Each Supporting Party agrees that, for the duration of the Restructuring Support Period, such Supporting Party shall not sell, transfer, loan, issue, pledge, hypothecate, assign, grant, encumber or otherwise dispose of (including by participation), directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, any Claims and Interests now or hereafter beneficially owned by such Supporting Party or for which it now or hereafter serves as the nominee, investment manager or advisor for beneficial holders, as applicable, or any option thereon or any right or interest therein (including granting any proxies, depositing any such Claims and Interests into a voting trust or entering into a voting agreement with respect to any such Claims and Interests) (collectively, a “Transfer”), unless the transferee of such Claims and Interests (the “Transferee”) either (i) is a Supporting Party or, (ii) if such Transferee is not a Supporting Party, prior to the effectiveness of such Transfer, such Transferee agrees in writing, for the benefit of the Parties, to become a Supporting Party and to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement applicable to a Supporting Party (including with respect to any and all Claims

and Interests the Transferee already may then or subsequently own or control) by executing a joinder agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F each, a “Joinder Agreement”), and by delivering an executed copy thereof to the Company (in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 23 hereof and prior to the effectiveness of such Transfer), in which event (x) the Transferee shall be deemed to be a Supporting Party hereunder with respect to all of its owned or controlled Claims and Interests and (y) from and after the delivery of such executed copy of such Joinder Agreement to the Company (in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Section 23 hereof and prior to the effectiveness of such Transfer), the transferor Supporting Party shall be deemed to relinquish its rights, and be released from its obligations, under this Agreement to the extent of the transferred Claims and Interests; provided that in no event shall any such Transfer relieve a Party hereto from liability for its breach or non-performance of its obligations hereunder prior to the date of delivery of such Joinder Agreement; and provided further that each Supporting Party agrees that, if it has transferred some or all of the Claims and Interests and such Transferee is not authorized to vote any and all such Claims and Interests under applicable law or any applicable order of the Bankruptcy Court, it shall vote such Claims and Interests on behalf of such Transferee in a manner consistent with this Agreement and the obligations under Section 4(a) hereof.

Except as provided in Section 6(a), this Agreement, including any exhibits or schedules hereto, and the Operative Documents may not be modified, amended or supplemented except in a writing signed by the Company and the Requisite Supporting Parties; provided, however, that any portion of this Agreement, including any exhibits or schedules hereto, and the Operative Documents, relating to (i) the Creditor Trust, (ii) the New Warrants, (iii) the Luxor Claims and (iv) Luxor, may not be modified, amended or supplemented except in a writing signed by the Company, the Requisite Supporting Parties, and Luxor; provided further, however, notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if any such amendment, modification, waiver or supplement would adversely affect any of the rights or obligations (as applicable) of any Supporting Party in a manner that is different or disproportionate in any material respect from the effect on the rights or obligations (as applicable) of Supporting Parties generally, or if any such amendment, modification, waiver or supplement would impose any cost or liability upon any Supporting Party, such amendment, modification, waiver or supplement shall also require the written consent of such affected Supporting Party. In determining whether any consent or approval has been given or obtained by the Requisite Supporting Parties, any then-existing Supporting Party that is in material breach of its covenants, obligations or representations under this Agreement shall be excluded from such determination. For the purposes of this Section 9, the First Lien Agent and Second Lien Agent shall be considered Supporting Parties.

Section 10. Luxor Consent Rights. Notwithstanding anything herein or any other Operative Documents to the contrary, Luxor’s consent with respect to (i) each Plan, (ii) the Confirmation Order, (iii) the Disclosure Statement, (iv) the Disclosure Statement Order, (v) the Plan Supplement (other than the Creditor Trust Agreement and the New Warrant Agreement), (vi) the Interim DIP Order, (vii) the Final DIP Order, and (viii) the DIP Credit Agreement, shall only be to the extent such documents (a) are materially inconsistent with this Agreement or the Operative Documents, (b) impact the Creditor Trust (including the process for administering unsecured claims and the liquidation of the Litigation Assets) and the New Warrants, or (c) are materially adverse to Luxor or the Luxor Claims.

Section 11. Transaction Expenses. Subject to the terms of the DIP Order and/or the RSA Assumption Order, as applicable, so long as this Agreement has not been terminated and this Agreement remains in full force and effect, the Company hereby agrees to pay in cash in accordance with the terms of their respective engagement letters, the First Lien Loan Documents, the Second Lien Loan Documents, the Luxor Notes, or as otherwise may be agreed to by the Company and the Supporting Parties, the Transaction Expenses incurred prior to the earlier of the Effective Date and termination of this Agreement. The Company hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Transaction Expenses incurred prior to the termination of this Agreement are of the type that should be entitled to treatment as administrative expense claims pursuant to sections 503(b) and 507(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 12. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective and binding upon each Party upon the delivery of duly authorized and executed signature pages hereto by (a) RCS, (b) the Subsidiary Guarantors, (c) the Requisite Supporting Parties and (d) Luxor (the “Restructuring Support Effective Date”).

Section 13. Conflicts. In the event the terms and conditions set forth in the Operative Documents and in this Agreement are inconsistent, the Operative Documents shall control. In the event any of the terms and conditions set forth in any of the Operative Documents is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of another Operative Document, each Plan shall control. In the event of any conflict among the terms and provisions of the Confirmation Order, any Plan, this Agreement and the Operative Documents, the terms of the Confirmation Order shall control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13 shall affect, in any way, the requirements set forth herein for the amendment of this Agreement.

Section 14. 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. BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE 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 IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK, COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY CONSENT TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND WAIVE ANY OBJECTIONS AS TO VENUE OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING CONSENT TO JURISDICTION, SO LONG AS THE BANKRUPTCY COURT HAS JURISDICTION OVER THE COMPANY, EACH OF THE PARTIES AGREES THAT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

Section 15. Specific Performance/Remedies. Subject to the Parties’ termination rights provided herein, each Party hereto recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by it of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement will cause other Parties to sustain damages for which such parties would not have an adequate remedy at law for money damages, and therefore each Party agrees that in the event of any such breach, in addition to any other remedy to which such nonbreaching Party may be entitled, at law or in equity, such nonbreaching Party shall be entitled, to the extent available, to the remedy of specific performance of such covenants and agrees, including without limitation, seeking an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder. Each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with such remedy.

Section 16. Disclosure; Publicity. The Company shall submit drafts to counsel of each Supporting Party of any press releases, public documents and any and all filings with the SEC that (i) constitute disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement or any amendment to the terms of this Agreement at least two (2) Business Days prior to making any such disclosure, or (ii) any other disclosure that includes descriptions of the Restructuring Transaction or any Supporting Party and shall negotiate any proposed changes thereto in good faith.

Section 17. Survival. Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 6 hereof, the agreements and obligations of the Parties in this Section 17 and Sections 6(e), 6(f), 11 (to the extent of accrued, outstanding obligations and for no other reason), 14, 18, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 hereof and the last paragraph of Section 2 shall survive such termination and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof.

Section 18. Headings. The headings of the sections, paragraphs and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation hereof or, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Agreement.

Section 19. Successors and Assigns; Severability; Several Obligations. This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and representatives; provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 19 shall be deemed to permit sales, assignments or other Transfers of the Claims and Interests other than in accordance with Section 4(b) 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 hereof and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 19 shall be deemed to amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or constitute a waiver of, any Supporting Party Termination Event or any Company Termination Event.

Section 20. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Unless expressly stated herein, this Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties and no other Person shall be a third-party beneficiary hereof.

Section 21. Prior Negotiations; Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules hereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except that the Parties acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements (if any) heretofore executed between the Company and any Supporting Party shall continue in full force and effect.

Without in any way limiting the provisions hereof, additional Supporting Parties may elect to become Parties by executing and delivering to the Company a counterpart hereof. Such additional holder shall become a Party to this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 24. Reservation of Rights; No Admission. Subject to and except as expressly provided in this Agreement or in any amendment thereof agreed upon by the Parties pursuant to the terms hereof, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair or restrict the ability of each of the Parties to protect and preserve its rights, remedies and interests, including its claims against any of the other Parties (or their respective Affiliates or subsidiaries) or its full participation in the Chapter 11 Cases. Without limiting the foregoing sentence in any way, if the Restructuring Transaction is not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights, remedies, claims and defenses, and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, claims and defenses. This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the 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 thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms. This Agreement shall in no event be construed as, or be deemed to be, evidence of an admission or concession on the part of any Party of any claim or fault or liability or damages whatsoever. Each of the 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.

Section 25. Fiduciary Duties.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) nothing in this Agreement shall require any Company Party or any directors or officers of any Company Party to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, that would breach, or be inconsistent with, its or their fiduciary obligations under applicable law, and (ii) to the extent that such fiduciary obligations require any Company Party or any directors or officers of any Company Party 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, however, that nothing in this Section 25 shall be deemed to amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or constitute a waiver of, any Supporting Party Termination Event that may arise as a result of any such action or omission.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Agreement shall create any additional fiduciary obligations on the part of the Company or any directors or officers of the Company that did not exist prior to the execution of this Agreement.

Section 26. Representation by Counsel. Each Party acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel with respect to this Agreement and the Restructuring Transaction. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived. No Party shall be considered to be the drafter of this Agreement or any of its provisions for the purpose of any statute, decision or rule of interpretation or construction that would, or might cause, any provision to be construed against such Party.

Section 27. Relationship Among Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the duties and obligations of the Supporting Parties under this Agreement shall be several, not joint. It is understood and agreed that no Supporting Party has any duty of trust or confidence of any kind or form with respect to any other Supporting Party or the Company, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, there are no commitments between or among them. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that any Supporting Party may trade in the Claims and Interests without the consent of the Company or any other Supporting Party, subject to applicable securities laws and the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that no Supporting Party shall have any responsibility for any such trading to any other Person by virtue of this Agreement. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences between or among the Supporting Parties or the Company shall in any way affect or negate this Agreement. No Supporting Party 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 and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) with any of the other Supporting Parties.

Section 28. Trading Wall. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Parties acknowledge that the support of any Supporting Party contained in this Agreement (and its rights and obligations hereunder) relates solely to such Supporting Party’s Claims and Interests set forth on such Supporting Party’s signature page or hereafter acquired by such Supporting Party and does not bind such Supporting Party’s Affiliates with respect to any other Claims or Interests, equity, other claims or other indebtedness of RCS or any of its subsidiaries and Affiliates. Notwithstanding anything else herein for purposes of this Agreement, (x) Claims and Interests of a Supporting Party that are held by such Supporting Party in a fiduciary or similar capacity and (y) Claims and Interests held by a Supporting Party in its capacity as a broker, dealer or market maker of loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Credit Agreement or with respect to any other claim against or security in RCS or any of its Affiliates (including any loans or claims held in inventory with respect to such broker, dealer, or market-making activities, provided that the positions with respect to such loans, claims or securities are separately identified on the internal books and records of such Supporting Party) shall not, in either case (x) or (y), be bound by or subject to this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Supporting Party is specified on the relevant signature page as a particular group or business within an entity, “Restructuring Support Party” shall mean such group or business and shall not mean the entity or its Affiliates, or any other desk or business thereof, or any third party funds advised thereby.

Section 29. First Lien Agent and Second Lien Agent.

(a) Except to the extent required by the terms of the First Lien Documents or Second Lien Documents or by applicable law, the First Lien Agent or Second Lien Agent (as applicable) shall be permitted to exercise their duties and obligations under the First Lien Documents or Second Lien Documents (as applicable) in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) Each of the First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent shall grant or withhold any consent or approval under this Agreement in accordance with the directions of the First Lien Required Lenders under and in accordance with the First Lien Credit Agreement or the Second Lien Required Lenders under and in accordance with the Second Lien Credit Agreement, as the case may be, and each First Lien Lender or Second Lien Lender that is a Party hereto shall act reasonably in so instructing the First Lien Agent or the Second Lien Agent, respectively; provided that, subject to their obligations under this Agreement, the First Lien Agent and the Second Lien Agent may grant or withhold its consent or approval without such instructions to the extent that the same shall affect the rights or liabilities of the First Lien Agent or the Second Lien Agent, respectively.

[Signature pages follow]

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be executed and delivered by their respective duly authorized officers, solely in their respective capacity as officers of the undersigned and not in any other capacity, as of the date first set forth above.
