscriber has delivered or will deliver to the Company a duly executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form), and will provide any other tax-related documentation or information
reasonably requested by the Company.
