Section 9.6. The Commitment Premium and the Termination Fee shall, pursuant to the BCA Approval Order, constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estate under sections 503(b) and 507 of
the Bankruptcy Code.

Closing and (ii) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Debtors agree to pay in accordance with Section 3.3(b): (A) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including reasonable

transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses related thereto; and (D) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses incurred in connection with any required regulatory filings
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including, without limitation, filings done on Schedule 13D, Schedule 13G, Form 3 or Form 4, in each case, promulgated under the Exchange Act), in each case, that have been paid or
are payable by the Commitment Parties (such payment obligations set forth in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above, collectively, the “Expense Reimbursement”). The Expense Reimbursement shall,
pursuant to the BCA Approval Order, constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estate under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

(b)    The Expense Reimbursement accrued through the date on which the BCA Approval Order is entered shall be paid within
three (3) Business Days of the Company’s receipt of invoices therefor. The Expense Reimbursement accrued thereafter shall be payable by the Debtors within five (5) Business Days after receipt of monthly invoices therefor; provided, that

the Advisors, and the Commitment Parties and their respective Representatives will not be entitled to review the Highly Confidential Information. None of the Highly Confidential Information shall be subject to disclosure pursuant to
Section 6.4(d), and such Highly Confidential Information will only be disclosed to the public in the sole discretion of the Company; provided, however, that if any Highly Confidential Information is provided
by the Company to any Commitment Party or any of their respective Representatives (other than the Advisors) without such Commitment Party’s express prior written consent (given in its sole discretion), then such Highly Confidential Information
shall be subject to disclosure pursuant to Section 6.4(d), provided, further, that the Company agrees (i) to reasonably cooperate with the Commitment Parties to create summary forms of any Highly Confidential
Information that constitutes material non-public information (“MNPI”) and (ii) that such summary forms are subject to disclosure pursuant to Section 6.4(d). The Company shall not provide to the
Commitment Parties or any of their respective Representatives (other than the Advisors) any Highly Confidential Information without such Commitment Party’s express prior written consent given in its sole discretion. The Commitment Parties
acknowledge and agree that the Advisors are not permitted, pursuant to separate confidentiality agreements with the Company, to send to them, or otherwise share with them, any of the Highly Confidential Information (unless otherwise agreed in
writing by the Company in its sole discretion). The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Commitment Parties shall not, solely by virtue of the Advisors having such Highly Confidential Information, be deemed to have received any Highly
Confidential Information unless and until such Highly Confidential Information is provided to them. 
 (d)    During the
Pre-Closing Period, upon, and within forty eight (48) hours of, the written request (such time, the “Disclosure Time”) of the Required Commitment Parties, the Company shall make public such document or documents (the
“Cleansing Materials”) as may be required to disclose any information (or an appropriate summary that, at a minimum, includes the material portions thereof), in each case that constitutes MNPI that was provided by the Company
or the Company Representatives pursuant to this Agreement to the Commitment Parties or to the Commitment Parties’ respective Representatives (the “Disclosure Information”); provided, however,
notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to the second proviso in Section 6.4(c), the Highly Confidential Information shall not be subject to this Section 6.4(d), shall not constitute part of the Cleansing Materials and/or the Disclosure
Information, and shall not be disclosed without the Company’s prior written consent given in its sole discretion. Cleansing Materials shall be on Form 8-K or any periodic report required or permitted to be filed under the Exchange Act with
the SEC or, if the SEC’s EDGAR filing system is not available, in such other manner that the Company reasonably determines results in public dissemination of such information. The Company shall provide the Commitment Parties and the
Advisors with (i) a draft of the Cleansing Materials at least twelve (12) hours prior to the Disclosure Time and (ii) the opportunity to review and comment on such Cleansing Materials during such twelve (12) hour period (the “Review
Period”). The Company will in good faith incorporate the reasonable requests of the Commitment Parties for additions to or other modifications of the Cleansing 

  
 40 








 
Materials (including any descriptions, summaries or other supplemental disclosure materials proposed by the Advisors for inclusion in the Cleansing Materials, whether provided to the Company
before or during the Review Period). During the Review Period, the Commitment Parties may, to the extent applicable, provide written notice (the “Notice of Proposed Deficiency”) by email to the Company of the Commitment
Parties’ determination, in their reasonable judgment, in good faith, after consultation with internal or outside counsel, of the Disclosure Information, if any, required hereunder to be included in the Cleansing Materials but not included in
the proposed Cleansing Materials, and the Commitment Parties’ reasonable requests for additions to or other modifications of the Cleansing Materials. Upon the Company’s disclosure of the Cleansing Materials pursuant to this Section
6.4(d), the Company shall deliver a letter signed by a senior officer of the Company in which the Company represents and warrants to the Commitment Parties that, at such time and to the Knowledge of the Company, there is no MNPI (within the
meaning of Regulation FD of the Exchange Act) that the Company has provided to the Commitment Parties or to the Commitment Parties’ respective Representatives (other than, subject to the second proviso of Section 6.4(c), the Highly
Confidential Information provided exclusively to the Advisors) that has not been publicly disclosed in the Cleansing Materials such that the Commitment Parties and the Commitment Parties’ respective Representatives will no longer be restricted
from trading securities or loans of, or related to, the Company pursuant to applicable securities laws or otherwise solely on account of such MNPI. The Company further agrees that, in the event that the Company fails to disclose the Cleansing
Materials by the Disclosure Time or, in the reasonable judgment of the Commitment Parties, in good faith, after consultation with internal or outside counsel, such Cleansing Materials do not contain all of the Disclosure Information that is required
in this Section 6.4(d) to be included in the Cleansing Materials, and identified in writing during the Review Period in the Notice of Proposed Deficiency (to the extent that the Company meets its obligations with regard to the Review Period),
the Commitment Parties are authorized, subject to the conditions described in this Section 6.4(d), to make and disclose to the public such Cleansing Materials. The Company acknowledges and agrees that neither the Commitment Parties nor
any of the Commitment Parties’ respective Representatives shall have any liability at law or equity, including without limitation for any special, indirect, punitive, or consequential damages in contract, tort, warranty, strict liability or
otherwise, for the disclosure of Cleansing Materials by the Commitment Parties or the Commitment Parties’ respective Representatives to the extent such disclosure is made in compliance with the requirements of this
Section 6.4(d). Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that a Commitment Party chooses to make such a disclosure, then, at least forty-eight (48) hours prior to such disclosure, such Commitment Party shall give
the Company and each other Commitment Party a written notice (which may be via email) of intent to disclose (the “Disclosure Notice”), which Disclosure Notice shall also contain such Commitment Party’s proposed form,
content, and manner of disclosure of the applicable Disclosure Information to be disclosed in the Cleansing Materials. Such Commitment Party will in good faith incorporate the Company’s reasonable requests for additions to or other
modifications of the Cleansing Materials prior to such Commitment Party’s disclosure thereof. 
 Section
6.5    Financial Information. (a) During the Pre-Closing Period, the Company shall deliver to the counsel and financial advisors to the Commitment Parties, and to each Commitment Party that so requests in writing, all
statements and reports the Company is required to deliver to the Prepetition Agent pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of the Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) (the “Reports”). Neither any waiver by
the parties to 

  
 41 








 
the Credit Agreement of their right to receive the Reports nor any amendment or termination of the Credit Agreement shall affect the Company’s obligation to deliver the Reports to the
Commitment Parties in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
 (b)    Information required to be delivered
pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.02 of the Credit Agreement (as in effect on the date hereof) shall be deemed to have been delivered in accordance with Section 6.5(a) on the date on which the Company provides
written notice to the counsel and financial advisors to the Commitment Parties, and to each Commitment Party that so requests, such information that such information is available via the EDGAR system of the SEC on the internet (to the extent such
information has been posted or is available as described in such notice). 
 (c)    Each Commitment Party agrees that
all information and reports delivered pursuant to this Section 6.5 (except to the extent provided pursuant to Section 6.5(b)) shall be subject to the provisions of Section 6.4(b). 

Section 6.6    Commercially Reasonable Best Efforts. (a) Without in any way limiting any other respective
obligation of the Company or any Commitment Party in this Agreement, each Party shall, consistent with the PSA, use commercially reasonable best efforts to take or cause to be taken all actions, and do or cause to be done all things, reasonably
necessary, proper or advisable in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan, including using commercially reasonable best efforts in: 

(i)    timely preparing and filing all documentation reasonably necessary to effect all necessary notices,
reports and other filings of such Person and to obtain as promptly as practicable all consents, registrations, approvals, permits and authorizations necessary or advisable to be obtained from any third party or Governmental Entity; 

(ii)    defending any Legal Proceedings in any way challenging (A) this Agreement, the Plan or any other
Transaction Agreement, (B) the BCA Approval Order, PSA Approval Order, Plan Solicitation Order or Confirmation Order or (C) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including seeking to have any stay or temporary
restraining Order entered by any Governmental Entity vacated or reversed; and 
 (iii)    working
together in good faith to finalize the Reorganized Company Corporate Documents, Transaction Agreements and all other documents relating thereto for timely inclusion in the Plan and filing with the Bankruptcy Court. 

(b)    Without limitation to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, to the extent exigencies permit, the Company shall
provide or cause to be provided a draft of all motions, applications, pleadings, schedules, Orders, reports or other material papers (including all material memoranda, exhibits, supporting affidavits and evidence and other supporting documentation)
in the Chapter 11 Cases relating to or affecting the Transaction Agreements in advance of filing the same with the Bankruptcy Court. All such motions, applications, pleadings, schedules, Orders, reports and other material papers shall be in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Commitment Parties and the Company. 

  
 42 








 (c)    Nothing contained in this Section 6.6 shall
limit the ability of any Commitment Party to consult with the Debtors, to appear and be heard, or to file objections, concerning any matter arising in the Chapter 11 Cases to the extent not inconsistent with the PSA. 

Section 6.7    Registration Rights Agreement; Reorganized Company Corporate Documents; Rights Offering
Procedures. (a) The Plan will provide that from and after the Closing Date each holder of Common Equity Interests that are “control” or “restricted” securities shall be entitled to registration rights pursuant to a
registration rights agreement, which agreement shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Commitment Parties and the Company (the “Registration Rights Agreement”). A form
of the Registration Rights Agreement shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court as part of the Plan or an amendment or supplement thereto. 

(b)    The Plan will provide that on the Effective Date the Reorganized Company Corporate Documents will be approved,
adopted and effective. Forms of the Reorganized Company Corporate Documents shall be filed with the Bankruptcy Court as part of the Plan or an amendment or supplement thereto. 

(c)    The Parties will use their commercially reasonable best efforts to finalize the form of Rights Offering Procedures
and file them with the Bankruptcy Court. 
 Section 6.8    Form D and Blue
Sky. Following the Closing, the Company shall timely file a Form D with the SEC with respect to the Unsubscribed Shares issued hereunder to the extent required under Regulation D of the Securities Act and shall provide, upon
request, a copy thereof to each Commitment Party. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary in order to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Unsubscribed
Shares issued hereunder for sale to the Commitment Parties at the Closing Date pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities and “Blue Sky” Laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such
qualification) and any applicable foreign jurisdictions, and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Commitment Parties on or prior to the Closing Date. The Company shall timely make all filings and reports relating to the
offer and sale of the Unsubscribed Shares issued hereunder required under applicable securities and “Blue Sky” Laws of the states of the United States following the Closing Date. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in
connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section 6.8. 
 Section 6.9    No
Integration; No General Solicitation. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 501(b) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) will, directly or through any agent, sell, offer for sale,
solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of, any security (as defined in the Securities Act), that is or will be integrated with the sale of the Unsubscribed Shares in a manner that would require registration of the Unsubscribed
Shares to be issued by the Company on the Effective Date under the Securities Act. None of the Company or any of its affiliates or any other Person acting on its or their behalf 

  
 43 








 
will solicit offers for, or offer or sell, any Unsubscribed Shares by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of
Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act or in any manner involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. 

Section 6.10    DTC Eligibility. Unless otherwise requested by the Requisite Commitment Parties, the Company
shall use commercially reasonable best efforts to promptly make all Common Equity Interests deliverable to the Commitment Parties eligible for deposit with The Depository Trust Company. 

Section 6.11    Use of Proceeds. The Debtors will apply the proceeds from the exercise of the Subscription
Rights and the sale of the Unsubscribed Shares for the purposes identified in the Disclosure Statement and the Plan. 
 Section
6.12    Share Legend. Each certificate evidencing all Unsubscribed Shares that are issued in connection with this Agreement, shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend (the “Legend”)
in substantially the following form: 
 “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON [DATE OF ISSUANCE], HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE
ACT OR AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION THEREUNDER.” 
 In the event that any such Unsubscribed Shares are uncertificated, such Unsubscribed
Shares shall be subject to a restrictive notation substantially similar to the Legend in the stock ledger or other appropriate records maintained by the Company or agent and the term “Legend” shall include such restrictive
notation.
 For the avoidance of doubt, Class A Shares issued pursuant to the Rights Offering and shares issued in satisfaction of the
Commitment Premium shall not include the Legend. The Company shall remove the Legend (or restrictive notation, as applicable) set forth above from the certificates evidencing any such shares (or the stock ledger or other appropriate Company records,
in the case of uncertified shares) at any time after the restrictions described in such Legend cease to be applicable, including, as applicable, when such shares may be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The Company may reasonably
request such opinions, certificates or other evidence that such restrictions no longer apply as a condition to removing the Legend. 

Section 6.13    Antitrust Approval. (a) Each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable best efforts to take,
or cause to be taken, all actions and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Plan and the other Transaction Agreements, including (i) if applicable,
filing, or causing to be filed, the Notification and Report Form pursuant to the HSR Act with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice and the United States
Federal Trade Commission and any filings (or, if 

  
 44 








 
required by any Antitrust Authority, any drafts thereof) under any other Antitrust Laws that are necessary to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement as soon
as reasonably practicable and no later than fifteen (15) Business Days following the date hereof and (ii) promptly furnishing documents or information reasonably requested by any Antitrust Authority. 

(b)    The Company and each Commitment Party subject to an obligation pursuant to the Antitrust Laws to notify any
transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Plan or the other Transaction Agreements that has notified the Company in writing of such obligation (each such Commitment Party, a “Filing Party”) agree to reasonably cooperate
with each other as to the appropriate time of filing such notification and its content. The Company and each Filing Party shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law: (i) promptly notify each other of, and if in writing, furnish
each other with copies of (or, in the case of material oral communications, advise each other orally of) any communications from or with an Antitrust Authority; (ii) not participate in any meeting with an Antitrust Authority unless it consults
with each other Filing Party and the Company, as applicable, in advance and, to the extent permitted by the Antitrust Authority and applicable Law, give each other Filing Party and the Company, as applicable, a reasonable opportunity to attend and
participate thereat; (iii) furnish each other Filing Party and the Company, as applicable, with copies of all correspondence and communications between such Filing Party or the Company and the Antitrust Authority; (iv) furnish each other

filing, if any, under the HSR Act without the prior written consent of the Requisite Commitment Parties and the Company. 

(c)    Should a Filing Party be subject to an obligation under the Antitrust Laws to jointly notify with one or more other
Filing Parties (each, a “Joint Filing Party”) any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, the Plan or the other Transaction Agreements, such Joint Filing Party shall promptly notify each other Joint Filing Party of, and
if in writing, furnish each other Joint Filing Party with copies of (or, in the case of material oral communications, advise each other Joint Filing Party orally of) any communications from or with an Antitrust Authority. 

(d)    The Company and each Filing Party shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain all
authorizations, approvals, consents, or clearances under any applicable Antitrust Laws or to cause the termination or expiration of all applicable waiting periods under any Antitrust Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement at the earliest possible date after the date of filing. The communications contemplated by this Section 6.13 may be made by the Company or a Filing Party on an outside counsel-only basis or subject to other
agreed upon confidentiality safeguards. The obligations in this Section 6.13 shall not apply to filings, correspondence, communications or meetings with Antitrust Authorities unrelated to the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, the Plan or the other Transaction Agreements. 

  
 45 








 Section 6.14    Alternative Transactions. Except as expressly
provided by the PSA, the Company and the other Debtors shall not seek, solicit, or support any Alternative Transaction; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.14 shall limit the Parties’ ability to engage in
marketing efforts, discussions, and/or negotiations with any party regarding refinancing of the Exit Facility to be consummated following the Effective Date; provided, further, that (i) if any of the Debtors receive a proposal or
expression of interest regarding any Alternative Transaction from the Effective Date until the occurrence of a Termination Date, the Debtors shall promptly notify counsel to the Commitment Parties of any such proposal or expression of interest, with
such notice to include the material terms thereof, including (unless prohibited by a separate agreement) the identity of the person or group of persons involved, and (ii) the Debtors shall promptly furnish counsel to the Commitment Parties with
copies of any written offer, oral offer, or any other information that they receive relating to the foregoing and shall promptly inform counsel to the Commitment Parties of any material changes to such proposals. The Debtors shall not enter
into any confidentiality agreement with a party interested in an Alternative Transaction unless such party consents to identifying and providing to counsel to the Commitment Parties (under a reasonably acceptable confidentiality agreement) the
information contemplated under the proviso to the final paragraph of Section 6 of the PSA.

ARTICLE VIII 
 INDEMNIFICATION
AND CONTRIBUTION 
 Section 8.1    Indemnification Obligations. Following the entry of the BCA Approval
Order, the Company and the other Debtors (the “Indemnifying Parties” and each, an “Indemnifying Party”) shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Commitment Party and its
Affiliates, equity holders, members, partners, general partners, managers and its and their respective Representatives and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims,
damages, liabilities and costs and expenses (other than Taxes of the Commitment Parties except to the extent otherwise provided for in this Agreement) (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Indemnified Person may incur or to
which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Backstop Commitment, the Rights Offering, the payment of the Commitment Premium or the
Termination Fee or the use of the proceeds of the Rights Offering, or any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not
such proceedings are brought by the Company, the other Debtors, their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Person, and reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for reasonable documented out-of-pocket (with such
documentation subject to redaction only to preserve attorney client and work product privileges) legal or other third-party expenses actually incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or
preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth herein),
irrespective of whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Plan are consummated or whether or not this Agreement is terminated; provided, that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to
Losses (a) as to a Defaulting Commitment Party, its Related Parties or any Indemnified Person related thereto, related to a Commitment Party Default by such Commitment Party, or (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person. 

  
 50 








 Section 8.2    Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt
by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the
Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party promptly in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that (a) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any
liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (b) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to
such Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article VIII. In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof,
the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, at its election by providing written notice to such Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to
such Indemnified Person; provided, that if the parties (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person’s
counsel there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal
defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof or participation therein (other than
reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs of investigation) unless (i) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the
proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties to such Indemnified
Claims (in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel is required)), (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified
Person within a reasonable time after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of commencement of the Indemnified Claims from, or delivered on behalf of, the Indemnified Person, (iii) after the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the
Indemnified Claims, the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend such claim and provides written notice of such determination and the basis for such determination, and such failure is
not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such notice by the Indemnifying Party, or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified
Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have sole control over any Tax controversy or Tax audit and shall be permitted to settle any liability for Taxes of the Company and its
Subsidiaries. 
 Section 8.3    Settlement of Indemnified Claims. In connection with any Indemnified Claim
for which an Indemnified Person is assuming the defense in accordance with this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected by such Indemnified Person without the written
consent of the Indemnifying 

  
 51 








 
Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If any settlement of any Indemnified Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying
Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Indemnified Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment
to the extent such Losses are otherwise subject to indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, this Article VIII. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without
the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall be granted or withheld, conditioned or delayed in the Indemnified Person’s sole discretion), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in
respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified
Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified Claims and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any
Indemnified Person. 
 Section 8.4    Contribution. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is
unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless from Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, but also the
relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Party, on the one
hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company pursuant to the issuance and sale of the Class A Shares in the Rights
Offering contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan bears to (b) the Commitment Premium paid or proposed to be paid to the Commitment Parties. Subject to Section 9.6, the Indemnifying Parties also agree that no Indemnified Person
shall have any liability based on their comparative or contributory negligence to the Indemnifying Parties in connection with an Indemnified Claim.

Section 8.5    Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by an Indemnifying Party to an
Indemnified Person under this Article VIII shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price solely for Tax purposes. The provisions of this Article VIII are an
integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Commitment Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. The BCA Approval Order shall provide that the obligations of the Company under this
Article VIII shall constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estate under sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code and are payable without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court, and that the Company may
comply with the requirements of this Article VIII without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court. 
 Section
8.6    No Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing Date except for covenants and agreements that by their express terms are to be
satisfied after the Closing Date, which covenants and agreements shall survive until satisfied in accordance with their terms.

 Section 9.5    Termination by any Commitment Party. (a) This
Agreement may be terminated by any Commitment Party, as to itself only, upon written notice to the Company if the Closing Date has not occurred by the Final Outside Date. 

(b)    Upon the occurrence of any termination by a Commitment Party (the “Withdrawing Commitment
Party”) pursuant to Section 9.5(a), the remaining Commitment Parties and their respective Affiliated Funds (other than any Withdrawing Commitment Party) shall have the right, but not the obligation, within the five (5) Business
Days after receipt of written notice from the Company Party Withdrawal (such five (5) Business Day period, the “Commitment Party Withdrawal Replacement Period”), to make arrangements for one or more of the Commitment Parties
(other than the Withdrawing Commitment Party) to purchase the Withdrawing Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage in amounts as may be agreed upon by all Commitment Parties electing to purchase such Backstop Commitment Percentage, or,
if no such agreement is reached, based upon the relative applicable Backstop Commitment Percentages of any such Commitment Parties (such Commitment Parties, the “Withdrawal Replacing Commitment Parties”). Any such
Backstop Commitment Percentage purchased by a Withdrawal Replacing Commitment Party shall be included, among other things, in the determination of (x) the Unsubscribed Shares to be purchased by such Withdrawal Replacing Commitment Party for all
purposes hereunder, (y) the Backstop Commitment Percentage of such Withdrawal Replacing Commitment Party for all purposes hereunder and (z) the Backstop Commitment of such Withdrawal Replacing Commitment Party for purposes of the definition of

Section 9.6    Effect of Termination. (a) Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this
Article IX, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and of no force or effect and there shall be no further obligations or liabilities on the part of the Parties; provided, that (i) subject to Section
2.3(c), the obligations of the Debtors to pay the Expense Reimbursement pursuant to Article III, to satisfy their indemnification obligations pursuant to Article VIII and to pay the Termination
Fee pursuant to Section 9.6(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect, in each case, until such obligations have been satisfied, (ii) the provisions set forth in Section 6.4(b),
this Section 9.6 and Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms and (iii) subject to Section 10.10, nothing in this
Section 9.6 shall relieve any Party from liability for its gross negligence, willful misconduct or any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, “willful or intentional
breach” means a breach of this Agreement that is a consequence of an act undertaken by the breaching party with the knowledge that the taking of such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a breach of this Agreement. 

(b)    If this Agreement shall be terminated for any reason other than by the Company under
Section 9.3(a), (c) (only in the case such Consenting Noteholder is also a Commitment Party hereunder) or (d), then the Debtors shall, promptly after the date of such termination, pay the Termination Fee
entirely in cash to the Commitment Parties or their 

  
 56 








 
designees in accordance with Section 3.2. To the extent that all amounts due in respect of the Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 9.6(b) have actually been paid by the
Debtors to the Commitment Parties in connection with a termination of this Agreement, the Commitment Parties shall not have any additional recourse against the Debtors for any obligations or liabilities relating to or arising from this Agreement,
except for, subject to Section 10.10, liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct or any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.6(a). Except as expressly set forth in this Section 9.6(b), the Termination
Fee shall not be payable upon the termination of this Agreement. The Termination Fee shall, pursuant to the BCA Approval Order, constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estate under sections 503(b) and 507 of the
Bankruptcy Code.

Commitment Parties under this Agreement unless such alteration, amendment or modification has been made in accordance with Section 10.7.

THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD FOR ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD APPLY THE LAWS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION, AND (B) TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. THE PARTIES CONSENT AND AGREE THAT ANY ACTION TO
ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SUCH DISPUTES ARISE IN LAW OR EQUITY, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENTS, INSTRUMENTS AND DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE BANKRUPTCY COURT
(OR, SOLELY TO THE EXTENT THE BANKRUPTCY COURT DECLINES JURISDICTION OVER SUCH ACTION OR DISPUTE, IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK CITY). THE PARTIES
CONSENT TO AND AGREE TO SUBMIT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION 

  
 58 








 
OF THE BANKRUPTCY COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN ANY SUCH DISPUTE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY CLAIM THAT (I) SUCH PARTY

THE BANKRUPTCY COURT IS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT MAILING OF PROCESS OR OTHER PAPERS IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO AN ADDRESS PROVIDED IN WRITING BY THE RECIPIENT OF SUCH MAILING, OR
IN SUCH OTHER MANNER AS MAY BE PERMITTED BY LAW, SHALL BE VALID AND SUFFICIENT SERVICE THEREOF AND HEREBY WAIVE ANY OBJECTIONS TO SERVICE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE MANNER HEREIN PROVIDED. 

Section 10.5    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY JURISDICTION

be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to each other Party (including via facsimile or other electronic transmission), it being understood that each
Party need not sign the same counterpart. Any facsimile or electronic signature shall be treated in all respects as having the same effect as having an original signature. 

Section 10.7    Waivers and Amendments; Rights Cumulative; Consent. This Agreement may be amended, restated,
modified or changed only by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Requisite Commitment Parties; provided, that (a) any Commitment Party’s prior written consent shall be required for any amendment that would, directly or

on such Commitment Party and (b) the prior written consent of each Commitment Party shall be required for any amendment that would, directly or indirectly modify a Significant Term. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Schedule 2 shall be revised as necessary without requiring a written instrument signed by the Company and the Requisite Commitment Parties to reflect conforming changes in the composition of the Backstop Parties and
Backstop Commitment Percentages as a result of Transfers permitted and consummated in compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than the conditions set forth in
Sections 7.1 and 7.3, the waiver of which shall be governed solely by Article VII, the waiver of which shall be governed by their respective terms) may be waived (A) by the Debtors only by a written
instrument executed by the Company and (B) by the Requisite Commitment Parties only by a written instrument executed by the Requisite Commitment Parties. No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege
pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any Party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant
to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement.

under this Agreement, at law or in equity. 
 Section 10.10    Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, none of the Parties will be liable for, and none of the Parties shall claim or seek to recover, any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages or damages for lost profits in connection with the breach or

 Section 10.11    No Reliance. No Commitment Party or any of its Related
Parties shall have any duties or obligations to the other Commitment Parties in respect of this Agreement, the Plan or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of

 Section 10.13    Settlement Discussions. This Agreement and the
transactions contemplated herein are part of a proposed settlement of a dispute between the Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Section 408 of the U.S. Federal Rule of Evidence and any
applicable state rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any Legal Proceeding, except to the extent filed with, or disclosed to, the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the
Chapter 11 Cases (other than a Legal Proceeding to approve or enforce the terms of this Agreement). The Parties agree that any valuations of the Company’s or other Debtor’s assets or estates, whether implied or otherwise, arising from
this Agreement shall not be binding for any other purpose, including determining recoveries under the Plan, and that this Agreement does not limit the Parties’ rights regarding valuation in the Chapter 11 Cases. 

Section 10.14    No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and
notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Parties may be partnerships or limited liability companies, each Party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with
this Agreement shall be had against any Party’s Affiliates or any of the respective Related Parties of such Party or of the Affiliates of such Party (in each case other than the Parties to this Agreement and each of their respective successors
and permitted assignees under this Agreement), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever
shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of such Related Parties, as such, for any obligation or liability of any Party under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith for any claim based
on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; provided, however, nothing in this Section 10.14 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party hereto or any of their respective
successors or permitted assigns for any breach or violation of its obligations under this Agreement or such other documents or instruments. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Parties will have any recourse, be entitled to commence any
proceeding or make any claim under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby except against any of the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns, as applicable. 

Section 10.15.    Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this
Agreement is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein will not be in any way
impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
