“Guarantors” and, together with the Issuer, the “Note Parties”), and each of the
undersigned beneficial owners and/or investment advisors or managers of
discretionary funds, accounts, or other entities for the holders or beneficial
owners of the 2026 Notes (as defined below) (collectively, the “Holders”).  

WHEREAS, the Issuer is the issuer under that certain Indenture, dated as of

the purposes of entering into restructuring discussions with the Note Parties;

WHEREAS, the Holders of the 2023 Notes previously agreed to, subject to the
terms and conditions set forth in a forbearance agreement with the Note Parties,

Agreement,” as it may be amended from time to time, the “Credit Facilities
Forbearance Agreement”);  

WHEREAS, the Note Parties have requested that the Holders of the 2026 Notes, and
the Holders of the 2026 Notes have agreed to, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, temporarily forbear from delivering a notice of
acceleration on the 2026 Notes with respect to the 2026 Notes Interest Default;
and

WHEREAS, terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
given to them in the Indenture.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and covenants contained herein
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, agree as follows:

Section 1.Forbearance.

(a)Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section
3 below and the continued satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4
below, respectively, as of the date hereof, each Holder hereby agrees that
during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the Forbearance
Termination Date (the “Forbearance Period”), it will not enforce, or otherwise
take any action to direct enforcement of, any of the rights and remedies
available to the Holders or the Trustee under the Indenture or the 2026 Notes or
otherwise, including, without limitation, any action to accelerate, or join in
any request for acceleration of, the 2026 Notes (“Remedial Action”) under the
Indenture or the 2026 Notes, solely with respect to the 2026 Notes Interest
Default (such forbearance, the “Forbearance”).  As used herein, “Forbearance
Termination Date” means the earlier of (i) 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on
July 22, 2020; (ii) the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Indenture
other than the 2026 Notes Interest Default and the 2023 Notes Interest Default;
(iii) the failure of any Note Party to comply with any term, condition, or
covenant set forth in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt,
Section 4 hereof); (iv) the failure of any representation or warranty made by
any Note Party under this Agreement to be true and complete in all material
respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to the
extent that any representation and warranty already is qualified or modified by
materiality in the text thereof) as of the date when made or any other breach in
any material respect of any such representation or warranty; (v) the entry by
the Issuer into any support agreement or definitive documentation with respect
to, or announcement by the Issuer of its intent to pursue, any other
restructuring, recapitalization, refinancing, repurchase or other material
transaction in respect of any material indebtedness of the Issuer or its
subsidiaries, whether through a court-supervised insolvency proceeding or
otherwise, without the express written consent of each Holder; (vi) the granting
of any additional lien on any property or assets of the Limited Guarantor, the
Issuer or any of their respective subsidiaries to secure all or any portion of
the Credit Agreement dated as of January 30, 2019 by and among the Issuer, the
Limited Guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors, the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent (the “Credit Facilities”); (vii) the occurrence of the Forbearance
Termination Date (as defined in the 2023 Notes Forbearance Agreement) or (viii)
the occurrence of the Forbearance Termination Date (as defined in the Credit
Facilities Forbearance Agreement).

(b)Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section
3 below, as of the date hereof, each Holder hereby agrees that, during the
Forbearance Period, it will not sell, pledge,

2

 

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

 

hypothecate or otherwise transfer any 2026 Notes, except to (i) a purchaser or
other entity who agrees in writing with the transferor (with a copy to and for
the benefit of the Note Parties) prior to such transfer to be bound by all of
the terms of this Agreement as if a party hereto with respect to the relevant
2026 Notes being transferred to such purchaser; or (ii) a party who is already a
signatory hereto, in each case without any further consideration of the Note
Parties in respect thereof.

(c)This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude any Holder from
acquiring additional 2026 Notes to the extent permitted by applicable
law.  However, such Holder shall, automatically and without further action,
remain subject to this Agreement with respect to any 2026 Notes so
acquired.  The foregoing forbearances shall not be construed to impair the
ability of the Holders or the Trustee to exercise any rights or remedies under
the Indenture or take any Remedial Action (x) at any time after the Forbearance
Period or (y) during the Forbearance Period, for defaults or Events of Default
other than the 2026 Notes Interest Default, and, except as provided herein,
nothing shall restrict, impair or otherwise affect the exercise of the Holders’
rights under this Agreement, the Indenture or the 2026 Notes.  

(d)With respect to the Forbearance, each Holder’s agreements, as provided
herein, shall immediately and automatically terminate without requirement for
any notice, demand or presentment of any kind on the Forbearance Termination
Date, the Holders shall be immediately and automatically released from any and
all obligations and agreements under this Agreement, and the Note Parties at
that time shall be obligated to comply with and perform all terms, conditions
and provisions of the Indenture and the 2026 Notes without giving effect to the
Forbearance, and the Trustee and the Holders may at any time thereafter proceed
to exercise any and all of their rights and remedies, including, without
limitation, their rights and remedies in connection with the 2026 Notes Interest
Default and any other defaults or Events of Default under the Indenture or
rights under this Agreement, to the extent continuing. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Issuer makes the payment that is the
subject of the 2026 Notes Interest Default prior to the Forbearance Termination
Date, the Holders acknowledge that the 2026 Interest Default shall no longer be
continuing (it being understood that such acknowledgement is being provided
solely by the Holders and not on behalf of the Trustee or any other holders of
the 2026 Notes).

(e) The Holders hereby request that the Trustee not take, and direct (solely to
the extent permitted under the Indenture) the Trustee not to take, any Remedial
Action with respect to the 2026 Notes Interest Default during the Forbearance
Period. In the event that the Trustee takes any action to declare the 2026 Notes
immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 502 of the Indenture during the
Forbearance Period solely due to the 2026 Notes Interest Default, the Holders
agree (solely to the extent permitted under the Indenture) to rescind and cancel
such acceleration.

(f)Each of the Note Parties acknowledges and agrees that the running of any
statutes of limitation or doctrine of laches applicable to any claims or causes
of action that the Trustee or any Holder may be entitled to assert in order to
enforce its rights and remedies against any of the Note Parties (or any of their
respective assets) is, to the fullest extent permitted by law, tolled and
suspended during the Forbearance Period.

(g)Each of the Note Parties acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement relates
solely to the Forbearance by the Holders in their capacity as Holders of the
2026 Notes and that execution of this Agreement by any Holder that also is a
beneficial owner and/or investment advisor or manager of
discretionary funds, accounts, or other entities for any holder or beneficial
owner of the 2023 Notes shall not affect the rights and remedies of such Holders
under the Indenture or the 2023 Notes with respect to the 2023 Notes Interest
Default or otherwise.

(h)Each of the parties hereby agrees and acknowledges that in the event that the
Issuer enters into, executes or amends any forbearance agreement or other
consent agreement with any holder of

3

 

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

 

Notes (“Third-Party Holder”) with respect to the 2026 Notes Interest Default
that includes the payment of forbearance fees or other consideration by the
Issuer to the Third-Party Holder, then the terms of this Agreement (such
agreement, the “Third-Party Agreement” and such payment terms thereunder, the
“Favorable Terms”), then (a) the Issuer shall give each Holder a written notice
(the “MFN Notice”) and a copy of the Third-Party Agreement and (b) unless
otherwise agreed in writing (including by email) by Holder within one business
day following the receipt of the MFN Notice, this Agreement shall be deemed
automatically modified to incorporate any such Favorable Terms together with any
additional obligations, consents, waivers or similar agreements of such
Third-Party Holder contained in such Third-Party Agreement.

Section 2.Representations and Warranties.

warrants to the Holders that:

(a)Each Note Party has duly executed and delivered this Agreement, and this
Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of each Note Party
enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that
the enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws generally affecting creditors’
rights and by equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought
in equity or at law);

(b)Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Note Party of this
Agreement, nor compliance by it with the terms and provisions thereof, (i) will
contravene any provision of applicable law; (ii) will conflict with or result in
any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the
obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of
any Note Party or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any
indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement or loan agreement, or any
other material agreement, contract or instrument, in each case to which any Note
Party or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any its property
or assets is bound or to which it may be subject; or (iii) will violate any
provision of the certificate or articles of incorporation, certificate of
formation, limited liability company agreement or by-laws (or equivalent
constitutional, organizational and/or formation documents), as applicable, of
any Note Party;

(c)Each of the recitals to this Agreement with respect to the Note Parties is
true and correct;

(d)As of the date hereof, the current principal amount outstanding of the 2026
Notes is $625 million;

(e)As of the date hereof, to the knowledge of the Note Parties, no default or

Section 6.Confidentiality.  Each of the Note Parties shall not disclose to any
person or entity the Holders’ holdings information (collectively, the “Holder

provided that the relevant Note Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to

5

 

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

 

order or other appropriate remedy and each Note Party will fully cooperate with
such Holder’s efforts to obtain same.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Section 6, the Note Parties may: (i) disclose the aggregate principal

Section 7.Effect on the Indenture.  

(a)Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement shall not by implication

rights and remedies of the Holders under the Indenture or the 2026 Notes, and
shall not, except as expressly set forth herein, alter, modify, amend or in any
way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations, covenants or agreements
contained in the Indenture, the 2026 Notes or any other provision of the
Indenture or the 2026 Notes, all of which are ratified and affirmed in all
respects and shall continue in full force and effect.

(b)No Holder has waived (regardless of any delay in exercising such rights and
remedies) any default or Event of Default that may be continuing on the date
hereof or any default or Event of Default that may occur after the date hereof
(whether the same or similar to the 2026 Notes Interest Default or otherwise),
and no Holder has agreed to forbear with respect to any of its rights or
remedies concerning any default or Event of Default (other than solely during
the Forbearance Period, the 2026 Notes Interest Default solely to the extent
expressly set forth herein) that may have occurred or be continuing as of the
date hereof, or that may occur after the date hereof. Except as expressly set
forth herein, each Holder reserves all of its rights, powers, and remedies under
the Indenture, the Notes and applicable law. Except as expressly set forth
herein, the execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Agreement shall not
directly or indirectly constitute a course of dealing or other basis for
altering the Indenture, the Notes, or any other contract, agreement or
instrument. The Holders’ agreement to forbear from exercising certain of their
rights and remedies with respect to the 2026 Notes Interest Default during the
Forbearance Period does not in any manner whatsoever limit any Holder’s right to
insist upon strict compliance with the Indenture and the 2026 Notes.

execution and delivery of this Agreement, each Note Party, on behalf of itself

hereby forever agrees and covenants not to sue or prosecute against any Releasee

fullest extent permitted by law, each Releasee from any and all claims

liens, promises, warranties, damages and consequential damages, demands,
agreements, bonds, bills, specialties, covenants, controversies, variances,
trespasses, judgments, executions, costs, expenses or claims whatsoever, that
such Releasor now has or hereafter may have, of whatsoever nature and kind,
whether known or unknown, whether now existing or hereafter arising, whether

to the Holders, where a Holder is an investment manager or advisor for the
beneficial holders of the 2026 Notes, such beneficial holders) in any capacity
and their respective affiliates, subsidiaries, equityholders and “controlling
persons” (within the meaning of the federal securities laws), and their
respective successors and assigns and each and all of the officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys, advisors and other representatives of each of the

misconduct of any of the Releasees. In entering into this Agreement, each Note
Party consulted with, and has been represented by, legal counsel and expressly
disclaims any reliance on any representations, acts or omissions by any of the
Releasees and hereby agrees and acknowledges that the validity and effectiveness
of the releases set forth above do not depend in any way on any such

obligations thereunder.

Indenture or any other documents contemplated to be executed in connection

verbal or written) or actions of any party, including, without limitation, any
course of conduct, course of dealings, statements or actions of any Holder
relating to the administration of the 2026 Notes or enforcement of the Indenture
arising out of tort, strict liability, contract or any other law, and agree that
no party will seek to consolidate any such action with any other action in which
a jury trial cannot be or has not been waived.

Section 12.Headings.  The headings of this Agreement are for purposes of
reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

Section 13.Acknowledgments.  Each Note Party hereby expressly acknowledges the
terms of this Agreement and reaffirms, as of the date hereof after giving effect
to this Agreement, the covenants and agreements contained in the Indenture and
the 2026 Notes, including, in each case, such covenants and agreements as in
effect immediately after giving effect to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby.

Section 14.Relationship of Parties; No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in
this Agreement shall be construed to alter the existing debtor-creditor
relationship between the Note Parties and the Holders.  This Agreement is not
intended, nor shall it be construed, to create a partnership or joint venture

intended to be a beneficiary hereof and no person other than a party hereto

Section 15.Entire Agreement; Modification of Agreement; Verbal Agreements Not
Binding.  This Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties

Default or to any default or Event of Default or any other term or provision of
the Indenture.

party hereto.  Upon any such determination of invalidity, the parties hereto
shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the
original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in
order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally
contemplated to the greatest extent possible.
