	(d)	 subject to the terms hereof, any right of a Supporting Noteholder under (i) the Secured Notes Indenture,
the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture or the Convertible Notes Indenture, as applicable, or constitute a waiver or amendment of any provision of the Secured Notes Indenture, the 6.25% Senior Notes Indenture or the Convertible Notes Indenture or
(ii) any other applicable agreement, instrument or document that gives rise to a Supporting Noteholder’s Claims or Interests, as applicable, or constitute a waiver or amendment of any provision of any such agreement, instrument or
document; 


  

	(e)	 the ability of a Supporting Noteholder to consult with other Supporting Noteholders or the Company; or



  

	(f)	 the ability of a Supporting Noteholder to enforce any right, remedy, condition, consent or approval requirement
under this Agreement or any of the Restructuring Documents. 


 3.03. Transfer of Claims and Interests. During the
Effective Period, no Supporting Noteholder shall sell, contract to sell, give, assign, participate, hypothecate, pledge, encumber, grant a security interest in, offer, sell any option or contract to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any
economic, voting or other rights in or to, by operation of law or otherwise (each, a “Transfer”) any of its Claims or Interests (including any Post-RSA Effective Time Claims or
Interests (as defined below)), or any right or interest (voting or otherwise) therein (including granting any proxies, depositing any Claims or Interests into a voting trust or entering into a voting agreement with respect to any Claims or
Interests); provided, however, that any Supporting Noteholder may Transfer any of its Claims or Interests (including any Post-RSA Effective Time Claims or Interests) to any person or entity (so
long as such Transfer is not otherwise prohibited by any order of the Bankruptcy Court) that (a) agrees in writing, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Transferee Joinder”), to be
bound by the terms of this Agreement (each such transferee, a “Transferee”) or (b) is a Supporting Noteholder, provided that, upon any purchase, acquisition or assumption by any Supporting Noteholder of any Claims
or Interests, such Claims or Interests shall automatically be deemed to be subject to the terms of this Agreement. Subject to the terms and conditions of any order of the Bankruptcy Court, the transferring Supporting Noteholder shall provide the
Company and its counsel, counsel for the Secured Notes Ad Hoc Group and counsel for the Unsecured Notes Ad Hoc Group with a copy of any Transferee Joinder executed by such Transferee within three business days following such execution in which event
(y) the Transferee shall be deemed to be a Supporting Noteholder hereunder with respect to all of its owned or controlled Claims and Interests and rights or interests (voting or otherwise, including without limitation any subscription rights
associated therewith) and (z) the transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations) under this Agreement solely to the extent of such transferred Claims or Interests. With respect to Claims or Interests
held by the relevant Transferee upon consummation of a Transfer, such Transferee is deemed to make all of the representations and warranties of a Supporting Noteholder set forth in this Agreement. Any Transfer of any Supporting Noteholder’s
Claim that does not comply with the foregoing shall be deemed void ab initio and the Company and each other Supporting Noteholder shall have the right to enforce the voiding of such Transfer.

 3.04. Qualified Marketmaker Transfers. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
(a) a Supporting Noteholder may Transfer any right, title, or interest in its Claims to an entity that is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker (as defined below) without the requirement that the Qualified Marketmaker be or become a
Supporting Noteholder only if such Qualified Marketmaker has purchased such Claims with a view to immediate resale of such Claims (by purchase, sale, assignment, transfer, participation or otherwise) as soon as reasonably practicable, and in no
event later than the earlier of (i) one business day prior to any voting deadline with respect to the Plan (solely if such Qualified Marketmaker acquires such Claims prior to such voting deadline) and (ii) twenty business days of its
acquisition to a Transferee that is or becomes a Supporting Noteholder (by executing a Transferee Joinder in accordance with Section 3.03); and (b) to the extent that a Supporting Noteholder is acting in its capacity as a Qualified
Marketmaker, it may Transfer or participate any right, title, or interest in any Claims that such Qualified Marketmaker acquires from a holder of such Claims who is not a Supporting Noteholder without the requirement that the transferee be or become
a Supporting Noteholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (y) if at the time of a proposed Transfer of any Claim to the Qualified Marketmaker in accordance with the foregoing, the date of such proposed Transfer is on or before the voting deadline
with respect to the Plan, the proposed transferor Supporting Noteholder shall first vote such Claim in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.01(c) hereof prior to any Transfer or (z) if, after a transfer in accordance with this
Section 3.04, a Qualified Marketmaker is holding a Claim on the voting deadline with respect to the Plan, such Qualified Marketmaker shall vote such Claim in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.01(c) hereof. For these purposes, a
“Qualified Marketmaker” means an entity that: (A) holds itself out to the market as standing ready in the ordinary course of its business to purchase from customers and sell to customers claims against the Company and
its affiliates (including debt securities or other debt) or enter into with customers long and short positions in claims against the Company and its affiliates (including debt securities or other debt), in its capacity as a dealer or marketmaker in
such claims against the Company and its affiliates; and (B) is in fact regularly in the business of making a market in claims against issuers or borrowers (including debt securities or other debt). A Qualified Marketmaker acting in such
capacity may purchase, sell, assign, transfer or participate any Claims other than Claims held by a Supporting Noteholder without any requirement that the transferee be or become subject to this Agreement. 

3.05. Additional Claims and Interests. Nothing herein shall be construed to restrict a right to acquire Claims or Interests after the RSA
Effective Time (defined below). To the extent any Supporting Noteholder acquires any Claims or Interests after the RSA Effective Time (such Claims or Interests, the “Post-RSA Effective Time Claims
or Interests”), each such Supporting Noteholder agrees that such acquired Post-RSA Effective Time Claims or Interests shall be automatically subject to this Agreement and that such Supporting
Noteholder shall be bound by and subject to this Agreement with respect to such acquired Post-RSA Effective Time Claims or Interests. A Supporting Noteholder may sell or assign any Post-RSA Effective Time Claims or Interests, subject to Section 3.03, and provided that any Post-RSA Effective Time Claims or Interests that are sold or assigned shall
remain subject to this Agreement. 
 3.06. Additional Parties. Any Secured Noteholder or Unsecured Noteholder may, at any time after the RSA
Effective Time, become a party to this Agreement as a Supporting Noteholder (an “Additional Party”) by executing a joinder agreement substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C hereto (an
“Additional Party Joinder”), pursuant to which such Additional Party shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement as a Supporting Noteholder hereunder.

is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Restructuring, (iii) receipt of any material notice, including from any governmental unit with jurisdiction, of any proceeding commenced, or,

Company to the Supporting Secured Noteholders and Supporting Unsecured Noteholders; provided that a ruling by the Bankruptcy Court that the Plan is not confirmable as a result of terms

 Section 7. Miscellaneous. 

7.01. Agreement Effective Time. This Agreement shall become effective and binding upon each of the Parties as of the date (the “RSA
Effective Time”) when counterpart signatures pages to this Agreement are executed and delivered by (a) the Company, (b) Secured Noteholders holding in the aggregate more than 67% in principal amount of the outstanding Secured
Notes and (c) Unsecured Noteholders holding in the aggregate more than 67% in principal amount of the outstanding Unsecured Notes.

Solicitation. This Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be a solicitation for votes for the acceptance of the Plan (or any other chapter 11 plan) for the purposes of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise or a
solicitation to tender or exchange any securities. The acceptance of the Plan by the Supporting Noteholders and any other party entitled to vote thereon will not be solicited until the Bankruptcy Court enters an order approving the Disclosure
Statement and Solicitation Materials. 
 7.03. Company Fiduciary Duties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
(a) nothing in this Agreement shall require the Company or any directors, officers, managers or members of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, in such person’s capacity as a director, officer, manager or member of the Company or such
subsidiary, to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, that would breach or be inconsistent with its or their fiduciary obligations under applicable law, and (b) to the extent that such fiduciary obligations, in the sole judgment
of the Company, require the Company or any directors, officers or members of the Company to take any such action, or refrain from taking any such action, they may do so without incurring any liability to any Party under this Agreement;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.03 shall be deemed to amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or constitute a waiver of, any Supporting Noteholder Termination Event that may arise as a result of any such action or
omission. 
 7.04. Purpose of Agreement. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is being executed in connection with
negotiations concerning the Restructuring. 
 7.05. Complete Agreement. This Agreement, including all exhibits hereto, is the entire agreement between
the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior agreements and all other prior negotiations between and among the Company and the Supporting Noteholders (and their respective advisors), oral or written, between the
Parties with respect thereto, to the maximum extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof; provided that the Parties acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements (if any) heretofore executed between the Company and any
Supporting Noteholder shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with and only to the extent of their respective terms. No claim of waiver, modification, consent or acquiescence with respect to any provision of this Agreement shall be
made against any Party, except on the basis of a written instrument executed by or on behalf of such Party. 
 7.06. Admissibility of this Agreement.
Each Party agrees that this Agreement, the Restructuring Term Sheet and all documents, agreements and negotiations relating thereto (including any prior drafts of any of the foregoing) shall not, pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of
Evidence, any applicable state rules of evidence and any other applicable law, foreign or domestic, be admissible into evidence or constitute an admission or agreement in any proceeding involving a Party; provided, however, that the
final execution versions of this Agreement and the Exhibits thereto may be admissible into evidence or constitute an admission or agreement in any proceeding to assume this Agreement, enforce the terms of this Agreement and/or support the
solicitation, confirmation and consummation of the Restructuring. 

  
 21 












 7.07. Representation by Counsel. Each Party acknowledges that it has been represented by counsel (or
had the opportunity to be so represented and waived its right to do so) in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Party with a
defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived. This Agreement is the product of arm’s length negotiations among the Parties and
its provisions shall be interpreted in a neutral manner and one intended to effect the intent of the Parties. None of the Parties shall have any term or provision construed against such Party solely by reason of such Party having drafted the same.

 7.08. Independent Due Diligence and Decision-Making. Each Party confirms that its decision to execute this Agreement has been based upon its
independent investigation of the operations, businesses, financial and other conditions and prospects of the Company. 
 7.09. Several, Not Joint
Obligations. The agreements, representations, and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint, including among the various Supporting Noteholders. No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing
confidences among or between the Parties shall in any way affect or negate this Agreement. 
 7.10. Parties, Succession and Assignment. This Agreement
shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, estates, administrators and representatives. No rights or obligations of any Party under this Agreement may be assigned or
transferred to any other person or entity except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any person or entity, other than the Parties (and those permitted assigns under Section 3.03),
any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement. 
 7.11. No Waiver of Participation and Reservation of Rights.
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the Plan, nothing herein is intended to, nor does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict any right of any Party or the ability of each of the Parties to protect and preserve its rights,
remedies and interests, including without limitation, Claims against and interests in the Company. If the Restructuring is not consummated, or following the occurrence of a Supporting Noteholder Termination Event, a Company Termination Event or the
termination of this Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of any or all of such Party’s rights, and the Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights. 

7.12. No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and
their respective successors and permitted assigns, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. 
 7.13. Specific Performance. Each
Party hereto recognizes and acknowledges that a breach by it of any covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement would cause the other Parties to sustain damages for which such Parties would not have an adequate remedy at law for money
damages, and therefore each Party agrees that in the sole event of any breach, the other Parties shall be entitled to seek the remedy of specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (including attorney’s fees and costs) to
enforce such covenants and agreements, in addition to any other remedy to which such nonbreaching Party may be entitled, at law or in equity, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, including an order of the
Bankruptcy Court requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder. Each Party further agrees that no other Party or any other person shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in
connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 7.13, and each Party (a) irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument
and (b) shall cooperate fully in any attempt by the other Party to obtain such equitable relief. 

  
 22 












 7.14. Remedies Cumulative. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this
Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other
such right, power, or remedy by such Party. 
 7.15. Transaction Expenses. Unless otherwise paid during the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to the Final
Cash Collateral Order or the DIP Order, the Company hereby agrees to pay promptly upon entry of the Approval Order or the DIP Order, on a monthly basis or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the relevant engagement letters and work fee
letters, in full, in cash, all accrued and unpaid Transaction Expenses incurred in accordance with the applicable fee letter or engagement letter, so long as this Agreement has not been terminated as to the applicable Party on behalf of which such
Transaction Expenses were incurred. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no obligation hereunder to pay any Transaction Expenses or other amounts accruing post-termination, subject to Section 10. 

7.16. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts, each of which, when executed and delivered, shall be
deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute the same agreement. Delivery of an executed copy of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a certification by each person executing this Agreement on behalf of a Party that such person and
Party has been duly authorized and empowered to execute and deliver this Agreement and each other Party may rely on such certification. Delivery of any executed signature page of this Agreement by telecopier, facsimile or electronic mail shall be as
effective as delivery of a manually executed signature page of this Agreement. 
 7.17. Amendments and Waivers. 

 

	(a)	 Any amendment or modification of any term or provision of this Agreement (including the Restructuring Term
Sheet and any other exhibits attached hereto or thereto) or the Restructuring and any waiver of any term or provision of this Agreement or of the Restructuring or of any default, misrepresentation, or breach of warranty or covenant hereunder shall
not be valid unless the same shall be (i) in writing and signed by the Company, the Required Backstop Parties, the Required Supporting Secured Noteholders and the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders or (ii) confirmed by email by each

 23 













	(d)	 The failure of any Party to exercise any right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise
available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon compliance by any other Party with its obligations hereunder shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power or remedy or to
demand such compliance. 


  

	(e)	 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.17, no amendment, modification or waiver of any
term or provision of this Agreement or the Restructuring shall be effective with respect to any Supporting Noteholder without such Supporting Noteholder’s prior written consent to the extent such amendment, modification or waiver materially
affects such Supporting Noteholder (in its capacity as a Secured Noteholder or Unsecured Noteholders) in a manner that is disproportionately adverse to such Supporting Noteholder in relation to the other Supporting Noteholders in the applicable
Supporting Class.

 Exhibit A 

Restructuring Term Sheet 











 THIS TERM SHEET IS NOT AN OFFER WITH RESPECT TO ANY SECURITIES NOR A SOLICITATION OF ACCEPTANCES OF A
CHAPTER 11 PLAN WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 1125 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. ANY SUCH OFFER OR SOLICITATION WILL COMPLY WITH ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS AND/OR PROVISIONS OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE. NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS TERM SHEET SHALL BE AN
ADMISSION OF FACT OR LIABILITY OR, UNTIL THE OCCURRENCE OF THE RSA EFFECTIVE TIME IN THE NEW RESTRUCTURING SUPPORT AGREEMENT DESCRIBED HEREIN, DEEMED BINDING ON ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO. NOTHING HEREIN CONSTITUTES AN AGREEMENT, UNDERSTANDING OR
COMMITMENT TO EFFECTUATE OR IMPLEMENT A RESTRUCTURING ON THE TERMS DESCRIBED HEREIN OR ON ANY OTHER TERMS. 

AMENDED RESTRUCTURING TERM SHEET 

INTRODUCTION 
 This amended term sheet
(together with all exhibits, schedules and attachments hereto, this “Term Sheet”) describes the material terms of the Restructuring of the Debtors. 

The Restructuring will be accomplished through the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases, to implement the Plan described herein and otherwise in form and substance
acceptable to the Required Supporting Secured Noteholders, the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders and the Required Backstop Parties. 
 This Term
Sheet contemplates entry into the second amended and restated restructuring support agreement (the “New Restructuring Support Agreement”) between the Supporting Secured Noteholders, the Supporting Unsecured Noteholders, and
the Company. The New Restructuring Support Agreement shall amend, restate, supersede, and replace (i) the Restructuring Support Agreement, dated as of May 10, 2019 (the “Original Restructuring Support Agreement”)
and (ii) the Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement, dated as of June 26, 2019 (the “Prior Restructuring Support Agreement”). 

This Term Sheet does not include a description of all the terms, conditions, and other provisions that are to be contained in the definitive documentation
governing the Restructuring, which remain subject to negotiation and completion in accordance with the New Restructuring Support Agreement and applicable bankruptcy law. The documents executed to effectuate the Restructuring will not contain any
material terms or conditions that are inconsistent in any material respect with this Term Sheet or the New Restructuring Support Agreement.  












	
	OVERVIEW OF THE RESTRUCTURING1
	
	 In general, the Restructuring contemplates that:
  

(a)   The Debtors will implement the Restructuring pursuant to the Plan on the terms set forth in
this Term Sheet, subject to the following conditions precedent:
  

i.   The Business Plan and Fleet Plan must be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Backstop
Parties; and
  
 ii.  No materially
adverse modifications to the UK SAR contract. The Company’s parent guarantee of the UK SAR contract will “ride through” the Restructuring and otherwise be unimpaired (or reinstated) pursuant to the Plan.

 
 (b)   The Secured Notes Ad Hoc
Group or a subset thereof (in such capacity, the “Secured DIP Lenders”), the Unsecured Notes Ad Hoc Group or a subset thereof and certain other holders of the Convertible Notes to the extent consented to by the Required
Supporting Unsecured Noteholders (in such capacity, collectively, the “Unsecured DIP Lenders,” and, together with the Secured DIP Lenders, collectively, the “DIP Lenders”) will fund a $150 million
super-priority senior secured debtor-in-possession financing facility (the “DIP Facility”), with $37.5 million funded by the Secured DIP
Lenders (the “Secured DIP Commitments”) and $112.5 million funded by the Unsecured DIP Lenders (the “Unsecured DIP Commitments”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the DIP
Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “DIP Credit Agreement”). The existing debtor-in-possession financing commitment
of the Secured Notes Ad Hoc Group shall not terminate unless and until the DIP Facility has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court and funded.
  

(c)   Commitments of the Secured Notes Ad Hoc Group, the Unsecured Notes Ad Hoc Group, and certain
other holders of the Convertible Notes that become party to the New Restructuring Support Agreement at or prior to the RSA Effective Time and to the extent consented to by the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders:

 
 i.   effective as of
June 27, 2019, the DIP Lenders severally (and not jointly) committed to fund the DIP Facility (with oversubscription rights as set forth below), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the DIP Commitment Letter and otherwise
consistent in all respects with the DIP Credit Agreement; and
  

ii.  the Backstop Parties severally (and not jointly) commit (the “Backstop
Commitments”) to backstop (with oversubscription rights as set forth below) the $385 million Equity Rights Offering (as set forth further herein) of (x) common equity interests (the “Reorganized Common
Equity”) and (y) preferred equity interests (the “Reorganized Preferred Equity” and, together with the Reorganized Common Equity, the “Reorganized Equity”), in each case in the
Company as reorganized pursuant to the Plan (the “Reorganized Company”), on



 

	1 	 Except with respect to the DIP Facility and Backstop Commitments, nothing contained herein shall be construed
as a commitment of any member of the Unsecured Notes Ad Hoc Group or the Secured Notes Ad Hoc Group to provide debt or equity financing to the Company. 



  
 2 













	
	 the terms and conditions described herein and more fully set forth in the Backstop Commitment Agreement, dated as of the
date of the New Restructuring Support Agreement, and a copy of which is annexed hereto as Exhibit 2, the “Backstop Commitment Agreement”). Except as expressly provided herein, the Reorganized Equity shall be purchased or
distributed for all purposes under the New Restructuring Support Agreement in “strips” of (i) 8.175% of Reorganized Preferred Equity and (ii) 91.825% of Reorganized Common Equity; and unless stated otherwise, references to distributions of
Reorganized Equity herein shall mean strips of Reorganized Preferred Equity and Reorganized Common Equity in such proportion.
  

This Term Sheet incorporates the rules of construction as set forth in section 102 of the Bankruptcy Code. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Term
Sheet shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the New Restructuring Support Agreement.


  

			
	DIP Facility/Use of Cash Collateral	  	 The DIP Facility shall have the terms set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto, including that the DIP Facility shall (i) be in the
principal amount of $150 million, (ii) have $37.5 million be funded by the Secured DIP Lenders (with oversubscription rights) and have $112.5 million be funded by the Unsecured DIP Lenders (with oversubscription rights),
provided that the DIP Lenders shall be severally (but not jointly) obligated to fund the DIP Facility, provided, further, that if any Secured DIP Lender fails to fund any portion of its Secured DIP Commitment, such portion shall
be, first, offered to the remaining Secured DIP Lenders and, second, to the Unsecured DIP Lenders, and provided, further, that if any Unsecured DIP Lender fails to fund any portion of its Unsecured DIP
Commitment, such portion shall be, first, offered to the remaining Unsecured DIP Lenders and, second, to the Secured DIP Lenders, (iii) be a single-draw term loan facility, funded in its entirety as soon as reasonably practicable upon entry of
the DIP Loan Order, and (iv) include any other modifications to be agreed among the Required DIP Lenders, the Required Supporting Secured Noteholders and the Required Supporting Unsecured Noteholders (provided that all documents and all
amendments to or modifications of any document that would have the effect of altering the treatment to be provided to any DIP Lender under the Plan shall be in form and substance acceptable to each DIP Lender affected thereby).

 
 The Final Cash Collateral Order in the form entered by the Court on June 28, 2019
[Docket No. 312] shall remain in full force and effect subject only to the order approving the DIP Facility.
 The proceeds of the DIP Facility shall be
used by the Debtors in accordance with a budget to be agreed upon with the Required DIP Lenders.

		
		  	The “Equitization Consent Fee” means a fee equal to 10% of the amount of the DIP Facility paid in, at the election of each DIP Lender, (a) Reorganized Common Equity or (b) Reorganized Preferred
Equity. The Equitization Consent Fee shall be fully earned upon entry of the DIP Order and payable, and subject to the limitations and conditions, as set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit
1.

		  	If the maturity of the DIP Facility is accelerated prior to the Effective Date, the Equitization Consent Fee shall be payable as set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
	Rights Offering and Backstop Commitment	  	  
 The Unsecured Backstop Parties shall severally (but not jointly)
backstop $347.5 million (with oversubscription rights with respect to such amounts), as set forth further herein, and the Secured Backstop Parties shall severally (but not jointly) backstop $37.5 million (with oversubscription rights with
respect to such amounts), as set forth further herein and in the Backstop Commitment Agreement, in each case, of the Equity Rights Offering. To the extent the Unsecured Backstop Parties do not fully backstop such $347.5 million, any deficiency
shall be offered to the Secured Backstop Parties for backstop (but for the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no obligation to fund such deficiency except with the consent of the funding Secured Backstop Party). To the extent the Secured Backstop
Parties do not fully backstop such $37.5 million, any deficiency shall be offered to the Unsecured Backstop Parties for backstop (but for the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no obligation to fund such deficiency except with the consent of
the funding Unsecured Backstop Party). For the avoidance of doubt, the right to fund any such deficiency shall be offered first to other Backstop Parties within the same Supporting Class (as defined in the New Restructuring Support Agreement) before
being offered to the Backstop Parties of the other Supporting Class. The “Record Date” for the Equity Rights Offering will be set forth in the order approving the Disclosure Statement.

 
 The proceeds of the Equity Rights Offering shall be used by the Debtors or the
Reorganized Company, as applicable, to fund payments under the Plan and for general corporate and strategic purposes as determined by management and the New Board.
  

All unsecured creditors shall be able to participate in their pro rata share (without oversubscription rights) of up to $347.5 million of the Equity
Rights Offering (the “Unsecured Rights”), and all Secured Noteholders shall have the right to participate in their pro rata share (without oversubscription rights) of up to $37.5 million of the Equity Rights Offering
(the “Secured Rights”) (as set forth further below in “Plan Treatment of Secured Notes Claims”) and the Reorganized Equity shall be offered in the Equity Rights Offering and shall be equal to 58.22% of the
Reorganized Equity, subject to dilution for the MIP as set forth herein. Any unsubscribed portion of the unsecured creditors’ $347.5 million portion of the Equity Rights Offering shall be purchased by the Unsecured Backstop Parties, and
any unsubscribed portion of the Secured Noteholders’ $37.5 million portion of the Equity Rights Offering shall be purchased by the Secured Backstop Parties, in each case up to such Backstop Party’s commitment under the Backstop
Commitment Agreement.
  
 The Reorganized Common Equity purchased through the Equity
Rights Offering shall dilute the Reorganized Common Equity issued under the Plan on account of any pre-petition claims (which Reorganized Common Equity for avoidance of doubt shall be subject to dilution for
the MIP).

	Backstop Commitment Fee	  	 Subject to the limitations contained below, the Backstop Commitment Fee means a nonrefundable aggregate premium equal to 10% of the aggregate
amount of the Equity Rights Offering, excluding any oversubscription amounts, payable in, at the election of each Backstop Party, (a) Reorganized Common Equity or (b) Reorganized Preferred Equity. Subject to the limitations contained
below, the Backstop Commitment Fee shall be fully earned upon entry of an order approving the Backstop Commitment Agreement (other than by Backstop Parties who default in their obligations under the Backstop Commitment Agreement) and payable upon
earlier of the consummation of the Plan and the termination of the Backstop Commitment Agreement.
  

If the Backstop Commitment Agreement is terminated prior to the Effective Date for any reason (other than a breach by the Backstop Parties or if any of the
conditions precedent set forth in sections 7.1(j) and (r) of the Backstop Commitment Agreement are not met), the Backstop Commitment Fee shall be payable to the Backstop Parties in cash in an amount equal to 5% of the aggregate amount of the
Equity Rights Offering, including any oversubscription amounts, within three (3) business days following the earlier of (a) the closing of an Alternative Transaction and (b) the effective date of a chapter 11 plan; it being understood
that a Backstop Party shall not be entitled to the Backstop Commitment Fee under any circumstances if such Backstop Party breaches the Backstop Commitment Agreement or if any of the conditions precedent set forth in sections 7.1(j) and (r) of
the Backstop Commitment Agreement are not met. If any of the Backstop Parties fails to satisfy its obligations under the Backstop Commitment Agreement and some or all of the remaining Backstop Parties cure such breach, such curing Backstop Parties
shall be entitled to payment of the applicable Backstop Commitment Fee and shall share such Backstop Commitment Fee on a pro rata basis based on participation.
  

To the extent that the Backstop Commitment Fee is payable in cash, it shall constitute an administrative expense claim against each Debtor, which shall be
pari passu with all other administrative expenses.

	Reorganized Preferred Equity	  	 The Reorganized Preferred Equity may be issued by the Reorganized Company on the Effective Date. The Reorganized Preferred Equity shall bear
an annual dividend of 10%, which shall be paid in kind in additional shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity, and such shares shall be fully convertible into shares of Reorganized Common Equity, provided that all such terms and all other terms of the
Reorganized Preferred Equity shall be consistent in all respects with the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit 3.
  

Notwithstanding anything in this Term Sheet to the contrary, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (i) if the Backstop Parties that
are Supporting Secured Noteholders (the “Secured Commitment Parties”), collectively, will be issued a higher proportion of Reorganized Preferred Equity to Reorganized Common Equity than the Backstop Parties that are
Supporting Unsecured Noteholders (the “Unsecured Commitment Parties”), collectively, then a pro rata proportion of each Unsecured Commitment Party’s Reorganized Common Equity will be converted to Reorganized Preferred
Equity so that the Unsecured Commitment Parties, collectively, will be issued the same proportion of Reorganized Preferred Equity to Reorganized Common Equity as the Secured Commitment Parties, collectively, and (ii) if the Unsecured Commitment
Parties, collectively, will be issued a higher proportion of Reorganized Preferred Equity to Reorganized Common Equity than the Secured Commitment Parties, collectively, then a pro rata proportion of each Secured Commitment Party’s Reorganized
Common Equity will be converted to Reorganized Preferred Equity so that the Secured Commitment Parties, collectively, will be issued the same proportion of Reorganized Preferred Equity to Reorganized Common Equity as the Unsecured Commitment
Parties, collectively; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, any such conversion pursuant to this sentence shall be one share of Reorganized Preferred Equity for each share of Reorganized Common Equity; provided,
further, that notwithstanding the foregoing, a Commitment Party may elect, at such Commitment Party’s sole discretion, to decline such conversion and keep such Commitment Party’s Reorganized Common Equity.

		
	Equity Rights Offering	  	All references to distributions of any Reorganized Equity shall be in accordance with Schedule 1 hereto.
		
	Exit Facility	  	The Debtors shall conduct a marketing process (the “Exit Facility Marketing Process”) to raise a senior secured or unsecured revolving, term loan or notes facility in an aggregate principal amount of at least
$75 million to be arranged and provided by one or more commercial lending institutions, which, to the extent such facility is entered into, shall repay the Prepetition Term Loans in cash, in full as more fully described in “Plan Treatment
of Prepetition Term Loan” below.

other Secured DIP Lender that is a Backstop Party shall have the option to purchase such DIP Facility claims (in exchange for the payment in full of all principal, interest, fees, expenses and other amounts), and, second, if no other Secured DIP
Lender agrees to tender for such DIP Facility claims as set forth herein, then any Unsecured DIP Lender that is a Backstop Party shall have the option to purchase such DIP Facility claims (in exchange for the payment in full of all principal,
interest, fees, expenses and other amounts) and (ii) if any of the Unsecured DIP Lenders is not a Backstop Party, then, first, any other Unsecured DIP Lender that is a Backstop Party shall have the option to purchase such DIP Facility claims
(in exchange for the payment in full of all principal, interest, fees, expenses and other amounts), and, second, if no other Unsecured DIP Lender agrees to tender for such DIP Facility claims as set forth herein, then any Secured DIP Lender that is
a Backstop Party shall have the option to purchase such DIP Facility claims (in exchange for the payment in full of all principal, interest, fees, expenses and other amounts).
		
	Plan Treatment of Prepetition Term Loan	  	 Unless each holder of a Prepetition Term Loan claim agrees otherwise, each holder of a Prepetition Term Loan claim (including pre- and post-petition interest at the contract rate and all other outstanding amounts, to the extent not otherwise paid as adequate protection pursuant to a cash collateral order and not recharacterized or
otherwise avoided) shall receive, (a) if the Company enters into an Exit Facility prior to the Effective Date, payment in full in cash, and (b) if the Company does not enter into an Exit Facility prior to the Effective Date, replaced or
amended and reinstated, in any case secured by a first lien on substantially all assets of the Company (subject to customary and other agreed exclusions including for the Lombard Financing Facilities), with the same maturity and interest rate as in
the Prepetition Term Loan, and with amendments only to the prepayment, financial, reporting and other affirmative and negative covenants in the Prepetition Term Loan credit agreement acceptable to the “Required Lenders” as defined in the
credit agreement governing the Prepetition Term Loan and the Required Supporting Secured Noteholders (together, the “Required Secured Parties”) and the Required Backstop Parties, and a .75% amendment fee to be paid to the

including any make-whole or prepayment premium) (collectively, the “Secured Notes Claims”) shall receive payment in full consisting of (a) cash equal to 97% of such holder’s Secured Notes Claims after giving effect
to the payment in full in cash of all pre- and post-petition accrued and unpaid interest and any prepayment of the Secured Notes with proceeds from the DIP Facility, plus (b) such holder’s pro-rata share of the Secured Rights, as determined as a percentage of all holders of Secured Notes Claims.
  

Approximately $75 million of the DIP Facility shall be used, promptly after the funding thereof, to pay down on a dollar-for-dollar basis amounts outstanding (including principal, pre- and post-petition accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts owed) under the Secured
Notes.

Unsecured Claims arising under Section 502(g) of the Bankruptcy Code (collectively, “General Unsecured Claims”) shall receive, at the option of such holder, if such holder is an accredited investor, such holder’s pro-rata share of:

BRISTOW GROUP INC. 

Term Sheet Relating to Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 

The following preliminary, non-binding term sheet (this “Term Sheet”) presents certain proposed,
material terms relating to the issuance by Bristow Group Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the (Reorganized Preferred Equity”) in connection with the consummation
of the Company’s restructuring pursuant to the filing of cases under chapter 11 of the United States Code (Case No. 19-32713(DRJ)). 

 

			
	General:	  	 Purchase Price: $36.37 per share of Reorganized Preferred Equity

 
 Initial Liquidation Preference: $48.51 per share of Reorganized Preferred
Equity
  
 Rank: The Reorganized Preferred Equity shall rank (i) senior to
the Company’s reorganized common stock (the “Reorganized Common Equity”) and any other class of preferred stock of the Company (including with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation), unless otherwise approved
in accordance with the voting rights section below and (ii) subordinate to any existing or future indebtedness of the Company

		
	Dividends:	  	 10% PIK dividend payable annually as of any record date set for the payment of dividends to the holders of the Reorganized Common Equity.
Dividends are payable annually or, if more frequent than annually, when Reorganized Common Equity dividends are paid, and are cumulative and compound based on the original purchase price and previously accumulated dividends.

 
 All accrued and accumulated dividends are prior in preference to any dividend on the
Reorganized Common Equity and any securities junior to the Reorganized Preferred Equity, and shall be fully declared and paid before any dividends are declared and paid, or any other distributions or redemptions are made, on the Reorganized Common
Equity or on any securities junior to the Reorganized Preferred Equity (other than dividends payable in shares of Reorganized Common Equity or repurchases pursuant to binding contractual commitments of Reorganized Common Equity held by employees,
directors or consultants upon termination of their employment or services).

		
	Liquidation Preference:	  	Upon the commencement of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company or bankruptcy reorganization or any other similar event or proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, with respect to the Company
(each a “Liquidation Event”) or Deemed Liquidation Event (as defined below), each share of Reorganized Preferred Equity, including shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity that would be issued to account for accrued and unpaid
dividends, shall be entitled to receive in preference to any distribution to the holders of any Reorganized Common Equity or securities junior to the Reorganized Preferred Equity an amount in cash per share of Reorganized Common Equity (or the
number of shares of Reorganized Common Equity that would be economically equivalent thereto) (the “Liquidation Preference”) equal to the greater of:


  













			
		
		  	 (i) the Initial Liquidation Preference per share of Reorganized Preferred Equity (as adjusted for stock splits,
recapitalizations and similar events);
  
 (ii) an amount that
results in the holders of Reorganized Preferred Equity achieving the Base Return (as defined below); and
  

(iii) the amount such holder would have received had such holder converted his shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity into shares of
Reorganized Common Equity immediately prior to (and subject to the consummation of) such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event and shared in the proceeds and other consideration of the Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event as a
holder of Reorganized Common Equity;
  
 provided, however,
that in lieu of receiving the Liquidation Preference in cash, the holders of Reorganized Preferred Equity may elect to convert their shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity into shares of Reorganized Common Equity immediately prior to (and subject to
the consummation of) such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event and share in the proceeds and other consideration of the Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event as the holders of Reorganized Common Equity with such conversion being
sufficient to result in each Reorganized Preferred Equity holder receiving a number of shares of Reorganized Common Equity that would be economically equivalent to such holder receiving the Liquidation Preference; provided,
further that the Company may elect for the holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity to convert their shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity into shares of Reorganized Common Equity immediately prior to (and subject to the
consummation of) the consummation of a transaction contemplated by clauses (i), (ii) or (v) of the definition of Deemed Liquidation Event and share in the proceeds and other consideration of such transaction as the holders of Reorganized Common
Equity with such conversion being sufficient to result in each Reorganized Preferred Equity holder receiving a number of shares of Reorganized Common Equity that would be economically equivalent to such holder receiving the Liquidation Preference
(which, for purposes of clarification, shall consist of the number of shares of Reorganized Common Equity that would be economically equivalent to the greater of the amounts in cash per share of Reorganized Common Equity resulting from the
calculations pursuant to each of clauses (i) and (ii) above). If the Liquidation Preference payment consists in whole or in part of common stock or other marketable securities (for example, in the event of a merger, business combination or sale
transaction), then the fair market value of each share of such common stock or other securities issued to the holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity as part of the Liquidation Preference shall be equal to the greater of: (a) 90%

definitive documents of such merger, business combination, or sale transaction.

		  	 If upon any Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event, the remaining assets of the Company are insufficient to pay the Liquidation
Preference to which holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity are entitled, the holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity shall share ratably in any distribution of the remaining assets and funds of the Company in proportion to the respective
Liquidation Preference which would otherwise be payable in respect of the Reorganized Preferred Equity in the aggregate upon such Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event if all amounts payable on or with respect to such shares were paid in
full, and the Company shall not make any payments to the holders of Reorganized Common Equity or any securities junior to the Reorganized Preferred Equity.
  

“Base Return” means (i) prior to the third anniversary of the original issuance of the Reorganized Preferred Equity (the “Closing
Date”), an amount per share equal to the greater of (x) an “IRR” of 14.0% and (y) a 1.5x “MOIC”; (ii) on or after the third anniversary of the Closing Date but before the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date,
an amount per share equal to the greater of (x) an “IRR” of 15.0% and (y) a 1.7x “MOIC”; (iii) on or after the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date but before the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount per

17.0% and (y) a 2.1x “MOIC”. The definitions of “IRR” and “MOIC” shall be set forth in the definitive documentation and calculated using the Initial Liquidation Preference.

 
 “Deemed Liquidation Event” means any of the following: (i) the
lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets (in each case whether in one transaction or a series of transactions); (ii) upon an acquisition of the Company by
another person or entity by means of any transaction or series of transactions (including any reorganization, merger, merger of equals, business combination, consolidation or share transfer) (x) where the holders of the Reorganized Common
Equity and Reorganized Preferred Equity of the Company immediately preceding such transaction own, immediately following such transaction, less than 75% of the voting securities of the Company or (y) where the gross proceeds are greater than or
equal to an amount equal to 25% of the enterprise value of the Company; (iii) if any person (including any syndicate or group deemed to be a “person” under Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended and the rules of the SEC thereunder) is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except that a

voting stock; (iv) on the first day on which a majority of the members of the board of directors of the Company does not consist of Continuing Directors (as defined below); (v) the consummation of a Qualified IPO (as defined below); and

		  	 “Continuing Directors” means (i) individuals who on the Closing Date constituted the board of directors of the Company
or (ii) any new directors whose election or nomination was approved by at least a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors on the Closing Date or whose election or nomination was previously so approved by the
holders of Reorganized Common Equity and Reorganized Preferred Equity.
  

“Qualified IPO” means the closing of an initial public offering and sale of the Reorganized Common Equity (or the equity interests of an

than a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or their equivalent, under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for aggregate proceeds of an amount equal to no
less than 25% of the Company’s enterprise value.

		
	Holder Optional Conversion:	  	 At any time and from time to time following the Closing Date, each holder of Reorganized Preferred Equity shall have an independent right to
convert all or any portion of its Reorganized Preferred Equity, at such holder’s option, into a whole number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Reorganized Common Equity equal to (A) the
Initial Liquidation Preference per share of Reorganized Preferred Equity (as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalizations and similar events with respect to the Reorganized Preferred Equity) divided by (B) the Conversion Price (as
defined below) (the “Conversion Return”) and then multiplied by (C) the shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity being converted (including PIK dividends previously paid and any accrued and unpaid dividends payable in
shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity) (the “Converted Shares”). In addition, at any time and from time to time following the Closing Date, the holders of a majority of the Reorganized Preferred Equity, voting as a separate
class, have the right to (i) convert all of the Reorganized Preferred Equity into a number of shares of Reorganized Common Equity equal to (x) the Conversion Return multiplied by (y) the Converted Shares or (ii) convert

(and holders of a majority of the Reorganized Preferred Equity, voting as a separate class, shall have the right require the Company to redeem all of the Reorganized Preferred Equity) at a per share
price


  
 4 













			
		
		  	equal to the Liquidation Preference. Each holder of Reorganized Preferred Equity shall also have an independent right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of its Reorganized Preferred Equity (and holders of a majority
of the Reorganized Preferred Equity, voting as a separate class, shall have the right require the Company to redeem all of the Reorganized Preferred Equity) at a per share price equal to the Liquidation Preference (a) upon the occurrence of a
Breach (as defined below), (b) on the effective date of a confirmed plan in a chapter 11 bankruptcy case for the Company or any similar bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding or (c) on or immediately prior to the consummation of any
Liquidation Event or Deemed Liquidation Event. Except as described in the “Fundamental Transaction Make-Whole” section below, the Company shall not have any right to require mandatory redemption.
		
	Breach:	  	 The holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity shall be entitled to a dividend rate increase by an increment of 2% per annum for all periods
of time during which a Breach is continuing.
  
 In the event that at any time and from
time to time, a Breach pursuant to clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the definition of Breach is not cured within three months of its occurrence, then the majority of the holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity shall have the right to designate
a party (which party may be a holder of the Reorganized Preferred Equity) to observe all matters submitted to or considered by the board of directors of the Company until such time as the event is cured.

 
 “Breach” means any (i) failure to pay dividends when due,
(ii) failure to make any redemption payment or liquidation payment when due, (iii) breaches of any other covenants set forth in the definitive documentation, (iv) assignment for the benefit of creditors or bankruptcy or (v) such
other customary defaults as the Company and the holders may agree to in the definitive documentation.

		
	Fundamental Transaction Make-Whole:	  	If the Company undergoes a “Fundamental Transaction” (to be defined in definitive documentation), then the Company shall have the right (the “Call Right”) to convert all (but not less than all) of the then
outstanding Reorganized Preferred Equity at such time (the date of such redemption, the “Call Date”) into shares of Reorganized Common Equity immediately prior to (and subject to the consummation of) such Fundamental Transaction so
that the holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity share in the proceeds and other consideration of the Fundamental Transaction as the holders of Reorganized Common Equity, with such conversion being sufficient to result in each Reorganized
Preferred Equity holder receiving a number of shares of Reorganized Common Equity that would be economically equivalent to such holder receiving (i) the Liquidation Preference (which, for purposes of clarification, shall consist of the number
of shares of Reorganized Common Equity that would be economically equivalent to the greater of the amounts in cash per share of Reorganized Common Equity resulting from the calculations pursuant to each of clauses (i) and (ii) of the definition
of “Liquidation Preference” above) multiplied by the applicable “Make-Whole Redemption Percentage” set forth in the table below plus (ii) if positive, the present value (computed using a discount rate based on
U.S. Treasury securities

exercised the Call Right between (inclusive of such dates) the Call Date and the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date multiplied by the applicable Make-Whole Redemption Percentage.

	Voting and Consent Rights	 	 The holders of the Reorganized Preferred Equity shall be entitled to vote on an
as-converted basis with the holders of the Reorganized Common Equity on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of Reorganized Common Equity.

 
 In addition, the following matters require the consent of the holders of a majority of
the Reorganized Preferred Equity, voting as a separate class, and excluding such shares owned by the Company or any subsidiary or other entity controlled by or controlling any such party:

 
 i.   repealing, amending,
waiving or otherwise changing any provisions of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws (whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise) that adversely affects the powers, preferences or other rights or privileges of the Reorganized
Preferred Equity or any of its holders, whether directly or indirectly;
  

ii.  increasing the number of authorized shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity or issuing additional
shares of Reorganized Preferred Equity after the Closing Date other than to pay the dividends on the Reorganized Preferred Equity;
  

iii.   issuance by any subsidiary or controlled affiliate of the Company of any preferred equity
securities or any other securities convertible into preferred equity securities in any such subsidiary or controlled affiliate of the Company (other than issuances of such securities to the Company or another wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company);

iv.   creating any new class or series of stock, or any other equity securities, or any other
securities convertible into equity securities of the Company, in each such case having a preference over, or being on parity with, the Reorganized Preferred Equity with respect to dividends, liquidation, voting or redemption;

 
 v.  consummating a Liquidation Event
or Deemed Liquidation Event or entering into any other Fundamental Transaction (to be defined in definitive documentation) that would not permit the Reorganized Preferred Equity to be converted or redeemed in full; and

 
 vi.   such other customary
consent matters as the Company and the holders may agree to in definitive documentation.

		
	Anti-Dilution Protection:	  	 The Reorganized Preferred Equity will have customary anti-dilution provisions, including in connection with (a) a subdivision or
combination of outstanding Reorganized Common Equity, reclassification, recapitalization, stock split, dividend or other distribution payable in any form, (b) any Deemed Liquidation Event under clauses (i) through (iv) of such definition,
and (c) any consideration in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for Reorganized Common Equity of the Company or securities junior to the Reorganized Preferred Equity made by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Reorganized
Preferred Equity shall be adjusted on a weighted average basis for issuances of Reorganized Common Equity (or common stock equivalents, equity securities, or securities/debt convertible into equity securities).

 
 In the event that a shareholder rights plan is in effect, the Reorganized Preferred
Equity will receive upon conversion of such shares, in addition to the Reorganized Common Equity of the Company, rights under the shareholder rights agreement.

Governance Term Sheet 











 EXECUTION VERSION 

BRISTOW GROUP INC. 
 Term
Sheet Relating to Corporate Governance Matters 
 The following preliminary, non-binding term sheet (this “Term Sheet”) presents
certain proposed, material terms relating to the corporate governance of a reorganized Bristow Group Inc. (the “Company”) that would be implemented in connection with the consummation of the Company’s restructuring pursuant to
the filing of cases under chapter 11 of the United States Code (Case No. 19-32713(DRJ)). 
  
  

			
	Structure:	  	The Company will be organized as a Delaware corporation. The Company will not continue as a reporting company1 after the date of emergence (the “Emergence
Date”).
		
	Capital Structure:	  	 The Company’s issued equity interests (“Equity Interests”) will initially consist of:

 
 •  one class of common stock,
par value $0.0001 per share (each such share, a “Common Share” and collectively, the “Common Shares”, and each holder thereof, a “Holder”); and

 
 •  one class of convertible
preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (each such share, a “Preferred Share” and collectively, the “Preferred Shares”, and each holder thereof, a “Preferred Holder”, and the Preferred Holders
together with the Holders, collectively, the “Company Stockholders”).
  

“Fully Diluted Common Shares” means the aggregate amount of Common Shares after giving effect to a hypothetical conversion of all of the
outstanding Preferred Shares into Common Shares.
  

•  “Major Holders” means (i) Solus Alternative Asset Management LP (together with
one or more of its designed affiliates or managed investment vehicles, funds or accounts, including without limitation, Sola LTD, Solus Long-Term Opportunities Fund Master LP and Solus Opportunities Fund 5 LP, collectively,
“Solus”), (ii) the South Dakota Retirement System (together with one or more of its designed affiliates or managed investment vehicles, funds or accounts, collectively, “SDIC”) and (iii) from and after the Emergence
Date, with the consent of Solus and SDIC (and any Additional Major Holders previously agreed to by Solus and SDIC pursuant to this clause (iii)), any additional (each, an “Additional Major Holder”) Company Stockholder who was party
to the Company’s stockholders’ agreement as of the Emergence Date and at any time holds more than 15% of the Fully Diluted Common Shares; provided, that the consent



 

	1 	 This Term Sheet assumes that the go-forward Company will be a privately-held corporation. If the go-forward
Company will be a public, SEC-reporting company or a private Delaware limited liability company, the parties will make applicable conforming changes throughout the definitive documents. In addition, if the Company will be a Delaware limited
liability company, definitive documents will make clear that directors and officers of the Company will have the same fiduciary duties that directors and officers of a Delaware corporation would have. 



  
 1 













			
		  	shall automatically be deemed given if such Company Stockholder holds more than 15% of the Fully Diluted Common Shares unless (x) such Company Stockholder holds, or later acquires, an aggregate 3% or more of the outstanding equity
interests or voting rights in respect of any of the Company’s competitors (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no appointment or similar rights to such competitor’s board of directors, board of managers or similar governing body) and,
thereafter, (y) the Company determines (or, prior to the Emergence Date, Solus and SDIC determine) in good faith, after consulting with antitrust counsel, that such Company Stockholder becoming an Additional Major Holder (and, among other things,
receiving Board appointment rights) could reasonably be expected to create an adverse antitrust issue for the Company, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s ability to pursue business combinations.
		
	Information Rights:	  	 The Company shall provide each Company Stockholder with customary information and access rights (“Information Rights”) so
long as such Company Stockholder executes and delivers a customary confidentiality agreement applicable to such Information Rights on a form reasonably acceptable to the Company.

 
 For all Company Stockholders, “Information Rights” shall at a minimum,
include the following:
  
 1)  For
all Company Stockholders, access to a virtual data room, which shall include:
  

a)  audited annual financial statements within 90 days of year-end;

 
 b)  quarterly financial statements
within 45 days of quarter-end; and
  

c)  monthly financial statements within 30 days of month-end.

 
 2)  All Company Stockholders shall
receive an invitation to a quarterly MD&A conference call with members of the Company’s senior management.
  

3)  Company Stockholders owning at least 1% of the Fully Diluted Common Shares shall have customary
inspection rights over the Company’s books and records.
  

4)  Company Stockholders owning at least 1% of the Fully Diluted Common Shares shall be entitled to
notification of key events, including termination or departure of senior management, material adverse changes in the business or material litigation, in each case subject to reasonable limitations to be set forth in the stockholders’ agreement
with respect to the materiality of matters so disclosed and the form of notice to be provided.
  

The foregoing Information Rights shall be subject to customary exceptions to protect confidential and proprietary Company information from disclosure to the
public and competitors; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Company Stockholder that is party to the Company’s stockholders’ agreement as of the Emergence Date or its respective affiliated funds shall be deemed a
competitor of the Company



  
 2 













			
		  	 unless such Company Stockholder or its respective affiliated funds acquires an aggregate 3% or more of the outstanding equity interests or
voting rights in respect of any of the Company’s competitors (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no appointment or similar rights to such competitor’s board of directors, board of managers or similar governing body) on or after the Emergence
Date, in which case the Company may, in good faith, determine that such Company Stockholder or its affiliated funds is a competitor.
  

In addition, the Company shall provide prospective purchasers of Equity Interests with customary access to Company information (which shall include the
Information Rights set forth in clause (1) above) for the purpose of evaluating such acquisition of Equity Interests so long as such prospective purchaser executes and delivers a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to the Company.

		
	Board of Directors:	  	 The Company will be managed by a board of directors (the “Board”), which will be responsible for overseeing the operation of
the Company’s business. The Board will initially be comprised of seven directors (“Directors”).
  

The Directors on the Board shall be determined as follows:
  

•  Solus: Solus shall have the right to appoint (i) two Directors for so long as Solus holds
20% or more of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares, (ii) one Director for so long as Solus holds less than 20% but at least 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares and (iii) no Directors for so long as Solus holds less than 10% of
the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares (each Director appointed by Solus, a “Solus Director”);
  

•  SDIC: SDIC shall have the right to appoint (i) one Director for so long as SDIC holds at
least 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares and (ii) no Directors for so long as SDIC holds less than 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares; provided, however, that if SDIC comes to hold 20% or more of the
outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares, SDIC shall instead have the right to appoint two Directors for so long as it holds 20% or more of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares (each Director appointed by SDIC, a “SDIC Director”);
provided, further, that SDIC may transfer its right to appoint SDIC Director(s) to Solus at any time.
  

•  CEO: The then current Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) of the Company
(the “CEO Director”) shall be a Director and the Company Stockholders shall consult in good faith with the CEO with respect to the appointment of each other Director;

 
 •  Independents: Two
independent Directors subject to the appointment rights described below (each, an “Independent Director”);

 



  
 3 













			
		  	 •  Secured Creditors: The secured creditors as a group as of the Emergence
Date (the “Initial Secured Creditors”) shall have the right to appoint one Director to the initial Board provided that the Initial Secured Creditors hold at least 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares as of the
Emergence Date (the “Secured Creditors Director”); provided, however, that if the Initial Secured Creditors do not hold at least 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares as of the Emergence Date, then such initial
Board seat allocated to the Secured Creditors Director shall be filled in the same manner as the Independent Directors at the next meeting of the Company Stockholders in which Directors are elected; provided, further, that (i) if any
individual Initial Secured Creditor holds at least 12.5% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares after the initial term of 12 months, then such Initial Secured Creditor shall have the right to appoint one Director for so long as such Initial
Secured Creditor continues to hold 12.5% or more of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares or (ii) if no Initial Secured Creditor holds at least 12.5% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares, then such initial Board seat shall be filled
in the same manner as the Independent Directors at the next meeting of the Company Stockholders in which Directors are elected; and
  

•  Additional Major Holders: From and after the Emergence Date, Additional Major Holders shall
have the right to appoint (i) two Directors for so long as such Additional Major Holder holds 20% or more of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares, (ii) one Director for so long as such Additional Major Holder holds less than 20% but at least
10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares and (iii) no Directors for so long as such Additional Major Holder holds less than 10% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares (each Director appointed by an Additional Major Holder, an
“Additional Major Holder Director”); provided, however, that (x) the first Board seat filled by an Additional Major Holder, if applicable, shall be a Board seat previously held by a Solus Director, SDIC Director or Secured
Creditors Director, to the extent any of Solus, SDIC or an individual Initial Secured Creditor has, as of such time, ceded its right to appoint one or more Directors (i.e., upon falling below the applicable 20%, 12.5% and/or 10% thresholds set forth
above) and (y) to the extent each of Solus, SDIC and an individual Initial Secured Creditor continues to hold their respective rights to appoint one or more Directors as set forth above and Additional Major Holders nonetheless have the right to
appoint one or more Additional Major Holder Directors, then the size of the Board shall increase, to the extent necessary, to accommodate the Solus Directors, the SDIC Directors, the Secured Creditors Director, the CEO Director and two Independent
Directors, along with the Additional Major Holder Directors.



  
 4 













			
		  	 Subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the definitive documentation, in the event that any Major Holder transfers all or
substantially all of its respective Equity Interests, such transferee will be entitled to receive the Director designation rights held by the applicable transferring Major Holder immediately prior to such transfer.

 
 The initial Independent Directors shall be selected in good faith by the affirmative
vote of 66-2/3% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares owned by Company Stockholders holding at least 5% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares as of the Emergence Date and after an initial term of 12 months, the Independent
Directors shall be appointed by the nominating committee and ratified by an affirmative vote of 66-2/3% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares owned by Company Stockholders holding at least 5% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares
as of such time. The Independent Directors shall be non-management individuals with relevant industry experience.
  

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, at least 66-2/3% of the Directors shall be citizens of the United States within the meaning of the Federal Aviation
Act of 1958, as amended (“U.S. Citizen”). A person that is not a U.S. Citizen shall not be eligible for nomination or election as a Director if such person’s election, together with the election of any incumbent Directors that
are not U.S. Citizens and are candidates for election as a Director at the same time, would result in less than 66-2/3% of the Company’s Directors being U.S. Citizens. No person who is not a U.S. Citizen shall serve as president or CEO of the
Company or as Chairman of its Board of Directors. The Company’s organizational documents shall reflect the foregoing provisions and contain such other provisions, including limitations on the voting rights of non-U.S. shareholders, as are
necessary for the Company to maintain compliance with the U.S. law requirements regarding control of aviation companies by U.S. Citizens.

		
	Board Committees:	  	 Subject to the terms set forth herein, the Board will have the discretion to establish committees. The Board will establish an exit event
committee that will be tasked with exploring certain exit events (e.g., merger, business combination, sale of the Company, consummation of a qualified IPO).
  

The nominating committee and compensation committee of the Board shall each initially consist of at least one Solus Director, one SDIC Director and the Secured
Creditors Director; provided, however, that in the event no individual Initial Secured Creditor has the right to appoint the Secured Creditors Director to the Board after the initial term of 12 months, the Board may thereafter elect to
remove the Secured Creditors Director from the nominating committee, compensation committee and/or any other applicable committees, and replace such Director by a majority vote of the Board. The stockholders’ agreement shall set forth a list of
committees to be created by the Board, including responsibilities to be delegated thereto, and shall additionally provide that all major actions in respect of the Company’s business shall be reserved for meetings of the full Board.

 
 Each Company Stockholder holding at least 5% of the Fully Diluted Common Shares as of
the Emergence Date shall be entitled to have one observer at each meeting of, or interview conducted by, the nominating committee, subject to customary limitations. The nominating committee shall consider the observers’ input in good faith
before selecting any proposed nominees.



  
 5 













			
	Major Holder Negative Consent Rights:	  	 In addition to any negative consent rights that the Preferred Holders may have, the following actions shall require the prior written consent
of at least one Major Holder, or if there are any Additional Major Holders, greater than 50% of the Equity Interests held by the Major Holders:
  

i.   Incurrence of any indebtedness for borrowed money (including capital leases or the grant of any
guarantee related thereto) in excess of a to-be-determined threshold amount;
  

ii.  Acquisition or disposition, or series of related acquisitions or dispositions, in excess of a
to-be-determined threshold amount;
  

iii.   Fundamental change (e.g., change of control, sale of substantially all assets or sale of
significant assets);
  

iv.   Consummation of a qualified IPO; and

 
 v.  Transfers of Equity Interests to
competitors, including industry competitors and certain third party private equity and financial purchasers.
  

Other Company Stockholder approvals only as required by Delaware law.

		
	Minority Consent Rights:	  	 All Company Stockholders shall be entitled to customary minority protection rights set forth in the definitive documentation, including
customary supermajority protections for certain fundamental actions, which shall require an affirmative vote of 67% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares of the Company; provided that any action that materially and disproportionately
impacts one Company Stockholder or group of Company Stockholders (in such capacity) compared to any other Company Stockholder or group of Company Stockholders (including, for the avoidance of doubt, amendments to the Company’s
stockholders’ agreement) shall require the prior written consent of such impacted Company Stockholder or group of Company Stockholders.
  

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the stockholders’ agreement shall provide that amendments to the Company’s organizational documents (including the
stockholders’ agreement itself) that would circumvent or otherwise modify the agreements set forth in this Term Sheet under the headings of “Information Rights”, “Board of Directors”, “Board Committees”,
“Minority Consent Rights”, “Tag-Along Rights”, “Right of First Offer”, “Preemptive Rights” and “Registration Rights Agreement” will, for 3 years following the Effective Date, require the affirmative
vote of 80% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares.

		
	Transfer Restrictions:	  	Customary transfer restrictions to prohibit and void any trade that would result in the triggering of an SEC reporting obligation and transfers of Equity Interests to competitors, including industry competitors and certain third
party private equity and financial purchasers, would be subject to Board consent; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, no Company Stockholder that is party to the Company’s stockholders’ agreement as of


  
 6 













			
		  	the Emergence Date or its respective affiliated funds shall be deemed a competitor of the Company unless such Company Stockholder holds or acquires an aggregate 3% or more of the outstanding equity interests or voting rights in
respect of such competitor (and, for the avoidance of doubt, no appointment or similar rights to such competitor’s board of directors, board of managers or similar governing body), in which case the Company may, in good faith, determine that
such Company Stockholder or its affiliated funds is a competitor.
		
	Tag-Along Rights:	  	Subject to the “Transfer Restrictions” and “Negative Consent Rights” sections of this Term Sheet, each (x) Holder of Common Shares that holds at least 5% of the outstanding Common Shares, and (y) Initial Secured
Creditor, shall have the right to sell its Common Shares on a proportionate basis, or “tag-along” (based on their relative ownership of the outstanding Common Shares), in a sale (or series of sales) by any of the Major Holders of at least
50% of the Common Shares held by such Major Holders to a third party.
		
	Drag-Along Rights:	  	Any Company Stockholder holding, or group of Company Stockholders collectively holding, more than 50% of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares shall have the right to effect a sale of the Company to an unaffiliated third party
by merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the assets or Equity Interests without the approval of the other Company Stockholders (except that if there are any Additional Major Holders, the approval of greater than 50% of the
Equity Interests held by the Major Holders shall be required to consummate a drag transaction), subject to customary protections for such other Company Stockholders.
		
	Right of First Offer:	  	None.
		
	Preemptive Rights:	  	Except for customary exempted issuances, each (x) Holder holding 2% or more of the outstanding Fully Diluted Common Shares, and (y) Initial Secured Creditor, will have customary preemptive rights on a pro rata basis in connection
with any issuance of any equity securities or convertible debt securities by the Company so that such Holder has the ability to maintain the same percentage ownership of Fully Diluted Common Shares before and after such issuance, subject to
customary exceptions. Such preemptive rights shall terminate upon the completion of a qualified IPO.
		
	Registration Rights Agreement:	  	Upon or after a qualified IPO, any (i) Holder who would not otherwise be allowed to sell all of their Common Shares immediately without volume limitations or other restrictions under the Securities Act of 1933 or (ii) other Company
Stockholders holding at least 5% of the voting power of the Fully Diluted Common Shares shall, in each case, be entitled to customary registration rights with respect to the Common Shares held by them, including customary demand, shelf and piggyback
registration rights.
		
	Corporate Opportunities:	  	The Company’s governance documents will provide, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for the renunciation of the Company’s interest in business opportunities that are presented to Directors or Company
Stockholders, in each case, other than opportunities presented to Directors, employees, consultants or officers of the Company in their capacity as such (and the renunciation shall apply to any Chairman of the Board that is not otherwise an
employee, consultant or officer of the Company).
