(b) each Commitment Party shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates (as applicable) to, exercise the Subscription Rights issued to and held by such Commitment Party or its Affiliates (as applicable), pursuant to and in accordance with this
Agreement, the Rights Offering Procedures and the Plan; provided, however, that, if and to the extent that the Existing Common Stock Rejection occurs, then the Company shall not accept the subscriptions in respect of the Subscription
Rights of the holders of Existing Common Stock from any holders of Existing Common Stock on account of such holders’ Existing Common Stock and instead all such shares shall be treated as Unsubscribed Shares. If requested by the Requisite
Commitment Parties from time to time prior to the Rights Offering Expiration Time (and any extensions thereto), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify, or cause the Rights Offering Subscription Agent to notify, within two
(2) Business Days of receipt of such request by the Company, the Commitment Parties of the aggregate number of Subscription Rights known by the Company or the Rights Offering Subscription Agent to have been exercised pursuant to the Rights
Offering as of the most recent practicable time before such request. The Rights Offering Shares and the shares of New Common Stock in respect of the Put Option Equity Premium will be made in reliance on the exemption from registration pursuant to
Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Unsubscribed Shares will be issued pursuant to the exemption from registration under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or Regulation D promulgated thereunder. 

Section 2.2 The Backstop Commitment. On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Commitment Party hereby grants to the
Company an option (collectively, the “Put Option”) to require such Commitment Party to purchase Unsubscribed Shares on the Closing Date subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Upon the exercise of the Put
Option, each Commitment Party agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase, and the Company agrees to sell to such Commitment Party, on the Closing Date, the number of Unsubscribed Shares equal to (a) such Commitment Party’s Backstop
Commitment Percentage multiplied by (b) the aggregate number of Unsubscribed Shares (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, such applicable portion of Unsubscribed Shares shall be multiplied by the applicable Backstop Commitment
Percentage for such Commitment Party set forth on Schedule 2A or Schedule 2B, as applicable), rounded among the Commitment Parties solely to avoid fractional shares as the Commitment Parties may determine in their sole discretion
(provided, that in no event shall such rounding reduce the aggregate commitment of the Commitment Parties). The obligations of the Commitment Parties to purchase Unsubscribed Shares as described in this Section 2.2
shall be referred to as the “Backstop Commitment”. The Company may exercise the Put Option by delivery to each Commitment Party of a written put election notice (the “Put Election”);
provided, however, that the Put Option shall automatically and irrevocably be deemed to have been exercised by the Company, without the need for delivery of a written notice or the taking of any further action by the Company or any
other Person. The purchase price payable by each Commitment Party in respect of each Unsubscribed Share that such Commitment Party is obligated to purchase under its Backstop Commitment shall be the Per Share Purchase Price.

Commitment Party Default and to all Commitment Parties substantially concurrently (such five (5) Business Day period, the “Commitment Party Replacement Period”), to make arrangements for one or more of the
Commitment Parties (other than the Defaulting Commitment Party) to purchase all or any portion of the Available Shares (such purchase, a “Commitment Party Replacement”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set
forth in this Agreement and in such amounts based upon the applicable Backstop Commitment Percentage of any such Commitment Parties or as may otherwise be agreed upon by all of the Commitment Parties electing to purchase all or any portion of the
Available Shares (such Commitment Parties, the “Replacing Commitment Parties”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Outside Date shall not be extended automatically as a result of the
existence of a Commitment Party Replacement Period and the Commitment Party Replacement Period shall expire on or before the Outside Date. 

(b) In the event that any Commitment Parties do not elect to purchase all Available Shares available for purchase pursuant to
Section 2.3(a), the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to utilize the Cover Transaction Period to consummate a Cover Transaction. As used herein, “Cover Transaction” means a circumstance in
which the Company, in its sole discretion, arranges for the sale of all or any portion of the Available Shares to any other Person, on terms and conditions substantially similar to the Backstop Commitment and the other terms and conditions
applicable to the Commitment Parties in their obligation to purchase Unsubscribed Shares pursuant to this Agreement, during the Cover Transaction Period, and “Cover Transaction Period” means the ten
(10) Business Day period following expiration of the Commitment Party Replacement Period; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Outside Date shall not be extended automatically as a result of the
existence of a Cover Transaction Period and the Cover Transaction Period shall expire on or before the Outside Date. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company’s election to pursue a Cover Transaction, whether or not consummated, shall not relieve
any Commitment Party of its obligation to fulfill its Backstop Commitment. 
 (c) Any such Available Shares purchased by a Replacing
Commitment Party (and any commitment and applicable aggregate Per Share Purchase Price associated therewith) shall be included, among other things, in the determination of (x) the Unsubscribed Shares of such Replacing Commitment Party for all
purposes hereunder, and (y) the Backstop Commitment Percentage of such Replacing Commitment Party for purposes of Section 2.3(d), Section 2.4(b), and Section 3.1.

 (d) If a Commitment Party is a Defaulting Commitment Party, it shall not be entitled to, and shall be deemed to have irrevocably forfeited
its rights to (i) purchase or otherwise receive any of the Unsubscribed Shares and (ii) receive, any of the Put Option Equity Premium hereunder, and the Replacing Commitment Parties shall instead be entitled to such Put Option Equity
Premium ratably in proportion to their respective Commitment Party Replacement. 
 (e) If a Commitment Party becomes a Defaulting Commitment
Party after the date of this Agreement, it shall be obligated to repay its ratable portion of the Put Option Cash Premium to the Replacing Commitment Parties ratably in proportion to their respective Commitment Party Replacement. 

  
 15 

 (f) No Commitment Party shall have any liability for the Backstop Commitment of any other
Commitment Party or for the failure of any other Commitment Party to exercise its Subscription Rights. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require a Commitment Party to purchase more than its Backstop Commitment Percentage of the
Unsubscribed Shares. 
 (g) For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in
Section 9.2 but subject to Section 10.10, no provision of this Agreement shall relieve any Defaulting Commitment Party from liability hereunder, or limit the availability of the remedies set forth
in Section 10.9, in connection with any such Defaulting Commitment Party’s Commitment Party Default. 

Section 2.4 Subscription Escrow Account Funding.

elected to be purchased by the Rights Offering Participants and the aggregate Per Share Purchase Price therefor; (ii) the aggregate number of Unsubscribed Shares, if any, and the aggregate Per Share Purchase Price therefor; (iii) the aggregate
number of Unsubscribed Shares (based upon such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage) to be issued and sold by Reorganized Parker to such Commitment Party and the aggregate Per Share Purchase Price therefor; and (iv) the escrow
account to which such Commitment Party shall deliver and pay the aggregate Per Share Purchase Price for such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage of the Unsubscribed Shares (the “Subscription Escrow
Account”). The Company shall direct the Rights Offering Subscription Agent to promptly provide any written backup, information and documentation relating to the information contained in the applicable Funding Notice as any Commitment
Party may reasonably request. 
 (b) Subscription Escrow Account Funding. Notwithstanding any earlier obligation contained in the
Rights Offering Procedures, on the second (2nd) Business Day before the Closing Date (such date, the “Subscription Escrow Funding Date”), each Commitment Party shall
deliver and pay an amount equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate Per Share Purchase Price for such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage of the Unsubscribed Shares, plus (ii) the aggregate Per Share Purchase Price for the
Rights Offering Shares pursuant to such Commitment Party’s exercise of its Subscription Rights, by wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars into the Subscription Escrow Account in satisfaction of such Commitment Party’s
Backstop Commitment and its obligations to fully exercise its Subscription Rights. The Subscription Escrow Account shall be established with an escrow agent satisfactory to the Requisite Commitment Parties and the Company pursuant to an escrow
agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Commitment Parties and the Company (the “Subscription Escrow Agreement”). If (x) this Agreement is terminated for any reason or (y) Closing has
not occurred within four (4) Business Days after the Subscription Escrow Funding Date, the funds held in the Subscription Escrow Account shall be released, and each Commitment Party shall receive from the Subscription Escrow Account the cash
amount actually funded to the Subscription Escrow Account by such Commitment Party, without any interest, as soon as practicable thereafter.

Purchase Price for the Unsubscribed Shares purchased by such Commitment Party, in satisfaction of such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment, and against payment of the aggregate Per Share Purchase Price for the Available Shares purchased by

Shares and shares of New Common Stock in respect of the Put Option Equity Premium to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.5(c) into the account of a Commitment Party pursuant to Reorganized Parker’s book entry

Backstop Commitment, (y) agrees to be fully bound by, and subject to, this Agreement as a Commitment Party hereto pursuant to a joinder agreement in the form set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto, and (z) agrees to be bound by the RSA
pursuant to a transfer agreement in the form set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto, and (2) the transferring Commitment Party and Ultimate Purchaser shall have duly executed and delivered to the Company written notice of such Transfer;
provided, further, that no sale or Transfer pursuant to this Section 2.6(b) shall relieve such Commitment Party from its obligations under this Agreement. Other than as set forth in this
Section 2.6(b), no Commitment Party shall be permitted to Transfer all or any portion of its Backstop Commitment without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, 

 

  
 18 

 conditioned or delayed (it being understood that it would be unreasonable for the Company to withhold its
consent to any such Transfer if (i) the transferee is another Commitment Party or an Affiliate of another Commitment Party (other than any portfolio company), or (ii) the transferee has the financial wherewithal to fulfill its obligations
with respect to the Backstop Commitment to be transferred, as determined in the Company’s reasonable opinion after request by the Company to the transferee, and prompt delivery to the Company by the transferee, of proof of such financial
wherewithal, and, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), such transferee provides a written agreement to the Company under which it (w) confirms the accuracy of the representations set forth in Article V as applied to such transferee,
(x) agrees to purchase such portion of such Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment, (y) agrees to be fully bound by, and subject to, this Agreement as a Commitment Party hereto pursuant to a joinder agreement in the form set forth on
Exhibit A attached hereto, and (z) agrees to be bound by the RSA pursuant to a transfer agreement in the form set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto). Any Transfer of a Commitment Party’s obligations under this Agreement made
in violation of this paragraph shall be deemed null and void ab initio and of no force or effect, regardless of any prior notice provided to the Debtors or any Commitment Party, and shall not create any obligation or liability of any Debtor
or any other Commitment Party to the purported transferee. 
 (c) Each Commitment Party, severally and not jointly, agrees that it will not
Transfer, at any time prior to the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person other than in accordance with Section 2.3,
Section 2.6(a), and Section 2.6(b) of this Agreement. After the Closing Date, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict in any way the ability of any Commitment Party (or any permitted transferee thereof) to Transfer
any of its Unsubscribed Shares, Rights Offering Shares or any interest therein; provided, however, that any such Transfer shall be made pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or an exemption from the
registration requirements thereunder and pursuant to applicable securities laws. 
 Section 2.7 No Financial Accommodation
Agreement. The Parties hereby acknowledge, covenant, and agree that: (i) this Agreement does not, and shall not, constitute a “financial accommodation agreement” that cannot be assumed under Section 365(c)(2) of the
Bankruptcy Code and the Parties hereby agree that they shall not take a position to the contrary in the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) the Commitment Parties, alone or in combination, will not initiate,
or assert in, any litigation or other legal proceeding that this Section 2.7 is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, or that this Agreement does or may constitute a “financial accommodation
agreement” under Section 365(c)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.

REIMBURSEMENT 

Section 3.1 Put Option Cash Premium. Subject to Section 3.2, as consideration for the Put Option, the Backstop
Commitment and the other agreements of the Commitment Parties in this Agreement, the Company has paid or caused to be paid on or prior to the execution of this Agreement, an aggregate premium equal to $7,600,000.00, which premium has been paid in
cash to the Commitment Parties or their designees based upon their Backstop Commitment Percentages set forth on Schedule 1 (the “Put Option Cash Premium”). The Put Option Cash Premium is and has been fully earned,
nonrefundable and non-avoidable, and has been paid by the Company, free and clear of any withholding or deduction for any applicable Taxes or any other claim, setoff, or reserve. The Put Option Cash Premium
has been paid irrespective of the amount of Unsubscribed Shares (if any) actually existing or purchased. The provisions for the payment of the Put Option Cash Premium and Expense Reimbursement, and the indemnification provided herein, are an
integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Commitment Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. 

Section 3.2 Return of Put Option Cash Premium; Put Option Equity Premium. 

(a) The Commitment Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that the Put Option Cash Premium shall be returned and repaid to the Company only
(i) if this Agreement is properly terminated by the Commitment Parties solely pursuant to (x) Section 9.1(b)(iii) or (y) Section 9.1(d) if and only if, at such time, (1) the only condition to the
obligations of the Commitment Parties in Section 7.1 remaining to be satisfied is that the Confirmation Order has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court but it has not become a Final Order as set forth in
Section 7.1(c), (2) no Commitment Party has waived the condition in Section 7.1(c), and (3) solely due to the failure to waive the condition in Section 7.1(c), the Outside Date has not occurred, or (ii) if this
Agreement is properly terminated by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii), in each case in respect of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) in this Section 3.2(a), in cash within two (2) Business Days following
such proper termination, and (iii) in connection with the Closing pursuant to the terms of Section 3.2(b). 
 (b) In
connection with, and conditional upon the occurrence of, the Closing, the Commitment Parties shall return and repay the full Put Option Cash Premium to the Company in exchange for, as consideration for the Put Option, the Backstop Commitment and the
other agreements of the Commitment Parties in this Agreement, their ratable share, based on the Commitment Parties’ respective Backstop Commitment Percentages set forth on Schedule 1 on the date of such payment, of 3.3539% of the New
Common Stock, without any need for further payment for such New Common Stock by the Commitment Parties (such New Common Stock, the “Put Option Equity Premium”), to be issued by Reorganized Parker (subject to dilution by New
Common Stock issued in connection with the Management Incentive Plan and the exercise of the New Warrants) (as set forth on Schedule 4); provided, however, that the aggregate Put Option Equity Premium payable pursuant to this
Section 3.2 shall be reduced ratably upon a Commitment Party Default based on the Backstop Commitment Percentage set forth on Schedule 1 of the Defaulting Commitment Party; provided, further, that, if a
Commitment Party Replacement sufficient to cure all or a portion of the Commitment Party Default occurs within the Commitment Party Replacement Period, the Put Option Equity Premium shall only be ratably reduced to the extent of the uncured
Commitment Party Default, and such amount that would have otherwise been reduced shall be paid to the Replacing Commitment Parties; provided, further, that, the obligation to repay the Put Option Cash Premium as set forth in this
Section 3.2(b) shall be several and not joint and not joint and several. 

  
 20 

 (c) The Parties agree to treat the Put Option Cash Premium and the Put Option Equity Premium
as “option premium” for U.S. federal income Tax purposes and to not take any action inconsistent therewith unless otherwise required by a final determination to the contrary within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code. 

Section 3.3 Expense Reimbursement. Until the earlier to occur of (i) the Closing and (ii) the termination of this
Agreement in accordance with its terms, regardless of whether the Restructuring Transactions are consummated, the Company agrees to pay (without duplication, and to the extent not otherwise paid pursuant to Section 14.22 of
the RSA) in cash all reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses (whether incurred before or after execution of this Agreement) of (a) Akin Gump, as counsel to the Commitment Parties and the Consenting Stakeholders, (b) any local
counsel to the Commitment Parties and the Consenting Stakeholders, (c) Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc. (“Houlihan”), as financial advisor to the Commitment Parties and the Consenting Stakeholders, and (d) any consultants or
other professionals retained by the Commitment Parties represented by Akin Gump in connection with the Company Parties or the Restructuring Transactions with the consent of the Company Parties (not to be unreasonably withheld), in each case, in
accordance with the engagement letters of such consultant or professional signed by the Company Parties, including, without limitation, any success fees contemplated therein, and in each case, without further order of, or application to, the
Bankruptcy Court by such consultants or professionals, as applicable (the “Expense Reimbursement”). 
 (a)
Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Company shall pay (i) all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of Akin Gump incurred or estimated to be incurred prior to and including the date hereof and (ii) an amount
equal to $3,000,000.00 to Akin Gump (the “Akin Advance Payment”) and an amount equal to $450,000.00 to Houlihan (the “Houlihan Advance Payment”) and such amounts shall be considered as advance
payments. 
 (b) If, as of the earlier of the Closing or the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX, as
applicable, and after the application of the Akin Advance Payment or the Houlihan Advance Payment, as applicable, to fees and expenses of Akin Gump and/or Houlihan included in the Expense Reimbursement, there remain outstanding amounts in the Akin
Advance Payment or the Houlihan Advance Payment, as applicable (any such amount the “Advance Payment Surplus”), then Akin Gump and/or Houlihan, as applicable, shall repay their portion (if any) of the Advance Payment Surplus
to the Company either within ten (10) days of Closing or within ten (10) days following the termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX, as applicable; provided, that, in the event Closing occurs, the
“Expense Reimbursement” shall also include (for all purposes including determination of the existence of an Advance Payment Surplus) all fees and expenses reasonably expected to be incurred by Akin Gump and/or Houlihan, as applicable,
related to the Restructuring Transactions following Closing (such portion of the Expense Reimbursement in such scenario, the “Post-Closing Expenses”), which shall be paid in connection with Closing as an advance payment. 

(c) Any Expense Reimbursement incurred by Akin Gump or Houlihan in excess of the Akin Advance Payment or Houlihan Advance Payment (including
for Post-Closing Expenses), as applicable, and any other Expense Reimbursement due to any other person, shall be due and payable by the Company contemporaneously with Closing and shall not be due and payable prior thereto. 

  
 21 

 (d) In addition, regardless of whether the Restructuring Transactions are consummated, the
Company shall promptly upon request reimburse each Commitment Party in cash for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs or expenses (without limiting the
Company’s obligations pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 3.3, which out-of-pocket costs or expenses shall not include any
professional or advisor fees of such Commitment Party otherwise covered by this Section 3.3) incurred by such Commitment Party in connection with this Agreement or the Restructuring Transactions in connection with Closing.

council, trade union or other labor organization under any material collective bargaining agreement, works council agreement, labor union contract, trade union agreement or other written agreement or understanding with any union, works council,
trade union or other labor organization to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them is bound.

be expected to result in material adverse liability to the Company or any ERISA Affiliate. The base prototype plan document which each Employee Benefit Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Code uses an opinion letter
from the IRS, or an application for such a letter is currently being processed by the IRS with respect thereto and, to the Knowledge of the Company, nothing has occurred which would prevent, or cause the loss of, such qualification. Except to the

subject to Section 412 of the Code, and no application for a funding waiver or an extension of any amortization period pursuant to Section 412 of the Code has been made with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan.

with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan that could reasonably be expected to result in material adverse liability to the Company or any ERISA Affiliate. There has been no prohibited transaction or violation of the fiduciary responsibility rules
with respect to any Employee Benefit Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in material adverse liability to the Company or any ERISA Affiliate.

 In the event that any such shares are uncertificated,
such shares shall be subject to a restrictive notation substantially similar to the Legend in the stock ledger or other appropriate records maintained by Reorganized Parker or agent and the term “Legend” shall include such restrictive
notation. Reorganized Parker shall remove the Legend (or restrictive notation, as applicable) set forth above from the certificates evidencing any such shares (or the share register or other appropriate Reorganized Company records, in the case of
uncertificated shares), upon request, at any time after the restrictions described in such Legend cease to be applicable, including, as applicable, when such shares may be sold under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The Reorganized Company may
reasonably request such opinions, certificates or other evidence that such restrictions no longer apply as a condition to removing the Legend.

 ARTICLE VIII 

INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION 

Section 8.1 Indemnification Obligations. The Company and its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnifying Parties” and
each an “Indemnifying Party”) shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Commitment Party and its Affiliates, equity holders, members, partners, general partners, managers and its and their respective
Representatives and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and costs and expenses (other than Taxes of the Commitment Parties except to the extent
otherwise provided for in this Agreement) arising out of a claim asserted by a third party (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Indemnified Person may incur or to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby and the obligations hereunder, including the Backstop Commitments, the Rights Offering, the payment of the Put Option Equity Premium or the use of the proceeds of the
Rights Offering, or any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Company, its
Subsidiaries, their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Person, and reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for reasonable documented (with such documentation subject to redaction to preserve attorney client and work
product privileges) legal or other third-party expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence in or preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation,
claim or other proceeding relating to any of the foregoing (including in connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth herein), irrespective of whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Plan
are consummated or whether or not this Agreement is terminated; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Losses (a) as to a Defaulting Commitment Party, its Related Parties
or any Indemnified Person related thereto, caused by a Commitment Party Default by such Commitment Party, or (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, whether such judgment is in such underlying action, suit or proceeding, or otherwise, to arise from the bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person. 

Section 8.2 Indemnification Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim,
challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in
writing of the commencement thereof; provided, however, that (a) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has
been materially prejudiced by such failure and (b) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article
VIII. In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, at its election by
providing written notice to such Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided, however, that if the parties
(including any 

  
 49 

 impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified Person and the Indemnifying
Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person’s counsel there are legal defenses available to such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall have
the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Indemnified Claims. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the
defense of such Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense
thereof or participation therein (other than reasonable costs of investigation) unless (i) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel) in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in
accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified Persons who are parties
to such Indemnified Claims (in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel is required)), (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such
Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of commencement of the Indemnified Claims from, or delivered on behalf of, the Indemnified Person, (iii) after the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of
the Indemnified Claims, the Indemnified Person determines in good faith that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend such claim and provides written notice of such determination and the basis for such determination, and such
failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of such notice, or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding anything herein to
the contrary, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall have sole control over any Tax controversy or Tax audit and shall be permitted to settle any liability for Taxes of the Company and its Subsidiaries. 

Section 8.3 Settlement of Indemnified Claims. In connection with any Indemnified Claim for which an Indemnified Person is assuming
the defense in accordance with this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected by such Indemnified Person without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If any settlement of any Indemnified Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such Indemnified
Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Person from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent such Losses are otherwise subject to indemnification by the
Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, this Article VIII. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VIII to the contrary, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested the
Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Person for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Indemnified Claims as contemplated by this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall be
liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected without its written consent if (a) such settlement is entered into more than forty-five (45) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such request for reimbursement, so long as
the Indemnifying Party has not notified the Indemnified Party that it contests, in good faith, such request for reimbursement, (b) the 
  

  
 50 

 
Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement, and (c) the Indemnifying Party shall not have
instructed the Indemnified Person to avoid settlement of any Indemnified Claims prior to the date of such settlement. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall be granted or
withheld, conditioned or delayed in the Indemnified Person’s sole discretion), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims in respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified
Person unless (i) such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified Claims
and (ii) such settlement does not include any statement as to or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person. 

Section 8.4 Contribution. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient
to hold it harmless from Losses that are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Loss in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and
such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall be deemed
to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company pursuant to the issuance and sale of the Unsubscribed Shares in the Rights Offering contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan bears to
(b) the Put Option Cash Premium and the Put Option Equity Premium paid or proposed to be paid to the Commitment Parties. The Indemnifying Parties also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability based on their comparative or
contributory negligence or otherwise to the Indemnifying Parties, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any of the Indemnifying Parties, or any other Person in connection with an Indemnified Claim. 

Section 8.5 Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this
Article VIII shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the Per Share Purchase Price for all Tax purposes. The provisions of this Article VIII are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement and without these provisions the Commitment Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. 
 Section 8.6 No
Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing Date except for covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be satisfied after the Closing Date, which covenants and
agreements shall survive until satisfied in accordance with their terms.

 54 

 Article X shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms,

Company and (ii) contemporaneously with the Closing, the Commitment Parties shall return the full Put Option Cash Premium to the Company in exchange for the Put Option Equity Premium in accordance with Section 3.2(b). For the
avoidance of doubt, other than the Company’s payment of the Put Option Cash Premium, which has been paid to the Commitment Parties at or prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement, the Commitment Parties shall not and do not have any
additional recourse against the Debtors for any obligations or liabilities relating to or arising from this Agreement, except for liability for gross negligence or willful or intentional breach of this Agreement pursuant to
Section 9.2(a). For the avoidance of doubt, the automatic stay arising pursuant to section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code shall be deemed waived or modified for purposes of providing notice or exercising rights hereunder and under the RSA.

its Subsidiaries only by a written instrument executed by the Company and (ii) by the Requisite Commitment Parties only by a written instrument executed by the Requisite Commitment Parties. No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any
right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any Party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right,
power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement. Any proposed amendment, restatement, modification, change, alteration,
supplement or waiver that does not comply with this Section 10.7 shall be ineffective and void ab initio. 

Section 10.8 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not in any way affect the meaning

enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, no right or remedy described or provided in
this Agreement is intended to be exclusive or to preclude a Party from pursuing other rights and remedies to the extent available under this Agreement, at law or in equity. 

Section 10.10 Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Parties will be liable for, and
none of the Parties shall claim or seek to recover, any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages or damages for lost profits. 

Section 10.11 No Reliance. No Commitment Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duties or obligations to the other

Related Parties shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties to the other Commitment Parties, (b) no Commitment Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duty to take any discretionary 

  
 59

to obtain, through the exercise of diligence or otherwise, to investigate, confirm, or disclose to the other Commitment Parties any information relating to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that may have been communicated to or obtained by such
Commitment Party or any of its Affiliates in any capacity, (d) no Commitment Party may rely, and each Commitment Party confirms that it has not relied, on any due diligence investigation that any other Commitment Party or any Person acting on
behalf of such other Commitment Party may have conducted with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective securities and (e) each Commitment Party acknowledges that no other Commitment Party is acting as a
placement agent, initial purchaser, underwriter, broker or finder with respect to its Unsubscribed Shares or Backstop Commitment Percentage of its Backstop Commitment.

or regulatory authority, no Party shall disclose to any person (including for the avoidance of doubt, any other Commitment Party), other than legal, accounting, financial and other advisors to the Company Parties (who are under obligations of
confidentiality to the Company Parties with respect to such disclosure, and whose compliance with such obligations the Company Parties shall be responsible for), the name or the principal amount or percentage of the Company Claims/Interests held by
any Commitment Party or any of its respective subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Company Claims/Interests acquired pursuant to any Transfer); provided, however, that the Company Parties shall be permitted to
disclose at any time the aggregate principal amount of, and aggregate percentage of, any class of the Company Claims/Interests held by the Commitment Parties collectively; and, provided, further, that the Company Parties may disclose
the names of any Commitment Party (at the institution level) at a hearing in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, but not the principal amount or percentage of the Company Claims/Interests held by any such Commitment Party or any of its respective
subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Company Claims/Interests acquired pursuant to any Transfer). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Commitment Parties hereby consent to the disclosure of the execution, terms and contents of this
Agreement by the Company Parties in the Definitive Documents or as otherwise required by law or regulation; provided, however, that (i) if any of the Company Parties determines that they are required to attach a copy of this

Commitment Party and such Commitment Party’s holdings (including before filing any pleading with the Bankruptcy Court) and (ii) if disclosure of additional identifying information of any Commitment Party is required by applicable Law,
advance notice of the intent to disclose, if permitted by applicable Law, shall be given by the disclosing Party to each Commitment Party (who shall have the right to seek a protective order prior to disclosure). The Company Parties further agree
that such information shall be redacted from “closing sets” or other representations of the fully executed Agreement, any Joinder or Transfer Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company Parties will submit to counsel for the
Commitment Parties all press releases, public filings, public announcements or other communications with any news media, in each case, to be made by the Company Parties relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and any
amendments thereof at least two (2) Business Days (it being 

  
 60 

 
understood that such period may be shortened to the extent there are exigent circumstances that require such public communication to be made to comply with applicable law) in advance of release
and will take such counsel’s view with respect to such communications into account. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to waive, amend or modify the terms of any Confidentiality Agreement. 

Section 10.13 Settlement Discussions. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are part of a proposed settlement of
a dispute between the Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Section 408 of the U.S. Federal Rule of Evidence and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating

this Agreement). 
 Section 10.14 No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and
notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Parties may be partnerships or limited liability companies, each Party 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 Related Parties, in each case, other than the Parties to this Agreement and each of their respective successors and permitted
assignees based upon, arising out of or relating to 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 not a Party to this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith, 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 10.14 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 this Agreement or such
other documents or instruments entered into in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including any confidentiality, non-disclosure or similar agreements). 

Section 10.15 Enforceability of Agreement. The Parties hereby acknowledge, covenant and agree: (i) that the provision of any
notice or exercise of termination rights under this Agreement is not prohibited by the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) that they waive any right to assert that the exercise of any notice or termination rights under this
Agreement is subject to the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and expressly stipulate and consent hereunder to the prospective modification of the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of exercising notice and
termination rights under this Agreement, to the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines that such relief is required, (iii) that they shall not take a position to the contrary of this Section 10.15 in the Bankruptcy
Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction and (iv) that they will not initiate, or assert in, any litigation or other legal proceeding that this Section 10.15 is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.

 Section 10.16 Relationship Among Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein, the duties and obligations of the Commitment Parties under this Agreement shall be several, not joint. None of the Commitment Parties shall have any fiduciary duty, any duty of trust or confidence in any form, or other duties or
responsibilities to each other, any Commitment Party, any Company Party, or any of the Company Party’s respective creditors or other stakeholders, and there are no commitments among or between the Commitment Parties, in each case except as
expressly set forth in this Agreement. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidence among or between any of the Commitment Parties and/or the Company Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement. The
Parties have no agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of any securities of any of the Company Parties and do not constitute a “group” within the
meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act or Rule 13d-5 promulgated thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt: (1) each Commitment Party is entering into this Agreement directly with the Company
and not with any other Commitment Party, (2) no other Commitment Party shall have any right to bring any action against any other Commitment Party with respect to this Agreement (or any breach thereof) and (3) no Commitment Party shall,
nor shall any action taken by a Commitment Party pursuant to this Agreement, be deemed to be acting in concert or as any group with any other Commitment Party with respect to the obligations under this Agreement nor shall this Agreement create a
presumption that the Commitment Parties are in any way acting as a group. All rights under this Agreement are separately granted to each Commitment Party by the Company and vice versa, and the use of a single document is for the convenience of the
Company. The decision to commit to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been made independently.

SECOND
AMENDMENT AGREEMENT TO SECURED CONVERTIBLE NOTE

DUE
NOVEMBER 16, 2019 

 

This Second Amendment Agreement (this “Amendment”)
to the Secured Convertible Notes due November 16, 2019 (the “Notes”), is made and entered into as of December
11, 2018, among XpresSpa Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the Holders identified
on the signature page hereto. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the
Notes.

 

RECITALS:

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Holders
entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of May 15, 2018 (the “SPA”) pursuant to which the Holders
were issued Notes as set forth on Schedule A hereto.

 

WHEREAS, on August 14, 2018, the
Company and each of the Holders entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “1st Amendment”) to amend
certain terms of the Notes and the SPA;

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2(a)
of the Notes (as amended by the 1st Amendment), the Company is obligated, commencing on January 16, 2019, to make monthly
payments of interest (the “Monthly Interest Payments”) in cash, or at the election of the Company, such interest
may be paid in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Company’s common stock, par value
$0.01 (the “Common Stock”), or a combination thereof (the amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock, the “Interest
Share Amount”).

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2(a)
of the Notes, the Interest Share Amount is to be determined by dividing the amount of interest on the subject Interest Payment
Date by the then applicable Conversion Price.

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2(b)
of the Notes (as amended by the 1st Amendment), the Company is obligated, commencing on January 16, 2019, to make monthly
payments of the principal on the Notes (the “Amortization Payments” and collectively with the Monthly Interest
Payments, the “Monthly Payments”).

 

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 2(b)
of the Notes, the Company may elect to pay the Amortization Payments with shares of Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares
of Common Stock (the amount to be paid in shares of Common Stock, “Principal Share Amount”) subject to certain
conditions. The Principal Share Amount is to be determined by dividing (i) the monthly principal amount by (ii) ninety percent
(90%) of the VWAP of the Common Stock for the five (5) Trading Days commencing eight (8) days prior to the relevant Repayment Date
and ending on the fourth (4th) Trading Day preceding such Repayment Date; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing,
the result of such calculation shall not be less than twenty percent (20%) of the Conversion Price on the Original Issue Date (subject
to appropriate adjustments for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, reclassifications, combinations or other similar
transactions after the Issuance Date) (the “Conversion Price Floor”); provided, further, however, that the result of
this calculation can be reduced below the Conversion Price Floor if the Company is not then subject to Nasdaq Listing Rule 5635(d)
or if approved by Nasdaq.

 

WHEREAS, the Company and the Holder
now desire to amend certain additional terms of the Notes and the SPA as previously amended by the 1st Amendment;

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises and covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

 

     

     

    

 

1. On or prior to March
31, 2019, each Holder shall be permitted to convert its pro rata amount of the Notes indicated on Schedule A at a conversion
price of $0.20 per share of Common Stock such that the maximum number of shares to be issued pursuant to this Amendment shall not
exceed 5,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

 

2. Each Holder hereby
waives the Company’s obligation to make any Monthly Payments for the months of January, February and March 2019 (the “Second
Waiver Period”). Each Holder and the Company agrees that the aggregate Monthly Payments during the Second Waiver Period
that would otherwise be due and payable during the Second Waiver Period but for the entry into this Amendment shall be spread over
the remaining life of the Notes. Amounts of conversions of principal amount made by the Holder or the Company pursuant to this
Amendment, Section 4 of the Notes and amounts paid pursuant to Section 6 of the Notes shall be applied first against outstanding
fees and damages, then against outstanding already payable accrued interest and then to principal amounts of Monthly Payments during
the Second Waiver Period in chronological order and thereafter to Monthly Payments in reverse chronological order.

 

3. The Company hereby
undertakes to, as soon as is reasonably practicable, file a proxy statement requesting from its stockholders approval for the inclusion
of applicable language in the Notes to permit the Company, at its option, to further reduce the conversion price of the Notes at
an unspecified future date.

 

4. The Company and
the Holders hereby acknowledge and agree that the shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder shall be deemed to be an “Exempt
Issuance” pursuant to the definition of “Exempt Issuance” as defined in the SPA.

 

5. Except as explicitly
modified herein, the Transaction Documents (as defined in the SPA) shall remain in full force and effect.

 

6. This Amendment shall
be governed in accordance with terms of the Notes.

 

7. Except with respect
to the material terms and conditions of this Amendment, which shall be disclosed within two (2) Business Days of the date hereof,
the Company covenants and agrees that neither it, nor any other Person acting on its behalf will provide any Holder or its respective
agents or counsel with any information that constitutes, or the Company reasonably believes constitutes, material non-public information,
unless prior thereto such Holder shall have consented to the receipt of such information and agreed with the Company to keep such
information confidential. From and after the disclosure of the material terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company represents
to the Holders that it shall have publicly disclosed all material, non-public information delivered to the Holders by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents in connection with this Amendment.

 

8. This Amendment may
be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall
become effective when counterparts have been signed by the Company and each of the Holders, it being understood that the parties
need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery
of a “.pdf” format data file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or
on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature
page were an original thereof.
