(“GT Inc”) and its affiliated debtors1 (collectively, the   “Debtors”) have advised the undersigned financing support parties (the “Financing Support   Parties”) that the undersigned Debtors, in connection with their pending chapter 11 cases (the   “Chapter 11 Cases”)2, require exit financing to facilitate the effectiveness of a plan of   reorganization with respect to all of the Debtors, which includes, among other things, financing   to fund the ongoing working capital requirements of the Debtors, as reorganized.  Each of the   Financing Support Parties is pleased to advise you of its commitment to provide an exit   financing facility in an amount that, when added to the amount of the commitments of all the   other Exit Financing Support Parties as specified herein, will total the aggregate amount of   $80,000,000 (the “Exit Facility”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this commitment   letter.  The Financing Support Parties’ commitment to provide the Exit Facility is, in all respects,   subject only to, and conditioned only on, the satisfaction of the Exit Facility Conditions (as   defined below).  The specific amount of the Exit Facility committed by each Financing Support   Party is set forth in Exhibit A to the Plan Term Sheet attached hereto as Annex 1 and   incorporated herein by reference (the “Term Sheet”)3 under the heading “Commitment   Amounts”.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Financing Support Party shall, in any event, be liable   to provide the amount of the Exit Facility committed by any other Financing Support Party.   By   execution of this commitment letter, each Financing Support Party represents and warrants that it   or its Financing Support Party Affiliate (defined below) has the funds necessary to fund its   respective share of the financing commitment.   By its execution hereof and its acceptance of the commitment contained herein and, to the extent   required, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court, each of the Debtors signatory hereto   agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Financing Support Parties and each of their respective   assignees and affiliates (including Financing Support Party Affiliates (defined below)) and their   respective directors, partners, members, officers, employees, attorneys and agents (each an   1    The affiliated debtors of GT Inc are: GTAT Corporation (“GT Corp”), GT Advanced Equipment Holding LLC, GT   Equipment Holdings, Inc., Lindbergh Acquisition Corp., GT Sapphire Systems Holding LLC, GT Advanced Cz   LLC, GT Sapphire Systems Group LLC, and GT Advanced Technologies Limited (“GT HK”).   2    The Debtors commenced cases in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Hampshire (the   “Bankruptcy Court”) by filing for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-   1532 (the “Bankruptcy Code”), which Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered and are captioned In re GT   Advanced Technologies Inc., et. al., Case No. 14-11916-HJB.   3    Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this commitment letter have the meaning ascribed to them in the Term   Sheet.

In the event of any   litigation or dispute involving this commitment letter or the Exit Facility, no party hereto shall be   responsible or liable to any other such party or any other person for any special, indirect,   consequential, incidental or punitive damages.  In addition, each of the Debtors signatory hereto   agrees to reimburse the Financing Support Parties and their Financing Support Party Affiliates   (defined below) for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses of Wilmer Cutler   Pickering Hale and Dorr, LLP and one local bankruptcy counsel in New Hampshire (the   “Expenses”) incurred by or on behalf of the Financing Support Parties and their Financing   Support Party Affiliates (defined below) in connection with the negotiation, preparation,   execution and delivery of this commitment letter and any and all definitive documentation   relating hereto and thereto.  The obligations of the Debtors signatory hereto under this paragraph   shall remain effective whether or not definitive documentation is executed and notwithstanding   any termination of this commitment letter.   Upon the execution and acceptance of this commitment letter by the Debtors signatory hereto,   but subject to approval of this commitment letter by the Bankruptcy Court, each of the Debtors   signatory hereto hereby agrees that the Put Option Premium, referred to in Exhibit A to the Term   Sheet shall be fully earned and payable as set forth under the heading “Put Option Premium” in   the Term Sheet.   The Debtors’ obligations under this letter are, to the extent required, subject to the approval of   the Bankruptcy Court, and the Debtors agree to use their reasonable efforts to obtain such   approval of the Bankruptcy Court on or before December 2, 2015.   The Financing Support Parties’ commitment to provide the Exit Facility is subject to and   conditioned on (i) the absence, after the date hereof, of any material adverse change with respect   to the condition, financial or otherwise, business, operations, assets or  liabilities of the Debtors   or their subsidiaries taken as a whole, as determined by the Majority Financing Support Parties in   their reasonable discretion (a “Material Adverse Change”), provided, however, that for purposes   of determining whether a Material Adverse Change has occurred, any change resulting solely   from the continuation of the Chapter 11 Cases or the process relating to the implementation of     





 







            the Plan, shall be disregarded, (ii) the entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court   confirming the Plan which shall in all respects be in accordance with the terms therefor set forth   in the Term Sheet, and which Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect and not be   stayed or vacated, (iii) the occurrence of the Effective Date and (iv) the amendment of the DIP   Facility on the terms set forth in Exhibit C to the Term Sheet (this paragraph, the “Exit Facility   Conditions”).   This commitment letter is delivered to the Debtors upon the condition that, prior to the Debtors’   acceptance of this offer, neither the existence of this commitment letter or the Term Sheet, nor   any of their contents, shall be disclosed by the Debtors, except (a) as may be compelled to be   disclosed in a judicial or administrative proceeding or as otherwise required by law (including as   may be required by the Bankruptcy Court, including for purposes of having this commitment   letter approved), (b) on a confidential and “need to know” basis, solely to the directors, officers,   employees, advisors, accountants, counsel or agents of (i) the Debtors, (ii) the Office of the   United States Trustee, or (iii) the official committee of unsecured creditors appointed in the   Chapter 11 Cases and (c) upon notice to the Financing Support Parties, in connection with any   public filing requirement a Debtor is legally obligated to satisfy.  In addition, each of the Debtors   agrees that it will (i) consult with the Financing Support Parties prior to the making of any filing   in which reference is made to the Financing Support Parties or the commitment contained herein,   and (ii) obtain the prior approval of the Financing Support Parties (not to be unreasonably   withheld, delayed or conditioned) before releasing any public announcement in which reference   is made to the Financing Support Parties or to the commitment contained herein. For the   avoidance of doubt, after execution of this commitment letter by the Debtors and the Financing   Support Parties, and in connection with the Debtors’ efforts to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval   thereof, the Debtors may file this commitment letter with the Bankruptcy Court.    The Debtors acknowledge that the Financing Support Parties and their respective affiliates may   now or hereafter provide financing or advisory services to, or own or obtain other interests in,   other companies in respect of which one or more of the Debtors or their affiliates may be   business competitors, and that the Financing Support Parties and their affiliates will have no   obligation to provide to the Debtors or any of their affiliates any information (whether or not   confidential) obtained from or in respect of such other companies.  No Financing Support Party   and no affiliate of a Financing Support Party will use confidential information obtained from the   Debtors or the Debtors’ affiliates or on the Debtors’ or their behalf by virtue of the transactions   contemplated hereby in connection with the performance by such Financing Support Party and   its affiliates of services for other companies or persons and such Financing Support Party and its   affiliates will not furnish any such information to any of their other customers.   In addition, please note that the Financing Support Parties and their affiliates do not provide   accounting, tax or legal advice.  Nothing in this commitment letter creates or shall be construed   to create a fiduciary, financial advisory or similar relationship between the Financing Support   Parties or their affiliates on the one hand and any of the Debtors, their affiliates or any other   person on the other hand.   No Financing Support Party’s commitments under this commitment letter may be assigned   without the prior written consent of the Debtors signatory hereto.  Notwithstanding the     





 







            foregoing, a Financing Support Party may without consent employ the services of its affiliates in   providing services contemplated hereby, and to satisfy its obligations hereunder through, or   assign its rights and obligations hereunder to, one or more of its affiliates or funds or accounts   managed by it (collectively, “Financing Support Party Affiliates”); and to allocate, in whole or   in part, to its affiliates certain fees payable to such Financing Support Party in such manner as   such Financing Support Party and the Financing Support Party Affiliate may agree in their sole   discretion; provided that, no delegation or assignment to a Financing Support Party Affiliate   shall relieve such Financing Support Party from its obligations hereunder to the extent that any   Financing Support Party Affiliate fails to satisfy the commitments hereunder at the time required.   Without limiting the conditions to the Financing Support Parties’ commitment to provide the   Exit Facility as set forth in this comment letter, the offer made by the Financing Support Parties   in this letter shall expire, unless otherwise agreed by the Financing Support Parties in writing,   upon the earlier of (i) 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on December 2, 2015, unless prior thereto   the Financing Support Parties have received (A) a copy of this commitment letter, signed by the   Debtors accepting the terms and conditions of this commitment letter and the Term Sheet, and   (B) an order of the Bankruptcy Court, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the   Majority Financing Support Parties, authorizing the Debtors to deliver a signed copy of this   commitment letter to the Financing Support Parties (it being understood that the Debtors’   obligation to pay all amounts in respect of indemnification, the Put Option Premium and   Expenses shall survive termination of this commitment letter).   This commitment letter, including the Term Sheet (which is incorporated herein by reference),   (i) supersedes all prior discussions, agreements, commitments, arrangements, negotiations or   understandings, whether oral or written, of the parties with respect thereto, (ii) shall be governed   by the law of the State of New York and the Bankruptcy Code, to the extent applicable, (iii) shall   be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and assigns, (iv) may not be relied   upon or enforced by any other person or entity, and (v) may be signed in multiple counterparts   and delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., “pdf” or “tif”), each of which   shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same   instrument. If this commitment letter becomes the subject of a dispute, each of the parties hereto   hereby waives trial by jury. This commitment letter may be amended, modified or waived only   in a writing signed by each of the parties hereto.   [Remainder of page intentionally blank]

(“GT Inc”) and each of its direct and indirect   subsidiaries that are or have become debtors (each a “Debtor” and, collectively, the “Debtors” or   the “Company”)2 by commencing cases under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code   (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of New   Hampshire (the “Bankruptcy Court”).   This Term Sheet sets forth certain of the principal terms for a plan of reorganization for   the Company (the “Plan”), which Plan has the support of the Financing Support Parties (defined   below), certain lenders under that the Senior Secured Superpriority Debtor-In-Possession Credit   Agreement, dated July 27, 2015 (the “DIP Facility”) that are also holders of the 3% Convertible   Senior Notes issued by GT Inc (the “Notes”), and certain other holders of claims against one or   more of the Debtors (collectively, the “Consenting Parties”). The Consenting Parties and the   claims they hold as of the date of this Term Sheet are listed on Schedule 1 to this Term Sheet.   This Term Sheet does not include a description of all of the terms, conditions and other   provisions that are to be contained in the definitive documentation necessary for the   consummation of the Plan and the transactions contemplated therein, which remain subject to   discussion and negotiation in good faith between and among the Debtors, the official committee   of unsecured creditors of the Debtors (the “Committee”), and the Consenting Parties.  Subject to   the preceding sentence, the Committee is one of the parties to this Term Sheet.   This Term Sheet has been prepared for settlement discussion purposes and shall not   constitute an admission of liability by any party, nor be admissible in any action relating to any   of the subject matter addressed herein other than to enforce the terms thereof.  This Term Sheet   shall not constitute an offer to sell or buy, nor the solicitation of an offer to sell or buy, any of the   securities referred to herein, or the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of a chapter 11 plan.    Any such offer or solicitation shall only be made in compliance with all applicable laws.    Further, nothing herein shall be an admission of fact or liability.                                                    1 For the avoidance of doubt, the “Term Sheet” shall include any exhibits annexed hereto.  The Term Sheet has been amended by that that certain letter from Dennis L. Jenkins, dated as of December 4, 2015, concerning the sale of ASF Furnaces (the “Letter Amendment”).  The Letter Amendment has not been submitted to the Court with this   Term Sheet because it contains confidential information not suitable for public disclosure.

The Debtors intend to voluntarily prepay $45.0 million of outstanding loans under the DIP   Facility pursuant to Section 2.05(a) of the DIP Facility.  The principal amount of the   outstanding loans actually prepaid by the Debtors shall be referred to herein as the “DIP   Prepayment Amount”).  For the avoidance of doubt, such prepayment will be made two   days after the entry by the Bankruptcy Court of an order approving the DIP Amendment.    The voluntary prepayment shall be paid with a premium equal to 2.0% of the DIP   Prepayment Amount, payable in cash (the “DIP Prepayment Fee”), provided that half the   DIP Prepayment Fee shall be paid upon the closing of the DIP Amendment and the other   half shall be payable upon the earlier of (i) the Effective Date (as defined in the Plan Term   Sheet to which this Exhibit is attached) and (ii) payoff in full of the DIP Facility.   Generally, the DIP Amendment will provide that the DIP Lenders (a) consent to the   Debtors’ entry into the revised Apple Settlement (the “Revised Apple Settlement”) and (b)   agree to waive any and all breaches, defaults or Events of Default that may occur as a   result of the Debtors’ entry into, and performance under, the Revised Apple Settlement.    Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning set forth in   the Revised Apple Settlement or the DIP Facility, as applicable.  In addition, the DIP   Lenders agree to the below enumerated amendments and waivers.   Summary Terms of DIP Amendment & Waiver   1. Definitions   o Each of the “Apple Claim”, “Apple Reduced Repayment Amount”, “Apple   Repayment Amount”, “Apple Settlement Agreement” and “Apple Security Interest”   definitions to be deleted or modified to reflect the new sharing arrangement with   Apple under the Revised Apple Settlement with corresponding changes to be made   throughout the document where such definitions are used.   o “Intercompany Agreement” definition to be amended to reflect any modifications to   the Intercompany Agreement made in connection with the Revised Apple Settlement.   2.
