provision hereof requiring consent, agreement or approval of Lender shall be deemed to require such consent, agreement or approval
to be in writing and signed by the Lender.

 

1.03        Accounting
Terms

 

(a)          Generally.
All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be construed in conformity with, and all financial data
(including financial ratios and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this Agreement shall be prepared
in conformity with, GAAP applied on a consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent with that
used in preparing the financial statements delivered to the Lender prior to the Closing Date, except as otherwise specifically
prescribed herein.

 

(b)          Changes
in GAAP. If at any time any change in GAAP would affect the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in
any Loan Document, the Lender and the Lead Borrower shall negotiate in good faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve
the original intent thereof in light of such change in GAAP; provided that, until so amended, (i) such ratio or requirement
shall continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein and (ii) the Lead Borrower shall provide
to the Lender financial statements and other documents required under this Agreement or as reasonably requested hereunder setting
forth a reconciliation between calculations of such ratio or requirement made before and after giving effect to such change in
GAAP.

 

1.04        Rounding.
Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement shall be calculated by dividing
the appropriate component by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of places by which such
ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

 

1.05        Times
of Day. Unless otherwise specified, all references herein to times of day shall be references to Eastern time (daylight or
standard, as applicable).

the calculations set forth in Section 4.03(e).

 

    	27

    	 

    

 

(c)          Upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.03 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Borrowing, Section
4.01), the Lender shall use reasonable efforts to make the proceeds of the Borrowing available to the Lead Borrower by no later
than 4:00 p.m. on the requested funding date by wire transfer of such funds to the account of the Lead Borrower in accordance with
instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Lender by the Lead Borrower.]

2.03        Reserved.

 

2.04        Reserved.

 

2.05        Prepayments.

 

(a)          The
Borrowers may, upon irrevocable notice from the Lead Borrower to the Lender, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay
Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Lender
not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date of prepayment of such Loans; (ii) any prepayment shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000
or a whole multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof; or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.
Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the Lead Borrower, the Borrowers
shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid.

 

(b)          Amounts
of Loans repaid may not be reborrowed and do not increase the Commitment.

 

(c)          The
Borrowers shall prepay the Loans with the net proceeds of any sale or disposition of any PP&E promptly upon receipt of such
proceeds.

 

(d)          At
any time that the Outstanding Amount shall exceed the Loan Cap, the Borrowers shall immediately prepay Loans to eliminate such
excess.

 

2.06        Termination
or Reduction of Commitment.

 

(a)          The
Borrowers may, upon irrevocable notice from the Lead Borrower to the Lender, terminate the Commitment or from time to time permanently

three Business Days prior to the date of termination or reduction and (ii) any such partial reduction of the Commitment shall be
in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or any whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

 

(b)          Reserved.

 

    	28

    	 

    

 

(c)          All
fees (including, without limitation, commitment fees) and interest in respect of the Obligations accrued until the effective date
of any termination of the Commitment shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

 

2.07        Repayment
of Loans.

 

The Borrower shall repay
to the Lender on the Termination Date the aggregate principal amount of Loans outstanding on such date.

 

2.08        Interest.

 

(a)          Subject
to the provisions of Section 2.08(b) below, each Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof at
a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate.

 

(b)          (i)          If
any amount payable under any Loan Document is not paid when due (without regard to any applicable grace periods), whether at stated
maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted
by Law.

 

(i)          If
any Event of Default exists, then the Lender may notify the Lead Borrower that all Obligations shall thereafter bear interest at
the Default Rate and thereafter outstanding Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted
by Law.

 

(ii)         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.

 

2.09        Fees.
The Borrowers shall pay to the Lender commitment fees (a) on January 24, 2015, in an amount equal to 2.50% times the amount
by which the Commitment exceeds the Availability Block then in effect, and (b) on any subsequent date on which the Lender decreases
the Availability Block, in an amount equal to 2.50% times the amount of such reduction. The commitment fees shall be fully earned
on the Closing Date, and shall not be subject to refund or rebate for any reason.

 

2.10        Computation
of Interest and Fees. All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the
case may be, and actual days elapsed. 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 2.12(a), bear interest for one day. Each determination
by the Lender of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

    	29

    	 

    

 

2.11        Evidence
of Debt.

 

The Loans made by the
Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by the Lender (the “Loan Account”) in
the ordinary course of business, which shall include the date and amount of each Loan from the Lender, each payment and prepayment
of principal of any such Loan, and each payment of interest, fees and other amounts due in connection with the Obligations due
to the Lender. The accounts or records maintained by the Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the
Loans made by the Lender to the Borrowers 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 Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect
to the Obligations. Upon the request of the Lender, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Lender a Note in the amount
of the Commitment, which shall evidence the Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. The Lender may attach
schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto. Upon receipt
of an affidavit of a Lender as to the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of such Lender’s Note together with an indemnity
from the Lender related thereto in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers, and upon cancellation of such Note,
the Borrowers will issue, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note in favor of the Lender, in the same principal amount thereof and
otherwise of like tenor.

 

2.12        Payments
Generally; Funding Source.

 

(a)          General.
All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment
or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder shall be made to the Lender at
the Lender’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.
All payments received by the Lender after 2:00 p.m. shall, at the option of the Lender, be deemed received on the next succeeding
Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrowers 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.

 

(b)          Funding
Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate the Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner
or to constitute a representation by the Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place
or manner.

 

2.13        Priority;
Liens. All of the Obligations are secured by Liens on substantially all the assets of the Borrowers and, at all times, shall
constitute administrative expenses of the Borrowers in the Bankruptcy Case with priority under Section 364(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy
Code over any and all other administrative expenses of the kind specified in Sections 503(b) and 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code,
subject and subordinate only to the Professional Fee Carve Out. No other claims, except for the aforementioned, having a priority
superior or pari passu to that granted to or on behalf of the Lender shall be granted or approved while any of the Obligations
or the Commitment remain outstanding.

 

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY;

APPOINTMENT OF LEAD BORROWER

 

3.01        Taxes.

 

(a)          Payments
Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document
shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided
that if the Borrowers shall be required by Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes (including any Other Taxes) from such payments,
then (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) the Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such
deductions been made, (ii) the Borrowers shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrowers shall timely pay the full amount deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Law.

 

    	30

    	 

    

 

(b)          Payment
of Other Taxes by the Borrowers. Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Borrowers shall timely pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Law.

 

(c)          Indemnification
by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall indemnify the Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount
of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) paid by the Lender, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental
Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Lead Borrower by the Lender shall be conclusive
absent manifest error.

 

(d)          Evidence
of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrowers to a Governmental
Authority, the Lead Borrower shall deliver to the Lender the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental
Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory
to the Lender.

 

(e)          Treatment
of Certain Refunds. If the Lender reasonably determines, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which
it has been indemnified by the Loan Parties or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, it shall pay to the Lead Borrower, with reasonable promptness following the date upon which it actually realizes such
benefit, an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the
Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses
of the Lender, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund),
provided that the Loan Parties, upon the request of the Lender, agree to repay the amount paid over to the Lead Borrower
(plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Lender in the event that
the Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the
Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Loan
Parties or any other Person.

 

(f)          FATCA.
If a payment made to the Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if the
Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b)
or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), the Lender shall deliver to the withholding agent (i.e., any Loan Party), at the time or
times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by such withholding agent, such documentation prescribed
by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably
requested by such withholding agent as may be necessary for the withholding agent to comply with its obligations under FATCA, to
determine that the Lender has complied with the Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and
withhold from such payment.

3.04        Increased
Costs.

 

(a)          Reserved.

 

(b)          Capital
Requirements. If the Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting the Lender or any Lending Office of the Lender or the
Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on the Lender’s capital or liquidity or on the capital or liquidity of the Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement, the Commitment of the Lender or the Loans made by the Lender, to a level below at which the Lender or the Lender’s
holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Lender’s policies and the policies
of the Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Loan Parties will pay to the
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate the Lender or the Lender’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered.

 

(c)          Certificates
for Reimbursement. A certificate of the Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Lender or its
holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (b) of this Section and delivered to the Lead Borrower shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Loan Parties shall pay such the Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within
10 days after receipt thereof.

 

(d)          Delay
in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of the Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that the Loan Parties
shall not be required to compensate the Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred
or reductions suffered more than 120 days prior to the date that the Lender notifies the Lead Borrower of the Change in Law giving
rise to such increased costs or reductions and of the 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 120 day period referred to above shall
be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

3.06        Reserved.

 

3.07        Survival.
All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive termination of the Commitment hereunder
and repayment of all other Obligations hereunder.

 

3.08        Designation
of Lead Borrower as Borrowers’ Agent.

 

(a)          Each
Borrower hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Lead Borrower as such Borrower’s agent to obtain Loans, the proceeds
of which shall be available to each Borrower for such uses as are permitted under this Agreement. As the disclosed principal for
its agent, each Borrower shall be obligated to each Credit Party on account of Loans so made as if made directly by the applicable
Credit Party to such Borrower, notwithstanding the manner by which such Loans are recorded on the books and records of the Lead
Borrower and of any other Borrower. In addition, each Loan Party other than the Borrowers hereby irrevocably designates and appoints
the Lead Borrower as such Loan Party’s agent to represent such Loan Party in all respects under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents.

 

    	32

    	 

    

 

(b)          Each
Borrower recognizes that credit available to it hereunder is in excess of and on better terms than it otherwise could obtain on
and for its own account and that one of the reasons therefor is its joining in the credit facility contemplated herein with all
other Borrowers. Consequently, each Borrower hereby assumes and agrees to discharge all Obligations of each of the other Borrowers.

 

(c)          The
Lead Borrower shall act as a conduit for each Borrower (including itself, as a “Borrower”) on whose behalf the Lead
Borrower has requested a Borrowing. Neither the Lender nor any other Credit Party shall have any obligation to see to the application
of such proceeds therefrom.

jurisdiction of its organization, (ii) subject to the entry of the DIP Orders, has all requisite power and authority to carry on

None of the proceeds of the Loans shall be used directly or indirectly for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any margin stock,
for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness that was originally incurred to purchase or carry any margin stock or
for any other purpose that might cause any of the Loans to be considered a “purpose credit” within the meaning of Regulations
T, U, or X issued by the FRB.

 

(b)          None
of the Loan Parties, any Person Controlling any Loan Party, or any Subsidiary is or is required to be registered as an “investment

Each Loan Party has disclosed to the Lender all agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any
of its Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. No report, financial statement (including, without limitation, any Approved Budget),
certificate or other information furnished (whether in writing or orally) by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Lender in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or delivered hereunder or under any other Loan
Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished) contains any material misstatement of fact
or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they

the Loan Parties represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable
at the time.

the operation of their respective businesses as currently conducted (“Company IP”), and to the knowledge of the Loan

valid Intellectual Property rights of any other Person. To the knowledge of the Lead Borrower, no claim or litigation regarding
any of the Company IP is pending or threatened in writing, which, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or which claim or litigation would not be stayed by virtue of the filing of the Chapter

threatened. The hours worked by and payments made to employees of the Loan Parties have not been adjudged by any court of competent
jurisdiction to be in violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other applicable federal, state, or local law dealing with
such matters to the extent that any such violation would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. All payments
due from any Loan Party, or for which any claim may be made against any Loan Party, on account of wages and employee health and
welfare insurance and other benefits, have been paid or accrued as a liability on the books of such member. The consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will not give rise to any right of termination or right of renegotiation on
the part of any union under any collective bargaining agreement to which any Loan Party is bound.

 

5.19       Security
Documents. Upon entry of the DIP Orders, the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the DIP Orders), will create
in favor of the Lender, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, a legal, valid, continuing and enforceable perfected first priority
security interest and liens in the Collateral, subject to the Professional Fee Carve Out, the enforceability of which is subject
to the DIP Orders and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law. The financing statements, releases and other filings are in appropriate form and have been or will be filed in the offices
specified in Schedule I of the Security Agreement.

therewith.

 

5.23       Customer
and Trade Relations. There exists no actual or, to the knowledge of any Loan Party, threatened, termination or cancellation
of, or any material adverse modification or change in the business relationship of any Loan Party with any supplier material to
its operations, except as a result of the Bankruptcy Events or the Permitted Store Closings.

 

5.24       Casualty.
Neither the businesses nor the properties of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries are affected by any fire, explosion, accident,
strike, lockout or other labor dispute, drought, storm, hail, earthquake, embargo, act of God or of the public enemy or other casualty
(whether or not covered by insurance) that, either individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

not unreasonably disrupt the normal inventory schedule or process, provided, that the Borrowers shall permit the Lender
to conduct (directly or through a third party of the Lender’s choice) at least one (1) physical count and/or inventory of
so much of the Collateral as consists of Inventory within the first fourteen (14) days after entry of the Initial Order at times

Lead Borrower authorizes the Lender to communicate directly with its independent certified public accountants, financial advisors,

Lender such information relating to each Loan Party with respect to the business, results of operations, prospects and financial

the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon, and all other amounts owing or payable
hereunder or under any other Loan Document to be immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice

    	56

    	 

    

 

In addition to the

to the Lender to sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of the Collateral on terms acceptable to the Lender.

a motion or motions seeking to sell or otherwise dispose of any or all of the Real Estate pursuant to Section 363 of the Bankruptcy

The Borrowers shall
file such motion(s) within five (5) Business Days of the Lender’s request and shall diligently prosecute such motion(s).
If the Borrowers fail to so file or diligently prosecute the motion(s), the Lender may file and prosecute such motion(s) in the
name of the Borrowers.

 

No remedy herein is
intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of Law.

 

8.03       Application

declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by such Credit
Party in its reasonable discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with the Chapter 11 Case
or any successor case or otherwise, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to

an Event of Default). 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, and 9.04 with respect

Lender's obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties, the Lender shall continue to deal solely
and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any Participant shall
agree in writing to comply with all confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 9.07 as if such Participant was the
Lender hereunder. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.04, and 3.01 (subject
to the requirements and limitations therein, to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment
under Sections 3.04 or 3.01, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to
receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the
Participant acquired the applicable participation. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the
benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender. If the Lender sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose
as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters 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 the Loan
Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that the Lender shall not have any obligation to disclose
all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's
interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to
the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit 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.

to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release the Lender from any of its obligations
hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for the Lender as a party hereto.

 

(e)          Electronic
Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like
import in any Assignment and Assumption 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 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.

the Lead Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this
Section or (y) becomes available to any Credit Party or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than the Loan Parties.

Section, “Information” means all information received from the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof relating to the
Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to any
Credit Party on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof, provided that, in the
case of information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified

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 Law, including federal and state securities Laws.

 

9.08       Right
of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if the Lender shall have been served with a trustee
process or similar attachment relating to property of a Loan Party, the Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized
at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or
special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) or other property at any time held and other obligations (in
whatever currency) at any time owing by the Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrowers or
any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document
to the Lender, regardless of the adequacy of the Collateral, and irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of the Borrowers or such Loan Party may be
contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of the Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit
or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of the Lender and its Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that the Lender or its Affiliates may have. The Lender agrees to notify the Lead
Borrower 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.

 

9.09       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 Law (the “Maximum
Rate”). If the 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 Borrowers. In determining whether
the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted
by 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.

 

9.10       Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of 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
Lender and when the Lender shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the
other parties hereto. This Agreement and all other documents (including, without limitation, the Loan Documents) which have been
or may be hereinafter furnished by the Loan Parties to any of the Credit Parties may be reproduced by the Credit Parties by any
photographic, microfilm, xerographic, digital imaging, or other process. Any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence
as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or
not such reproduction was made in the regular course of business). Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this
Agreement by telecopy, pdf or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart
of this Agreement.

9.11       Survival.
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 Credit Parties, regardless of any investigation made by any Credit Party
or on their behalf and notwithstanding that any Credit Party may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of any
Borrowing, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid
or unsatisfied. Further, the provisions of Sections 3.01, 3.04 and 9.04 shall survive and remain in full force
and effect regardless of the repayment of the Obligations, and the Commitment or the termination of this Agreement or any provision
hereof. In connection with the termination of this Agreement and the release and termination of the security interests in the Collateral,
the Lender may require such indemnities and collateral security as it shall reasonably deem necessary or appropriate to protect
the Credit Parties against (x) loss on account of credits previously applied to the Obligations that may subsequently be reversed
or revoked, and (y) any Obligations that may thereafter arise under Section 9.04 hereof.

 

9.12       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.

are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Loan Parties, on the one hand, and the Credit Parties, on the other

    	65

    	 

    

 

9.16       Patriot
Act Notice. The Lender hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required
to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of each
Loan Party and other information that will allow the Lender to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. Each
Loan Party is in compliance, in all material respects, with the Patriot Act. No part of the proceeds of the Loans will be used
by the Loan Parties, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official
of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain
or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as

    	66

    	 

    

 

9.20       Additional
Waivers.

 

(a)          The
Obligations are the joint and several obligation of each Loan Party. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, the obligations of
each Loan Party shall not be affected by (i) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or
exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise,
(ii) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any release from any of the terms or provisions of, this Agreement
or any other Loan Document, or (iii) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the release of, any of the Collateral
or other security held by or on behalf of the Lender or any other Credit Party.

 

(b)          The
Obligations of each Loan Party shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other
than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Obligations after the termination of the Commitment hereunder), including
any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise of any of the Obligations, and shall not be subject to any defense
or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any
of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of each Loan Party hereunder
shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of the Lender or any other Credit Party to assert any
claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or
modification of any provision of any thereof, any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of
the Obligations, or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Loan Party
or that would otherwise operate as a discharge of any Loan Party as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment
in full in cash of all the Obligations after the termination of the Commitment hereunder).

 

(c)          To
the fullest extent permitted by Law, each Loan Party waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any other Loan
Party or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability
of any other Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the termination of the
Commitment hereunder. The Lender may, at its election, foreclose on any security held by it by one or more judicial or non-judicial
sales, accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, compromise or adjust any part of the Obligations, make
any other accommodation with any other Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to it against any other Loan
Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of any Loan Party hereunder (except if such results in Satisfaction
of the Obligations) and the Commitment hereunder has been terminated. Each Loan Party waives any defense arising out of any such
election even though such election operates, pursuant to Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation
or other right or remedy of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security.

 

(d)          Each
Loan Party is obligated to repay the Obligations as joint and several obligors under this Agreement. Upon payment by any Loan Party
of any Obligations, all rights of such Loan Party against any other Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation,
contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the
prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Obligations and the termination of the Commitment hereunder. In addition,
any indebtedness of any Loan Party now or hereafter held by any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated in right of payment to
the prior indefeasible payment in full of the Obligations and no Loan Party will demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect
any such indebtedness. If any amount shall erroneously be paid to any Loan Party on account of (i) such subrogation, contribution,
reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (ii) any such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for
the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited against the payment of the Obligations,
whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing,
to the extent that any Loan Party shall, under this Agreement as a joint and several obligor, repay any of the Obligations constituting
Loans made to another Borrower hereunder or other Obligations incurred directly and primarily by any other Borrower, then the Loan
Party making such payment shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Borrowers.

9.21       No
Strict Construction.

 

The parties hereto
have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or
interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden
of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

 

9.22       Attachments.

 

The exhibits, schedules
and annexes attached to this Agreement are incorporated herein and shall be considered a part of this Agreement for the purposes
stated herein, except that in the event of any conflict between any of the provisions of such exhibits and the provisions of this
Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.

 

9.23       Reserved.

 

9.24       Relationship
with DIP Orders.

 

In the event of any
inconsistency between the terms of the DIP Orders and the Loan Documents, the terms of the DIP Orders shall control and the representations,
warranties, covenants, agreements or events of default made herein and in the other Loan Documents shall be subject to any express,
contrary terms of the DIP Orders.

 

ARTICLE X

GUARANTEE

 

10.01     The
Facility Guaranty.

 

Each Guarantor irrevocably
and unconditionally guaranties, jointly with the other Guarantors and severally, as a primary obligor and not merely as a surety,
the due and punctual payment when due (whether at the stated maturity, by required prepayment, by acceleration or otherwise) and
performance by the Borrowers of all Obligations (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”), including all
such Guaranteed Obligations which shall become due but for the operation of any Debtor Relief Law. Each Guarantor further agrees
that the Guaranteed Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice to or further assent from it, and
that it will remain bound upon this Facility Guaranty notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Guaranteed Obligation.

 

    	68

    	 

    

 

10.02     Guaranteed
Obligations Not Affected.

 

To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor waives presentment to, demand of payment from, and protest to, any Loan Party of any
of the Guaranteed Obligations, and also waives notice of acceptance of this Facility Guaranty, notice of protest for nonpayment
and all other notices of any kind. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, the obligations of each Guarantor hereunder
shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce or exercise any right
or remedy against any Loan Party under the provisions of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or otherwise or against any other
party with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, (b) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of, or any
release from, any of the terms or provisions of this Facility Guaranty, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, with respect
to any Loan Party or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations, (c) the failure to perfect any security interest in, or the
release of, any of the Collateral held by or on behalf of any Credit Party, or (d) the lack of legal existence of any Loan Party
or legal obligation to discharge any of the Guaranteed Obligations by any Loan Party for any reason whatsoever, including, without
limitation, in connection with any Debtor Relief Laws.

 

10.03     Security.

 

Each Guarantor hereby
acknowledges and agrees that each of Credit Parties may (a) take and hold security for the payment of this Facility Guaranty
and the Guaranteed Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security, (b) apply such security and direct
the order or manner of sale thereof as they in their sole discretion may determine, and (c) release or substitute any one
or more endorsees, the Borrowers, other Loan Parties or other obligors, in each case without affecting or impairing in any way
the liability of any Guarantor hereunder.

 

10.04     Guarantee
of Payment.

 

Each Guarantor further
agrees that this Facility Guaranty constitutes a guarantee of payment and performance when due of all Guaranteed Obligations and
not of collection and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, waives any right to require that any resort be had by
any Credit Party to any of the Collateral or other security held for payment of the Guaranteed Obligations or to any balance of
any deposit account or credit on the books of any Credit Party in favor of any Loan Party or any other Person or to any other guarantor
of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations. Any payment required to be made by any Guarantor hereunder may be required by any
Credit Party on any number of occasions and shall be payable to the Lender, for the benefit of any Credit Party, in the manner
provided in this Agreement.

 

10.05     No
Discharge or Diminishment of Guarantee.

 

The obligations of
each Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than
the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration
or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, 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.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder shall not be discharged
or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any Credit Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under
this Facility Guaranty, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any provision
of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
or by any other act or omission that may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of any Guarantor or that would otherwise
operate as a discharge of any Guarantor as a matter of law or equity (other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the
Guaranteed Obligations).

 

    	69

    	 

    

 

10.06     Defenses
of Loan Parties Waived.

 

To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law, each Guarantor waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of any Loan Party 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 Loan Party, other than the indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby acknowledges
that the Credit 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 any Loan Party, or exercise any other right or remedy available to them against
any Loan Party, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of each such Guarantor hereunder (except if such results
in Satisfaction of the Obligations). Pursuant to, and to the extent permitted by, applicable Law, each Guarantor waives any defense
arising out of any such election and waives any benefit of and right to participate in any such foreclosure action, even though
such election operates, pursuant to applicable Law, to impair or to extinguish any right of reimbursement, indemnity, contribution
or subrogation or other right or remedy of such Guarantor against any Loan Party, as the case may be, or any security. Each Guarantor
agrees that it shall not assert any claim in competition with any Credit Party in respect of any payment made hereunder in connection
with any proceedings under any Debtor Relief Laws.

 

10.07     Agreement
to Pay; Subordination.

 

In furtherance of the
foregoing and not in limitation of any other right that any Credit Party has at law or in equity against any Guarantor by virtue
hereof, upon the failure of any Loan Party 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 Guarantor hereby promises to and will forthwith pay, or cause to
be paid, to any Credit Party as designated thereby in cash the amount of such unpaid Guaranteed Obligations. Upon payment by any
Guarantor of any sums to any Agent or any other Credit Party as provided above, all rights of such Guarantor against any other
Loan Party arising as a result thereof by way of right of subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or otherwise shall
in all respects be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full in cash of all the Guaranteed
Obligations. In addition, any indebtedness of any Borrower or any other Loan Party now or hereafter held by any Guarantor is hereby
subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Borrower or any other Loan Party may make payments to any Guarantor on account
of any such indebtedness. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, no Guarantor will demand, sue
for, or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness until Satisfaction of the Obligations. If any amount shall erroneously
be paid to any Guarantor on account of (a) such subrogation, contribution, reimbursement, indemnity or similar right or (b) any
such indebtedness of any Loan Party, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Credit Parties and shall forthwith
be paid to the Credit Party to be credited against the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

10.08     Limitation
on Guarantee of Guaranteed Obligations.

 

In any action or proceeding
with respect to any Guarantor involving any state corporate law, the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any other Debtor Relief
Law, if the obligations of such Guarantor under Section 10.01 hereof would otherwise be held or determined to be void, invalid
or unenforceable, or subordinated to the claims of any other creditors, on account of the amount of its liability under said Section
10.01, then, notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further
action by such Guarantor, any Credit Party, or any other Person, be automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount which
is valid and enforceable and not subordinated to the claims of other creditors as determined in such action or proceeding.

2.          The
Plan and Certain Related Matters. The Plan and all related documents, including, without limitation, the Disclosure Statement,
and the motion and order relating to approval of this Agreement, must be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor
and the Company and not inconsistent with the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Plan shall provide for the
following, among other things:

 

(a)          Effective
Date. The effective date of the Plan (the "Effective Date") shall occur as soon as practicable but in no event
later than May 15, 2015.

 

(b)          Conditions
Precedent to the Effective Date. The Plan shall include the following conditions precedent (each a "Condition Precedent")
which must be satisfied or waived prior to the occurrence of the Effective Date.

 

(i)          The
Plan and any and all Plan Supplements, including any amendments or modifications thereto, shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Sponsor and the Company.

 

(ii)         The
Confirmation Order shall have been entered, shall not be subject to any stay on enforcement and be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Sponsor and the Company. The Confirmation Order shall provide that, among other things, the Company or the

without limitation, entering into, implementing, and consummating the contracts, instruments, releases, leases, indentures, and
other agreements or documents created in connection with or described in the Plan.

 

(iii)        All
documents and agreements necessary to implement the Plan, including, without limitation, the Exit Facility (as defined below) shall
have (A) been tendered for delivery, and (B) been effected or executed. All conditions precedent to all such documents and agreements
shall have been satisfied or waived pursuant to the terms and conditions of such documents or agreements, as applicable.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

(iv)        All
actions, documents, certificates, and agreements necessary to implement this Plan shall have been effected or executed and delivered
to the required parties and, to the extent required, filed with the applicable governmental units in accordance with applicable
laws or regulations.

 

(v)         As
of the Effective Date, there shall be no existing or continuing events of default under the DIP Financing that has not been waived
in writing.

 

(c)          Transactions
Structure. The transactions contemplated by the Plan shall be structured in an efficient manner (including, without limitation,
from a tax perspective and given the intent that the Company, as reorganized pursuant to the Plan (the "Reorganized Company"),
not be a "public" company as of the Effective Date) and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor, in consultation
with the Company.

 

(d)          Treatment
of Claims. Allowed claims shall be treated in a manner that satisfies the requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code,
including, without limitation, as follows:

 

(i)          Secured
Claims. Except to the extent that a particular claimant agrees to a less favorable treatment approved by the Sponsor, secured
claims allowed under section 506(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be unimpaired and reinstated upon the Effective Date under the
Plan consistent with the requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(ii)         Priority
Claims. Except to the extent that a particular claimant agrees to a less favorable treatment approved by the Sponsor, allowed
claims that are entitled to priority under section 507(a) of the Bankruptcy Code will be paid in full in cash or treated as otherwise
provided for under the Bankruptcy Code.

 

(iii)        Non-Priority
Unsecured Claims. Except to the extent that a particular claimant agrees to a less favorable treatment approved by the Sponsor,
holders of non-priority unsecured claims allowed under section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code (the "Unsecured Claims"),
including, without limitation, obligations arising under or in connection with that certain convertible senior note issued on March
26, 2014, will receive their pro rata shares of the Non-Sponsor Stock (as defined below) in satisfaction of such Unsecured Claims,
unless a claimant participates in the Convenience Class (as defined below).

 

(1)         The
Plan shall provide for treatment of a class of Unsecured Claims that, for administrative convenience, will receive treatment different
from the Unsecured Claims in the Unsecured Claims class (such class receiving different treatment, the "Convenience Class"). 
The Convenience Class will comprise all Unsecured Claims of a single holder  of a type that would otherwise be included in
the Unsecured Claims Class that are either (i) a maximum dollar amount or less in the aggregate or (ii) greater than such maximum
dollar amount in the aggregate but as to which such holder has made an election (the "Convenience Class Election")
on the ballot for voting on the Plan to have such claim treated as a claim in the Convenience Class (all such claims, the "Convenience
Claims").  The parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the maximum dollar amount to be set forth in the Plan,
which shall take into account the working capital needs of the Reorganized Company as of the Effective Date.

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

(iv)        Administrative
Expenses. Unless otherwise agreed by the holder thereof, the Plan will provide for the payment in full of all administrative
expenses allowed under section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code consistent with section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Sponsor's
reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Bankruptcy Case, including, without limitation, its legal fees, are
actual and necessary costs and expenses of preserving the estates under section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code and must therefore be
allowed and paid as administrative expenses in the Bankruptcy Case. Following entry of the PSA Order, the Sponsor or the Sponsor's
legal advisor shall periodically invoice (with reasonable detail concerning hours, rates and description of work performed, subject
to redaction to preserve attorney-client privilege) the Company for legal fees due and owing, and the Company shall tender payment
of such amounts due and owing within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such invoice. To the extent that any amounts remain due and
owing pursuant to the Term Sheet, such amounts shall also be allowed and paid as administrative expenses in the Bankruptcy Case
following entry of the PSA Order. Any remaining funds previously deposited pursuant to the Term Sheet shall be applied against
the amounts incurred pursuant to this Agreement.

 

(e)          Cancellation
of Equity Securities. On the Effective Date, all previously issued and outstanding equity securities of the Company (and all
rights to convert, exchange, exercise for, or otherwise receive equity securities of the Company) shall be deemed void, cancelled,
and of no further force and effect.

 

(f)          Executory
Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The Sponsor, in consultation with the Company, shall determine the treatment of Contracts and
Leases pursuant to the terms hereof and in a manner consistent with the Bankruptcy Code. All Contracts and Leases which are not
Designated Contracts as of the Effective Date shall be deemed rejected as of such date. At any time before the effective date of
assumption of a Designation Contract, the Sponsor may, in its sole discretion, withdraw or modify its designation of a Designation
Contract for assumption by providing notice via email to the Company and its counsel.

 

(i)          The
Company shall promptly inform the Sponsor of any formal or informal Assumption Objection. In the event that the Company, the Sponsor,
and such objecting counterparty cannot resolve an Assumption Objection prior to the Confirmation Hearing, the Assumption Objection
will be heard during the Confirmation Hearing, or at such later date as the Parties and the objecting counterparty may fix and
agree and the Bankruptcy Court approves.

 

    	7

    	 

    

 

(ii)         In
the event that any outstanding Assumption Objection remains unresolved following the Confirmation Hearing, the Sponsor reserves
the right to direct the Company to reject the Designated Contract which is the subject of such Assumption Objection at any time
prior to entry of an order by the Bankruptcy Court authorizing the assumption of such Designated Contract. The Plan shall provide
that rejection of the Designated Contract shall be effective upon the tenth (10th) day following delivery of a rejection notice
to the contract counterparty.

 

(g)          Claims
Resolution. Resolutions of claims will be subject to the terms and procedures set forth in the Plan, which, among other things,
will (i) require that the Reorganized Company file any and all objections to claims during the ninety (90)-day period following
the Effective Date (unless such period is extended by the Bankruptcy Court) and (ii) provide that any settlements of claims approved
by the Bankruptcy Court prior to the Effective Date will be binding on all parties.

 

(h)          Avoidance
Actions. The Plan shall provide that the Reorganized Company shall waive any avoidance actions that the Company or the estates
may have against holders of Unsecured Claims that agree in writing to continue to participate in and extend trade credit in connection
with the go-forward operations of the Reorganized Company. All other avoidance actions will be reserved and prosecuted by the Reorganized
Company in its reasonable discretion.

 

(i)          Corporate
Governance. The Plan shall designate the number of members of the board of directors of the Reorganized Company (the "New
Board"), as such number is determined by the Sponsor. At a minimum, the New Board shall consist of five (5) members, including
the Chief Executive Officer of the Reorganized Company, one (1) member to be nominated by the official committee of unsecured creditors
appointed by the United States Trustee in the Bankruptcy Case (the "Committee") subject to the consent of the
Sponsor (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed)), and three (3) additional members to be selected
by the Sponsor; provided that if the Committee fails to nominate a member to the New Board, the Sponsor shall be permitted to appoint
an additional member to the New Board in lieu of the Committee's nominee. The members of the New Board will be identified in the
Plan Supplement, accompanied by any disclosures required by Bankruptcy Code section 1129(a)(5) in connection therewith. Under the
Plan, the Reorganized Company will implement a new charter, bylaws, and stockholders agreement, all of which must be acceptable
to the Sponsor in its reasonable discretion, and all of which will be filed in the Plan Supplement.

 

(j)          Management
Options. On or after the Effective Date, the New Board will support the implementation of a stock-based management incentive
plan which will provide for distributions not exceeding 10%, in the aggregate, on a fully-diluted basis.

 

    	8

    	 

    

 

(k)          Exit
Facility. The Reorganized Company shall obtain access to a revolving credit facility (the "Exit Facility")
to fund its operations on and after the Effective Date. The Sponsor shall be responsible for procuring the Exit Facility, the Company
shall reasonably cooperate with the Sponsor's efforts to procure the Exit Facility and the Exit Facility shall be in an amount
and on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Sponsor.

 

3.          Equity
in Reorganized Company. On the Effective Date, equity in the Reorganized Company will be distributed as follows:

 

(a)          The
Sponsor will purchase 80% of newly issued common stock in the Reorganized Company in consideration of $20 million in the form of
(x) conversion of the principal amount of the DIP Financing into equity and (y) cash; and

 

(b)          in
full satisfaction of the Unsecured Claims that are not otherwise settled or resolved under the terms of the Plan, holders of such
Unsecured Claims will receive collectively 20% of newly issued common stock in the Reorganized Company (the "Non-Sponsor
Stock").

 

4.          Exclusivity.

 

(a)          As
used in this Agreement, "Alternative Transaction Proposal" means, other than the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, any offer, proposal, or inquiry relating to, or any third-party indication of interest in, any of the following:

 

(i)          any
purchase, sale, or other disposition of all or a material portion of the Company's business or assets, except for the sale of assets
in the ordinary course of business;

 

(ii)         any
issuance, sale, or other disposition of any equity interest (including, without limitation, securities or instruments directly
or indirectly convertible or exchangeable into equity) in the Company (by the Company) or any subsidiary of the Company primarily
engaged in the Company's business (a "Business Subsidiary") (other than the issuance of stock options or similar
instruments to existing directors, officers, or employees in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or otherwise
pursuant to existing contractual obligations);

 

(iii)        any
merger, acquisition, consolidation, or similar business combination transaction involving the Company or a Business Subsidiary;
or

 

(iv)        any
other transaction the purpose or effect of which would be reasonably expected to, or which would, prevent or render impractical,
or otherwise frustrate or impede in any material respect, any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

(b)          As
used in this Agreement, "Superior Proposal" means a bona fide written Alternative Transaction Proposal that the
Company concludes in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, taking into account
all legal, financial, regulatory, and other aspects of the proposal and the person or entity making the proposal (including any
break-up fees, expense-reimbursement provisions, and conditions to consummation), (i) is more favorable, from a financial
point of view, to the Company's stakeholders than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) is reasonably likely
to be consummated on a timely basis on the terms proposed (taking into account financing, among other things).

 

(c)          Except
as expressly permitted by this Agreement, from and after the Execution Date, the Company agrees that it will not, and will cause
each entity comprising the Company, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its controlled affiliates, directors,
officers, employees, advisors, and any other persons acting under the direction of any of them, and the representatives of any
of the foregoing (collectively, all such entities and persons, the "Company Representatives") not to, initiate
or solicit inquiries or proposals with respect to, or engage or participate in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential
or nonpublic information or data to, or have or participate in any discussions with, any person or entity relating to, or approve
or recommend, or propose to approve or recommend, or execute or enter into, any letter of intent, agreement in principle, or other
agreement related to, any Alternative Transaction (an "Alternative Transaction Agreement"). This section 4(c) shall
not prohibit the Company from furnishing nonpublic information regarding the Company and its subsidiaries to, or entering into
discussions and negotiations with, any person or entity in response to an Alternative Transaction Proposal that is, or could reasonably
be expected to result in, a Superior Proposal that is submitted to the Company by such person or entity (and not withdrawn prior
to the furnishing of such information or such discussions) if (i) neither the Company nor any Company Representative shall have
violated any of the restrictions set forth in this section 4, (ii) the Company receives from such person or entity an executed
confidentiality agreement containing customary limitations on the use and disclosure of all nonpublic written and oral information
furnished to such person or entity by or on behalf of the Company, and (iii) within one (1) business days after furnishing any
such nonpublic information to such person or entity, the Company furnishes such nonpublic information to the Sponsor (to the extent
such nonpublic information has not been previously furnished by the Company to the Sponsor) and gives the Sponsor written notice
of the identity of such person or entity and of the Company's intention to enter into discussions with such person or entity. The
Company shall keep the Sponsor reasonably informed with respect to the status of any such Alternative Transaction Proposal, inquiry,
indication of interest, or request and any modification or proposed modification thereto. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that any violation of or the taking of any action inconsistent with any of the restrictions
set forth in the preceding sentence by any Company Representative, whether or not such Company Representative is purporting to
act on behalf of the Company shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this section 4 by the Company.

 

    	10

    	 

    

 

(d)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Company may terminate this Agreement in order to enter into a definitive Alternative Transaction
Agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal that did not result from a breach of this section 4, subject to compliance with the
following notice requirements and payment of the Break-Up Fee (defined below) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, if
(i) the Company has received an Alternative Transaction Proposal that, in the good-faith determination of the board of directors
of the Company, constitutes a Superior Proposal, after having complied with the following notice requirements, and (ii) the board
of directors of the Company determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such
action would be inconsistent with the fiduciary obligations of the board of directors under applicable law (such entitlement to
terminate the Agreement, the "Superior Proposal Company Termination Right"). The Company shall not be entitled
to exercise the Superior Proposal Company Termination Right unless:

 

(i)          the
Company promptly notifies the Sponsor, in writing, at least three (3) Business Days (the "Notice Period") before
entering into an Alternative Transaction Agreement, of its intention to take such action with respect to a Superior Proposal, which
notice shall state expressly that the Company has received an Alternative Transaction Proposal that the Company intends to declare
a Superior Proposal and/or that the Company intends to enter into an Alternative Transaction Agreement;

 

(ii)         the
Company attaches to such notice the most current version of the proposed Alternative Transaction Agreement (which version shall
be updated on a prompt basis) and the identity of the third party making such Superior Proposal;

 

(iii)        the
Company shall, and shall cause the Company Representatives to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with the Sponsor in good faith
to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement so that such Alternative Transaction Proposal ceases to
constitute a Superior Proposal, if the Sponsor, in its discretion, proposes to make such adjustments (it being agreed that in the
event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there is any material revision to the terms of a Superior Proposal, including,
any revision in price, the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least two (2) business days remain
in the Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies the Sponsor of any such material revision (it being understood
that there may be multiple extensions)); and

 

(iv)        the
Company determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that such Alternative
Transaction Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal after taking into account any adjustments made by the Sponsor
during the Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

    	11

    	 

    

 

(e)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Company’s board of directors may terminate this Agreement following
the occurrence of an event, fact, development or occurrence after the date hereof that did not result from a breach of this section
4 (an “Intervening Event”) if, subject to compliance with the following notice requirements and payment of the
Break-Up Fee (defined below) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the board of directors of the Company determines in
good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the
fiduciary obligations of the board of directors under applicable law because the Intervening Event makes it unlikely that either
(x) the Company will maximize value for stakeholders by consummating the Plan or (y) the Company can consummate the Plan within
a reasonable period of time (such entitlement to terminate the Agreement, the "Intervening Event Company Termination Right").
The Company shall not be entitled to exercise the Intervening Event Company Termination Right unless:

 

(i)          the
Company promptly notifies the Sponsor, in writing, at least five (5) Business Days before terminating this Agreement, of its intention
to take such action with respect to an Intervening Event, which notice shall state expressly the Intervening Event as well as provide
written notice and supporting documentation articulating the impact of the Intervening Event;

 

(ii)         the
Company shall, and shall cause the Company Representatives to, during the Notice Period, negotiate with the Sponsor in good faith
(including, without limitation, promptly responding to the Sponsor's reasonable requests for financial and other information regarding
the Intervening Event and the impact of the Intervening Event) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement
so that the failure of the board of directors of the Company to terminate this Agreement in light of such Intervening Event would
not be inconsistent with the fiduciary obligations of the board of directors under applicable law, if the Sponsor, in its discretion,
proposes to make such adjustments (it being agreed that in the event that, after commencement of the Notice Period, there is any
material revision to the Intervening Event, the Notice Period shall be extended, if applicable, to ensure that at least three (3)
business days remain in the Notice Period subsequent to the time the Company notifies the Sponsor of any such material revision
(it being understood that there may be multiple extensions)); and

 

(iii)        the
Company determines in good faith, after consulting with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor, that the failure of the
board of directors of the Company to terminate this Agreement in light of such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with the
fiduciary obligations of the board of directors under applicable law because the Intervening Event makes it unlikely that either
(x) the Company will maximize value for stakeholders by consummating the Plan or (y) the Company can consummate the Plan within
a reasonable period of time (such entitlement to terminate the Agreement, after taking into account any adjustments made by the
Sponsor during the Notice Period in the terms and conditions of this Agreement).

 

(f)          For
the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this section 4 shall not prohibit, limit, or otherwise
restrict the Company from participating in discussions with, or providing any information to, any official committee appointed
in the Bankruptcy Case so long as the Company does not otherwise violate the prohibitions contained in this section 4.

5.          Break-up
Fee. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Sponsor would not have undertaken the obligations set forth in this Agreement
without the Company's commitment to pay the Break-Up Fee (as defined below) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
In the event that the Company chooses to terminate this Agreement as set forth in section 11(b)(i) below, provided that the Sponsor
is not in material breach of this Agreement, the Company shall pay to the Sponsor a break-up fee in the amount of one million
dollars ($1,000,000) plus the Sponsor's reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including, without limitation, legal fees,
and after application of any retainer previously funded by the Company) (such fees and expenses, collectively, the "Break-Up
Fee"), and such Break-Up Fee shall be deemed earned immediately for all purposes. The Break-Up Fee shall be paid (i)
via wire transfer of immediately available funds upon the closing of a Superior Proposal in the event of an exercise of the Superior
Proposal Company Termination Right or (ii) upon payment of other allowed administrative expenses of the Company under section
503 of the Bankruptcy Code in the event such Superior Proposal does not close or upon an exercise of the Intervening Event Company
Termination Right. The Company expressly acknowledges that the Break-Up Fee is an actual and necessary cost and expense of preserving
the estates under section 503 of the Bankruptcy Code and must therefore be allowed and paid as an administrative expense in the
Bankruptcy Case, and the PSA Order shall so provide. 

 

6.          Exculpation.
The Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and the Confirmation Order shall provide, to the maximum extent permitted by law, that each
of the Parties, each Party's affiliates and subsidiaries, the members of each Party's respective boards of directors, and each
Party's directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, advisors and other representatives, including each Party's legal
counsel, accountants and financial advisors, shall neither have nor incur any liability to any entity (as defined in section 101(15)
of the Bankruptcy Code) for any prepetition or postpetition act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with, or related to,
formulating, negotiating, preparing, disseminating, implementing, administering, confirming, or effecting the consummation of
the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created or entered into
in connection with the Plan or any other prepetition or postpetition act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with or in
contemplation of the Restructuring.

 

7.          Releases.
The Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and the Confirmation Order shall provide, to the maximum extent permitted by law, that the
Company, the Company's estates (within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code), all holders of claims against the Company, all holders
of interests in the Company, and all parties in interest with respect to the Company (collectively, the "Releasing Parties"),
shall be deemed to have released the Sponsor and its representatives as well as the directors and officers of the Company serving
in such capacity as of the date on which the Bankruptcy Case is commenced by filing a petition with the Bankruptcy Court (such
directors and officers, the "Released Parties") from any and all claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages,
rights, causes of action and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, existing or hereafter arising,
at law, in equity or otherwise, relating to or based upon any act or omission relating to the Company which occurred prior to the
effectiveness of the Restructuring, and furthermore that the performance of the terms of the Plan in facilitating the Restructuring
shall be a full and complete settlement of any claims or causes of action, whether known or unknown, that the Releasing Parties
have or could have against the Released Parties relating to the Releasing Parties.

statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not materially

    	14

    	 

    

 

(f)          to
the Company's Knowledge, the Company and the Company's business are in compliance, in all material respects, with all applicable
laws, and no pending written claim has been filed against any of the Company Parties alleging a material violation of any United
States federal, state, local or foreign statute, law, ordinance, regulation, rule, code, order, other requirement, or rule of law
(collectively, "Laws"), in each case except any non-compliance or violation that would not have a material adverse
impact on the Company's ability to operate its business;

 

(g)          
as of the date of this Agreement, the Company has not received any written notice that the Company and the Company's business are

10.         Additional
Conditions. In addition to the other conditions to the Parties' obligations set forth in this Agreement, each obligation and

of the other Party set forth in this Agreement in all material respects and the other Party's performance in all material respects
of its agreements and covenants in this Agreement, (b) this Agreement not having been terminated pursuant to its terms, and (c)
the Plan being (i) consistent in all material respects with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (ii) otherwise reasonably

(B) convert the Bankruptcy Case of any Company Party to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (C) dismiss any Bankruptcy

has been a material breach of, material inaccuracy in, or material failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant, or

(x)          Any
event or condition in respect of the operation of the Company has occurred that results, or would reasonably be expected to result,
individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect on (A) the business, financial condition and operations of the Company,
taken as a whole, or on (B) the ability of the Company to consummate the transaction contemplated herein and in the Plan; provided,

however, that such events or conditions referred to in clauses (2), (3), (4) and (5) above do
not materially and disproportionately affect the Company, taken as a whole, as compared to other businesses in the industries in
which the Company operates.

 

    	16

(xii)        Edmond
S. Thomas, or a replacement acceptable to the Sponsor in its sole and absolute discretion, ceases to be the chief executive officer
of the Company.

 

(b)          The
Company may, but shall not be required to, terminate this Agreement immediately if any of the following occurs, by providing written
notice of such termination to the Sponsor.

 

(i)          Subject
to the notice and other provisions of section 4(d) or section 4(e) of this Agreement, as applicable, the Company may terminate
this Agreement (A) in connection with the Superior Proposal Company Termination Right, if the Company determines to enter into
an Alternative Transaction Agreement in respect of a Superior Proposal; provided that in the event of such termination, the Company
substantially concurrently enters into such Alternative Transaction Agreement, or (B) in connection with the Intervening Event
Company Termination Right. If the Company exercises the Superior Proposal Company Termination Right or the Intervening Event Company
Termination Right, the Company shall pay the Break-up Fee to the Sponsor in accordance with section 5.

 

(1)         The
Parties acknowledge and agree that the Break-up Fee (i) is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
and that, without the Break-up Fee, the Sponsor would not have entered into this Agreement and (ii) is not a penalty, but
is liquidated damages, in a reasonable amount that will compensate the Sponsor in the circumstances in which such fee is payable
for the efforts and resources expended and opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement
and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, which amount would otherwise be
impossible to calculate with precision. The payment of the Break-Up Fee in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall constitute
the sole and exclusive remedy of the Sponsor for any breach of this Agreement by the Company.

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

(2)         If
the Company fails to pay the Break-up Fee in a timely manner, and, in order to obtain such payment, the Sponsor makes a claim against
the Company that results in a judgment against the Company, the Company Party shall pay to the Sponsor the reasonable costs and
expenses (including its reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred or accrued by the Sponsor in connection with such suit,
together with interest on the amounts set forth in this section at the prime lending rate prevailing during such period as published
in The Wall Street Journal. Any interest payable hereunder shall be calculated on a daily basis from the date such amounts
were required to be paid until (but excluding) the date of actual payment, and on the basis of a 360-day year.

 

(ii)         There
has been a material breach of, material inaccuracy in, or material failure to perform any representation, warranty, covenant, or
agreement made by the Sponsor in this Agreement that has not been cured by the Sponsor within ten (10) business days following
receipt of notice from the Company.

 

(iii)        If
any court of competent jurisdiction or other competent governmental or regulatory authority shall (i) have issued an order making
illegal or otherwise restricting, preventing or prohibiting the Plan in a manner that cannot reasonably be remedied or (ii) have
entered a final, non-appealable judgment or order declaring this Agreement or any material provision of this Agreement or any related
document to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable.

 

(iv)        If
the funding under the DIP Financing is terminated by the Sponsor.

 

(c)          Subject
to section 13(b), this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon occurrence of the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt,
the DIP Financing shall survive any termination of this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically provided therein.

 

12.         Notices.
All demands, notices, requests, consents, and communications (each a "Notice") under this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally or by courier service, messenger, Federal Express or

13.         Remedies;
Limitation on Liability.

 

(a)          Subject
to section 11(b)(i), the Parties acknowledge and agree that any breach of the terms of this Agreement would give rise to irreparable
harm to the other Party for which money damages would not be an adequate remedy and, accordingly, agrees that each non-breaching
Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief without the necessity of proving the inadequacy
of money damages as a remedy or posting a bond or other security in connection with such remedy.

 

    	19

    	 

    

 

(b)          Notwithstanding
anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, each Party hereto covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse
under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any Party's
affiliates, or any of such Party's affiliates or respective former, current or future direct or indirect equity holders, controlling
persons, stockholders, directors, officers, employees, agents, members, managers, general or limited partners or assignees (each
a "Related Party" and collectively, the "Related Parties") in each case other than the Parties
and each of their respective successors and permitted assignees under this Agreement, whether by the enforcement of any assessment
or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no
personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of the Related Parties, as such, for
any obligation or liability of any Party under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith
for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; provided, however,
nothing in this section 13(b) shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party hereto or any of their respective successors
or permitted assigns, for any breach or violation of its obligations under such contracts. For the avoidance of doubt, none of
the Parties will have any recourse, be entitled to commence any proceeding or make any claim under this Agreement or in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereby except against any of the Parties, as applicable. The limitation on liability provision
in this Section 13(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

14.         Entire
Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter
of this Agreement and supersedes all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, including the Term Sheet; provided, however, without duplication, any expense
reimbursement due to the Sponsor from the Company pursuant to the Term Sheet shall be allowed and paid as an administrative expense
pursuant to section 2(d)(iv) hereof. This Agreement may not be amended, altered, or modified in any manner whatsoever, except by
a written instrument executed by each of the Parties hereto.

 

15.         Waiver.
The Parties hereto may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties hereto,
(b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto,
and (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a Party hereto
to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in a written instrument executed by the Parties.

 

16.         Public
Announcements. Unless such disclosure is otherwise required by applicable Law or by obligations of the Company or the Sponsor
or their respective affiliates pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any securities exchange, the Company and the
Sponsor shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statement with respect to
this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or the activities and operations of the other and shall not issue any such
release or make any such statement without the prior written consent of the other.

 

    	20

    	 

    

 

17.         Authority
to Sign.  Each of the Parties represents and warrants that the person who executes this Agreement on behalf of such
Party has been duly authorized on behalf of such Party to execute this Agreement on behalf of such Party and, in the case of an
entity, that such authority has been validly obtained in accordance with the articles of incorporation and bylaws (or other organizational
documents) of such Party, and the laws of the state of its organization for such Party.

 

18.         No
Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall be solely for the benefit of the Parties and no other person or entity shall
be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement except as set forth in section 13(b).

 

19.         Governing
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (without giving
effect to the provisions of such laws relating to conflicts of law).

 

20.         Jurisdiction.
The Company and the Sponsor each hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Delaware
state court or federal court of the United States of America sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, or the Bankruptcy Court (following
commencement of the Bankruptcy Case), and any appellate court from any of the foregoing, but solely in any action or proceedings
to enforce this Agreement. Each of the Parties agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive
and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.

 

21.         Savings
Clause. Any provision or part of this Agreement that is determined to be invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction
shall, as to such situation and such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such invalidity and shall not affect the
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of any such provision in any other
situation or in any other jurisdiction. In lieu of any such provision, there shall be added a provision as similar in terms to
such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision(s) as may be possible and mutually agreed upon by the Parties and still be legal,
valid, and enforceable under applicable laws.

 

22.         Headings.
Section headings in this Agreement are used for convenience only and shall not be considered for any purpose in construing this
Agreement.

 

23.         Neutral
Construction.  Each Party has cooperated, including by and through its counsel, in the drafting and preparation of
this Agreement. Hence, this Agreement will be construed neutrally, and will not be applied more strictly against one Party than
against another.

 

24.         Execution
in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and
all of which together shall constitute one document.

 

25.         Electronic
Transmittal. Signatures transmitted electronically (e.g., by facsimile or in .pdf format as an attachment to an e-mail) shall
have the full force and effect of original signatures.

 

26.         Assignment.
Each Party hereby agrees, for so long as this Agreement shall remain in effect, not to assign it rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that B. Riley Financial, Inc. may assign its
rights and obligations under this Agreement to its affiliates or designees selected in its sole discretion; provided further that
no such assignment shall relieve B. Riley Financial, Inc. from its obligations under this Agreement.

 

    	21

    	 

    

 

27.         Acknowledgement.
This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are the product of negotiations among the Parties, together with their
respective representatives. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement is not, and shall not be deemed to
be, (i) a solicitation of votes for the acceptance of the Plan or any Chapter 11 plan for the purposes of sections 1125 and 1126
of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise or (ii) an offer for the purchase, sale, exchange, hypothecation, or other transfer of securities
for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Company will not solicit acceptances of the Plan from any person until such person has been provided with a Disclosure Statement
approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
