      (including the Conflicts Committee) believes in good faith, after consulting with counsel, that the taking or failing to take such action would be inconsistent with applicable Law or with its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law, and any such
      action or inaction pursuant to this Section 8.01 shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement; provided, that each Consenting Stakeholder reserves its rights to challenge any exercise by any Company Party of its respective fiduciary

    9.01.      During the Agreement Effective Period, no Consenting Stakeholder shall Transfer any ownership (including any beneficial ownership as defined in the
      Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) in any Company Claims/Interests to any affiliated or unaffiliated party, including any party in which it may hold a direct or indirect beneficial interest, unless:

    (a)          either (i) the transferee executes and delivers to counsel to the Company Parties, at or before the time of the proposed Transfer, a Transfer
      Agreement or (ii) the transferee is a Consenting Stakeholder (including through a broker-dealer intermediary) or an affiliate thereof and the transferee provides notice of such Transfer (including the amount and type of Company Claim/Interest
      Transferred) to counsel to the Company Parties by the close of business on the second Business Day following such Transfer, in which case, such Company Claims/Interests shall automatically be deemed to be subject to the terms of this Agreement and
      any vote in favor of the Plan by such Consenting Stakeholder shall be binding upon the transferee; and

    (b)         such Transfer shall not in the reasonable business judgment of the Company Parties and their legal and tax advisors, adversely affect the Company
      Parties’ ability to obtain any regulatory consents or approval necessary to effectuate the Restructuring Transactions.

    9.02.      Upon compliance with the requirements of Section 9.01, the transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its
      obligations) under this Agreement to the extent of the rights and obligations in respect of such transferred Company Claims/Interests.  With respect to the Company Claims/Interests held by a transferee upon consummation of the Transfer of such
      Company Claims/Interests, such transferee hereby makes the applicable representations 

    
      16

      
        

    

    and warranties set forth in Section 10 and Section 11. Any Transfer in violation of Section 9.01 shall be void ab initio.

    9.03.      This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude the Consenting Stakeholders from acquiring additional Company Claims/Interests.
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) such additional Company Claims/Interests shall automatically and immediately upon acquisition by a Consenting Stakeholder be deemed subject to the terms of this Agreement (regardless of when or whether notice of
      such acquisition is given to counsel to the Company Parties or counsel to the Consenting Stakeholders) and (b) such Consenting Stakeholder must provide notice of such acquisition (including the amount and type of Company Claim/Interest acquired) to
      counsel to the Company Parties within three (3) Business Days of such acquisition; provided, that any failure of such Consenting Stakeholder to provide notice of such acquisition shall not be deemed a material breach of such Consenting
      Stakeholder’s obligations hereunder.

    9.04.       Notwithstanding Section 9.01, a Qualified Marketmaker that acquires any Company Claims/Interests with the purpose and intent of acting as a
      Qualified Marketmaker for such Company Claims/Interests shall not be required to execute and deliver a Transfer Agreement in respect of such Company Claims/Interests; provided, however, that (a) such Qualified Marketmaker must
      Transfer such right, title, or interest by within five (5) Business Days following its receipt thereof to a transferee that is an entity that is not an affiliate, affiliated fund, or affiliated entity with a common investment advisor; and (b) any
      subsequent Transfer by such Qualified Marketmaker of the right, title, or interest in such Claims is to a transferee that is or becomes a Supporting Creditor at the time of such transfer.  To the extent that a Consenting Stakeholder is acting in its
      capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, it may Transfer (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) any right, title, or interests in Company Claims/Interests that the Qualified Marketmaker acquires from a holder of the Company
      Claims/Interests who is not a Consenting Stakeholder without the requirement that the transferee be a Permitted Transferee.

    9.05.       The Company Parties understand that the Consenting Stakeholders are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses, and, in
      furtherance of the foregoing, the Company Parties acknowledge and agree that the obligations set forth in this Agreement shall only apply to the trading desk(s) and/or business group(s) of the Consenting Stakeholder that principally manage and/or
      supervise the Consenting Stakeholder’s investment in the Company Parties, and shall not apply to any other trading desk or business group of the Consenting Stakeholder so long as they are not acting at the direction or for the benefit of such
      Consenting Stakeholder or in connection with such Consenting Stakeholder’s investment in the Company Parties.

    9.06.        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9, the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 9 shall not apply to the grant
      of any liens or encumbrances on any claims and interests in favor of a bank or broker-dealer holding custody of such claims and interests in the ordinary course of business and which lien or encumbrance is released upon the Transfer of such claims
      and interests.

    (b)         Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting a Company Party or any of the Consenting Stakeholders from contesting whether any such
      termination is in accordance with its terms or to seek enforcement of any rights under this Agreement that arose or existed before a Termination Date.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or does,
      in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict (i) any right of any Company Party or the ability of any Company Party to protect and preserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims against
      any Consenting Stakeholder, and (ii) any right of any Consenting Stakeholder, or the ability of any Consenting Stakeholder, to protect and preserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims
      against any Company Party or Consenting Stakeholder.

    (c)         Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Section 12, no Party may exercise any of its respective termination rights as set forth
      herein if such Party has failed to perform or comply in all material respects with the terms and conditions of this Agreement (unless such failure to perform or comply arises as a result of another Party’s actions or inactions), with 

    
      22

      
        

    

    such failure to perform or comply causing, or resulting in, the occurrence of the applicable Consenting Stakeholder Termination Event or Company Termination Event giving rise to
      such termination right.  Nothing in this Section 12.05 shall restrict any Company Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.05(b).

    Section 13.           Amendments and Waivers.

    (a)          This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or supplemented, and no condition or requirement of this Agreement may be waived, in any manner
      except in accordance with this Section 13.

    (b)         This Agreement may be modified, amended, or supplemented in a writing signed by the Company Parties and the Required First Lien Lenders; provided,
      however, any modification, amendment, or supplement to this Agreement that materially adversely affects the Second Lien Noteholders in their capacity as holders of Second Lien Notes Claims must be acceptable to the Required Second Lien
      Noteholders.

    (c)          Where a written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver is expressly required or contemplated by this Agreement, including a written approval by
      the Company Parties, the Required First Lien Lenders, or the Required Second Lien Noteholders, such written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver shall be deemed to have occurred if, by agreement between counsel to the Parties submitting and
      receiving such consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver, it is conveyed in writing (including electronic mail) between each such counsel without representations or warranties of any kind on behalf of such counsel.

    (d)          Any proposed modification, amendment, waiver, or supplement that does not comply with this Section 13 shall be ineffective and void ab initio.

    (e)         The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such
      breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.  No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of, any such right, power, or remedy or
      any provision of this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power, or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power, or remedy or the exercise of any other right, power, or remedy.  All
      remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.

    Section 14.           Miscellaneous.

    14.01.    Acknowledgement.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be an offer with
      respect to any securities or solicitation of votes for the acceptance of a plan of reorganization for purposes of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  Any such offer or solicitation will be made only in compliance with all
      applicable securities Laws, provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or other applicable Law.  The acceptance of the Plan by each of the Consenting Stakeholders will not be solicited until such Consenting Stakeholders have received the Solicitation
      Materials in accordance with applicable non-bankruptcy law.

    
      23

      
        

    

    14.02.     Exhibits Incorporated by Reference; Conflicts.  Each of the exhibits, annexes, signatures pages, and schedules attached to this Agreement is
      expressly incorporated and made a part of this Agreement, and all references to this Agreement shall include such exhibits, annexes, and schedules. In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement (without reference to the exhibits, annexes,
      and schedules attached to this Agreement) and the exhibits, annexes, and schedules attached to this Agreement, this Agreement (without reference to the exhibits, annexes, and schedules thereto) shall govern.

    14.03.     Further Assurances.  Subject to the other terms of this Agreement, the Parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to execute
      and deliver such other instruments and perform such acts, in addition to the matters specified in this Agreement, as may be reasonably appropriate or necessary, or as may be required by order of the Bankruptcy Court, from time to time, to effectuate
      the Restructuring Transactions, as applicable.

    14.04.    Complete Agreement.  Except as otherwise explicitly provided in this Agreement, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the
      Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior agreements, oral or written, among the Parties with respect thereto, other than any confidentiality or non-disclosure agreements between the Company Parties and a
      Consenting Stakeholder.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that they are not relying on any representations or warranties other than as set forth in this Agreement.

    14.05.     GOVERNING LAW; SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION; SELECTION OF FORUM.  This Agreement (and any claims or cause of action arising under, out of or in
      connection with this Agreement, whether in contract, tort or statute) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in such state, without giving effect to the
      conflict of laws principles thereof.  Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that, subject to the immediately following sentence of this Section 14.05, any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to any matter
      arising under, out of or in connection with this Agreement or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, may be brought before any state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in New York
      County, State of New York, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties: (a) irrevocably submits itself to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of such court, (b) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action, suit or
      proceeding and (c) waives any objection that such court is an inconvenient forum or does not have jurisdiction over such Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to jurisdiction in either a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the
      State and County of New York, upon the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, each of the Parties hereby agrees that, if the Chapter 11 Cases are pending, the Bankruptcy Court shall have exclusive jurisdiction over all matters arising out of or in
      connection with this Agreement.  Each Party agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising under, out of or in connection with this Agreement, to the extent possible, in the Bankruptcy Court, and solely in
      connection with claims arising under this Agreement:  (a) irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court; (b) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court; and (c) waives any
      objection that the Bankruptcy Court is an inconvenient forum or does not have jurisdiction over any Party.

    
      24

      
        

    

    14.06.    TRIAL BY JURY WAIVER.  Each Party irrevocably waives any right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising under, out of or in connection with
      this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether in contract, tort or statute).

    14.07.    Execution of Agreement.  This Agreement may be executed and delivered in any number of counterparts and by way of electronic signature and
      delivery, each such counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute the same agreement.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each individual executing this Agreement on
      behalf of a Party has been duly authorized and empowered to execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of said Party.

    14.08.     Rules of Construction.  This Agreement is the product of negotiations among the Company Parties and the Consenting Stakeholders, and in the
      enforcement or interpretation of this Agreement, is to be interpreted in a neutral manner, and any presumption with regard to interpretation for or against any Party by reason of that Party having drafted or caused to be drafted this Agreement, or
      any portion of this Agreement, shall not be effective in regard to the interpretation of this Agreement.  The Company Parties and the Consenting Stakeholders were each represented by counsel during the negotiations and drafting of this Agreement and
      continue to be represented by counsel.

    14.09.    Successors and Assigns; Third Parties.  This Agreement is intended to bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective
      successors and permitted assigns, as applicable.  There are no third-party beneficiaries under this Agreement, and, except as set forth in Section 9 hereof, the rights or obligations of any Party under this Agreement may not be assigned, delegated,
      or transferred to any other person or entity.

    14.11.     Independent Due Diligence and Decision Making.  Each Consenting Stakeholder confirms that its decision to execute this Agreement has been
      based upon its independent investigation of the operations, businesses, financial and other conditions, and prospects of the Company Parties.  Each Consenting Stakeholder acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying on any representations or
      warranties other than as set forth in this Agreement.

    14.12.    Enforceability of Agreement.  Each of the Parties to the extent enforceable waives any right to assert that the exercise of termination
      rights under this Agreement is subject to the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and expressly stipulates and consents hereunder to the prospective modification of the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of
      exercising termination rights under this Agreement, to the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines that such relief is required.

    14.13.     Waiver.  If the Restructuring Transactions are not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Parties fully reserve
      any and all of their rights and nothing herein shall constitute or be deemed to constitute such Party’s consent or approval of any 

    
      26

      
        

    

    chapter 11 plan of reorganization for the Debtors or any waiver of any rights such Party may have under any subordination agreement.  Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and
      any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating to this Agreement shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms or the payment of damages to which a Party may
      be entitled under this Agreement.

    14.14.     Specific Performance.  It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this
      Agreement by any Party, and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) as a remedy of any such breach, including an
      order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder.

    14.15.     Several, Not Joint, Claims.  Except where otherwise specified, the agreements, representations, warranties, and obligations of the Parties
      under this Agreement are, in all respects, several and not joint.

    14.16.    Non-Severability and Construction.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal,
      invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall no longer be enforceable.

    14.17.    Relationship Among Consenting Stakeholders.  None of the Consenting Stakeholders shall have any fiduciary duty, any duty of trust or
      confidence in any form, or other duties or responsibilities to each other, the Company Parties or their affiliates, or any of the Company Parties’ or their affiliates’ creditors or other stakeholders, including, without limitation, any holders of
      First Lien Claims, Second Lien Claims or other Company Claims/Interests, and, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, there are no commitments among or between the Consenting Stakeholders.  It is understood and agreed that any Consenting
      Stakeholder may trade in any debt or equity securities of the Company Parties without the consent of the Company Parties or any other Consenting Stakeholder, subject to applicable securities laws and this Agreement (including Section 9 of this
      Agreement).  No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences among or between any of the Consenting Stakeholders and/or the Company Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement.

    14.18.    Settlement Discussions.  This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among
      the Parties.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed an admission of any kind.  Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408, any applicable state rules of evidence and any other applicable law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement, and all
      negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than to prove the existence of this Agreement or in a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

    14.19.    Good Faith Cooperation; Further Assurances. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith and shall coordinate their activities
      (to the extent reasonably practicable) in respect of all matters concerning the implementation and consummation of the Restructuring.  Further, each of the Parties shall take such action (including executing and delivering any other 

    
      27

      
        

    

    agreements and making and filing any required regulatory filings) as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

    14.20.          Survival of Agreement.  Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 12 hereof, the provisions of Sections
      12.05 and 14 shall survive such termination and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof; provided, however, that any liability of a Party for failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement shall survive such
      termination.

                follows:

               

              

              (i)   50% of the aggregate principal amount of First Lien Exit Loans shall be funded by the Exit Backstop Parties (as defined below) as part of the Direct Debt Placement

              (ii)  the remaining 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Exit Loans (the “Syndication Amount”) shall be

                such holders’ First Lien Claims (which shall include the Exit Backstop Parties) (the “First Lien Syndication”); and

               

              

              (b)        7.25% of the Syndication Amount will be available to eligible holders of Second Lien Claims, pro rata based on
                such holders’ Second Lien Claims (which shall include the Exit Backstop Parties) (the “Second Lien Syndication” and, together with the First Lien Syndication, the “Syndication”).

               

              

              The Opportunity will be conducted on the terms and conditions to be set forth in the syndication procedures and related documentation, which procedures and documentation shall be acceptable to the Required Exit
                Backstop Parties.

                Sheet (collectively, on behalf of themselves or certain (i) of their affiliates or their affiliated investment funds, or (ii) investment funds, accounts, vehicles, or other entities that are managed, advised or sub-advised by a member of
                the Ad Hoc Groups or their affiliates, the “Exit Backstop Parties” and, the Exit Backstop Parties providing more than 60% of the commitments to backstop the Syndication Amount, the “Required Exit Backstop Parties”) pursuant to the terms of a commitment agreement (the “Backstop Commitment Agreement”), which will be in form and
                substance acceptable to the Company, the Required Exit Backstop Parties, and in the amounts set forth in, a schedule attached to the Backstop Commitment Agreement (the backstop commitments, the “Exit
                    Backstop Commitments”), in each case subject to negotiation and execution of definitive documentation, and following receipt of all necessary internal approvals.

               

              

              For the avoidance of doubt (i) the First Lien Syndication shall be backstopped solely by those Exit Backstop Parties holding First Lien Claims (in such capacity, the “First
                    Lien Exit Backstop Parties”) pro rata based on such First Lien Claims and (ii) the Second Lien Syndication shall

              As consideration for the commitments of the Exit Backstop Parties, and whether or not the Exit Backstop Parties are required to fund the backstopped portion of the First Lien Exit Loans, under the terms of the
                Backstop Commitment Agreement, each Exit Backstop Party will receive, based on its individual Exit Backstop Commitments and Direct Debt Commitments (as defined below), its pro rata share of a
                premium (the “Exit Put Option Premium” and, together with the Exit Equity Component, the “Exit Equity Issuances”), which will consist of a put
                option premium equal to 6.00% of the aggregate principal amount of Exit Backstop Commitments and Direct Debt Commitments.  The Exit Put Option Premium will be payable in the form of New Common Equity at a 35% discount to Stated Equity
                Value, and as further described on Exhibit C hereto.

                    Debt Placement” and the commitments thereunder, the “Direct Debt Commitment”) an amount equal to 50% of the aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Exit Loans (the “Direct Debt Placement Amount”), allocated as follows: (i) 92.75% of the Direct Debt Placement Amount to the First Lien Exit Backstop Parties, pro rata
                based on such parties’ First Lien Claims; and (ii) 7.25% of the Direct Debt Placement Amount to the Second Lien Exit Backstop Parties, pro rata based on such parties’ Second Lien Claims.  The Direct

                Date, to the fullest extent permitted by such provisions, in each case insuring such parties in respect of any claims, demands, suits, causes of action, or proceedings against such insureds in at least the scope and amount as currently
