If reasonably requested by either the Requisite Commitment Parties or the Commitment Parties satisfying the definition of the “Required Supporting Secured Noteholders” set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement, from time to time prior to the Rights Offering Expiration Time (and any extensions thereto), the Company shall notify, or cause the Rights Offering Subscription Agent to notify, within forty-eight (48) hours of receipt of such request by the Company, the Commitment Parties of the aggregate number of Secured Subscription Rights known by the Company or the Rights Offering Subscription Agent to have been exercised pursuant to the Secured Rights Offering as of the most recent practicable time before such request. The Rights Offerings will be conducted on a pro rata basis in reliance upon one or more exemptions from registration under the Securities Act, which will include the exemption provided in Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code to the fullest extent available and, to the extent such exemption is not available (and with respect to the Common Shares, only in the proportion required to preserve the availability of such exemption under Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code), the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D promulgated thereunder or another available exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and the Disclosure Statement shall include an appropriate statement to such effect.

Section 2.2 The Backstop Commitment. On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including entry of the BCA Approval Order, each Unsecured Commitment Party and each Secured Commitment Party agrees, severally and not jointly, to fully exercise (or to cause certain of its and its Affiliated Funds to fully exercise) all Subscription Rights that are issued to it pursuant to the Unsecured Rights Offering and Secured Rights Offering, respectively, and duly and timely purchase all Rights Offering Shares issuable to it pursuant to such exercise, in accordance with the Rights Offering Procedures and the Plan; provided that any Defaulting Commitment Party shall be liable to each non-Defaulting Commitment Party, the Company and the Reorganized Company as a result of any breach of its obligations hereunder; provided, further that, for the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any Commitment Party does not fully exercise (or cause certain of its and its Affiliated Funds to fully exercise) all Subscription Rights that are issued to it pursuant to the Rights Offerings and duly and timely purchase all Rights Offering Shares issuable to it pursuant to such exercise, such Commitment Party shall not be permitted to elect that any Unsubscribed Shares or Available Shares purchased by such Commitment Party be issued as Preferred Shares pursuant to this Section 2.2 and Section 2.3. On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including entry of the Confirmation Order, (a) each Unsecured Commitment Party agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase (or to cause certain of its Affiliated Funds to purchase), and the Reorganized Company shall sell to such Unsecured Commitment Party (or such

Affiliated Funds), on the Closing Date for the applicable aggregate Per Equity Share Purchase Price the number of Unsecured Unsubscribed Shares equal to (x) such Unsecured Commitment Party’s Unsecured Backstop Commitment Percentage multiplied by (y) the aggregate number of Unsecured Unsubscribed Shares (such obligation to purchase, the “Unsecured Backstop Commitment”), rounded among the Unsecured Commitment Parties solely to avoid fractional shares as the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders may determine in their sole discretion (provided that in no event shall such rounding reduce the aggregate commitment of such Unsecured Commitment Parties); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Unsecured Commitment Parties purchasing such Unsecured Unsubscribed Shares shall be able to elect, in each Unsecured Commitment Party’s sole discretion, that such Unsecured Unsubscribed Shares be issued as either Common Shares or Preferred Shares (or some combination of each) and (b) each Secured Commitment Party agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase (or to cause certain of its Affiliated Funds to purchase), and the Reorganized Company shall sell to such Secured Commitment Party (or such Affiliated Funds), on the Closing Date for the applicable aggregate Per Equity Share Purchase Price the number of Secured Unsubscribed Shares equal to (x) such Secured Commitment Party’s Secured Backstop Commitment Percentage multiplied by (y) the aggregate number of Secured Unsubscribed Shares (such obligation to purchase, the “Secured Backstop Commitment”), rounded among the Secured Commitment Parties solely to avoid fractional shares as the Required Supporting Secured Noteholders may determine in their sole discretion (provided that in no event shall such rounding reduce the aggregate commitment of such Secured Commitment Parties); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secured Commitment Parties purchasing such Secured Unsubscribed Shares shall be able to elect, in each Secured Commitment Party’s sole discretion, that such Secured Unsubscribed Shares be issued as either Common Shares or Preferred Shares (or some combination of each).

Section 2.3 Commitment Party Default.

(a) Upon the occurrence of an Unsecured Commitment Party Default, the Unsecured Commitment Parties that are, or are Affiliated with, an Initial Unsecured Commitment Party (other than any Defaulting Commitment Party) shall have the right, but not the obligation, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Company to all Unsecured Commitment Parties of such Unsecured Commitment Party Default, which notice shall be given promptly following the occurrence of such Unsecured Commitment Party Default and to all Unsecured Commitment Parties concurrently (such five (5) Business Day period, the “Unsecured Commitment Party Replacement Period”), to make arrangements for one or more of the Unsecured Commitment Parties that is, or is Affiliated with, an Initial Unsecured Commitment Party (other than any Defaulting Commitment Party) to purchase all or any portion of the Unsecured Available Shares (any such purchase, and any purchase by Secured Commitment Parties pursuant to the last sentence of this paragraph, an “Unsecured Commitment Party Replacement”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in such amounts as may be agreed upon by all of the Unsecured Commitment Parties electing to purchase all or any portion of the Unsecured Available Shares, or, if no such agreement is reached, based upon the relative applicable Unsecured Backstop Commitment Percentages of any such Unsecured Commitment Parties that are, or are Affiliated with, an Initial Unsecured Commitment Party (other than any Defaulting Commitment Party) (such Commitment Parties, and any Secured Commitment Parties that purchase Unsecured Available Shares pursuant to the last sentence of this paragraph, the “Unsecured Replacing Commitment Parties”); provided, that,

notwithstanding the foregoing, the Unsecured Commitment Parties purchasing such Unsecured Available Shares shall be able to elect, in each Unsecured Commitment Party’s sole discretion, that such Unsecured Available Shares be issued as either Common Shares or Preferred Shares (or some combination of each). In the event the Unsecured Commitment Parties do not elect to purchase all of the Unsecured Available Shares pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Company shall give prompt written notice thereof to each of the Secured Commitment Parties that have the right to purchase Secured Available Shares pursuant to Section 2.3(b), and such Secured Commitment Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all or any portion of the remaining Unsecured Available Shares on the same terms and conditions as if they were Secured Available Shares under Section 2.3(b) within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice from the Company.

(b) Upon the occurrence of a Secured Commitment Party Default, the Secured Commitment Parties that are, or are Affiliated with, an Initial Secured Commitment Party (other than any Defaulting Commitment Party) shall have the right, but not the obligation, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Company to all Secured Commitment Parties of such Secured Commitment Party Default, which notice shall be given promptly following the occurrence of such Secured Commitment Party Default and to all Secured Commitment Parties concurrently (such five (5) Business Day period, the “Secured Commitment Party Replacement Period” and, together with the Unsecured Commitment Party Replacement Period, the “Commitment Party Replacement Period”), to make arrangements for one or more of the Secured Commitment Parties that is, or is Affiliated with, an Initial Secured Commitment Party (other than any Defaulting Commitment Party) to purchase all or any portion of the Secured Available Shares (any such purchase, and any purchase by Unsecured Commitment Parties pursuant to the last sentence of this paragraph, a “Secured Commitment Party Replacement” and, together with the Unsecured Commitment Party Replacement and any purchase of Available Shares pursuant to Section 2.3(a), the “Commitment Party Replacement”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in such amounts as may be agreed upon by all of the Secured Commitment Parties electing to purchase all or any portion of the Secured Available Shares, or, if no such agreement is reached, based upon the relative applicable Secured Backstop Commitment Percentages of any such Secured Commitment Parties that are, or are Affiliated with, an Initial Secured Commitment Party (other than the Defaulting Commitment Party) (such Commitment Parties, and any Unsecured Commitment Parties that purchase Secured Available Shares pursuant to the last sentence of this paragraph, the “Secured Replacing Commitment Parties” and, together with the Unsecured Replacing Commitment Parties and any Commitment Party that purchases Available Shares pursuant to Section 2.3(a), the “Replacing Commitment Parties”); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Secured Commitment Parties purchasing such Secured Available Shares shall be able to elect, in each Secured Commitment Party’s sole discretion, that such Secured Available Shares be issued as either Common Shares or Preferred Shares (or some combination of each). In the event the Secured Commitment Parties do not elect to purchase all of the Secured Available Shares pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, the Company shall give prompt written notice thereof to each of the Unsecured Commitment Parties that have the right to purchase Unsecured Available Shares pursuant to Section 2.3(a), and such Unsecured Commitment Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase all or any portion of the remaining Secured Available Shares on the same terms and conditions as if they were Unsecured Available Shares under Section 2.3(a) within five (5) Business Days of receiving notice from the Company.

(c) In the event the Unsecured Commitment Parties and the Secured Commitment Parties do not elect to purchase all of the Unsecured Available Shares pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and all of the Secured Available Shares pursuant to Section 2.3(b), the Company shall give prompt written notice thereof to each of the Commitment Parties, and each Commitment Party (other than any Defaulting Commitment Party) shall have the right, but not the obligation, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such notice to make arrangements for one or more of the Commitment Parties (other than any Defaulting Commitment Party) to purchase all or any portion of the remaining Available Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in such amounts as may be agreed upon by all of the Commitment Parties electing to purchase all or any portion of such Available Shares, or, if no such agreement is reached, based upon the relative applicable Backstop Commitment Percentages of any such Commitment Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 2.3 shall relieve any Commitment Party of its obligation to fulfill its Backstop Commitment.

(d) In the event that any Available Shares are available for purchase pursuant to Section 2.3(a) and the Commitment Parties do not elect to purchase all such Available Shares pursuant to the provisions thereof, the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to utilize the Cover Transaction Period to consummate a Cover Transaction. As used herein, “Cover Transaction” means a circumstance in which the Company, in its sole discretion, arranges for the sale of all or any portion of the Available Shares to any other Person, on terms and conditions substantially similar to the Backstop Commitment and the other terms and conditions applicable to the Commitment Parties in their obligation to purchase Available Shares pursuant to this Agreement, during the Cover Transaction Period, and “Cover Transaction Period” means the ten (10) Business Day period following expiration of the five (5) Business Day period specified in Section 2.3(a); provided, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Outside Date shall not be extended automatically as a result of the existence of a Cover Transaction Period and, subject to the final sentence of the following Section 2.3(e), the Cover Transaction Period shall expire on or before the Outside Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s election to pursue a Cover Transaction, whether or not consummated, shall not relieve any Commitment Party of its obligation to fulfill its Backstop Commitment.

(e) Any Available Shares purchased by a Replacing Commitment Party (and any commitment and applicable aggregate Per Equity Share Purchase Price associated therewith) shall be included, among other things, in the determination of (x) the Unsecured Unsubscribed Shares or Secured Unsubscribed Shares of such Unsecured Replacing Commitment Party or Secured Replacing Commitment Party, respectively, for all purposes hereunder, (y) the Backstop Commitment Percentage of such Replacing Commitment Party for purposes of Section 2.3(g), Section 2.4(b), Section 3.1 and Section 3.2 and (z) the Backstop Commitment of such Replacing Commitment Party for purposes of the definition of “Requisite Commitment Parties”. If a Commitment Party Default occurs, the Outside Date shall be delayed only to the extent necessary to allow for (i) the Commitment Party Replacement to be completed within the Commitment Party Replacement Period and/or (ii), if applicable, the Cover Transaction to be completed within the Cover Transaction Period.

(f) If a Commitment Party is a Defaulting Commitment Party, it shall not be entitled to, and shall be deemed to have irrevocably forfeited its rights to, (i) purchase or otherwise receive any of the Available Shares and (ii) receive any of the Backstop Commitment Fee or Termination Commitment Premium hereunder, as applicable. Any portion of the Backstop Commitment Fee or Termination Commitment Premium, as applicable, otherwise payable to any Defaulting Commitment Party except for such Commitment Party Default shall be paid pro rata to any Replacing Commitment Party.

(g) Except as set forth in this Agreement, no Commitment Party shall have any liability for the Backstop Commitment of any other Commitment Party or for any breach or default of any other Commitment Party hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require a Commitment Party to purchase more than its Backstop Commitment Percentage of the Unsubscribed Shares.

(h) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.4 but subject to Section 10.10, no provision of this Agreement shall relieve any Defaulting Commitment Party from liability hereunder, or limit the availability of the remedies set forth in Section 10.9, in connection with any such Defaulting Commitment Party’s Commitment Party Default.

Section 2.4 Escrow Account Funding.

(a) Funding Notice. No later than the seventh (7th) Business Day following the Rights Offering Expiration Time, the Rights Offering Subscription Agent shall, on behalf of the Company, deliver to each Commitment Party a written notice (the “Funding Notice,” and the date of such delivery, the “Funding Notice Date”) setting forth (i) the number of Unsecured Rights Offering Shares and the number of Secured Rights Offering Shares elected to be purchased by the Rights Offering Participants, and the aggregate Per Equity Share Purchase Price therefor in each case; (ii) the aggregate number of Unsecured Unsubscribed Shares and the aggregate number of Secured Unsubscribed Shares, if any, and the aggregate Per Equity Share Purchase Price therefor in each case; (iii) the aggregate number of Unsecured Rights Offering Shares and/or Secured Rights Offering Shares, as applicable (based upon such Commitment Party’s Unsecured Backstop Commitment Percentage and/or Secured Backstop Commitment Percentage, as applicable) to be issued and sold by the Reorganized Company to such Commitment Party on account of any Unsecured Unsubscribed Shares and/or Secured Unsubscribed Shares, as applicable, and the aggregate Per Equity Share Purchase Price therefor; (iv) if applicable, the number of Unsecured Rights Offering Shares and/or Secured Rights Offering Shares, as applicable, such Commitment Party is subscribed for in the Rights Offerings and for which such Commitment Party had not yet paid to the Rights Offering Subscription Agent the aggregate Per Equity Share Purchase Price therefor; and (v) subject to the last sentence of Section 2.4(b), the escrow account designated in escrow agreements satisfactory to the Requisite Commitment Parties and the Company, each acting reasonably, to which such Commitment Party shall deliver and pay the aggregate Per Equity Share Purchase Price for such Commitment Party’s Unsecured Backstop Commitment Percentage and/or Secured Backstop Commitment Percentage of the Unsecured Unsubscribed Shares and/or Secured Unsubscribed Shares, as applicable, and, if applicable, the aggregate Per Equity Share Purchase Price for the Unsecured Rights Offering Shares and/or Secured Rights Offering Shares such Commitment Party has subscribed for in the Rights Offerings (the “Escrow Account”). The Company shall promptly direct the Rights Offering Subscription Agent to promptly provide any written backup, information and documentation relating to the information contained in the applicable Funding Notice as any Commitment Party may reasonably request.

(b) Escrow Account Funding. On the date agreed with the Requisite Commitment Parties pursuant to escrow agreements satisfactory to the Requisite Commitment Parties and the Company, each acting reasonably (the “Escrow Account Funding Date”), each Commitment Party shall deliver and pay an amount equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate Per Equity Share Purchase Price for such Commitment Party’s Unsecured Backstop Commitment Percentage and/or Secured Backstop Commitment Percentage of the Unsecured Unsubscribed Shares and/or Secured Unsubscribed Shares, as applicable, plus (ii) the aggregate Per Common Share Equity Rights Offering Price for the Common Shares and Per Preferred Share Equity Rights Offering Price for the Preferred Shares issuable pursuant to such Commitment Party’s exercise of all the Subscription Rights issued to it (or its Affiliated Funds) in the Rights Offerings, by wire transfer of immediately available funds in U.S. dollars into the Escrow Account in satisfaction of such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment and its obligation to fully exercise its Subscription Rights; provided, that in no event shall the Escrow Account Funding Date be less than four (4) Business Days after the Funding Notice Date or more than five (5) Business Days prior to the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all payments contemplated to be made by any Commitment Party to the Escrow Account pursuant to this Section 2.4 may instead be made, at the option of such Commitment Party, to a segregated bank account of the Rights Offering Subscription Agent designated by the Rights Offering Subscription Agent in the Funding Notice and shall be delivered and paid to such account on the Escrow Account Funding Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any Commitment Party that fails to fulfill its obligation to fully deliver and pay the aggregate Per Equity Share Purchase Price for such Commitment Party’s Unsecured Backstop Commitment Percentage and/or Secured Backstop Commitment Percentage of any Unsecured Unsubscribed Shares and/or Secured Unsubscribed Shares, as applicable, or fully exercise such Commitment Party’s Subscription Rights and duly purchase all of the Common Shares and Preferred Shares issuable to it pursuant to such exercise on the Escrow Account Funding Date, as applicable, shall be deemed a Defaulting Commitment Party.

Section 2.5 Closing.

(a) Subject to Article VII and Article IX, unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing between the Company and the Requisite Commitment Parties, the closing of the Backstop Commitments (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Wachtell, Lipton, Xxxxx & Xxxx, at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which all of the conditions set forth in Article VII shall have been satisfied or waived in accordance with this Agreement (other than conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or waiver of such conditions). The date on which the Closing actually occurs shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date”.

(b) At the Closing, the funds held in the Escrow Account (and any amounts paid to a Rights Offering Subscription Agent bank account pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.4(b)) shall, as applicable, be released and utilized in accordance with the Plan.

(c) At the Closing, issuance of the Unsubscribed Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Available Shares purchased by a Replacing Commitment Party) will be made by the Reorganized Company to each Commitment Party (or to its designee in accordance with Section 2.6(a)) against payment of the aggregate Per Equity Share Purchase Price for the Unsubscribed Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Available Shares purchased by a

Replacing Commitment Party) purchased by such Commitment Party, in satisfaction of such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment. Unless a Commitment Party requests delivery of a physical stock certificate, the entry of any Unsubscribed Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Available Shares purchased by a Replacing Commitment Party) to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) into the account of a Commitment Party pursuant to the Reorganized Company’s book entry procedures and delivery to such Commitment Party of an account statement reflecting the book entry of such Unsubscribed Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Available Shares purchased by a Replacing Commitment Party) shall be deemed delivery of such Unsubscribed Shares for purposes of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, all Unsubscribed Shares (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Available Shares purchased by a Replacing Commitment Party) will be delivered with all issue, stamp, transfer, sales and use, or similar transfer Taxes or duties that are due and payable (if any) in connection with such delivery duly paid by the Company on behalf of the Reorganized Company.

Section 2.6 Designation and Assignment Rights.

(a) Each Commitment Party shall have the right to designate by written notice to the Company no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date that some or all of the Unsubscribed Shares that it is obligated to purchase hereunder be issued in the name of, and delivered to, one or more of its Affiliates or Affiliated Funds (other than any portfolio company of such Commitment Party or its Affiliates) (each, a “Related Purchaser”) upon receipt by the Company of payment therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, which notice of designation shall (i) be addressed to the Company and signed by such Commitment Party and each such Related Purchaser, (ii) specify the number of Unsubscribed Shares to be delivered to or issued in the name of such Related Purchaser and (iii) contain a confirmation by each such Related Purchaser of the accuracy of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 5.6 through 5.9 as if such Related Purchaser was a Commitment Party; provided, that no such designation pursuant to this Section 2.6(a) shall relieve such Commitment Party from its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement.

(b) No Commitment Party shall be entitled to Transfer all or any portion of its Backstop Commitment except as expressly provided in this Section 2.6(b) or Section 2.6(c). Each Commitment Party shall have the right to Transfer all or any portion of its Backstop Commitment to (i) an Affiliated Fund of the transferring Commitment Party, (ii) one or more Commitment Parties or one or more Affiliated Funds of any such Commitment Parties (including any Additional Commitment Party or any Affiliated Fund thereof); provided, that any such transferee Commitment Party (or if an Affiliated Fund, then such Affiliated Fund) shall be party to and fully bound by, and subject to, this Agreement at the time of such Transfer; and provided, further, that such Transfer could not in good faith reasonably be expected (as reasonably determined by the Company in consultation with its outside counsel) to materially delay or jeopardize the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (iii) one or more special purpose vehicles that are wholly owned by one or more of such Commitment Parties and its Affiliated Funds or any other Commitment Party and its Affiliated Funds, in either case created for the purpose of holding such Backstop Commitment or holding debt or equity of the Debtors, provided, that such Transfer could not in good faith reasonably be expected (as reasonably determined by the Company in consultation with its outside counsel) to materially delay or jeopardize the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and provided,

further, that such Commitment Party or, in the case of a transfer to a special purpose vehicle wholly owned by another Commitment Party or any of its Affiliated Funds, such other Commitment Party or its Affiliated Funds, as applicable, either (A) shall have provided an adequate equity support letter or a guarantee of such special purpose vehicle’s Backstop Commitment, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company or (B) shall remain or, in the case of a transfer to a special purpose vehicle wholly owned by another Commitment Party or any of its Affiliated Funds, such other Commitment Party or its Affiliated Funds, as applicable, shall become fully obligated to fund such Backstop Commitment; provided, further that such special purpose vehicle shall not be related to or Affiliated with any portfolio company of such Commitment Party or any of its Affiliates or Affiliated Funds (other than solely by virtue of its affiliation with such Commitment Party) and the equity of such special purpose vehicle shall not be directly or indirectly transferable other than to such Persons described in clauses (i) or (iii) of this Section 2.6(b), and in such manner as such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment is transferable pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) (each of the Persons referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), an “Ultimate Purchaser”). In each case of a Commitment Party’s Transfer of all or any portion of its Backstop Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.6(b), (1) the Ultimate Purchaser shall have provided a written agreement to the Company under which it (x) confirms the accuracy of the representations set forth in Article V as applied to such Ultimate Purchaser, (y) agrees to purchase such portion of such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment and (z) agrees to be fully bound by, and subject to, this Agreement as a Commitment Party hereto pursuant to a joinder agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit B hereto or otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company (a “Joinder Agreement”), and (2) the transferring Commitment Party and the Ultimate Purchaser shall have duly executed and delivered to the Company, Xxxxxxxx and DPW (at the addresses set forth in Section 10.1) written notice of such Transfer; provided, however, that no such Transfer shall relieve the transferring Commitment Party from any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, that the transferring Commitment Party shall remain fully obligated to fund its Backstop Commitment. Other than as set forth in this Section 2.6(b) and Section 2.6(c), no Commitment Party shall be permitted to Transfer all or any portion of its Backstop Commitment without the prior written consent of the Company, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(c) In addition to Transfers pursuant to Section 2.6(b), each Commitment Party shall have the right to Transfer, directly or indirectly, all or any portion of its Backstop Commitment to any other Person; provided, that such transferee and the transferring Commitment Party shall have duly executed and delivered to the Company written notice of such Transfer in substantially the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, and the Company shall have delivered countersigned copies of such notice to such transferee and the transferring Commitment Party and to Xxxxxxxx and DPW (at the addresses set forth in Section 10.1), and (i) with respect any Transfer of a Backstop Commitment to a single transferee, the amount of such Backstop Commitment is no less than (a) 0.2%, as compared to the aggregate Backstop Commitment of all Commitment Parties (the “Aggregate Backstop Commitment Percentage”), or (b) all of the Backstop Commitment of such Commitment Party or the Backstop Commitment of any fund or account on behalf of which such Commitment Party is acting (if such Commitment Party, fund or account holds a Backstop Commitment representing less than 0.2% of the Aggregate Backstop Commitment Percentage of all Commitment Parties) and (ii) with respect to any transferee that is not a Commitment Party, such transferee agrees, (x) pursuant to a Joinder Agreement, to be bound by the obligations of such

Commitment Party under this Agreement and (y) pursuant to an agreement in substantially the form attached as Exhibit C hereto, to be bound by the obligations under the Restructuring Support Agreement with respect to all Notes held by such transferee after giving effect to such Transfer, and provided, further, that such transferee and the transferring Commitment Party shall have provided evidence to the Company (which evidence is reasonably satisfactory to the Company) that such transferee is reasonably capable of fulfilling such obligations, or, alternatively, the proposed transferee shall have deposited with an agent of the Company or into an escrow account under arrangements satisfactory to the Company funds sufficient, in the reasonable determination of the Company, to satisfy such proposed transferee’s Backstop Commitment; and provided, further, that such Transfer could not in good faith reasonably be expected (as reasonably determined by the Company in consultation with its outside counsel) to materially delay or jeopardize the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Upon compliance with this Section 2.6(c), the transferring Commitment Party shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations, except for any claim for breach of this Agreement that occurs prior to such Transfer) under this Agreement to the extent of such transferred rights and obligations, and the transferee shall become an Additional Commitment Party and be fully bound as a Commitment Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

(d) Any Transfer made in violation of this Agreement shall be deemed null and void ab initio and of no force or effect, regardless of any prior notice provided to the Parties or any Commitment Party, and shall not create any obligation or liability of any Company Group Member or any other Commitment Party to the purported transferee. Upon the effectiveness of any Transfer of a Backstop Commitment pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall update Schedule 1A or Schedule 1B, as applicable, to reflect such Transfer, and such updates shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement or otherwise be subject to any provision of this Agreement that applies to amendments of this Agreement. Each Commitment Party, severally and not jointly, agrees that it will not Transfer, at any time prior to the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person other than in accordance with this Section 2.6. After the Closing Date, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict in any way the ability of any Commitment Party (or any permitted transferee thereof) to Transfer any of the Common Shares or Preferred Shares or any interest therein; provided, that any such Transfer shall be made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements thereunder and pursuant to applicable securities Laws. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall prohibit or restrict the ability of any Commitment Party to Transfer its Notes at any time to any person; provided, however, that any Transfer of Notes by a Commitment Party shall be in accordance with the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement.

Section 2.7 Conversion of Common Shares. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreements, (i) if the Secured Commitment Parties, collectively, will be issued a higher proportion of Preferred Shares to Common Shares than the Unsecured Commitment Parties, collectively, then a pro rata proportion of each Unsecured Commitment Party’s Common Shares will be converted to Preferred Shares so that the Unsecured Commitment Parties, collectively, will be issued the same proportion of Preferred Shares to Common Shares as the Secured Commitment Parties, collectively, and (ii) if the Unsecured Commitment Parties, collectively, will be issued a

higher proportion of Preferred Shares to Common Shares than the Secured Commitment Parties, collectively, then a pro rata proportion of each Secured Commitment Party’s Common Shares will be converted to Preferred Shares so that the Secured Commitment Parties, collectively, will be issued the same proportion of Preferred Shares to Common Shares as the Unsecured Commitment Parties, collectively; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such conversion pursuant to this sentence shall be one Preferred Share for each Common Share converted; provided, further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, a Commitment Party may elect, at such Commitment Party’s sole discretion, to decline such conversion and keep such Commitment Party’s Common Shares.

ARTICLE III

BACKSTOP COMMITMENT FEE AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT

Section 3.1 Commitment Fee Payable by the Company. Subject to Section 3.2, in consideration for the Backstop Commitment and the other agreements of the Commitment Parties in this Agreement, the Debtors shall pay or cause to be paid a nonrefundable aggregate premium equal to ten (10%) percent of the aggregate amount of the Rights Offerings, excluding any oversubscription amounts, to the Commitment Parties in the following amounts: (a) an amount in, at the election of the Unsecured Commitment Parties, Common Shares or Preferred Shares equal to ten (10%) percent of the Unsecured Rights Offering Amount, payable in accordance with Section 3.2, to the Unsecured Commitment Parties (including any Unsecured Replacing Commitment Party, but excluding any Defaulting Commitment Party) or their designees based upon their respective Unsecured Backstop Commitment Percentages at the time such payment is made (the “Unsecured Commitment Premium”) and (b) an amount in, at the election of the Secured Commitment Parties, Common Stock or Preferred Stock equal to ten (10%) percent of the Secured Rights Offering Amount, excluding any oversubscription amounts, payable in accordance with Section 3.2, to the Secured Commitment Parties (including any Secured Replacing Commitment Party, but excluding any Defaulting Commitment Party) or their designees based upon their respective Secured Backstop Commitment Percentages at the time such payment is made (the “Secured Commitment Premium” and, together with the Unsecured Commitment Premium, the “Backstop Commitment Fee”); provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Backstop Commitment Fee becomes payable pursuant to Section 9.4(b) prior to the Effective Date, (x) the Unsecured Commitment Premium shall be reduced to an amount in cash equal to five (5%) percent of the Unsecured Rights Offering Amount, including any oversubscription amounts (“Unsecured Termination Commitment Premium”), and (y) the Secured Commitment Premium shall be reduced to an amount in cash equal to five (5%) percent of the Secured Rights Offering Amount, including any oversubscription amounts (the “Secured Termination Commitment Premium” and, together with the Unsecured Commitment Premium, the “Termination Commitment Premium”). The provisions for the payment of the Backstop Commitment Fee and Expense Reimbursement, and the indemnification provided herein, are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Commitment Parties would not have entered into this Agreement.

Section 3.2 Payment of Backstop Commitment Fee. The Backstop Commitment Fee shall be fully earned, nonrefundable and non-avoidable upon entry of the BCA Approval Order, and shall be paid by the Debtors, free and clear of any withholding or deduction for any applicable Taxes, on the earlier of the Effective Date or the valid termination of this

Agreement pursuant to Article IX, or, if the Backstop Commitment Fee becomes payable pursuant to Section 9.4(b), within the time specified therein.

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION

Section 8.1 Indemnification Obligations. Following the entry of the BCA Approval Order, the Company, the Reorganized Company and the other Debtors (the “Indemnifying Parties” and each, an “Indemnifying Party”) shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Commitment Party and its Affiliates, equity holders, members, partners, general partners, managers and its and their respective Representatives and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and costs and expenses (other than Taxes of the Commitment Parties except to the extent otherwise provided for in this Agreement) arising out of a claim asserted by a third party (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Indemnified Person may incur or to which any such

Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and its obligations hereunder, including the Backstop Commitment, the Rights Offerings, the payment of the Backstop Commitment Fee, the payment of the Termination Commitment Premium or the use of the proceeds of the Rights Offerings, or any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Company, the Reorganized Company, the other Debtors, their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Person, and reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for reasonable documented (with such documentation subject to redaction to preserve attorney client and work product privileges) legal or other third-party out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth herein), irrespective of whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Plan are consummated or whether or not this Agreement is terminated; provided, that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Losses (a) as to a Defaulting Commitment Party, its Related Parties or any Indemnified Person related thereto, caused by a Commitment Party Default by such Commitment Party, or (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person.

Section 8.2 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that (a) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (b) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article VIII. In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, at its election by providing written notice to such Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided, that if the parties (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person’s counsel there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof or participation therein (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (i) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the

immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to such Indemnified Claims (in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel is required)), (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of commencement of the Indemnified Claims from, or delivered on behalf of, the Indemnified Person, (iii) after the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Indemnified Claims, the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend such claim and provides written notice of such determination and the basis for such determination, and such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice, or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company Group Members shall have sole control over any Tax controversy or Tax audit and shall be permitted to settle any liability for Taxes of the Company Group Members.

Section 8.3 Settlement of Indemnified Claims. In connection with any Indemnified Claim for which an Indemnified Person is assuming the defense in accordance with this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected by such Indemnified Person without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If any settlement of any Indemnified Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Indemnified Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent such Losses are otherwise subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, this Article VIII. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall be granted or withheld, conditioned or delayed in the Indemnified Person’s sole discretion), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified Claims and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.

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

the Unsubscribed Shares in the Rights Offerings contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan bears to (b) the Backstop Commitment Fee paid or proposed to be paid to the Commitment Parties. The Indemnifying Parties also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability based on their comparative or contributory negligence or otherwise to the Indemnifying Parties, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any of the Indemnifying Parties, or any other Person in connection with an Indemnified Claim.

Section 8.5 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this Article VIII shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the Per Equity Share Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. The provisions of this Article VIII are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Commitment Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. The BCA Approval Order shall provide that the obligations of the Company and the Reorganized Company under this Article VIII shall constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estate under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code and are payable without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court, and that the Company and the Reorganized Company may comply with the requirements of this Article VIII without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court.

Section 9.3 Termination by the Company.

This Agreement may be terminated by the Company upon written notice to each Commitment Party upon the occurrence of any of the following Events, subject to the rights of the Company to fully and conditionally waive, in writing, on a prospective or retroactive basis the occurrence of such Event (each, a “Xxxxxxx Termination Event”):

(a) any Law or final and non-appealable Order shall have been enacted, adopted or issued by any Governmental Entity that prohibits the implementation of the Plan or any Rights Offering or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the other Transaction Agreements;

(b) subject to the right of the Commitment Parties to arrange a Commitment Party Replacement in accordance with Section 2.3(a) (which will be deemed to cure any breach by the replaced Commitment Party pursuant to this Section 9.3(b)), (i) any Commitment Party shall have materially breached any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement made by such Commitment Party in this Agreement or any such representation or warranty shall have become inaccurate after the date of this Agreement and such breach or inaccuracy would, individually or in the aggregate, cause a condition set forth in Section 7.3(h) or Section 7.3(i) not to be satisfied, (ii) the Company shall have delivered written notice of such material breach or inaccuracy to such Commitment Party, (iii) such material breach or inaccuracy is not cured by such Commitment Party by the tenth (10th) Business Day after receipt of such notice, and (iv) as a result of such failure to cure, any condition set forth in Section 7.3(h) or Section 7.3(i) is not capable of being satisfied; provided, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.3(b) if it is then in material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other agreement hereunder that would result in the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.1 being satisfied;

(c) the board of directors of the Company determines that continued performance under this Agreement (including taking any action or refraining from taking any action and including, without limitation, the Plan or solicitation of the Plan) would be inconsistent with the exercise of its fiduciary duties (as reasonably determined by such entity in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and based on the advice of such counsel);

(d) the Closing Date has not occurred by the Outside Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 9.2(a) or Section 2.3(e)), unless prior thereto the Effective Date occurs and each Rights Offering has been consummated; provided, that the Company shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.3(c) if it is then in willful or intentional breach of this Agreement; or

(e) pursuant to Section 6.03(e) of the Restructuring Support Agreement.

Section 9.4 Effect of Termination.

(a) Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article IX, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no further obligations or liabilities on the part of the Parties; provided, that (i) the obligations of the Debtors to pay the Expense Reimbursement pursuant to Section 3.3(b) and to satisfy their indemnification obligations pursuant to Article VIII and to pay the Termination Commitment Premium pursuant to Section 9.4(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect, in each case, until such obligations have been satisfied, (ii) the provisions set forth in Article VIII, this Section 9.4 and Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms and subject to any Order of the Bankruptcy Court and (iii) subject to Section 10.10, nothing in this Section 9.4 shall relieve any Party from liability for its gross negligence or any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful or intentional breach” means a breach of this Agreement that is a consequence of an act undertaken by the breaching Party with the knowledge that the taking of such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement.

(b) If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than (w) as a result of any breach by a Commitment Party of any of the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement which results, directly or indirectly, in the termination of this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, (x) by the Company pursuant to Section 9.3(b), (y) pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement at a time when the Company had (or would have had, subject to the passage of time and the failure to cure the underlying breach) the right to terminate pursuant to Section 9.3(b), or (z) automatically or by the Commitment Parties pursuant to Section 9.2(a), or by the Company pursuant to Section 9.3(d), solely in the event that all of the conditions to Closing set out in Article VII have been satisfied as of the date the Agreement is terminated (other than those conditions that by their terms are to be satisfied at the Closing, to the extent such conditions are at such time reasonably expected to be satisfied at the Closing, if the Closing were to occur on such date) other than one or more of the conditions, as the case may be, set forth in Section 7.1(j), Section 7.1(r) or Section 7.3(f), then the Debtors shall, three (3) Business Days after the earlier of (i) the consummation of an Alternative Transaction and (ii) the effective date of a plan of reorganization to be filed in the Chapter 11 Cases, pay the Termination Commitment Premium to the Commitment Parties or their designees entirely in immediately available federal funds (in each case by wire transfer to an account designated by the applicable Commitment Party or their designee), in accordance with Section 3.1 and Section 3.2. To the extent that all amounts due in respect of the

Termination Commitment Premium pursuant to this Section 9.4(b) have actually been paid by the Debtors to the Commitment Parties in connection with a termination of this Agreement, the Commitment Parties shall not have any additional recourse against the Debtors for any obligations or liabilities relating to or arising from this Agreement, pursuant to Section 9.4(a). Except as set forth in this Section 9.4(b), the Termination Commitment Premium shall not be payable upon the termination of this Agreement prior to the Effective Date. The Termination Commitment Premium shall, pursuant to the BCA Approval Order, constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estate under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code, which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall be pari passu with all other administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estate.

Section 10.4 Governing Law; Venue. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO SUCH STATE’S CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO AN ADDRESS PROVIDED IN WRITING BY THE RECIPIENT OF SUCH MAILING, OR IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW, SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO SERVICE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED.

Section 10.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed through the use of electronic signature and in any number of counterparts, all of which will be considered an original and one and the same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed (electronically or otherwise) by each of the Parties and delivered to each other Party (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission), it being understood that each Party need not sign the same counterpart.

Section 10.7 Waivers and Amendments; Rights Cumulative; Consent. This Agreement may be amended, restated, modified, changed, supplemented or altered only by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Requisite Commitment Parties; provided, that (a) any Commitment Party’s (other than any Defaulting Commitment Party) prior written consent shall be required for any amendment, restatement, modification, change, supplement or alternation that would, directly or indirectly: (i) modify such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage, (ii) increase the Per Common Share Equity Rights Offering Price or the Per Preferred Share Equity Rights Offering Price, (iii) decrease the Backstop Commitment Fee or adversely modify in any material respect the method of payment thereof, (iv) increase the Backstop Commitment of such Commitment Party or (v) have a materially adverse and disproportionate effect on such Commitment Party; (b) no amendment, modification, change, supplement or alteration to any provision of this Agreement that is defined by reference to the Restructuring Support Agreement may be made without the requisite approval set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement and this Agreement; (c) no amendment, modification, change, supplement or alteration to any provision of Article IX (or any definition used therein) may be made without the approval of the Required Supporting Secured Noteholders and the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders (each as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement), and (d) no amendment or modification of the rights or obligations of the Unsecured Commitment Parties or the Secured Commitment Parties or the terms of the Unsecured Rights Offering or the Secured Rights Offering as set forth under this Agreement may be made unless either (i) such amendments or modifications are applied to the rights or obligations of each of the Unsecured Commitment Parties and the Secured Commitment Parties mutatis mutandis or applied to the terms of the Unsecured Rights Offering and the Secured Rights Offering mutatis mutandis, as applicable or (ii) Unsecured Commitment Parties holding at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate Unsecured Backstop Commitment Percentage and Secured Commitment Parties holding at least 66 2/3% of the aggregate Secured Backstop Commitment Percentage consent to such amendment or modification.

The terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.3, the waiver of which shall be governed solely by Article VII) may be waived (A) by the Debtors only by a written instrument executed by the Company and (B) by the Requisite Commitment Parties only by a written instrument executed by the Requisite Commitment Parties. No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any Party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement. Any proposed amendment, restatement, modification, change, alteration, supplement or waiver that does not comply with this Section 10.7 shall be ineffective and void ab initio.

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

Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, no right or remedy described or provided in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive or to preclude a Party from pursuing other rights and remedies to the extent available under this Agreement, at law or in equity.

Section 10.10 Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Parties will be liable for, and none of the Parties shall claim or seek to recover, any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages or damages for lost profits.

Section 10.11 No Reliance. No Commitment Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duties or obligations to the other Commitment Parties in respect of this Agreement, the Plan or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Commitment Party or any of its Related Parties shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties to the other Commitment Parties, (b) no Commitment Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers on behalf of any other Commitment Party, (c) no Commitment Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duty to the other Commitment Parties to obtain, through the exercise of diligence or otherwise, to investigate, confirm, or disclose to the other Commitment Parties any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that may have been communicated to or obtained by such Commitment Party or any of its Affiliates in any capacity, (d) no Commitment Party may rely, and each Commitment Party confirms that it has not relied, on any due diligence investigation that any other Commitment Party or any Person acting on behalf of such other Commitment Party may have conducted with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective securities, and (e) each Commitment Party acknowledges that no other Commitment Party is acting as a placement agent, initial purchaser, underwriter, broker or finder with respect to its Unsubscribed Shares or Backstop Commitment Percentage of its Backstop Commitment.

Section 10.12 Publicity. Other than as may be required by applicable Law or the rules and regulations of any securities exchange, at all times prior to the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Commitment Parties shall reasonably and in good faith consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases (and provide each other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such release) or otherwise making similar public announcements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, it being understood that nothing in this Section 10.12 shall prohibit any Party from filing any motions or other pleadings or documents with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases or making any other filings or public announcements as may be required by applicable Law. For the avoidance of doubt, each party shall have the right, without any obligation to the other parties, to decline to comment to the press with respect to this Agreement.

Section 10.13 Settlement Discussions. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are part of a proposed settlement of a dispute between the Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Section 408 of the U.S. Federal Rules of Evidence and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any Legal Proceeding, except to the extent filed with, or disclosed to, the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases (other than a Legal Proceeding to approve or enforce the terms of this Agreement).

Section 10.14 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Parties may be partnerships or limited liability companies, each Party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any Party’s Affiliates, or any of such Party’s Affiliates’ or respective Related Parties, in each case, other than the Parties to this Agreement and each of their respective successors and permitted assignees based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement, whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any 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 of the Related Parties, as such, for any obligation or liability of any Party under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; provided, however, nothing in this Section 10.14 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party hereto or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns for any breach or violation of its obligations under this Agreement or such other documents or instruments. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Parties will have any recourse, be entitled to commence any proceeding or make any claim under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby except against any of the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns, as applicable.

Section 10.15 Relationship Among Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the duties and obligations of the Commitment Parties under this Agreement shall be several, not joint. None of the Commitment Parties shall have any fiduciary duty, any duty of trust or confidence in any form, or other duties or responsibilities to each other, any Commitment Party, any Company Group Members, or any of the Company Group Members’ respective creditors or other stakeholders, and there are no commitments among or between the Commitment Parties, in each case except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidence among or between any of the Commitment Parties and/or the Company Group Members shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement. The Parties have no agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any securities of any of the Company Group Members and do not constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act or Rule 13d-5 promulgated thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt: (1) each Commitment Party is entering into this Agreement directly with the Company and not with any other Commitment Party, (2) no other Commitment Party shall have any right to bring any action against any other Commitment Party with respect to this Agreement (or any breach thereof) and (3) no Commitment Party shall, nor shall any action taken by a Commitment Party pursuant to this Agreement, be deemed to be acting in concert or as any group with any other Commitment Party with respect to the obligations under this Agreement nor shall this Agreement create a presumption

that the Commitment Parties are in any way acting as a group. All rights under this Agreement are separately granted to each Commitment Party by the Company and vice versa, and the use of a single document is for the convenience of the Company. The decision to commit to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been made independently.

Section 10.16 Company Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (a) nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company or any directors, officers, managers or members of the Company Group Members, in such Person’s capacity as a director, officer, manager or member of such Company Group Member, to take any action or refrain from taking any action, that would breach or be inconsistent with its or their fiduciary obligations under applicable law and (b) to the extent that such fiduciary obligations, in the sole judgment of the Company, require the Company or any directors, officers or members of the Company to take any such action, or refrain from taking any such action, they may do so without incurring any liability to any Party under this Agreement; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 10.16 shall relieve the Debtors of the obligation to pay the Termination Commitment Premium to the extent such obligation arises pursuant to this Agreement.

EXECUTION VERSION

XXXXXXX GROUP INC.

Term Sheet Relating to Corporate Governance Matters

The following preliminary, non-binding term sheet (this “Term Sheet”) presents certain proposed, material terms relating to the corporate governance of a reorganized Xxxxxxx Group Inc. (the “Company”) that would be implemented in connection with the consummation of the Company’s restructuring pursuant to the filing of cases under chapter 11 of the United States Code (Case No. 19-32713(DRJ)).


Structure:		The Company will be organized as a Delaware corporation. The Company will not continue as a reporting company1 after the date of emergence (the “Emergence Date”).

Capital Structure:		The Company’s issued equity interests (“Equity Interests”) will initially consist of: • one class of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (each such share, a “Common Share” and collectively, the “Common Shares”, and each holder thereof, a “Holder”); and • one class of convertible preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (each such share, a “Preferred Share” and collectively, the “Preferred Shares”, and each holder thereof, a “Preferred Holder”, and the Preferred Holders together with the Holders, collectively, the “Company Stockholders”). “Fully Diluted Common Shares” means the aggregate amount of Common Shares after giving effect to a hypothetical conversion of all of the outstanding Preferred Shares into Common Shares. • “Major Holders” means (i) Solus Alternative Asset Management LP (together with one or more of its designed affiliates or managed investment vehicles, funds or accounts, including without limitation, Sola LTD, Solus Long-Term Opportunities Fund Master LP and Solus Opportunities Fund 5 LP, collectively, “Solus”), (ii) the South Dakota Retirement System (together with one or more of its designed affiliates or managed investment vehicles, funds or accounts, collectively, “SDIC”) and (iii) from and after the Emergence Date, with the consent of Solus and SDIC (and any Additional Major Holders previously agreed to by Solus and SDIC pursuant to this clause (iii)), any additional (each, an “Additional Major Holder”) Company Stockholder who was party to the Company’s stockholders’ agreement as of the Emergence Date and at any time holds more than 15% of the Fully Diluted Common Shares; provided, that the consent

This Term Sheet assumes that the go-forward Company will be a privately-held corporation. If the go-forward Company will be a public, SEC-reporting company or a private Delaware limited liability company, the parties will make applicable conforming changes throughout the definitive documents. In addition, if the Company will be a Delaware limited liability company, definitive documents will make clear that directors and officers of the Company will have the same fiduciary duties that directors and officers of a Delaware corporation would have.


		shall automatically be deemed given if such Company Stockholder holds more than 15% of the Fully Diluted Common Shares unless (x) such Company Stockholder holds, or later acquires, an aggregate 3% or more of the outstanding equity interests or voting rights in respect of any of the Company’s competitors (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no appointment or similar rights to such competitor’s board of directors, board of managers or similar governing body) and, thereafter, (y) the Company determines (or, prior to the Emergence Date, Solus and SDIC determine) in good faith, after consulting with antitrust counsel, that such Company Stockholder becoming an Additional Major Holder (and, among other things, receiving Board appointment rights) could reasonably be expected to create an adverse antitrust issue for the Company, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s ability to pursue business combinations.

Information Rights:		The Company shall provide each Company Stockholder with customary information and access rights (“Information Rights”) so long as such Company Stockholder executes and delivers a customary confidentiality agreement applicable to such Information Rights on a form reasonably acceptable to the Company. For all Company Stockholders, “Information Rights” shall at a minimum, include the following: 1) For all Company Stockholders, access to a virtual data room, which shall include: a) audited annual financial statements within 90 days of year-end; b) quarterly financial statements within 45 days of quarter-end; and c) monthly financial statements within 30 days of month-end. 2) All Company Stockholders shall receive an invitation to a quarterly MD&A conference call with members of the Company’s senior management. 3) Company Stockholders owning at least 1% of the Fully Diluted Common Shares shall have customary inspection rights over the Company’s books and records. 4) Company Stockholders owning at least 1% of the Fully Diluted Common Shares shall be entitled to notification of key events, including termination or departure of senior management, material adverse changes in the business or material litigation, in each case subject to reasonable limitations to be set forth in the stockholders’ agreement with respect to the materiality of matters so disclosed and the form of notice to be provided. The foregoing Information Rights shall be subject to customary exceptions to protect confidential and proprietary Company information from disclosure to the public and competitors; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Company Stockholder that is party to the Company’s stockholders’ agreement as of the Emergence Date or its respective affiliated funds shall be deemed a competitor of the Company


		unless such Company Stockholder or its respective affiliated funds acquires an aggregate 3% or more of the outstanding equity interests or voting rights in respect of any of the Company’s competitors (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no appointment or similar rights to such competitor’s board of directors, board of managers or similar governing body) on or after the Emergence Date, in which case the Company may, in good faith, determine that such Company Stockholder or its affiliated funds is a competitor. In addition, the Company shall provide prospective purchasers of Equity Interests with customary access to Company information (which shall include the Information Rights set forth in clause (1) above) for the purpose of evaluating such acquisition of Equity Interests so long as such prospective purchaser executes and delivers a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company.

Board of Directors:		The Company will be managed by a board of directors (the “Board”), which will be responsible for overseeing the operation of the Company’s business. The Board will initially be comprised of seven directors (“Directors”). The Directors on the Board shall be determined as follows: • Solus: Solus shall have the right to appoint (i) two Directors for so long as Solus holds 20% or more of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares, (ii) one Director for so long as Solus holds less than 20% but at least 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares and (iii) no Directors for so long as Solus holds less than 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares (each Director appointed by Solus, a “Solus Director”); • SDIC: SDIC shall have the right to appoint (i) one Director for so long as SDIC holds at least 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares and (ii) no Directors for so long as SDIC holds less than 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares; provided, however, that if SDIC comes to hold 20% or more of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares, SDIC shall instead have the right to appoint two Directors for so long as it holds 20% or more of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares (each Director appointed by SDIC, a “SDIC Director”); provided, further, that SDIC may transfer its right to appoint SDIC Director(s) to Solus at any time. • CEO: The then current Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) of the Company (the “CEO Director”) shall be a Director and the Company Stockholders shall consult in good faith with the CEO with respect to the appointment of each other Director; • Independents: Two independent Directors subject to the appointment rights described below (each, an “Independent Director”);

• Secured Creditors: The secured creditors as a group as of the Emergence Date (the “Initial Secured Creditors”) shall have the right to appoint one Director to the initial Board provided that the Initial Secured Creditors hold at least 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares as of the Emergence Date (the “Secured Creditors Director”); provided, however, that if the Initial Secured Creditors do not hold at least 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares as of the Emergence Date, then such initial Board seat allocated to the Secured Creditors Director shall be filled in the same manner as the Independent Directors at the next meeting of the Company Stockholders in which Directors are elected; provided, further, that (i) if any individual Initial Secured Creditor holds at least 12.5% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares after the initial term of 12 months, then such Initial Secured Creditor shall have the right to appoint one Director for so long as such Initial Secured Creditor continues to hold 12.5% or more of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares or (ii) if no Initial Secured Creditor holds at least 12.5% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares, then such initial Board seat shall be filled in the same manner as the Independent Directors at the next meeting of the Company Stockholders in which Directors are elected; and

• Additional Major Holders: From and after the Emergence Date, Additional Major Holders shall have the right to appoint (i) two Directors for so long as such Additional Major Holder holds 20% or more of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares, (ii) one Director for so long as such Additional Major Holder holds less than 20% but at least 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares and (iii) no Directors for so long as such Additional Major Holder holds less than 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares (each Director appointed by an Additional Major Holder, an “Additional Major Holder Director”); provided, however, that (x) the first Board seat filled by an Additional Major Holder, if applicable, shall be a Board seat previously held by a Solus Director, SDIC Director or Secured Creditors Director, to the extent any of Solus, SDIC or an individual Initial Secured Creditor has, as of such time, ceded its right to appoint one or more Directors (i.e., upon falling below the applicable 20%, 12.5% and/or 10% thresholds set forth above) and (y) to the extent each of Solus, SDIC and an individual Initial Secured Creditor continues to hold their respective rights to appoint one or more Directors as set forth above and Additional Major Holders nonetheless have the right to appoint one or more Additional Major Holder Directors, then the size of the Board shall increase, to the extent necessary, to accommodate the Solus Directors, the SDIC Directors, the Secured Creditors Director, the CEO Director and two Independent Directors, along with the Additional Major Holder Directors.


		Subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the definitive documentation, in the event that any Major Holder transfers all or substantially all of its respective Equity Interests, such transferee will be entitled to receive the Director designation rights held by the applicable transferring Major Holder immediately prior to such transfer. The initial Independent Directors shall be selected in good faith by the affirmative vote of 66-2/3% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares owned by Company Stockholders holding at least 5% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares as of the Emergence Date and after an initial term of 12 months, the Independent Directors shall be appointed by the nominating committee and ratified by an affirmative vote of 66-2/3% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares owned by Company Stockholders holding at least 5% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares as of such time. The Independent Directors shall be non-management individuals with relevant industry experience. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, at least 66-2/3% of the Directors shall be citizens of the United States within the meaning of the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, as amended (“U.S. Citizen”). A person that is not a U.S. Citizen shall not be eligible for nomination or election as a Director if such person’s election, together with the election of any incumbent Directors that are not U.S. Citizens and are candidates for election as a Director at the same time, would result in less than 66-2/3% of the Company’s Directors being U.S. Citizens. No person who is not a U.S. Citizen shall serve as president or CEO of the Company or as Chairman of its Board of Directors. The Company’s organizational documents shall reflect the foregoing provisions and contain such other provisions, including limitations on the voting rights of non-U.S. shareholders, as are necessary for the Company to maintain compliance with the U.S. law requirements regarding control of aviation companies by U.S. Citizens.

Board Committees:		Subject to the terms set forth herein, the Board will have the discretion to establish committees. The Board will establish an exit event committee that will be tasked with exploring certain exit events (e.g., merger, business combination, sale of the Company, consummation of a qualified IPO). The nominating committee and compensation committee of the Board shall each initially consist of at least one Solus Director, one SDIC Director and the Secured Creditors Director; provided, however, that in the event no individual Initial Secured Creditor has the right to appoint the Secured Creditors Director to the Board after the initial term of 12 months, the Board may thereafter elect to remove the Secured Creditors Director from the nominating committee, compensation committee and/or any other applicable committees, and replace such Director by a majority vote of the Board. The stockholders’ agreement shall set forth a list of committees to be created by the Board, including responsibilities to be delegated thereto, and shall additionally provide that all major actions in respect of the Company’s business shall be reserved for meetings of the full Board. Each Company Stockholder holding at least 5% of the Fully Diluted Common Shares as of the Emergence Date shall be entitled to have one observer at each meeting of, or interview conducted by, the nominating committee, subject to customary limitations. The nominating committee shall consider the observers’ input in good faith before selecting any proposed nominees.


Major Holder Negative Consent Rights:		In addition to any negative consent rights that the Preferred Holders may have, the following actions shall require the prior written consent of at least one Major Holder, or if there are any Additional Major Holders, greater than 50% of the Equity Interests held by the Major Holders: i. Incurrence of any indebtedness for borrowed money (including capital leases or the grant of any guarantee related thereto) in excess of a to-be-determined threshold amount; ii. Acquisition or disposition, or series of related acquisitions or dispositions, in excess of a to-be-determined threshold amount; iii. Fundamental change (e.g., change of control, sale of substantially all assets or sale of significant assets); iv. Consummation of a qualified IPO; and v. Transfers of Equity Interests to competitors, including industry competitors and certain third party private equity and financial purchasers. Other Company Stockholder approvals only as required by Delaware law.

Minority Consent Rights:		All Company Stockholders shall be entitled to customary minority protection rights set forth in the definitive documentation, including customary supermajority protections for certain fundamental actions, which shall require an affirmative vote of 67% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares of the Company; provided that any action that materially and disproportionately impacts one Company Stockholder or group of Company Stockholders (in such capacity) compared to any other Company Stockholder or group of Company Stockholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, amendments to the Company’s stockholders’ agreement) shall require the prior written consent of such impacted Company Stockholder or group of Company Stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the stockholders’ agreement shall provide that amendments to the Company’s organizational documents (including the stockholders’ agreement itself) that would circumvent or otherwise modify the agreements set forth in this Term Sheet under the headings of “Information Rights”, “Board of Directors”, “Board Committees”, “Minority Consent Rights”, “Tag-Along Rights”, “Right of First Offer”, “Preemptive Rights” and “Registration Rights Agreement” will, for 3 years following the Effective Date, require the affirmative vote of 80% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares.

Transfer Restrictions:		Customary transfer restrictions to prohibit and void any trade that would result in the triggering of an SEC reporting obligation and transfers of Equity Interests to competitors, including industry competitors and certain third party private equity and financial purchasers, would be subject to Board consent; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Company Stockholder that is party to the Company’s stockholders’ agreement as of


		the Emergence Date or its respective affiliated funds shall be deemed a competitor of the Company unless such Company Stockholder holds or acquires an aggregate 3% or more of the outstanding equity interests or voting rights in respect of such competitor (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no appointment or similar rights to such competitor’s board of directors, board of managers or similar governing body), in which case the Company may, in good faith, determine that such Company Stockholder or its affiliated funds is a competitor.

Tag-Along Rights:		Subject to the “Transfer Restrictions” and “Negative Consent Rights” sections of this Term Sheet, each (x) Holder of Common Shares that holds at least 5% of the outstanding Common Shares, and (y) Initial Secured Creditor, shall have the right to sell its Common Shares on a proportionate basis, or “tag-along” (based on their relative ownership of the outstanding Common Shares), in a sale (or series of sales) by any of the Major Holders of at least 50% of the Common Shares held by such Major Holders to a third party.

Drag-Along Rights:		Any Company Stockholder holding, or group of Company Stockholders collectively holding, more than 50% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares shall have the right to effect a sale of the Company to an unaffiliated third party by merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or Equity Interests without the approval of the other Company Stockholders (except that if there are any Additional Major Holders, the approval of greater than 50% of the Equity Interests held by the Major Holders shall be required to consummate a drag transaction), subject to customary protections for such other Company Stockholders.

Right of First Offer:		None.

Preemptive Rights:		Except for customary exempted issuances, each (x) Holder holding 2% or more of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares, and (y) Initial Secured Creditor, will have customary preemptive rights on a pro rata basis in connection with any issuance of any equity securities or convertible debt securities by the Company so that such Holder has the ability to maintain the same percentage ownership of Fully Diluted Common Shares before and after such issuance, subject to customary exceptions. Such preemptive rights shall terminate upon the completion of a qualified IPO.

Registration Rights Agreement:		Upon or after a qualified IPO, any (i) Holder who would not otherwise be allowed to sell all of their Common Shares immediately without volume limitations or other restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933 or (ii) other Company Stockholders holding at least 5% of the voting power of the Fully Diluted Common Shares shall, in each case, be entitled to customary registration rights with respect to the Common Shares held by them, including customary demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights.

Corporate Opportunities:		The Company’s governance documents will provide, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for the renunciation of the Company’s interest in business opportunities that are presented to Directors or Company Stockholders, in each case, other than opportunities presented to Directors, employees, consultants or officers of the Company in their capacity as such (and the renunciation shall apply to any Chairman of the Board that is not otherwise an employee, consultant or officer of the Company).

EXECUTION VERSION

XXXXXXX GROUP INC.

Term Sheet Relating to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock

The following preliminary, non-binding term sheet (this “Term Sheet”) presents certain proposed, material terms relating to the issuance by Xxxxxxx Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the (Reorganized Preferred Equity”) in connection with the consummation of the Company’s restructuring pursuant to the filing of cases under chapter 11 of the United States Code (Case No. 19-32713(DRJ)).


General:		Purchase Price: $36.37 per share of Reorganized Preferred Equity Initial Liquidation Preference: $48.51 per share of Reorganized Preferred Equity Rank: The Reorganized Preferred Equity shall rank (i) senior to the Company’s reorganized common stock (the “Reorganized Common Equity”) and any other class of preferred stock of the Company (including with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation), unless otherwise approved in accordance with the voting rights section below and (ii) subordinate to any existing or future indebtedness of the Company

Dividends:		10% PIK dividend payable annually as of any record date set for the payment of dividends to the holders of the Reorganized Common Equity. Dividends are payable annually or, if more frequent than annually, when Reorganized Common Equity dividends are paid, and are cumulative and compound based on the original purchase price and previously accumulated dividends. All accrued and accumulated dividends are prior in preference to any dividend on the Reorganized Common Equity and any securities junior to the Reorganized Preferred Equity, and shall be fully declared and paid before any dividends are declared and paid, or any other distributions or redemptions are made, on the Reorganized Common Equity or on any securities junior to the Reorganized Preferred Equity (other than dividends payable in shares of Reorganized Common Equity or repurchases pursuant to binding contractual commitments of Reorganized Common Equity held by employees, directors or consultants upon termination of their employment or services).

Liquidation Preference:		Upon the commencement of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company or bankruptcy reorganization or any other similar event or proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, with respect to the Company (each a “Liquidation Event”) or Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), each share of Reorganized Preferred Equity, including shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity that would be issued to account for accrued and unpaid dividends, shall be entitled to receive in preference to any distribution to the holders of any Reorganized Common Equity or securities junior to the Reorganized Preferred Equity an amount in cash per share of Reorganized Common Equity (or the number of shares of Reorganized Common Equity that would be economically equivalent thereto) (the “Liquidation Preference”) equal to the greater of:

(i) the Initial Liquidation Preference per share of Reorganized Preferred Equity (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events);

(ii) an amount that results in the holders of Reorganized Preferred Equity achieving the Base Return (as defined below); and

(iii) the amount such holder would have received had such holder converted his shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity into shares of Reorganized Common Equity immediately prior to (and subject to the consummation of) such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event and shared in the proceeds and other consideration of the Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event as a holder of Reorganized Common Equity;

provided, however, that in lieu of receiving the Liquidation Preference in cash, the holders of Reorganized Preferred Equity may elect to convert their shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity into shares of Reorganized Common Equity immediately prior to (and subject to the consummation of) such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event and share in the proceeds and other consideration of the Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event as the holders of Reorganized Common Equity with such conversion being sufficient to result in each Reorganized Preferred Equity holder receiving a number of shares of Reorganized Common Equity that would be economically equivalent to such holder receiving the Liquidation Preference; provided, further that the Company may elect for the holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity to convert their shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity into shares of Reorganized Common Equity immediately prior to (and subject to the consummation of) the consummation of a transaction contemplated by clauses (i), (ii) or (v) of the definition of Deemed Liquidation Event and share in the proceeds and other consideration of such transaction as the holders of Reorganized Common Equity with such conversion being sufficient to result in each Reorganized Preferred Equity holder receiving a number of shares of Reorganized Common Equity that would be economically equivalent to such holder receiving the Liquidation Preference (which, for purposes of clarification, shall consist of the number of shares of Reorganized Common Equity that would be economically equivalent to the greater of the amounts in cash per share of Reorganized Common Equity resulting from the calculations pursuant to each of clauses (i) and (ii) above). If the Liquidation Preference payment consists in whole or in part of common stock or other marketable securities (for example, in the event of a merger, business combination or sale transaction), then the fair market value of each share of such common stock or other securities issued to the holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity as part of the Liquidation Preference shall be equal to the greater of: (a) 90% multiplied by the volume weighted average trading price of such security, if applicable, for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the Liquidation Event or (b) the price per security implied by the aggregate consideration in the definitive documents of such merger, business combination, or sale transaction.

If upon any Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event, the remaining assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the Liquidation Preference to which holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity are entitled, the holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Company in proportion to the respective Liquidation Preference which would otherwise be payable in respect of the Reorganized Preferred Equity in the aggregate upon such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in full, and the Company shall not make any payments to the holders of Reorganized Common Equity or any securities junior to the Reorganized Preferred Equity.

“Base Return” means (i) prior to the third anniversary of the original issuance of the Reorganized Preferred Equity (the “Closing Date”), an amount per share equal to the greater of (x) an “IRR” of 14.0% and (y) a 1.5x “MOIC”; (ii) on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date but before the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount per share equal to the greater of (x) an “IRR” of 15.0% and (y) a 1.7x “MOIC”; (iii) on or after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date but before the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount per share equal to the greater of (x) an “IRR” of 16.0% and (y) a 1.9x “MOIC”; or (iv) on or after the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount per share equal to the greater of (x) an “IRR” of 17.0% and (y) a 2.1x “MOIC”. The definitions of “IRR” and “MOIC” shall be set forth in the definitive documentation and calculated using the Initial Liquidation Preference.

“Deemed Liquidation Event” means any of the following: (i) the lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (in each case whether in one transaction or a series of transactions); (ii) upon an acquisition of the Company by another person or entity by means of any transaction or series of transactions (including any reorganization, merger, merger of equals, business combination, consolidation or share transfer) (x) where the holders of the Reorganized Common Equity and Reorganized Preferred Equity of the Company immediately preceding such transaction own, immediately following such transaction, less than 75% of the voting securities of the Company or (y) where the gross proceeds are greater than or equal to an amount equal to 25% of the enterprise value of the Company; (iii) if any person (including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended and the rules of the SEC thereunder) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except that a person will be deemed to own any securities that such person has a right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), directly or indirectly, of 25% or more of the total voting power of all classes of voting stock; (iv) on the first day on which a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company does not consist of Continuing Directors (as defined below); (v) the consummation of a Qualified IPO (as defined below); and (vi) on approval of a plan of liquidation or dissolution.


		“Continuing Directors” means (i) individuals who on the Closing Date constituted the board of directors of the Company or (ii) any new directors whose election or nomination was approved by at least a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors on the Closing Date or whose election or nomination was previously so approved by the holders of Reorganized Common Equity and Reorganized Preferred Equity. “Qualified IPO” means the closing of an initial public offering and sale of the Reorganized Common Equity (or the equity interests of an affiliate of the Company if the Company is reorganized in anticipation of such initial public offering) pursuant to an effective registration statement filed by the Company (or applicable affiliate) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their equivalent, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for aggregate proceeds of an amount equal to no less than 25% of the Company’s enterprise value.

Holder Optional Conversion:		At any time and from time to time following the Closing Date, each holder of Reorganized Preferred Equity shall have an independent right to convert all or any portion of its Reorganized Preferred Equity, at such holder’s option, into a whole number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Reorganized Common Equity equal to (A) the Initial Liquidation Preference per share of Reorganized Preferred Equity (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events with respect to the Reorganized Preferred Equity) divided by (B) the Conversion Price (as defined below) (the “Conversion Return”) and then multiplied by (C) the shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity being converted (including PIK dividends previously paid and any accrued and unpaid dividends payable in shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity) (the “Converted Shares”). In addition, at any time and from time to time following the Closing Date, the holders of a majority of the Reorganized Preferred Equity, voting as a separate class, have the right to (i) convert all of the Reorganized Preferred Equity into a number of shares of Reorganized Common Equity equal to (x) the Conversion Return multiplied by (y) the Converted Shares or (ii) convert all of the Reorganized Preferred Equity into substantially equivalent securities of one or more of the Company’s domestic U.S. or foreign subsidiaries. The “Conversion Price” shall initially be the price per share of the Reorganized Common Equity of the Company as determined in the Plan, subject to adjustment as described below under “Anti-Dilution”.

Holder Optional Redemption:		Commencing on the date that is five years following the Closing Date, each holder of Reorganized Preferred Equity shall have an independent right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of its Reorganized Preferred Equity (and holders of a majority of the Reorganized Preferred Equity, voting as a separate class, shall have the right require the Company to redeem all of the Reorganized Preferred Equity) at a per share price



		equal to the Liquidation Preference. Each holder of Reorganized Preferred Equity shall also have an independent right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of its Reorganized Preferred Equity (and holders of a majority of the Reorganized Preferred Equity, voting as a separate class, shall have the right require the Company to redeem all of the Reorganized Preferred Equity) at a per share price equal to the Liquidation Preference (a) upon the occurrence of a Breach (as defined below), (b) on the effective date of a confirmed plan in a chapter 11 bankruptcy case for the Company or any similar bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or (c) on or immediately prior to the consummation of any Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event. Except as described in the “Fundamental Transaction Make-Whole” section below, the Company shall not have any right to require mandatory redemption.

Breach:		The holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity shall be entitled to a dividend rate increase by an increment of 2% per annum for all periods of time during which a Breach is continuing. In the event that at any time and from time to time, a Breach pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Breach is not cured within three months of its occurrence, then the majority of the holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity shall have the right to designate a party (which party may be a holder of the Reorganized Preferred Equity) to observe all matters submitted to or considered by the board of directors of the Company until such time as the event is cured. “Breach” means any (i) failure to pay dividends when due, (ii) failure to make any redemption payment or liquidation payment when due, (iii) breaches of any other covenants set forth in the definitive documentation, (iv) assignment for the benefit of creditors or bankruptcy or (v) such other customary defaults as the Company and the holders may agree to in the definitive documentation.

Fundamental Transaction Make-Whole:		If the Company undergoes a “Fundamental Transaction” (to be defined in definitive documentation), then the Company shall have the right (the “Call Right”) to convert all (but not less than all) of the then outstanding Reorganized Preferred Equity at such time (the date of such redemption, the “Call Date”) into shares of Reorganized Common Equity immediately prior to (and subject to the consummation of) such Fundamental Transaction so that the holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity share in the proceeds and other consideration of the Fundamental Transaction as the holders of Reorganized Common Equity, with such conversion being sufficient to result in each Reorganized Preferred Equity holder receiving a number of shares of Reorganized Common Equity that would be economically equivalent to such holder receiving (i) the Liquidation Preference (which, for purposes of clarification, shall consist of the number of shares of Reorganized Common Equity that would be economically equivalent to the greater of the amounts in cash per share of Reorganized Common Equity resulting from the calculations pursuant to each of clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition of “Liquidation Preference” above) multiplied by the applicable “Make-Whole Redemption Percentage” set forth in the table below plus (ii) if positive, the present value (computed using a discount rate based on U.S. Treasury securities


	with a maturity closest to the date that is the first anniversary of the Closing Date, plus 0.50%) as of the Call Date of the expected amount of all remaining dividends that would accrue had the Company not exercised the Call Right between (inclusive of such dates) the Call Date and the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date multiplied by the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Percentage.

		Call Date	Make-Whole Redemption Percentage
		On or after the Closing Date (and prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date)	102.0%

		On or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date (and prior to the fifth anniversary of the Call Date)	101.0%

		On or after the fifth anniversary of the Call Date	100.0%

Voting and Consent Rights	The holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity shall be entitled to vote on an as-converted basis with the holders of the Reorganized Common Equity on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Reorganized Common Equity. In addition, the following matters require the consent of the holders of a majority of the Reorganized Preferred Equity, voting as a separate class, and excluding such shares owned by the Company or any subsidiary or other entity controlled by or controlling any such party: i. repealing, amending, waiving or otherwise changing any provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) that adversely affects the powers, preferences or other rights or privileges of the Reorganized Preferred Equity or any of its holders, whether directly or indirectly; ii. increasing the number of authorized shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity or issuing additional shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity after the Closing Date other than to pay the dividends on the Reorganized Preferred Equity; iii. issuance by any subsidiary or controlled affiliate of the Company of any preferred equity securities or any other securities convertible into preferred equity securities in any such subsidiary or controlled affiliate of the Company (other than issuances of such securities to the Company or another wholly owned subsidiary of the Company);


		iv. creating any new class or series of stock, or any other equity securities, or any other securities convertible into equity securities of the Company, in each such case having a preference over, or being on parity with, the Reorganized Preferred Equity with respect to dividends, liquidation, voting or redemption; v. consummating a Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event or entering into any other Fundamental Transaction (to be defined in definitive documentation) that would not permit the Reorganized Preferred Equity to be converted or redeemed in full; and vi. such other customary consent matters as the Company and the holders may agree to in definitive documentation.

Anti-Dilution Protection:		The Reorganized Preferred Equity will have customary anti-dilution provisions, including in connection with (a) a subdivision or combination of outstanding Reorganized Common Equity, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, dividend or other distribution payable in any form, (b) any Deemed Liquidation Event under clauses (i) through (iv) of such definition, and (c) any consideration in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Reorganized Common Equity of the Company or securities junior to the Reorganized Preferred Equity made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Reorganized Preferred Equity shall be adjusted on a weighted average basis for issuances of Reorganized Common Equity (or common stock equivalents, equity securities, or securities/debt convertible into equity securities). In the event that a shareholder rights plan is in effect, the Reorganized Preferred Equity will receive upon conversion of such shares, in addition to the Reorganized Common Equity of the Company, rights under the shareholder rights agreement.
