	 	(a)	 is a Consenting Support Party; 

 

	 	(b)	 is a Consenting Support Party Related Fund, provided that such transferee shall be deemed
to become a Consenting Support Party and to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement applicable to Consenting Support Parties (which obligations may be enforced against such transferee by the Parties); or 

 

	 	(c)	 before such Transfer, agrees in writing for the benefit of the Parties to become a Consenting Support Party and

be a Subsequent Consenting Support Party hereunder to the extent of such transferred rights and obligations. 

 Each Consenting Support
Party agrees that any Transfer of any Claims and Interests that does not comply with the terms and procedures set forth herein shall be deemed void ab initio, and each other Party shall have the right to enforce the voiding of such Transfer.

 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Consenting Support Party may Transfer Claims and Interests 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 

  
 9 

 
become an entity identified in Sections 4.02(a) or (b) hereof (a “Permitted Transferee”) or a Subsequent Consenting Support Party; provided that
the Qualified Marketmaker subsequently Transfers the right, title or interest to such Claims and Interests to a transferee that is a Permitted Transferee or becomes a Subsequent Consenting Support Party as provided herein and the Transfer
documentation between the transferor and such Qualified Marketmaker shall contain a requirement that provides for such; provided, further, that if a Consenting Support Party is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may
Transfer any Claims and Interests that it acquires from a holder of such Claims and Interests that is not a Consenting Support Party without the requirement that the transferee be a Permitted Transferee or become a Subsequent Consenting Support
Party.
 If at the time of a proposed Transfer of any Claims and Interests to a Qualified Marketmaker, such Claims and Interests: (x) may be voted or
consent solicited with respect to a Transaction, then the proposed transferor must first vote or consent such claims or interests in accordance with Section 4.01, or (y) have not yet been and may yet be voted or
consent solicited with respect to a Transaction and such Qualified Marketmaker does not Transfer such claims to a Permitted Transferee or a Subsequent Consenting Support Party before the third business day before the expiration of an applicable
voting or consent deadline (such date, the “Qualified Marketmaker Joinder Date”), such Qualified Marketmaker shall be required to (and the Transfer documentation to the Qualified Marketmaker shall have provided that it shall), on
the first business day immediately after the Qualified Marketmaker Joinder Date, become a Subsequent Consenting Support Party with respect to such claims or interests in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, further, that the

acquired by such Party from a Consenting Support Party, a Sponsor, or any other Person will be subject to this Agreement (other than with respect to any Term Loans, IPCo Notes, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Common Stock, or

 Section 7.06    Individual Termination. Any individual
Consenting Support Party may terminate this Agreement, as to itself only, by the delivery to the Company, the Initial Consenting Support Parties, and the Sponsors of a written notice, in accordance with Section 21 hereof,
upon the occurrence and continuation of any of the following events (each, an “Individual Termination Event”): 

(a)    this Agreement or the Plan is amended without its consent in such a way as to alter any of the economic terms
hereof or thereof in a manner that is disproportionately adverse to such Consenting Support Party as compared to similarly situated Consenting Support Parties; 

(b)    this Agreement or the Plan is amended without its prior written consent in a manner that adversely affects the
economic treatment of such Consenting Support Party’s claims under the Plan compared to the economic treatment set forth in the Transaction Term Sheet or reduces the amount of such Consenting Support Party’s claims under the Plan compared
to the amount of such claims set forth in the Transaction Term Sheet; or 
 (c)    the Plan Effective Date shall not
have occurred by the date that is 200 calendar days after the Petition Date. 
 Section 7.07    Effect of
Termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement that is not limited in its effectiveness to an individual Party or Parties in accordance with this Section 7, this Agreement will forthwith become void and of no
further force or effect and each Party will, except as provided otherwise in this Agreement, be immediately released from its liabilities, obligations, commitments, undertakings and agreements under or related to this Agreement and will have all the
rights and remedies that it would have had and will be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Transaction or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement, including all rights and
remedies available to it under applicable law, the Term Loan Agreement, the IPCo Indentures, the certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, and any ancillary documents or agreements thereto;
provided, that in no event will any such termination relieve a Party from liability for its breach or non-performance of its obligations hereunder before the date of such termination. 

Upon a Sponsor Termination Event or Individual Termination Event (the applicable terminating party, the “Terminated Party”), this Agreement
will forthwith become void and of no further force or effect with respect to the Terminated Party, who will, except as provided otherwise in this Agreement, be immediately released from its liabilities, obligations, commitments, undertakings and
agreements under or related to this Agreement and will have all the rights and remedies that it would have had and will be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Transaction or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take
had it not entered into this Agreement, including all rights and remedies available to it under applicable law, the Term Loan Agreement, the IPCo Indentures, the certificate of designation for the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred
Stock, and any ancillary documents or agreements thereto; provided, that (a) in no event will any such termination relieve the Terminated Party from liability for its breach or
non-performance of its obligations hereunder before the date of such termination and (b) this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all Parties other than the Terminated Party.

  
 22 

 Upon any termination of this Agreement, (a) each Consenting Support Party and the Sponsors or
(b) the Terminated Party, as applicable, will be deemed to have automatically revoked and withdrawn its participation in the Transaction (including any ballots submitted or releases granted), without any further action and irrespective of the
expiration or availability of any “withdrawal period” or similar restriction, whereupon any such consents will be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void ab initio and will not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by
the Parties in connection with the Transaction and this Agreement, and the Company agrees not to accept any such consents and to take all action necessary or reasonably required to allow the Consenting Support Parties, Sponsors or Terminated Party,
as applicable, to arrange with its or their custodian and brokers to effectuate the withdrawal of such consents, including the reopening or extension of any withdrawal or similar periods; provided that the revocation and withdrawal
herein will not apply: (a) if the Agreement is terminated upon consummation of the Transaction; (b) to the Consenting Support Parties if the Agreement is terminated as a result of their breach of the Agreement; or (c) to the Sponsors
if the Agreement is terminated as a result of their breach of the Agreement. 
 Section 7.08    Settlement.
This Agreement and the Definitive Documents are part of a proposed settlement of a dispute among certain of the Parties. If the Transactions are not consummated, nothing herein will 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. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto will not be
admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms. 

Section 7.09    Automatic Stay. The Company acknowledges that, after the commencement of the Company’s
chapter 11 cases, the giving of notice of default or termination by any other Party pursuant to this Agreement shall not be a violation of the automatic stay under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, and the Company hereby waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the applicability of the automatic stay as it relates to any such notice being provided; provided that nothing herein shall prejudice any Party’s rights to argue that the giving of notice of default or
termination was not proper under the terms of this Agreement. 
  

	8.	 Additional Documents. 

Section 8.01    Each Party hereby covenants and agrees to cooperate with each other in good faith in connection with,
and will exercise commercially reasonable efforts with respect to, the negotiation, drafting and execution and delivery of the Definitive Documents. In the case of any conflict or inconsistency between the Transaction Term Sheet and any form of or
term sheet for a Definitive Document attached as an exhibit hereto, the terms of the Transaction Term Sheet shall control. 

  
 23 

	9.	 Representations and Warranties. 

Section 9.01    Each Party, severally (and not jointly), represents and warrants to the other Parties that the
following statements are true, correct and complete as of the date hereof (or such later date that such Party first becomes bound by this Agreement) and solely with respect to the Company, subject to any limitations or approvals arising from or
required by the commencement of the Company’s chapter 11 cases: 
 (a)    such Party is validly existing and in

both) a default under any material contractual obligation to which it or any of its subsidiaries is a party, and (iii) in the case of the Company and the Sponsors, conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of
time or both) a default under any contractual obligation to which it or any of its subsidiaries is a party, except, in the case of this clause (iii), for any such conflict, breach or default as would not reasonably be expected to result in a
Material Adverse Effect; 
 (c)    the execution, delivery and performance by such Party of this Agreement does not and

Company’s chapter 11 cases and such filings as may be necessary or required for disclosure by the SEC; and 

(d)    this Agreement is the legally valid and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability or a ruling of a court.

 Section 9.02    Each Consenting Support Party severally (and not jointly), represents and warrants to the other

 24

respect of the Company (including as such terms are defined in section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code) other than as set forth below its name on the signature page; provided that with respect to a Qualified Marketmaker, the requirement to satisfy
this representation and warranty can be waived by the Company in its sole discretion in consultation with advisors for the Consenting Support Parties and Sponsors; 

 

	 	(c)	 (i) is the beneficial owner of the Term Loans, IPCo Notes, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock,

behalf of, such beneficial owners. 

  

	10.	 Disclosure; Publicity. 

Section 10.01    On the Support Effective Date, the Company will disseminate a press release disclosing the existence
of this Agreement and the terms hereof. If the Company fails to make the foregoing disclosures in compliance with the terms specified herein, any Initial Consenting Support Party may publicly disclose the foregoing, including this Agreement (subject
to the redactions called for by this Section 10 hereof), and the Company hereby waives any claims against the Initial Consenting Support Parties arising as a result of such disclosure by an Initial Consenting Support Party
in compliance with this Agreement. 
 Section 10.02    The Company will submit drafts to Milbank and Paul, Weiss of
any press releases, public documents, and any and all filings with the SEC that constitute disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement or any amendment to the terms of this Agreement at least two business days before making any such
disclosure (if practicable, and if two business days before is not practicable, then as soon as practicable but in no event less than 24 hours before making any such disclosure), and will afford them a reasonable opportunity to comment on such
documents and disclosures and will incorporate any such reasonable comments in good faith. Except as required by law or otherwise permitted under the terms of any other agreement between the Company and any Consenting Support Party, no Party or its
advisors will disclose to any person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Consenting Support Party), other than advisors to the Company, the principal amount or percentage of any Term Loans, IPCo Notes, Series A Preferred Stock, Common
Stock, or any other securities of the Company held by any Consenting Support Party, in each case, without such Consenting Support Party’s prior 

  
 25 

 
written consent; provided, that (a) if such disclosure is required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or regulation, the disclosing Party will afford the relevant
Consenting Support Party a reasonable opportunity to review and comment in advance of such disclosure and will take all reasonable measures to limit such disclosure and (b) the foregoing will not prohibit the disclosure of the aggregate
percentage or aggregate principal amount of Term Loans, IPCo Notes, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Common Stock held by all the Consenting Support Parties collectively. Notwithstanding the provisions in this
Section 10, any Party hereto may disclose, if consented to in writing by a Consenting Support Party, such Consenting Support Party’s individual holdings. 

 

	11.	 Amendments and Waivers. 

Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement may not be waived, modified, amended or supplemented except in a writing signed
by the Company and the Requisite Consenting Support Parties; provided that: (i) any waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement to Section 7.06 or this Section 11 shall
require the prior written consent of each Party; (ii) any waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement to the definition of Requisite Consenting Support Parties shall require the prior written consent of each Initial Consenting Support Party;
(iii) any waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement that materially and adversely affects the releases provided to Consenting Support Parties as holders of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock must also be approved by Consenting
Support Parties holding a majority of Series A Preferred Stock or Common Stock, as applicable, outstanding for all Consenting Support Parties; and (iv) any waiver, modification, amendment or supplement that adversely affects the Sponsors shall
require the prior written consent of the Sponsors. Any waiver, modification, amendment, or supplement to any Definitive Document that is in effect in accordance with the terms thereof shall be governed as set forth in such Definitive Document. Any
consent required to be provided pursuant to this Section 11 may be delivered by e-mail from counsel. 
  

	12.	 Effectiveness. 

This Agreement will become effective and binding on (a) the Company, the Initial Consenting Support Parties, and the Sponsors on the date of the Support
Effective Date and (b) any Subsequent Consenting Support Party upon delivery of a validly completed Joinder Agreement and of a signed acknowledgement from the Company to the other Parties; provided that signature pages executed by
Consenting Support Parties will be delivered to (x) other Consenting Support Parties in a redacted form that removes such Consenting Support Party’s holdings of the Term Loans, IPCo Notes, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred
Stock, and Common Stock and (y) the Company, the Sponsors, Weil, Milbank, and Paul, Weiss in an unredacted form (to be held by Weil, Milbank, and Paul, Weiss on a professionals’ eyes only basis and by the Company and the Sponsors on a
confidential basis). 
  

	13.	 GOVERNING LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 

THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICTS OF LAW
PROVISIONS WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE 

  
 26 

 
APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ANY LEGAL ACTION, SUIT OR
PROCEEDING AGAINST IT WITH RESPECT TO ANY MATTER UNDER OR ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT RENDERED IN ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SHALL BE BROUGHT AND DETERMINED IN THE
BANKRUPTCY COURT, FOR SO LONG AS THE COMPANY’S CHAPTER 11 CASES ARE PENDING, AND OTHERWISE IN ANY FEDERAL OR STATE COURT IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, THE CITY OF NEW YORK, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE PARTIES
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS AND SUBMITS ITSELF TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF EACH SUCH COURT, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
  

	14.	 Remedies/Specific Performance. 

All remedies that are available at law or in equity, including specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief, to any Party for a breach of this
Agreement by another Party shall be available to the non-breaching Party (and for the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed by the other Parties that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of
this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party will be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any such breach); provided, that in connection
with any remedy asserted in connection with this Agreement, each Party agrees to waive the requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with any remedy and to waive the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages. All
rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available at law or in equity will be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any remedy, power, or remedy by any Party will not preclude the simultaneous or later
exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party or any other Person. 
  

	15.	 Survival. 

Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 7 hereof, Sections 7.07, 10, and
13–23 will survive such termination and will continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Parties in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that any liability of a Party for failure to
comply with the terms of this Agreement will survive such termination. 
  

	16.	 Headings. 

The headings of the sections, paragraphs and subsections of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and will not affect the interpretation hereof or,
for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Agreement. 

  
 27 

	17.	 Successors and Assigns; Severability; Several Obligations. 

This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. If any provision of this
Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any person or circumstance, will be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability will attach only to such provision or part thereof and the remaining
part of such provision hereof and this Agreement will continue in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon any such
determination of invalidity, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. The agreements, representations and obligations of the Parties are, in all respects, ratable and several and neither joint nor joint and several. 

 

	18.	 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. 

Unless expressly stated herein, this Agreement will be solely for the benefit of the Parties and no other person or entity will be a third-party beneficiary
hereof. The Term Agent will be an express third-party beneficiary solely with respect to Section 4.01(d) of the Agreement, and no other sections or provisions of the Agreement. 

 

	19.	 Prior Negotiations; Entire Agreement. 

This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties, and supersedes all other prior negotiations, with respect to the subject matter hereof, except
that the Parties acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements heretofore executed between the Company and any Consenting Support Party (or any advisor thereto) will continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof. 

 

	20.	 Counterparts.

	22.	 Reservation of Rights; No Admission. 

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict the ability of each of
the Parties (i) to protect and preserve its rights, remedies and interests, including its claims against any of the other Parties (or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries), (ii) purchase, sell, or enter into any transactions in
connection with the Term Loans, IPCo Notes, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Common Stock, (iii) enforce any right under the Term Loan Agreement, subject to the terms hereof, (iv) consult with other Consenting Support
Parties, other holders of Term Loans, IPCo Notes, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Common Stock, or any other Party regarding the Transaction (and not any other Alternative Transaction), or (v) enforce any right, remedy,
condition, consent or approval requirement under this Agreement or in any of the Definitive Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms for any reason (other than consummation of the
Transaction), the Parties each fully and expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, claims, defenses and interests, subject to Sections 7 and 14 in the case of any claim for breach of this Agreement arising
before termination. Each of the Parties denies any and all wrongdoing or liability of any kind and does not concede any infirmity in the claims or defenses which it has asserted or could assert. 

 

	23.	 Relationship among Parties. 

It is understood and agreed that no Consenting Support Party has any duty of trust or confidence in any kind or form with any other Consenting Support Party,
and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, there are no commitments between them. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that any Consenting Support Party may acquire Term Loans, IPCo Notes, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B
Preferred Stock, Common Stock, or other debt or equity securities of the Company without the consent of the Company or any other Consenting Support Party, subject to applicable securities laws and the terms of this Agreement; provided, that,
no Consenting Support Party will have any responsibility for any such acquisition to any other entity by virtue of this Agreement. 
  

	24.	 No Solicitation; Representation by Counsel; Adequate Information. 

Section 24.01    This Agreement is not and will not be deemed to be a solicitation to tender or exchange any of the
Term Loans, IPCo Notes, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, or Common Stock. Each Party acknowledges that it has had an opportunity to receive information from the Company and that it has been represented by counsel, including with
respect to tax matters, in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. 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 will have no application and is expressly waived. 

  
 30 

 Section 24.02    Although none of the Parties intends that this
Agreement should constitute, and they each believe it does not constitute, an offering of securities, each Consenting Support Party acknowledges, agrees, and represents to the other Parties that it (a) is (i) an “accredited institutional
investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), or (7) under the Securities Act and/or (ii) a “qualified institutional buyer” as such term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act, (b) understands
that any securities to be acquired by it pursuant to the Transaction have not been registered under the Securities Act and that such securities are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act,
based in part upon such Consenting Support Party’s representations contained in this Agreement, and cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available, and (c) has such
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Consenting Support Party is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the securities to be acquired by it pursuant to the Transaction and understands and is able to bear any
economic risks with such investment. 
 Section 24.03    Each Consenting Support Party acknowledges that it is
acquiring any New Equity Allocation and New Warrants for investment purposes and solely for its own account, or for the accounts of the beneficial owners for whom it acts as investment advisor or manager, and not with a view to, or for resale of
such securities in violation of the Securities Act. Such Consenting Support Party will not resell, transfer, assign or distribute the New Equity Allocation and New Warrants acquired by it pursuant hereto except, if applicable, in compliance
with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to an available exemption therefrom. The financial situation of such Consenting Support Party (and each beneficial owner for whom it acts as investment advisor or manager) is
such that it can afford to bear the economic risk of holding any New Equity Allocation and New Warrants. Such Consenting Support Party (and each beneficial owner for whom it acts as investment advisor or manager) can afford to suffer the
complete loss of its investment in any New Equity Allocation and New Warrants. The knowledge and experience of such Consenting Support Party in financial and business matters is such that it, together with the assistance of its advisors, is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of acquiring any New Equity Allocation and New Warrants. Such Consenting Support Party acknowledges that (a) the offers of New Equity Allocation and New Warrants have not been registered under the
Securities Act; (b) the offers of New Equity Allocation and New Warrants are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or an available exemption; and (c) there
is no established market for the New Common Shares and there may not be any public market for such securities in the future. 
  

	25.	 Payment of Fees and Expenses. 

The Company shall pay and reimburse promptly all reasonable and documented fees and
out-of-pocket expenses, to the extent invoiced and subject to and in accordance with the terms of any applicable engagement letter or fee letter or as otherwise agreed
between the Company and the applicable party or professional, as the case may be, of (a) Milbank, as counsel to the ad hoc committee of crossholder creditors (the “Ad Hoc Committee”), (b) Tavenner & Beran, PLC, as
local counsel to the Ad Hoc Committee, (c) PJT Partners, Inc. (“PJT”), as financial advisor to the Ad Hoc Committee, (d) the Term Agent and Seward & Kissel LLP, as counsel to the Term Agent, (e) Paul, Weiss,
as counsel to TPG, and (f) Whiteford Taylor Preston, LLP as local 

  
 31 

 
counsel to TPG (collectively, the “Transaction Expenses”); provided, that to the extent that this Agreement is terminated in accordance with
Section 7 hereof, the Company’s reimbursement obligations under this Section 25 shall survive with respect to any and all Transaction Expenses incurred on or before the date of termination and
such termination shall not automatically terminate any applicable fee or engagement letters. Before the Petition Date, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to pay any reasonable and documented Transaction Expenses accrued and
outstanding as of the Petition Date. 

  
 32 

 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed and
delivered by their respective duly authorized officers, solely in their respective capacity as officers of the undersigned and not in any other capacity.

which this Term Sheet is attached as Exhibit A (the “TSA”).1 
 THIS
TERM SHEET DOES NOT CONSTITUTE (NOR WILL IT BE CONSTRUED AS) AN OFFER WITH RESPECT TO ANY SECURITIES OR A SOLICITATION OF ACCEPTANCES OR REJECTIONS AS TO ANY CHAPTER 11 PLAN OF REORGANIZATION, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD THAT SUCH A SOLICITATION, IF ANY,
ONLY WILL BE MADE IN COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF SECURITIES, BANKRUPTCY AND OTHER APPLICABLE LAW. 
 UNLESS OTHERWISE SET FORTH HEREIN, TO THE
EXTENT THAT ANY PROVISION OF THIS TERM SHEET IS INCONSISTENT WITH THE TSA, THE TERMS OF THIS TERM SHEET WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROVISION SHALL CONTROL. 
  

			
	 
	Material Terms of the Transaction
	 	 
	Term	 	Description
	 	 
	Overview of the Transaction	 	 This Term Sheet contemplates a Transaction with
respect to Chinos Holdings, Inc. and certain of its wholly-owned direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries identified on Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Debtors” and after emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, the
“Reorganized Debtors”).2
  

The Debtors will consummate the transactions set forth in this Term Sheet, which include the Debtors filing voluntary petitions for relief under the Bankruptcy
Code (the date of commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, the “Petition Date”) and obtaining confirmation from the Bankruptcy Court of a prearranged chapter 11 plan consistent with this Term Sheet (the “Plan”) in
accordance with the TSA.
  
 The initial parties to the TSA will be:

 
 (a)   the Debtors;

 
 (b)   the Initial Consenting
Support Parties (as defined in the TSA); and

The Backstop Parties will receive, in the allocations set forth in Schedule I to the Backstop Commitment Letter, a backstop premium (the “Backstop

ARTICLE II 
 The
Commitments and Credit Extensions 
 SECTION 2.01.    Commitment. 

(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Bankruptcy Court DIP Orders, each Lender severally
agrees to make on each applicable borrowing date, a Loan to the Borrower denominated in Dollars equal to such Lender’s Initial Commitment. The Lenders shall make two Credit Extensions in respect of their Initial Commitments that shall consist
of (i) loans (the “Interim Loans”) on the Closing Date in an aggregate principal amount equal to $110,000,000 (the “Interim Loan Amount”), which shall be made by each Lender in accordance with its respective
Pro Rata Share of the Interim Loan Amount, and (ii) loans (the “Final Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $145,000,000 (the “Final Loan Amount”) on the Final Loan Date, which shall be made by each
Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share of the Final Loan Amount. The Initial Commitments in respect of the Interim Loans shall terminate automatically after the making of the Interim Loans on the Closing Date, and the Initial
Commitments in respect of the Final Loans shall terminate automatically after the making of the Final Loans on the Final Loan Date. Proceeds of the Loans shall be deposited into the DIP Funding Account by the Administrative Agent. 

(b)    Each Lender as of the Closing Date and the Borrower hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) each Prepetition
Term Lender that is not a Backstop Lender and that is a party to the Transaction Support Agreement (in such capacity, an “Electing Term Lender”) may participate with the other Electing Term Lenders to provide its pro rata
portion of 38.3% of the Facility and the Exit Term Loans (the “Term DIP Portion”) and (ii) each Prepetition IPCo Noteholder that is not a Backstop Lender and that is a party to the Transaction Support Agreement (in such
capacity, an “Electing IPCo Noteholder” and, together with the Electing Term Lenders, the “Electing DIP Term Lenders”) may participate with the other Electing IPCo Noteholders to provide its pro rata portion
of 11.7% of the Facility and the Exit Term Loans (the “IPCo DIP Portion”), in each case, by executing an election joinder in the form of Exhibit M-1 (for Electing Term Lenders) or
Exhibit M-2 (for Electing IPCo Noteholders) no later than the Election Deadline. Such participation shall be on a pro rata basis in accordance with (x) for Electing Term Lenders, the proportion of
(1) the obligations under the Prepetition Term Credit Agreement owed to each such Prepetition Term Lender to (2) the obligations owed to all Prepetition Term Lenders under the Prepetition Term Credit Agreement on the Election Deadline, as
applicable, of the Term DIP Portion and (y) for Electing IPCo Noteholders, the proportion of (1) the obligations under the Prepetition IPCo Indentures owed to each such Prepetition IPCo Noteholder to (2) the obligations owed to all
Prepetition IPCo Noteholders under the Prepetition IPCo Indentures on the Election Deadline, as applicable, of the IPCo DIP Portion. Each such Electing DIP Term Lender shall become a Lender on the day that is five (5) Business Days after the
Election Deadline (the “Electing DIP Term Lender Funding Date”) upon the funding by such Electing DIP Term Lender of its Initial Loans and the provision by such Electing DIP Term Lender of a Commitment, of its applicable amount,
upon which Schedule 2.01 shall be revised with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to reflect the Commitments of the Electing DIP Term Lenders under the Facility. Each Backstop Lender’s Loans shall be

  
 33 

 
repaid within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such funds and reduced proportionally on the Electing DIP Term Lender Funding Date with all the other Backstop Lenders. Each Electing DIP
Term Lender’s funding of its Loan must be made not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Electing DIP Term Lender Funding Date. 

(c)    It is understood and agreed for the avoidance of doubt that (x) neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party
shall be required to take any action to facilitate (I) the funding by any Electing DIP Term Lender of its Loans hereunder and/or (II) any repayment of any DIP Loan required to effectuate the foregoing other than (1) to facilitate the
posting of notices to the Prepetition IPCo Noteholders or the Prepetition Term Lenders through the IPCo Notes Trustee or the Prepetition Term Agent, as applicable, and (2) consenting to the revisions of Schedule 2.01 as provided above and
(y) in no event shall any transaction contemplated by Section 2.01(b) result in a reduction in the aggregate amount of Commitments or Loans available to the Borrower under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Section 2.01 to the contrary, in no event shall the Administrative Agent have any obligations with respect to the determination of, or funding of, any Commitments or Loans by any Electing DIP Term Lender
or Backstop Lender other than to (i) receive funds from the Electing DIP Term Lenders on the Electing DIP Term Lender Funding Date, (ii) distribute such funds received from the Electing DIP Term Lenders to the Backstop Lenders on a pro
rata basis based on the principal amount of Loans outstanding for each Backstop Lender immediately prior to such funding by the Electing DIP Term Lenders, and (iii) after receipt and distribution of such funds contemplated by (i) and (ii)
above, revise the Register based on a schedule provided to it by the Ad Hoc Committee Advisors and the Loan Parties’ advisors which shall be conclusive and binding on the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. 

(d)    The Borrower may at any time and from time to time after the Final Loan Date request that each Lender fund
additional loans (the “Incremental Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the amount of such Lender’s outstanding Incremental/Exit Commitment. With the consent of the Required Lenders in their sole and absolute
discretion (but without the consent of any other Lender), subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 hereof (it being understood that all references to “the date of such Credit Extension” or similar
language in such Section 4.02 shall be deemed to refer to the borrowing date of such Incremental Loans), each Lender severally agrees to make on the applicable borrowing date (it being understood and agreed that there may
be more than one such borrowing date subject to the provisions of this Section 2.01(d)), an Incremental Loan to the Borrower in Dollars in an amount up to such Lender’s Incremental/Exit Commitment. Each borrowing of
Incremental Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount that is not less than $5,000,000. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) the Incremental Loans shall be provided on the same terms as all other Loans hereunder including,
without limitation, with respect to the Maturity Date and the Applicable Rate and (ii) it is understood and agreed for the avoidance of doubt that each Lender shall be required to provide Incremental Loans in the amount of its Incremental/Exit
Commitment even if it does not consent to the relevant borrowing of Incremental Loans so long as the Required Lenders have consented to the borrowing of such Incremental Loans. Proceeds of the Incremental Loans shall be deposited into the DIP
Funding Account by the Administrative Agent. 
 SECTION 2.02.    The Credit Extensions. 

(a)    Each Credit Extension, each conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent. In order to request any Credit Extension, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by delivery of a written Request for Credit Extension
or by telephone, not later than 11:00 a.m. (i) two (2) Business Days prior to the requested date of such Credit Extension or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or any conversion of Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans and (ii) one
(1) Business Day prior to the requested date of any Credit Extension of Base Rate Loans, or such shorter time as may be agreed between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section
2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by electronic delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written 

  
 34 

 
Request for Credit Extension. Each conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Each
conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Request for Credit Extension shall specify the following information: (i) whether the Borrower is requesting a
Credit Extension, a conversion of Loans from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans, (ii) the date of such Credit Extension, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day), (iii) the
principal amount of Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Loans are to be converted and (v) if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the
Borrower fails to specify a Type of Loan in any Request for Credit Extension or fails to give a timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Loans shall be made as, or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic
conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Eurodollar Rate Loans. If the Borrower requests a Credit Extension of, conversion to, or continuation of
Eurodollar Rate Loans in any such Request for Credit Extension, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one (1) month. 

(b)    Following receipt of any Request for Credit Extension by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly (i) forward such Request for Credit Extension to each Lender, (ii) notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the requested Credit Extension, as applicable, and (iii) if no timely notice of a conversion or
continuation is provided by the Borrower, notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans or continuation of Loans described in Section 2.02(a). In the case of each Credit Extension, each
Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the Administrative Agent (to such account as the Administrative Agent may designate) in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day specified in
the applicable Request for Credit Extension. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Credit Extension is on the Closing Date, Section 4.01), the
Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent by crediting the DIP Funding Account. 

(c)    Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar Rate Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of
an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Loan. Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Required Lenders may require by notice to the Borrower that no Loans may be converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate
Loans. 
 (d)    The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate
applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate Loans upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the Eurodollar Rate by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. At any time when Base
Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in the Prime Rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public announcement of such change. 

(e)    After giving effect to all Credit Extensions, all conversions of Loans from one Type to the other, and all
continuations of Loans as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and the Required Lenders. 

(f)    Subject to Section 4.02, the Borrower may request disbursements from the DIP Funding
Account by delivering to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Withdrawal, not later than 12:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before (or such shorter time as agreed by the Administrative Agent) the proposed date of the applicable
Withdrawal (the “Withdrawal Date”) and no more frequently than one Withdrawal per week; provided that (i) the amount that may be Withdrawn during any calendar week shall not exceed the Withdrawal Weekly Cap
for such week without the consent of the Required Lenders and (ii) the Borrower may request one or more additional Withdrawals in any week if the proceeds of the relevant additional 

  
 35 

 
Withdrawal are applied to (A) cash collateralize any Post-Petition Letter of Credit and/or any Cash Management Services and/or (B) fund the ABL Escrow Account in accordance with the
terms of the Bankruptcy Court DIP Order. On the Withdrawal Date, the Administrative Agent shall disburse funds from the DIP Funding Account in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount specified in such Notice of Withdrawal to the Operating
Account. All proceeds of the Loans shall be held in the DIP Funding Account at all times until such proceeds are disbursed in accordance with this Section 2.02(f) for purposes permitted under
Section 5.18 or applied in accordance with Section 2.10. In no event shall the Administrative Agent have any responsibility or liability with respect to monitoring or determining whether any
Withdrawal request is in compliance with the Withdrawal Weekly Cap and may conclusively rely on a representation of the Borrower in the Notice of Withdrawal that such Withdrawal does not exceed the Withdrawal Weekly Cap. 

With respect to any disbursement, withdrawal, transfer, or application of funds from the DIP Funding Account hereunder, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Request for Credit Extension or Notice of Withdrawal submitted by the Borrower. 

(g)    The failure of any Lender to make the Loan to be made by it as part of any Credit Extension shall not relieve any
other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Loan on the date of such Credit Extension, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Loan to be made by such other Lender on the date of any
Credit Extension. 
 (h)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the date
of any Credit Extension that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Credit Extension, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such Pro Rata Share available to
the Administrative Agent on the date of such Credit Extension in accordance with paragraph (b) above, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall have no obligation to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such
date a corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent shall have so made funds available, then, to the extent that such Lender shall not have made such portion available to the Administrative Agent, each of such Lender and the Borrower severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the
Administrative Agent at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans comprising such Credit Extension and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Overnight Rate plus any administrative, processing, or
similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the foregoing. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this Section 2.02(h)
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount
of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Credit Extension to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Credit Extension.
Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 2.03.    Prepayments. 

(a)    Optional. 

(i)    The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time
voluntarily prepay Loans in whole but not in part without premium or penalty; provided that such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York, New York time) (A) three (3) Business Days prior to
any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans. Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and Type(s) of Loans to be prepaid and the payment amount specified

  
 36 

 
in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Each
prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(a) shall be paid to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 

(ii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower may rescind any
notice of prepayment under Section 2.03(a)(i) if such prepayment was conditioned upon the occurrence of other events, and such other events do not occur. 

(b)    Mandatory. 

(i)     

(A)    If (x) the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries Disposes of any property or assets (other than
any Disposition of any property or assets permitted by Section 7.05(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g), (h), (j), (l), (n), (p), (q), (r) and (t)) or (y) any Casualty Event occurs,
which results in the realization or receipt by the Borrower or such Subsidiary of Net Cash Proceeds, the Borrower shall prepay on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the date of the realization or receipt of such Net Cash
Proceeds, subject to clause (b)(iii) of this Section 2.03, an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds realized or received provided, that no prepayment shall be required pursuant to
this Section 2.03(b)(i)(A) with respect to such portion of such Net Cash Proceeds that the Borrower shall have, on or prior to such date, given written notice to the Administrative Agent of its intent to reinvest in
accordance with Section 2.03(b)(i)(B). 
 (B)    With respect to any Net Cash
Proceeds realized or received with respect to any Disposition consummated in reliance on Section 7.05(i) or any Casualty Event, at the option of the Borrower, the Borrower may reinvest all or any portion of such Net Cash
Proceeds in assets useful for its business within (x) twelve (12) months following receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds or (y) if the Borrower enters into a legally binding commitment to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within twelve
(12) months following receipt thereof, within the later of (1) twelve (12) months following receipt thereof and (2) one hundred and eighty (180) days of the date of such legally binding commitment; provided that if any Net
Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested at any time after delivery of a notice of reinvestment election, and subject to clause (iii) of this Section 2.03(b), an amount equal to any
such Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied within five (5) Business Days after the Borrower reasonably determines that such Net Cash Proceeds are no longer intended to be or cannot be so reinvested to the prepayment of the Loans as set forth in
this Section 2.03. 
 (ii)    If the Borrower or any Subsidiary incurs or
issues any Indebtedness not expressly permitted to be incurred or issued pursuant to Section 7.03, the Borrower shall prepay an aggregate principal amount of Loans equal to 100% of all Net Cash Proceeds received therefrom
on or prior to the date which is five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds. 

(iii)    Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.03(b), (A) to the
extent that any or all of the Net Cash Proceeds of any Disposition by a Foreign Subsidiary giving rise to a prepayment event pursuant to Section 2.03(b)(i) (a “Foreign Disposition”) or the Net Cash Proceeds
of any Casualty Event from a Foreign Subsidiary (a “Foreign Casualty Event”) are prohibited or delayed by applicable local law from being repatriated to the United States, the portion of such Net Cash Proceeds so affected will not
be required to be applied to repay Loans at the times provided in this 

  
 37 

 
Section 2.03(b) but may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary so long, but only so long, as the applicable local law will not permit repatriation to the
United States (the Borrower hereby agreeing to cause the applicable Foreign Subsidiary to promptly take all actions reasonably required by the applicable local law to permit such repatriation), and once such repatriation of any of such affected Net
Cash Proceeds is permitted under the applicable local law, such repatriation will be immediately effected and such repatriated Net Cash Proceeds will be promptly (and in any event not later than two (2) Business Days after such repatriation)
applied (net of additional taxes payable or reserved against as a result thereof) to the repayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section 2.03(b) to the extent provided herein and (B) to the extent that the Borrower has
determined in good faith that repatriation of any of or all the Net Cash Proceeds of any Foreign Disposition or any Foreign Casualty Event would have a material adverse tax cost consequence (taking into account any foreign tax credit or benefit
actually realized in connection with such repatriation) with respect to such Net Cash Proceeds, the Net Cash Proceeds so affected may be retained by the applicable Foreign Subsidiary, provided that, in the case of this clause (B), on or
before the date on which any Net Cash Proceeds so retained would otherwise have been required to be applied to reinvestments or prepayments pursuant to this Section 2.03(b), (x) the Borrower applies an amount equal to such
Net Cash Proceeds to such reinvestments or prepayments as if such Net Cash Proceeds had been received by the Borrower rather than such Foreign Subsidiary, less the amount of additional taxes that would have been payable or reserved against if such
Net Cash Proceeds had been repatriated (or, if less, the Net Cash Proceeds that would be calculated if received by such Foreign Subsidiary) or (y) such Net Cash Proceeds are applied to the repayment of Indebtedness of a Foreign Subsidiary. 

(c)    Interest, Funding Losses, Etc. All prepayments under this Section 2.03 shall be
accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with, in the case of any such prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing in respect of such Eurodollar Rate Loan
pursuant to Section 3.05. 
 SECTION 2.04.    Termination or Reduction of
Commitments. 
 (a)    Optional. The Borrower may, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate
the unused Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce the unused Commitments, in each case without premium or penalty; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the Administrative Agent one (1) Business Day
prior to the date of termination or reduction and (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $5,000,000 or any whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire amount thereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Borrower may rescind or postpone any termination of any Commitment if such termination is conditioned upon the occurrence of other events and such other events do not occur. 

(b)    Mandatory. The Initial Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon
the making of such Lender’s Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(a) (it being understood and agreed that such Lender’s Initial Commitment shall not be reduced to $0 if such Lender fails to fund its Loans in accordance
with Section 2.01(a)). The Incremental/Exit Commitment of each Lender shall be automatically and permanently reduced to $0 upon the making of such Lender’s Loans pursuant to Section 2.01(d) or
upon the Exit Conversion (it being understood and agreed that such Lender’s Incremental/Exit Commitment shall not be reduced to $0 if such Lender fails to fund its Loans in accordance with Section 2.01(d)). 

SECTION 2.05.    Repayment of Loans(c) . The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable account of the Lenders, on the Maturity Date for any Loan, the aggregate principal amount of all Loans outstanding on such date. 

SECTION 2.06.    Interest. 

  
 38 

 (a)    Subject to the provisions of
Section 2.06(b), (i) each Eurodollar Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period
plus the Applicable Rate and (ii) each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing or conversion date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Rate. 
 (b)    The Borrower shall pay interest on past due amounts hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum
at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand. 

(c)    Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at
such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and irrespective of the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law. 

SECTION 2.07.    Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Agents such fees as shall have been separately agreed
upon in the Fee Letter in the amounts and at the times so specified. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever (except as expressly agreed between the Borrower and the applicable Agent). 

SECTION 2.08.    Computation of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be
made on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or
interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion
thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid; provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.10(a), bear interest for one day. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

SECTION 2.09.    Evidence of Indebtedness. 

(a)    The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such
Lender and evidenced by one or more entries in the Register maintained by the Administrative Agent, acting solely for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 5f.103-1(c), as agent for the Borrower, in
each case in the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be prima facie evidence absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the
event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of
manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note payable to such Lender, which shall evidence such Lender’s
Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. 

(b)    Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to
Section 2.09(a), and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to Section 2.09(a), shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due
and payable from the 

  
 39 

 
Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, absent manifest error;
provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 SECTION 2.10.    Payments Generally. 

(a)    Except as provided in Section 2.12 hereof, all payments to be made by the Borrower shall
be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, including in Section 2.12 hereof, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be
made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Office for payment and in Same Day Funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.
The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received
by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. (New York, New York time), shall in each case be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. 

(b)    If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made
on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be. 

(c)    Unless the Borrower has notified the Administrative Agent, prior to the date any payment is required to be made by
it to the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of any Lender, that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has timely made such payment and may (but shall not be so required to), in
reliance thereon, make available a corresponding amount to such Lender. Except as provided in Section 2.12 hereof, if and to the extent that such payment was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds,
then such Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment that was made available to such Lender in Same Day Funds, together with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the
date such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in Same Day Funds at the applicable Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. 

(d)    If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided
in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in
Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest. 

(e)    The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender to make
any Loan on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or purchase its
participation. 
 (f)    Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner. 

(g)    Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is
insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the 

  
 40 

 
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative
Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth in Section 8.03. If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations of the Loan Parties under or in
respect of the Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each of
the Lenders in accordance with such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such of the outstanding Loans or other Obligations then owing to such Lender. 

SECTION 2.11.    Sharing of Payments, Etc. If, other than as expressly provided elsewhere herein, any Lender
shall obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on account of the Loans made by it (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of setoff, or otherwise) in excess of its ratable share (or other share
contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Lender to share the excess payment of principal of or interest on such Loans, pro rata with each of them; provided that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of
the circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay
to the purchasing Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such paying Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the
total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without further interest thereon. For avoidance of doubt, the provisions of
this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant permitted hereunder. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of setoff, but subject to Section 10.09) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the
Borrower in the amount of such participation. The Administrative Agent, to the extent it receives written notification, will keep records (which shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this
Section 2.11 and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this Section 2.11 shall from and after such
purchase have the right to give all notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original
owner of the Obligations purchased. 
 SECTION 2.12.    Conversion of Loans; Implementation.

 (a)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, upon the consummation of the
Approved Plan of Reorganization, subject to the satisfaction, or waiver by the Required Lenders, of the conditions set forth in the Exit Term Loan Facility Term Sheet and this Section 2.12, the Borrower may, in its sole option and discretion
but subject to the Transaction Support Agreement, either (i) repay the Loans hereunder in cash or (ii) convert the Loans hereunder into an exit term loan (the “Exit Conversion”). 

(b)    Upon the Exit Conversion: 

(i)    each Lender, severally and not jointly, hereby agrees to continue or convert its Loans (including
the Incremental Loans) hereunder outstanding on the effective date of the Approved Plan of Reorganization as loans under a credit agreement governing the continuation and conversion of 

  
 41 

 
the Loans (the “Exit Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement”) and related documentation to the extent that such documentation is substantially consistent with the Exit Term Loan
Facility Term Sheet and contains substantially the terms set forth in the Exit Term Loan Facility Term Sheet and is otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders and the agents party thereto; and 

(ii)    subject to Section 2.12(a), the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Loan Parties agree that, upon the effectiveness of the Exit Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement: 

(A)    J. Crew Group, in its capacity as the reorganized “borrower”, Chinos Intermediate Holdings
B, in its capacity as the reorganized “holdings”, and each Subsidiary of J. Crew Group that is a Guarantor, in its capacity as a reorganized Guarantor, shall assume all the Obligations hereunder with respect to the Loans and all other
obligations in respect thereof in the manner set forth in the Exit Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement and/or related loan documents; 

(B)    the Loans hereunder shall be continued or converted, as the case may be, as loans under the Exit
Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement, which loans will be pari passu in right of payment and with respect to security with any “new money” loans provided under the Exit Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement; 

(C)    each Lender hereunder shall be a lender under the Exit Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement in
respect of its Loans continued or converted as the case may be; 
 (D)    each Lender hereunder agrees to
provide its pro rata share of the “new money” loans in an amount not to exceed its Incremental/Exit Commitment provided under the Exit Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement; which Incremental/Exit Commitment shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar by the outstanding principal amount of any Incremental Loans, for an aggregate commitment of $400,000,000 under the Exit Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement;

 (E)    the administrative agent and collateral agent under the Exit Term Loan Facility Credit
Agreement shall be selected by J. Crew Group and the Required Lenders; and 
 (F)    with respect to the
Loans, this Agreement and all Obligations hereunder with respect thereto shall terminate and be superseded and replaced by the Exit Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement. 

(c)    Upon the occurrence of the Exit Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall transfer any amounts remaining in the DIP
Funding Account to J. Crew Group. 
 SECTION 2.13.    Professional Fees Account. The Loan Parties shall
establish, fund, and disburse funds in, the Professional Fees Account in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Court DIP Order. The Professional Fees Account and the funds contained therein from time to time, and the rights and interests
of the applicable parties with respect thereto shall be governed by the provisions of the Bankruptcy Court DIP Order. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
Professional Fees Account and the funds held therein shall (x) not be considered to be property of the Loan Parties or their estates, (y) be held in trust solely for the benefit of the Professional Persons and (z) not be encumbered by
or subject to the Liens securing, or claims related to, the Obligations or granted as adequate protection. 

  
 42 

 ARTICLE III 

Taxes, Increased Costs Protection and Illegality 

Taxes. 

(a)    Except as required by law, any and all payments by the Borrower or any Guarantor to or for the account of any Agent
or any Lender under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees, withholdings or similar charges, and all liabilities
(including additions to tax, penalties and interest) with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Agent and each Lender, (i) taxes imposed on or measured by net income (however denominated, and including branch profits and similar
taxes), and franchise or similar taxes, imposed by the United States, the jurisdiction under the laws of which it is organized or in which its principal office is located or, in the case of any Lender, in which its applicable lending office is
located, (ii) taxes imposed by reason of any present or former connection between such Agent or Lender and any taxing jurisdiction other than a connection arising solely by executing or entering into any Loan Document, receiving payments
thereunder or having been a party to, performed its obligations under, received or perfected a security interest under, engaged in any other transaction pursuant to, sold or assigned an interest in, or enforced, any Loan Documents,
(iii) subject to Section 3.01(e), any U.S. federal tax that is (or would be) required to be withheld with respect to amounts payable hereunder in respect of an Eligible Assignee (pursuant to an assignment under
Section 10.07) on the date it becomes an Eligible Assignee to the extent such tax is in excess of the tax that would have been applicable had such assigning Lender not assigned its interest arising under any Loan Document
(unless such assignment is at the express written request of the Borrower), (iv) any U.S. federal withholding taxes imposed as a result of the failure of any Agent or Lender to comply with the provisions of Sections 3.01(b)
and 3.01(c) (in the case of any Foreign Lender, as defined below) or the provisions of Section 3.01(d) (in the case of any U.S. Lender, as defined below), (v) any taxes imposed on any amount payable to or for the
account of any Agent or Lender as a result of the failure of such recipient to satisfy the applicable requirements under FATCA to establish that such payment is exempt from withholding under FATCA, (vi) amounts excluded pursuant to
Section 3.01(e) hereto, and (vii) penalties and interest on the foregoing amounts (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, assessments, fees,
withholdings or similar charges and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”). If the Borrower or a Guarantor is required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as defined below) from or in respect
of any sum payable under any Loan Document to any Agent or any Lender, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this
Section 3.01(a)), each of such Agent and such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower or Guarantor shall make such deductions,
(iii) the Borrower or Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxing authority, and (iv) within thirty (30) days after the date of such payment (or, if receipts or evidence are not available within thirty
(30) days, as soon as practicable thereafter), the Borrower or Guarantor shall furnish to such Agent or Lender (as the case may be) the original or a facsimile copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof to the extent such a receipt has been
made available to the Borrower or Guarantor (or other evidence of payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent). If the Borrower or Guarantor fails to pay any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing
authority or fails to remit to any Agent or any Lender the required receipts or other required documentary evidence that has been made available to the Borrower or Guarantor, the Borrower or Guarantor shall indemnify such Agent and such Lender for
any incremental Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes that may become payable by such Agent or such Lender arising out of such failure. 

(b)    To the extent it is legally able to do so, each Agent or Lender (including an Eligible Assignee to which a Lender
assigns its interest in accordance with Section 10.07) that is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (each a “Foreign Lender”) agrees to
complete and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which the Agent or Lender (or Eligible Assignee) becomes a party hereto, two (2) accurate and complete signed copies of whichever of the

  
 43 

 
following is applicable: (i) IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E
certifying that it is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party; (ii) IRS Form W-8ECI certifying that the income receivable pursuant to any Loan Document is
effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States; (iii) if the Foreign Lender is not (A) a bank described in Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (B) a
10-percent shareholder described in Section 871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower within the meaning of Section 864(d) of the Code, a
certificate to that effect in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (a “Non-Bank Certificate”) and an IRS Form
W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, certifying that the Foreign Lender is not a United States person; (iv) to the extent a Lender
is not the beneficial owner for U.S. federal income tax purposes, IRS Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms) of the Lender, accompanied by, as and to the extent applicable, a Form
W-8BEN, Form W-8BEN-E, Form W-8ECI, Non-Bank
Certificate, Form W-9, Form W-8IMY (or other successor forms) and any other required supporting information from each beneficial owner (it being understood that a Lender
need not provide certificates or supporting documentation from beneficial owners if (x) the Lender is a “qualified intermediary” or “withholding foreign partnership” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (y) such
Lender is as a result able to establish, and does establish, that payments to such Lender are, to the extent applicable, entitled to an exemption from or, if an exemption is not available, a reduction in the rate of, U.S. federal withholding taxes
without providing such certificates or supporting documentation); or (v) any other form prescribed by applicable requirements of U.S. federal income tax law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding tax
duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable requirements of law to permit the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made. 

(c)    In addition, each such Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, (i) promptly
submit to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) accurate, complete and signed copies of such other or additional forms or certificates (or such successor forms or certificates as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant
taxing authorities) as may then be applicable or available to secure an exemption from or reduction in the rate of U.S. federal withholding tax (A) on or before the date that such Lender’s most recently delivered form, certificate or other
evidence expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, (B) after the occurrence of a change in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most recent form, certificate or evidence previously delivered
by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (C) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, and (ii) promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change
in the Foreign Lender’s circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction. 

(d)    Each Agent or Lender that is a “United States person” (within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) (each a “U.S. Lender”) agrees to complete and deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) copies of accurate, complete and signed IRS Form
W-9 or successor form certifying that such Agent or Lender is not subject to United States backup withholding tax (i) on or prior to the Closing Date (or on or prior to the date it becomes a party to this
Agreement), (ii) on or before the date that such form expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, (iii) after the occurrence of a change in the Agent’s or Lender’s circumstances requiring a change in the most
recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and (iv) from time to time thereafter if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. 

(e)    Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary (but subject to the succeeding sentence), if a Lender,
Eligible Assignee or Agent is subject to any U.S. federal tax that is (or would be) required to be withheld with respect to amounts payable hereunder at a rate in excess of zero percent at the time such Lender, Eligible Assignee or Agent becomes a
party to this Agreement or otherwise acquires an interest in any Loan, or pursuant to a law or other legal requirement in effect at such time (including a law with a delayed effective date), such tax (including additions to tax, penalties and
interest imposed with respect to such tax) shall be considered excluded from Indemnified Taxes (unless and until such time as such Lender, Eligible Assignee or Agent subsequently provides forms and certifications that establish to the reasonable
satisfaction of Borrower 

  
 44 

 
and the Administrative Agent that such Lender, Eligible Assignee or Agent is subject to a lower rate of tax, at which time tax at such lower rate (including additions to tax, penalties and
interest imposed with respect to such tax) shall be considered so excluded for periods during which such forms and certifications remain valid and are sufficient, under the law in effect at the time such forms and certifications are provided
(including any law with a delayed effective date), to establish that such Lender, Eligible Assignee or Agent is subject to such lower rate of tax) except, in the case of an Eligible Assignee, to the extent the Lender’s assignor was entitled to
additional amounts or indemnity payments immediately prior to the assignment (unless such assignment is made at the express written request of the Borrower). Further, the Borrower shall not be required pursuant to this
Section 3.01 to pay any additional amount to, or to indemnify, any Lender, Eligible Assignee or Agent, as the case may be, to the extent that such Lender, Eligible Assignee or Agent becomes subject to Indemnified Taxes
subsequent to the Closing Date (or, if later, the date such Lender, Eligible Assignee or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement or otherwise acquires an interest in any Loan) solely as a result of a change in the place of organization or place of
doing business of such Lender, Eligible Assignee or Agent (or any applicable beneficial owner), a change in the Lending Office of such Lender or Eligible Assignee (or any applicable beneficial owner) (other than at the written request of the
Borrower to change such Lending Office), a change that results in such Lender or Eligible Assignee (or any applicable beneficial owner) being described in clauses (A), (B) or (C) of Section 3.01(b)(iii) or otherwise as
a result of any change in the circumstances of such Lender, Eligible Assignee or Agent, other than a Change in Law, occurring after the date that such Lender, Eligible Assignee or Agent becomes a party to this Agreement or otherwise acquires an
interest in any Loan. 
 (f)    The relevant Loan Parties agree to pay any and all present or future stamp, court or
documentary taxes and any other excise, property, intangible or mortgage recording taxes or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made under any Loan Document or from the execution, delivery, performance, enforcement or registration
of, or otherwise with respect to, any Loan Document (including additions to tax, penalties and interest related thereto) excluding, in each case, such amounts that result from an Assignment and Assumption, grant of a participation, transfer or
assignment to or designation of a new applicable Lending Office or other office for receiving payments under any Loan Document, except to the extent that any such change is requested in writing by the Borrower (all such non-excluded taxes described in this Section 3.01(f) being hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”). 

(g)    If any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes are directly asserted against any Agent or Lender with respect to any
payment received by such Agent or Lender in respect of any Loan Document, such Agent or Lender may pay such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes and the Loan Parties will promptly indemnify and hold harmless such Agent or Lender for the full amount of
such Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes (and any Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.01), and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not
such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted. Payments under this Section 3.01(g) shall be made within ten (10) days after the date Borrower receives written demand for payment
from such Agent or Lender. 
 (h)    A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under
Section 3.01 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower’s prior written consent. 
 (i)    If the Borrower determines in good faith that a reasonable basis exists
for contesting any taxes for which indemnification has been demanded hereunder, the relevant Lender or the relevant Agent, as applicable, shall cooperate with the Borrower in a reasonable challenge of such taxes if so requested by the Borrower,
provided that (a) such Lender or Agent determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be prejudiced by cooperating in such challenge, (b) the Borrower pays all related expenses of such Agent or Lender and (c) the
Borrower indemnifies such Lender or Agent for any liabilities or other costs incurred by such party in connection with such challenge. 

  
 45 

 (j)    If any Agent or any Lender determines, in its reasonable
discretion, that it has received or is entitled to receive a refund in respect of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower or Holdings, as the case may be or with respect to which the Borrower or
Holdings, as the case may be has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.01, it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such refund (to the extent not yet received) (provided that doing so
would not otherwise materially disadvantage the Agent or Lender) and it shall promptly remit such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower or Holdings, as the case may be under this
Section 3.01 with respect to the Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Agents or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower or Holdings, as the case may be, upon the request of any
Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower or Holdings, as the case may be (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Agent or such Lender in the event the
Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. The relevant Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, shall provide the Borrower with a copy of any notice of assessment or other evidence reasonably available of
the requirement to repay such refund received from the relevant Governmental Authority (provided that such Lender or the Administrative Agent may delete any information therein that such Lender or the Agent deems confidential in its
reasonable discretion). This subsection shall not be construed to require the Agents or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it reasonably deems confidential) to the Borrower,
Holdings or any other Person. 
 (k)    Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to the
operation of Section 3.01(a) or (g) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use commercially reasonable efforts (subject to legal and regulatory restrictions) to mitigate the effect
of any such event, including by designating another Lending Office for any Loan affected by such event and by completing and delivering or filing any tax-related forms which such Lender is legally able to
deliver and which would reduce or eliminate any amount of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes required to be deducted or withheld or paid by the Borrower; provided that such efforts are made at the Borrower’s expense and on terms that, in the
reasonable judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its Lending Office(s) to suffer no material economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided further that nothing in this Section 3.01(k) shall affect or
postpone any of the Obligations of the Borrower or the rights of such Lender pursuant to Section 3.01(a) or (g). 

(l)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may deduct and
withhold any taxes required by any Laws to be deducted and withheld from any payment under any of the Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.01. 

(m)    With respect to any Lender’s claim for compensation under this Section 3.01, the
Borrower shall not be required to compensate such Lender for any amount incurred more than one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the event that gives rise to such claim; provided that,
if the circumstance giving rise to such claim is retroactive, then such 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof. 

(n)    The agreements in this Section 3.01 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 SECTION 3.02.    Illegality. If any
Lender reasonably determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by
reference to the Eurodollar Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate or Adjusted Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or
sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Eurodollar

  
 46 

 
Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Loans the
interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be reasonably determined by the
Required Lenders without reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer
exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Credit Extension of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans and shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be reasonably determined by the Required
Lenders without reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans to such day, or immediately,
if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component of the Base
Rate with respect to any Base Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the
Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued
interest on the amount so prepaid or converted. 
 SECTION 3.03.    Inability to Determine Rates. If the
Required Lenders reasonably determine that for any reason in connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank
eurodollar market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan (in each case with respect to this clause (a), “Impacted Loans”), (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining the
Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed Eurodollar Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan then the Required Lenders shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent will thereafter promptly so notify the
Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Adjusted
Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes
such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Credit Extension of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request
for a Credit Extension of Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Required Lenders have
made the determination described in clause (a) of this Section 3.03, the Required Lenders, in consultation with the Borrower and the affected Lenders, may establish an alternative interest rate for the Impacted Loans
(it being understood and agreed that in no event shall such alternative rate be any higher than the Base Rate at such time and any such rate must be administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent), in which case, such alternative rate of
interest shall apply with respect to the Impacted Loans until (1) the Administrative Agent revokes the notice delivered with respect to the Impacted Loans under clause (a) of the first sentence of this Section or (2) the Required
Lenders notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that such alternative interest rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding the Impacted Loans. 

SECTION 3.04.    Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans(a)
. 

  
 47 

 (a)    Increased Costs Generally. If any Change
in Law shall: 
 (i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan,
insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender; 

(ii)    subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any
Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and any taxes and other amounts described in clauses
(i) through (vii) of the first sentence of Section 3.01(a) that are imposed with respect to payments for or on account of any Agent or any Lender under any Loan Document, and except for Other Taxes); or 

(iii)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense affecting
this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans made by such Lender that is not otherwise accounted for in the definition of Adjusted Eurodollar Rate or this clause (a); 

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by
reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other
amount) then, from time to time within fifteen (15) days after demand by such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail such increased costs (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower will pay to such Lender such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 

(b)    Capital Requirements. If any Lender reasonably determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or
any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding
company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by it to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the charge and the calculation
of such reduced rate of return (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent),the Borrower will pay to such Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company
for any such reduction suffered. 
 (c)    Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender setting
forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 3.04 and delivered to the Borrower
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof. 

(d)    Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3.04 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than one hundred and eighty (180) days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in
Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof). 

  
 48 

 SECTION 3.05.    Funding Losses. Upon written demand of any
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any
loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of: 
 (a)    any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any
Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise); 

(b)    any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow,
continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or 

(c)    any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day prior to the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a
result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.07; 
 including any loss or expense (excluding loss of
anticipated profits or margin) actually incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained. 

SECTION 3.06.    Matters Applicable to All Requests for Compensation. 

(a)    Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under
Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a
notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another
of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in
the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be
disadvantageous to such Lender in any material economic, legal or regulatory respect 
 (b)    Suspension of Lender
Obligations. If any Lender requests compensation by the Borrower under Section 3.04, the Borrower may, by notice to such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), suspend the obligation of such Lender to make or
continue Eurodollar Rate Loans from one Interest Period to another Interest Period, or to convert Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans, until the event or condition giving rise to such request ceases to be in effect (in which case the
provisions of Section 3.06(c) shall be applicable); provided that such suspension shall not affect the right of such Lender to receive the compensation so requested. 

(c)    Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans. If any Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 hereof that gave rise to the conversion of such Lender’s Eurodollar Rate Loans no longer exist (which such Lender
agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when Eurodollar Rate Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically converted, on the first day(s) of the next
succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding Eurodollar Rate Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal
amounts, interest rate basis, and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 

  
 49 

 SECTION 3.07.    Replacement of Lenders under Certain
Circumstances. If (i) any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04 or ceases to make Eurodollar Rate Loans as a result of any condition described in Section 3.02 or
Section 3.04, (ii) the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, (iii) any Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender or (iv) any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice
to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.07), all of
its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to one or more Eligible Assignees that shall assume such obligations (any of which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment),
provided that: 
 (a)    the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in
Section 10.07(b)(iv); 
 (b)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to
the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and
fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts); 
 (c)    such Lender being replaced pursuant to this
Section 3.07 shall (i) execute and deliver to the Borrower and Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption with respect to such Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans, and (ii) deliver any Notes
evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or Administrative Agent (or a lost or destroyed note indemnity in lieu thereof); provided that the failure of any such Lender to execute an Assignment and Assumption or deliver such Notes shall not render such
sale and purchase (and the corresponding assignment) invalid and such assignment shall, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent of such sale and purchase, be recorded in the Register and the Notes shall be deemed to be canceled upon such
failure; 
 (d)    the Eligible Assignee shall become a Lender hereunder and the assigning Lender shall cease to
constitute a Lender hereunder with respect to such assigned Loans, Commitments and participations, except with respect to indemnification provisions under this Agreement, which shall survive as to such assigning Lender; 

(e)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and 

(f)    such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws. 

In the event that (i) the Borrower or the Administrative Agent has requested that the Lenders consent to a departure or waiver of any provisions of the
Loan Documents or agree to any amendment thereto, (ii) the consent, waiver or amendment in question requires the agreement of each Lender, all affected Lenders or all the Lenders and (iii) the Required Lenders have agreed to such consent,
waiver or amendment, then any Lender who does not agree to such consent, waiver or amendment shall be deemed a “Non-Consenting Lender”. 

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply. 

  
 50 

 SECTION 3.08.    Survival. All of the Borrower’s
obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder and resignation of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent.

was furnished; it being understood and agreed that the information and/or projections included in the Budget are not to be viewed as facts and are subject to significant contingencies (including, without limitation, with respect to the effects of
the COVID-19 Pandemic), many of which are not within the control of the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary, and that projected or estimated information may differ from actual results, and such differences may be
material. On and after the delivery of any Variance Report in accordance with this Agreement, such Variance Report fairly represents, in all material respects, the information covered thereby.

in the same or similar businesses as the Borrower and the Subsidiaries) as are customarily carried under similar circumstances by such other Persons, and will furnish to the Lenders, upon written request from the Administrative Agent, information

 Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been paid in full, to
the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law. 
 ARTICLE IX 

Administrative Agent and Other Agents 

SECTION 9.01.    Appointment and Authority of the Administrative Agent. 

(a)    Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints WSFS to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and each other Loan Document, together with such actions
and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Article IX (other than Sections 9.09 and 9.11) are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral
Agent and the Lenders, and the Borrower shall not have rights as a third party beneficiary of any such provision. 

(b)    The Administrative Agent shall also act as the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders
hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of (and to hold any security interest created by the Collateral Documents for and on behalf of or in trust for) such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding
and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as
Collateral Agent (and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies
thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to all of the same, rights protections, immunities and indemnities afforded to the Administrative Agent (including Section 9.07, as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the
Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to execute any and all documents
(including releases) with respect to the Collateral and the rights of the Secured Parties with respect thereto, as contemplated by and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Collateral Documents and acknowledge and agree that
any such action by any Agent shall bind the Lenders. 
 SECTION 9.02.    Rights as a Lender. Any Person
serving as an Agent (including, for the avoidance of doubt, as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent) hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not
an Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include each Person serving as an Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were
not an Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates
(including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Loan Party or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that no Agent shall be under any obligation to provide such information to them. 

  
 81 

 SECTION 9.03.    Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor any other Agent shall have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents to which it is a party. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, an Agent (including, for
the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent): 
 (a)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary
or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents with reference to any Agent is
not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable Law and instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an
administrative relationship between independent contracting parties; 
 (b)    shall not have any duty to take any
discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that such Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that no Agent shall be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may
expose such Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law; and 
 (c)    shall not,
except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is
communicated to or obtained by any Person serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. 
 The Administrative Agent shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good
faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by the final judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction, in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent
by the Borrower or a Lender. 
 Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Loan Documents, no Agent- Related Person shall be
responsible or liable for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any recital, statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate,
report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default (including, without limitation, compliance with the terms and conditions of Section 10.07(h)(iii)), (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein (other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent) or to inspect the properties, books or records of any Loan
Party or any Affiliate thereof. 
 For purposes of clarity, and without limiting any rights, protections, immunities or indemnities afforded
to the Agent hereunder (including without limitation this Article IX) phrases such as “satisfactory to Agent,” “approved by Agent,” “acceptable to Agent,” “as determined by Agent,” “in Agent’s
discretion,” “selected by Agent,” “elected by Agent,” “requested by Agent,” and phrases of similar import that authorize and permit Agent to approve, disapprove, determine, act or decline to act in its discretion
shall be subject to Agent receiving written direction from the Lenders or Required Lenders, as applicable, to take such action or to exercise such rights. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall require Agent to exercise any discretionary acts.

  
 82 

 The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation (i) to monitor, determine or
verify the unavailability or cessation of LIBOR (or other applicable Benchmark), or whether or when there has occurred, or to give notice to any other transaction party of the occurrence of, any Benchmark Transition Event or Benchmark Replacement
Date, (ii) to select, determine or designate any Benchmark Replacement, or other successor or replacement benchmark index, or whether any conditions to the designation of such a rate have been satisfied, or (iii) to select, determine or
designate any Benchmark Replacement Adjustment, or other modifier to any replacement or successor index, or (iv) to determine whether or what Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes are necessary or advisable, if any, in connection with any of
the foregoing. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any inability, failure or delay on its part to perform any of its duties set forth in this Agreement as a result of the unavailability of LIBOR, including as a result of any inability,
delay, error or inaccuracy on the part of any other transaction party, including without limitation the Required Lenders, the Loan Parties and the Borrowers, in providing any direction, instruction, notice or information required or contemplated by
the terms of this Agreement and reasonably required for the performance of such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any liability for any interest rate published by any publication that is the source for determining the interest rates of
the Loans, including but not limited to Bloomberg (or any successor source ) and the Reuters Screen (or any successor source), or for any rates compiled by the ICE Benchmark Administration or any successor thereto, or for any rates published on any
publicly available source, including without limitation the Federal Reserve Bank of New York’s Website, or in any of the foregoing cases for any delay, error or inaccuracy in the publication of any such rates, or for any subsequent correction
or adjustment thereto. 
 Each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent shall be afforded all of the rights, powers, immunities
and indemnities set forth in this Agreement and in each of the other Loan Documents as if such rights, powers, immunities and indemnities were explicitly set out in each such other Loan Document. 

SECTION 9.04.    Reliance by the Administrative Agent. 

The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the
proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance
with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan or other event that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan or occurrence of such event. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent
accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. 

The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under any Loan Document unless it shall first
receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by
reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document in accordance with a request or consent
of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders; provided that the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or in the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable Law. 

  
 83 

 SECTION 9.05.    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative
Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Documents by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub
agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Agent-Related Persons. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Agent-Related Persons of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent. 

SECTION 9.06.    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders;
Disclosure of Information by Agents. Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or
review of the affairs of any Loan Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have disclosed
material information in their possession. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
appraisal of and investigation into the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to
the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon
any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties. Except for notices,
reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by any Agent herein, such Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects,
operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their respective Affiliates which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person. 

SECTION 9.07.    Indemnification of Agents. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify upon demand the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent
or the Collateral Agent) (to the extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of any Loan Party and without limiting the obligation of any Loan Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each other
Agent-Related Person (solely to the extent any such Agent-Related Person was performing services on behalf of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent) from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by it; provided that
no Lender shall be liable for the payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified Liabilities resulting from such Agent-Related Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by the final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction; provided that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be required by the Loan Documents) shall be deemed to
constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 9.07. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Liabilities, this
Section 9.07 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that 

  
 84 

 
the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower, provided that such reimbursement by the Lenders shall not affect the
Borrower’s continuing reimbursement obligations with respect thereto, provided, further, that the failure of any Lender to indemnify or reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent shall not relieve any other Lender
of its obligation in respect thereof. The undertaking in this Section 9.07 shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent or the
Collateral Agent, as applicable. 
 SECTION 9.08.    No Other Duties; Other Agents, Managers, Etc. Each
Agent hereby agrees to act in its capacity as such upon the express conditions contained herein and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, as applicable. Without limiting the foregoing, none of the Lenders or other Persons so identified
shall have or be deemed to have any agency or fiduciary or trust relationship with any Lender, Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Each Lender acknowledges that it has not relied, and will not rely, on any of the Lenders
or other Persons so identified in deciding to enter into this Agreement or in taking or not taking action hereunder. 

SECTION 9.09.    Resignation of Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent. The Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower at all times other than
during the existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Borrower shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), to appoint a successor, which shall be a Lender or a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such
Lender or bank with an office in the United States or another institution reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty
(30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying
Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Agent shall
continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor of such Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by
or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as
applicable, hereunder and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable,
or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to (i) continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents or (ii) otherwise ensure that the Collateral and Guarantee Requirement is
satisfied, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, and the retiring Administrative Agent or
Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a
successor Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Agent’s resignation hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 10.04 and 10.05 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their
respective Agent-Related Persons in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Agent was acting as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable. 

  
 85 

 SECTION 9.10.    Administrative Agent May File Proofs of
Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and payable
as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise: 

(a)    to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
Loans, and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and 
 (b)    to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; 
 and any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and their respective
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04. 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. 

SECTION 9.11.    Collateral and Guaranty Matters. Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, and each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent agrees that it will: 

(a)    release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any
Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not yet accrued and payable), (ii) at the time the property subject to such Lien is
transferred or to be transferred as part of or in connection with any transfer permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Person other than Holdings, the Borrower or any Guarantors, (iii) subject to
Section 10.01, if the release of such Lien is approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Required Lenders, (iv) if the property subject to such Lien is owned by a Guarantor, upon release of such Guarantor from
its obligations under its Guaranty pursuant to clause (c) below and/or (v) upon the consummation of any Exit Conversion; 

(b)    release or subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral
Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 7.01(i); and 

(c)    release any Subsidiary from its obligations under the Guaranty, if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a
result of a transaction or designation permitted hereunder. 
 Upon request by the Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent at any time, the
Required Lenders will confirm in writing such Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types 

  
 86 

 
or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to this Section 9.11. In each case as specified in this
Section 9.11, the applicable Agent will (and each Lender irrevocably authorizes the applicable Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party
may reasonably request and prepare to evidence the release or subordination of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents, or to evidence the release of such Guarantor from its
obligations under the Guaranty, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.11. 

SECTION 9.12.    Appointment of Supplemental Administrative Agents. 

(a)    It is the purpose of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents that there shall be no violation of any Law of any
jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as agent or trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
and in particular in case of the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or in case the Administrative Agent deems that by reason of any present or future Law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the rights, powers or remedies granted
herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to appoint an additional individual or institution selected by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion as a separate trustee, co-trustee, administrative agent, collateral agent, administrative sub-agent or administrative co-agent (any such additional individual or institution being referred to herein individually as a “Supplemental Administrative Agent” and collectively as “Supplemental Administrative
Agents”). 
 (b)    In the event that the Administrative Agent appoints a Supplemental Administrative Agent
with respect to any Collateral, (i) each and every right, power, privilege or duty expressed or intended by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Administrative Agent with respect
to such Collateral shall be exercisable by and vest in such Supplemental Administrative Agent to the extent, and only to the extent, necessary to enable such Supplemental Administrative Agent to exercise such rights, powers and privileges with
respect to such Collateral and to perform such duties with respect to such Collateral, and every covenant and obligation contained in the Loan Documents and necessary to the exercise or performance thereof by such Supplemental Administrative Agent
shall run to and be enforceable by either the Administrative Agent or such Supplemental Administrative Agent, and (ii) the provisions of this Article IX and of Sections 10.04 and 10.05
that refer to the Administrative Agent shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Administrative Agent and all references therein to the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Administrative Agent and/or such Supplemental
Administrative Agent, as the context may require. 
 (c)    Should any instrument in writing from any Loan Party be
required by any Supplemental Administrative Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to him or it such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower or Holdings, as applicable,
shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. In case any Supplemental Administrative Agent, or a successor thereto, shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Administrative Agent, to the extent permitted by Law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Administrative Agent until the appointment of a
new Supplemental Administrative Agent.

Miscellaneous 

SECTION 10.01.    Amendments, Etc. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by the Borrower or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Required Lenders and the Borrower or the applicable
Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided that, no such amendment,
waiver or consent shall:

mandatory reduction of the Commitments, (iii) the required funding of any Incremental Loan in accordance with Section 2.04(d) or (iv) any modification contemplated by the definition of “Final Loan Date”

 (b)    postpone any date scheduled for, or
reduce the amount of, any payment of principal or interest under Section 2.05 or 2.06 without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, it being understood that the waiver of (or amendment to the
terms of) any mandatory prepayment of the Loans shall not constitute a postponement of any date scheduled for the payment of principal or interest; 

(c)    reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any Loan, or (subject to clause (i) of
the second proviso to this Section 10.01) any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby; provided that only the

(d)    change any provision of Section 2.11 (in a manner that alters the pro rata sharing of
payments contemplated thereby (except in connection with a transaction otherwise permitted under this Agreement)), this Section 10.01 or the definition of “Required Lenders” or “Pro Rata Share” or any
other provision specifying the number of Lenders or portion of the Loans or Commitments required to take any action under the Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby;

Document and (ii) Section 10.07(g) may not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the consent of each Granting Lender all or any part of whose Loans are being funded by an SPC at the time of such amendment,
waiver or other modification. 
 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.01,
guarantees, collateral security documents and related documents executed by Subsidiaries in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent and may be, together

  
 88 

 
with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need to obtain the consent of any other Lender if such amendment or
waiver is delivered in order (i) to comply with local Law or advice of local counsel, (ii) to cure ambiguities or defects or (iii) to cause such guarantee, collateral security document or other document to be consistent with this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, in each case as certified to the Administrative Agent by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower upon which the Administrative Agent may conclusively rely and incur no liability for any actions or omissions
taken or omitted to be taken in reliance thereon.

or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when received; notices and other communications sent by telecopier shall be deemed to have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business hours for the recipient, shall
be deemed to have been given at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient). Notices and other communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent provided in subsection (b) below shall be
effective as provided in such subsection (b). 
 (b)    Electronic Communication.
Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the
Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender, as applicable, has notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving
notices under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to procedures approved by
it, provided that approval of such procedures may be limited to particular notices or communications. 

(c)    Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or communication shall be deemed to
have been sent at the opening of business on the next Business Day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed receipt by the intended recipient at its
e-mail address as described in the foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is available and identifying the website address therefor. 

(d)    The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE”. THE AGENT PARTIES (AS
DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, 

  
 89 

 
AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event
shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Agent-Related Persons (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender, or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses of any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and non-appealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party;
provided, however, that in no event shall any Agent Party have any liability to Holdings, the Borrower, any Lender or any other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual
damages). 
 (e)    Change of Address. Each of Holdings, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent may change its
address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder by
notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone
number, telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on
behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with
such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information”
portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for purposes of United States Federal or state securities laws. 

(f)    Reliance by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and
act upon any notices (including any telephonic Request for Credit Extension) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed
by any other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient, varied from any confirmation thereof. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent each Lender and the Agent-Related Persons of
each of them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Borrower. All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the
Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording. 

SECTION 10.03.    No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to
exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by Law. 

SECTION 10.04.    Attorney Costs and Expenses. The Borrower agrees (a) if the Closing Date occurs, to pay
or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Ad Hoc Committee and the Lenders for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the 

  
 90 

 
preparation, negotiation and execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendment, waiver, consent or other modification of the provisions of hereof and thereof (whether or
not the transactions contemplated thereby are consummated), and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, limited, in the case of Attorney Costs, to the Attorney Costs of Seward & Kissel LLP,
as counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (or any replacement therefor), Milbank LLP, as counsel to the Ad Hoc Committee, one local counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent taken as a whole, in each
relevant jurisdiction and one local counsel for the Ad Hoc Committee in each relevant jurisdiction and (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Ad Hoc Committee Advisors and the Lenders for all reasonable and
documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of any rights or remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents
(including all such costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, and limited, in the case of Attorney Costs, to all Attorney Costs of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Agent taken as a whole, and one counsel to the Lenders taken as a whole (and, if reasonably necessary, one local counsel in any relevant material jurisdiction and, in the event of any conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each
relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Lenders similarly situated taken as a whole)). The agreements in this Section 10.04 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment
of all other Obligations and the resignation or removal of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as applicable. All amounts due under this Section 10.04 shall be paid promptly following receipt by the Borrower
of an invoice relating thereto setting forth such expenses in reasonable detail. The Borrower and each other Loan Party hereby acknowledge that the Administrative Agent and/or any Lender may receive a benefit, including without limitation, a
discount, credit or other accommodation, from any of such counsel based on the fees such counsel may receive on account of their relationship with the Administrative Agent and/or such Lender, including, without limitation, fees paid pursuant to this
Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 SECTION 10.05.    Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower
shall indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Lender and their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, partners, trustees or advisors and other representatives (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements (including Attorney Costs) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against any such Indemnitee in any way relating to or arising out of or in connection with (but limited, in the case of legal fees and expenses, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees, disbursements and other charges of one counsel to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent taken as a whole, one counsel to all Indemnitees other than the Administrative Agent and
the Collateral Agent taken as a whole and, if reasonably necessary, a single local counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and a single local counsel for all Indemnitees other than the Administrative Agent and the Collateral
Agent taken as a whole in each relevant jurisdiction that is material to the interest of such Indemnitee), and solely in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel in each relevant jurisdiction to each group of affected Indemnitees
similarly situated taken as a whole) (a) the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance or administration of any Loan Document or any other agreement, letter or instrument delivered in connection with the transactions contemplated thereby or
the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, (b) any Commitment, Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom, or (c) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property
currently or formerly owned or operated by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or any Environmental Liability arising out of the activities or operations of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, or (d) any
actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory (including any investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any pending or threatened
claim, investigation, litigation or proceeding) and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, demands, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulted from (x) the gross negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee or of any affiliate, director, officer, employee or 

  
 91 

 
agent of such Indemnitee, as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, (y) a material breach of any obligations under any Loan Document by such
Indemnitee or of any Related Indemnified Person as determined by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction or (z) any dispute solely among Indemnitees, other than any claims
against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as an administrative agent, collateral agent or arranger or any similar role under the Facility and other than any claims arising out of any act or omission of the Borrower or any of
its Affiliates. To the extent that the undertakings to indemnify and hold harmless set forth in this Section 10.05 may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any applicable law or public policy,
the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. No Indemnitee shall be liable
for any damages arising from the use by others of any information or other materials obtained through IntraLinks or other similar information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement, nor shall any Indemnitee or any Loan Party have any
liability for any special, punitive, indirect or consequential damages relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or arising out of its activities in connection herewith or therewith (whether before or after the Closing Date) (other than,
in the case of any Loan Party, in respect of any such damages incurred or paid by an Indemnitee to a third party). In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 10.05
applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, stockholders or creditors or an Indemnitee or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnitee is
otherwise a party thereto and whether or not any of the transactions contemplated hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents is consummated. All amounts due under this Section 10.05 shall be paid within twenty
(20) Business Days after written demand therefor. The agreements in this Section 10.05 shall survive the resignation of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, the replacement of any
Lender, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. This Section 10.05 shall not apply to Indemnified Taxes,
or amounts excluded from the definition of Indemnified Taxes pursuant to clauses (i) through (vii) of the first sentence of Section 3.01(a), that are imposed with respect to payments to or for the account of any Agent
or any Lender under any Loan Document, which shall be governed by Section 3.01. This Section 10.05 also shall not apply to Other Taxes or to taxes covered by Section 3.04.

 SECTION 10.06.    Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Agents or any Lender shall be under any
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Loan Parties or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to any Agent or any Lender, or any
Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by such Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery,
the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share of any amount so recovered from or repaid by any Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the applicable
Overnight Rate from time to time in effect. 
 SECTION 10.07.    Successors and Assigns. 

(a)    The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither Holdings nor the Borrower may, except as permitted by Section 7.04, assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection
(b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with 

  
 92 

 
the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of 
subsection (f) of this
Section, or (iv) to an SPC in accordance with the provisions of subsection (g) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent
expressly contemplated hereby, the Agent-Related Persons of each of the Agents and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 

(b)    Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions: 

(i)    Minimum Amounts. 

(A)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s
Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and 

(B)    in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of
the Commitment or, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative
Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $1,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default under
Section 8.01(a) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an
Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining whether such
minimum amount has been met. 
 (ii)    Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be
made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment assigned. Further, each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the Initial
Commitments and the Incremental/Exit Commitments shall be held by such Lender in equal percentages and such Initial Commitments and Incremental/Exit Commitments are “stapled to” each other, and shall be assigned in equal percentages. 

(iii)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent
required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition: 
 (A)    the consent of the
Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a) has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment
is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and 
 (B)    the consent of the
Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender. 

  
 93 

 (iv)    Assignment and Assumption. The parties to
each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive
such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment. The Eligible Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire. All assignments shall be by novation. 

(v)    No Assignments to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made (A) to Holdings, the
Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries or (B) to a natural person. 
 Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to clause (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest
assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its
obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, and the
surrender by the assigning Lender of its Note, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this
subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section. 

(c)    The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the
Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and related interest amounts) of
the Loans, owing to each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall, subject to clause (h) of this Section, be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower,
the Agents and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available
for inspection by the Borrower, any Agent and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. This Section 10.07(c) and Section 2.09 shall be construed so
that all Loans are at all times maintained in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and any related Treasury regulations (or any other relevant or successor provisions of the Code
or of such Treasury regulations). 
 (d)    Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such
Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 (other than clause (d) thereof) that directly affects such Participant. Subject to
subsection (e) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01 (subject to the requirements of 

  
 94 

 
Section 3.01(b) and (c) or Section 3.01(d), as applicable), 3.04 and 3.05 (through the applicable Lender) to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 10.09 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.11 as though it were a Lender. 

(e)    Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such
Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply and does in fact comply with Section 3.01 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall (acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower) maintain a register complying with the requirements of Sections 163(f), 871(h) and 881(c)(2) of the Code and the Treasury regulations issued thereunder relating to the
exemption from withholding for portfolio interest on which is entered the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under this Agreement
(the “Participant Register”). A Lender shall not be obligated to disclose the Participant Register to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that any Loan or other obligation is in registered form
under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name
is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. 

(f)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this
Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from
any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may
grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to provide all or any part of any Loan that such
Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to fund any Loan, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or
otherwise fails to make all or any part of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) neither the grant to any SPC nor the exercise by any SPC of
such option shall increase the costs or expenses or otherwise increase or change the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement (including its obligations under Section 3.01, 3.04 or 3.05), (ii) no SPC
shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender would be liable, and (iii) the Granting Lender shall for all purposes, including the approval of any amendment, waiver or other modification
of any provision of any Loan Document, remain the lender of record hereunder. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Loan were made by such Granting Lender. In
furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or
other senior debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other Person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding under the laws of the United States or any
State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $3,500 (which
processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or any portion of its right to receive payment with 

  
 95 

 
respect to any Loan to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Loans to
any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or Guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC. 

SECTION 10.08.    Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information in accordance with its customary procedures (as set forth below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers,
employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential),
(b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or
regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, provided that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, agrees that it will notify the Borrower as soon as practicable in the event of any such disclosure by such Person
(other than at the request of a regulatory authority) unless such notification is prohibited by law, rule or regulation, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan
Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this
Section 10.08, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective direct or indirect
counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower, (h) to any rating agency when required by it (it being understood that, prior to any
such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender) or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other
than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary
thereof, and which source is not known by such Agent or Lender to be subject to a confidentiality restriction in respect thereof in favor of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower. 

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof
relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary thereof; it being understood that all information received from Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof shall be deemed confidential unless such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as not being
confidential. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so in accordance with its customary procedures if such Person has exercised
the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information. 

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledges that (a) the Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material non-public
information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws. 

SECTION 10.09.    Setoff. Subject to the terms of the Bankruptcy Court DIP Order and the Carve Out, if an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time (upon notice to the Administrative Agent), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to
setoff and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the
credit or the account of the Borrower or any other 

  
 96 

 
Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender
different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such
Lender or its Affiliates may have at Law but subject to the terms of the Bankruptcy Court DIP Order and the Carve Out. Each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application. 

SECTION 10.10.    Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan
Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If any
Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the
interest contracted for, charged, or received by an Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather
than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.

 SECTION 10.11.    Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the
entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the
signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this
Agreement. 
 SECTION 10.12.    Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words
“execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic
signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent
and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic
Transactions Act. 
 SECTION 10.13.    Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and
warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof. Such representations and warranties
have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension or Withdrawal, as applicable, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

 SECTION 10.14.    Severability. If any provision of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired
thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 10.15.    GOVERNING LAW.

THAT THE AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY LOAN PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY
COLLATERAL DOCUMENT OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT. 
 SECTION 10.16.    WAIVER OF VENUE. EACH
PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT

EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER

SECTION 10.19.    Judgment Currency. If, for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court, it is necessary
to convert a sum due hereunder or any other Loan Document in one currency into another currency, the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency
with such other currency on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given. The obligation of the Borrower in respect of any such sum due from it to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or under the other Loan

sum originally due to the Administrative Agent in such currency, the Administrative Agent agrees to return the amount of any excess to the Borrower (or to any other Person who may be entitled thereto under applicable Law). 

SECTION 10.20.    Lender Action. Each Lender agrees that it shall not, and hereby waives any right to, take or
institute any actions or proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for any right or remedy or assert any other Cause of Action against any Loan Party (including the exercise of any right of setoff, rights on account of any banker’s lien or similar
claim or other rights of self-help), or institute any actions or proceedings or any other Cause of Action, or otherwise commence any remedial procedures, against Holdings, the Borrower and/or any of their respective Subsidiaries or parent companies
with respect to any Collateral or any other property of any such Person, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent (provided at the direction of the Required Lenders). The provisions of this
Section 10.20 shall not afford any right to, or constitute a defense available to, any Loan Party with respect to the Administrative Agent’s actions or omissions taken or omitted to be taken pursuant to this
Section 10.20. 
 SECTION 10.21.    Use of Name, Logo, etc.. Each Loan Party
consents to the publication in the ordinary course by Administrative Agent of customary advertising material relating to the financing transactions contemplated by this Agreement using such Loan Party’s name, product photographs, logo or

understanding, that: (i) (A) the services regarding this Agreement provided by the Agent are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Borrower, Holdings and their respective Affiliates, on

incurrence, 

  
 101 

 
dismissal, conversion, act or omission, except with respect to the Carve Out, no costs or expenses of administration which have been or may be incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases or any
conversion of the same or in any other proceedings related thereto, and no priority claims, are or will be prior to or on parity with any claim of the Agents and the Lenders against the Borrower in respect of any Obligation.

	1.	 Commitments: Titles and Roles. 

Each of the Backstop Term Lenders is pleased to confirm its commitment to provide, and hereby commits to provide, severally but not jointly, to the Debtors the
DIP Loans and the New Money Exit Loans. Such commitments shall be allocated to the Backstop Term Lenders in accordance with the percentages set forth in Schedule I hereof opposite each Backstop Term Lender’s name as its “Backstop
Commitment Percentage,” on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Commitment Letter, including, without limitation, Section 4 hereof and Annex A and Annex B attached hereto. Further,
the Backstop Term Lenders agree to a reduction of such commitments as set forth in Section 2 hereof. 
 It is understood and
agreed that to the extent DIP Loans include the funding of the Incremental DIP Loans, the commitments to fund the New Money Exit Loans shall be reduced dollar-for-dollar
and the aggregate commitments for the Incremental DIP Loans and the New Money Exit Loans are $145 million. The aggregate commitments under this Commitment Letter are $400 million in total. 

 

	2.	 Election Procedures 

The parties hereto agree that (i) each Prepetition Term Lender that is not a Backstop Term Lender that is a party to the Transaction Support Agreement (in
such capacity, each an “Electing Term Lender”) may participate with the other Electing Term Lenders to provide its pro rata portion of 38.3% of the DIP
Facility and the New Money Exit Loans (the “Term DIP Portion”) and (ii) each Prepetition IPCo Noteholder that is not a Backstop Term Lender that is a party to the Transaction Support Agreement (in such capacity, each an
“Electing IPCo Noteholder” and, together with the Electing Term Lenders, the “Electing DIP Lenders”) may participate with the other Electing IPCo Noteholders to provide its pro rata portion of
11.7% of the DIP Facility and the New Money Exit Loans (the “IPCo DIP Portion”), in each case by executing a joinder (each, an “Election Joinder”) to the DIP Credit Agreement no later than ten
(10) Business Days (the “Election Deadline”) after the Petition Date (as defined in Annex A). Such participation shall be on a pro rata basis in accordance with (A) the proportion of (1) the
obligations under the Prepetition Term Credit Agreement owed to each such Prepetition Term Lender to (2) the obligations owed to all Prepetition Term Lenders under the Prepetition Term Credit Agreement on the Election Deadline of the Term DIP
Portion and (B) the proportion of (1) the obligations under the Prepetition IPCo Indentures owed to each such Prepetition IPCo Noteholder to (2) the obligations owed to all Prepetition IPCo Noteholders under the Prepetition IPCo
Indentures on the Election Deadline of the IPCo DIP Portion, respectively. Each Electing DIP Lender that elects to participate in the DIP Facility shall be obligated to participate in its ratable portion of the New Money Exit Loans and the
commitments under the New Money Exit Loan will be “stapled to” the DIP Facility and traded in equal percentages. 
 On the fifth Business Day
following the Election Deadline (the “Election Funding Date”), upon the funding by each Electing DIP Lender of its DIP Loans, the DIP Credit Agreement commitment schedules 

  
 2 

 
(including, without limitation, the commitments to the fund the New Money Exit Loans) will be revised to reflect the commitments of the Electing DIP Lenders under the DIP Facility and the New
Money Exit Loans, and each Backstop Term Lender’s DIP Loans under the DIP Facility will be repaid within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such funds and reduced proportionally to account for the DIP Loans funded by the Electing DIP
Lenders on the Election Funding Date and the commitments on the New Money Exit Loans will be reduced proportionally to the commitment of the Electing DIP Lenders. It is understood and agreed for the avoidance of doubt that (x) neither the
Borrower nor any other Debtor shall be required to take any action to facilitate the funding by any Electing DIP Lender of any DIP Loan and/or any New Money Exit Loan (and/or any repayment of any DIP Loan required to effectuate the foregoing) other
than (1) to facilitate the posting of notices to the Prepetition IPCo Noteholders or the Prepetition Term Lenders through the IPCo Notes Trustee (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) or the Prepetition Term Agent (as defined in the DIP
Credit Agreement) and (2) consenting to the revisions of Schedule 2.01 to the DIP Credit Agreement as provided therein and (y) in no event shall any transaction contemplated by this paragraph result in a reduction to the aggregate amount
of commitments or loans available under the DIP Facility and/or in respect of the New Money Exit Loans. 
  

	3.	 Premium. 

As consideration for the agreements and commitments under this Commitment Letter, the Debtors collectively agree to pay, (i) if the Approved Plan of
Reorganization (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) becomes effective in accordance with the Transaction Support Agreement, to the Backstop Term Lenders a commitment premium in an amount equal to 10% of the aggregate amount of commitments
hereunder to fund the DIP Loans and the New Money Exit Loans, which Backstop Premium (if payable hereunder) shall be paid in New Common Shares issued to the Backstop Term Lenders (and allocated to the Backstop Term Lenders in accordance with the
percentages set forth in Schedule I hereof) at the transaction enterprise value of $1,750,000,000 on the Plan Effective Date, which will be subject to dilution as set forth in the Transaction Term Sheet or (ii) in the event of an Alternative
Transaction (as defined in the Transaction Support Agreement), to the Backstop Term Lenders a cash premium equal to 3.0% of the aggregate amount of commitments hereunder to fund the DIP Loans and the New Money Exit Loans payable upon the
consummation of such Alternative Transaction (either clause (i) or (ii), the “Backstop Premium”). The Backstop Premium shall be fully earned, nonrefundable and
non-avoidable upon entry of the Interim DIP Order (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) and shall be paid free and clear of any withholding or deduction on account of taxes. 

 

	4.	 Conditions Precedent. 

The Backstop Term Lenders’ commitments and agreements hereunder (i) in respect of the DIP Facility are subject to solely the satisfaction or waiver
of all conditions precedent set forth in Sections 4.01 and 4.02 of the DIP Credit Agreement and (ii) in respect of the Exit Term Loan Facility are subject solely to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent set forth in
Section 2.12 of the DIP Credit Agreement and under the heading “Conditions to Closing” set forth in Annex B. 

Each party hereto agrees that this Commitment Letter is a binding and enforceable agreement with respect to the subject matter contained herein or therein
(including, without limitation, an obligation to negotiate the Exit Term Loan Facility Credit Agreement and the related documentation in good faith).

 3 

	 	
their and their affiliates’ respective officers, directors, fiduciaries, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys, and representatives, and the successors, heirs, and assigns of such Backstop
Term Lender (and, in addition to the Backstop Term Lenders, where a Backstop Term Lender is an investment manager or advisor for a beneficial holder, such beneficial holder) and their affiliates (each such Backstop Term Lender and other person, an
“Indemnified Person”) harmless against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and/or reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (limited, in
the case of legal fees and expenses, to (x) the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one firm of counsel to all Indemnified Persons, taken
as a whole, (y) to the extent reasonably necessary, to the reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of one local counsel to all Indemnified
Persons, taken as a whole, and (z) one conflicts counsel to all affected Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole) to any such Indemnified Person in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter or as a result of either
this arrangement or any matter referred to in the Commitment Letter (whether or not such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities result from an investigation, litigation, claim, or proceeding that is brought by you, your equity holders, or creditors
or an Indemnified Person and whether or not any such Indemnified Person is otherwise a party thereto), except to the extent that such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense has been found by a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) the bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person or its related Indemnified Persons in performing the
services that are the subject of the Commitment Letter, (ii) a material breach of the obligations of such Indemnified Person or its related Indemnified Persons under this Commitment Letter or (iii) claims between or among the Backstop Term
Lenders. The foregoing obligations will be included in the DIP Facility as superpriority obligations. 

  

	 	(b)	 The indemnity obligations of the Debtors under this Section 6 will be in addition to
any liability which the Debtors may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person, will be binding upon any successors, assigns, heirs, or personal representatives of the Debtors, and will inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs, or
personal representatives of any Indemnified Person. 

  

	 	(c)	 The provisions of this Section 5 will survive any termination or completion of the
arrangement provided by the Commitment Letter and the occurrence of the effective date of any plan of reorganization and any discharge of claims against or interests in the Debtors. 

 

	6.	 Assignments. 

This Commitment Letter may not be assigned by any Debtor without the prior written consent of each of the Backstop Term Lenders (and any purported assignment
without such consent will be null and void), is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any person other than the parties hereto. Each Backstop
Term Lender may assign its respective commitments and agreements hereunder, under the DIP Facility or under the Exit Term Loan Facility, in whole or in part, to any affiliate thereof, or to any other Backstop Term Lender (or, where a Backstop Term
Lender is an investment manager or advisor for beneficial holders, to such beneficial holders) or, with the Company’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), a Prepetition Party; provided that, in the case
of an assignment of the commitments and agreements under the DIP Facility to a party who is not a Backstop Term Lender, such assignment may only be undertaken after such assignee becomes a party to the Transaction Support Agreement. For the
avoidance of doubt, upon the Closing Date (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), the assignment of loans and commitments under the DIP Facility and the commitments under the New Money Exit Loans will be governed by the DIP Credit Agreement.

“ABL Intercreditor Agreement”), by and between the Prepetition ABL Agent and the Prepetition Term Agent and (ii) that certain Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of July 13, 2017 (as amended, restated, amended and restated,
supplemented, waived and/or otherwise modified from time to time, the “IPCo Intercreditor Agreement” and, together with the ABL Intercreditor Agreement, the “Intercreditor Agreements”), by and between the
Prepetition IPCo New Money Notes Indenture Trustee and the Prepetition IPCo Exchange Notes Indenture Trustee, and any other applicable intercreditor or subordination provisions contained in any of the other Prepetition Documents, (i) shall
remain in full force and effect, (ii) shall continue to govern the relative priorities, rights, and remedies of the Prepetition Secured Parties (including the relative priorities, rights, and remedies of such parties with respect to the
replacement liens, administrative expense claims, and superpriority administrative expense claims granted or the amounts payable by the Debtors under this Interim Order or otherwise), and (iii) shall not be deemed to be amended, altered, or
modified by the terms of this Interim Order or the DIP Documents, unless expressly set forth herein or therein. 

I.    Permitted Prior Liens; Continuation of Prepetition Liens. Nothing herein shall constitute a finding or
ruling by this Court that any lien other than (and subject to the 

  
 - 17 - 

 
exceptions and qualifications regarding such liens contained herein) the Prepetition ABL Liens, the Prepetition Term Liens, and the Prepetition IPCo Liens are (i) valid, enforceable,
perfected, or non-avoidable or (ii) senior to any of the Prepetition ABL Liens, the Prepetition Term Liens, and the Prepetition IPCo Liens. Moreover, and subject in all respects to the Intercreditor
Agreements, nothing shall prejudice the rights of any party in interest, including, but not limited to, the Debtors, the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Prepetition Secured Parties, or a Committee (if appointed), to challenge the validity, priority,
enforceability, seniority, avoidability, perfection, or extent of any asserted lien that is not the subject of the stipulations granted pursuant to paragraph F hereof. 

J.    Findings Regarding Postpetition Financing and Use of Cash Collateral. 

(i)    Request for Postpetition Financing and Use of Cash Collateral. The Debtors seek authority (a) for the
Debtors to enter into the DIP Facility and incur the DIP Obligations on the terms described herein and in the DIP Documents and (b) for the Debtors to use Cash Collateral on the terms described herein, in each case, to, among other things,
administer their Chapter 11 Cases and fund their operations. At the Final Hearing, the Debtors will seek final approval of the DIP Facility and the use of Cash Collateral pursuant to a proposed final order (the “Final Order”), which
(i) shall be substantially the same as the Interim Order except that (x) those provisions in the Interim Order that are subject to the entry of the Final Order shall be included in the Final Order without such qualification, and
(y) where appropriate, references to this Interim Order shall be changed to references to the Final Order and (ii) with respect to any other modifications to the Interim Order, shall be consistent with the DIP Credit Agreement and shall
otherwise be in form and substance acceptable to the Required Lenders (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement, the “Required Lenders”) and the DIP Agent. Notice of the Final Hearing and

  
 - 18 - 

 
the proposed Final Order will be provided in accordance with this Interim Order. 

(ii)    Priming of the Prepetition Liens. The priming of the Prepetition Term Liens, Prepetition ABL Liens (except
with respect to ABL Priority Collateral), and Prepetition IPCo Liens under section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, as contemplated by the DIP Documents and as provided herein, will enable the Debtors to obtain the DIP Facility and the Debtors to
continue to operate their business during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, for the benefit of their estates and creditors. The Prepetition Secured Parties are entitled to receive adequate protection as set forth in this Interim Order pursuant
to sections 361, 363, and 364 of the Bankruptcy Code, solely to the extent of any Diminution in Value of their respective interests in the Prepetition Collateral (including Cash Collateral) as of the Petition Date. 

(iii)    Need for Postpetition Financing and Use of Cash Collateral. The Debtors have demonstrated an immediate
need to use Cash Collateral on an interim basis and to obtain credit in the form of the Interim Loans under the DIP Facility in order to, among other things, continue their ordinary course operations, administer these Chapter 11 Cases, and preserve
the going-concern value of their estates. 
 (iv)    No Credit Available on More Favorable Terms. The DIP
Facility is the best source of debtor-in-possession financing reasonably available to the Debtors at this time. Given their current financial condition, financing
arrangements, and capital structure, the Debtors have been and continue to be unable to obtain financing from sources other than the DIP Lenders on terms more favorable than the DIP Facility. The Debtors are unable to obtain adequate unsecured
credit allowable under section 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code as an administrative expense. The Debtors have also been unable to obtain: (a) adequate unsecured credit having 

  
 - 19 - 

 
priority over that of administrative expenses of the kind specified in sections 503(b), 507(a), and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; (b) adequate credit secured solely by a lien on property of
the Debtors and their estates that is not otherwise subject to a lien; or (c) adequate credit secured solely by a junior lien on property of the Debtors and their estates that is subject to a lien. Financing on a postpetition basis on better
terms is not available without granting the DIP Agent, for the benefit of itself and the DIP Lenders, (1) perfected security interests in and liens on (each as provided herein) the DIP Collateral (as defined below), with the priorities set
forth herein; (2) superpriority claims; and (3) the other protections set forth in this Interim Order. 

(v)    Use of Cash Collateral and Proceeds of the DIP Facility. As a condition to entry into the DIP Credit
Agreement, the extension of credit under the DIP Facility and the authorization to use the Prepetition Collateral, including Cash Collateral, the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, and the Prepetition Secured Parties require, and the Debtors have agreed,
that proceeds of the DIP Facility and the Prepetition Secured Parties’ Cash Collateral shall be used in a manner consistent with the terms and conditions of this Interim Order and the DIP Documents and in accordance with the budget (including
with respect to any variances as permitted in the DIP Documents, as would not trigger a Budget Event (as defined in the DIP Documents), and as set forth in paragraph [15] hereof, the “Budget” and the requirement to use the proceeds
of the DIP Facility and the Prepetition Secured Parties’ Cash Collateral in a manner that does not trigger a Budget Event, the “Budget Requirement”),13 solely for the
purposes set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement and this Interim Order, including (a) ongoing working capital, capital expenditures, 

 

	13 	 A copy of the initial Budget is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.

  
 - 20 - 

 
other general corporate purposes of the Debtors and any other purpose not prohibited by the DIP Credit Agreement; (b) permitted payment of costs of administration of the Chapter 11 Cases;
(c) payment of such prepetition expenses as consented to by the DIP Agent, acting at the direction of the Required DIP Lenders; (d) payment of interest, premiums, fees, expenses, and other amounts (including, without limitation, the fees
and expenses of the DIP Agent and the legal and other professionals’ fees and expenses of the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders) owed under the DIP Documents, including those incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, documentation,
and Court approval of the DIP Facility; (e) payment of certain adequate protection amounts to the Prepetition Secured Parties, as set forth in paragraph [12] hereof; and (f) payment of obligations benefitting from the Carve-Out (as defined below), and making disbursements therefrom, including by funding the Carve-Out Reserve Account (as defined below); provided that, for the
avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything herein or in the DIP Documents (including the DIP Credit Agreement) to the contrary, in no instance shall the Debtors’ use of Collateral (including Cash Collateral) to pay obligations benefiting
from the Carve-Out, including Professional Fees, be limited or deemed limited by any Approved Budget. 

(vi)    Application of Proceeds of DIP Collateral. As a condition to entry into the DIP Credit Agreement, the
extension of credit under the DIP Facility, and authorization to use Cash Collateral, the Debtors, the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, and the applicable Prepetition Secured Parties have agreed that as of and commencing on the date of the Interim
Hearing, the Debtors shall apply the proceeds of the DIP Collateral as permitted by the DIP Documents and this Interim Order. 

(vii)    DIP Election Procedures. The procedures governing the 

  
 - 21 - 

 
participation of the Prepetition Term Lenders and the Prepetition IPCo Noteholders in the DIP Facility (the “DIP Election Procedures”), as set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement,
are fair and reasonable. 
 K.    Adequate Protection. (i) The Prepetition Term Agent, for the
benefit of the Prepetition Term Secured Parties, (ii) the Prepetition ABL Agent, for the benefit of the Prepetition ABL Secured Parties, and (iii) the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees, for the benefit of the applicable Prepetition IPCo
Secured Parties, are entitled to receive adequate protection solely to the extent of Diminution in Value, if any, of their respective interests as of the Petition Date in the Prepetition Collateral, including, without limitation, the Cash
Collateral. Pursuant to sections 361, 363, 503, and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, as adequate protection, subject in all respects to the Carve-Out (as defined below), the Prepetition Secured Parties will
receive, and subject to the Carve Out in all respects, (i) solely to the extent of any Diminution of Value, if any, of their interests in the Prepetition Collateral as of the Petition Date, Adequate Protection Liens (as defined below) and
507(b) Claims (as defined below); (ii) current payment of reasonable and documented fees and expenses and other disbursements as set forth in paragraph [12] herein; (iii) financial and other reporting in each case, as set forth in paragraph
[12] herein; and (iv) solely with respect to the Prepetition ABL Secured Parties, current cash payments on a monthly basis in an amount equal to the postpetition interest on the Prepetition ABL Facility at the
non-default rate set forth in the Prepetition ABL Credit Agreement as set forth in paragraph [12] herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors’ and any party in interest’s rights are fully
reserved to seek a determination that adequate protection payments should be recharacterized under section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code as payment on account of the secured portion of the applicable Prepetition Secured Parties’ claims as of
the Petition Date. 

  
 - 22 - 

 L.    Sections 506(c) and 552(b). In light of, among other
things: (i) the superpriority of the Carve-Out with respect to the Prepetition Liens; (ii) the DIP Agent’s and the DIP Lenders’ agreement that their liens and superpriority claims shall be
subject to the Carve-Out (as defined below); (iii) the Prepetition Secured Parties’ agreement that their respective liens and claims, including any adequate protection liens and claims, shall be
subject to the Carve-Out (as defined below) and subordinate to the DIP Liens (as defined below), except as otherwise set forth herein; (iv) the authority to use Cash Collateral as provided herein; and
(v) the funding made available pursuant to the DIP Facility (a) subject to entry of the Final Order, the Prepetition Secured Parties are entitled to a waiver of any “equities of the case” exception under section 552(b) of the
Bankruptcy Code and (b) the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, and, subject to entry of the Final Order, the Prepetition Secured Parties are each entitled to a waiver of the provisions of section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code as provided herein. 

M.    Good Faith of the DIP Agent and DIP Lenders and the Prepetition Secured Parties. 

(i)    Based upon the pleadings and the record in the Chapter 11 Cases, (i) the terms and conditions of the DIP
Facility are fair and reasonable, are appropriate for secured financing to debtors in possession, are the best available to the Debtors under the circumstances, reflect the Debtors’ exercise of prudent business judgment consistent with their
fiduciary duties, and are supported by reasonably equivalent value and fair consideration; (ii) the terms and conditions of the DIP Facility and the use of the Cash Collateral have been negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length among
the Debtors, the DIP Secured Parties, and the Prepetition Secured 

  
 - 23 - 

 
Parties, with the assistance and counsel of their respective advisors; (iii) the use of Cash Collateral, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Interim Order, has been allowed in
“good faith” within the meaning of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code; (iv) any credit to be extended, loans to be made, and other financial accommodations to be extended to the Debtors by the DIP Secured Parties and the
Prepetition Secured Parties, including, without limitation, pursuant to this Interim Order, have been allowed, advanced, extended, issued, or made, as the case may be, in “good faith” within the meaning of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy
Code by the DIP Secured Parties and the Prepetition Secured Parties in express reliance upon the protections offered by section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (v) the DIP Facility, the DIP Liens (as defined below), the DIP Superpriority
Claims (as defined below), the Adequate Protection Liens, and the 507(b) Claims (as defined below) shall be entitled to the full protection of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code in the event that this Interim Order or any provision hereof is
vacated, reversed, or modified, on appeal or otherwise. 
 (ii)    Absent an order of this Court and the provision of
Adequate Protection, (a) consent of the Prepetition ABL Secured Parties and Prepetition Term Secured Parties is required for the Debtors’ use of Cash Collateral and other Prepetition ABL Collateral and Prepetition Term Collateral and
(b) consent of the Prepetition IPCo Secured Parties is required for the Debtors’ use of the Prepetition IPCo Collateral. The Prepetition ABL Secured Parties and Prepetition Term Secured Parties have consented, or have not objected, to the
Debtors’ use of Cash Collateral and other Prepetition ABL Collateral and Prepetition Term Collateral or to the Debtors’ entry into the DIP Documents in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions in this Interim Order and the
DIP Documents. The Prepetition IPCo Secured Parties have consented, or 

  
 - 24 - 

 
have not objected, to the Debtors’ use of the Prepetition IPCo Collateral or to the Debtors’ entry into the DIP Documents in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions in
this Interim Order and the DIP Documents. 
 N.    Immediate Entry. Sufficient cause exists for immediate
entry of this Interim Order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 4001(c)(2). 
 O.    Interim Hearing. Notice of
the Interim Hearing and the relief requested in the Motion has been provided by the Debtors, whether by facsimile, electronic mail, overnight courier, or hand delivery to certain parties in interest, including the Notice Parties. The Debtors
have made reasonable efforts to afford the best notice possible under the circumstances, and no other notice is required in connection with the relief set forth in this Interim Order. 

Based upon the foregoing findings and conclusions, the Motion, the Declarations, and the record before the Court with respect to the Motion,
and after due consideration and good and sufficient cause appearing therefor, 
 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: 

1.    DIP Facility and Use of Cash Collateral Approved on Interim Basis. The Motion is granted to the extent
provided herein on an interim basis. The DIP Facility, the borrowing of the Interim Loan thereunder, and the guaranty by the DIP Guarantors of such borrowing (and related obligations under the DIP Facility), is hereby authorized and approved, and
the use of Cash Collateral on an interim basis is authorized, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the DIP Documents and this Interim Order. All objections to this Interim Order, to the extent not withdrawn, waived, settled,
or resolved, are hereby denied and overruled. This Interim Order shall become effective immediately upon its entry. 

  
 - 25 - 

 2.    Authorization of the DIP Facility. The DIP Facility is
hereby approved. The Debtors are expressly and immediately authorized and empowered to execute and deliver the DIP Documents and to incur and to perform the DIP Obligations in accordance with, and subject to, the terms of this Interim Order and the
DIP Documents and to deliver all instruments, certificates, agreements, and documents that may be required, desirable or necessary for the performance by the Debtors under the DIP Facility and the creation and perfection of the DIP Liens (as defined
below). The Debtors are hereby authorized and directed to pay, in accordance with this Interim Order, the principal, interest, premiums, fees, payments, expenses, and other amounts described in the DIP Documents as such amounts (including, without
limitation, legal and other professional fees and expenses of the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders) become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DIP Documents, without need to obtain further Court approval, whether or not
such fees arose before or after the Petition Date, and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, and to take any other related actions that may be necessary, desirable or appropriate, all to the extent provided in this
Interim Order or the DIP Documents. Upon execution and delivery, the DIP Documents shall represent valid and binding obligations of the Debtors, enforceable against each of the Debtors and their estates in accordance with their terms. Upon entry of
this Interim Order, the Backstop Premium set forth in the Backstop Commitment Letter (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) (the “Backstop Premium”) shall be fully earned, non-refundable,
and non-avoidable and shall be payable in accordance with and at the times specified in the DIP Documents. 

3.    Authorization to Borrow. To prevent immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors’ estates, from the
entry of this Interim Order through and including the earliest to occur

of (i) entry of the Final Order or (ii) the DIP Termination Date (as defined below), and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the DIP Documents and this Interim Order, the
Debtors are hereby authorized to request extensions of credit (in the form of the Interim Loans) under the DIP Facility in an original principal amount equal to $110,000,000. 

4.    Amendment of the DIP Documents. The DIP Documents may from time to time be amended, restated, amended and
restated, waived, modified, and/or supplemented by the parties thereto (or, to the extent provided for in the applicable DIP Document, a subset of such parties) in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable DIP Documents without
further order of the Court if the amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, waiver, modification or supplement does not (i) shorten the original stated maturity of the DIP Loans, (ii) increase the aggregate commitments or the rate
of interest payable thereunder or (iii) amend the Events of Default (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) or covenants in the DIP Documents to be materially more restrictive to the Debtors (taken as a whole) than those set forth in the DIP
Documents as originally executed and delivered (any such amendment, restatement, amendment and restatement, waiver, modification or supplement, an “Approved Modification”); provided, that for the avoidance of doubt,
other than as explicitly set forth in the DIP Credit Agreement, updates and supplements to the Budget required to be delivered by the Borrower under the DIP Documents shall not require further order of the Court. Prior to or promptly after the
effectiveness of any Approved Modification, the Debtors shall (i) provide notice (which may be provided through electronic mail or facsimile) to counsel to any Committee (if appointed), the U.S. Trustee, the DIP Agent, the Prepetition Agents,
the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees, and counsel to the Ad Hoc Committee and (ii) provide notice to the Court. In the case of an amendment, restatement, 

  
 - 27 - 

 
amendment and restatement, waiver, supplement or other modification of the DIP Documents that is not an Approved Modification, the Debtors shall (i) provide notice (which may be provided
through electronic mail or facsimile) to counsel to any Committee (if appointed), the U.S. Trustee, the DIP Agent, the Prepetition Agents, the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees, and counsel to the Ad Hoc Committee, (ii) provide notice to the
Court and (iii) obtain approval of the Court. 
 5.    DIP Obligations. The DIP Documents and this Interim
Order shall constitute and evidence the validity and binding effect of the DIP Obligations, which shall be enforceable in accordance with their terms against the Debtors, their estates and any successors thereto, including, without limitation, any
trustee appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases or in any case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code upon the conversion of any of the Chapter 11 Cases, or in any other proceedings superseding or related to any of the foregoing (collectively, the
“Successor Cases”). Upon entry of this Interim Order, the DIP Obligations will include all loans and any other indebtedness or obligations, contingent or absolute, which may now or from time to time hereafter be owing by any of the
Debtors party to the DIP Documents to the DIP Agent or any of the DIP Lenders, in each case, under and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the DIP Documents or this Interim Order or secured by the DIP Liens (as defined below), including,
without limitation, all principal, accrued and unpaid interest, costs, fees, expenses, and other amounts owing under and in accordance with the DIP Documents; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt the DIP Liens and the DIP
Obligations shall be subject to the Carve-Out in all respects. The Debtors shall be jointly and severally liable for the DIP Obligations as and to the extent provided in the DIP Documents, which shall be
subject to the Carve-Out in all respects. The DIP Obligations shall be due and payable without notice or demand on the DIP Termination Date (as 

  
 - 28 - 

 
defined below), and the Debtors’ authority to use Cash Collateral under this Interim Order shall automatically cease, in each case, without notice or demand on the Cash Collateral
Termination Date (as defined below), in each case except as provided in paragraph [26] hereof and subject to the requirements of the Carve-Out (as defined below); provided that the Debtors’
rights to seek the use of Cash Collateral upon entry of a further order of the Court after the occurrence of the Cash Collateral Termination Date are fully reserved, and nothing herein shall waive, limit, or modify or be deemed to waive, limit or
modify the Debtors’ rights to seek the use of Cash Collateral upon entry of a further order of the Court after the occurrence of the Cash Collateral Termination Date. No obligation, payment, transfer, or grant of collateral security hereunder
or under the DIP Documents (including any DIP Obligation or DIP Liens (as defined below) and including in connection with any adequate protection provided to the Prepetition Secured Parties hereunder) shall be stayed, restrained, voidable,
avoidable, or recoverable under the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable law (including, without limitation, under chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code, section 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other provision with respect to avoidance actions
under the Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law equivalents), shall constitute original issue discount, or shall be subject to any avoidance, reduction, setoff, recoupment, offset, recharacterization, subordination (whether equitable, contractual,
or otherwise), counterclaim, cross-claim, defense, or any other challenge under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable law or regulation by any person or entity. 

6.    DIP Liens. Subject and subordinate to the Carve-Out in all respects,
as set forth in this Interim Order and effective immediately upon entry of this Interim Order, pursuant to, as applicable, sections 361, 362, 364(c)(2), 364(c)(3), and 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, the DIP

non-avoidable, and automatically and properly perfected postpetition security interests in and liens on (collectively, the “DIP Liens”) all real and personal property, whether now existing or
hereafter arising and wherever located, tangible or intangible, of each of the Debtors (the “DIP Collateral”), including, without limitation (a) all cash, cash equivalents, deposit accounts, securities accounts, accounts, other

Bankruptcy Code to recover any post-petition transfer of DIP Collateral; (d) the proceeds of any avoidance actions brought pursuant 

  
 - 30 - 

 
to chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or section 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other avoidance actions under the Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law equivalents (the “Avoidance
Action Proceeds”), but not the actions themselves; (d) the proceeds of any exercise of the Debtors’ rights under section 506(c) and 550 of the Bankruptcy Code; and (e) all DIP Collateral that was not otherwise subject
to valid, perfected, enforceable, and unavoidable liens on the Petition Date; provided that the DIP Collateral shall not include (and the DIP Liens shall not extend to) (w) funds held in the Borrowing Base Account (if any),
provided DIP Collateral shall include the Debtors’ reversionary interest in such funds (x) any “Excluded Property” (as defined in the DIP Documents), (y) any nonresidential real property leases (although the DIP Collateral shall
include the proceeds of any such leases) or (z) the Professional Fees Account (as defined herein) and all funds held therein, which shall constitute “Excluded Property” under this Interim Order and the DIP Documents, except to the
extent of the Debtors’ reversionary interest, if any, in funds held in the Professional Fees Account, after all Professional Fees benefitting from the Carve-Out have been indefeasibly paid in full, in
cash; provided further that neither the DIP Funding Account (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) nor the Operating Account (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement) shall be subject to any lien in favor of the Prepetition
Secured Parties, including with respect to any lien granted as adequate protection. 
 7.    DIP Lien Priority.
The DIP Liens shall have the following priority with respect to assets of the Debtors’ estates, and subject in all respects to the Carve-Out: 

(a)    pursuant to Section 364(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, the DIP Liens shall be first priority liens on all of
the assets (now or hereafter acquired and all proceeds thereof) of the Debtors that are not otherwise subject to valid, perfected, and unavoidable liens in 

  
 - 31 - 

 
existence immediately prior to the Petition Date or liens that are perfected after the Petition Date as permitted by section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code; provided that in no
instance shall the DIP Liens encumber the Excluded Property (as defined in the DIP Documents); 
 (b)    pursuant to
Section 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, the DIP Liens shall be junior priority liens upon all DIP Collateral constituting the ABL Priority Collateral (now owned or hereafter acquired and all proceeds thereof), subject and junior only to, in
order of priority: (1) the Carve Out; (2) the ABL Permitted Liens; (3) ABL Adequate Protection Liens (as defined herein); and (4) Prepetition ABL Liens; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the DIP Liens shall
be senior in priority to the Prepetition Term Liens and Prepetition IPCo Liens and any liens granted as adequate protection in favor of the Prepetition Term Secured Parties or Prepetition IPCo Secured Parties with respect to ABL Priority Collateral
(now owned or hereafter acquired); 
 (c)    pursuant to Section 364(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, the DIP Liens
shall be priming first-priority liens on all DIP Collateral (now or hereafter acquired and all proceeds thereof) that is “Collateral” as defined by each of the Prepetition Term Credit Agreement, the Prepetition ABL Credit Agreement, and
the Prepetition IPCo Indentures to the extent such Collateral is not ABL Priority Collateral; provided that such DIP Liens shall be junior to, in order of priority, to: (i) the Carve Out, and (ii) the Permitted Liens. For the
avoidance of doubt, the Prepetition ABL Liens, the Prepetition Term Liens, and the Prepetition IPCo Liens shall be junior to the DIP Liens and the Carve Out in all respects with respect to DIP Collateral that is not ABL Priority Collateral (now
owned or hereafter acquired). 
 (d)    Other than as set forth herein (including with respect to the Carve-Out) or in the DIP Documents, the DIP Liens shall not be made subject to or pari passu with any 

  
 - 32 - 

 
lien or security interest heretofore or hereinafter granted in the Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases and shall be valid and enforceable against any trustee appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases
or any Successor Cases, upon the conversion of any of the Chapter 11 Cases to any Successor Case, and/or upon the dismissal of any of the Chapter 11 Cases or Successor Cases. The DIP Liens shall not be subject to any of sections 510, 549 or 550 of
the Bankruptcy Code. No lien or interest avoided and preserved for the benefit of the estate pursuant to section 551 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be pari passu with or senior to the DIP Liens. 

8.    Superpriority Claims. Subject and subordinate to the Carve-Out in all
respects, upon entry of this Interim Order, the DIP Agent, on behalf of itself and the DIP Lenders, is hereby granted, pursuant to section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, allowed superpriority administrative expense claims in each of the Chapter
11 Cases and any Successor Cases (collectively, the “DIP Superpriority Claims”) for all DIP Obligations (a) with priority over any and all administrative expense claims and unsecured claims against the Debtors or their estates
in any of their Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases, at any time existing or arising, of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, administrative expenses of the kinds specified in or ordered pursuant to sections 105, 326,
328, 330, 331, 364, 503(a), 503(b), 507(a), 507(b), 546(c), 546(d), 726, 1113, or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) which shall at all times be senior to the rights of the Debtors and their
estates, and any successor trustee or other estate representative to the extent permitted by law. The DIP Superpriority Claims shall be payable from, and have recourse to, all prepetition and postpetition property of the Debtors and all proceeds
thereof; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the DIP Superpriority Claims shall not have recourse to (x) the amounts deposited in the 

  
 - 33 - 

 
Carve-Out Reserve Account (as defined below) in accordance with this Interim Order, or (y) the amounts held in the Professional Fees Account (as
defined below), other than the Debtors’ reversionary interest therein, if any, after all Professional Fees benefitting from the Carve-Out have been indefeasibly paid in full, in cash. 

9.    No Obligation to Extend Credit. Except as required to fund the
Carve-Out (as defined below) as set forth in this Interim Order, the DIP Lenders shall have no obligation to make any loan or advance or to issue, amend, renew, or extend any letters of credit or bankers’
acceptance under the DIP Documents unless (and subject to the occurrence of the Closing Date (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement)) all of the conditions precedent to the making of such extension of credit or the issuance, amendment, renewal, or
extension of such letter of credit or bankers’ acceptance under the DIP Documents and this Interim Order have been satisfied in full or waived by the DIP Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders (or the requisite consenting DIP
Lenders, as applicable) in accordance with the terms of the DIP Credit Agreement. 
 10.    Use of Proceeds of DIP
Facility. From and after the Petition Date, the Debtors shall use proceeds of borrowings under the DIP Facility in accordance with the Budget Requirement and the terms and conditions in this Interim Order and the DIP Documents; provided that,
for the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors’ use of borrowings under the DIP Facility and the DIP Collateral (including Cash Collateral) to pay obligations benefiting from the Carve-Out shall not be limited
or deemed limited by any Budget. 
 11.    Authorization to Use Cash Collateral. Subject to the terms and
conditions of this Interim Order and the DIP Documents, and in a manner that does not trigger a Budget Event 

  
 - 34 - 

 
a “Budget Event”), the Debtors are authorized to use Cash Collateral until the Cash Collateral Termination Date (as defined below); provided, however, that during
the Remedies Notice Period (as defined below), the Debtors are authorized to use Cash Collateral (x) solely to pay expenses necessary to avoid immediate and irreparable harm to the Debtors’ estates, in accordance with the Budget
Requirement and (y) as otherwise agreed by the DIP Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders. Nothing in this Interim Order shall authorize the disposition of any assets of the Debtors’ estates outside the ordinary course of
business, or any Debtor’s use of any Cash Collateral or other proceeds resulting therefrom, except as permitted in this Interim Order (including with respect to the Carve-Out (as defined below)), the DIP
Facility, or the DIP Documents.

Prepetition Secured Parties are entitled, pursuant to sections 361, 362, 363(c)(2), 363(e), 503, and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code, to adequate protection of their interests in the Prepetition Collateral as of the Petition Date, including the Cash
Collateral, solely to the extent of Diminution in Value, if any, of their interests in the Prepetition Collateral as of the Petition Date (the “Adequate Protection Claim”); provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt,
the Adequate Protection Obligations shall not have any recourse to the amounts deposited in accordance with this Interim Order in the Carve-Out Reserve Account or the Professional Fees Account (each as defined
below) (in each case other than the Debtors’ reversionary interest therein, if any, after all Professional Fees benefiting from the Carve-Out have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash). As adequate
protection, the Prepetition Secured Parties are hereby granted the following (the “Adequate Protection Obligations”): 

  
 - 35 - 

 (a)    ABL Adequate Protection Liens. Subject to the Carve-Out in all respects, as security for the payment of the Prepetition ABL Secured Parties’ Adequate Protection Claims, if any, the Prepetition ABL Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Prepetition
ABL Lenders) is hereby granted (effective and perfected upon the date of this Interim Order and without the necessity of the execution by the Debtors of security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages, financing statements, or other agreements) a
valid, perfected replacement security interest in and lien on all of the DIP Collateral of each of the Debtors (including Avoidance Action Proceeds, but not avoidance actions themselves) (the “ABL Adequate Protection Liens”),

paid in full, in cash, (y) all DIP Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and (z) with respect to the ABL 507(b) Claims against the IPCo Debtors, all IPCo 507(b) Claims (as defined below) shall have been

status as 507(b) Claims, the Prepetition ABL Secured Parties’ Adequate Protection Claims may be satisfied in a plan of reorganization or liquidation confirmed in the Chapter 11 Cases in any manner set forth in such plan if the Requisite Lenders
(as defined in the Prepetition ABL Credit Agreement) consent to such treatment, which shall include any class including such Requisite Lenders voting to accept such plan of reorganization or plan of liquidation. 

  
 - 37 -

of this Interim Order, the Prepetition ABL Agent, on behalf of itself and the Prepetition ABL Lenders, shall receive current cash payment during the Chapter 11 Cases of all accrued interest on the Prepetition ABL Obligations under the Prepetition

Carve-Out, as security for the payment of the Prepetition Term Secured Parties’ Adequate Protection Claims, the Prepetition Term Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Prepetition Term Secured

Documents to be senior to the DIP Liens); (ii) with respect to the ABL Priority Collateral, (1) the Prepetition ABL Liens and (2) the ABL Adequate Protection Liens; and (iii) with

 - 40 - 

 
administrative expenses of the kinds specified or ordered pursuant to any provision of the Bankruptcy Code, including, without limitation, sections 105, 326, 328, 330, 331, 503(a), 503(b),
507(a), 506(c), 507(b), 546(c), 546(d), 726, 1113, or 1114 of the Bankruptcy Code, subject and subordinate only to (i) (1) the Carve-Out (as defined below) and (2) the DIP Superpriority Claims

in this Interim Order, the Prepetition IPCo Secured Parties shall not receive or retain any payments, property, or other amounts in respect of the IPCo 507(b) Claims unless and until (x) the Carve-Out (as
defined below) is funded, (y) all DIP Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash, and (z) with respect to the IPCo 507(b) Claims against the ABL Debtors and the Term Debtors, the ABL 507(b) Claims and the Term 507(b)

 (h)    Fees
and Expenses. The Debtors are authorized and directed to pay, as adequate protection, all accrued and unpaid fees and reasonable and documented disbursements 

  
 - 41 - 

 
(but not success fees, transaction fees, or similar fees) incurred, whether accrued before, on, or after the Petition Date, by the legal and financial advisors to (i) the ad hoc committee of
crossholder creditors (the “Ad Hoc Committee”) under the Prepetition Term Credit Agreement and Prepetition IPCo Indentures, (ii) the Prepetition ABL Agent, (iii) the Prepetition Term Agent, and (iv) the Prepetition
IPCo Indenture Trustees; provided, that such payments shall be subject to the Debtors’ or any other party’s rights to seek a determination such payments should be recharacterized under section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code as
payments of the secured portion of the applicable claims as of the Petition Date. The legal and financial advisors to the Ad Hoc Committee, the Prepetition ABL Agent, the Prepetition Term Agent, and the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees shall not
be required to comply with the U.S. Trustee fee guidelines; however, any time that such professionals seek payment of fees and expenses from the Debtors, each professional shall provide summary copies of its fee and expense statements or invoices
(which shall not be required to contain time entries and which may be redacted or modified to the extent necessary to delete any information subject to the attorney-client privilege, any information constituting attorney work product, or any other
confidential information, and the provision of such invoices shall not constitute any waiver of the attorney-client privilege or of any benefits of the attorney work-product doctrine) to the U.S. Trustee and counsel to the Committee (if appointed),
contemporaneously with the delivery of such fee and expense statements to the Debtors. After delivery of a fee and expense statement or invoice, the Debtors, the U.S. Trustee, and the Committee (if appointed) shall have ten (10) days to raise
an objection thereto. If an objection is timely raised, such objection shall be subject to resolution by the Court. Pending such resolution, the undisputed portion of any such fee and expense statement or invoice shall be paid

  
 - 42 - 

 
promptly by the Debtors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors are authorized and directed to pay upon entry of this Interim Order all reasonable and documented fees, costs, and out-of-pocket expenses (but not any “success”, “transaction”, or similar fees) of the legal and financial advisors to (i) the Ad Hoc Committee,
(ii) the Prepetition ABL Agent, (iii) the Prepetition Term Agent, and (iv) the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees incurred on or prior to such date without the need for any professional engaged by such parties to first deliver a copy
of its invoice as provided for herein. No attorney or advisor to the Ad Hoc Committee, the Prepetition ABL Agent, the Prepetition Term Agent, and the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees shall be required to file an interim or final application
seeking compensation for services or reimbursement of expenses with the Court. 
 (i)    Financial Reporting.
The Debtors shall concurrently deliver to the Prepetition Agents, the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees, the legal and financial advisors to the Ad Hoc Committee, and the Committee (if appointed), subject to customary confidentiality provisions,
all information, reports, documents, and other materials that the Debtors provide to the DIP Secured Parties pursuant to the DIP Documents, this Interim Order, and the Final Order, including Budgets. 

13.    Adequate Protection Reservation. Other than with respect to the priority of the Carve-Out (as defined below), nothing herein shall impair or modify the application of section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in the event that the adequate protection provided to the Prepetition Secured Parties
hereunder is insufficient to compensate for any Diminution in Value, if any, of their respective interests in the Prepetition Collateral as of the Petition Date during the Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases, or the Debtors’ or any party in
interest’s rights to challenge such 

  
 - 43 - 

 
an assertion. The receipt by the Prepetition Secured Parties of the adequate protection provided herein shall not be deemed an admission that the interests of the Prepetition Secured Parties are
adequately protected or that any of the Prepetition Secured Parties are entitled to other or different adequate protection. Further, this Interim Order shall not prejudice or limit the rights of the Prepetition Secured Parties to seek additional
relief with respect to the use of Cash Collateral or for additional adequate protection, subject in all respects to the terms and limitations of the Intercreditor Agreements, or the Debtors’ or any party in interest’s rights to challenge
such request on any basis whatsoever. 
 14.    Effect of Order on Adequate Protection. In the event that it is
determined by a final order, which order shall not be subject to any appeal, stay, reversal, or vacatur, that (a) no Diminution in Value of any Prepetition Secured Party’s respective interests in the Prepetition Collateral as of the
Petition Date has occurred, (b) such Prepetition Secured Party is determined to be undersecured, or (c) the aggregate value of postpetition interest, fees, and expenses paid to or the benefit of the Prepetition ABL Secured Parties exceeds
the extent permitted by section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, then in each case a party in interest shall have the right to assert that payments of Adequate Protection shall be applied toward repayment of the secured portion of the applicable
Prepetition Secured Debt as is owing to such Prepetition Secured Party as of the Petition Date. 
 15.    Budget
Maintenance. The Debtors shall use the proceeds of all borrowings under the DIP Facility and Cash Collateral in accordance with the Budget Requirement or as otherwise permitted by the DIP Documents and this Interim Order; provided
that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors’ authorization to use proceeds of the DIP Facility, DIP Collateral, and Cash 

  
 - 44 - 

 
Collateral to satisfy obligations benefitting from the Carve Out shall in no way be subject to the Budget. The Budget annexed hereto as Schedule 1 shall constitute the initial Budget. On
the first Tuesday that is four (4) full weeks after the Petition Date, and no later than the Tuesday of each fourth week thereafter (or more frequently as the Borrower may elect), the Borrower shall provide to the DIP Agent, the legal and
financial advisors of the Ad Hoc Committee, and the Prepetition ABL Agent, an updated 13-week statement of the Debtors’ anticipated cash receipts and disbursements for the subsequent 13-week period (a “Proposed Budget”), which Proposed Budget shall modify and supersede any prior Budget upon the approval of the Required Lenders in their reasonable discretion (such approval not to
be unreasonably withheld), in consultation with the Prepetition ABL Agent. Until the Required Lenders approve the Proposed Budget in their reasonable discretion (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), the then-current Budget shall remain
the Budget, and the DIP Lenders shall have no obligation to fund such Proposed Budget. Each Budget delivered to the DIP Agent, the legal and financial advisors to the Ad Hoc Committee and the Prepetition ABL Agent shall be accompanied by such
supporting documentation as reasonably requested by such legal and financial advisors, and each Budget shall be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions the Debtors believe to be reasonable. A copy of the Budget shall be delivered to the legal
and financial advisors to the Committee (if appointed) and the U.S. Trustee following such Budget’s approval. 

16.    Budget and Reporting Compliance. The occurrence of a Budget Event or the Debtors’ failure to provide
the reports and other information required in the DIP Credit Agreement shall constitute an Event of Default under the DIP Credit Agreement and this Interim Order, following the expiration of any applicable grace period set forth in the DIP Credit

  
 - 45 - 

 
Agreement. Contemporaneously with their delivery to the DIP Agent, all reports and information required to be provided to the DIP Agent under the DIP Credit Agreement shall be provided to the
Prepetition ABL Agent. 
 17.    Borrowing Base; Borrowing Base Reporting. The Debtors shall deliver to the
Prepetition ABL Agent, with copies to the DIP Agent, counsel to the Ad Hoc Committee, and counsel to the Committee (if appointed), a Borrowing Base Certificate (as defined in the Prepetition ABL Credit Agreement) as of the last business day of each
fiscal month, promptly, but in no event later than [    ] (•) business days following the end of each fiscal month setting forth the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Prepetition ABL Credit Agreement); provided
that (x) none of the Prepetition ABL Secured Parties shall be permitted to take any Reserves (whether Availability Reserves (as defined in the Prepetition ABL Credit Agreement), Inventory Reserves (as defined in the Prepetition ABL
Credit Agreement) or otherwise) against the Borrowing Base that were not in place as of April 30, 2020 other than a GOB Reserve, (y) the appraisals used to calculate the Borrowing Base shall be the most recent appraisals
delivered by the Debtors in accordance with the Prepetition ABL Credit Agreement as of April 30, 2020, and (z) no subsequent appraisals, valuations, or reserves (other than a GOB Reserve) shall be applied with respect to the
Borrowing Base or any determination of Net Recovery Percentage (as defined in the Prepetition ABL Credit Agreement), although the Prepetition ABL Agent may obtain appraisals subsequent to the Petition Date solely for informational purposes (and such
appraisals shall not affect the Borrowing Base), and the Debtors shall pay the Prepetition ABL Agent’s reasonable and documented expenses associated with obtaining such appraisals. The Debtors shall deliver the first Borrowing Base Certificate
as provided herein not later than [•], 2020. 

  
 - 46 - 

 18.    “GOB Reserve” means a reserve that may be taken
by the Prepetition ABL Agent, on three (3) business days’ written notice to the Debtors, the DIP Agent, and the Committee (if appointed), in its Permitted Discretion (as defined in the Prepetition ABL Credit Agreement) solely on account of
Eligible Inventory (as defined in the Prepetition ABL Credit Agreement) held in stores that are permanently closed after the Petition Date and where “going out of business” sales have been commenced (each a “GOB Store”);
provided that a GOB Reserve may not be taken: 
 (a)    before the first business day that is at least
five (5) weeks after the Petition Date; 
 (b)    unless more than 10% of the Debtors’ aggregate store count
as of the Petition Date shall have become GOB Stores after the Petition Date; 
 (c)    more than once per week; 

(d)    for at least five (5) weeks after the commencement of a “going out of business sale” at the
applicable store location; and 
 (e)    to reduce the Borrowing Base by more than 1000 bps per GOB Store, per week,
versus Net Recovery Percentage (as defined in the Prepetition ABL Credit Agreement as modified hereby) with respect to Eligible Inventory located at a GOB Store. 

19.    To the extent the Borrowing Base set forth on such Borrowing Base Certificate is less than the lesser of (a)
$375,000,000 and (b) the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit Outstandings (as defined in the ABL Credit Agreement) (such difference, if any, the “Borrowing Base Shortfall”), the Debtors shall cause the lesser of
(x) such Borrowing Base Shortfall and (y) $20,000,000 to be deposited in a segregated account (the “Borrowing Base  

  
 - 47 - 

 
Account”) established by the Debtors on or within two (2) business days of delivery of such Borrowing Base Certificate, as additional adequate protection for the Prepetition ABL
Lenders, which Borrowing Base Account and all funds held in the Borrowing Base Account, if any, shall be ABL Priority Collateral but not DIP Collateral (but DIP Collateral shall include the Debtors’ reversionary interest in such funds);
provided, further, that (x) funds held in the Borrowing Base Account shall be added to the Borrowing Base and (y) the Debtors may withdraw funds held in the Borrowing Base Account to the extent of any reduction in the
Borrowing Base Shortfall as set forth by any subsequent Borrowing Base Certificate delivered as provided herein. 

20.    Modification of Automatic Stay. The automatic stay imposed under section 362(a)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code is
hereby modified as necessary to effectuate all of the terms and provisions of this Interim Order, including, without limitation, to (a) permit the Debtors to grant the DIP Liens, Adequate Protection Liens, DIP Superpriority Claims, and 507(b)
Claims; (b) permit the Debtors to perform such acts as the DIP Agent, the Prepetition ABL Agent, the Prepetition Term Agent, and the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees each may reasonably request to assure the perfection and priority of the
liens granted herein; (c) permit the Debtors to incur all liabilities and obligations to the DIP Agent, DIP Lenders, and Prepetition Secured Parties under the DIP Documents, the DIP Facility, and this Interim Order, as applicable; and
(d) authorize the Debtors to pay, and the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, and the Prepetition Secured Parties to retain and apply, payments made in accordance with the terms of this Interim Order. 

21.    Perfection of DIP Liens and Adequate Protection Liens. This Interim Order shall be sufficient and conclusive
evidence of the creation, validity, perfection, and priority of all liens granted herein, including the Carve Out, the DIP Liens and the Adequate Protection Liens, 

  
 - 48 - 

 
without the necessity of filing or recording any financing statement, mortgage, notice, or other instrument or document which may otherwise be required under the law or regulation of any
jurisdiction or the taking of any other action (including, for the avoidance of doubt, entering into any deposit account control agreement) to validate or perfect (in accordance with applicable non-bankruptcy
law) the DIP Liens or the Adequate Protection Liens or to entitle the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, and the Prepetition Secured Parties to the priorities granted herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the DIP Agent, the Prepetition ABL Agent,
the Prepetition Term Agent, and the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees is authorized to file or record, as it in its sole discretion deems necessary or advisable, such financing statements, security agreements, mortgages, notices of liens, and
other similar documents to perfect its respective liens in accordance with applicable non-bankruptcy law, and all such financing statements, mortgages, notices, and other documents shall be deemed to have been
filed or recorded as of the Petition Date; provided, however, that no such filing or recordation shall be necessary or required in order to create or perfect the DIP Liens or the Adequate Protection Liens. The Debtors are
authorized and directed to execute and deliver, promptly upon demand to the DIP Agent, the Prepetition ABL Agent, the Prepetition Term Agent, and the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees, all such financing statements, mortgages, notices, and other
documents as the DIP Agent, the Prepetition ABL Agent, the Prepetition Term Agent, or the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees, as applicable, may reasonably request. Each of the DIP Agent, the Prepetition ABL Agent, the Prepetition Term Agent, and
the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees, in its discretion, may file a photocopy of this Interim Order as a financing statement with any filing or recording office or with any registry of deeds or similar office, in addition to or in lieu of such
financing statements, notices of lien, or similar instrument, and all 

  
 - 49 - 

 
applicable officials are hereby directed to accept a photocopy of this Interim Order for filing or recordation for such purpose. To the extent the Prepetition ABL Agent, the Prepetition Term
Agent, the Prepetition IPCo New Money Notes Indenture Trustee, or the Prepetition IPCo Exchange Notes Indenture Trustee is the secured party under any security agreement, mortgage, landlord waiver, credit card processor notices or agreements, bailee
letters, custom broker agreements, financing statement, account control agreements, or any other Prepetition Documents or is listed as loss payee or additional insured under any of the Debtors’ insurance policies, the DIP Agent shall also be
deemed without any further action to be the secured party or the loss payee or additional insured, as applicable, under such documents. The Prepetition ABL Agent, the Prepetition Term Agent, and the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees, as
applicable, shall serve as agents for the DIP Agent for purposes of perfecting the DIP Liens on all DIP Collateral that is of a type such that, without giving effect to the Bankruptcy Code and this Interim Order, perfection of a lien thereon may be
accomplished only by possession or control by a secured party. 
 22.    Protections of Rights of DIP Agent, DIP
Lenders and Prepetition Secured Parties. 
 (a)    Unless the Required Lenders shall have provided their prior
written consent, or all DIP Obligations (excluding contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and the lending commitments under the DIP Facility have terminated, the entry
of any order in these Chapter 11 Cases shall be an Event of Default for purposes of the DIP Credit Agreement if such order authorizes any of the following (unless such order provides for the simultaneous satisfaction of such obligations): (i) the
obtaining of credit or the incurrence of indebtedness that is secured by a security, mortgage, or 

  
 - 50 - 

 
collateral interest or other lien on all or a portion of the DIP Collateral or that is entitled to administrative priority with a value in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate that are superior to
or pari passu with the DIP Liens, the DIP Superpriority Claims, the Prepetition Liens, the Adequate Protection Liens, or the 507(b) Claims except as expressly set forth in this Interim Order or the DIP Documents; (ii) the use of Cash
Collateral for any purpose other than as permitted pursuant to the Budget Requirement, the DIP Documents, and this Interim Order; provided that Debtors’ rights to seek to use Cash Collateral on a non-consensual basis after the Cash Collateral Termination Date are fully reserved; or (iii) any modification of any of the DIP Agent’s, any DIP Lender’s, or any Prepetition Secured Party’s

Modification or Stay of this Interim Order. Based on the findings set forth in this Interim Order and the record made during the Interim Hearing, and in accordance with section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, in the event any or all of the
provisions of this Interim Order are hereafter modified, amended, or vacated by a subsequent order of this Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction, the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, and Prepetition Secured Parties are entitled to the
protections provided in section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code. Any such modification, amendment, or vacatur shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any advances previously made or made hereunder, or lien, claim, or priority authorized or
created hereby. 
 35.    Payment of Fees and Expenses. The Debtors are authorized and directed to pay all
reasonable and documented prepetition and postpetition fees and out-of-pocket expenses 

  
 - 58 - 

 
(but not “success”, “transaction”, or similar fees), of the legal and financial advisors to the DIP Agent and the legal and financial advisors to the Ad Hoc Committee, the
members of which constitute DIP Lenders, in connection with the DIP Facility, as provided in the DIP Documents. Professionals of the DIP Agent and the Ad Hoc Committee shall not be required to comply with the U.S. Trustee fee guidelines; however,
any time that such professionals seek payment of fees and expenses from the Debtors, each professional shall provide summary copies of its fee and expense statements or invoices (which shall not be required to contain time entries and which may be
redacted or modified to the extent necessary to delete any information subject to the attorney-client privilege, any information constituting attorney work product, or any other confidential information, and the provision of such invoices shall not
constitute any waiver of the attorney-client privilege or of any benefits of the attorney work-product doctrine) to the U.S. Trustee and counsel to the Committee (if appointed) contemporaneously with the delivery of such fee and expense statements
to the Debtors. After delivery of a fee and expense statement or invoice, the Debtors, the U.S. Trustee, and the Committee (if appointed) shall have ten (10) days to raise an objection thereto. If an objection is timely raised, such objection
shall be subject to resolution by the Court. Pending such resolution, the undisputed portion of any such fee and expense statement or invoice shall be paid promptly by the Debtors. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Debtors are authorized and
directed to pay upon entry of this Interim Order all reasonable and documented fees, costs, and out-of-pocket expenses of legal and financial advisors to the DIP Agent
provided for in the DIP Credit Agreement incurred on or prior to such date without the need for any professional engaged by the DIP Agent or the DIP Lenders to first deliver a copy of its invoice as provided for herein. No attorney or advisor to the
DIP Agent or Ad Hoc Committee shall be 

  
 - 59 - 

 
required to file an application seeking compensation for services or reimbursement of expenses with the Court. Any and all fees, costs, and expenses paid prior to the Petition Date by any of the
Debtors to the (i) DIP Agent or DIP Lenders in connection with the DIP Facility, (ii) Prepetition Secured Parties in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, and (iii) legal and financial advisors to the Ad Hoc Committee, the members of
which constitute DIP Lenders, are hereby approved in full. For the avoidance of doubt, the fees set forth in any engagement letter executed by any of the Debtors prior to the Petition Date with any of the legal or financial advisors to the Ad Hoc
Committee shall be deemed reasonable for all purposes under this Order, including, without limitation, under paragraph 12(h) hereof and this paragraph 35. 

36.    Indemnification. To the extent provided by the DIP Credit Agreement, the Debtors shall, jointly and
severally, indemnify and hold harmless the DIP Agent, each of the DIP Lenders, and each of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, fiduciaries, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys and representatives from and against all losses, claims,
liabilities, damages, and expenses (including out-of-pocket fees and disbursements of counsel) in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding, or the
preparation of any defense with respect thereto, arising out of or relating to the DIP Facility or the transactions contemplated in the DIP Credit Agreement or the other DIP Documents. 

37.    Proofs of Claim. The DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, and the Prepetition Secured Parties will not be required to
file proofs of claim in any of the Chapter 11 Cases or Successor Cases for any claim allowed herein. Notwithstanding any order entered by the Court in relation to the establishment of a bar date in any of the Chapter 11 Cases or Successor Cases to
the contrary, each of the Prepetition ABL Agent, the Prepetition Term Agent, the Prepetition IPCo 

  
 - 60 - 

 
New Money Notes Indenture Trustee and the Prepetition IPCo Exchange Notes Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and entitled, in its sole discretion, to file a single consolidated master proof
of claim on behalf of the Prepetition ABL Secured Parties, the Prepetition Term Secured Parties, the Prepetition IPCo New Money Notes Secured Parties, and the Prepetition IPCo Exchange Notes Secured Parties, as applicable, in each of the Chapter 11
Cases or Successor Cases, and such master proof of claim shall constitute the filing of a proof of claim. Any proof of claim filed by Prepetition ABL Agent, the Prepetition Term Agent, the Prepetition IPCo New Money Notes Indenture Trustee, or the
Prepetition IPCo Exchange Notes Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to be in addition to and not in lieu of any other proof of claim that may be filed by any of the Prepetition ABL Secured Parties, the Prepetition Term Secured Parties, the Prepetition
IPCo New Money Notes Secured Parties, and the Prepetition IPCo Exchange Notes Secured Parties, respectively. The provisions of this paragraph [37] and each master proof of claim are intended solely for the purpose of administrative convenience and
shall not affect the right of each Prepetition Secured Party (or its successors in interest) to vote separately on any plan proposed in these Chapter 11 Cases or to assert that the amount of its claim is different from that set forth on the
applicable master proof of claim. The master proofs of claim shall not be required to attach any instruments, agreements or other documents evidencing the obligations owing by each of the Debtors to the applicable Prepetition Secured Parties, which
instruments, agreements or other documents will be provided upon written request to counsel to the applicable Prepetition Secured Party. 

  
 - 61 - 

 38.    Professional Fees Account. The Debtors shall
(i) contemporaneously with the initial funding of the Loans, transfer cash proceeds from the DIP Facility in an amount equal to the total budgeted weekly Professional Fees for the first two weekly periods set forth in the Budget and
(ii) thereafter on a weekly basis transfer cash proceeds from the DIP Facility or cash on hand in an amount equal to the total budgeted weekly Professional Fees for the next unfunded week set forth in the Budget, in each case into a segregated
account not subject to the control of the DIP Agent, any DIP Lender, or any Prepetition Secured Party (the “Professional Fees Account”). 

39.    The Debtors shall cause funds held in the Professional Fees Account to be used to pay Professional Fees as they
become allowed and payable pursuant to any interim or final orders of the Bankruptcy Court or otherwise; provided that when all allowed Professional Fees have been paid in full (regardless of when such Professional Fees are allowed by
the Bankruptcy Court), any funds remaining in the Professional Fees Account shall revert to the Debtors for use in accordance with the DIP Credit Agreement and this Interim Order; provided further that the Debtors’
obligations to pay allowed Professional Fees shall not be limited or be deemed limited to funds held in the Professional Fees Account. 

40.    The Professional Fees Account, and all funds held in the Professional Fees Account, shall be held in trust
exclusively for the benefit the Professional Persons (as defined below), including with respect to obligations arising out of the Carve-Out. Funds transferred to the Professional Fees Account shall not be
subject to any liens or claims granted to the DIP Lenders or to any other party pursuant to this Interim Order (whether on account of adequate protection, Diminution in Value, or otherwise), shall not constitute Collateral, Cash Collateral, or DIP

  
 - 62 - 

 
Collateral, and shall not be or be deemed to be property of any Debtor’s estate; provided that the DIP Collateral shall include the Debtors’ reversionary interest in funds
held in the Professional Fees Account, after all Professional Fees have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (regardless of when such Professional Fees are allowed by the Court. 

41.    Carve-Out. 

(a)    As used in this Interim Order, the term “Carve-Out” means
the sum of: (i) all fees required to be paid to the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and to the Office of the United States Trustee under section 4001(c)(1)(B) 1930(a) of title 28 of the United States Code plus interest at the statutory rate
(without regard to the notice set forth in (iii) below); (ii) fees and expenses up to $50,000 incurred by a trustee under section 726(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (without regard to the notice set forth in (iii) below); (iii) to the extent
allowed at any time, whether by interim or final compensation order, all unpaid fees and expenses (including transaction fees or success fees) incurred by persons or firms retained by the Debtors pursuant to section 327, 328 or 363 of the Bankruptcy
Code (collectively, the “Debtor Professionals”) and any official committee of unsecured creditors (the “Committee Professionals” and, together with the Debtor Professionals, the “Professional
Persons” and such fees and expenses of the Professional Persons, the “Professional Fees”) appointed in the Cases pursuant to section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code at any time before or on the first business day after delivery
by the DIP Agent of a Carve-Out Trigger Notice (defined below) including success or transaction fees earned by or payable to a Professional Person, whether allowed by the Bankruptcy Court prior to or after
delivery of a Carve-Out Trigger Notice (as defined below) and without regard to whether such fees and expenses are provided for in the Budget; and (iv) allowed Professional Fees incurred after the first
Business 

  
 - 63 - 

 
Day following delivery by the DIP Agent of the Carve-Out Trigger Notice (as defined below), to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order,
procedural order or otherwise in an aggregate amount not to exceed $6,000,000 with respect to Professional Persons (the amount set forth in this clause (iv) being the “Post-Carve-Out Trigger
Notice Cap”). 
 (b)    For purposes of the foregoing,
“Carve-Out Trigger Notice” shall mean a written notice delivered by email (or other electronic means) by the DIP Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders (or, following the
satisfaction in full of all DIP Obligations, the Prepetition Agents and Prepetition IPCo Trustees, upon appropriate direction in accordance with the applicable underlying documents) to the Debtors, their lead restructuring counsel (Weil,
Gotshal & Manges LLP), counsel to the Ad Hoc Committee (Milbank LLP), the U.S. Trustee, and lead counsel to the Committee (if any), which notice may be delivered following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default
and acceleration of the obligations under the DIP Facility (or, following a DIP Repayment, any occurrence that would constitute an Event of Default hereunder) or the occurrence of the Maturity Date (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), stating
that the Post-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Cap has been invoked. 
 (c)    On the
day on which a Carve-Out Trigger Notice is received by the Loan Parties, the Carve-Out Trigger Notice shall constitute a demand to the Debtors to utilize all cash on
hand (including cash contained in the DIP Funding Account (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement)) to fund a cash reserve in an amount equal to all obligations benefitting from the Carve-Out. The Debtors will
deposit and hold such amounts in a segregated account outside the control of any DIP Lender or any Prepetition Secured Party exclusively to pay such obligations (the “Carve-Out Reserve
Account”), provided that the Carve-Out Reserve Account may be the Professional Fees Account. 

  
 - 64 - 

 (d)    For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that Professional Fees
and expenses of the Professional Persons have been incurred by the Debtors at any time before or on the first business day after delivery by the DIP Agent (or, following a DIP Repayment, the Prepetition Agents and Prepetition IPCo Indenture
Trustees) of a Carve-Out Trigger Notice but have not yet been allowed by the Bankruptcy Court on the date that the DIP Agent (or, following a DIP Repayment, the Prepetition Agents and Prepetition IPCo
Indenture Trustees) delivers a Carve-Out Trigger Notice, such Professional Fees and expenses of the Professional Persons shall benefit in all respects from the
Carve-Out, regardless of whether such fees are allowed by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to an interim order, final order, or otherwise entered before or after delivery of the
Carve-Out Trigger Notice. 
 (e)    Following delivery of a Carve-Out Trigger Notice, the DIP Agent shall deposit into the Carve-Out Reserve Account any and all cash swept or foreclosed upon (including cash received as a result of the
sale or other disposition of any assets) until the Carve-Out Reserve Account has been fully funded in an amount equal to all obligations benefiting from the Carve-Out
regardless of whether such obligations have been allowed by the Bankruptcy Court (pursuant to an interim order, final order, or otherwise) as of such date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the DIP Documents, following delivery
of a Carve-Out Trigger Notice, the DIP Agent shall not sweep or foreclose on cash (including cash received as a result of the sale or other disposition of any assets) of the Debtors until the Carve-Out Reserve Account has been fully funded in an amount equal to all obligations benefiting from the Carve-Out. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
(i) disbursements by the Debtors from the 

  
 - 65 - 

 
Carve-Out Reserve Account shall not constitute DIP Loans, (ii) the failure of the Carve-Out Reserve Account to
satisfy in full the Professional Fees shall not affect the priority of the Carve-Out, and (iii) in no way shall the Carve-Out, the Professional Fees Account or the
Budget Requirement, or any of the foregoing be construed as a cap or limitation on the amount of the Professional Fees that may be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court and payable by the Debtors and their estates at any time (whether by interim order,
final order, or otherwise). 
 (f)    For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or
in the DIP Documents, the Carve-Out shall be senior to all liens and claims with respect to the Debtors’ estates, including all liens securing and all claims on account of the DIP Facility, any adequate
protection liens, and superpriority claims (whether granted on account of the DIP Facility, as adequate protection, or otherwise), and any and all other liens and claims. For the avoidance of doubt, if a DIP Repayment occurs or the DIP Facility is
otherwise terminated, the DIP Order shall remain in full force and effect, including with respect to the Debtors’ use of Cash Collateral, the Carve-Out, the
Carve-Out Reserve Account, and all related provisions in respect thereof, and the Prepetition Agents and Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees shall assume any rights and obligations that the DIP Agent
previously had with respect to the Carve-Out and the Carve-Out Reserve Account. 

42.    No Direct Responsibility for Fees or Disbursements. Subject to any of the DIP Agent’s, DIP
Lenders’, or Prepetition Secured Parties’ obligations with respect to the Carve-Out, none of the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, or the Prepetition Secured Parties shall be (i) responsible for the
direct payment or reimbursement of any fees or disbursements of any Professional Persons incurred in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases, or 

  
 - 66 - 

 
(ii) obligated in any way to compensate, or to reimburse expenses of, any Professional Persons or to guarantee that the Debtors have sufficient funds to pay such compensation or reimbursement.

 43.    Limitations on Use of DIP Proceeds, Cash Collateral, and
Carve-Out. No proceeds of the DIP Facility, the DIP Collateral, or the Prepetition Collateral, in each case, including Cash Collateral may be used in connection with (a) except to contest the
occurrence of an Event of Default (hereunder or under the DIP Credit Agreement) or an ABL Cash Collateral Termination Event, or to seek the non-consensual use of Cash Collateral following the commencement of
the Remedies Notice Period, preventing, hindering, or delaying any of the DIP Agent’s or the DIP Lenders’ realization upon any of the DIP Collateral or enforcement of any of their respective rights thereto in accordance with paragraph
[31]; (b) for any purpose that is prohibited under this Interim Order, the Final Order (when entered), the DIP Documents, or the Bankruptcy Code; (c) to prosecute or finance in any way any adversary action, suit, arbitration, proceeding,
application, motion, or other litigation of any type adverse to the interests of any or all of the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, or the Prepetition Secured Parties, any of their respective affiliates, agents, attorneys, advisors, professionals,
officers, directors, or employees, or their respective rights and remedies under DIP Documents, the Interim Order, the Final Order (when entered), or the Prepetition Documents, including, without limitation, any actions under chapter 5 of the
Bankruptcy Code, section 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, or any other avoidance actions under the Bankruptcy Code or applicable state law equivalents; (d) for the payment of fees, expenses, interest, or principal under the Prepetition Documents
(in each case, other than payments on account of the Adequate Protection Obligations or required by this Interim Order); (e) unless the Exit Conversion occurs, to make any distribution under a plan of reorganization confirmed in

  
 - 67 - 

 
the Chapter 11 Cases that does not provide for the indefeasible payment of the DIP Loans in full and in cash; (f) except as permitted by the Budget Requirement, to make any payment in
settlement of any claim, action, or proceeding in excess of $500,000 in the aggregate without the prior written consent of the DIP Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders; (g) [reserved]; (h) incurring Indebtedness (as
defined in the DIP Credit Agreement), except to the extent permitted under the DIP Credit Agreement or this Interim Order; (i) seeking to amend or modify any of the rights granted to the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, or the Prepetition Secured
Parties under this Interim Order, the DIP Documents, or the Prepetition Documents; (j) seeking to subordinate, recharacterize, disallow, or avoid the DIP Obligations or the Prepetition Obligations, other than seeking a determination
(i) that payments provided on account of adequate protection should be recharacterized under section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code as payments on account of the secured portion of the Prepetition Secured Facilities and (ii) as to the value
of collateral securing the Prepetition Secured Facilities as of the Petition Date; (k) [reserved]; or (l) to pay allowed fees and expenses, in an amount in excess of $50,000 in the aggregate (the “Investigation Budget
Amount”), incurred by Committee Professionals (if a Committee is appointed), in investigating (but not prosecuting or challenging) the validity, enforceability, perfection, priority, or extent of the Prepetition Liens (the
“Investigation”) before the Challenge Deadline (as defined below); provided that the foregoing shall not limit or be deemed to limit in any way the Debtors’ authority to (x) seek a determination (i) that
payments provided on account of adequate protection should be recharacterized under section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code as payments on account of the secured portion of the Prepetition Secured Facilities and (ii) as to the value of collateral
securing the Prepetition Secured Facilities as of the Petition Date; and (y) to satisfy obligations benefitting 

  
 - 68 - 

 
from the Carve Out, in each case incurred by Professional Persons retained by the Debtors. Except with respect to the Committee’s Investigation Budget Amount, any Professional Fees incurred
by or on behalf of Committee Professionals in connection with any of the activities described in this paragraph 43 shall not constitute an allowed administrative expense claim for purposes of section 1129(a)(9)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

44.    Effect of Stipulations on Third Parties. 

(a)    Generally. The Debtors’ Stipulations set forth in paragraph F of this Interim Order shall be binding
on the Debtors and any successor thereto (including, without limitation, any chapter 7 or chapter 11 trustee appointed or elected for any of the Debtors) upon entry of this Interim Order. The Stipulations shall also be binding on all creditors and
all other parties in interest and all of their respective successors and assigns, including, without limitation, a Committee (if appointed), unless, and solely to the extent that, a party in interest with standing and requisite authority
(i) has timely commenced an appropriate proceeding or contested matter required under the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules, including, without limitation, as required pursuant to Part VII of the Bankruptcy Rules (in each case subject to the
limitations set forth in this paragraph 44) (A) objecting to or challenging the amount, validity, or enforceability of the Prepetition Obligations or the perfection or priority of the Prepetition Liens or (B) otherwise asserting or prosecuting
any action for preferences, fraudulent conveyances, other avoidance power claims or any other claims, counterclaims or causes of action, objections, contests or defenses against the Prepetition Secured Parties or any of such parties’
affiliates, representatives, attorneys or advisors in connection with matters related to the Prepetition Documents, the Prepetition Secured Debt, and the Prepetition Collateral (each such proceeding or contested matter,

  
 - 69 - 

 
a “Challenge”) by no later than (a) for a Committee (if appointed), sixty (60) days from its formation or (b) for all other parties in interest (excluding the
Debtors), seventy-five (75) days following the entry of the Interim Order (the “Challenge Deadline”), as such deadline may be extended in writing from time to time in the sole discretion of the Prepetition ABL Agent (with
respect to the Prepetition ABL Liens and Prepetition ABL Obligations), the Prepetition Term Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Term Lenders (with respect to the Prepetition Term Liens and Prepetition Term Obligations), and the
Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees (with respect to the Prepetition IPCo Liens and Prepetition IPCo Notes Obligations) or by this Court for good cause shown pursuant to an application filed by a party in interest prior to the expiration of the
Challenge Deadline, and (ii) this Court enters judgment in favor of the plaintiff or movant in any such timely and properly commenced Challenge and any such judgment has become a final judgment that is not subject to any further review or
appeal, and then only to the extent of any such final judgment. 
 (b)    Binding Effect. To the extent no
Challenge is timely and properly commenced by the Challenge Deadline, or to the extent such Challenge does not result in a final and non-appealable judgment or order that is inconsistent with any of the
Debtors’ Stipulations, then, without further notice, motion, or application to, order of, or hearing before, this Court and without the need or requirement to file any proof of claim, the Debtors’ Stipulations shall, pursuant to this
Interim Order, become irrevocably binding on any person, entity, or party in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases, as well as their successors and assigns, and in any Successor Case for all purposes and shall not be subject to further challenge or
objection. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any Challenge is properly and timely commenced by a party in interest, the 

  
 - 70 - 

 
Debtors’ Stipulations shall nonetheless remain binding on all other parties in interest. To the extent any Challenge is timely and properly commenced, the Prepetition Secured Parties shall
be entitled to, as adequate protection, payment of the related costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in defending themselves against any Challenge; provided that, any such fees shall be subject
to recharacterization in the event a Challenge is granted pursuant to a final order not subject to appeal. 

45.    No Third-Party Rights. Except as explicitly provided for herein, this Interim Order does not create any
rights for the benefit of any third party, creditor, equity holder, or any direct, indirect, or incidental beneficiary. 

46.    Section 506(c) Claims. Subject to entry of the Final Order with respect to parties other than the DIP Agent
and the DIP Lenders, and except to the extent of the Carve-Out, no costs or expenses of administration that have been or may be incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases at any time shall be charged against the DIP
Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Prepetition ABL Agent, the Prepetition ABL Secured Parties; Prepetition Term Agent, the Prepetition Term Lenders, the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees, the Prepetition IPCo Noteholders, the DIP Collateral, or the
Prepetition Collateral pursuant to sections 105 or 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the DIP Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), the Prepetition Term Agent (acting at the direction
of the Required Lenders), or the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees, as applicable, and no such consent shall be implied from any action, inaction, or acquiescence by any party. 

47.    No Marshaling/Applications of Proceeds. The DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders and the Prepetition Secured Parties
other than the Prepetition ABL Secured Parties shall not be 

  
 - 71 - 

 
subject to the equitable doctrine of “marshaling” or any other similar doctrine with respect to any of the DIP Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral; provided, that the
Prepetition ABL Agent, acting at the direction of the Requisite Lenders (as defined in the Prepetition ABL Credit Agreement), shall first realize on the ABL Adequate Protection Liens and ABL 507(b) Claims from DIP Collateral that constitutes ABL
Priority Collateral (now owned or hereafter acquired) before realizing on such liens and claims from DIP Collateral of any other Debtor; provided, further, that the Prepetition Term Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Term
Lenders, shall first realize on the Term Adequate Protection Liens and Term 507(b) Claims from DIP Collateral of the Term Debtors before realizing on such liens and claims from DIP Collateral of any other Debtor; provided, further,
still that the Prepetition IPCo Trustees, acting at the direction of Holders (as defined under the applicable Prepetition IPCo Notes Indenture) of a majority in principal amount of the total Prepetition IPCo Notes then outstanding under the
applicable Prepetition IPCo Notes Indenture, shall first realize on the IPCo Adequate Protection Liens and IPCo 507(b) Claims from DIP Collateral of the IPCo Debtors before realizing on such liens and claims from DIP Collateral of any other Debtor.

 48.    Section 552(b). Subject to entry of the Final Order, the Prepetition Secured Parties shall each be
entitled to all of the rights and benefits of section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, and the “equities of the case” exception thereunder shall not apply to any of them. 

49.    Limits on Lender Liability. Nothing in this Interim Order, any of the DIP Documents, the Prepetition
Documents, or any other documents related thereto, shall in any way be construed or interpreted to impose or allow the imposition upon the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, or the Prepetition Secured Parties of any liability for any claims arising from
any activities 

  
 - 72 - 

 
by the Debtors in the operation of their businesses or in connection with the administration of these Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases. The DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, and the Prepetition
Secured Parties shall not, solely by reason of having made loans under the DIP Facility or authorizing the use of Cash Collateral, be deemed in control of the operations of the Debtors or to be acting as a “responsible person” or
“owner or operator” with respect to the operation or management of the Debtors (as such terms, or any similar terms, are used in the United States Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, 29 U.S.C. §§
9601 et seq., as amended, or any similar federal or state statute). Nothing in this Interim Order or the DIP Documents, shall in any way be construed or interpreted to impose or allow the imposition upon the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, or any
of the Prepetition Secured Parties of any liability for any claims arising from the prepetition or postpetition activities of any of the Debtors. 

50.    Insurance Proceeds and Policies. Upon entry of this Interim Order and to the fullest extent provided by
applicable law, the DIP Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the DIP Secured Parties), the Prepetition ABL Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the Prepetition ABL Lenders), the Prepetition Term Agent (for itself and for the benefit of the
Prepetition Term Secured Parties), and the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees (for themselves and for the benefit of the applicable Prepetition IPCo Noteholders), shall be, and shall be deemed to be, without any further action or notice, named as
additional insured and loss payee on each insurance policy maintained by the Debtors that in any way relates to the DIP Collateral. 

51.    Joint and Several Liability. Nothing in this Interim Order shall be construed to constitute a substantive
consolidation of any of the Debtors’ estates, it being understood, however, that the Debtors shall be jointly and severally liable for the obligations hereunder and all DIP Obligations in accordance with the terms hereof and of the DIP
Documents. 

  
 - 73 - 

 52.    Rights Preserved. Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the entry of this Interim Order is without prejudice to, and does not constitute a waiver of, expressly or implicitly, subject to the Transaction Support Agreement, the DIP Documents, the Prepetition Documents and the Intercreditor
Agreements: (a) the DIP Agent’s, DIP Lenders’, and Prepetition Secured Parties’ rights to seek any other or supplemental relief; (b) any of the rights of any of the DIP Agent, DIP Lenders, and/or the Prepetition Secured
Parties under the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, including, without limitation, the right to (i) request modification of the automatic stay imposed by section 362 of the Bankruptcy
Code, (ii) request dismissal of any of the Chapter 11 Cases or Successor Cases, conversion of any of the Chapter 11 Cases to cases under chapter 7, or appointment of a chapter 11 trustee or examiner with expanded powers, or (iii) propose,
subject to the provisions of section 1121 of the Bankruptcy Code, a chapter 11 plan or plans; or (c) any other rights, claims, or privileges (whether legal, equitable, or otherwise) of any of the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, or the Prepetition
Secured Parties. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the entry of this Interim Order is without prejudice to, and does not constitute a waiver of, expressly or implicitly, the Debtors’, a Committee’s (if appointed), or any
party in interest’s right to oppose any of the relief requested in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence except as expressly set forth in this Interim Order. Entry of this Interim Order is without prejudice to any and all rights of
any party in interest with respect to the terms and approval of the Final Order and any other position which any party in interest deems appropriate to raise in these Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases. For all adequate protection and stay
relief purposes throughout the Chapter 11 Cases, the Prepetition Secured Parties shall be 

  
 - 74 - 

 
deemed to have requested relief from the automatic stay and adequate protection as of the Petition Date. For the avoidance of doubt, such request will survive termination of this Interim
Order. 
 53.    No Waiver by Failure to Seek Relief. The failure of the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, or the
Prepetition Secured Parties to seek relief or otherwise exercise their rights and remedies under this Interim Order, the DIP Documents, the Prepetition Documents, or applicable law, as the case may be, shall not constitute a waiver of any of the
rights hereunder, thereunder, or otherwise of the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, or the Prepetition Secured Parties. 

54.    Binding Effect of Interim Order. Immediately upon entry on the docket of this Court, the terms and
provisions of this Interim Order shall become binding upon the Debtors, the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Prepetition Secured Parties, all other creditors of any of the Debtors, any Committee, and all other parties in interest and their respective
successors and assigns, including any trustee or other fiduciary hereafter appointed in any of the Chapter 11 Cases, any Successor Cases, or upon dismissal of any Case or Successor Case. 

55.    No Modification of Interim Order. A motion or pleading filed by any of the Debtors to modify, stay, vacate,
amend, or reverse this Order shall be an Event of Default unless and until: (a) the DIP Obligations and the Prepetition Obligations (other than contingent obligations with respect to then unasserted claims) have been indefeasibly paid in full
in cash (such payment being without prejudice to any terms or provisions contained in the DIP Facility which survive such discharge by their terms), and all commitments to extend credit under the DIP Facility have been terminated; or (b) the
DIP Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), the Prepetition ABL Agent, the Prepetition Term Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Term Lenders), and the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees consent to such motion or
pleading. 

  
 - 75 - 

 56.    Continuing Effect of Intercreditor Agreements. The
Debtors, the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, and the Prepetition Secured Parties each shall be bound by, and in all respects of the DIP Facility shall be governed by, and be subject to all the terms, provisions, and restrictions of the Intercreditor
Agreements. 
 57.    Interim Order Controls. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions
of the DIP Documents and this Interim Order, the provisions of this Interim Order shall control. 

58.    Discharge. The DIP Obligations and, except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs [12(b)], [12(e)], and [12(g)]
hereof, the obligations of the Debtors with respect to the adequate protection provided herein shall not be discharged by the entry of an order confirming any plan of reorganization in any of the Chapter 11 Cases, notwithstanding the provisions of
section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless (x) such obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), on or before the effective date of such
plan of reorganization, (y) each of the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Prepetition Agents, and the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees, as applicable, has otherwise agreed in writing or as otherwise provided herein or (z) each of DIP
Agent, the DIP Lenders, the Prepetition Agents, and the Prepetition IPCo Indenture Trustees have accepted their treatment in a plan of reorganization or liquidation as provided herein; provided, that the DIP Loans shall automatically and
mandatorily convert into the Exit Term Loans upon the occurrence of the Exit Conversion (as defined in the DIP Credit Agreement, the “Exit Conversion”) in accordance with the DIP Credit Agreement. It shall be an Event of Default if
the Debtors shall propose or support any plan of reorganization or sale of all or substantially all of the 

  
 - 76 - 

 
Debtors’ assets, or order confirming such plan or approving such sale, that is not (1) conditioned upon the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the DIP Obligations (other than
contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted), and the payment of the Debtors’ obligations with respect to the adequate protection provided for herein, in full in cash within a commercially reasonable period of
time (and in no event later than the effective date of such plan of reorganization or sale) or (2) on such other terms as are set forth in the Transaction Support Agreement (a “Prohibited Plan or Sale”), without the
written consent of each of the DIP Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders), DIP Lenders, the Prepetition Term Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Term Lenders), the Prepetition ABL Agents, and Prepetition IPCo Indenture
Trustees, as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors’ proposal or support of a Prohibited Plan or Sale, or the entry of an order with respect thereto, shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder and under the DIP Documents. 

59.    Survival. The provisions of this Interim Order, including with respect to the priority of the Carve Out, and
any actions taken pursuant hereto shall survive entry of any order which may be entered: (a) confirming any plan of reorganization in any of the Chapter 11 Cases; (b) converting any of the Chapter 11 Cases to a case under chapter 7 of the
Bankruptcy Code; (c) dismissing any of the Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases; or (d) pursuant to which this Court abstains from hearing any of the Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases. The terms and provisions of this Interim
Order shall continue in the Chapter 11 Cases, in any Successor Cases, or following dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases notwithstanding the entry of any orders described in clauses (a)-(d) above, and all claims, liens, security
interests, and other protections granted to the DIP Agent, the DIP Lenders, and the Prepetition Secured Parties 

  
 - 77 - 

 
pursuant to this Interim Order and/or the DIP Documents shall maintain their validity and priority as provided by this Interim Order until: (i) in respect of the DIP Facility, all the DIP
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted) or the Exit Conversion shall have occurred; and (ii) in respect of the Prepetition ABL Facility,
all of the Prepetition ABL Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted); (iii) in respect of the Prepetition Term Facility, all of the Prepetition
Term Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted); (iv) in respect of the Prepetition IPCo New Money Notes, all of the Prepetition IPCo New Money
Notes Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted); and (v) in respect of the Prepetition IPCo Exchange Notes, all of the Prepetition IPCo
Exchange Notes Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than contingent indemnification obligations for which no claim has been asserted). The terms and provisions concerning the indemnification of the DIP Agent and the DIP
Lenders shall continue in the Chapter 11 Cases, in any Successor Cases, following dismissal of the Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases, following termination of the DIP Documents, and/or the indefeasible repayment of the DIP Obligations. 

60.    Payments Held in Trust. Except as expressly permitted in this Interim Order or the DIP Credit Agreement, and
subject to the Carve-Out in all respects, in the event that any person or entity receives any payment on account of a security interest in DIP Collateral, receives any DIP Collateral or any proceeds of DIP
Collateral, or receives any other payment with respect 

  
 - 78 - 

 
thereto from any other source prior to all DIP Obligations in accordance with the DIP Credit Agreement, such person or entity shall be deemed to have received, and shall hold, any such payment or
proceeds of DIP Collateral in trust for the benefit of the DIP Agent and the DIP Lenders and shall immediately turn over such proceeds to the DIP Agent, or as otherwise instructed by this Court, for application in accordance with the DIP Credit
