	DIP Revolving Facility:
	The DIP Revolving Lenders shall commit to provide, ratably, a first lien super-priority revolving credit facility (the “DIP Revolving Facility” and the loans under the DIP Revolving Facility, the “DIP Revolving Loans) with a maximum revolving credit amount equal to the principal amount of loans (the “Prepetition First Lien Loans”) outstanding under the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement plus the “Letter of Credit Usage” (as defined under the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement), in each case, as of the Petition Date, minus, after the First Lien Repayment Date, the amount of the First Lien Repayment (the “Maximum Revolver Amount”).
On and after the date on which the First Lien Repayment is made (such date, the “First Lien Repayment Date”), the DIP Revolving Loans will be available from time to time under the DIP Revolving Facility up to a maximum principal amount outstanding at any one time (the “DIP Revolving Availability”) not to exceed the lesser of:

The Borrowing Base (and the component definitions thereof) (i) shall be calculated based in a manner consistent with the calculation of the “Borrowing Base” under the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement, (ii) shall be based solely on the last appraisals conducted for the Existing First Lien Agent prior to the Petition Date and (iii) may not be amended without the written consent of the Requisite DIP Term Lenders.  Further, the reserves under the Borrowing Base (the “Reserves”) shall (i)(x) include reserves under the borrowing base in effect as of the Petition Date under the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement and (y) otherwise, be based solely on events, conditions or other circumstances first becoming known to the DIP Revolving Agent after the Closing Date of the DIP Revolving Facility (including any prior inaccurate reporting by the Borrower), in the case of each of clauses (i)(x) and (i)(y) above, (A) that have a reasonable relationship to the event, condition or other circumstance that caused such change and (B) will be eliminated when the event, condition or other circumstance causing the establishment thereof no longer exists or is no longer relevant to the Debtors’ business as determined in the DIP Revolving Agent’s Permitted Discretion (as defined under the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement), (ii) not be established to the extent that such Reserves would be duplicative of any specific item excluded as ineligible in the component definitions of the Borrowing Base and (iii) not include any amounts under the Carve-Out and the Refinancing Accommodation Fee (as defined below); provided, that no new Reserves shall be established or existing Reserves shall not be increased under the Borrowing Base without three (3) business days prior written notice to the Debtors and the DIP Term Agent on behalf of the DIP Term Lenders (absent exigent circumstances).  The documentation for the DIP Revolving Facility shall not include any language or provision permitting the DIP Revolving Agent to adjust the advance rate or to create new criteria or adjusting existing criteria under the Borrowing Base (and the component definitions hereof) as set forth in the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement.  The DIP Revolving Agent will use its commercially reasonable efforts to consult with the Debtors when establishing new or increasing existing Reserves under the Borrowing Base.  
All cash collateral consisting of (i) proceeds of “First Lien Collateral” (as defined in the Prepetition Intercreditor Agreement) in existence as of the date of the entry of the Interim Order or coming into the possession or control of the Debtors after the date of the entry of the Interim Order, (ii) any proceeds of Existing First Lien Adequate Protection Liens (defined below) and (iii) proceeds of any and all of the Debtors' assets subject to liens granted to the DIP Revolving Agent under the DIP Orders (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, (x) assets held in or credited to the DIP Term Priority Account and (y) proceeds of any DIP Term Loan or DIP Revolving Loan), shall be applied to repay the Prepetition First Lien Obligations (other than the Refinancing Accommodation Fee) in accordance with the terms of the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement until all such amounts are Paid in Full (as defined below); provided, however, that, solely for purposes of determining DIP Revolving Availability, all such repayments of the Prepetition First Lien Obligations shall be deemed to have been applied first to repay the Prepetition First Lien Loans (“Deemed Prepetition First Lien Loan Repayments”).

	Use of Proceeds:
	In accordance with the DIP Budget and the DIP Orders, (i) the proceeds of the DIP Term Facility will be used on the Initial Draw Date, to repay a portion of the outstanding Prepetition First Lien Loans in a principal amount equal to the sum of (x) $10 million plus (y) the aggregate principal amount of advances under the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement made on or after October 31, 2016 and prior to the time of filing the petitions commencing the Cases (such period, the “Pre-Filing Advance Period”) in accordance with a budget satisfactory to the Backstop Parties (the “Pre-Filing Budget”) to the extent such advances result in the aggregate principal amount of the Prepetition First Lien Loans exceeding $122,894,518 as of the Petition Date (such repayment, the “First Lien Repayment”) and (ii) the proceeds of the DIP Term Facility funded on any Draw Date or disbursed on any Withdrawal Date (as defined below) will be used (A) to pay transaction costs, fees and expenses that are incurred in connection with the DIP Term Facility, for working capital and general corporate purposes of the Borrower and the Guarantors, and (B) to make payments providing for adequate protection as set forth in the section below entitled “Adequate Protection”.

	Security and Priority:
	Pursuant to section 364(c)(2), (c)(3) and (d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, subject to the Carve-Out and DIP Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below), (a) all amounts owing by the Debtors under the DIP Revolving Facility and the obligations of the Guarantors in respect thereof will be secured, by a perfected, first priority security interest in and lien on substantially all of the assets of the Borrower and the Guarantors (the “DIP Collateral”) and (b) all amounts owing by the Debtors under the DIP Term Facility and the obligations of the Guarantors in respect thereof will be secured, by a perfected, second priority security interest in and lien on the DIP Collateral, in each case, with the priority set forth in the immediately succeeding paragraph.  For the avoidance of doubt, the DIP Collateral securing the DIP Term Facility shall be identical to the DIP Collateral securing the DIP Revolving Facility.

The liens and security interests granted under the DIP Term Facility (i) will prime and be senior to the liens and security interests in the DIP Collateral securing any prepetition indebtedness, other than the Prepetition First Lien Obligations, and (ii) will be junior to (x) the Carve-Out, (y) the liens on, and security interests in, the DIP Collateral securing the Prepetition First Lien Obligations under the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, any replacement liens constituting Existing First Lien Adequate Protection Liens) and (z) the liens on, and security interests in, the DIP Collateral securing the DIP Revolving Facility; provided, however, that the liens and security interests granted under the DIP Term Facility in the DIP Term Priority Account, and all amounts held therein or credited thereto, will prime and be senior to the liens and security interests securing (A) any prepetition indebtedness, including the indebtedness under the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, any replacement liens constituting Existing First Lien Adequate Protection Liens) and (B) the DIP Revolving Facility.  In addition, the DIP Revolving Facility will be junior in priority of lien and in payment to the Prepetition First Lien Obligations until such Prepetition First Lien Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash and other contingent obligations thereunder are cash collateralized (“Paid in Full”).

	Intercreditor Provisions:
	The respective priorities of (a) the liens on the DIP Collateral securing the obligations under the Second Priority Notes and the DIP Term Facility and (b) the liens on the DIP Collateral securing the obligations under the Existing First Lien Credit Agreement and the DIP Revolving Facility shall be governed by terms and conditions set forth in a intercreditor agreement (the “DIP Intercreditor Agreement”) on substantially the same terms as the Prepetition Intercreditor Agreement (with such changes as necessary to reflect the transactions contemplated by this Term Sheet), and otherwise reasonably satisfactory to the DIP Revolving Agent, DIP Term Agent, the Backstop Parties and the Borrower.
	 

	Carve-Out:
	The liens and claims of the DIP Term Agent and the DIP Term Lenders shall be subject to a carve-out (the “Carve-Out”) for (i) all quarterly fees required to be paid to the clerk of the Bankruptcy Court and to the Office of the United States Trustee under section 1930(a)(6) of title 28 of the United States Code plus interest at the statutory rate (without regard to the notice set forth in (ii) below); (ii) in an aggregate amount not to exceed the amount set forth in the DIP Budget, to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order, procedural order or otherwise, all unpaid reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses incurred by persons or firms retained by the Loan Parties pursuant to section 327, 328 or 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or retained by no more than one statutory committee appointed in the Cases appointed pursuant to section 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code (“Professional Fees”), in each case, before or on the date of delivery by the DIP Term Agent or the DIP Revolver Agent of a Carve-Out Trigger Notice (as defined below) to the Loan Parties and any statutory committee, whether allowed by the Bankruptcy Court prior to or after delivery of a Carve-Out Trigger Notice (such amounts in this provision (ii), the “Pre-Trigger Notice Professional Fees”); and (iii) after the date of delivery of the Carve-Out Trigger Notice (the “Trigger Date”), to the extent incurred after the Trigger Date and allowed at any time thereafter, whether by interim order, procedural order or otherwise, the payment of Professional Fees in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250,000 (the amount set forth in this clause (iii) being the “Post-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Cap”).  Any transaction or success fee (other than any transaction or success fee payable to the professionals for the DIP Term Lenders) shall not be included in the Carve-Out.  For purposes of the foregoing, “Carve-Out Trigger Notice” shall mean notice by (x) the DIP Term Agent to the Loan Parties and the United States Trustee, delivered upon or after the occurrence of an event of default under the DIP Term Facility (including events of default resulting from defaults under the Interim Order or Final Order, as applicable) or (y) the DIP Revolving Agent to the Loan Parties and the United States Trustee, delivered upon or after the occurrence of an event of default under the DIP Revolving Facility (including events of default resulting from defaults under the Interim Order or Final Order, as applicable), in each case, stating that the Post-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Cap has been invoked.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Carve-Out shall be satisfied exclusively from (i) the proceeds in the DIP Term Priority Account and (ii) the proceeds from any assets of the Debtors that do not constitute Prepetition Collateral (as defined below) securing the Prepetition First Lien Obligations and the DIP Collateral securing the obligations under the DIP Revolving Facility and that are not subject to the Existing First Lien Adequate Protection Liens.  For the avoidance of doubt, the liens and claims of (a) the DIP Revolving Lenders, (b) DIP Revolving Agent, (c) Existing First Lien Agent and (d) the Existing First Lien Lenders, in each case, in or to the DIP Term Priority Account shall be subject to the Carve-Out.  
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no portion of the Carve-Out may be utilized for the payment of professional fees, disbursements, costs or expenses incurred in connection with asserting or preparing for any claims or causes of actions against the Existing First Lien Agent, Existing First Lien Lenders, DIP Revolving Agent, DIP Revolving Lenders, Indenture Trustee, the Second Priority Noteholders, the DIP Term Agent or the DIP Term Lenders and/or challenging or raising any defenses to the obligations under the DIP Revolving Loan Documents, Existing First Lien Credit Agreement, Second Priority Notes, the Existing Indenture or the DIP Term Loan Documents, or the liens of the Existing First Lien Agent, Existing First Lien Lenders, DIP Revolving Agent, DIP Revolving Lenders, Indenture Trustee, the Second Priority Noteholders, the DIP Term Agent or the DIP Term Lenders.  
Following the delivery of the Carve-Out Trigger Notice, (i) the DIP Term Agent shall be entitled to sweep all funds held in or credited to the DIP Term Priority Account for the repayment of all Obligations (as defined in the DIP Term Loan Agreement) in accordance with the DIP Term Loan Documents in excess of the amounts necessary to fund: (A) the Carve-Out (after giving effect to the Post-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Cap, including for the avoidance of doubt, the Pre-Trigger Notice Professional Fees) plus (B) to the extent any funds are remaining in excess of the Carve-Out, all employee payroll, employee benefits, employee taxes, claims for health care services pursuant to any of the Debtors’ self-funded insurance, and employee expenses that have been accrued since the last post-petition funded payroll period immediately prior to the Trigger Date through and including the Trigger Date which remain unpaid and have not been separately segregated in any account designated for such payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.3 million (the amounts described in clauses (A) and (B) above, collectively, the “Post-Trigger Carve-Out and Accrued Employee Benefit Amounts”) and (ii) following such sweep, all funds held in or credited to the DIP Term Priority Account shall not be used for any purpose other than to satisfy the Post-Trigger Carve-Out and Accrued Employee Benefit Amounts, as applicable, and any remaining balance shall be applied to the repayment of all Obligations (as defined in the DIP Term Loan Agreement) in accordance with the DIP Term Loan Documents. 
	 

	Interim and Final Orders:
	The order approving the DIP Revolving Facility and the DIP Term Facility on an interim basis, which shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the DIP Revolving Agent, DIP Term Agent and the Backstop Parties (the “Interim Order”), shall authorize and approve (i) the Debtors to enter into the DIP Revolving Loan Documents and the DIP Term Loan Documents, (ii) the making of the DIP Revolving Loans and the DIP Term Loans, (iii) the granting of the super-priority claims and liens against the Loan Parties and their assets in accordance with the DIP Revolving Loan Documents and DIP Term Loan Documents with respect to the DIP Collateral, (iv) the payment of all fees and expenses (including the fees and expenses of outside counsel and financial advisors) required to be paid to the DIP Revolving Agent, DIP Revolving Lenders, DIP Term Agent and the DIP Term Lenders as described in “Indemnification and Expenses” by the Loan Parties and (v) the use of prepetition cash collateral for purposes of reducing the outstanding balance of the Prepetition First Lien Obligations (other than the Refinancing Accommodation Fee) except to the extent required to be paid pursuant to the Final Order.
