to any such claims or interests (the actions described in clauses (i) and
(ii) are collectively referred to herein as a “Transfer” and the Consenting
Lender or Consenting Equity Holder, as applicable, making such Transfer is
referred to herein as the “Transferor”), unless such Transfer is to another
Consenting Lender or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consenting Equity Holders, as applicable, or any other entity that (x) first
agrees, in writing, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by executing and
delivering to the Company, at least five (5) business days prior to
effectiveness of the relevant Transfer, a Transferee Joinder substantially in
the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F (the “Transferee Joinder”) and (y) is
reasonably capable, after due inquiry and investigation by the Transferor, of
fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, provided that, nothing in this
Section 14(a) shall prohibit or otherwise affect any Consenting Lender’s pledge
of its interests under the Term Loan Agreement to such Consenting Lender’s own
lender in the ordinary course of business; provided further that, nothing in
this Section 14(a) shall prohibit the settlement of trades of claims under the
Term Loan Agreement by a Consenting Lender made prior to the date of this
Agreement. With respect to the Term Loan Agreement, EveryWare Preferred Stock,
EveryWare Common Stock, and any other claims against, or interests in, the
Company held by the relevant transferee upon consummation of a Transfer, such
transferee shall be deemed to make all of the representations and warranties of
a Transferor set forth in this Agreement, and shall be deemed to be a Party and
a Consenting Lender or Consenting Equity Holder, as applicable, for all purposes
under the Agreement. Upon compliance with the foregoing, the Transferor shall be
deemed to relinquish its rights under this Agreement solely to the extent of
such transferred rights and obligations but shall otherwise remain party to this
Agreement as a Consenting Lender or Consenting Equity Holder, as applicable,
with respect to any interest in the Term Loan Agreement, EveryWare Preferred
Stock, EveryWare Common Stock, or other claim or interest not so transferred.
Any Transfer made in violation of this Section 14 shall be deemed null and void
and of no force or effect, regardless of any prior notice provided to the
Parties, and shall not create any obligation or liability of the Company to the
purported transferee (it being understood that the putative transferor shall
continue to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement).

(b) Notwithstanding Section 14(a), (i) a Consenting Lender may transfer (by
purchase, sale, assignment, participation or otherwise) its right, title, and/or
interest in respect of any of such Consenting Lender’s interests in the Term
Loan Agreement 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 Lender, provided that such transfer shall only be valid if such
Qualified Marketmaker transfers (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation or
otherwise) such right, title and/or interest within five (5) business days of
its receipt thereof to a transferee that is, or concurrent with such transfer
becomes, a Consenting Lender, and (ii) to the extent that a party to this
Agreement is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may transfer
(by purchase, sale, assignment, participation or otherwise) any right, title, or
interest in respect of any interests in the Term Loan Agreement that the
Qualified Marketmaker acquires from a holder of such interests who is not a
Consenting Lender without the requirement that the transferee be or become a
Consenting Lender. For these purposes, a “Qualified Marketmaker” means an entity
that (x) holds itself out to the market as standing ready in the ordinary course
of its business to purchase from customers and sell to customers claims against
the Company (including debt securities or other debt) or enter with customers
into long and short positions in claims against the Company (including debt
securities or other debt), in its capacity as a dealer or market maker in such
claims against the Company and (y) is in fact regularly in the business of
making a market in claims against issuers or borrowers (including debt
securities or other debt).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15. Professional Fees and Expenses. The Company shall pay or reimburse when due
all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Consenting Lenders
incurred by the following advisors to the Consenting Lenders in connection with
the Restructuring: (i) Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP; (ii) Houlihan Lokey
Capital, Inc. as set forth in that certain letter agreement to be entered into
with the Company, and (iii) local counsel. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing
in this Section 15 shall be construed as limiting any of the Company’s
obligations under the Term Loan Agreement or DIP Facility.

16. Acknowledgment. No securities of the Company are being offered or sold
hereby and this Agreement neither constitutes an offer to sell nor a
solicitation of an offer to buy any securities of the Company. This Agreement is
not, and shall not be deemed to be, a solicitation of a vote for the acceptance
of the Plan. The acceptance of the Plan by each of the Consenting Lenders will
not be solicited until such Parties have received the Disclosure Statement and
related ballots in accordance with applicable law (including as provided under
sections 1125(g) and 1126(b) of the Bankruptcy Code) and will be subject to
sections 1125, 1126, and 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code.

18. Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Company from taking or
failing to take any action that it is obligated to take (or fail to take) in the
performance of any fiduciary duty or as

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

otherwise required by applicable law which the Company owes to any other person
or entity under applicable law. The Company represents to the Consenting Lenders
that as of the Effective Date, based on the facts and circumstances actually
known by the Company as of the Effective Date, the Company’s entry into this
Agreement is consistent with the Company’s fiduciary duties.

19. Survival of Agreement. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that this
Agreement is being executed in connection with negotiations concerning a
possible financial restructuring of the Company and in contemplation of possible
chapter 11 filings by the Company and the rights granted in this Agreement are
enforceable by each signatory hereto without approval of any court, including
the Bankruptcy Court.

20. No Waiver or Admissions. If the transactions contemplated herein are or are
not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, nothing
herein shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s
rights, remedies, or interests, and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of
their respective rights, remedies, and interests. 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. No Party shall have, by reason of this Agreement,
a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Party or any person or entity,
and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be
so construed as to impose upon any Party any obligations in respect of this
Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. This Agreement and the
Restructuring are part of a proposed settlement of a dispute among the Parties.
Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any applicable state rules of
evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be
admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding involving
enforcement of the terms of this Agreement.

21. Relationship Among Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the duties and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be several,
not joint. No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among
or between Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and
Agreement.

22. Specific Performance; Remedies Cumulative. Each Party acknowledges and
agrees that the exact nature and extent of damages resulting from a breach of
this Agreement are uncertain at the time of entering into this Agreement and
that any such breach of this Agreement would result in damages that would be
difficult to determine with certainty. It is understood and agreed by the
Parties that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this
Agreement by any Party, and that each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to
seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy
of any such breach, including, without limitation, an order of the Bankruptcy
Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply
promptly with any of its obligations hereunder. Such remedy shall not be deemed
to be the exclusive remedy for the breach of this Agreement by any Party or its
representatives, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this
Section shall affect the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Company’s rights under Section 18. 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 by any Party hereto shall not preclude the simultaneous or
later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy hereunder.

23. Governing Law & Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard
to such state’s choice of law provisions which would require the application of
the law of any other jurisdiction. By its execution and delivery of this
Agreement, each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself
that any legal action, suit, or proceeding against it with respect to any matter
arising under, arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit, or
proceeding, shall be brought in either the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York or any New York State court sitting in New York
City, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties
irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of such
court, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or
proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Chapter 11 Cases are
commenced, each Party agrees that the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive
jurisdiction of all matters arising under, arising out of, or in connection with
this Agreement. By execution and delivery of this Agreement, and upon
commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, each of the Parties irrevocably and
unconditionally submits to the personal jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court
solely for purposes of any action, suit, or proceeding or other contested matter
arising under, arising out of, or in connection with this Agreement, or for
recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered or order entered in any such
action, suit, proceeding, or other contested matter.

24. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. Each of the Parties waives any right to
have a jury participate in resolving any dispute, whether sounding in contract,
tort, or otherwise, between any of them arising out of, arising under, in
connection with, relating to, or incidental to the relationship established
between any of them in connection with this Agreement. Instead, any disputes
resolved in court shall be resolved in a bench trial without a jury.

25. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon each of the Parties and their respective successors, assigns,
heirs, transferees, executors, administrators, and representatives, in each case
solely as such parties are permitted under this Agreement; provided, however,
that nothing contained in this Section 25 shall be deemed to permit any
transfer, tender, vote, or consent of any claims other than in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement.

26. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be solely for the benefit
of the Parties hereto (or any other party that may become a Party to this
Agreement pursuant to Section 14 of this Agreement), and no other person or
entity shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement.

27. Notices. All notices (including, without limitation, any notice of
termination) and other communications from any Party given or made pursuant to
this Agreement shall be in

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

therewith), applicable law, and in equity.

Loans, holders of the Term Loans shall receive shares, on a pro rata basis, of
new common stock issued by EveryWare (“New Common Stock”) equal to 96% of the
total outstanding New Common Stock of Reorganized EveryWare upon the
consummation of the Restructuring, subject to dilution by the Management
Incentive Plan (defined below) (the “Term Lender Shares Issuance”).

 

1 Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the meanings
ascribed to such terms in the Term Loan Agreement.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

iii. General Unsecured Claims: Holders of general unsecured claims against the
Company shall be paid in full in the ordinary course, provided that no material
unsecured claims exist except as incurred in the ordinary course of business or
as specifically identified herein; provided further, that the Company shall
retain all ordinary course rights and defenses with respect to general unsecured
claims. iv. Existing Preferred Stock: In exchange for the cancellation of all
shares of EveryWare’s current outstanding preferred stock (the “Existing
Preferred Stock”), holders of the Existing Preferred Stock shall receive shares,
on a pro rata basis, equal to 2.5% of the total outstanding New Common Stock of
Reorganized EveryWare upon the consummation of the Restructuring, subject to
dilution by the Management Incentive Plan (defined below), provided that, in the
event that any of the MCP Funds or any of the Clinton Funds objects to, delays,
interferes with or otherwise impedes, directly or indirectly, the Restructuring
(as defined in the RSA), including, but not limited to, the Plan (as defined in
the RSA) or the DIP Facility, holders of the Existing Preferred Stock shall not
receive (i) any recovery on account of those interests and holders of the Term
Loans shall receive 100% of the New Common Stock or (ii) any releases under the
Plan. v. Existing Common Stock: In exchange for the cancellation of all (a)
shares of EveryWare’s current outstanding common stock and (b) outstanding
vested options or unexercised warrants to acquire shares of EveryWare’s current
outstanding stock that are in the money (subparts (a) and (b), collectively,
“Existing Common Stock”), holders of Existing Common Stock shall receive shares,
on a pro rata basis, equal to 1.5% of the total outstanding New Common Stock of
Reorganized EveryWare upon the consummation of the Restructuring, subject to
dilution by the Management Incentive Plan (defined below), provided that, in the
event that any of the MCP Funds or any of the Clinton Funds objects to, delays,
interferes with or otherwise impedes, directly or indirectly, the Restructuring
(as defined in the RSA), including, but not limited to, the Plan (as defined in

Plan, provided further that,

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, solely with respect to the
distribution of New Common Stock to holders of Existing Common Stock, the
Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall, in lieu of distributing
New Common Stock to holders of Existing Common Stock, instead provide for a
mechanism to distribute Cash to the holders of Existing Common Stock (either by
distributing Cash directly or by issuing such New Common Stock to a trust and
providing for liquidation of such shares and distribution of the proceeds
thereof or some other mechanism), on such terms that are reasonably acceptable
to the Majority Consenting Lenders as further described in a document contained
in the Plan Supplement (as defined in the Plan), unless, in the opinion of the
Majority Consenting Lenders (as defined in the Plan), the distribution of New
Common Stock would, following the Effective Date, (a) still permit reorganized
EveryWare to cease to file reports required by Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act
in accordance with Rule 12g-4 under the Exchange Act, and (b) would not require
reorganized EveryWare to be required to resume filing reports pursuant Section
13(a) of the Exchange Act following such cessation; provided, however, that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, the MCP Funds, the Clinton Funds, and any Lenders
under the Term Loan Facility that is a holder of Existing Common Stock shall in
any event receive a distribution of New Common Stock directly rather than Cash
as contemplated by this paragraph. vi. Existing Out-of-the-Money Warrants: All
(a) outstanding options and unexercised warrants to acquire shares of
EveryWare’s current outstanding common stock that are out of the money, and (b)
unvested options to acquire shares of EveryWare’s current outstanding common
stock whether or not in the money (subparts (a) and (b), collectively, “Existing
Out-of-the-Money Warrants”) shall be cancelled. Holders of Existing
Out-of-the-Money Warrants shall not receive any recovery on account of those
interests. vii. Management Incentive Plan: Upon the consummation of the
Restructuring, all existing management equity-based compensation plans shall be
cancelled. The Reorganized Company may implement a management incentive plan
(the “Management Incentive Plan”) pursuant to which certain officers and
employees of the Reorganized Company shall be entitled to receive, in the
aggregate, shares and/or options to acquire shares of New Common Stock up to 10%
of the total outstanding New Common Stock of Reorganized EveryWare (on a fully
diluted basis) at the discretion of the board of directors of the Reorganized
Company after the Plan’s effective date.

and thus are excluded from the Classes of Claims set forth in ARTICLE III.

 

2.1 Administrative Claims

Unless otherwise agreed to by the holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim and
the Debtors, in consultation with the Majority Consenting Lenders, or the
Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, each holder of an Allowed Administrative
Claim (other than holders of Professional Claims and Claims for fees and
expenses pursuant to section 1930 of chapter 123 of title 28 of the United
States Code) will receive in full and final satisfaction of its Administrative
Claim an amount of Cash equal to the amount of such Allowed Administrative Claim
either: (a) if an Administrative Claim is Allowed on or prior to the Effective
Date, on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (or,
if not then due, when such Allowed Administrative Claim is due or as soon as
reasonably practicable thereafter); (b) if such Administrative Claim is not
Allowed as of the Effective Date, no later than 30 days after the date on which
an order Allowing such Administrative Claim becomes a Final Order, or as soon as
reasonably practicable thereafter; (c) if such Allowed Administrative Claim is
based on liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of their
business after the Petition Date in accordance with the terms and conditions of
the particular transaction giving rise to such Allowed Administrative Claim
without any further action by the holders of such Allowed Administrative Claim;
(d) at such time and upon such terms as may be agreed upon by such Holder and
the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable; or (e) at such time and
upon such terms as set forth in an order of the Bankruptcy Court.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2.2 DIP Facility Claims

Except to the extent that a holder of a DIP Facility Claim agrees to less
favorable treatment, to the extent the Debtors exercise the Exit Conversion,
each holder of a DIP Facility Claim shall receive Exit Facility Notes in a face
amount equal to the amount of such DIP Facility Claim and shall otherwise be
governed by the Exit Facility Documents. If the Debtors do not exercise the Exit
Conversion, each holder of a DIP Facility Claim shall receive payment in full in
Cash plus the Prepayment Penalty.

 

2.3 Professional Claims

All requests for payment of Professional Claims for services rendered and
reimbursement of expenses incurred prior to the Confirmation Date must be filed
no later than 45 days after the Effective Date. The Bankruptcy Court shall
determine the Allowed amounts of such Professional Claims after notice and a
hearing in accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Code.
The Reorganized Debtors shall pay Professional Claims in Cash in the amount the
Bankruptcy Court allows, including from the Professional Fee Escrow Account,
which the Reorganized Debtors will establish in trust for the Professionals and
fund with Cash equal to the Professional Fee Amount on the Effective Date.
Professionals shall deliver to the Debtors their estimates for purposes of the
Reorganized Debtors computing the Professional Fee Amount no later than five
Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date. For the avoidance of
doubt, no such estimate shall be deemed to limit the amount of the fees and
expenses that are the subject of a Professional’s final request for payment of
Professional Claims filed with the Bankruptcy Court. If a Professional does not
provide an estimate, the Debtors may estimate the unpaid and unbilled fees and
expenses of such Professional. No funds in the Professional Fee Escrow Account
shall be property of the Estates. Any funds remaining in the Professional Fee
Escrow Account after all Allowed Professional Claims have been paid will be
turned over to New Holdco.

From and after the Confirmation Date, any requirement that Professionals comply
with sections 327 through 331 and 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code in seeking
retention or compensation for services rendered after such date shall terminate,
and the Reorganized Debtors may employ and pay any Professional in the ordinary
course of business without any further notice to or action, order, or approval
of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

2.4 Priority Tax Claims

Each holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim due and payable on or before the
Effective Date shall receive on the Effective Date, or as soon as practicable
thereafter, from the respective Debtor liable for such Allowed Priority Tax
Claim, payment in Cash in an amount equal to the amount of such Allowed Priority
Tax Claim. To the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim is not due and owing on
the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in full in Cash in accordance with
the terms of any agreement between the Debtors and the holder of such Claim, or
as may be due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law, or in the
ordinary course of business.

This Plan constitutes a separate Plan proposed by each Debtor. Except for the
Claims addressed in ARTICLE II, all Claims and Interests are classified in the
Classes set forth below in accordance with section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code.
A Claim or an Interest is classified in a particular Class only to the extent
that the Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of that Class and is
classified in other Classes to the extent that any portion of the Claim or
Interest qualifies within the description of such other Classes. A Claim or an
Interest also is classified in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving
distributions under the Plan only to the extent that such Claim or Interest is
an Allowed Claim or Interest in that Class and has not been paid, released, or
otherwise satisfied prior to the Effective Date.

ARTICLE IV

PROVISIONS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

Unless otherwise set forth in the Plan, pursuant to section 1123 of the
Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the
classification, distributions, releases, and other benefits provided under the
Plan, on the Effective Date, the provisions of the Plan shall constitute a
good-faith compromise and settlement of all Claims and Interests.

 

4.2 New Common Stock

All existing Equity Interests in EveryWare Global shall be cancelled as of the
Effective Date and New Holdco shall issue the New Common Stock to holders of
Claims and Interests entitled to receive New Common Stock pursuant to the Plan.
The issuance of New Common Stock, including any options for the purchase thereof
and equity awards associated therewith, is authorized without the need for any
further corporate action and without any further action by the Debtors or New
Holdco, as applicable. New Holdco’s Governance Documents shall authorize the
issuance and distribution on the Effective Date of New Common Stock to the
Distribution Agent for the benefit of holders of Allowed Claims in Class 5 and,
subject to Section 3.2(i)(2) and Section 3.2(j)(2) hereof, holders of EveryWare
Preferred Stock and EveryWare Common Stock. All New Common Stock issued under
the Plan shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and

thereby.

mechanism to distribute Cash to the holders of EveryWare Common Stock (either by
distributing Cash directly or by issuing such New Common Stock to a trust and
providing for liquidation of such shares and distribution of the proceeds
thereof or some other mechanism), on such terms that are reasonably acceptable
to the Majority Consenting Lenders as further described in a document contained
in the Plan Supplement, unless, in the opinion of the Majority Consenting
Lenders, the distribution of New Common Stock would, following the Effective
Date, (a) still permit reorganized EveryWare Global to cease to file reports
required by Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act in accordance with Rule 12g-4
under the Exchange Act, and (b) would not require reorganized EveryWare Global
to be required to resume filing reports pursuant Section 13(a) of the Exchange
Act following such cessation; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the
foregoing, the MCP Funds, the Clinton Funds, and any Term Loan Lender that is a
holder of EveryWare Common Stock shall in any event receive a distribution of
New Common Stock directly rather than Cash as contemplated by this paragraph.

 

4.3 Exit Facility

If the Debtors exercise the Exit Conversion, on the Effective Date, the Debtors

Exit Facility Documents, and all transactions contemplated thereby, including,
without limitation, any supplemental or additional syndication of the Exit
Facility, and all actions to be taken, undertakings to be made, and obligations
to be incurred by the Reorganized Debtors in connection therewith, including the
payment of all fees, indemnities, and expenses provided for therein, and
authorization of the Reorganized Debtors to enter into and execute the Exit
Facility Documents and such other documents as may be required to effectuate the
treatment afforded by the Exit Facility. On the Effective Date, all of the Liens
and security interests to be granted in accordance with the Exit Facility
Documents (a) shall be deemed to be approved, (b) shall be legal, binding, and
enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the collateral granted
thereunder in accordance with the terms of the Exit Facility Documents,
(c) shall be deemed perfected on the Effective Date, subject only to such Liens
and security interests as may be permitted under the Exit Facility Documents,
and (d) shall not be subject to recharacterization or equitable subordination
for any purposes whatsoever and shall not constitute preferential transfers or
fraudulent conveyances under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable non
bankruptcy law. The Reorganized Debtors and the persons and entities granted
such Liens and security interests are authorized to make all filings and
recordings, and to obtain all governmental approvals and consents necessary to
establish and perfect such Liens and security interests under the provisions of
the applicable state, provincial, federal, or other law (whether domestic or
foreign) that would be applicable in the absence of the Plan and the
Confirmation Order (it being understood that perfection shall occur
automatically by virtue of the entry of the Confirmation Order and any such
filings, recordings, approvals, and consents shall not be required), and will
thereafter cooperate to make all other filings and recordings that otherwise
would be necessary under applicable law to give notice of such Liens and
security interests to third parties. On and after the Effective Date, the Liens
and security interests securing the Exit Facility shall be junior to the first
priority Liens and security interests securing the ABL Facility only with
respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, and the relative Lien, payment, and
enforcement priorities of the Exit Facility and the ABL Facility shall be
governed by the terms of an intercreditor agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, the ABL
Facility Agent, and the Exit Facility Agent (with the consent of Exit Facility
Lenders holding, in the aggregate, more than 50% of the principal amount of the
total outstanding loans under the Exit Facility as of such date).

 

4.4 Exemption from Registration Requirements

The offering, issuance, and distribution of any Securities, including New Common

issued under the Plan will be freely transferable under the Securities Act by
the recipients thereof, subject to: (a) the provisions of section 1145(b)(1) of

foreign securities laws, if any, and the rules and regulations of the United
States Securities and Exchange Commission, if any, applicable at the time of any
future transfer of such Securities or instruments; (b) the restrictions, if any,

related thereto shall be discharged; provided, however, that notwithstanding
Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date, any credit document or
agreement that governs the rights of the holder of a Claim or Interest shall
continue in effect solely for purposes of (a) allowing holders of Allowed Claims
and Interests to receive distributions under the Plan and (b) allowing and
preserving the rights of the Term Loan Agent and any Servicer, as applicable, to

of transfer executed in connection with any transaction arising out of,
contemplated by, or in any way related to the Plan, shall not be subject to any
document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles or similar tax,
mortgage tax, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform
Commercial Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, or
other similar tax or governmental assessment, and upon entry of the Confirmation
Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall
forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and accept for
filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents
without the payment of any such tax, recordation fee, or governmental
assessment. All filing or recording officers (or any other Person with authority
over any of the foregoing), wherever located and by whomever appointed, shall
comply with the requirements of section 1146(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall
forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment, and shall
accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other
documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.

 

4.12 Directors and Officers

The members of the New Board and the officers, directors, and/or managers of
each of the Reorganized Debtors will be identified in the Plan Supplement and
the members of the board of directors of any subsidiary of the Reorganized
Debtors shall be satisfactory to the Majority Consenting Lenders. The members of
EveryWare Global’s board of directors are deemed to have resigned as of the
Effective Date. On the Effective Date, the New Board will consist of five
(5) members, one of whom will be New Holdco’s chief executive officer. The
remaining four (4) directors of the New Board will be selected by the Majority
Consenting Lenders in their sole discretion and thereafter shall be selected
pursuant to the director election process set forth in the New Holdco Bylaws;
provided however, that such bylaws shall not include any staggered board
provisions. On the Effective Date, the existing officers of the Debtors shall
serve in their current capacities for the Reorganized Debtors. From and after
the Effective Date, each director, officer, or manager of the Reorganized
Debtors shall serve pursuant to the terms of their respective charters and
bylaws or other formation and constituent documents, and applicable laws of the
respective Reorganized Debtor’s jurisdiction of formation. In accordance with
section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the identities and affiliations of
the members of the New Board and any Person proposed to serve as an officer of
New Holdco shall be disclosed at or before the Confirmation Hearing.

In connection with the Transaction, the Debtors will secure tail liability
coverage for the Debtors’ directors and officers effective as of the Effective
Date that is consistent with the existing directors and officers liability
coverage.

 

19

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.13 Incentive Plans and Employee and Retiree Benefits

Except as otherwise provided herein, on and after the Effective Date, subject to
any Final Order and, without limiting any authority provided to the New Board
under the Debtors’ respective certificates of incorporation, bylaws and other
formation and constituent documents, the Reorganized Debtors shall: (a) amend,
adopt, assume and/or honor in the ordinary course of business, any contracts,
agreements, policies, programs, and plans, in accordance with their respective
terms, for, among other things, compensation, including any incentive plans,
health care benefits, disability benefits, deferred compensation benefits,
savings, severance benefits, retirement benefits, welfare benefits, workers’
compensation insurance, and accidental death and dismemberment insurance for the
directors, officers, and employees of any of the Debtors who served in such
capacity from and after the Petition Date; and (b) honor, in the ordinary course
of business, Claims of employees employed as of the Effective Date for accrued
vacation time arising prior to the Petition Date and not otherwise paid pursuant
to a Bankruptcy Court order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to section
1129(a)(13) of the Bankruptcy Code, from and after the Effective Date, all
retiree benefits (as such term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy
Code), if any, shall continue to be paid in accordance with applicable law.

 

4.14 Preservation of Rights of Action

Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly waived,
relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or by a
Final Order, in accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, the
Reorganized Debtors shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence and
pursue any and all Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the
Petition Date, including any actions specifically enumerated in the Plan
Supplement, and the Reorganized Debtors’ rights to commence, prosecute, or
settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence
of the Effective Date. No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference
in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of
Action against them as any indication that the Debtors or the Reorganized
Debtors will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action against them. The
Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all rights to prosecute
any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly
provided herein. Unless any Causes of Action against an Entity are expressly
waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan
or a Bankruptcy Court order, the Reorganized Debtors expressly reserve all
Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore no preclusion doctrine,
including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion,
claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise), or laches, shall
apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the
Confirmation or Consummation.

The Reorganized Debtors reserve and shall retain Causes of Action. In accordance
with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of Action that a
Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtors. The
applicable Reorganized Debtor, through its authorized agents or representatives,
shall retain and may exclusively enforce any and all such Causes of Action. The
Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to
determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle,
compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of
Action, or to decline to do any of the foregoing, without the consent or
approval of any third party or any further notice to or action, order, or
approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

4.15 Restructuring Transactions

On the Effective Date, the Debtors, with the consent of the Majority Consenting
Lenders, or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may enter into the following
transactions and take any actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect a
corporate restructuring of their respective businesses or a corporate
restructuring of the overall corporate structure of the Reorganized Debtors, as
and to the extent provided therein. The Restructuring Transactions may include
one or more intercompany mergers, consolidations, amalgamations, arrangements,
continuances, restructurings, conversions, dissolutions, transfers,
liquidations, or other corporate transactions as may be determined by the
Debtors, with the consent of the Majority Consenting Lenders, or the Reorganized
Debtors, as applicable, to be necessary or appropriate. The actions to effect
the Restructuring Transactions may include: (a) the execution and delivery of
appropriate agreements or other documents of merger, amalgamation,
consolidation, restructuring, conversion, disposition, transfer, arrangement,
continuance, dissolution, sale, purchase, or liquidation containing terms that
are consistent with the terms of the Plan; (b) the execution and

 

20

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption, or
delegation of any asset, property, right, liability, debt, or obligation on
terms consistent with the terms of the Plan and having other terms for which the
applicable parties agree; (c) the filing of appropriate certificates or articles
of incorporation, reincorporation, merger, consolidation, conversion,
amalgamation, arrangement, continuance, or dissolution pursuant to applicable
state law; and (d) all other actions that the applicable Entities determine to
be necessary or appropriate, including making filings or recordings that may be
required by applicable law in connection with the Restructuring Transactions.

ARTICLE V

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES

 

5.1 Assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases

Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed assumed, without the
need for any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy
Court, as of the Effective Date under section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code. The
assumption of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases hereunder may include the
assignment of certain of such contracts to Affiliates. The Confirmation Order
will constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the above-described
assumptions and assignments.

Except as otherwise provided herein or agreed to by the Debtors, the Majority
Consenting Lenders, and the applicable counterparty, each assumed Executory
Contract or Unexpired Lease shall include all modifications, amendments,
supplements, restatements, or other agreements related thereto, and all rights
related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights,
privileges, immunities, options, rights of first refusal, and any other
interests. Modifications, amendments, supplements, and restatements to
prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by
the Debtors during the Chapter 11 Cases shall not be deemed to alter the
prepetition nature of the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or the validity,
priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise in connection therewith.

 

5.2 Indemnification

On and as of the Effective Date, the Indemnification Provisions will be assumed
and irrevocable and will survive the effectiveness of the Plan, and the
Reorganized Debtors’ governance documents will provide for the indemnification,
defense, reimbursement, exculpation, and/or limitation of liability of, and
advancement of fees and expenses to the Debtors’ and the Reorganized Debtors’
current and former directors, officers, employees, or agents to the fullest
extent permitted by law and at least to the same extent as the organizational
documents of each of the respective Debtors on the Petition Date, against any
claims or Causes of Action whether direct or derivative, liquidated or
unliquidated, fixed or contingent, disputed or undisputed, matured or unmatured,
known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, asserted or unasserted, and none of
the Reorganized Debtors will amend and/or restate their respective governance
documents before or after the Effective Date to terminate or adversely affect
any of the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations to provide such indemnification
rights or such directors’, officers’, employees’, or agents’ indemnification
rights.

 

5.3 Cure of Defaults and Objections to Cure and Assumption

The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall pay Cures, if any,
on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter. Unless otherwise
agreed upon in writing by the parties to the applicable Executory Contract or
Unexpired Lease, all requests for payment of Cure that differ from the amounts
paid or proposed to be paid by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors to a
counterparty must be filed with the Solicitation Agent on or before 30 days
after the Effective Date. Any such request that is not timely filed shall be
disallowed and forever barred, estopped, and enjoined from assertion, and shall
not be enforceable against any Reorganized Debtor, without the need for any
objection by the Reorganized Debtors or any other party in interest or any
further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Any
Cure shall be deemed fully satisfied, released, and discharged upon payment by
the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors of the Cure; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall prevent the Reorganized Debtors from paying any Cure
despite the failure of the relevant counterparty to file such request for
payment of such Cure. The Reorganized Debtors also may settle any Cure without
any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. In
addition, any objection to the assumption

 

21

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

of an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease under the Plan must be filed with
the Bankruptcy Court on or before 30 days after the Effective Date. Any such
objection will be scheduled to be heard by the Bankruptcy Court at the Debtors’
or Reorganized Debtors’, as applicable, first scheduled omnibus hearing for
which such objection is timely filed. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract
or Unexpired Lease that fails to timely object to the proposed assumption of any
Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease will be deemed to have consented to such
assumption.

If there is a dispute regarding Cure, the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or
any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” within the
meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other matter pertaining to
assumption, then payment of Cure shall occur as soon as practicable after entry
of a Final Order resolving such dispute, approving such assumption (and, if
applicable, assignment), or as may be agreed upon by the Debtors or the
Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the counterparty to the Executory
Contract or Unexpired Lease.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or
otherwise shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Cures,
Claims, or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of
provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition
or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory
Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of
assumption. Any and all Proofs of Claim based upon Executory Contracts or
Unexpired Leases that have been assumed in the Chapter 11 Cases, including
pursuant to the Confirmation Order, shall be deemed disallowed and expunged as
of the Effective Date without the need for any objection thereto or any further
notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.

 

5.4 Contracts, Intercompany Contracts, and Leases Entered Into After the
Petition Date

Contracts, Intercompany Contracts, and leases entered into after the Petition
Date by any Debtor and any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by
any Debtor may be performed by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in the ordinary
course of business.

 

5.5 Reservation of Rights

Nothing contained in the Plan or the Plan Supplement shall constitute an
admission by the Debtors or any other party that any such contract or lease is
in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor
has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract
or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption, the Debtors
or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall have 45 days following entry of
a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract
or lease.

ARTICLE VI

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

 

6.1 Distributions on Account of Claims and Interests Allowed as of the Effective
Date

 

  (a) Delivery of Distributions in General

Except as otherwise provided herein, a Final Order, or as otherwise agreed to by
the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be, and the holder of
the applicable Claim or Interest, on the first Distribution Date, the
Distribution Agent shall make initial distributions under the Plan on account of
Claims and Interests Allowed on or before the Effective Date, subject to the
Reorganized Debtors’ right to object to Claims and Interests; provided, however,
that (1) Allowed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by
the Debtors in the ordinary course of business during the Chapter 11 Cases or
assumed by the Debtors prior to the Effective Date shall be paid or performed in
the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of
any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course of business, or industry
practice, and (2) Allowed Priority Tax Claims and Allowed Secured Tax Claims
shall be paid in accordance with Sections 2.3 and 3.2(a)(2), respectively. To
the extent any Allowed Priority Tax Claim or Allowed Secured Tax Claim is not
due and owing on the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in full in Cash in
accordance with the terms of any agreement between the Debtors

 

22

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

and the holder of such Claim or as may be due and payable under applicable
non-bankruptcy law or in the ordinary course of business. A Distribution Date
shall occur no less frequently than once in every 30 day period after the
Effective Date, as necessary, in the Reorganized Debtors’ sole discretion.

 

6.2 Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims and Interests

Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan and except as otherwise
agreed by the relevant parties: (a) no partial payments and no partial
distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim or Interest until
all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim or Interest have been
resolved by settlement or Final Order; and (b) any Entity that holds both an
Allowed Claim or Interest and a Disputed Claim or Interest shall not receive any
distribution on the Allowed Claim or Interest unless and until all objections to
the Disputed Claim or Interest have been resolved by settlement or Final Order
or the Claims or Interests have been Allowed or expunged. Any dividends or other
distributions arising from property distributed to holders of Allowed Claims or
Interests, as applicable, in a Class and paid to such holders under the Plan
shall also be paid, in the applicable amounts, to any holder of a Disputed Claim
or Interest, as applicable, in such Class that becomes an Allowed Claim or
Interest after the date or dates that such dividends or other distributions were
earlier paid to holders of Allowed Claims or Interests in such Class.

 

6.3 Delivery of Distributions

 

  (a) Record Date for Distributions

On the Effective Date, the Claims Register shall be closed and the Distribution
Agent shall be authorized and entitled to recognize only those record holders,
if any, listed on the Claims Register as of the close of business on the
Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Claim or Interest, other
than one based on a publicly traded Certificate, is transferred and the Debtors
have been notified in writing of such transfer less than 10 days before the
Effective Date, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to the
transferee (rather than the transferor) only to the extent practical and in any
event only if the relevant transfer form contains an unconditional and explicit
certification and waiver of any objection to the transfer by the transferor.

 

  (b) Distribution Process

The Distribution Agent shall make all distributions required under the Plan,
except that distributions to holders of Allowed Claims or Interests governed by
a separate agreement and administered by a Servicer shall be deposited with the
appropriate Servicer, at which time such distributions shall be deemed complete,
and the Servicer shall deliver such distributions in accordance with the Plan
and the terms of the governing agreement. Except as otherwise provided herein,
and notwithstanding any authority to the contrary, distributions to holders of
Allowed Claims and Interests, including Claims and Interests that become Allowed
after the Effective Date, shall be made to holders of record as of the Effective
Date by the Distribution Agent or a Servicer, as appropriate: (1) to the address
of such holder as set forth in the books and records of the applicable Debtor
(or if the Debtors have been notified in writing, on or before the date that is
10 days before the Effective Date, of a change of address, to the changed
address); (2) in accordance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, as modified
and made applicable by Bankruptcy Rule 7004, if no address exists in the Debtors
books and records, no Proof of Claim has been filed and the Distribution Agent
has not received a written notice of a change of address on or before the date
that is 10 days before the Effective Date; or (3) on any counsel that has
appeared in the Chapter 11 Cases on the holder’s behalf. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan, including this Section 6.3, distributions
under the Plan to holders of Term Loan Facility Claims shall be made to, or to
Entities at the direction of, the Term Loan Agent in accordance with the terms
of the Plan and the Term Loan Agreement. The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors,
and the Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall not incur any liability
whatsoever on account of any distributions under the Plan.

 

  (c) Accrual of Dividends and Other Rights

For purposes of determining the accrual of distributions or other rights after
the Effective Date, the New Holdco Interests shall be deemed distributed as of
the Effective Date regardless of the date on which it is actually

 

23

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

issued, dated, authenticated, or distributed; provided, however, the Reorganized
Debtors shall not pay any such distributions or distribute such other rights, if
any, until after distributions of the New Holdco Interests actually take place.

 

  (d) Compliance Matters

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors
and the Distribution Agent shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting
requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions
pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such withholding and reporting
requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the
Reorganized Debtors and the Distribution Agent shall be authorized to take all
actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting
requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made
under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes,
withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate
such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are
reasonable and appropriate. The Reorganized Debtors reserve the right to
allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable
wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and other spousal awards, liens, and
encumbrances.

 

  (e) Foreign Currency Exchange Rate

Except as otherwise provided in a Bankruptcy Court order, as of the Effective
Date, any Claim asserted in currency other than U.S. dollars shall be
automatically deemed converted to the equivalent U.S. dollar value using the
exchange rate for the applicable currency as published in The Wall Street
Journal, National Edition, on the Effective Date.

 

  (f) Fractional, Undeliverable, and Unclaimed Distributions

 

  (1) Fractional Distributions. Whenever any distribution of fractional shares
of New Common Stock would otherwise be required pursuant to the Plan, the actual
distribution shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest share (up
or down), with half shares or less being rounded down. Whenever any payment of
Cash of a fraction of a dollar pursuant to the Plan would otherwise be required,
the actual payment shall reflect a rounding of such fraction to the nearest
whole dollar (up or down), with half dollars or less being rounded down.

 

  (2) Undeliverable Distributions. If any distribution to a holder of an Allowed
Claim or Interest is returned to the Distribution Agent as undeliverable, no
further distributions shall be made to such holder unless and until the
Distribution Agent is notified in writing of such holder’s then-current address
or other necessary information for delivery, at which time all currently due
missed distributions shall be made to such holder on the next Distribution Date.
Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized
Debtors until such time as a distribution becomes deliverable, or such
distribution reverts to the Reorganized Debtors or is cancelled pursuant to
Section 6.3(f)(3), and shall not be supplemented with any interest, dividends,
or other accruals of any kind.

 

  (3) Reversion. Any distribution under the Plan that is an Unclaimed
Distribution for a period of six months after distribution shall be deemed
unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code and such
Unclaimed Distribution shall revest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor and, to
the extent such Unclaimed Distribution is New Common Stock, shall be deemed
cancelled. Upon such revesting, the Claim or Interest of any holder or its
successors with respect to such property shall be cancelled, discharged, and
forever barred notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat,
abandoned, or unclaimed property laws, or any provisions in any document
governing the distribution that is an Unclaimed Distribution, to the contrary.

 

24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (g) Surrender of Cancelled Instruments or Securities

On the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter, each holder of a
Certificate shall surrender such Certificate to the Distribution Agent or a
Servicer (to the extent the relevant Claim or Interest is governed by an
agreement and administered by a Servicer). Such Certificate shall be cancelled
solely with respect to the Debtors, and such cancellation shall not alter the
obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-à-vis one another with
respect to such Certificate. No distribution of property pursuant to the Plan
shall be made to or on behalf of any such holder unless and until such
Certificate is received by the Distribution Agent, unless the Distribution Agent
determines otherwise in its sole discretion or as otherwise set forth herein, or
the Servicer or the unavailability of such Certificate is reasonably established
to the satisfaction of the Distribution Agent or the Servicer pursuant to the
provisions of Section 6.3(h). Any holder who fails to surrender or cause to be
surrendered such Certificate or fails to execute and deliver an affidavit of
loss and indemnity acceptable to the Distribution Agent or the Servicer prior to
the first anniversary of the Effective Date shall have its Claim or Interest
discharged with no further action, be forever barred from asserting any such
Claim or Interest against the relevant Reorganized Debtor or its property, be
deemed to have forfeited all rights, and Claims and Interests with respect to
such Certificate, and not participate in any distribution under the Plan;
furthermore, all property with respect to such forfeited distributions,
including any dividends or interest attributable thereto, shall revert to the
Reorganized Debtors, notwithstanding any federal or state escheat, abandoned, or
unclaimed property law to the contrary. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph,
this Section 6.3(g) shall not apply to any Claims and Interests reinstated
pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

 

  (h) Lost, Stolen, Mutilated, or Destroyed Securities

Any holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest evidenced by a Certificate that has
been lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed shall, in lieu of surrendering such
Certificate, deliver to the Distribution Agent or Servicer, if applicable, an
affidavit of loss acceptable to the Distribution Agent or Servicer setting forth
the unavailability of the Certificate and such additional indemnity as may be
required reasonably by the Distribution Agent or Servicer to hold the
Distribution Agent or Servicer harmless from any damages, liabilities, or costs
incurred in treating such holder as a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest.
Upon compliance with this procedure by a holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest
evidenced by such a lost, stolen, mutilated, or destroyed Certificate, such
holder shall, for all purposes pursuant to the Plan, be deemed to have
surrendered such Certificate.

 

6.4 Claims Paid or Payable by Third Parties

 

  (a) Claims Paid by Third Parties

A Claim shall be reduced in full, and such Claim shall be disallowed without an
objection to such Claim having to be filed and without any further notice to or
action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, to the extent that the
holder of such Claim receives payment in full on account of such Claim from a
party that is not a Debtor or Reorganized Debtor. To the extent a holder of a
Claim receives a distribution on account of such Claim and receives payment from
a party that is not a Debtor or a Reorganized Debtor on account of such Claim,
such holder shall repay, return or deliver any distribution held by or
transferred to the holder to the applicable Reorganized Debtor to the extent the
holder’s total recovery on account of such Claim from the third party and under
the Plan exceeds the amount of such Claim as of the date of any such
distribution under the Plan.

 

  (b) Claims Payable by Insurance Carriers

No distributions under the Plan shall be made on account of an Allowed Claim
that is payable pursuant to one of the Debtors’ insurance policies until the
holder of such Allowed Claim has exhausted all remedies with respect to such
insurance policy. To the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ insurers agrees
to satisfy in full a Claim (if and to the extent adjudicated by a court of
competent jurisdiction), then immediately upon such insurers’ agreement, such
Claim may be expunged to the extent of any agreed upon satisfaction on the
Claims Register by the Solicitation Agent without a Claims objection having to
be filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the
Bankruptcy Court.

 

25

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (c) Applicability of Insurance Policies

Except as otherwise provided herein, distributions to holders of Allowed Claims
shall be in accordance with the provisions of an applicable insurance policy.
Nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any
Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other
Entity, including insurers under any policies of insurance, nor shall anything
contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such insurers of any
defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such insurers.

 

6.5 Setoffs

Except with respect to the Term Loan Facility Claims, ABL Facility Claims, DIP
Facility Claims, or as otherwise expressly provided for herein, each Reorganized
Debtor, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy
Code), applicable non-bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the holder of a
Claim, may set off against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made
pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim (before any distribution
is made on account of such Allowed Claim), any Claims, rights, and Causes of
Action of any nature that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may
hold against the holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such Claims,
rights, or Causes of Action against such holder have not been otherwise
compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to
the Plan or otherwise); provided, however, that neither the failure to effect
such a setoff nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall
constitute a waiver or release by such Reorganized Debtor of any such Claims,
rights, and Causes of Action that such Reorganized Debtor may possess against
such holder. In no event shall any holder of Claims be entitled to set off any
Claim against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtor or Reorganized
Debtor, as applicable, unless such holder has filed a motion with the Bankruptcy
Court requesting the authority to perform such setoff on or before the
Confirmation Date, and notwithstanding any indication in any Proof of Claim or
otherwise that such holder asserts, has, or intends to preserve any right of
setoff pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.

 

6.6 Allocation Between Principal and Accrued Interest

Except as otherwise provided herein, the aggregate consideration paid to holders
with respect to their Allowed Claims shall be treated pursuant to the Plan as
allocated first to the principal amount of such Allowed Claims (to the extent
thereof) and, thereafter, to the interest, if any, on such Allowed Claim accrued
through the Effective Date.

ARTICLE VII

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

 

7.1 Disputed Claims Process

Except as otherwise provided herein, if a party files a Proof of Claim and the
Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, do not determine, and without
the need for notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court,
that the Claim subject to such Proof of Claim is Allowed, such Claim shall be
Disputed unless Allowed or disallowed by a Final Order or as otherwise set forth
in this ARTICLE VII. Except as otherwise provided herein, all Proofs of Claim
filed after the Effective Date shall be disallowed and forever barred, estopped,
and enjoined from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against any
Reorganized Debtor, without the need for any objection by the Reorganized
Debtors or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy
Court.

 

7.2 Prosecution of Objections to Claims and Interests

Except insofar as a Claim or Interest is Allowed under the Plan, the Debtors,
the Reorganized Debtors, or any other party in interest shall be entitled to
object to the Claim or Interest. Any objections to Claims and Interests shall be
served and filed on or before the 120th day after the Effective Date or by such
later date as ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. All Claims and Interests not
objected to by the end of such 120-day period shall be deemed Allowed unless
such period is extended upon approval of the Bankruptcy Court. For the avoidance
of doubt, except

 

26

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

as otherwise provided herein, from and after the Effective Date, each
Reorganized Debtor shall have and retain any and all rights and defenses such
Debtor had immediately prior to the Effective Date with respect to any Disputed
Claim or Interest, including the Causes of Action retained pursuant to
Section 4.14.

 

7.3 No Interest

Unless otherwise specifically provided for herein or by order of the Bankruptcy
Court, postpetition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims, and no
holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on or after the
Petition Date on any Claim or right. Additionally, and without limiting the
foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid on any Disputed Claim with
respect to the period from the Effective Date to the date a final distribution
is made on account of such Disputed Claim, if and when such Disputed Claim
becomes an Allowed Claim.

EVERYWARE GLOBAL, INC.

debtor-in-possession financing (“DIP Facility”) to be used to fund working
capital during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases (“Chapter 11 Cases”).

The terms and conditions for the extension of credit described herein are
dependent upon, among other things, authorization and approval by the Bankruptcy
Court (as defined below) and compliance with the terms and conditions contained
in the RSA (as defined below). The terms and conditions with respect to such
commitments are mutually dependent on each other and the DIP Lenders shall not
be obligated to extend credit unless agreement with the Obligors (as defined
below) and approval by the Bankruptcy Court is obtained with respect to such
terms and conditions as a whole.

 

Parties Debtors: EveryWare Global, Inc. (the “Company”), Anchor Hocking LLC

as debtors-in-possession in the case pending under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code (collectively, the “Debtors”), in jointly administered Chapter 11 Cases in
the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy
Court”). The date the Chapter 11 Case is commenced, which is expected to occur
on or about April 7, 2015 is referred to herein as the “Petition Date.”
Guarantors: All obligations under the DIP Facilities (defined below) and the
other DIP Loan Documents (defined below) will be unconditionally guaranteed (the
“Guarantee”) jointly and severally by (a) each Debtor (with respect to the
obligations of the other Debtors), (b) Universal TableTop, Inc. (“Holdings”) and
(c) each wholly-owned domestic subsidiary of the Borrowers that is a “Guarantor”
under and as defined in the Prepetition Term Loan Agreement (the “Guarantors”).
The Guarantors shall be debtors-in-possession under Chapter 11 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors and the Guarantors are collectively herein
referred to as the “Obligors”. DIP Lenders: Certain of the Prepetition Term
