Nothing contained herein, or in any of the confidentiality agreements in place between the Debtors, each of the Consenting Creditors and their respective advisors, shall: (i) limit (A) the rights of a Consenting Creditor under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, foreclosure or similar Proceeding, including appearing as a party in interest in any matter to be adjudicated in order to be heard concerning any matter arising in the Chapter 11 Cases, in each case, so long as the exercise of any such right is not inconsistent with such Consenting Creditor’s obligations hereunder; (B) the ability of a Consenting Creditor to purchase, sell or enter into any transactions regarding the Claims and Interests, subject to the terms hereof; (C) except as set forth in this Agreement, any right or remedy of any Consenting Creditor under, as applicable, (x) any of the First Lien Notes Documents, and (y) any other applicable agreement, instrument or document that gives rise to a Consenting Creditor’s Claims and Interests; (D) the ability of a Consenting Creditor to consult with any of the other Restructuring Support Parties; (E) the rights of any Consenting Creditor to engage in any discussions, enter into any agreements or take any other action regarding matters to be effectuated after the expiration of the Restructuring Support Period; or (F) the ability of a Consenting Creditor to enforce any right, remedy, condition, consent or approval requirement under this Agreement or any of the Restructuring Documents; (ii) constitute a waiver or amendment of any term or provision of (y) any of the First Lien Notes Documents, or (z) any other agreement, instrument or document that gives rise to a Consenting Creditor’s Claims and Interests; or (iii) constitute a termination or release of any liens granted in connection with the First Lien Notes.

13
already may own or control prior to such Transfer), by executing a joinder agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Joinder Agreement”), and by delivering an executed copy thereof to (A) counsel to the Debtors and (B) Stroock (in each case, at the addresses for such law firms set forth in Section 20 hereof), in which event (x) the Transferee shall be deemed to be a Consenting Creditor hereunder to the extent of such transferred Claims and Interests (and all Claims and Interests it already may own or control prior to such Transfer), and (y) the transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights, and be released from its obligations, under this Agreement solely to the extent of such transferred Claims and Interests; provided, however, that such Transfer shall not, in and of itself, release any Consenting Creditor who is also a DIP Lender from its obligations under, to the extent in effect, the DIP Facilities Documents (the Transfer of DIP Commitments being governed by, to the extent in effect, the DIP Facilities Documents). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 3(c) shall not apply to the grant of any liens or encumbrances on any Claims and Interests in favor of a bank or broker-dealer holding custody of such Claims and Interests in the ordinary course of business and which lien or encumbrance is released upon the Transfer of such Claims and Interests. Each Consenting Creditor agrees (severally and not jointly) that any Transfer of any Claims and Interests that does not comply with the terms and procedures set forth herein shall be deemed void ab initio, and each of the Debtors and each other Consenting Creditor shall have the right to enforce the voiding of such Transfer.
(d) Qualified Market Maker. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) any Consenting Creditor may Transfer any of its Claims and Interests to an entity that is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker without the requirement that the Qualified Marketmaker be or become a Consenting Creditor; provided, however, that the Qualified Marketmaker subsequently Transfers all right, title and interest in such Claims and Interests to a Transferee that is or becomes a Consenting Creditor as provided above, and the Transfer documentation between the transferor Consenting Creditor and such Qualified Marketmaker shall contain a requirement that provides as such; and (ii) to the extent any Consenting Creditor is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may Transfer any Claims and Interests that it acquires from a holder of such Claims and Interests that is not a Consenting Creditor without the requirement that the Transferee be or become a Consenting Creditor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at the time of the proposed Transfer of any Claims and Interests to a Qualified Marketmaker, such Claims and Interests (x) may be voted on the Plan or any Alternative Transaction, the proposed transferor Consenting Creditor must first vote such Claims and Interests in accordance with the requirements of Section 3(a) hereof, or (y) have not yet been and may not yet be voted on the Plan or any Alternative Transaction and such Qualified Marketmaker does not Transfer such Claims and Interests to a subsequent Transferee prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day prior to the expiration of the voting deadline (such date, the “Qualified Marketmaker Joinder Date”), such Qualified Marketmaker shall be required to (and the Transfer documentation to the Qualified Marketmaker shall have provided that it shall), on the first (1st) Business Day immediately following the Qualified Marketmaker Joinder Date, become a Consenting Creditor with respect to such Claims and Interests in accordance with the terms hereof (provided that, the Qualified Marketmaker shall automatically, and without further notice or action, no longer be a Consenting Creditor with respect to such Claims and Interests at such time that the Transferee of such Claims and Interests becomes a Consenting Creditor with respect to such Claims and Interests).
14
(e) Additional Claims and Interests. This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude any Consenting Creditor or any Affiliates of such parties from acquiring additional Claims and Interests following its execution of this Agreement. To the extent any Consenting Creditor acquires additional Claims and Interests, such Consenting Creditor agrees (severally and not jointly) that any such additional Claims and Interests shall automatically and immediately be deemed subject to this Agreement, including the obligations with respect to Claims and Interests set forth in Section 3(a) hereof; provided that each Consenting Creditor will provide notice of any such acquisition to counsel to the Debtors and Stroock in accordance with Section 3(c).

24
(c) Mutual Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by mutual written agreement among the Debtors and the Requisite Consenting Creditors. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Agreement shall terminate automatically without further required action upon the occurrence of the Effective Date.

Upon the termination of this Agreement with respect to any Restructuring Support Party in accordance with this Section 5, and except as provided in Section 14 hereof, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no further force or effect with respect to such Restructuring Support Party, and each such Restructuring Support Party shall, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, be immediately released from its liabilities, obligations, commitments, undertakings and agreements under or related to this Agreement, have no further rights, benefits or privileges hereunder, and shall have all the rights and remedies that it would have had and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Restructuring or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement, including all rights and remedies available to it under applicable Law and, in the case of the Consenting Creditors, the First Lien Notes Indenture or any of the other First Lien Notes Documents; provided, however, that in no event shall any such termination relieve a Restructuring Support Party from (i) liability for its breach or non-performance of its obligations hereunder prior to the date of such termination or (ii) obligations under this Agreement which by their terms expressly survive termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, any of the Consenting Creditor Termination Events or any of the Debtor Termination Events may be waived in accordance with the procedures established by Section 8 hereof, in which case the Termination Event so waived shall be deemed not to have occurred, this Agreement shall be deemed to continue in full force and effect, and the rights and obligations of the Restructuring Support Parties under this Agreement shall be restored, subject to any modification set forth in such waiver. If this Agreement has been terminated in accordance with this Section 5 at a time when permission of the Bankruptcy Court shall be required for a Consenting Creditor to change or withdraw (or cause to change or withdraw) its vote to accept the Plan, neither the Debtors nor any other Restructuring Support Party shall oppose any attempt by such party to change or withdraw (or cause to change or withdraw) such vote at such time.
(e) Automatic Stay. The Debtors acknowledge and agree (and shall not dispute) that after the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the giving of a Termination Notice by the Requisite Consenting Creditors pursuant to this Agreement shall not be a violation of the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (and the Debtors hereby waive, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable Law, the applicability of the automatic stay to the giving of such Termination Notice), and no cure period contained in this Agreement shall be extended without the prior written consent of the Requisite Consenting Creditors.

This Agreement is not, and shall not be deemed, a solicitation of votes for the acceptance of a chapter 11 plan of reorganization or a solicitation to tender or exchange any securities. The acceptance of the Plan by the Consenting Creditors will not be solicited until entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Disclosure Statement Order and the Consenting Creditors have received the Disclosure Statement and related ballots, as approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

With respect to any Person that becomes a party to this Agreement by executing and delivering a Joinder Agreement after the Restructuring Support Effective Date, this Agreement shall become effective as to such Person at the time such Joinder Agreement is executed and delivered to counsel to the Debtors and Stroock (in each case, at the addresses for such law firms set forth in Section 20 hereof).
11. | Conflicts. |
The Restructuring Term Sheet is supplemented by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. However, to the extent this Agreement is silent as to a particular matter set forth in the Restructuring Term Sheet, such matter shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Restructuring Term Sheet. In the event the terms and conditions as set forth in the Restructuring Term Sheet and this Agreement are inconsistent, the terms and conditions of the Restructuring Term Sheet shall control. In the event of any conflict among the terms and provisions of the Plan, this Agreement and/or the Restructuring Term Sheet, the terms and provisions of the Plan shall control. In the event of any conflict among the terms and provisions of the Confirmation Order and the Plan, the terms and provisions of the Confirmation Order shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 11 shall affect, in any way, the requirements set forth herein for the amendment of this Agreement.
12. | GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. |
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PROVISIONS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT IT MAY BE PREEMPTED BY THE BANKRUPTCY CODE). BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE RESTRUCTURING SUPPORT PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT, DISPUTE OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND THE RESTRUCTURING SUPPORT PARTIES IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTIONS AS TO VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM.

13. | Specific Performance/Remedies. |
It is understood and agreed by the Restructuring Support Parties that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Restructuring Support Party and each non-breaching Restructuring Support Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses) as a remedy of any such breach, in addition to any other remedy to which such non-breaching Restructuring Support Party may be entitled, at law or in equity, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court requiring any Restructuring Support Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder. Each Restructuring Support Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedies.
14. | Survival. |
Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5 hereof, the agreements and obligations of the Restructuring Support Parties in this Section 14 and Sections 5(d), 5(e), 8, 9 (solely for purposes of enforcement of the payment of Transaction Expenses accrued through the occurrence of the applicable Termination Event), 12, 13, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, and 25 hereof, the last paragraph of Section 2, and the last paragraph of Section 3(a), and any defined terms used in any of the forgoing Sections or paragraphs (solely to the extent used therein), shall survive such termination and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof.

16. | Successors and Assigns; Severability. |
This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Restructuring Support Parties and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and representatives; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 16 shall be deemed to permit sales, assignments or other Transfers of the Claims and Interests other than in accordance with Sections 3(c) and 3(d) of this Agreement. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance, shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision or part thereof and the remaining part of such provision and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 16 shall be deemed to amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or constitute a waiver of, any Termination Event. Upon any such determination of invalidity, the Restructuring Support Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the
32
Restructuring Support Parties as closely as possible, in a reasonably acceptable manner, such that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
17. | No Third-Party Beneficiaries. |
This Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Restructuring Support Parties and no other Person shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof.

21. | Reservation of Rights; No Admission. |
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and in any amendment hereto, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair or restrict the ability of each of the Restructuring Support Parties to (a) protect and preserve its rights, remedies and interests, including its claims against any of the other Restructuring Support Parties (or their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries), (b) consult with any of the other Restructuring Support Parties, (c) fully participate in any bankruptcy case filed by any Debtor, or (d) purchase, sell or enter into any transactions in connection with Claims and Interests, in each case subject to the terms hereof. Without limiting the foregoing sentence in any way, if the Restructuring is not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, nothing shall be construed herein as a waiver by any Restructuring Support Party of any or all of such Restructuring Support Party’s rights, remedies, claims and defenses and the Restructuring Support Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, claims and defenses. No Consenting Creditor shall have, by reason of this Agreement, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Restructuring Support Party, any holder of Claims and Interests, or any other Person, and nothing in this Agreement (including the Restructuring Term Sheet), express or implied, is intended to impose, or shall be construed as imposing, upon any Consenting Creditor any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the Restructuring except as expressly set forth herein. This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Restructuring Support Parties. Pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, any applicable state rules of evidence and any other applicable Law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any Proceeding other than a Proceeding to enforce its terms. This Agreement, the Restructuring Term Sheet and the Plan shall in no event be construed as or be deemed to be evidence of an admission or concession on the part of any Restructuring Support Party of any claim, fault, liability or damages whatsoever (including with respect to any Pension Plan or Multiemployer Plan and it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Consenting Creditors are continuing to conduct diligence with respect to the Pension Plans and Multiemployer Plans). Each of the Restructuring Support Parties denies any and all wrongdoing or liability of any kind and does not concede any infirmity in the claims or defenses which it has asserted or could assert.
22. | Prevailing Party. |
If any Restructuring Support Party brings a Proceeding against any other Restructuring Support Party based upon a breach by such Restructuring Support Party of its obligations hereunder, the prevailing Restructuring Support Party shall be entitled to the reimbursement of all reasonable fees and expenses incurred, including reasonable attorneys’, accountants’ and financial advisors’ fees in connection with such Proceeding, from the non-prevailing Restructuring Support Party.
35
23. | Representation by Counsel. |
Each Restructuring Support Party acknowledges that it has been represented by, or has been provided a reasonable period of time to obtain access to and advice by, counsel with respect to this Agreement and the Restructuring contemplated herein. Accordingly, any rule of Law or any legal decision that would provide any Restructuring Support Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Restructuring Support Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived.
24. | Relationship Among Restructuring Support Parties. |
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the duties and obligations of the Consenting Creditors under this Agreement shall be several, not joint. It is understood and agreed that no Consenting Creditor has any duty of trust or confidence in any kind or form with any other Restructuring Support Party, and, except as expressly provided in or expressly contemplated by this Agreement, there are no commitments among or between them. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that any Consenting Creditor is not prohibited from trading in the Claims and Interests of any Debtor without the consent of any other Restructuring Support Party, subject, however, to compliance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that no Consenting Creditor shall have any responsibility for any such trading to any other entity by virtue of this Agreement. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Restructuring Support Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement. No Consenting Creditor shall, as a result of its entering into and performing its obligations under this Agreement, be deemed to be part of a “group” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with any other Restructuring Support Party. For the avoidance of doubt, no action taken by a Consenting Creditor pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute or to create a presumption by any of the Parties that the Consenting Creditors are in any way acting in concert or as such a “group.”
