	 	Section 2.2	Guaranty of Payment.

constitutes a guarantee of payment when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) and not of collection, and waives any right to require that any resort be had by the Trustee or any other Secured Party to any security held for
the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of the Trustee or any other Secured Party in favor of the Company or any other Person. 

 

	 	Section 2.3	No Limitations. 

 Except for termination or release of a Notes Guarantor’s
obligations hereunder as expressly provided for in Section 2.8 and Article IV, the obligations of each Notes Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason, including any
claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense or set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Guaranteed
Obligations or otherwise (other than defense of payment or performance). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Notes Guarantor hereunder, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be discharged
or impaired or otherwise affected by: (i) the failure of the Trustee or any other Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to exercise or enforce any right or remedy under the provisions of the Indenture or otherwise; (ii) any rescission,
waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, the Indenture or any other agreement, including with respect to any other Notes Guarantor under this Secured Notes Guarantee; (iii) the failure to perfect
any security interest in, or the exchange, substitution, release or any impairment of, any security held by the Trustee or any other Secured Party for the Guaranteed Obligations; (iv) any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the
performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; (v) any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Notes Guarantor or otherwise operate as a discharge of any Notes Guarantor as a matter of law or equity
(other than the payment in full in cash in immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations); (vi) any illegality, lack of validity or enforceability of any Guaranteed Obligation; (vii) any change in the corporate existence, structure
or ownership of the Company, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting the Company or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any Guaranteed Obligation (other than the payment in full in cash in
immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations); (viii) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that such Notes Guarantor may have at any time against the Company, the Trustee, or any other corporation or Person, whether
in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions; provided that nothing herein will prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim; and (ix) any other circumstance (including, without limitation,
any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Trustee that might otherwise constitute a defense to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Company or any other guarantor or surety (other than defense of
payment or performance). Each Notes Guarantor expressly authorizes the Secured Parties (or the Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties) to take and hold security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, to exchange, waive
or release any or all such security (with or without consideration), to enforce or apply such security and direct the order and manner of any sale thereof in their sole discretion or to release or substitute any one or more other guarantors or
obligors upon or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, all without affecting the obligations of any Notes Guarantor hereunder. To the 

  
 First Supplemental
Indenture

fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Notes Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Notes Guarantor or the unenforceability of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of any other Notes Guarantor, other than the payment in full in cash in immediately available funds of all the Guaranteed Obligations. The Trustee
and the other Secured Parties may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by one or more of them by one or more judicial or nonjudicial sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part
of the Guaranteed Obligations, make any other accommodation with the Company or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against the Company, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Notes Guarantor hereunder except
to the extent the Guaranteed Obligations have been paid in full in cash in immediately available funds. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Notes Guarantor waives any defense arising out of any such election even though such
election operates, pursuant to applicable law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Notes Guarantor against any other Notes Guarantor, as the case may be, or any security. 

 

	 	Section 2.4	Reinstatement. 

 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.8, each Notes
Guarantor agrees that its Secured Notes Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned
by the Trustee or any other Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar
officer for, the Company or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. 
  

	 	Section 2.5	Agreement To Pay; Subrogation. 

 In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of
any other right that the Trustee or any other Secured Party has at law or in equity against any Notes Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Company to pay any Guaranteed Obligation when and as the same shall become due, whether at
maturity, by acceleration, after notice of prepayment or otherwise, each Notes Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, to the Trustee for distribution to the applicable Secured Party in cash in immediately available
funds the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligation. Upon payment by any Notes Guarantor of any sums to the First Lien Collateral Agent as provided above, all rights of such Notes Guarantor against the Company arising as a result thereof by
way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subject to Section 7.06 of the Indenture. 
  

	 	Section 2.6	Information. 

 Each Notes Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping
itself informed of the Company’s financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks

that such Notes Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Trustee nor any other Secured Party will have any duty to advise such Notes Guarantor of information known to
it or any of them regarding such circumstances or risks. 
  

	 	Section 2.7	Maximum Liability. 

 Each Notes Guarantor, and by its acceptance of each Secured Notes
Guarantee, the Trustee and each Secured Party hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that its Secured Notes Guarantee and its Guaranteed Obligations not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code or any other federal, state or foreign bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent
applicable to this Secured Notes Guarantee and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Notes Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the First Lien Collateral Agent, the Secured Parties and the Notes Guarantors hereby irrevocably
agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Notes Guarantor under this Secured Notes Guarantee at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Notes Guarantor under this Secured Notes
Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. 
  

	 	Section 2.8	Termination and Release.

obligations hereunder in accordance with Article IV hereof.

the Indenture or the Company’s discharge of its obligations with respect to the Secured Notes pursuant to the Indenture; and 
 (e) as
described under Article IX of the Indenture.

of (x) the most recent Redetermination Date and (y) the last adjustment of the Borrowing Base made pursuant to this Section 2.14(k), is greater than: 

(A) during the period from the Third Amendment Effective Date until the first Scheduled Redetermination of the Borrowing Base

Borrowing Base value attributed to such Borrowing Base Properties or Hedge Agreements so Disposed and, if the Required Lenders in fact make any such reduction, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing of such reduction

Test Date, the Specified Collateral Coverage Ratio is less than 1.25:1.0, then the Loan Limit will be automatically reduced on such date to the largest amount possible which would result in the Specified Collateral Coverage Ratio equaling
1.25:1.0. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if, after such reduction of the Loan Limit, the Total Exposure exceeds the Loan Limit, then the Borrower shall, within 30 days of the March Collateral Value Coverage

 Section 4. Redetermination of Borrowing Base and PV-9; Postponement of Scheduled Redetermination. (a)
As of the Effective Date, (i) the Borrowing Base will be equal to $4,000,000,000 and (ii) the PV-9 will be equal to the aggregate Specified Collateral Value on the Third Amendment Effective Date, which Borrowing Base and PV-9 will each remain in
effect until the next Scheduled Redetermination Date, the next Interim Redetermination Date, or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under the Credit Agreement, whichever comes first. This Section 4 constitutes (i) the New Determination Notice
with respect to the redetermined Borrowing Base and PV-9 in accordance with Section 2.14(d), (ii) acknowledgement by the Required Lenders that they have approved each of the redetermined Borrowing Base and PV-9 consistent with each such
Lender’s usual and customary oil and gas lending criteria as they currently exist as provided in Section 2.14(c)(iii), and (iii) the redetermination of the Borrowing Base and the PV-9 required as of the First Scheduled Redetermination

Lender that is not a Consenting Lender agrees in writing to be bound by this Section 4(c). Any assignment of any Consenting Lender’s rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement that does not comply with the foregoing shall be deemed void
ab initio. The restrictions in this Amendment are in addition to any assignment restrictions and conditions in the Credit Agreement, and in the event of a conflict the assignment restrictions contained in this Amendment shall control; provided,
however, that nothing herein shall restrict, waive, or suspend any consent right the Company may have with respect to any assignment.

foregoing, in each case, now owned or at any time hereafter acquired by such Credit Party or in which such Credit Party now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest (collectively, the “Article 9
Collateral”). 
 5.02 Notwithstanding anything in Section 5.01 of this Amendment to the contrary, on and after the
effectiveness of the Security Agreement, the pledge of the Security Interest pursuant to the foregoing Section 5.01 hereof shall be superseded, replaced, amended and restated and continued in full force and effect (and without interruption) in all
respects by the security interest pledged or otherwise granted pursuant to the Security Agreement.

National Association and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as a sub-agent for the limited purpose of perfecting and enforcing the Security Interest granted pursuant to Section 5.01 hereof (in such capacity, each a “Sub-Agent”). During the
Sub-Agency Period, all of the rights, benefits, and privileges (including the exculpatory and indemnification provisions) of Section 12.3 and of Section 12.8 shall apply to any such Sub-Agent and to the Affiliates of any such Sub-Agent, and shall
apply to their respective activities as Sub-Agent as if such Sub-Agent and Affiliates were named therein. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, with respect to each sub-agent appointed by the Administrative Agent, during the Sub-Agency
Period, (i) such Sub-Agent shall be a third party beneficiary under the Credit Agreement with respect to all such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) and shall have all of the rights and
benefits of a third party beneficiary, including an independent right of action to enforce such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) directly, without the consent or joinder of any other
Person, against any or all of Credit Parties and the Lenders, (ii) such rights, benefits and privileges (including exculpatory rights and rights to indemnification) shall not be modified or amended without the consent of such Sub-Agent, and (iii)

indirectly, as a third party beneficiary or otherwise, against such Sub-Agent.

remedy in connection with the Credit Documents with respect to any Violations; (b) amend or alter any provision of the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents, or any other contract or instrument; or (c) constitute any course of dealing or
other basis for altering any obligation of any Credit Party or any right, privilege or remedy of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Credit Agreement, the other Credit Documents, or any other contract or instrument. Nothing in this
letter shall be construed to be a consent by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to any Violations.

 Execution Version 

FIRST-OUT COLLATERAL TRUST AGREEMENT TERM
SHEET 
 Reference is made in this term sheet (this “Term Sheet”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of
December 15, 2014 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Revolver Credit Agreement”), among Chesapeake Energy Corporation (the “Borrower”), the lenders and letter of credit
issuers party thereto from time to time (together with all Hedge Banks, the “Revolver Lenders”), MUFG Union Bank, N.A. as administrative agent for the Revolver Lenders (the “Revolver Agent”, together with the
Revolver Lenders, the “Revolver Secured Parties”) and the other agents party thereto from time to time. Defined terms used but not defined in this Term Sheet have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Revolver Credit Agreement.

 Any agreements drafted to implement this Term Sheet shall constitute Credit Documents under the Revolver Credit Agreement. 

This Term Sheet does not set forth all of the terms that would be included in definitive documents. No commitment or obligation shall arise or exist under or
in connection with this Term Sheet or any negotiations, discussions, drafts or other communications pursuant to, or in connection with, this Term Sheet unless, until, and subject to, the execution and delivery by the relevant parties of written,
definitive documents related to the matters set forth herein. 
  

			
	Common Collateral:	  	The obligations of the Borrower and the Guarantors (the “Loan Parties”) under the Revolver Credit Agreement, inclusive of all interest payments calculated irrespective of whether or not any Loan Party has filed an
Insolvency Proceeding (such obligations, together with the Lender Hedging Obligations, the “Revolver Obligations”) and under a term loan agreement (such obligations, “Term Loan Obligations”) shall be secured by
distinct but equal and ratable liens on the Collateral (the “Common Collateral”) granted or purported to be granted in favor of a collateral trustee (the “Collateral Trustee”) for the benefit of the Revolver Lenders
and the term loan lenders (the “Term Loan Lenders”) and term loan agent (the “Term Loan Agent”, together with the Term Loan Lenders, the “Term Loan Secured Parties”).
		
		  	The liens for the benefit of the Revolver Lenders shall be, at all times, first priority liens on the Common Collateral. The separate liens for the benefit of the Revolver Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall be
equal and ratable liens on the Common Collateral to the extent that the liens in favor of the Terms Loan Secured Parties are (a) enforceable and perfected under applicable law, (b) not avoidable, in whole or in part, under applicable law, and (c)
pursuant to that certain Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2015 between MUFG Union

			
		
		  	Bank, N.A. as Priority Lien Agent, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as Second Lien Collateral Trustee (in such capacity, the “Second Lien Collateral Trustee”) or otherwise under applicable law, entitled to
priority over the liens granted in favor of the Second Lien Collateral Trustee under that certain Indenture, dated December 23, 2015, among Borrower, certain subsidiaries of Borrower, and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, as trustee and
collateral trustee.
		
		  	The Revolver Agent shall assign its existing liens on the Common Collateral to the Collateral Trustee.
		
		  	The Collateral Trust Agreement (as defined below) shall provide that there shall be no liens granted to secure the Term Loan Obligations if such assets are not Common Collateral pledged for the benefit of both the Term Loan Secured
Parties and the Revolver Secured Parties.
		
	Term Loan Obligations:	  	The terms, conditions and covenants of the Term Loan Obligations shall not be, taken as a whole, more restrictive than those set forth in the Revolver Credit Agreement and shall be governed under a separate credit agreement from the
Revolver Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”). The tenor, interest rate and mandatory prepayment provisions shall not be in contravention of the applicable restrictions under the Revolver Credit Agreement, if any, and
the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loan Obligations (including accrued interest, original issue discount or any fees or other amounts added to principal) shall not exceed the amount permitted under the Revolver Credit Agreement.
		
	Collateral Trust Agreement:	  	The respective rights and priorities of the Revolver Secured Parties and Term Loan Secured Parties with respect to payments, the Common Collateral, enforcement of remedies, bankruptcy issues and other customary subordination and
intercreditor provisions shall be set forth in an agreement having terms and conditions satisfactory to the Revolver Agent (the “Collateral Trust Agreement”), including without limitation the terms contained in this Term
Sheet.
		
		  	The Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent, the Term Loan Agent, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall each be party to the Collateral Trust Agreement.

  
 65 

			
		
	Enforcement of Rights and Remedies:	  	Until such time as (a) all Revolver Obligations (other than contingent indemnity obligations as to which no claim has been asserted when all other amounts have been paid) have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (including
payment of all post-petition interest at the default rate whether or not such claims are allowed in an insolvency proceeding), (b) all issued and undrawn letters of credit under the Revolver Credit Agreement are [103]% cash collateralized pursuant
to arrangements satisfactory to the issuer(s) thereof or acceptable back to back letters of credit acceptable to the issuers are posted for their benefit, (c) all Commitments have been terminated and (d) the Revolver Agent has delivered written
notice to the Collateral Trustee stating that the events in clauses (a), (b) and (c) have occurred (collectively, the “Discharge of Revolver Obligations”), the enforcement of all rights and remedies with respect to the Common
Collateral, whether or not an insolvency proceeding has occurred, shall be exercised exclusively by the Collateral Trustee at the direction of the Revolver Agent, and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall (i) have no right to exercise any rights and
remedies with respect to the Common Collateral against any Loan Party (including exercising any rights of set-off), to foreclose upon, or recover in connection with the Common Collateral, or otherwise seek or exercise any enforcement rights or
remedies against any Common Collateral and (ii) be deemed to have consented to any release of the Common Collateral authorized under the Revolver Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous sentence, after the passage of a
period of 180 days following delivery to the Collateral Trustee and Revolver Agent of written notice of acceleration of the Term Loan Obligations (subject to tolling if the Collateral Agent or Revolving Lenders are prohibited from commencing or
proceeding with enforcement proceedings), the Term Loan Lenders may instruct the Collateral Trustee to pursue enforcement remedies with respect to the Common Collateral (unless the Collateral Trustee, at the instruction of the Revolving Lenders,
have commenced and are diligently pursuing enforcement with respect to the Common Collateral).
		
		  	Until the Discharge of Revolver Obligations, the Term Loan Secured Parties shall not (a) take any action or cause to be taken any action to give any Term Loan Secured

  
 66 

			
		
		  	Parties any preference or priority relative to the Revolver Obligations and (b) contest, interfere or delay any exercise of rights and remedies by the Revolver Secured Parties or by the Collateral Trustee on their behalf.
		
	Payment Priority:	  	Until the Discharge of Revolver Obligations, the Term Loan Secured Parties shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Revolver Secured Parties with respect to (x) any proceeds from or on account of Common Collateral (including
any interest earned thereon) or (y) any economic value (whether in the form of cash, securities or otherwise) received or distributed that is associated with the Common Collateral (including value received or distributed as a result of its status as
a creditor in bankruptcy being a secured creditor with liens on the Common Collateral), including but not limited to proceeds or value resulting from the sale, collection or other disposition of the Common Collateral in connection with any
enforcement action or exercise of rights and remedies with respect to the Common Collateral, whether or not pursuant to an insolvency proceeding, and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall not receive or retain any payments, distributions or other
amounts on account thereof, whether such payments, distributions or other amounts are distributed or made in connection with or pursuant to a plan of reorganization or liquidation, sale pursuant to section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, foreclosure or
otherwise.
		
		  	If any Term Loan Secured Party receives any payments, distributions or other amounts in violation of the Collateral Trust Agreement, then the applicable Term Loan Secured Party shall hold such amounts in trust for the benefit of the
Revolver Secured Parties and shall promptly turn over such amounts to the Revolver Agent or the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Revolver Lenders.
		
	Amendments to Term Loan:	  	The Term Loan Secured Parties may not amend or modify the Term Loan Credit Agreement or any ancillary loan documents except with the consent of the Revolver Agent if such amendment or modification would (i) adversely affect the
payment priority rights of the Revolver Secured Parties or the rights of the Revolver Secured Parties to receive payments owing pursuant to the Revolver Credit Agreement, (ii) modify any existing rights or confer any additional rights on the Term
Loan Agent or any other Term Loan Secured Party in a manner adverse to the Revolver Secured Parties (including (A) by increasing

  
 67 

			
		  	interest rates or yields by more than 3% per annum or (B) by adding mandatory prepayments or shortening the maturity, in each case in contravention of the Revolver Credit Agreement), or (iii) contravene the provisions of the
Collateral Trust Agreement or the Revolver Credit Agreement (including such that the Term Loan Obligations would no longer qualify as permitted indebtedness under Section 10.1(s) of the Revolver Credit Agreement). The Term Loan Lenders agree to
amend the Term Loan Credit Agreement and any ancillary loan documents as directed by the Revolver Agent, provided such amendments shall only amend the Term Loan Credit Agreement and such ancillary loan documents to correspond to any revisions made
to the Revolver Credit Agreement or corresponding loan documents relating to the Common Collateral; provided however, that any amendment or modification that customarily requires the consent of all affected Term Loan Lenders shall require the
consent of all affected Term Loan Lenders.
		
	Bankruptcy Related Provisions:	  	DIP Financing and Use of Cash Collateral. If any Loan Party becomes subject to an insolvency proceeding, and if the Revolver Secured Parties desire to permit (or not object to) the use of cash collateral or to permit (or not
object to) any Loan Party to obtain DIP financing, then the Term Loan Secured Parties (a) will be deemed to have consented to and will not object to such use of cash collateral or DIP financing or support any other party objecting to use of cash
collateral or DIP financing and (b) will be deemed to have subordinated the Term Loan Obligations and any adequate protection liens to (i) such DIP financing on the same terms as the Revolver Secured Parties may agree to subordinate the Revolver
Obligations to such DIP financing, (ii) any adequate protection provided to the Revolver Secured Parties and (iii) any “carve-out”.
		
		  	If any Loan Party shall become subject to an insolvency proceeding, no Term Loan Lenders shall provide or direct the Term Loan Agent to provide or consent to any DIP financing or cash collateral use without the written consent of
the Revolver Agent.
		
		  	Adequate Protection. The Term Loan Secured Parties may not prosecute in any insolvency proceeding any motion for adequate protection based upon their interest in the Common Collateral (including for the payment of any
post-

  
 68 

			
		  	petition interest), nor contest (i) any request by the Revolver Secured Parties for adequate protection (including for the payment of post-petition interest on the Revolver Obligations) or (ii) any objection by the Revolver Secured
Parties to any motion, relief, action or proceeding based on the Revolver Secured Parties claiming a lack of adequate protection; provided the Term Loan Secured parties may seek and receive (1) a replacement Lien on the Common Collateral to
secure the Term Loan Lenders with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the insolvency proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code; and (2) adequate protection for the Term Loan Obligations in the form of additional liens on and
superpriority claims to post-petition assets to the same extent granted to the Revolver Agent to secure the Revolver Obligations with the same priority as existed prior to the commencement of the insolvency proceeding.
		
		  	The Term Loan Secured Parties shall turn over to the Revolver Agent, for the benefit of the Revolver Lenders, any post-petition interest paid to the Term Loan Secured Parties, which payments shall be applied to repayment of the
Revolver Obligations until the Discharge of Revolver Obligations (including the payment of all post-petition interest on the Revolver Obligations, regardless whether the Revolver Secured Parties have allowed claims for post-petition interest in any
insolvency proceeding).
		
		  	Section 363 Asset Sales. The Term Loan Secured Parties will not object to or contest, a sale or other disposition of any Common Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code
unless the Revolver Secured Parties shall have opposed or objected to such sale or disposition; provided that the liens of the Revolver Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall attach to the proceeds of the sale subject to the
priorities set forth in the Collateral Trust Agreement or the proceeds shall be applied to repay the Revolver Obligations. To the extent required by any Court in an insolvency proceeding, the Term Loan Lenders shall consent or direct the Term Loan
Agent to consent to, a sale or other disposition of any Common Collateral under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code if the Revolver Secured Parties shall have consented to such sale or disposition,
provided that the liens of the Revolver Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall attach to the proceeds of the sale subject to the priorities set forth in the Collateral Trust Agreement or the proceeds shall be applied to repay
the Revolver Obligations.

  
 69 

			
		
		  	Credit Bidding. The Term Loan Lenders may credit bid, or instruct the Term Loan Agent to credit bid the Term Loan Obligations in accordance with section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, only if the
Revolver Loan Obligations are discharged in full in cash in conjunction with any such credit bid, or if the Revolver Agent consents in writing.
		
		  	The Term Loan Secured Parties agree not to object to any credit bid of the Revolver Loan Obligations in accordance with section 363(k) and other applicable law.
		
		  	Automatic Stay. Each Term Loan Secured Party agrees not to (a) seek (or support or consent to any other person seeking) relief from the automatic stay or any other stay in respect of the Common Collateral in any
insolvency proceeding, without the prior written consent of the Revolver Agent or (b) oppose any request by any Revolver Secured Party to seek relief from the automatic stay in respect of the Common Collateral in any insolvency
proceeding.
		
		  	Rights as Unsecured Creditors. The Term Loan Secured Parties may exercise their rights as unsecured creditors in any insolvency proceeding to the extent such exercise is not inconsistent with, or in contravention of, the
terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement.
		
		  	In the event that any Term Loan Secured Party becomes a judgment lien creditor or execution creditor as a result of its enforcement of its rights as an unsecured creditor, such judgment lien or execution shall be subject to the
terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement for all purposes to the same extent as all other liens securing the Term Loan Obligations are subject to the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement.
		
		  	Agreement as to Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and UCC-9-339. The Collateral Trustee, the Revolver Agent, the Term Loan Agent, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall irrevocably agree that they intend for the
Collateral Trust Agreement to constitute a “subordination agreement” within the meaning of New York law, and UCC-9-339, Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and

  
 70 

			
		  	any other applicable law, that they shall not object to any motion or other pleading in an insolvency proceeding on the grounds that the Collateral Trust Agreement and all of its provisions are not a subordination agreement and that
the terms hereof will survive, and will continue in full force and effect and be binding upon each of the parties thereto, in any insolvency proceeding.
		
		  	Plans of Reorganization. The Collateral Trust Agreement shall provide that because of, among other things, their fundamentally differing rights in the Common Collateral, the Revolver Obligations and the Term Loan Obligations
are fundamentally different from each other and the parties intend for the obligations to be separately classified in any plan of reorganization proposed or adopted in an insolvency proceeding (a “Plan”); provided
however that only the Revolver Agent may consent to classifying the Revolver Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties as a single class. If it is held that the claims of the Revolver Secured Parties and the Term Loan Secured Parties
in respect of the Common Collateral constitute only one secured claim (rather than separate classes of senior and junior secured claims), then the Term Loan Secured Parties shall agree that all distributions shall be made as if there were separate
classes of senior and junior secured claims against the Loan Parties in respect of the Common Collateral. The Term Loan Secured Parties shall agree to turn over to the Revolver Agent, for the benefit of the Revolver Lenders, amounts otherwise
received or receivable by them to the extent necessary to effectuate the priorities set forth in the Collateral Trust Agreement, even if such turnover has the effect of reducing the claim or recovery of the Term Loan Secured Parties.
		
	.	  	Each Term Loan Secured Party agrees that it shall not object or direct the Term Loan Agent to object to a Plan on the grounds that the Revolving Lenders and the Term Loan Lenders are classified separately under any such Plan, and it
is the Term Loan Lenders’ intent that the parties be classified separately in any such Plan. Each Term Loan Secured Party agrees that it will not support or vote to accept a Plan unless such Plan (i) is accepted by the holders of Revolving
Obligations in accordance with Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) provides for Discharge of Revolver Obligations or (iii) provides for the retention of the liens on the Common Collateral by the Revolver Secured Parties and the Term Loan
Secured Parties with the same priorities and rights as set forth in the Collateral Trust Agreement.

  
 71 

			
		
		  	The Revolver Agent may direct any election under section 1111(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to such class.
		
		  	Avoidance Issues. If any Revolver Secured Party is required in any insolvency proceeding or otherwise to disgorge, turn over or otherwise pay to the estate of any Loan Party, because such amount was avoided or ordered to be
paid or disgorged for any reason, then the Revolver Obligations shall be reinstated to the extent of such avoidance and deemed to be outstanding as if such payment had not occurred. The Term Loan Secured Parties agree that none of them shall be
entitled to benefit from any avoidance action affecting or otherwise relating to the Revolver Obligations or Common Collateral, it being understood and agreed that the benefit of such avoidance action otherwise allocable to them shall instead be
allocated and turned over for application in accordance with the priorities set forth in the Collateral Trust Agreement.
		
		  	Standing. Subject only to the terms of this section of the Term Sheet, the parties to the Collateral Trust Agreement shall agree that, in connection with any insolvency proceeding, only the Revolver Agent, or the Collateral
Trustee acting at the direction of the Revolver Secured Parties, may consent to, object to, or take any other action with respect to any sale or other disposition of the Common Collateral under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, any credit bidding
in such sale under section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code, any DIP financing under section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code or cash collateral use, any provision of adequate protection or any confirmation of a plan of reorganization or liquidation under
chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, provided that such action may not contravene the terms of the Collateral Trust Agreement, and the Term Loan Secured Parties shall not be permitted to take such action, except with the written consent of the
Revolver Agent.
		
	Additional Term Loan Obligations:	  	The Collateral Trust Agreement shall provide for the possibility of future term loan credit agreements and term loan lenders with the same rights, obligations and priorities with respect to the Revolver Obligations as the Term Loan
Credit Agreement and the Term Loan Lenders, but with

  
 72 

			
		  	rights, obligations and priorities with respect to the Term Loan Credit Agreement, the Term Loan Lenders and any other term loan lenders subject to the Collateral Trust Agreement to be determined and agreed between the Loan Parties,
the Term Loan Lenders and such other term loan lenders, subject in all respects to the terms of the Revolver Credit Agreement.
		
	Waiver:	  	The Term Loan Secured Parties shall waive any all claims, liabilities, litigation rights or obligations they may have against the Revolver Secured Parties with respect to this Term Sheet, the Collateral Trust Agreement and the
transaction contemplated hereunder.
		
	Governing Law:	  	New York.
		
	Amendments and Waivers:	  	The Collateral Trust Agreement may be amended or waived only by an instrument in writing executed jointly by Revolver Agent, the Term Loan Agent and the Borrower and may be supplemented only by documents delivered or to be delivered
in accordance with the express terms hereof.
