consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I

 DEBT EXCHANGES AND DEBT CONTRIBUTION 

Section 1.1    Debt Exchanges and Debt Contribution. 

(a)    The Issuer and the Investors hereby agree, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the Exchange
Closing (as defined below), that (i) the Investors shall surrender to the Issuer, for cancellation, Tranche B Notes with an aggregate principal amount and accrued interest of equal to the Surrendered P&I—Common in exchange for the Exchange
Common Shares; and (ii) the Investors shall surrender to the Issuer, for cancellation, Tranche B Notes with an aggregate principal amount and accrued interest equal to the Surrendered P&I—Series C in exchange for the Exchange Series C
Preferred Shares. The number of Exchange Series C Preferred Shares shall equal the Aggregate Series C Liquidation Value divided by $1,000 (which equals the “Liquidation Value” (as defined in the Certificate of
Designation) of one share of Series C Preferred Stock). Exhibit C sets forth the calculation of the parties of the following for each Investor: (i) the total aggregate principal amount and accrued interest of the Tranche B Notes owned by such
Investor as of the date hereof, (ii) Surrendered P&I—Common, (iii) Exchange Common Shares, (iv) Surrendered P&I—Series C, (v) Exchange Series C Preferred Shares and (vi) remaining aggregate amount of principal and accrued interest
of the Tranche B Notes owned by such Investor. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the fair market value of the Exchange Series C Preferred Shares shall be determined by the Issuer in good faith after the consummation of
the Merger (as defined in the 

  
 2 







 
Merger Agreement) and Issuer will provide such determination to the Investors for their consent not later than thirty (30) days prior to filing the Issuer’s U.S. federal income tax return
for the Company’s fiscal year that includes the Closing Date (as defined in the SPA), which consent of the Investors shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, provided that the Investors’ consent shall not
be necessary if the Issuer determines that the aggregate fair market value of the Exchange Series C Preferred Shares was Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) or less. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any Litigation with any Person it is
determined that the fair market value of the Exchange Series C Preferred Shares is different than the fair market value determined as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then the fair market value of the Exchange Series C Preferred
Shares shall be the amount determined as the fair market value of the Exchange Series C Preferred Shares in such Litigation and the amount of Surrendered P&I—Series C and the aggregate amount of principal and interest on the Tranche B Notes
contributed to the capital of the Issuer under Section 1.1(b) shall be determined consistent therewith. In the event of any such Litigation against any party, such party shall provide the other party with prompt written notice of such Litigation;
provided that failure of such party to provide prompt written notice shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement except to the extent the other party is actually prejudiced thereby. At the reasonable request of the other party, such
party shall provide reasonable information to the other party with respect to such Litigation. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Issuer and the Investors shall treat the Debt Exchanges as value-for-value satisfaction of indebtedness within
the meaning of Section 108(e)(8) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and shall act in all respects and for all purposes consistently with the foregoing treatment, including any position taken in any audit
or any return, report, claim, or other filing in connection with the determination, assessment or collection of U.S. federal, state or local income taxes (such return, report, claim or other filing, a “Tax Return”), unless required
to do so by applicable Law or pursuant to a good faith resolution of a Tax audit, exam or other Litigation (which, if a voluntary resolution by the Issuer shall be made after consultation with the Investors). If the Debt Exchanges result in an
ownership change as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.382-2T and the Closing Date (as defined in the SPA) is not the end of the taxable year of the Issuer for federal income tax purposes, the Issuer shall make a timely
closing-of-the-books election pursuant to U.S. Treasury Regulation § 1.382-6(b) with respect to such ownership change. Exhibit D contains an illustrative example of the Debt Exchange. 

(b)     The Investors hereby agree, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, at the Exchange Closing (as
defined below), to contribute to the capital of the Issuer Tranche B Notes with an aggregate principal amount and accrued interest equal to the excess of (x) the Closing P&I Amount less the Surrendered P&I—Common and the Surrendered
P&I—Series C over the Tranche B Notes Allocation. For U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Issuer and the Investors shall treat this Debt Contribution as a contribution to the capital of the Issuer within the meaning of Code Section
108(e)(6), and shall act in all respects and for all purposes consistently with the foregoing treatment, including any position taken in any audit or Tax Return, unless required to do so by applicable Law or good faith resolution of a Tax audit,
exam or other Litigation (which, if a voluntary resolution by the Issuer shall be made after consultation with the Investors). Exhibit D contains an illustrative example of the Debt Contribution. 

  
 3 







 (c)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
consummation of the Debt Exchanges and the Debt Contribution shall take place at a closing (the “Exchange Closing”) to be held effective at such time on the Closing Date (as defined in the SPA) but prior to the Closing (as
defined in the SPA) as the parties may mutually agree upon, at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate Meagher & Flom LLP, Four Times Square, New York, NY, or at such other place as the parties hereto may mutually agree upon. At the Exchange
Closing, (i) the Investors shall deliver all of the issued and outstanding Tranche B Notes, including the Tranche B Notes to be cancelled pursuant to the Debt Exchanges and the Debt Contribution, and (ii) the Issuer shall deliver to the Investors
(x) certificates representing the Exchange Shares with respect to the Debt Exchanges and (y) replacement Tranche B Notes (which replacement Tranche B Note issued to each Investor shall be delivered as a single physical instrument to such Investor)
reflecting the aggregate amount of principal and accrued interest remaining outstanding under the Tranche B Notes delivered to the Issuer which were not cancelled pursuant to the Debt Exchanges and the Debt Contribution. Immediately upon the
transfer of the Tranche B Notes to the Issuer under Section 1.1(a) and Section 1.1(b) of this Agreement, such Notes shall be cancelled and of no further force and effect, and all indebtedness thereunder or evidenced thereby shall be hereby released
and fully discharged, and no Investor shall have any further rights or claims arising therefrom, irrespective of whether any physical Tranche B Notes or other evidences of indebtedness have been surrendered or marked “cancelled.” For
avoidance of doubt, it is expressly understood and agreed that the Exchange Closing will not occur unless all conditions to the consummation of the Merger are satisfied or waived such that the Closing (as defined in the Merger Agreement) will occur
immediately after the Exchange Closing and the Closing (as defined in the SPA). 
 (d)    The Investors shall pay any
documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due with respect to the Debt Exchanges and the Debt Contribution. 

(e)    All Debt Exchanges and Debt Contributions shall be made by the Investors in proportion to their relative amount of
Closing P&I Amount with respect to the Tranche B Notes held by each Investor. 
 (f)    The Issuer and Investors
shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the preparation and filing of Tax Returns (as defined in the SPA), including computing any income of the Issuer from the discharge of
indebtedness under Code Section 108(e)(6), and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to the transactions set forth in this Agreement. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s request) the
provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or computation or any such audit, litigation or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional
information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. 
 (g)    For purposes of this Agreement, capitalized
terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the following meanings: 

(i)    “Aggregate Series C Liquidation Value” means the excess of (x) the Closing P&I
Amount minus the Surrendered P&I—Common over (y) the Tranche B Notes Allocation. 

  
 4 







 (ii)    “Closing P&I Amount” means the
total aggregate principal amount and accrued interest of the Tranche B Notes as of the Exchange Closing. 

(iii)    “Debt Value Percentage” means (x) (A) the Purchase Price (as defined in the SPA)
minus (B) the sum of (I) the Existing WLR Common Allocation, (II) $2.00, (III) the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses, and (IV) the Initial Holdback Amount, divided by (y) the Closing P&I Amount. 

(iv)    “Existing WLR Common Allocation” means an amount equal to $0.55 multiplied
by 14,334,155. 
 (v)    “Surrendered P&I—Common” means (A) 15,000,000
multiplied by $0.55 divided by (B) the Debt Value Percentage. 

(vi)    “Surrendered P&I—Series C” means (A) the fair market value of the
Exchange Series C Preferred Shares divided by (B) the Debt Value Percentage. 

(vii)    “Tranche B Notes Allocation” means the (A) Purchase Price (as defined in the
SPA) minus (B) the sum of (I) the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the Common Stock, Series A Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) of the SPA (clause (B), the “Stock
Allocation”), (II) the aggregate amount of the Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses and (III) the Initial Holdback Amount. 

Section 1.2    Legend. Any certificate or certificates representing the Exchange Shares (or any part thereof) will
bear the following legend, together with any and all other legends as may be required pursuant to applicable Law (and the Issuer may issue appropriate corresponding stop transfer instructions to any transfer agent for any of such securities): 

“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under any
applicable state law and may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of unless registered under such act and applicable state laws or unless an exemption from the registration requirements under such act or applicable state law requirements
is available.” 
 Such legend and the stop transfer instructions shall be removed and the Issuer shall issue a certificate representing such securities
without such legend to the holder thereof if (i) such securities are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or (ii) if such securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act,
and, in the case of clause (ii), when the Investor holding such securities has furnished to the Issuer evidence to such effect that the Issuer finds reasonably satisfactory which may include, without limitation, an opinion of counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Issuer (as to form and substance and counsel).

 Section 1.3    Certain Covenants of Investors. Prior to the Exchange
Closing, the Investors shall have taken all actions, corporate or otherwise, required to be taken by the Investors on or prior to the date of Exchange Closing in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the
Debt Exchanges and the Debt Contribution, and shall have obtained all necessary consents, approvals or authorizations required to be obtained by the Investors on or prior to the Exchange Closing in connection with this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including the Debt Exchanges and the Debt Contribution. At the Exchange Closing the Investors shall deliver the Tranche B Notes described in Sections 1.1(a) and (b) to the Issuer for cancellation and shall deliver to the Issuer
such other documents, certificates or other information as the Issuer or its counsel may reasonably request. 
 Section
1.4    Certain Covenants of the Issuer. At the Exchange Closing the Issuer shall issue and deliver, or cause to be issued and delivered, to the Investors, stock certificates or evidence of book entry registration,

registration or qualification under applicable state securities laws. Such Investor understands that the Exchange Shares it is acquiring under this Agreement have not been registered under the Securities Act by reason of their contemplated
issuance in transactions exempt from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and that the reliance of the Issuer on this exemption is predicated in part on these representations and warranties of
Investor. Such Investor acknowledges and agrees that a restrictive legend consistent with the foregoing has been or will be placed on the certificates for the Exchange Shares and related stop transfer instructions will be noted in the transfer
records of the Issuer and/or its transfer agent for the Exchange Shares, and that such Investor will not be permitted to sell, transfer or assign any of the Exchange Shares acquired hereunder until such Exchange Shares are registered or unless an
exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act is available.

the Issuer as such Investor deems necessary or appropriate with respect to the Debt Exchanges. 
 Section

or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under the partnership agreement and/or other documents governing the internal affairs of the Investor. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
does not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and compliance with the provisions hereof will not, conflict with, or result in any violation of, or default (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) under,
or give rise to a right of termination, cancellation or acceleration of any obligation or loss of a benefit under, or result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon any of the properties or assets of the Investor or any of its subsidiaries
under, (i) any material loan or credit agreement, note, bond, mortgage, indenture, lease or other agreement (including without limitation, the Subordination Agreement), obligation, instrument, permit, concession, franchise, license or similar
authorization applicable to the Investor or any of its respective properties or assets or (ii) any material judgment, order, decree, statute, law, ordinance, rule or regulation applicable to the Investor or any of its respective properties or

 9 







 
conflicts, violations, defaults, rights, losses, liens or encumbrances that, individually or in the aggregate, are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the ability of the
Investor to perform its obligations under this Agreement. 
 Section 3.6    Consents and Governmental Approvals.
No consent, approval, order or authorization of, action by or in respect of, or registration, declaration or filing with, any Governmental Entity is required by the Investor in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the
Investor or the consummation by the Investor of the Debt Exchanges, Debt Contribution or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for such consents, approvals, orders or authorizations the failure of which to be made or
obtained, individually or in the aggregate, is not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Investor or its ability to perform its obligations hereunder. 

Section 3.7    No Brokers. Neither such Investor, nor any of its respective partners or other representatives, has
incurred any obligation or liability, contingent or otherwise, for brokerage or finders’ fees or agents’ commissions or other similar payment in connection with the Debt Exchanges or Debt Contribution. 

Section 3.8    No Other Representations or Warranties. Each of the Investors is an informed and sophisticated
purchaser, and has engaged advisors, experienced in the evaluation and purchase of securities such as the Exchange Shares. Each of the Investors has undertaken such investigation and has been provided with and has evaluated such documents and
information as it has deemed necessary to enable such Investor to make an informed decision with respect to the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Issuer and its representatives
have answered to each Investors’ satisfaction all inquiries that such Investor or its representatives have made concerning the Exchange Shares. Except in connection with claims of or arising from fraud, each Investor agrees to accept the
Exchange Shares without reliance upon any express or implied representations or warranties of any nature, whether in writing, orally or otherwise, made by or on behalf of or imputed to the Issuer, except as expressly set forth in this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Investor acknowledges that the Issuer makes no representation or warranty with respect to any other information or documents made available to any of the Investors or its
