 Schedule II 

DIP Carve Out 

(a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Final Order, the Debtors’ obligations to the DIP Secured Parties and
[Prepetition Secured Parties] and the liens, security interests, and superpriority claims granted herein, under the DIP Loan Documents, and/or under the Prepetition Loan Documents, including the DIP Liens, the DIP Superpriority Claims, the Adequate
Protection Liens, the Adequate Protection Claims, and the Prepetition Liens, shall be subject in all respects and subordinate to the Carve Out. 

(b)    As used in this Order, the “Carve Out” means the sum of (i) all fees required to be paid to the Clerk of the Court
and to the Office of the United States Trustee under section 1930(a) of title 28 of the United States Code plus interest at the statutory rate (without regard to the notice set forth in (iii) below); (ii) all reasonable fees and expenses up to
$25,000 incurred by a trustee under section 726(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (without regard to the notice set forth in (iii) below); (iii) to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order, procedural order, or otherwise, all unpaid
fees and expenses (including any restructuring, sale, success, or other transaction fee of any investment bankers or financial advisors of the Debtors or any Official Committee) (the “Allowed Professional Fees”) incurred by persons or
firms retained by the Debtors pursuant to section 327, 328, or 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Debtor Professionals”) and the Creditors’ Committee pursuant to section 328 or 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Committee
Professionals” and, together with the Debtor Professionals, the “Professional Persons”) at any time before or on the first business day following delivery by the DIP Agent of a Carve Out Trigger Notice (as defined below), whether
allowed by the Court prior to or after delivery of a Carve Out Trigger Notice; and (iv) Allowed Professional Fees of Professional Persons in an aggregate amount 

  
 27 













 
not to exceed $4,000,000 incurred after the first business day following delivery by the DIP Agent of the Carve Out Trigger Notice, to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order,
procedural order, or otherwise (the amounts set forth in this clause (iv) being the “Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap”). For purposes of the foregoing, “Carve Out Trigger Notice” shall mean a written notice delivered by
email (or other electronic means) by the DIP Agent to the Debtors, their lead restructuring counsel, the U.S. Trustee, and counsel to the Creditors’ Committee, which notice may be delivered following the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default and acceleration of the DIP Obligations under the DIP Facility, stating that the Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap has been invoked. 

(c)    Carve Out Reserves. The Debtors shall establish and fund a segregated account (the “Funded Reserve Account”) for purposes
of funding the Carve Out. The Funded Reserve Account will be funded first from the [DIP Proceeds Account], then from the DIP Priority Collateral. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Order, the DIP Documents, or the Prepetition Loan
Documents, (i) in no circumstances (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes, but is not limited to, an Event of Default or a termination of the DIP Credit Agreement or DIP Loan Documents) shall the Debtors be prohibited in any way from
accessing or drawing upon the [DIP Proceeds Account] for the purpose of funding the Funded Reserve Account, and (ii) the [DIP Proceeds Account] shall not be ABL Priority Collateral or Prepetition ABL Collateral. Upon entry of this Order, the
Debtors will deposit into the Funded Reserve Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Allowed Professional Fees projected to accrue from entry of this Order through June 30, 2020 (the “Initial Funded Reserve Amount”), which,
for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include the Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap. Commencing July 1, 2020 (or the first business day thereafter), on the first business day of each month, the Debtors shall deposit in the


  
 28 













 
Funded Reserve Account an amount equal to the aggregate amount of Allowed Professional Fees (excluding restructuring, sale, financing, or other success fees) projected to accrue for the following
month in the Budget plus twenty percent of such aggregate amount of Allowed Professional Fees in the following month in the Budget (the “Monthly Funded Reserve Amount”). Each Professional Person may deliver to the Debtors a good-faith
estimate of the cumulative total amount of unreimbursed fees and expenses incurred in the preceding month (each such statement, a “Fee Statement”), and to the extent the amount of Allowed Professional Fees accrued and claimed in a Fee
Statement exceeds the Initial Funded Reserve Amount or the Monthly Funded Reserve Amount for the applicable period or month, respectively, and such fees and expenses have otherwise not been paid by the Debtors, the Debtors shall, within one business
day, fund additional amounts into the Funded Reserve Account equal to the difference between, as applicable, the Initial Funded Reserve Amount or the Monthly Funded Reserve Amount and the amount accrued and claimed in the applicable Fee Statement
(each, a “Top Off Amount”). At any time, if the Debtors in good faith believe a restructuring, sale, financing, or other success fee has been earned by a Professional Person and is then due and payable, the Debtors shall deposit in the
Funded Reserve Account an amount equal to such fee. Upon entry of the Order, the Debtors shall deposit into the Funded Reserve Account an amount equal to (i) the Post Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap plus (ii) the amounts contemplated under
(b)(i) and (ii) above. The Funded Reserve Account shall be maintained, and the funds therein (the “Funded Reserve Amount”) shall be held in trust for the benefit of Professional Persons. Any and all amounts in the Funded Reserve
Account shall not be subject to any cash sweep and/or foreclosure provisions in the Prepetition Loan Documents or DIP Loan Documents and neither the [Prepetition Secured Parties] nor the DIP Secured Parties shall be entitled to sweep or foreclose on
such amounts notwithstanding any provision to the contrary 

  
 29 













 
in the [Prepetition Loan Documents] or DIP Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any and all payments to Professional Persons allowed by the Court (excluding restructuring, sale,
financing, or other success fees) shall be paid first from the Funded Reserve Account. 
 (d)    On the day on which a Carve Out Trigger
Notice is given by the DIP Agent to the Debtors in accordance with paragraph [[    ](b)] above, with a copy to counsel to the Creditors’ Committee (the “Termination Declaration Date”), the Carve Out Trigger Notice
shall constitute a demand to the Debtors to utilize all cash on hand as of such date and any available cash thereafter held by any Debtor, including cash in the DIP Proceeds Account, to fund a reserve in an amount equal to the then unpaid amounts of
the Allowed Professional Fees in excess of the Funded Reserve Amount; provided that in the event that a Termination Declaration Date occurs, Professional Persons shall have two business days to deliver additional Fee Statements to the Debtors, and
the Debtors shall fund into the Funded Reserve Amount and Top Off Amounts. The Debtors shall deposit and hold such amounts in the Funded Reserve Account in trust to pay such then unpaid Allowed Professional Fees (the
“Pre-Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve”) prior to any and all other claims. On the Termination Declaration Date, the Carve Out Trigger Notice shall also constitute a demand to the Debtors to utilize
all cash on hand as of such date and any available cash thereafter held by any Debtor, including cash in the DIP Proceeds Account, after funding the Pre-Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve, to fund a reserve in
an amount equal to the Post Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap to the extent not already funded (including upon entry of the Order as set forth above). The Debtors shall deposit and hold such amounts in a segregated account at an institution designated by
the DIP Agent in trust to pay such Allowed Professional Fees benefiting from the Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap (the “Post Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve” and, together with the Pre-Carve Out
Trigger Notice Reserve, the “Carve Out Reserves”) prior to any and all other claims. All 

  
 30 













 
funds in the Pre-Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve shall be used first to pay the obligations set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of the definition
of Carve Out set forth above (the “Pre-Carve Out Amounts”), but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap, until paid in full, and then, to the extent the Pre Carve Out
Trigger Notice Reserve has not been reduced to zero, to pay the DIP Agent for the benefit of the DIP Lenders, unless the DIP Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, in cash (or other form of payment pursuant to an Acceptable Plan), and all
Commitments have been terminated, in which case any such excess shall be paid to the [Prepetition Secured Parties] in accordance with their rights and priorities as set forth herein. All funds in the Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve shall be
used first to pay the obligations set forth in clause (iv) of the definition of Carve Out set forth above (the “Post-Carve Out Amounts”), and then, to the extent the Post Carve Out Trigger Notice Reserve has not been reduced to zero,
to pay the DIP Agent for the benefit of the DIP Lenders, unless the DIP Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, in cash (or other form of payment pursuant to an Acceptable Plan), and all Commitments have been terminated, in which case any
such excess shall be paid to the [Prepetition Secured Parties] in accordance with their rights and priorities as set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the DIP Loan Documents, or this Order, if either of the Carve Out Reserves
is not funded in full in the amounts set forth in this paragraph [    ], then, any excess funds in one of the Carve Out Reserves following the payment of the Pre-Carve Out Amounts and
Post-Carve Out Amounts, respectively, shall be used to fund the other Carve Out Reserve, up to the applicable amount set forth in this paragraph [    ], prior to making any payments to the DIP Agent or the [Prepetition Secured
Parties], as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the DIP Loan Documents or this Order, following delivery of a Carve Out Trigger Notice, the DIP Agent and the [Prepetition Agents] shall not sweep or foreclose on cash (including


  
 31 













 
cash received as a result of the sale or other disposition of any assets) of the Debtors until the Carve Out Reserves have been fully funded, but shall have a security interest in any residual
interest in the Carve Out Reserves, with any excess paid to the DIP Agent for application in accordance with the DIP Loan Documents. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Order, (i) disbursements by the Debtors from the
Carve Out Reserves shall not constitute DIP Loans or increase or reduce the DIP Obligations, (ii) the failure of the Carve Out Reserves to satisfy in full the Allowed Professional Fees shall not affect the priority of the Carve Out, and
(iii) in no way shall the Initial Budget, Budget, Carve Out, Post-Carve Out Trigger Notice Cap, Carve Out Reserves, or any of the foregoing be construed as a cap or limitation on the amount of the Allowed Professional Fees due and payable by
the Debtors. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Order, the DIP Loan Documents, or in any Prepetition Loan Documents, the Carve Out shall be senior to all liens and claims securing the DIP Facility, the
Adequate Protection Liens, the Prepetition Liens, and the DIP Superpriority Claims, and any and all other forms of adequate protection, liens, or claims securing the DIP Obligations or the Prepetition Secured Obligations. 

(e)    Payment of Allowed Professional Fees Prior to the Termination Declaration Date. Any payment or reimbursement made prior to the
occurrence of the Termination Declaration Date in respect of any Allowed Professional Fees shall not reduce the Carve Out and shall be funded first from the Funded Reserve Account. 

(f)    No Direct Obligation To Pay Allowed Professional Fees. None of the DIP Agent, DIP Lenders, or the [Prepetition Secured Parties]
shall be responsible for the payment or reimbursement of any fees or disbursements of any Professional Person incurred in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases or any successor cases under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code.


  
 32 













 
Nothing in this Order or otherwise shall be construed to obligate the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, or the [Prepetition Secured Parties], in any way, to pay compensation to, or to reimburse
expenses of, any Professional Person or to guarantee that the Debtors have sufficient funds to pay such compensation or reimbursement. 

(g)    Payment of Carve Out On or After the Termination Declaration Date. Any payment or reimbursement made on or after the occurrence of
the Termination Declaration Date in respect of any Allowed Professional Fees shall permanently reduce the Carve Out on a dollar for-dollar basis.
