(i) Section 2.21 of the DIP Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety as follows:

“2.21 Additional Term Advance Option.

(a) Request for Additional Term Advance. Provided there exists no Default or
Event of Default, upon notice to Agent (which shall promptly notify the Term
Lenders), the Company may on up to two occasions following the Additional Term
Advance Option Effective Date request additional term loans on the same terms (other
than with respect to any upfront fees and/or original issue discount) as, and
ranking pari passu in right of payment and of security with, the Term Advances made
on the Closing Date and on the Final Term Funding Date (the “Additional Term
Advances”), in an aggregate principal amount for all such requests (before
giving effect to any original issue discount) not exceeding $65,000,000;
provided that the initial request for Additional Term Advances shall be made
no later than the date that is five (5) Business Days following the Additional Term
Advance Option Effective Date.

(b) Lender Elections to Provide Additional Term Advances. Additional Term
Advances may be provided by any existing Term Lender or by any Eligible Transferee
selected by the Company, with the consent of the Required Term Lenders (before
giving effect to the proposed Additional Term Advances), such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, that agrees to provide Additional Term Advances, an
“Additional Term Lender”). Each such Additional Term Lender that is not
already a Term Lender shall become party to this Agreement pursuant to a joinder
agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and its counsel,
and each such Additional Term Lender that is already a Term Lender shall evidence
its commitment to provide any such Additional Term Advances pursuant to an agreement
in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent and its counsel. For the
avoidance of doubt, no Term Lender shall have any obligation to provide any
Additional Term Advances unless it shall have so agreed to do so in any definition
documentation entered into by such Additional Term Lender and the Company in
connection with such Additional Term Advances.

(c) Reserved.

(d) Additional Term Advance Closing Date and Allocations. If Additional Term
Advances are provided in accordance with this Section, Agent and the Company shall
determine the effective date (such date, the “Additional Term Advance Closing
Date”) of such Additional Term Advances, and the final allocation of such
Additional Term Advances shall be as agreed among the Company and the Additional
Term Lenders, in consultation with Agent. Agent shall promptly notify the Company
and the Term Lenders of each Additional Term Advance Closing Date. From and after
the making thereof, all Additional Term Advances shall constitute Term Advances for
all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Additional Term Advances. As a condition
precedent to any Additional Term Advance Closing Date, (i) the Company shall deliver
to Agent a certificate of the Borrowers, dated as of such Additional Term Advance
Closing Date, signed by an Authorized Person of the Borrowers (A) certifying and
attaching the resolutions adopted by the Borrowers approving or consenting to such
Additional Term Advances, and (B) certifying that (1) before and after giving effect
to such Additional Term Advances, (x) the representations and warranties of each
Borrower or its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan
Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such
materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties
that already are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on such
Additional Term Advance Closing Date (except to the extent that such representations
and warranties relate solely to an earlier date) and (y) no Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing on such Additional Term Advance
Closing Date, nor shall either result from the making of Additional Term Advances
and (2) the Company is in compliance with the covenants set forth in Sections
7.1, 7.3 and 7.5 after giving pro forma effect
to the incurrence of the Additional Term Advances and (ii) the Required Term Lenders
shall have consented in writing to the terms and provisions of such Additional Term
Advances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Lenders
agree without any further action or consent on the part of any Lender, that the
Agent, the Additional Term Lenders and the Loan Parties may make any changes to the
Loan Documents (other than to this Section 2.21) as may be necessary to
reflect the provision of Additional Term Advances.

(f) Further Assurances. The Loan Parties covenant and agree to promptly
execute and/or deliver to Agent (with a copy to the Required Term Lenders’
Advisors), and, as applicable, cause to be filed or recorded, any and all financing
statements, financial change statements, recordations, fixture filings, security
agreements, pledges, mortgages, deeds of trust and amendments or supplements to
existing Security Documents reasonably requested and considered necessary by Agent
or the Required Term Lenders’ Advisors in connection with the Agent’s Lien in the
Collateral so that such Lien secures any Additional Term Advances made pursuant to
this Section 2.21, with the priority required pursuant to Section
2.21(a).”

(ii) Schedule 1.1 to the DIP Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the
following definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order:

““Additional Term Advance Option Effective Date” has the meaning specified
therefor in Amendment No. 6.”

““Amendment No. 6” means that certain Amendment No. 6 to this Agreement,
dated as of July 22, 2014 by and among the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders
party thereto.”

(c) Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 9(c) below,

hereby amended as follows:

(i) Section 8 of the DIP Credit Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following

“8.31 Modification to PSA If the PSA shall at any time be (i) terminated,
unless a replacement plan support agreement is entered into with respect to an
Acceptable Reorganization Plan within 14 days after the effective date of such
termination, or (ii) amended, supplemented or otherwise modified in a manner such
that the Reorganization Plan supported thereby ceases to constitute an Acceptable
Reorganization Plan, in any such case, without the consent of the Agent and the
Required Lenders.”

(ii) Schedule 1.1 to the DIP Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(A) The definition of Acceptable Reorganization Plan is hereby amended and
restated to read in its entirety as follows:

“Acceptable Reorganization Plan” means a Reorganization Plan that (a)

the Obligations under the Loan Documents (other than contingent indemnification
obligations not yet due and payable) on the effective date of such Reorganization
Plan, (b) contains release and indemnification provisions relating to the Agent and
the Lenders that are reasonably acceptable to the Agent, (c) does not contain any
provisions that are materially inconsistent with the payment, release and
indemnification provisions described in clauses (a) and (b) and (d) contemplates
effectiveness of such Reorganization Plan no later than December 31, 2014.

(B) Clause (a) of the definition of Maturity Date is hereby amended to read
“(a) December 31, 2014,”.

(C) The following new definition is inserted in the appropriate alphabetical
order:

““PSA” means the customary plan support agreement referred to in Section
9(c)(iv) of Amendment No. 6, as the same may be modified or replaced from time to
time to the extent not constituting an Event of Default under Section 8.31.

SECTION 3 . Consent to Amendment of Final Financing Order. Subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section 9(a) below, the Agent and the Lenders signatory hereto
consent to the Final Financing Order being amended to (a) approve the restatement of Section 2.21
of the DIP Credit Agreement contemplated by Section 2(b) hereof, (b) authorize the Borrowers to

that (a) the representations and warranties of the Loan Parties set forth in the Credit Agreement
and in the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except that such
materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations and warranties that already
are qualified or modified by materiality in the text thereof) on and as of each Effective Date (as
defined below), as though made on and as of each such date (except to the extent that such
representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date, in which case such representations
and warranties are true and correct in all material respects (or true and correct, as the case may
be) as of such earlier date) and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
on each Effective Date (as defined below).

SECTION 5 . Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND (TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE) THE BANKRUPTCY CODE.

SECTION 6 . Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. Delivery by facsimile or other electronic imaging means of an executed counterpart of
a signature page to this Amendment shall be effective as delivery of an original executed
counterpart of this Amendment. Delivery to Agent by any Lender of an executed counterpart of a
signature page to this Amendment shall constitute such Lender’s irrevocable consent to each of the
amendments set forth in Section 2 hereof and the consent set forth in Section 3 thereof, which
irrevocable consent shall be binding (a) on such Lender’s successors and assigns in accordance with
the terms hereof, notwithstanding the occurrence of any assignment of or succession in interest to
such Lender’s Advances and/or Commitments prior to the occurrence of any of the Effective Dates and
(b) with respect to any Term Advances and/or Revolver Commitments held by such Lender on the date
