9.01 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall require (a) any Debtor or the board of directors, board of managers, or similar governing body of any Debtor, or (b) the Creditors’
Committee or any member thereof (the aforementioned parties collectively as to the Debtors and the Creditors’
Committee, “Fiduciaries”), in each case, 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 or the Creditors’ Committee, as applicable, shall give notice not later than two (2) Business Days following such determination (with email being sufficient) (a “Fiduciary Out Notice”), to counsel to each other Party to this Agreement following a determination made in accordance with this Section 9.01 to take or not take action, in each case in a manner that would result in a breach

Claims/Interests to any affiliated or unaffiliated party, including any party in which it may hold a direct or indirect beneficial interest, unless (a “Permitted
Transfer”):
(a) the authorized transferee is (i) a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act, (ii) a non-U.S. person in an offshore transaction as
defined under Regulation S under the Securities Act, (iii) an institutional accredited investor (as defined in rules 501(a)(1), (2), (3), and (7) of the Securities Act), or (iv) a Consenting Lender; and
(b) the transferee (i) executes and delivers to counsel to the Debtors and counsel to the Consenting Creditor Parties in accordance with Section 15.07, within two (2) Business Days of the Transfer, a fully executed Transfer Agreement, (ii) controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such transferor
Consenting Lender or is an affiliate, affiliated fund, or affiliated entity with a common investment advisor therewith that is bound by this Agreement, or (iii) is a Consenting Lender (or controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with a
Consenting Lender or is an affiliate, affiliated fund, or affiliated entity with a common investment advisor therewith that is bound by this Agreement) unaffiliated with such transferor Consenting Lender,
and, in the case of (iii), the transferee provides notice of such Transfer and the identification of the Consenting Lender that is the transferee or affiliated therewith (including the amount and type of Company Claim/Interest transferred) to counsel to the Debtors and counsel to the Consenting Creditor Parties in accordance with Section 15.07, within two (2) Business Days of the Transfer.
10.02 Upon compliance with the requirements of Section 10.01, the transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations) under this Agreement to the extent of the rights and obligations in respect of such transferred Company Claims/Interests. Any Transfer in violation of Section 10.01 shall be void ab initio. Any Consenting Lender that effectuates a Transfer in accordance with this Section 10 shall have no liability under this Agreement arising from or
related to the failure of the transferee to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
10.03 This Agreement
shall in no way be construed to preclude the Consenting Lenders from acquiring additional Company Claims/Interests; provided that (a) such additional Company Claims/Interests shall automatically and immediately upon acquisition by a Consenting Lender be deemed subject to the terms of this Agreement (regardless of when or whether notice of such acquisition is given to counsel to the Debtors or counsel to the Consenting Creditor Parties), and (b) such Consenting Lender must provide notice of such acquisition (including the amount and type of Company
Claim/Interest acquired) on a confidential basis to counsel to the Debtors within three (3) Business Days of such acquisition.
23
10.04 This Section 10 shall not impose any obligation on any Debtor to issue any “cleansing letter” or otherwise publicly disclose information for the purpose of enabling a Consenting Lender to Transfer any of its Company Claims/Interests or acquire any Company Claims/Interests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent a Debtor and another Party have entered into a Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of such Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to apply and remain in full force and effect according to its terms, and this Agreement does not supersede any rights or obligations otherwise arising under such Confidentiality
Agreements.
10.05 Notwithstanding Section 10.01, a Qualified Marketmaker that acquires any Company Claims/Interests shall not (x) be required to be or
become a Consenting Lender to effect any Transfer of any Company Claims/Interests by a Consenting Lender to such Qualified Marketmaker or (y) be required to execute and deliver a Transfer Agreement in respect of such Company Claims/Interests if (a) such Qualified Marketmaker acquired such Company
Claims/Interests with the purpose and intent of acting as a Qualified Marketmaker, (b) such Qualified Marketmaker subsequently Transfers such Company Claims/Interests (by purchase, sale assignment, participation, or otherwise) within ten (10) Business Days of its acquisition to a transferee that is an Entity that is not an affiliate, affiliated fund, or affiliated entity with a common investment advisor,
(c) such subsequent transferee otherwise is a Permitted Transferee under Section 10.01, and (d) such subsequent Transfer otherwise is a Permitted Transfer under Section 10.01. To the extent that a Consenting Lender is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may Transfer or
participate any right, title, or interest in any Company Claims/Interests that the Qualified Marketmaker acquires from a holder of Company Claims/Interests who is not a party hereto without the requirement that the transferee be a Permitted Transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent Section 10.01 is
applicable to such Transfer, the ultimate Permitted Transferee must deliver a properly executed Transfer
Agreement to the Debtors in accordance with Section 15.10 unless such Permitted Transferee is a Consenting Lender as of the date of the Transfer.
10.06 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10, the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 10 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.
(a) Each Consenting Lender, severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants that, as of the date such Consenting Lender executes and delivers this Agreement:
(i) it is (except as indicated on such Consenting Xxxxxx’s signature page with respect to validly executed but unsettled trades), the beneficial or record owner of the face amount of
the Company Claims/Interests or is the nominee, investment manager, or advisor for beneficial holders of the Company Claims/Interests
reflected in, and, having made reasonable inquiry, is not the beneficial or record owner of any Company Claims/Interests other than those reflected in, such Consenting Xxxxxx’s signature page to this Agreement, a Transfer Agreement or a Joinder, as applicable (as may be updated pursuant to Section 10);
24
(ii) the Company Claims/Interests held by it are free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity,
option, proxy, voting restriction, right of first refusal, or other limitation on disposition, Transfer, or encumbrances of any kind, that would adversely affect in any way such Consenting Lender’s ability to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement at the time such obligations are required to be performed; and
(iii) (A) with
respect to settled trades, it has the full power to vote and consent to matters concerning all of its Company Claims/Interests referable to it as contemplated by this Agreement subject to applicable Law; and (B) with respect to trades that are
not settled by the Voting Record Date (as defined in the Disclosure Statement), it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise all rights it has under the related trade confirmation to cause and direct the applicable record holder to
vote and consent to matters concerning all of its Company Claims/Interests referable to it as contemplated by this Agreement subject to applicable Law; and
(iv) in connection with the Plan, it has the
full power to settle and release all Settled Claims arising out of or relating to such Consenting Lender’s Company Claims/Interests or such Consenting Xxxxxx’s capacity as a creditor of the Debtors, including, as applicable, as a lender under
the 2016 Credit Agreement or the BrandCo Credit Agreement, as applicable.
(b) In addition to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 11(a), each Consenting Lender, severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants that,

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting any Party from contesting whether any such termination is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or to seek enforcement of any rights under this Agreement that arose or existed before a Termination Date. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict any right of any Party or the ability of any Party to protect and reserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims against any other Party.

or more Termination Events. Nothing in this Section 13.07 shall restrict any Debtor’s
right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.04(a). Following the occurrence of a Termination Date, the following shall survive any such termination: (a) any claim for breach of this Agreement that occurs prior to such Termination Date, and all rights

and 15.19 hereof. The automatic stay applicable under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code
shall not prohibit a Party from taking any action or delivering any notice necessary to effectuate the termination of this Agreement pursuant to and in accordance with the terms hereof. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that any provision of this Section
13.07 conflicts with Section 6 hereof, Section 6 shall control.

rights of the holders of General Unsecured Claims and/or Unsecured Notes Claims, then the consent of the Creditors’ Committee shall also be required to effectuate such modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement; (ii) if the proposed modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement has a material,
disproportionate, and adverse effect on the treatment or economic recovery of the OpCo Term Loan Claims (including in a manner that disproportionately and materially adversely affects OpCo Term Loan Claims as a class as compared to 2020 Term B-2
Loan Claims as a class), then the consent of the Required Consenting 2016 Lenders shall also be required to effectuate such modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement; and (iii) if the proposed modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement
has a material, disproportionate, and adverse effect on the treatment or economic recovery of any of the Company Claims/Interests held by a Consenting Lender, then the consent of each such affected Consenting Lender shall also be required to
effectuate such modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement.
32

No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement
shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power, or remedy or any provision of this Agreement, nor shall any single
or partial exercise of such right, power, or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or remedy or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy. All remedies
under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.

Any notice given by delivery, mail, or courier shall be effective when received.
15.11 Reservation of Rights; Waiver. If the Restructuring Transactions are
not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason pursuant to Section
13 (other than pursuant to Section 13.06), the Parties each fully reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, claims, and interests,
subject to Sections 14 and Section 6 herein, in the case of any claim for breach of this Agreement. Further, nothing herein shall be construed to prohibit any Party from appearing as a party in interest in any matter to be adjudicated in the Chapter 11 Cases, so long as, during the Agreement
Effective Period, such appearance and the positions advocated in connection therewith are consistent with this Agreement
and any Definitive Document and are not for the purpose of, and could not reasonably be expected to have the effect of, hindering, delaying, or preventing the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions.
15.12 Independent Due Diligence and Decision-Making. Each Consenting
Creditor Party hereby confirms that its decision to execute this Agreement has been based upon its independent
investigation of the operations, businesses, financial, and other conditions, and prospects of the Debtors.
15.13 Settlement or Compromise. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and
any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into
evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms, pursue the consummation of the Restructuring Transactions, or the payment of damages to which a Party may be entitled under this Agreement.
36
15.14 Specific Performance. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages
would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party,
and, except as otherwise provided herein (including Section 6.02 hereof), each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or
other equitable relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) as a remedy of any such breach, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent
jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder. 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.
15.15 Several, Not Joint, Claims. Except where otherwise specified, the agreements,
representations, warranties, and obligations of the Consenting Creditor Parties under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint.
15.16 Severability and Construction. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect if essential terms and conditions of this
Agreement for each Party remain valid, binding, and enforceable.
15.17 Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided herein (including Section 6.02
hereof), all rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at Law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later
exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party.
15.18 Capacities of Consenting Lenders. Each Consenting Lender has entered into this Agreement on account of all Company Claims/Interests that it holds (directly or through discretionary
accounts that it manages or advises) and, except where otherwise specified in this Agreement, shall take or refrain from
taking all actions that it is obligated to take or refrain from taking under this Agreement with respect to all such Company Claims/Interests.
15.19 Email Consents. Where a written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver is required pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement, pursuant to Section 3, Section 14, or otherwise, including a written approval by the Debtors, the Required Consenting BrandCo
Lenders, the Required Consenting 2016 Lenders, and the Creditors’ Committee, such written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver shall be deemed to have occurred if, by agreement between counsel to the Parties submitting and receiving such consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver, it is conveyed in writing (including electronic mail)
between each such counsel without representations or warranties of any kind on behalf of such counsel.
37
15.20 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.
(a) None of the Consenting Creditor Parties shall have any fiduciary duty, any duty of trust or confidence in any form, or other duties or responsibilities in
any kind or form to each other, any Consenting Creditor Party, any Debtor, or any of the Debtor’s
respective creditors or other stakeholders, and there are no commitments among or between the Consenting Lenders as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein or in the Plan,
in each case except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by any Consenting Lender pursuant hereto is intended to constitute the Consenting Lenders as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that any Consenting Lender is in any way acting in concert or as a member of a “group” with any other Consenting Lender or Consenting Lenders within the meaning of Rule 13d-5
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As of the date hereof and for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, 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 Debtors and do not constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act or Rule 13d-5 promulgated thereunder.
(b) The Debtors acknowledge that the Consenting Lenders are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses, and, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Consenting Lenders and the Debtors acknowledge and agree that the obligations set forth in this Agreement
shall only apply to the trading desk(s) and/or business group(s) of the Consenting Lenders that principally manage and/or supervise such Consenting Lender’s investment in the Debtors, and shall not apply to any other trading desk or business group of such Consenting Lender so long as they are not acting at the direction or for the benefit of such Consenting Lender.
15.22 Fees and Expenses. The Debtors shall promptly pay or reimburse
when due all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of (a) the BrandCo Lender Group Advisors incurred prior to and during the Agreement Effective Period and after any termination pursuant
to Section 13.06, and (b) subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein or in the Final DIP Order and consistent with the orders and
procedures applicable to the payment of compensation to estate professionals, the Creditors’ Committee; provided that nothing herein shall alter or modify
the Debtors’ payment obligations under the Final DIP Order or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court governing
compensation of estate professionals. On the Plan Effective Date, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and so long as this Agreement has not been terminated as to all of the Consenting 2016 Lenders that are members of the Ad Hoc
Group of 2016 Term Loan Lenders, the Debtors shall pay or reimburse all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of (x) the 2016 Term Loan Lender Group Advisors incurred prior to February 16, 2023, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $11 million
(excluding any fees and expenses paid to the 2016 Term Loan Lender Group Advisors prior to February 16, 2023) and (y) Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxx & Xxxx LLP, as counsel to the Ad Hoc Group of 2016 Term Loan Lenders, incurred after February 16, 2023
through the Plan Effective Date, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $350,000 per month (with such cap prorated for any partial months during such period); provided that such fees and expenses referenced in
this clause (y) shall be limited to amounts incurred in furtherance of the Restructuring Transactions and shall be subject to the limitations on the use of funds set forth in paragraph 28 of the Final DIP Order.
