and/or Direct Allocation Commitment made (or attempted to be 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 Equity Commitment Party, and shall not create (or be deemed to create) any obligation or liability of any other Equity Commitment Party or any Debtor to the purported transferee or
limit, alter or impair any agreements, covenants, or obligations of the proposed transferor under this Agreement. Any Transfer of any Backstop Commitment and/or Direct Allocation Commitment made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in
compliance with applicable securities laws. After the Closing Date, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict in any way the ability of any Equity Commitment Party (or any permitted transferee thereof) to Transfer any of the New Common

the name of, and delivered to a Related Fund of such Equity Commitment Party upon receipt by Holdings of payment therefor in accordance with the terms hereof (it being understood that payment by either the Related Fund or the Backstop Party shall
satisfy the applicable payment obligations of the Backstop Party), which notice of designation shall (a) be addressed to the Equity Rights Offering Subscription Agent and signed by such Equity Commitment Party and each such Related Fund, (b)
specify the number of Rights Offering Shares or shares of New Common Stock issuable on account of the Backstop Commitment Premium, as applicable, to be delivered to or issued in the name of such Related Fund and (c) contain a confirmation by each

ARTICLE III
BACKSTOP COMMITMENT PREMIUM AND EXPENSE REIMBURSEMENT
Section 3.1 Premium Payable by the Debtors. Subject to Section 3.2, as consideration for the Funding Commitment and the other agreements of the Equity
Commitment Parties in this Agreement, Holdings shall pay or cause to be paid a nonrefundable aggregate premium of 12.5% of the Aggregate Rights Offering Amount (the “Backstop
Commitment Premium”), payable in New Common Stock, to the Equity Commitment Parties on the Effective Date, calculated based on the Purchase Price. The Backstop Commitment Premium shall be payable, in accordance with Section 3.2, to the Equity Commitment Parties (including any Replacement Equity Commitment Party, but excluding any Defaulting Equity Commitment Party) or their designees in proportion to
their respective Backstop Commitment Percentages at the time the payment of the Backstop Commitment Premium is made. Under no circumstances shall a reduction in the Aggregate Rights Offering Amount result in a reduction of the Backstop Commitment
Premium.
Section 3.2 Payment of Premium. The Backstop Commitment Premium shall be fully earned by the Equity Commitment Parties upon execution of this Agreement, nonrefundable and non-avoidable upon entry of the Backstop
Order and shall be paid by Holdings, free and clear of any withholding or deduction for any applicable Taxes, on the Effective Date as set forth above. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent payable in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, the Backstop Commitment Premium will be payable regardless of the amount of Unsubscribed Shares (if any) actually purchased; provided that subject to Section 2.3, the Backstop Commitment Premium shall not be payable in respect of the Funding Commitments of any Defaulting Equity Commitment Party. Holdings shall satisfy its obligation to pay the
Backstop Commitment Premium on the Effective Date by issuing the number of additional shares of New Common Stock (in each case rounded among the Equity Commitment Parties solely to avoid fractional shares of New Common Stock as the Required Equity
Commitment Parties may determine in their sole discretion) to each Equity Commitment Party (or its designee pursuant to Section 2.7) equal to such Equity Commitment Party’s Backstop
Commitment Premium Share Amount; provided that if the Closing does not occur, the Backstop Commitment Termination Premium shall be payable (in lieu of the Backstop Commitment
Premium) in Cash, to the extent provided in (and in accordance with) Section 10.6. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall both the Backstop Commitment Premium and the Backstop
Commitment Termination Premium be payable by the Debtors.
24
Section 3.3 Expense Reimbursement. (a) Whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated, the Debtors agree to pay all of the reasonable and documented out of pocket fees and expenses incurred by the Initial Equity Commitment Parties before, on or after the date hereof until the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms that have not otherwise been paid pursuant to the RSA, the Final DIP Order or in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, including: (A) the reasonable and documented fees and expenses
(including reasonable travel costs and expenses) of the Initial Equity Commitment Parties Advisors in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the RSA; (B) all filing fees or other costs or fees associated with the
matters contemplated by Section 5.10 and Section 6.14 (including, without limitation, all filing fees, if any, required by
the HSR Act or any other Antitrust Law) in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Equity Commitment Parties related thereto; and (C) all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with any required regulatory filings in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, filings done on Schedule 13D, Schedule
13G, Form 3 or Form 4, in each case, promulgated under the Exchange Act), in each case, that have been paid or are payable by the Equity Commitment Parties (such payment obligations set forth in clauses
(A), (B), and (C) above, collectively, the “Expense Reimbursement”). The Expense Reimbursement shall, pursuant to the Backstop Order, constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estates 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’ estates; provided that nothing herein shall alter or modify the Debtors’ payment obligations under the Final DIP Order. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, this Section
3.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(b) The Expense Reimbursement as described in this Section
3.3 shall be paid in Cash in accordance with the terms herein. The Expense Reimbursement accrued through the date on which the Backstop Order is entered shall be paid when due (for the avoidance of doubt, (x) in no event shall
such invoices be due earlier than ten days after receipt thereof and (y) the invoices that shall set forth such Expense Reimbursements shall not include time details). The Expense Reimbursement accrued thereafter shall be payable by the Debtors
promptly when due. Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, no recipient of any payment hereunder shall be required to file with respect thereto any interim or final fee application with the Bankruptcy Court with respect to such
payment.
(c) For the avoidance of doubt, nothing
herein shall alter or modify the Debtors’ payment obligations under the Final DIP Order or the RSA.
Section 3.4 Tax Treatment. The parties hereto agree that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Backstop Commitment Premium and the Backstop Commitment Termination Premium shall be treated as a “put premium”
paid to the Equity Commitment Parties (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Each party shall file all tax returns consistent with, and take no position inconsistent with such
treatment (whether in audits, tax returns or otherwise) unless required to do so pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the IRC.
Section 3.5 Integration; Administrative Expense. The provisions for the payment of the Backstop Commitment Premium, the Backstop Commitment Termination Premium and Expense Reimbursement, and the indemnification
provided herein, are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Equity Commitment Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. The Backstop Order and the Plan shall provide that the
Backstop Commitment Premium, the Backstop Commitment Termination Premium, the Expense Reimbursement, and any indemnification provided herein shall constitute Allowed Administrative Claims of the Debtors’ estates under Sections 503(b) and 507 of the
Bankruptcy Code. In addition and as a result thereof, the proposed Confirmation Order and the Plan filed by the Debtors contemplate that any New Common Stock issued as payment of the Backstop Commitment Premium shall be issuable under Section 1145
of the Bankruptcy Code.

to appear and be heard, or to file objections, concerning any matter arising in the Chapter 11 Cases to the extent not inconsistent with the RSA or this Agreement or any applicable confidentiality agreement, and such acts are not for the purpose
of delaying, interfering, or impeding, directly or indirectly, the Restructuring Transactions.

exemption from such qualification) and any applicable foreign jurisdictions, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Equity Commitment Parties on or prior to the Closing Date. The Debtors shall timely make all filings and

security (as defined in the Securities Act) that is or will be integrated with the sale of the Unsubscribed Shares and New Common Stock in a manner that would require registration of the Unsubscribed Shares and New Common Stock to be issued by
Holdings on the Effective Date under the Securities Act. No Debtor or any of its affiliates or any other Person acting on its or its behalf will solicit offers for, or offer or sell, any Direct Allocation Shares or Unsubscribed Shares by means of

STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.”
In the event that any such Direct Allocation Shares or Unsubscribed Shares are uncertificated, such Direct Allocation Shares or Unsubscribed Shares shall be subject to a restrictive notation
substantially similar to the Legend in the stock ledger or other appropriate records maintained by Holdings or its transfer agent and the term “Legend” shall include such restrictive notation.
Holdings shall remove the Legend (or restrictive notation, as applicable) set forth above from the certificates evidencing any such shares (or the stock ledger or other appropriate records, in
the case of uncertified shares) at any time after the restrictions described in such Legend cease to be applicable, including, as applicable, when such shares may be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act without volume or manner of sale
restrictions. Holdings may reasonably request such opinions, certificates or other evidence that such restrictions or conditions no longer apply as a condition to removing the Legend. For the avoidance of doubt, the (i) Subscription Shares and
(ii) New Common Stock issued in satisfaction of the Backstop Commitment Premium shall not include the Legend.
(a) Each Party agrees to use best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to consummate and make effective the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, the Plan and the other Definitive Documents, including (i) if applicable, filing, or causing to be filed, the Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by

Each Equity Commitment Party, including its Affiliates, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, agrees to take, or cause to be taken, any and all steps and to make,

the Plan or the other Definitive Documents, and to avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority or Antitrust Authority with respect to any transaction contemplated by this

obligations of any Equity Commitment Party (including its Affiliates, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries), and (z) otherwise taking or committing to take any action that would limit any Equity Commitment Party’s (including its Affiliates’,
and its direct and indirect subsidiaries’) freedom of action with respect to, or its ability to retain or hold, directly or indirectly, any businesses, assets, equity interests, product lines or properties of any Equity Commitment Party
(including its Affiliates, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries) or any equity interest in any joint venture held by any Equity Commitment Party (including its Affiliates, and its direct and indirect subsidiaries), in each case as may be

parties may be made on a counsel-only basis to the extent required under applicable Law or as appropriate to protect confidential business information, and any materials provided pursuant to this Section 6.14 may be redacted (i) to remove

writing, furnish each other Joint Filing Party with copies of (or, in the case of material oral communications, advise each other Joint Filing Party orally of) any communications from or with an Antitrust Authority.

acting in their capacity as such, to take any action or to refrain from taking any action to the extent such Fiduciary determines, after consulting with counsel, that taking or failing to take such action would be inconsistent with applicable Law
or its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law, including based on the results of the Independent Investigation; provided that counsel to the Debtors shall give notice not later than two (2) Business
Days following such determination (with email being sufficient) (a “Fiduciary Out Notice”), to counsel to the Initial Equity Commitment Parties following a determination made in accordance with this
Section 7.1 to take or not take action, in each case in a manner that would result in a breach of this Agreement. This Section 7.1 shall not be deemed to amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or constitute a waiver of any Party’s
rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article X or Section 7.1 of this Agreement that may arise as a result of any such action or inaction.
46
Section 7.2 Alternative Transactions.
From the date of this Agreement until the Closing Date, (i) each Debtor and its respective board of directors (or committees thereof, but not any individual director), officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants, consultants,
and other advisors or representatives, each acting in their capacity as such, shall have the right, consistent with their fiduciary duties, to continue to conclusion any ongoing discussions with interested parties and to respond to any inbound

exercise of its fiduciary duties, to accept or pursue an Alternative Restructuring Proposal, including an Acceptable Alternative Transaction, including by making any written or oral proposal or counterproposal with respect thereto, the Debtors
shall notify (with email being sufficient) counsel to the Initial Equity Commitment Parties within two (2) Business Days following such determination and/or proposal or counterproposal (with respect to a notice in respect of an Alternative
Restructuring Proposal that is not an Acceptable Alternative Transaction, an “Alternative Restructuring Counterproposal Notice”). Upon receipt of such Alternative Restructuring Counterproposal
Notice, the Required Equity Commitment Parties shall have the right to terminate this Agreement; provided that any such notice terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 7.2 must notify the
Debtors that the Required Equity Commitment Parties do not support the applicable Alternative Restructuring Proposal and would intend to credit bid their 2020 Term B-2 Loan Claims and Opco Term Loan Claims, if any, as an alternative to such
Alternative Restructuring Proposal. The Debtors’ advisors shall provide the Initial Equity Commitment Parties Advisors and any other party determined by the Debtors, with (x) regular updates as to the status and progress of any Alternative
Restructuring Proposals and (y) reasonable responses to any reasonable information requests related to any Alternative Restructuring Proposals or the Debtors’ actions taken pursuant to this Section 7.2. Nothing in this Agreement shall
impair or waive the rights of any Debtor to assert or raise any objection permitted under this Agreement in connection with the Restructuring Transactions, or (b) prevent any Debtor from enforcing this Agreement or contesting whether any matter,
fact, or thing is a breach of, or is inconsistent with, this Agreement.

Section 9.1 Indemnification Obligations. Following the entry of the Backstop Order, but effective as of the date hereof, the Debtors (the “Indemnifying

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 Equity Commitment Parties except to the extent otherwise provided for in this Agreement) (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, the Plan, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Backstop Commitment, the Equity Rights
Offering, the Expense Reimbursement, the payment of the Backstop Commitment Premium or the Backstop Commitment Termination Premium or the use of the proceeds of the Equity Rights Offering, 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 Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, their respective equity holders, Affiliates,
creditors or any other Person, and reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for reasonable documented out-of-pocket (with such documentation subject to redaction to preserve attorney client and work product privileges) legal or other
third-party 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 Equity Commitment Party or its Related
Parties, or (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person. The Indemnified Persons are
express third-party beneficiaries of this Article IX.
51
Section 9.2 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 Agreement. 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 or participation therein, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided, further, 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 documented out-of-pocket 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 such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such notice by the Indemnifying Party, or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have
authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person.
52
Section 9.3 Settlement of Indemnified Claims. 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 IX. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested the Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Person for legal or other
expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Indemnified Claims as contemplated by this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected without its
written consent if (a) such settlement is entered into more than thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such request for reimbursement and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in
accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. 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 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 9.4 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 9.1, 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 Holdings pursuant to the issuance and sale of the Rights Offering Shares in the
Equity Rights Offering contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan bears to (b) the Backstop Commitment Premium paid or proposed to be paid to the Equity Commitment Parties. Subject to Section 10.6, 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.
53
Section 9.5 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid
by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this Article IX shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Backstop Commitment Premium or the Backstop Commitment

62
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. The rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any party hereto otherwise may have at law or in equity.
Section 11.8 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.

Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, including pursuant to an order of
the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of posting a bond to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other
remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. 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 11.10 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

Related Parties shall have any duties or obligations to the other Equity 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 Equity Commitment Party or any of its Related Parties shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties to the other Equity Commitment Parties, (b) no Equity 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 Equity Commitment Party, (c) no Equity Commitment Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duty to the other Equity

such Equity Commitment Party or any of its Affiliates in any capacity, (d) no Equity Commitment Party may rely, and confirms that it has not relied, on any due diligence investigation that any other Equity Commitment Party or any Person acting on
behalf of such other Equity Commitment Party may have conducted with respect to the Debtors or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective securities, and (e) each Equity Commitment Party acknowledges that no other Equity 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.
63
Section 11.12 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 Rule 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). The Parties agree that any valuations of Holdings’s or other Debtor’s assets or estates, whether implied or otherwise, arising from this Agreement shall not be
binding for any other purpose, including determining recoveries under the Plan, and that this Agreement does not limit the Parties’ rights regarding valuation in the Chapter 11 Cases.
Section 11.13 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 the respective Related Parties of such Party or of the Affiliates of such Party (in each case other than
the Parties to this Agreement and each of their respective successors and permitted assignees under 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 such 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, that nothing in this Section 11.13 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 11.14 Severability. In the event that any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement are held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained
herein will not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 11.15 Enforceability of Agreement. Each of the Parties waives any right to assert that the exercise of termination rights under this Agreement is
subject to the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and expressly stipulates and consents hereunder to the prospective modification of the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of exercising termination rights
under this Agreement, to the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines that such relief is required.
