and Applicable Law, take such actions as necessary to cause the Board Designees to be nominated and submitted to the stockholders of the Company for election to the Board, or appointed to the Board by the remaining members of the Board, as provided
in Section 2.1(c)(v). The parties hereto agree that, when considering any Board Designee for nomination or approval for nomination to the Board or any nominating committee thereof, the party or parties entitled to such
nomination shall take into account the same criteria (applying such criteria consistently with the Board’s and any such nominating committee’s prior application of such criteria) and use substantially the same procedures as the Board and
any such nominating committee historically have considered and used in considering and vetting prior candidates for the Board, including the then-current members of the Board, including taking into account the independence and other corporate
governance standards (including applicable to the members of any committee of the Board) of any National Securities Exchange on which the Company is then listed. Each Holder (whether in his, her or its capacity as a Holder, Director, member of a
committee of the Board of Directors, Officer or otherwise) hereby agrees to take such actions as may be necessary or desirable within his, her or its control (including, in the case of a Holder, by voting all capital stock of the Company, including

resignation shall be effective upon receipt thereof unless it is specified to be effective at some other time or upon the occurrence of some other event. The Board’s acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it effective.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, but subject to (g), to the extent the rights of a Designating Holder to designate a Director are reduced or terminated, as applicable, pursuant to (f), then,
(A) if such Designating Holder no longer has the right to designate any Directors for election to the Board pursuant to Section 2.1, then such Designating Holder shall cause such Director(s) designated for election to
the Board by such Designating Holder to resign from the Board or (B) if such Designating Holder had the right to designate two (2) Directors for election to the Board pursuant to (a), but such right is reduced to the right to
designate one (1) Director for election to the Board pursuant to (f), then such Designating Holder shall cause one (1) Director designated for election to the Board by such Designating Holder to resign from the Board. 

  
 15 












 (v) Vacancies. In the event that a vacancy is created on the Board at any time due to
the death, disability, retirement, resignation or removal of a Director, then:

Company and each Holder (whether in his, her or its capacity as a stockholder, Director, member of a Board Committee, Officer or otherwise) hereby agrees to take such actions as may be necessary or desirable within his, her or its control
(including, in the case of a Holder, by voting all Equity Securities of the Company, including all Preferred Stock and Common Stock, owned by such Holder or over which such Holder has voting control) to ensure the election or appointment of such
designee to fill such vacancy on the Board; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in lieu of calling a Special Holder Meeting, the Board shall be entitled to act by majority written consent to cause the election of
such designee in a manner consistent with this Section 2.1(c)(v)(A); provided, however, in the event that the applicable Designating Holder shall fail to designate in writing a replacement Board Designee to
fill the vacant Director position on the Board, and such failure shall continue for more than sixty (60) days after notice from the Company to such Designating Holder with respect to such failure, then the vacant position shall be filled by an
individual designated by the remaining Directors then in office; provided, that such individual shall be removed from such position if such Designating Holder so directs and simultaneously designates a new Board Designee to serve in such
Board position. 
 (B) with respect to any Independent Director vacancy, such vacancy shall be filled in accordance with
Section 2.1(a)(iv); and 
 (C) if the person serving as Chief Executive Officer is removed or resigns or is
otherwise replaced, then such person shall automatically, and without any action by the Board or stockholders of the Company, cease to be a Director, and the Director position on the Board reserved for the Chief Executive Officer shall remain vacant

Company or any of its Subsidiaries or an Identified Person or as provided in the following sentence, no Director shall receive an annual retainer, meeting fee or other consideration for serving on the Board (or committee thereof) or any board of
directors of any Subsidiary of the Company; provided, however, that any Board Designee who is not otherwise compensated, in any manner, due to Applicable Law by the Holder who designated such Board Designee, such Board Designee shall
receive the same annual retainer, meeting fee or other consideration that an Independent Director is receiving (or would receive) for serving on the Board (or committee or supervisory role thereof) or any board of directors of any Subsidiary of the
Company. The Company will pay and reimburse each Director for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by such Director in connection with his or her participation
in (or attendance at) meetings of the Board (and committees thereof) and the boards of directors (and committees thereof) of the Subsidiaries of the Company. 

(i) Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance. The Company will purchase and will use its reasonable best
efforts to maintain director and officer liability insurance in such amounts and such limits as reasonably determined by the Board on behalf of any person who is or was a member of the Board against any liability asserted against him or incurred by

(j) Nominating Committee Observer. 

(i) Each Holder with a Holder Ownership Percentage of at least five percent (5%) as of the Effective Date shall have the right to designate one

is at least five percent (5%) and the Nominating Committee shall consider any input by any Nominating Committee Observer in good faith before selecting any proposed nominees for election to the Board pursuant to
Section 2.1(a)(iv). Subject to the provisions of this Section 2.1(j), the Nominating Committee Observers shall have the right to attend all meetings of the Nominating Committee (including

of the Nominating Committee Observers to receive such notices or materials or to attend such meetings shall be conditional upon the Nominating Committee Observers entering into a customary confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Company. 
 (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude
any Nominating Committee Observer from any meeting or portion thereof if access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, serve to waive the work
product doctrine or any other similarly protective privilege or doctrine, or result in disclosure of trade secrets or a conflict of interest, in each case upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Nominating Committee not
affiliated with any such Nominating Committee Observer, acting in good faith. 

  
 20 












 (iii) Neither the presence of a Nominating Committee Observer at all or at any part of a
meeting of the Nominating Committee, nor the disclosure to a Nominating Committee Observer of any confidential information, specifically including any material non-public information, shall provide a
Nominating Committee Observer or its Designating Holder with a right to require the Company to disclose publicly any information acquired by such Nominating Committee Observer in the capacity as such. 

(iv) For the avoidance of doubt, no Nominating Committee Observer shall be permitted to vote at any meeting of the Nominating Committee or be
counted for purposes of determining whether there is a sufficient quorum for the Nominating Committee to conduct its business.

Conflicts. Neither the Company nor the Board shall take any action to cause the Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation to conflict in any respect with the provisions of this Article II, and if at any time the Bylaws or Certificate of
Incorporation are determined to conflict in any manner with this Article II or the rights of the Designating Holders hereunder, then, subject to requirements under the DGCL, the Company and Board shall take such actions within their control
to cause the Bylaws and/or the Certificate of Incorporation, as applicable, not to conflict in any respect with the provisions of this Article II, including amending the Bylaws or submitting an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to
the stockholders of the Company for approval. 
 (l) Initial Public Offering. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 2.1, the number of Directors that comprises the Board shall be increased in connection with the consummation by the Company (including any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof) of an initial public offering, or at
any time after such initial public offering, to the extent necessary (and only to such extent) to comply with all director “independence” requirements that may be imposed by the Commission and/or any National Securities Exchange.

consent threshold, SDIC and/or the SDIC Directors shall be deemed present, non-voting and the absence of a vote or consent from SDIC and/or the SDIC Directors with respect to any such matter shall not prevent

ARTICLE IV 
 TRANSFERS

 Section 4.1 Rights and Obligations of Transferees. Prior to the consummation of a Transfer by any Holder to any Person
(including a Permitted Transferee), other than in connection with a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.7, as a condition thereto, the applicable Transferee, unless already a party to this Agreement, shall agree in writing, by executing and
delivering the form of Assignment and Assumption Agreement, to become a party to this Agreement and further assume all of the obligations in this Agreement applicable to the Transferring Holder with respect to the Equity Securities being
Transferred. 
 Section 4.2 Transferability. Each Holder shall not be restricted by this Agreement from Transferring any of its
shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock; provided, that such Transfer complies with this Article IV and the other provisions of this Agreement, the Company’s other Organizational Documents and Applicable Law (including the DOT’s
and FAA’s U.S. citizenship requirements). 
 Section 4.3 Restrictions on Transfer. No Transfer of any share(s) of Common
Stock, Preferred Stock or Common Stock Equivalents shall be permitted if: 
 (i) such Transfer would cause the record number of Holders of
any class of Equity Securities of the Company to exceed the applicable threshold for registration under the Exchange Act, or if the Board otherwise determines that such Transfer could result in the Company’s being required to file reports under
the Exchange Act, if it is not otherwise subject to such requirements; 

  
 26 












 (ii) such Transfer would violate the Securities Act or applicable federal and state
securities or blue sky laws; 
 (iii) such Transfer is made to a Person who lacks the legal right, power or capacity to own shares of Common
Stock, Preferred Stock or Common Stock Equivalents of the Company; 
 (iv) such Transfer is made without the prior consent of at least two-thirds (66-2/3%) of the Board and is made to a Company Competitor or any Person that the Board determines in good faith is a Company Competitor or an Affiliate of a
Company Competitor; 
 (v) such Transfer would cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be required to register as an investment
company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended; 
 (vi) such Transfer would cause the assets of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries to be deemed “Plan Assets” as defined under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or its accompanying regulations or result in any “prohibited transaction” thereunder involving the Company
or any of its Subsidiary; 
 (vii) such Transfer is made without the Board’s prior written consent and would cause a loss of any accrued
net operating loss tax benefits or other favorable tax attributes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries as determined in good faith by the Board; or 

(viii) such Transfer would cause the Company not to be a U.S. Citizen. 

To the extent shares of the Common Stock or Preferred Stock are represented by certificates (a “Share Certificate”), all such
Share Certificates held by any Holder shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: 
 “THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT AMONG BRISTOW GROUP INC. AND THE HOLDERS PARTY THERETO, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF BRISTOW GROUP INC. THE STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT CONTAINS, AMONG OTHER THINGS, CERTAIN
PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE TRANSFER OF THE SHARES SUBJECT TO THE AGREEMENT, INCLUDING RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER TO AND OWNERSHIP BY PERSONS WHO ARE NOT U.S. CITIZENS AS DEFINED IN 49 U.S.C. SECTION 40102(A)(15), AS IN EFFECT ON THE DATE IN QUESTION,
OR ANY SUCCESSOR STATUTE OR REGULATION, AS INTERPRETED BY THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IN APPLICABLE PRECEDENT. NO TRANSFER, SALE, ASSIGNMENT, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY,
DIRECTLY OR 

  
 27 












 
INDIRECTLY, BE MADE EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT. THE HOLDER OF THIS CERTIFICATE, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS CERTIFICATE, AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ALL OF THE
PROVISIONS OF SUCH STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT. 
 THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF
1933, AS AMENDED, AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THAT ACT OR AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE.” 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, only the condition set forth in Section 4.3(ii) (and not any of
the other conditions listed above) shall apply to the following types of Transfers: (i) any Transfer by a Tag-Along Rightholder pursuant to Section 4.6 or (iii) any Transfer
of shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock in a Drag Transaction. 
 Section 4.4 Transfers Not in Compliance. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, any Transfer or attempted Transfer by any Holder of any share(s) of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or Common Stock Equivalents of the Company in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall
be null and void ab initio and of no force or effect whatsoever, no such Transfer shall be recorded on the Company’s books and the purported Transferee in any such Transfer shall not be treated (and the Holder proposing to make any such
Transfer shall continue be treated) as the owner of such Equity Interests of the Company for all purposes of this Agreement. The Company may institute legal proceedings to force rescission of a Transfer prohibited by this Agreement and to seek any
other remedy available to it at law, in equity or otherwise, including an injunction prohibiting any such Transfer. 
 Section 4.5
Transfer of Voting Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Certificate of Incorporation, a Voting Right Transferring Holder shall, at any time, be entitled to irrevocably transfer the Voting Rights, but not the Economic Rights
or such Voting Cutback Shares themselves, with respect to all shares of Voting Cutback Shares held by such Voting Right Transferring Holder to a Voting Right Transferee Holder; provided that a Voting Right Transferee Holder may not be a Non-Citizen; provided, further, that if at any time any Voting Cutback Shares held by such Voting Right Transferring Holder (i) are transferred to a person or entity that is not a Non-Citizen or (ii) are otherwise no longer subject to suspension and are reinstated in accordance with Section 3.3 of Article XIV of the Certificate of Incorporation, then such Voting Rights shall
automatically be transferred from the applicable Voting Right Transferee Holder back to, and fully vested in, the applicable Voting Right Transferring Holder without any further action by such Voting Right Transferring Holder, Voting Right
Transferee Holder or the Company, and such Voting Right Transferee Holder shall have no further rights or privileges associated with such Voting Cutback Shares.

 Section 4.6 Tag-Along Right. 

(i) Each of the Holders hereby agrees that if any Major Holder (each, an “Initiating Tag Holder”) shall, in any one
transaction or any series of related transactions (except any Underwritten Offering), directly or indirectly, propose to Transfer greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Fully Diluted Common Shares then owned by such Initiating Tag Holder to any
Person, other than a Permitted Transferee of an Initiating Tag Holder (a “Tag-Along Transaction”), the Initiating Tag Holders (or a designated representative acting on their behalf) shall
deliver written notice (a “Tag-Along Notice”) to (A) any Holder with a Holder Ownership Percentage of at least five percent (5%) or (B) any Initial Secured Creditor (the “Tag-Along Rightholders”) and the Company, in accordance with Section 7.1, at least thirty (30) Business Days prior to the consummation of such
Tag-Along Transaction, offering the Tag-Along Rightholders the opportunity to participate in such Tag-Along Transaction on the
terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice (which terms and conditions shall be substantially the same as those terms and conditions applicable to the Initiating Tag Holders, except as to the
number of shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock proposed to be sold) and otherwise complying with the requirements of Applicable Law, if any; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this
Section 4.6(i) shall not apply to any Underwritten Offering. The Tag-Along Notice shall contain a general description of the material terms and conditions of the Tag-Along Transaction, including the identity of the parties to the proposed Tag-Along Transaction, the total number of shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock proposed
to be sold, the proposed amount and form of consideration and whether any termination fee, break-up fee or similar fee would be payable by the Initiating Tag Holders and the
Tag-Along Rightholders if the Tag-Along Transaction is not consummated (and the amount of any such termination fee, break-up fee
or similar fee), and a copy of any acquisition agreement entered into in connection with such Tag-Along Transaction. 

(ii) Each Tag-Along Rightholder may, by written notice to the Initiating Tag Holders (or their
designated representative) delivered within twenty (20) Business Days after delivery of the Tag-Along Notice to such Tag-Along Rightholder (the “Tag-Along Notice Period”), elect to sell an amount up to all of the shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock held by such Holder in such Tag-Along Transaction,
on the terms and conditions set forth in the Tag-Along Notice; provided, however, that if such proposed Transferee desires to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock
that is less than the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock proposed to be sold by the Initiating Tag Holders and any Tag-Along Rightholders electing to sell shares of Common Stock
and/or Preferred Stock held by such Tag-Along Rightholder(s) in the Tag-Along Transaction, then each Initiating Tag Holder and each
Tag-Along Rightholder shall have the right to include its pro rata portion (based on of the relative ownership of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock held by the Initiating Tag
Holder and all the Tag-Along Rightholders electing to sell shares in the Tag-Along Transaction as of the date of the Tag-Along
Notice) of the shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock to be transferred to the proposed Transferee on the same terms and conditions as the Initiating Tag Holders. Failure to respond within the Tag-Along
Notice Period shall be regarded as a rejection of the offer made pursuant to the Tag-Along Notice and a waiver by such Tag-Along Rightholder of its rights under this
Section 4.6 only with respect to the applicable Tag-Along Transaction. 

(iii) In connection with any Tag-Along Transaction in which any
Tag-Along Rightholder elects to participate pursuant to this Section 4.6, each such Tag-Along Rightholder will take all necessary or desirable
actions reasonably requested by the Initiating Tag Holders and/or the Company in connection with the consummation of such Tag-Along 

  
 29 












 
Transaction, including executing and delivering the applicable purchase agreement, merger agreement, indemnity agreement, escrow agreement, letter of transmittal or other agreements or documents
governing or relating to such Tag-Along Transaction that the Company, the Initiating Tag Holders or the Transferee in such Tag-Along Transaction may reasonably request
(the “Tag-Along Transaction Documents”), pursuant to which such Initiating Tag Holder and Tag-Along Rightholder shall agree (A) to provide
customary representations and warranties regarding its legal status and authority, and its ownership of the shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock being transferred, and customary (several but not joint) indemnities regarding the same,
(B) to participate pro rata based on the consideration to be received by such Tag-Along Rightholder in any customary indemnities with respect to matters other than the representations and warranties
described in clause (A) above, it being understood that such participation shall be limited to funding, on a pro rata basis based on the consideration to be received by such Tag-Along Rightholder,
any escrow arrangements related thereto and being responsible for such Tag-Along Rightholder’s pro rata share of any withdrawals therefrom and (C) a customary confidentiality covenant;
provided, that in no event shall any Tag-Along Rightholder be obligated to agree to any restrictive covenant, including any non-competition covenant, employee non-solicit covenant or other similar agreement restricting the business operations of the Tag-Along Rightholder as a condition of participating in such Transfer other than
the customary confidentiality covenant described above. 
 (iv) At the closing of any Tag-Along
Transaction in which any Tag-Along Rightholder has exercised its rights under this Section 4.6, such Tag-Along Rightholder shall deliver at
such closing, against payment of the consideration therefor in accordance with the terms of the Tag-Along Transaction Documents, certificates or other documentation (or other evidence thereof reasonably
acceptable to the Transferee of such shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock) representing its shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock to be sold, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by duly endorsed stock powers, and such other
documents as are deemed reasonably necessary by the Initiating Tag Holders, the Transferee and/or the Company for the proper Transfer of such shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock on the books of the Company, free and clear of any liens
(other than liens imposed by this Agreement, the Organizational Documents or Applicable Law or that are otherwise permitted pursuant to the Tag-Along Transaction Documents). 

(v) Each Initiating Tag Holder and each Tag-Along Rightholder electing to participate in a Tag-Along Transaction will bear its pro rata share (based upon the relative number of shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock to be sold by each such Person in such
Tag-Along Transaction) of the costs and expenses of any such Tag-Along Transaction to the extent such costs and expenses are incurred for the benefit of all such Holders
and are not otherwise paid by the Company or the Transferee. Costs and expenses incurred by any such Holder on its own behalf will not be considered costs of the Tag-Along Transaction and will be borne solely
by such Holder. 
 (vi) The Company shall, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Officers, managers, employees,
agents, contractors and others under its control to, cooperate and assist in any proposed Tag-Along Transaction. 

  
 30 












 (vii) If any Tag-Along Rightholder electing to
participate in a Tag-Along Transaction breaches any of its obligations under this Section 4.6 or under any of the Tag-Along Transaction
Documents, then such Tag-Along Rightholder will be provided a notice of such breach promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) following the identification thereof and a reasonable
opportunity to cure any such breach (if curable) and, if such breach remains uncured as of the date that is ten (10) Business Days following delivery of such notice, then such Tag-Along Rightholder will
not be permitted to participate in such Tag-Along Transaction and the Initiating Tag Holders can proceed to close such Tag-Along Transaction excluding the sale of such Tag-Along Rightholder’s shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock therefrom. 
 (viii) The
consideration to be received by a Tag-Along Rightholder shall be the same form and amount of consideration per share of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock to be received by the Initiating Tag Holder, and the
terms and conditions of such sale shall be the same as those upon which the Initiating Tag Holder sells its shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock; provided, that if the Initiating Tag Holder shall have a bona fide election as
to the form of consideration to be received in a Tag-Along Transaction, the Tag-Along Rightholders shall have the opportunity to make the same election with respect
thereto. If any Holders of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock are given an option as to the form and amount of consideration to be received in the Tag-Along Transaction, all the
Tag-Along Rightholders must be given the same option. 
 (ix) The provisions of this
Section 4.6 shall not apply in the event that an Initiating Drag Holder Transfers shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock in a Drag Transaction in which such Initiating Drag Holder exercises its rights under
Section 4.6. 
 (x) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Transfer of Equity Interests
of the Company in order to restructure or reorganize the Company’s Equity Interests in order to comply with the DOT’s and FAA’s U.S. citizenship requirements shall not provide any tag-along
rights pursuant to Section 4.6 to Holders. 
 Section 4.7 Drag-Along Right. 

(i) Subject to Section 4.7(vii), if any Holder or group of Holders (the “Initiating Drag
Holder”) collectively holding greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Fully Diluted Common Shares desires to Transfer all of its or their shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, to any Person, other than a
Permitted Transferee of any of the Initiating Drag Holders, in a single transaction or series of related transactions, whether pursuant to a sale of the Equity Securities of the Company or an alternate form of transaction at the election of the
Initiating Drag Holder (including through a merger transaction or business combination) (a “Drag Transaction”), then if requested by the Initiating Drag Holder, each other Holder (each, a “Selling Holder”) shall be
required to sell all of its shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock (or, if applicable, to support such alternate form of transaction) in accordance with this Section 4.7; provided, however, that if, at
the time of such proposed Drag Transaction there shall exist any Additional Major Holders, then the approval of the Major Holders representing at least fifty percent (50%) of the Equity Interests of the Company then owned by all of the Major Holders
shall be required in order to consummate any proposed Drag Transaction. 

  
 31 












 (ii) The consideration to be received by a Selling Holder shall be the same form and amount
of consideration per share to be received by the Initiating Drag Holder, and the terms and conditions of such Drag Transaction shall be the same as those applicable to the Initiating Drag Holder. In connection with the Drag Transaction, the Selling
Holder will agree (A) to provide customary representations and warranties regarding its legal status and authority, and its ownership of the shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock being transferred, and customary (several but not joint)
indemnities regarding the same, and (B) to participate pro rata based on the consideration to be received by such Selling Holder in any customary indemnities with respect to matters other than the representations and warranties described in
clause (A) above, it being understood that such participation shall be limited to funding, on a pro rata basis based on the consideration to be received by such Selling Holder, any escrow arrangements related thereto and being
responsible for such Holder’s pro rata share of any withdrawals therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall any Selling Holder be required (x) to agree to any restrictive covenant, including any non-competition covenant, employee non-solicit covenant or other similar agreement restricting the business operations of the Holder as a condition of participating in such
Transfer, other than confidentiality, or (y) to agree to any indemnification obligations or contribute any amount in excess of the net cash amount received by such Selling Holder in any such Drag Transaction. 

(iii) In connection with any Drag Transaction, each Selling Holder shall be required to vote, if such a vote is required by this Agreement,
Applicable Law, or otherwise, its shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock in favor of such Drag Transaction at any Holders Meeting called to vote on or approve such Drag Transaction and/or to consent in writing to such Drag Transaction, and
the Holders and the Company shall take all other actions necessary or reasonably required to cause, and shall not interfere with, the consummation of such Drag Transaction on the terms and conditions proposed by the Initiating Drag Holder, including
executing, acknowledging and delivering consents, assignments, waivers and other documents or instruments, furnishing information and copies of documents, and filing applications, reports, returns and other documents or instruments with governmental
authorities; provided that in each case, a Selling Holder shall be provided with reasonable prior notice of, and the opportunity to review (including with its external advisors), any such actions so required by Selling Holders to cause the
consummation of a Drag Transaction. Without limiting the foregoing, (A) each Holder shall vote or cause to be voted all shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock that such Holder holds or with respect to which such Holder has the power to
direct the voting and which are entitled to vote on such Drag Transaction in favor of such Drag Transaction and shall waive any dissenter’s rights, appraisal rights or similar rights which such Holder may have in connection therewith and
(B) if the proposed Drag Transaction is structured as or involves a sale or redemption of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock, then each Holder shall agree to sell such Holder’s pro rata share of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock
being sold in such Drag Transaction on the terms and conditions approved by the Board or proposed by the Initiating Drag Holder, as applicable, and such Holders shall execute all documents reasonably necessary or required to effectuate such Drag
Transaction. 
 (iv) The fees and expenses, other than those payable to any Holder or any of their respective Affiliates, incurred in

for the benefit of all Holders), to 

  
 32 












 
the extent not paid or reimbursed by the Company or the Transferee or acquiring Person, shall be shared by all the Holders on a pro rata basis, in proportion to the consideration received by each
Holder; provided, that no Holder shall be obligated to make any out-of-pocket expenditure prior to the consummation of the Drag Transaction consummated pursuant
to this Section 4.7 (excluding de minimis expenditures). 
 (v) The Initiating Drag Holder shall provide written
notice (the “Drag-Along Notice”) to each other Selling Holder of any proposed Drag Transaction as soon as practicable; provided, that such Drag-Along Notice shall be provided to each other Selling Holder no later than twenty
(20) Business Days prior to the earlier of (A) the consummation of the Drag Transaction and (B) the Holder vote, if any, required for the consummation of such Drag Transaction. The Drag-Along Notice will include the material terms and
conditions of the Drag Transaction, including (x) the name and address of the proposed Transferee, (y) the proposed amount and form of consideration and (z) the proposed Transfer date, if known. The Initiating Drag Holder will deliver
or cause to be delivered to each Selling Holder copies of all transaction documents (including any schedules, exhibits and annexes thereto) relating to the Drag Transaction promptly as the same become available. 

(vi) Each Selling Holder shall cooperate in the Drag Transaction and will take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the
consummation of the Drag Transaction as are reasonably requested, including, in the event of a Drag Transaction involving the Transfer of Equity Securities of the Company, delivering the duly endorsed certificate or certificates if any, representing
the shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock held by such Selling Holder to be sold or, in the event the shares of Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock are held in book entry, such evidence of ownership and transfer as the transfer agent for the
Common Stock and/or Preferred Stock may reasonably require in order to effect the transfer thereof, and a stock power and limited power-of-attorney authorizing the
Company to take all actions necessary to sell or otherwise dispose of such securities. In the event that a Selling Holder should fail to deliver such certificates and/or documentation, the Company shall cause the books and records of the Company to

(vii) The Initiating Drag Holder shall, in its sole discretion, decide whether or not to pursue, consummate, postpone or abandon any proposed
Transfer subject to this Section 4.7 and the terms and conditions hereof. No Holder or Affiliate or Affiliated Fund of a Holder shall have any liability to any other Holder or the Company arising from, relating to or in
connection with the pursuit, consummation, postponement, abandonment or terms and conditions of any proposed Transfer subject to this Section 4.7, except to the extent such Holder shall have failed to comply with the
provisions of this Section 4.7.

 ARTICLE V 

PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS 

Section 5.1 Preemptive Rights. 

(a) Generally. The Board, subject to the Plan, the Company’s Organizational Documents, the preemptive rights provided for in this
Article V, and the consent rights provided for in Section 2.2(a) and Section 2.2(b), shall have the authority to issue Common Stock or Preferred Stock or other Equity Securities of the
Company in such amounts and for such consideration per share of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other Equity Security as the Board shall determine. 

(b) Procedure. In the event the Board determines to issue Common Stock, Preferred Stock, other Equity Securities or Preemptive
Convertible Debt Securities of the Company or any Subsidiary after obtaining prior written consent of the Major Holders as required by Section 2.2(a), to the extent applicable (the foregoing, collectively, the
“Preemptive Rights Shares”), except as provided in Section 5.1(g), the Board shall give (i) each Holder with a Holder Ownership Percentage equal to or exceeding two percent (2%) and (ii) each
Initial Secured Creditor (each such Holder, an “Entitled Holder”), written notice of such proposed issuance at least ten (10) days prior to the proposed issuance date (an “Issuance Notice”). The Issuance Notice
shall specify the number and class of Preemptive Rights Shares and the per share consideration (or a good faith range of the price if the final consideration amount is not then determinable) at which such Preemptive Rights Shares are proposed to be
issued and the other material terms and conditions of such Preemptive Rights Shares and of the issuance, including the proposed closing date. Subject to Section 5.1(g), each such Entitled Holder shall be entitled to
purchase, for the per share consideration (provided that if a range is provided in the Issuance Notice then each Entitled Holder shall be entitled to condition such participation to within a specified value or price range and/or reserve all
rights to elect not to participate upon the final determination of the per share consideration) and on the other terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice, up to a number of Preemptive Rights Shares equal to (x) the number of
Preemptive Rights Shares proposed to be issued by the Company, multiplied by (y) their Holder Ownership Percentage immediately prior to the proposed issuance (the “Preemptive Rights Ratio”). 

(c) Exercise of Rights. An Entitled Holder may exercise its rights under Section 5.1(b) by delivering written
notice of its election to purchase such Preemptive Rights Shares to the Board within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the Issuance Notice. A delivery of such notice (which notice shall specify the number of Preemptive Rights Shares
requested to be purchased by the Entitled Holder submitting such notice, up to the maximum amount determined pursuant to the final sentence of Section 5.1(b) above) by such Entitled Holder shall constitute a binding
agreement of such Entitled Holder to purchase, for the per share consideration and on the terms and conditions specified in the Issuance Notice, the number of Preemptive Rights Shares specified in such Entitled Holder’s notice. If, at the end
of such five (5) day period, any Entitled Holder has not exercised its right to purchase any of its Preemptive Rights Ratio of such Preemptive Rights Shares by delivering such notice, such Entitled Holder shall be deemed to have waived all of
its rights under this Article V with respect to, and only with respect to, the purchase of such Equity Securities specified in the applicable Issuance Notice. 

  
 34 












 (d) Failure to Exercise. If any of the Entitled Holders fails to exercise its
preemptive rights under this Article V, or such rights are exercised with respect to less than all such Preemptive Rights Shares (the difference between such Preemptive Rights Shares and the number of Preemptive Rights Shares for
which such Entitled Holders exercised their preemptive rights under this Article V, the “Excess Shares”), then the Company (or the applicable Subsidiary) shall offer to sell to the Entitled Holders that have elected to
purchase all of their Preemptive Rights Ratio of the Preemptive Rights Shares any Excess Shares, pro rata and for the same per share consideration and on the same terms as those specified in the Issuance Notice, and such Entitled Holders shall have
the right to acquire all or any portion of such Excess Shares within two (2) Business Days following the expiration of the period specified in Section 5.1(c) by delivering written notice thereof to the Company. 

(e) Timing. Subject to compliance with this Article V, the Company shall have sixty (60) days after the date of the Issuance
Notice to consummate the proposed issuance of any or all of such Preemptive Rights Shares that the applicable Entitled Holders have elected not to purchase at the same (or higher) per share consideration and upon such other terms and conditions
that, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the Company than those specified in the Issuance Notice; provided, that, if such issuance is subject to regulatory approval, such 60-day period shall be extended until the
expiration of five (5) Business Days after all such approvals have been received, but in no event to later than ninety (90) days after the date of the Issuance Notice. If the Board proposes to issue any Preemptive Rights Shares
(x) during such 60-day period (or 90-day period, if applicable) at a lower per share consideration or on such other terms that are, taken as a whole, materially less favorable to the Company, or (y) at any point after such 60-day period (or 90-day period, if applicable) it shall again comply with the procedures set forth in this Article V. 

(f) Disclaimer of Liability. The Company shall be under no obligation to consummate any proposed issuance of Preemptive Rights Shares,
nor shall there be any liability on the part of the Company or the Board to any Entitled Holder if the Company has not consummated any proposed issuance of Preemptive Rights Shares pursuant to this Article V for whatever reason, except for
willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement, regardless of whether the Board shall have delivered an Issuance Notice in respect of such proposed issuance. 

(g) Exceptions. The preemptive rights under this Article V shall not apply to: 

(i) issuances or sales of Equity Securities to any existing or prospective employees, officers, Independent Directors, managers or consultants
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to any stock option, employee stock purchase, employee benefits or similar equity incentive plan or other compensation agreement of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including offer letters,
employment agreements, appointment letters or any MIP); 
 (ii) issuances or sales in, or in connection with, a merger, business combination
or reorganization of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with or into another Person or an acquisition by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries of another Person or substantially all the assets of another Person, in each case, approved in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, to the extent required under Section 2.2; 

  
 35 












 (iii) issuances by the Company or a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company to the Company or
another wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company; 
 (iv) issuances as a dividend or upon any stock split, reclassification, recapitalization,
exchange or readjustment of Common Stock, or other similar transaction (in each case, on a pro rata basis); 
 (v) issuances upon the
conversion or exercise of any Common Stock Equivalents of the Company which Common Stock Equivalents were (A) outstanding on the Effective Date or otherwise issued pursuant to the Plan or (B) issued in compliance with the terms and
conditions of this Section 5.1; 
 (vi) issuances to banks, equipment lessors or other financial institutions, or
to real property lessors, pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction approved by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that such issuance, collectively with the issuances under clauses
(i), (vii) and (viii) in the aggregate, does not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding
immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of convertible securities (including the Preferred Stock) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding options therefor) immediately prior to such issuance); 

(vii) issuances to suppliers or third party service providers in connection with the provision of goods or services pursuant to transactions
approved by the Board of Directors; provided, however, (x) that the price or exercise or conversion price for such Equity Securities, as applicable, shall not be less than fair market value at the time of issuance, as in
determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, and (y) such issuances, collectively with the issuances under clauses (i), (vi) and (viii) in the aggregate, does not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the then-outstanding shares of Common
Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of convertible securities (including the Preferred Stock )
outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding options therefor) immediately prior to such issuance); 
 (viii) issuances pursuant to any
transaction determined by the Board of Directors to be strategic; provided, however, that (x) such issuance is approved by the Board of Directors, (y) such issuance is not for the principal purpose of raising equity capital
and (z) such issuance, collectively with the issuances under clauses (i), (vi) and (vii) in the aggregate, does not exceed twenty percent (20%) of the then-outstanding shares of Common Stock (treating for this purpose as outstanding all
shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options outstanding immediately prior to such issue or upon conversion or exchange of convertible securities (including the Preferred Stock ) outstanding (assuming exercise of any outstanding options
therefor) immediately prior to such issuance); or 
 (ix) issuances in connection with the settlement of any litigation, arbitration,
mediation or other similar proceeding of the Company.

CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES 

Section 6.1 Corporate Opportunities. 

(a) Any of the Holders, the Board Designees or Nominating Committee Observers who are employed by any of the Holders or any of their Affiliates
and Affiliated Funds, any of the foregoing Persons’ respective Affiliates and Affiliated Funds and any one or more of the respective managers, directors, principals, officers, employees and other representatives of such Persons or their
respective Affiliates and Affiliated Funds, in each case who is not also an employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (the foregoing Persons being referred to, collectively, as “Identified Persons”) may now engage, may
continue to engage, or may, in the future, engage in the same or similar activities or lines of business as those in which the Company or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, now engage or may engage or other business activities that
overlap with, are complementary to, or compete with those in which the Company or any of its Affiliates, directly or indirectly, now engage or may engage (any such activity or line of business, an “Opportunity”). No Identified
Person shall, as a result of its capacity as such, have any duty to refrain, directly or indirectly, from (i) engaging in any Opportunity or (ii) otherwise competing with the Company or any of its Affiliates. No Identified Person shall, as
a result of its capacity as such, have any duty or obligation to refer or offer to the Company or any of its Affiliates any Opportunity, and the Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy of the Company in, or in being offered, an
opportunity to participate in any Opportunity which may be a corporate (or analogous) or business opportunity for the Company or any of its Affiliates. 

(b) In the event that any Identified Person acquires knowledge of a potential transaction or other corporate (or analogous) or business
opportunity which may be an Opportunity for the Company or any of its Affiliates, such Identified Person shall have no duty to communicate or offer such Opportunity to the Company or any of its Affiliates and shall not be liable to the Company or
the stockholders for breach of any purported fiduciary duty by reason of the fact that such Identified Person pursues or acquires such Opportunity for itself, or offers or directs such Opportunity to another Person (including any Affiliate or
Affiliated Fund of such Identified Person). Notwithstanding Section 6.1(a) and this Section 6.1(b), the Company does not renounce any interest or expectancy it may have in any Opportunity that is
offered to a Director, Officer, employee or consultant of the Company if such Opportunity is expressly first offered to such Person in the capacity of a Director, Officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or knowledge
of such Opportunity is first acquired by such Person solely as a result of such Person’s position as a Director, Officer, employee or consultant of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and does not waive any claims in respect of breaches of
fiduciary duty arising therefrom. 
 (c) The Identified Persons may now own, may continue to own, and from time to time may acquire and own,
investments in one or more other entities (such entities, collectively, “Related Companies”) that are direct competitors of, or that otherwise may have interests that do or could conflict with those of, the Company, any stockholders
of the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, and (a) the enjoyment, exercise and enforcement of the rights, interests, privileges, powers and benefits granted or available to the Identified Persons under this Agreement shall not be in
any manner reduced, diminished, affected or impaired, and the obligations of the 

  
 37 












 
Identified Persons under this Agreement shall not be in any manner augmented or increased, by reason of any act, circumstance, occurrence or event arising from or in any respect relating to
(i) the ownership by an Identified Person of any interest in any Related Company, (ii) the affiliation of any Related Company with an Identified Person or (iii) any action taken or omitted by an Identified Person in respect of any
Related Company, (b) no Identified Person shall, by reason of such ownership, affiliation or action, become subject to any fiduciary duty to the Company, any of the stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates, (c) none of the duties
imposed on an Identified Person, whether by contract or law, do or shall limit or impair the right of any Identified Person lawfully to compete with the Company, any of its stockholders or any of their respective Affiliates and (d) the
Identified Persons are not and shall not be obligated to disclose to the Company, any of the stockholders of the Company or any of their respective Affiliates any information related to their respective businesses or opportunities, including
acquisition opportunities, or to refrain from or in any respect to be restricted in competing against the Company, any of the stockholders of the Company or any of their respective Affiliates in any such business or as to any such opportunities.

 (d) In addition to and notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VI, a corporate (or analogous) or business
opportunity shall not be deemed to be an Opportunity for the Company or any of its Affiliates if it is an opportunity (a) that the Company is neither financially or legally able, nor contractually permitted to undertake, (b) that from its
nature, is not in the line of the Company’s business or is of no practical advantage to the Company or (c) in which the Company has no interest or reasonable expectancy.

any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such, action, suit or proceeding in any such court or that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

 Section 7.4 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties to this Agreement hereby agrees to waive its respective rights to a
jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of this Agreement. The scope of this waiver is intended to be all-encompassing of any and all disputes that may be filed in any court and
that relate to the subject matter of this Agreement, including contract claims, tort claims and all other common law and statutory claims. Each party hereto acknowledges that this waiver is a material inducement to enter into this Agreement, that
each has already relied on this waiver in entering into this Agreement and that each will continue to rely on this waiver in their related future dealings. Each party hereto further warrants and represents that it has reviewed this waiver with its
legal counsel and that it knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights following consultation with legal counsel. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING (OTHER THAN BY A MUTUAL WRITTEN

 Section 7.7 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited,
unenforceable or not authorized in any jurisdiction is, as to such jurisdiction, ineffective to the extent of any such prohibition, unenforceability or nonauthorization without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, or affecting the validity,
enforceability or legality of such provision in any other jurisdiction, unless the ineffectiveness of such provision would result in such a material change as to cause completion of the transactions contemplated hereby to be unreasonable. Upon a
determination that any provision of this Agreement is prohibited, unenforceable or not authorized, the parties hereto agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as
possible, in a mutually acceptable manner, in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 

Section 7.8 Specific Performance. Each party hereto agrees that irreparable harm would occur to the other parties hereto, for
which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with their specific terms or are otherwise breached, including if any party hereto fails to take any
action required of them hereunder, or threatened to be breached. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to them at law or equity, the parties hereto shall be entitled to an
injunction or injunctions, without proof of damages, to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement. Each party hereto agrees that it will not oppose the granting
of an injunction or a temporary restraining order, specific performance or other equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond) on the basis that (i) the other party has an adequate remedy at law
or (ii) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives (i) any defenses in any action for specific performance, including the defense that a remedy
at law would be adequate and (ii) any requirement under any law to post a bond or other security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief. 

Section 7.9 No Waivers; Amendments. 

(a) No failure or delay on the part of the Company or any Holder in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver
thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided for herein are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any remedies that may be available to the Company or any Holder at law or in equity or otherwise. 
 (b) Subject to
Section 2.2, this Agreement may only be amended, modified, or supplemented by an instrument in writing executed by the Company and each Holder owning at least five percent (5%) of the Fully Diluted Common Shares;
provided, that no provision of this Agreement shall be amended, modified, or supplemented in a manner that is disproportionately and materially adverse to any individual Holder or a group of Holders, without the prior written consent of such
Holder or group of Holders, as applicable; provided, however, that any provision 

  
 40 












 
of this Agreement requiring the written consent or agreement of the Holders holding a Holder Ownership Percentage in excess of the Holder Ownership Percentage collectively held by the Major
Holders can only be amended, modified, or supplemented by an instrument in writing executed by the Company and the Holders collectively holding such higher Holder Ownership Percentage; provided, further, however, this
Section 7.9(b) can only be amended with the approval of all Holders; provided, further, however, that to the extent that any of the consent or approval rights contained in this
Section 7.9(b) would violate the DOT’s and FAA’s U.S. citizenship requirements, such consent or approval rights shall be considered null and void to the extent of any such violation. Any such written amendment,
modification, or supplement will be binding upon the Company and each Holder. 
 (c) No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof
shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. No waiver by any party shall operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach, or default not expressly identified by such written
waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. 

Section 7.10 Non-Recourse. All claims, obligations, liabilities, or causes of action
(whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or granted by statute) that may be based upon, in respect of, arise under, out or by reason of, be connected with, or relate in any manner to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution, or
performance of this Agreement (including any representation or warranty made in, in connection with, or as an inducement to, this Agreement), may be made only against (and are expressly limited to) the entities that are expressly identified as
parties in the preamble to this Agreement (“Contracting Parties”). No Person who is not a Contracting Party, including any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, Affiliated Fund,
agent, attorney, or representative of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any Contracting Party, or any director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, manager, stockholder, Affiliate, Affiliated Fund, agent, attorney, or
representative of, and any financial advisor or lender to, any of the foregoing (“Non-Party Affiliates”), shall have any liability (whether in contract or in tort, in law or in equity, or
granted by statute) for any claims, causes of action, obligations, or liabilities arising under, out of, in connection with, or related in any manner to this Agreement or based on, in respect of, or by reason of this Agreement or its negotiation,
execution, performance, or breach; and, to the maximum extent permitted by law, each Contracting Party hereby waives and releases all such liabilities, claims, causes of action, and obligations against any such
Non-Party Affiliates. 
 Section 7.11 Action by Holders. 

(i) Any action to be taken or consent or approval to be given by a Major Holder pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed taken, consented to

by such Major Holder. 

  
 41 












 (ii) Any Major Holder may exercise the rights, and grant any approval or consent, under this
Agreement of the other Holders comprising such Major Holder.

shall take such further action and shall execute and deliver such further documents, certificates, instruments, conveyances, and assurances and to take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by any other party hereto in order to carry
out the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.

agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both oral and written, with respect to such matters. In the event of any inconsistency or conflict between this
Agreement and any other Organizational Document, the Holders and the Company shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, amend such other Organizational Document to comply with the terms of this Agreement. 

Section 7.14 Independent Agreement by the Holders. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Holder, and no provision of this Agreement is intended to confer any obligations on any Holder vis-à-vis any other Holder. Nothing
contained herein, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way
acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated herein. 
 Section 7.15 No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, legal representatives, successors, and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is

representatives, successors, and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or entity any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of
this Agreement. 
 Section 7.17 Expense Reimbursement. The Parties hereby acknowledge that, in connection with the
Restructuring, certain Holders and their Affiliates have taken steps to effect an internal restructuring (each, a “Holder Restructuring”) in order to ensure the Company’s compliance with the DOT’s and FAA’s U.S.
citizenship requirements at and as of the Effective Date. If upon the Effective Date (or at any time thereafter), it is determined by the Board, acting in its good faith and reasonable discretion, or by the DOT or FAA that a Holder is a non-U.S. Citizen, notwithstanding that such Holder may have implemented a Holder Restructuring (such non-U.S. Citizen, a “Required Restructuring Holder”),
and, as a result of such determination, the Company and/or any Holder is required to take steps to either (i) help cure such Required Restructuring Holder’s defective Holder Restructuring, (ii) to effect a Holder Restructuring itself
or (iii) otherwise restructure the Company’s ownership, in each case, in order to cause the Company’s compliance with the DOT’s and FAA’s U.S. citizenship requirements, then the Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the
Company shall reimburse all such Holders for all reasonable documented, out-of-pocket costs, fees or expenses, including legal, accounting, tax, filing and other
organizational fees and expenses incurred or paid by such Holder or Holders in order to effect a successful Holder Restructuring or otherwise cause the Company’s compliance with the DOT’s and FAA’s U.S. citizenship requirements.
