G. Findings Regarding DIP Facility and Use of Cash Collateral.

1. Good Cause. Good and sufficient cause has been shown for the entry of this Final Order and for the Debtors to obtain postpetition financing pursuant to the terms hereof

14

and the DIP Documents, to use the Cash Collateral and to authorize the provision of adequate protection for the Prepetition Secured Parties.

2. Need for Postpetition Financing and Use of Cash Collateral. As set forth in the DIP Declarations and the First Day Declaration, the Debtors have an immediate and critical need to enter into the DIP Facility and use Cash Collateral in order to, among other things, (i) permit the orderly continuation and operation of their businesses, (ii) maintain business relationships with customers, vendors and suppliers, (iii) make payroll, (iv) make capital expenditures, (v) pay the expenses of the Chapter 11 Cases, (vi) satisfy working capital and operational needs of the Debtors, (v) repay, in full, the Prepetition RCF Obligations using the DIP Loan Proceeds, (vi) pay the Adequate Protection Fees and Expenses and the Adequate Protection Payments and (vii) for general corporate purposes, in each case, in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Final Order and the DIP Documents, including the Approved Budget (subject to Permitted Variances, as defined in the DIP Term Sheet). The Debtors require immediate access to sufficient working capital and liquidity through the incurrence of loans and other financial accommodations under the DIP Facility and the use of the Prepetition Secured Parties’ Cash Collateral in order to preserve, maintain and maximize the going concern value of the Debtors and to facilitate an orderly and successful reorganization of the Debtors. Without access to the DIP Facility and the authorized use of Cash Collateral upon the terms set forth herein, the Debtors and their estates will be immediately and irreparably harmed.

3. No Credit Available on More Favorable Terms. As set forth in the DIP Declarations and the First Day Declaration, the Debtors, based on current circumstances, are unable to obtain financing or other financial accommodations on more favorable terms from sources other than the DIP Lender. The Debtors are unable to obtain adequate unsecured credit allowable as an administrative expense under section 503(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are also unable to obtain adequate secured credit allowable under sections 364(c)(1), 364(c)(2) and 364(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code without (a) granting to the DIP Lender the

15

rights, benefits, remedies and protections set forth herein and in the DIP Documents, including the DIP Liens in all DIP Collateral and the DIP Superpriority Claims, and (b) granting to the Prepetition Secured Parties the rights, benefits remedies and protections set forth herein and in the DIP Documents, upon the terms set forth herein and therein.

4. Use of Proceeds of DIP Facility and Cash Collateral. As a condition to the DIP Lender providing the DIP Facility and the Prepetition Secured Parties consenting to the use of Prepetition Collateral (including Cash Collateral), each of the DIP Lender and the Prepetition Secured Parties as applicable require, and the Debtors have agreed, that all DIP Loan Proceeds and/or Cash Collateral shall be used and/or applied solely for the purposes expressly permitted in, and in a manner consistent with, the Approved Budget (as defined herein), (subject to Permitted Variances) including (i) post-petition general corporate and working capital purposes of the Debtors; (ii) the DIP Professional Fees and Expenses (as defined below); (iii) the allowed administrative costs and expenses of the Chapter 11 Cases, including professional fees and expenses; (iv) payment of prepetition claims authorized by the Court and expressly contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement or consented to by the DIP Lender; (v) payment of the Prepetition RCF Obligations, in full, pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement; (vi) payment of the Adequate Protection Fees and Expenses and the Adequate Protection Payments; (vii) Adequate Protection Claims (as defined below); and (viii) any forecasted cash outlays included in any Approved Budget, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of this Final Order and the DIP Documents.

5. Approved Budget. The Debtors have prepared and delivered to the DIP Lender, the Ad Hoc Group (as defined below), and the Consenting RCF Lenders (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) the itemized cash flow forecast reflecting, on a line item, cumulative and aggregate basis, a thirteen-week (13-week) detailed rolling cash projection, which has been approved by the DIP Lender (the “Approved Budget”) and is attached hereto as Schedule 1. The Approved Budget is an integral part of this Final Order, and the DIP Lender and the Prepetition Secured Parties are relying, in part, upon the Debtors’ agreement to comply

16

with the Approved Budget (subject to Permitted Variances) in determining to consent to the use of Cash Collateral, enter into the DIP Facility, and to allow the Debtors’ use of proceeds of the DIP Facility in accordance with the terms of this Final Order and the DIP Documents.

6. Consent by the Prepetition Secured Parties. The Prepetition Secured Parties have consented (or are deemed to have consented) to the Debtors’ use of Prepetition Collateral (including Cash Collateral) and to the Debtors’ entry into the DIP Facility, with the consent of the Prepetition RCF Agent and the Prepetition RCF Lenders expressly conditioned on repayment in full of the Prepetition RCF Obligations, which occurred following entry of the Interim Order, as set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement. The Prepetition Secured Parties shall have no liability for consenting to (or not opposing) the Debtors’ entry into the DIP Facility and the use of Prepetition Collateral, including Cash Collateral, pursuant to the DIP Orders.

7. Good Faith. The terms of the DIP Facility and the DIP Documents, the terms of adequate protection granted to the Prepetition Secured Parties hereunder, and the terms upon which the Debtors may continue to use Prepetition Collateral, including Cash Collateral, pursuant to the terms of the DIP Orders and the DIP Documents, were negotiated in good faith and at arm’s length among the DIP Loan Parties, the DIP Lender, the Prepetition Secured Parties and/or their respective representatives, and all of the DIP Loan Parties’ obligations and indebtedness arising under, in respect of, or in connection with, the DIP Facility, the DIP Documents and the DIP Orders, including, without limitation, all loans, advances, extensions of credit and other financial accommodations made to and guarantees issued by the DIP Loan Parties pursuant to the DIP Documents, shall each be deemed to have been extended by the DIP Lender and each of their respective affiliates, in good faith, as that term is used in section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and in express reliance upon the protections offered by sections 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, and each of the claims, liens and security interests, rights, remedies, benefits and protections granted to the DIP Lender and the Prepetition Secured Parties (and their successors and assigns) pursuant to the DIP Orders and the DIP Documents (including, without

17

limitation, the DIP Liens, the DIP Superpriority Claims, the DIP Obligations, the Adequate Protection Liens, the Adequate Protection Claims, and the other Adequate Protection Obligations) shall be entitled to the full protection of section 364(e) of the Bankruptcy Code in the event that this Final Order or any provision hereof is vacated, reversed, or modified, on appeal or otherwise. The Prepetition Secured Parties have acted in good faith, and each of the claims, liens and security interests, rights, remedies, benefits and protections granted to the Prepetition Secured Parties (and their successors and assigns) pursuant to the DIP Orders and the DIP Documents (including, without limitation, all Adequate Protection Liens, Adequate Protection Claims, and other Adequate Protection Obligations) shall be entitled to the full protection of section 363(m) of the Bankruptcy Code in the event that this Final Order or any provision hereof is vacated, reversed, or modified, on appeal or otherwise.

8. Proper Exercise of Business Judgment.

10. Immediate Entry; Relief Essential. The Debtors have requested, and the Court hereby finds that sufficient cause exists for, the immediate entry of this Final Order pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 4001(b)(2) and 4001(c)(2) and the Local Bankruptcy Rules. Unless the relief set forth in this Final Order is granted, the Debtors’ estates will be immediately and irreparably harmed. Consummation of the DIP Facility, and the use of Prepetition Collateral (including Cash Collateral) upon the terms set forth in this Final Order and the DIP Documents are necessary to preserve and maximize the value of the Debtors, are in the best interests of the Debtors and their estates, and are consistent with the Debtors’ exercise of their fiduciary duties.

NOW THEREFORE, based upon the foregoing findings and conclusions, the DIP Motions, the First Day Declaration, the DIP Declarations, the evidence adduced at the DIP Hearings and the record before the Court, and after due consideration, and good and sufficient cause appearing therefor,

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1. Motion Granted. The DIP Motions are hereby granted on an final basis, and the DIP Facility and the use of Cash Collateral is hereby authorized and approved, in each case, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Final Order and the DIP Documents.

This Final Order shall become effective and enforceable immediately upon its entry.

2. Authorization of DIP Facility and DIP Documents.

The DIP Loan Proceeds shall be placed into a segregated account held by the Debtors, it being understood that the DIP Loan Proceeds shall be used by the Debtors to, among other things, (i) make the Adequate Protection Payments due during the course of these Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the terms of this Final Order and (ii) pay operating costs and expenses or other general corporate purposes of the Debtors prior to using any Cash Collateral.

The Debtors shall agree to indemnify and hold harmless the DIP Lender (solely in its capacity as DIP Lender) and each of its respective affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors, attorneys and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel), that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or the preparation of a defense in connection therewith), arising out of or in connection with or by reason of the DIP Facility, or any of transactions contemplated hereby, except to the extent arising from an Indemnified Party’s actual fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this paragraph applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any of the Debtors, any of their respective directors, security holders or creditors, an Indemnified Party or any other person or an Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

e. Modification of DIP Documents. The DIP Loan Parties are hereby authorized to execute, deliver and perform under one or more amendments, waivers, consents, or other modifications to and under the DIP Documents, in each case, in accordance with the provisions of the DIP Term Sheet, governing amendments thereto, each without further application to or order of the Court; provided, however, that any amendment, waiver, consents or other modification to the DIP Term Sheet shall require, at a minimum, the prior written consent of the DIP Lender and the Required Consenting Noteholders (as defined in the Restructuring

21

Support Agreement)⁵ and the reasonable consent of the Threshold Consenting RCF Lenders (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement); provided, further, however, that any amendment that (a) shortens the maturity of the extensions of credit thereunder, (b) increases the aggregate commitments thereunder, or (c) increases the cash rate of interest payable with respect thereto shall require further Court approval.

3. DIP Obligations.

a. The DIP Term Sheet and any applicable DIP Documents shall constitute valid, binding, enforceable, and non-avoidable obligations of each of the DIP Loan Parties, and shall be fully enforceable against each of the DIP Loan Parties, their estates, and any successors thereto, including, without limitation, any estate representative or trustee appointed in any of these Chapter 11 Cases or in any case under Chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code upon the conversion of any of the Chapter 11 Cases, or in any other proceedings superseding or relating to any of the foregoing, and/or upon the dismissal of any of the Chapter 11 Cases or any such successor cases (collectively, the “Successor Cases”), in each case, in accordance with the terms of the DIP Documents and this Final Order.

b. The DIP Term Sheet and any applicable DIP Documents, the DIP Loan Parties shall be jointly and severally liable for all DIP Obligations, including, without limitation, all loans, advances, indebtedness, obligations, extensions of credit, financial accommodations, principal, interest, payments, or similar amounts, fees, costs, expenses, charges, indemnification and reimbursement obligations (whether contingent or absolute), and all other amounts, whether or not such obligations arose before or after the Petition Date, whenever the same shall become due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by required prepayment, declaration, acceleration, demand or otherwise, to the DIP Lender under the DIP Documents or this Final Order.

22

c. All obligations incurred, payments made, and transfers or grants of liens and security interests set forth in this Final Order, the DIP Term Sheet and the DIP Documents by the DIP Loan Parties are granted to or for the benefit of the DIP Loan Parties for fair consideration and reasonably equivalent value and are granted contemporaneously with the making of the loans and commitments and other financial accommodations secured thereby. No obligation, payment, transfer, or grant of liens or security interests under this Final Order, the DIP Term Sheet or the DIP Documents to the DIP Lender shall be limited, stayed, restrained, voidable, avoidable, or recoverable under the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable law, or subject to any challenge, objection, defense or claim, including, without limitation, avoidance (whether under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or under applicable law (including any applicable state law Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law)), reduction, setoff, offset, recoupment, recharacterization, subordination (whether equitable, contractual or otherwise), reclassification, disgorgement, disallowance, impairment, marshalling, surcharge, recovery or other cause of action of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether arising under the Bankruptcy Code, applicable non-bankruptcy law or otherwise (subject, solely in the case of the DIP Professional Fees and Expenses (as defined below), only to the procedures set forth in paragraph 10 of this Final Order).

No Obligation to Extend Credit. The DIP Lender shall have no obligation to make any loan or advance available under the DIP Documents unless all of the conditions precedent to the making of such loan or advance by the DIP Lender have been satisfied in full (or waived by the DIP Lender in its sole discretion) in accordance with the terms of this Final Order, the DIP Term Sheet and any applicable DIP Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Final Order, the DIP Term Sheet or the DIP Documents to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of the DIP Facility Loans advanced under the DIP Facility pursuant to the DIP Documents (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any interest paid-in-kind with respect thereto), at any time exceed the DIP Facility Commitment.

4. DIP Liens and DIP Superpriority Claims.

23

a. As security for the prompt and complete payment and performance of all DIP Obligations when due (whether upon stated maturity, prepayment, acceleration, declaration or otherwise), and without the necessity of the execution, recordation or filing by any of the DIP Loan Parties or the DIP Lender of any pledge, collateral or security documents, mortgages, deeds of trust, financing statements, notations of certificates of title, or any similar document or instrument, or the taking of any other action (including, without limitation, entering into any control agreements or taking any other action to take possession or control of any DIP Collateral), the DIP Lender, for the benefit of itself or any of its assigns, is hereby granted valid, binding, enforceable, non-avoidable, and automatically and properly perfected liens and security interests (collectively, the “DIP Liens”) in all DIP Collateral, in each case, subject and subordinate to the Carve Out, and subject to the relative priorities set forth herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the DIP Liens and DIP Obligations shall be junior in priority and subordinate to (x) the Prepetition Secured Liens and Prepetition Secured Obligations, (y) the Permitted Prior Liens, and (z) the Adequate Protection Liens and Adequate Protection Claims. [Notwithstanding any provisions of the DIP Motions, the DIP Orders, or any agreements approved hereby, the statutory liens currently held by the Texas Taxing Authorities⁶ or which shall arise during the course of these Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to applicable non-bankruptcy law for prepetition and postpetition ad valorem taxes (the “Tax Liens”) shall neither be primed by nor subordinated to any liens granted thereby or pursuant to this Final Order to the extent such Tax Liens are valid, senior, perfected, unavoidable and, under applicable non-bankruptcy law, are granted priority over a prior perfected security interest or lien, and all parties’ rights to object to the priority, validity, amount, and extent of the claims and liens asserted by the Texas Taxing Authorities are fully preserved.]

24

b. The term “DIP Collateral” means all assets and properties of each of the DIP Loan Parties and their estates, of any kind or nature whatsoever, wherever located, whether tangible or intangible, real, personal or mixed, whether now owned or consigned by or to, or leased from or to, or hereafter acquired by, or arising in favor of, each of the DIP Loan Parties (including under any trade names, styles or derivations thereof), whether prior to or after the Petition Date, including, without limitation, (i) all Prepetition Collateral, (ii) to the extent not Prepetition Collateral, all money, cash and cash equivalents, deposit accounts, securities accounts, commodities accounts or other accounts, accounts receivable, rights to payment, contracts and contract rights, minerals and mineral rights, instruments, documents and chattel paper, securities (whether or not marketable), goods, furniture, machinery, plants, equipment (including documents of title), vehicles, inventory (wherever located), real property and leasehold interests, fixtures, franchise rights, patents, tradenames, trademarks, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property, general intangibles, tax or other refunds, or insurance proceeds, the issued and outstanding capital stock of each Debtor, other equity or ownership interests, including equity interests in subsidiaries and non-wholly-owned subsidiaries, limited liability company interests, partnership interests, financial assets, investment property, supporting obligations, letters of credit and letter of credit rights, commercial tort claims and other claims and causes of action, books and records, and all rents, products, offspring, profits, and proceeds of each of the foregoing and all accessions to, substitutions and replacements for each of the foregoing, including any and all proceeds of any insurance (including any business interruption and property insurance), indemnity, warranty or guaranty payable to any Debtor from time to time with respect to any of the foregoing, and (iii) all proceeds of or property recovered (whether by judgment, settlement, or otherwise) from all claims and causes of action arising under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable state law Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law (collectively, the “Avoidance Action Proceeds”)[; provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, with respect to any leases between the Debtors and SCF Funding I,

25

LLC or STORE Master Funding IV, LLC, respectively, DIP Collateral shall only include proceeds of any such leasehold interest and not the leasehold interest themselves].

c. Subject to the Carve-Out (as defined below), the DIP Collateral shall be subject to the following priorities:

26

d. Any provision of any lease, loan document, easement, use agreement, proffer, covenant, license, contract, organizational document or other agreement that requires the consent or approval of one or more landlords, licensors or other parties, or requires the payment of any fees or obligations to any governmental entity, non-governmental entity or any other person or entity, in order for any Debtor to pledge, grant, mortgage, sell, assign, or otherwise transfer any interest therein (including any fee or leasehold interest), any proceeds thereof or other DIP Collateral, shall be deemed inconsistent with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and shall have no force or effect with respect to the granting of the DIP Liens or Adequate Protection Liens in any such interest therein or other DIP Collateral, or in the proceeds of any assignment and/or sale thereof by any Debtor in favor of the DIP Lender and the Prepetition Secured Parties, as applicable, in accordance with the DIP Documents and this Final Order.

5. Use of DIP Collateral and Cash Collateral.

a. The Debtors are hereby authorized to use the DIP Loan Proceeds and all Cash Collateral solely to the extent expressly permitted under the Approved Budget

27

(subject to Permitted Variances) and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Final Order, the DIP Term Sheet and any applicable DIP Documents.

b. All determinations with respect to the use of Cash Collateral shall be made by the Prepetition Secured Parties in accordance with any applicable provisions of that certain First Lien Intercreditor Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2020, by and among Akumin, such subsidiaries of Akumin, as party thereto, and the Prepetition Agents, it being understood that upon repayment in full of the Prepetition RCF, and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all such determinations with respect to the use of Cash Collateral shall be made by the Required Consenting Noteholders.

c. Without the prior written consent of the DIP Lender, the Required Consenting Noteholders, and the reasonable consent of the Threshold Consenting RCF Lenders, the DIP Loan Parties shall not sell, transfer, lease, encumber, or otherwise dispose of any portion of the DIP Collateral (or enter into any binding agreement to do so), except as may be expressly permitted by this Final Order, the Approved Budget, the DIP Term Sheet and any applicable DIP Documents. All collections and DIP Loan Proceeds, whether from ordinary course collections, asset sales, debt or equity issuances, insurance recoveries, condemnation, or otherwise, will be deposited and applied as required by this Final Order, the DIP Term Sheet and any applicable DIP Documents. The Debtors shall not transfer any cash, assets, properties or other DIP Collateral to any DIP Loan Party or other affiliate of the Debtors that is not a Debtor in these Chapter 11 Cases without the prior written consent of the DIP Lender, the Required Consenting Noteholders, and the reasonable consent of Threshold Consenting RCF Lenders, each in their discretion.

d. Except as may be provided in the DIP Term Sheet or the DIP Documents, the Debtors are authorized and directed, upon the closing of a sale of any of the DIP Collateral that also constitutes Prepetition Collateral (the “Shared Collateral”) (other than sales in the ordinary course of business), to immediately pay all proceeds of any such sale to the Prepetition Secured Parties to satisfy the Prepetition Secured Obligations, Prepetition Secured

28

Claims, Adequate Protection Obligations, and the Adequate Protection Claims until indefeasibly Paid in Full,⁷ as applicable, and then, thereafter, to the DIP Lender to satisfy the DIP Obligations in accordance with this Final Order, the DIP Term Sheet, and the DIP Documents until Paid in Full; and any order approving the sale of such DIP Collateral shall provide that the sale is conditioned upon the payment of such Prepetition Secured Obligations, Prepetition Secured Claims, Adequate Protection Claims, other Adequate Protection Obligations, (except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by the DIP Lender, the Required Consenting Noteholders, and the Required Consenting RCF Lenders (as defined in the Restructuring Support Agreement) solely with respect to the Adequate Protection Obligations, as applicable).

e. Except as may be provided in the DIP Term Sheet or the DIP Documents, the Debtors are authorized and directed, upon the closing of a sale of any of the DIP Collateral that does not constitute Prepetition Collateral (other than sales in the ordinary course of business), to immediately pay all proceeds of any such sale to (x) the Prepetition Secured Parties to satisfy the Adequate Protection Obligations and the Adequate Protection Claims, if any, until indefeasibly Paid in Full, and (y) then, thereafter, to the DIP Lender to satisfy the DIP Obligations in accordance with this Final Order, the DIP Term Sheet, and the DIP Documents until Paid in Full; and any order approving the sale of such DIP Collateral shall provide that the sale is conditioned upon the payment of such Adequate Protection Claims, other Adequate Protection Obligations, and the DIP Claims (except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by the DIP Lender and the Required Consenting Noteholders, as applicable).

6. Turnover Provision with respect to Collateral. With respect to any DIP Collateral and any proceeds thereof (other than the DIP Loan Proceeds), until the Prepetition Secured Obligations are indefeasibly Paid in Full, or the Prepetition Secured Parties have

29

otherwise agreed in writing, the DIP Lender may not accept or receive any such DIP Collateral and any proceeds thereof, in satisfaction, in whole or in part, of the DIP Obligations, as the case may be. Any such DIP Collateral or the proceeds thereof so received by the DIP Lender shall be segregated and deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of the Prepetition Secured Parties and/or holders of Permitted Prior Liens and promptly turned over to the applicable Prepetition Secured Lenders and/or holders of Permitted Prior Liens, as applicable, to be applied in accordance with this Final Order, the Prepetition Debt Documents and/or as otherwise required by law, in the same form as received, with any necessary endorsements. Upon the turnover of such DIP Collateral or any proceeds thereof as contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence, the DIP Obligations purported to be satisfied by the payment of such DIP Collateral or the proceeds thereof shall be immediately reinstated in full as though such payment had never occurred. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Final Order, the DIP Term Sheet or the DIP Documents to the contrary, the Debtors, may seek Court authority to incur replacement junior postpetition financing, provided that (i) without the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders and the reasonable consent of the Threshold Consenting RCF Lenders, the terms and conditions shall be no worse to the Prepetition Secured Parties than those of the DIP Facility (it being understood that for the purposes of the foregoing, any such junior postpetition financing that does not convert to equity on the effective of the Prepackaged Plan on the same terms and conditions as the DIP Facility shall be deemed worse to the Prepetition Secured Parties) and (ii) the proceeds of such replacement junior postpetition financing shall be sufficient to satisfy all the DIP Obligations and shall be applied to the satisfaction of all DIP Obligations until all DIP Obligations are Paid in Full pursuant to the DIP Term Sheet.

7. Approved Budget. The DIP Loan Parties shall update the Approved Budget as necessary but shall not update the Approved Budget less frequently than once every two weeks (each, a “Proposed Budget”). Upon the DIP Loan Parties’ receipt of the DIP Lender’s approval (in its sole and exclusive discretion) of a Proposed Budget, such budget shall become an “Approved Budget” and shall replace the then-operative Approved Budget for all

30

purposes. The Approved Budget attached hereto as Schedule 1 shall be the Approved Budget until such time as a new Proposed Budget is approved, following which such Proposed Budget shall constitute the Approved Budget until a subsequent Proposed Budget is approved. The Debtors shall operate in accordance with the Approved Budget and all disbursements shall be consistent with the provisions of the Approved Budget (subject to the Permitted Variances). The Debtors may submit additional Proposed Budgets to the DIP Lender, but until the DIP Lender approves such Proposed Budget, it shall not become an Approved Budget and the Debtors shall continue to comply with the then-operative Approved Budget. The DIP Lender’s failure to respond to any submitted Proposed Budget shall not be deemed to be the DIP Lender’s approval of the same. Copies of all Proposed Budgets shall be provided to the Ad Hoc Group and the Consenting RCF Lenders contemporaneously with such Proposed Budget being provided to the DIP Lender. Copies of any Approved Budget shall be provided to the Ad Hoc Group and the Consenting RCF Lenders upon such budget becoming an Approved Budget. The Required Consenting Noteholders and the Threshold Consenting RCF Lenders reserve the right to seek relief from the Court in the event the Required Consenting Noteholders and the Threshold Consenting RCF Lenders determine in their reasonable discretion that they have objections to the use of Cash Collateral in any Proposed Budget and, in the event of any such objection, upon the DIP Lender’s approval, a Proposed Budget shall be an Approved Budget until the Court issues an order otherwise with respect to such objection.

8. Adequate Protection.

a. Subject only to the Carve Out and the terms of this Final Order, pursuant to sections 361, 362, 363(e), and 364 of the Bankruptcy Code and in consideration of the Stipulations and consents set forth herein, as adequate protection of their liens and interests in the Prepetition Collateral (including Cash Collateral), for any aggregate Diminution in Value resulting from the Carve Out, the sale, lease, or use of the Prepetition Collateral (including Cash Collateral), the imposition of the automatic stay pursuant to section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, and any other reason for which adequate protection may be granted under the Bankruptcy Code,

31

the Prepetition Secured Parties are hereby granted the following (collectively, the “Adequate Protection Obligations”):

32

33

b. Right to Seek Additional Adequate Protection. This Final Order is without prejudice to, and does not constitute a waiver of, expressly or implicitly, the rights of the Prepetition Secured Parties to request additional forms of adequate protection at any time or any party in interest’s right to object thereto.

34

c. Adequate Protection Reservation of Rights of Prepetition Secured Parties. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the grant of adequate protection to the Prepetition Secured Parties pursuant to this Final Order shall not be deemed an admission that the interests of such Prepetition Secured Parties are indeed adequately protected, and is without prejudice to the right of the Prepetition Secured Parties to seek additional relief with respect to the use of Prepetition Collateral (including Cash Collateral), or to seek modification of the grant of adequate protection provided hereby so as to provide different or additional adequate protection, and without prejudice to the right of the Debtors or any other party in interest to contest any such modification. Nothing herein shall be deemed to waive, modify or otherwise impair the respective rights of the Prepetition Secured Parties under the Prepetition Debt Documents or under applicable law, and the Prepetition Secured Parties expressly reserve all of their respective rights and remedies whether now existing or hereafter arising under the Prepetition Debt Documents and applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, and subject only to the Carve Out, nothing contained in this Final Order shall impair or modify the application of section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code in the event that the adequate protection provided hereunder is insufficient to compensate the Prepetition Secured Parties for any Diminution in Value during the Chapter 11 Cases.

9. Fees and Expenses; Payments.

a. The payment of all Adequate Protection Fees and Expenses and any DIP Professional Fees and Expenses hereunder shall not be subject to further application to or approval of the Court, and shall not be subject to allowance or review by the Court or subject to the fee guidelines of the Office of the United States Trustee (the “U.S. Trustee”), and no attorney or advisor to the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties shall be required to file an application seeking compensation for services or reimbursement of expenses with the Court; provided, however, that any time such professionals seek payment of fees and expenses from the Debtors from and after the Petition Date but prior to the effective date of any chapter 11 plan, each such professional shall provide summary copies of its invoices (which shall not be required

35

to contain time entries and which may be redacted or modified to the extent necessary to delete any information subject to the attorney-client privilege, any information constituting attorney work product, or any other confidential information, and the provision of their invoices shall not constitute any waiver of the attorney-client privilege or of any benefits of the attorney work product doctrine) to lead restructuring counsel to the Debtors, the U.S. Trustee, and any Committee, if any (collectively, the “Review Parties”). Any objections raised by any Review Party with respect to such invoices must be in writing and state with particularity the grounds therefor and must be submitted to the affected professional within ten (10) calendar days after delivery of such invoices to the Review Parties (such ten (10) day calendar period, the “Review Period”). If no written objection is received prior to the expiration of the Review Period from the Review Parties, the Debtors shall pay such invoices within two (2) Business Days following the expiration of the Review Period. If an objection is received within the Review Period from the Review Parties, the Debtors shall promptly pay the undisputed amount of the invoice, and the disputed portion of such invoice shall not be paid until such dispute is resolved by agreement between the affected professional and the objecting party or by order of this Court. Any hearing to consider such an objection to the payment of any fees, costs or expenses set forth in a professional fee invoice hereunder shall be limited to the reasonableness of the fees, costs and expenses that are the subject of such objection.

b. Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph to the contrary, unless otherwise agreed to by the DIP Loan Parties and the relevant professional, (i) the DIP Loan Parties shall be authorized to pay in full in cash the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the professionals for the DIP Lender arising on or before the Petition Date, (ii) upon the Closing Date (as defined in the DIP Term Sheet), the DIP Loan Parties shall be authorized to pay in full in cash the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the professionals for the DIP Lender arising from the Petition Date through and including the Closing Date, in each case, without the need for any professional engaged by or on behalf of the DIP Lender to first deliver a copy of their invoices to any of the Review Parties (other than the

36

DIP Loan Parties), and (iii) following the Closing Date, the DIP Loan Parties shall be authorized to pay in full in cash the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the professionals for the DIP Lender incurred after the Closing Date (collectively, the “DIP Professional Fees and Expenses”).

c. Notwithstanding anything contained in this paragraph 10 to the contrary, to the extent any chapter 11 plan filed in these Chapter 11 Cases and confirmed by an order of this Court provides for different procedures for the submission of invoices and payment of professional fees of any professional persons that the Debtors are authorized to pay pursuant to this Final Order, then the procedures set forth in such confirmed chapter 11 plan shall control, provided that no such professional person shall be subject to more onerous procedures for compensation than are set forth herein.

d. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Final Order to the contrary, any and all payments, fees, costs, expenses and other amounts paid at any time by any of the DIP Loan Parties to the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties, as applicable, pursuant to the requirements of this Final Order or the DIP Documents, whether prior to, on or after the Petition Date, shall be non-refundable and irrevocable, are hereby approved (and to the extent paid prior to entry of this Final Order, ratified in full), and shall not be subject to any challenge, objection, defense, claim or cause of action of any kind or nature whatsoever, including, without limitation, avoidance (whether under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or under applicable law (including any applicable state law Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law)), reduction, setoff, offset, recoupment, recharacterization, subordination (whether equitable, contractual, or otherwise), reclassification, disgorgement, disallowance, impairment, marshaling, surcharge or recovery or any other cause of action, whether arising under the Bankruptcy Code, applicable non-bankruptcy law or otherwise, by any person or entity.

10. Reservation of Rights. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the DIP Documents, the entry of this Final Order is without prejudice to, and does not

37

constitute a waiver of, expressly or implicitly: (a) the rights of the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties to seek any other or supplemental relief in respect of the DIP Loan Parties, (b) the rights of the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties under the DIP Documents or the Prepetition Debt Documents, the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, including, without limitation, the right to request modification of the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (c) any other rights, claims, or privileges (whether legal, equitable or otherwise) of the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties.

11. Modification of Automatic Stay. The automatic stay imposed by section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code is hereby vacated and modified, without application to or further order of this Court, to permit: (a) the DIP Loan Parties to grant the DIP Liens and the DIP Superpriority Claims, and to perform such acts as the DIP Lender may request to assure the perfection and priority of the DIP Liens, (b) the DIP Loan Parties to incur all liabilities and obligations to the DIP Lender as contemplated under this Final Order and the DIP Documents, (c) the Debtors to grant the Adequate Protection Liens and Adequate Protection Claims and other Adequate Protection Obligations, and to perform such acts as the Prepetition Secured Parties may request to assure the perfection and priority of the Adequate Protection Claims, (d) the DIP Loan Parties to incur all liabilities and obligations to the Prepetition Secured Parties, including all Adequate Protection Claims and other Adequate Protection Obligations, as contemplated under this Final Order and the DIP Documents, (e) the DIP Loan Parties to pay all amounts required hereunder and under the DIP Documents, (f) the DIP Lender and the Prepetition Secured Parties to retain and apply payments made in accordance with the terms of this Final Order and the DIP Documents, (g) subject in all respects to paragraph 16 of this Final Order, the DIP Lender and the Prepetition Secured Parties to exercise, upon the occurrence of any Termination Event (as defined below), all rights and remedies provided for in this Final Order, the DIP Documents, or applicable law, (h) the DIP Loan Parties to perform under this Final Order and the DIP Documents, and to take any and all other actions that may be necessary, required or desirable for the performance by the DIP Loan Parties under this Final Order and the

38

12. Perfection of DIP Liens and Adequate Protection Liens.

a. This Final Order shall be sufficient and conclusive evidence of the attachment, validity, perfection, and priority of all liens and security interests granted hereunder and under the DIP Documents, including, without limitation, the DIP Liens and the Adequate Protection Liens, without the necessity of the execution, recordation or filing of any pledge, collateral or security agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, lockbox or control agreements, financing statements, notations of certificates of title for titled goods, or any other document or instrument, or the taking of any other action (including, without limitation, entering into any deposit account control agreement or other act to take possession or control of any DIP Collateral), to attach, validate, perfect or prioritize such liens and security interests, or to entitle the DIP Lender and the Prepetition Secured Parties to the priorities granted herein (other than, to the extent applicable, any such filings required under applicable non-U.S. law to attach, validate, perfect or prioritize such liens).

b. Without in any way limiting the automatically effective perfection of the liens and security interests granted under this Final Order and the DIP Documents, the DIP Lender and the Prepetition Secured Parties, respectively, are hereby authorized, but not required, as they in their sole discretion may determine for any reason, to execute, file and record (and to execute in the name of the DIP Loan Parties, as their true and lawful attorneys, with full power of submission, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law) financing statements, trademark filings, copyright filings, mortgages, notices of lien or similar instruments in any jurisdiction, or take possession or control over cash or securities, or to amend or modify security documents, or to subordinate existing liens and any other similar action or action in connection therewith or take any other action in order to validate, perfect, preserve and enforce the liens and security interests granted to them hereunder or under the DIP Documents or to otherwise

39

evidence such liens and security interests in all DIP Collateral (each, a “Perfection Action”); provided, however, that, whether or not the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties determine, in their sole discretion, to take any Perfection Action with respect to any liens or security interests granted hereunder, such liens and security interests shall nonetheless be deemed valid, perfected, allowed, enforceable, and non-avoidable as of the entry of this Final Order. The DIP Loan Parties, without any further consent of any party, are authorized and directed to take, execute, deliver and file such instruments (in each case, without representation or warranty of any kind) to enable the DIP Lender and/or the Prepetition Secured Parties to further validate, perfect, preserve and enforce the DIP Liens and the Adequate Protection Claims. All such documents will be deemed to have been recorded and filed as of the Petition Date.

c. A certified copy of this Final Order may, as the DIP Lender or Prepetition Secured Parties, as applicable, may determine in their discretion, be filed with or recorded in filing or recording offices in addition to or in lieu of any financing statements, trademark filings, copyright filings, mortgages, notices of lien or similar instruments, and all filing offices are hereby authorized and directed to accept such certified copy of this Final Order for filing and/or recording, as applicable. The automatic stay of section 362(a) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be modified to the extent necessary to permit the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties to take all actions, as applicable, referenced in this paragraph.

13. Maintenance of DIP Collateral. Until such time as all DIP Obligations are Paid in Full (or as otherwise agreed in writing by the DIP Lender), the DIP Loan Parties shall continue to maintain all property, operational, and other insurance as required and as specified in the DIP Documents. The DIP Lender, for the benefit of itself or any of its assigns, shall automatically be deemed to be named as additional insured and lender loss payee under each insurance policy maintained by the DIP Loan Parties (including all property damage and business interruption insurance policies of the DIP Loan Parties, whether expired, currently in place, or to be put in place in the future), and shall act in that capacity and distribute any

40

proceeds recovered or received in respect of any such insurance policies in accordance with the terms of this Final Order and the DIP Documents.

14. Reporting. Without limiting the requirements contained herein or in the DIP Documents, the DIP Loan Parties and their representatives shall (a) provide the DIP Lender, the Ad Hoc Group and the Prepetition RCF Lenders with (i) all reports, documents, and information required to be delivered under the DIP Documents (including, but not limited to, Variance Reports (as defined in the DIP Term Sheet)), pleadings or motion to be filed on behalf of any Debtor in these Chapter 11 Cases at least three (3) days prior to such filing (or, if not practicable, as soon as reasonably practicable)), and (ii) reasonable access, upon reasonable notice and during regular business hours, to the DIP Loan Parties’ books and records, assets and properties, for purposes of monitoring the DIP Loan Parties’ businesses and operations and the value of the DIP Collateral and the Prepetition Collateral, and (b) cooperate and consult with, and provide information reasonably requested by the DIP Lender, the Ad Hoc Group, and the Prepetition RCF Lenders (and their respective advisors) concerning the Debtors’ businesses, financial condition, properties, business operations and assets, and the Debtors hereby authorize their representatives to cooperate and consult with, and promptly provide to the such parties (in each case, together with their respective advisors) such information. All such reporting shall be in form and with sufficient detail as is acceptable to the DIP Lender in its sole discretion.

15. Termination Event; Exercise of Remedies.

a. Termination Event. The occurrence of any of the following shall constitute a “Termination Event” under this Final Order (each a “Termination Event”): (i) the occurrence of sixty (60) calendar days after the Petition Date (the “Outside Date”); provided, that the Outside Date will be automatically extended by up to an additional sixty (60) calendar days if the regulatory approvals necessary to consummate the Prepackaged Plan have not yet been obtained by the Debtors and all other conditions to the occurrence of the effective date of the Prepackaged Plan have been satisfied or waived other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied on the effective date of the Prepackaged Plan; provided, further Outside Date

41

may be further extended pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement; (ii) the first business day on which the Final Order expires by its terms or is terminated; (iii) the Debtors’ failure to comply in any material respect with the provisions of this Final Order, (iv) the conversion of any of these Chapter 11 Cases to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code; (v) the dismissal of any of these Chapter 11 Cases; (vi) termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement by any of (x) the Debtors, (y) the Required Consenting Noteholders, and (z) the DIP Lender; (vii) with respect to the Prepetition 2025 Noteholders and Prepetition 2028 Noteholders, except as otherwise agreed by the Required Consenting Noteholders in writing, (x) the Bankruptcy Court enters an order in favor of any Committee, any ad hoc committee, or any other party in interest granting standing to pursue any claims against the Prepetition 2025 Notes Secured Parties or the Prepetition 2028 Notes Secured Parties, (y) an objection to any of the claims of any such party is sustained, or (z) any lien held by any such party is avoided, subordinated, or disallowed; and (viii) the occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined in the DIP Term Sheet) unless waived in writing (including by email) by the DIP Lender.

b. Remedies Upon a Termination Event. The Debtors shall immediately provide notice to the DIP Lenders and the Prepetition Secured Parties of the occurrence of a Termination Event.

42

43

44

45

46

c. Cooperation. The DIP Loan Parties shall cooperate with the DIP Lender and the applicable Prepetition Secured Parties, and the DIP Lender and the applicable Prepetition Secured Parties shall cooperate with each other, in their efforts to enforce their respective liens and security interests in the DIP Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral, as

47

applicable, and (other than the right to contest whether a Termination Event has occurred and is continuing) the DIP Loan Parties shall not take or direct any entity to take any action designed or intended to hinder or restrict in any respect such party from enforcing its rights or remedies in the DIP Collateral or the Prepetition Collateral, as applicable, in a manner inconsistent with the terms of this Final Order.

16. No Waiver by Failure to Seek Relief. The rights and remedies of the DIP Lender and the Prepetition Secured Parties specified herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties may have under this Final Order, the DIP Documents, the Prepetition Debt Documents, applicable law or otherwise. The failure or delay on the part of any of the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties to seek relief or otherwise exercise their rights and remedies under this Final Order, the DIP Documents, the Prepetition Debt Documents or applicable law, as the case may be, shall not constitute a waiver of any of their respective rights hereunder, thereunder or otherwise. Except as expressly set forth herein, none of the rights or remedies of the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties under this Final Order, the DIP Documents and the Prepetition Debt Documents shall be deemed to have been amended, modified, suspended, or waived unless such amendment, modification, suspension, or waiver is express, in writing and signed by the requisite parties under the DIP Documents and the requisite parties under the Prepetition Debt Documents, as applicable. No consents required hereunder by any of the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties shall be implied by any inaction or acquiescence by any of the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties (as applicable).

17. Carve Out.

a. Priority of Carve Out. Each of the DIP Liens, the DIP Superpriority Claims, the Prepetition Secured Liens, and the Adequate Protection Claims, shall be subject and subordinate to payment of the Carve Out. The Carve Out shall be senior to all claims and liens over all assets of the Debtors, including any DIP Collateral and Prepetition Collateral, as set forth in this Final Order. For the avoidance of doubt, after the occurrence of the

48

DIP Termination Notice and the date upon which the DIP Obligations are Paid in Full, the Carve Out shall remain in effect as to the Prepetition Obligations and the Adequate Protection Claims, and the Debtors shall be permitted and required to continue to fund amounts in relation to the Carve Out in accordance with the terms of this Final Order.

b. Carve Out. As used in this Final Order, the term “Carve Out” means the sum of (i) all unpaid fees required to be paid to the Clerk of the Court and to the U.S. Trustee under 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a) plus interest at the statutory rate pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 3717, (ii) all unpaid reasonable fees and expenses up to $50,000 incurred by a trustee under section 726(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (without regard to the Carve-Out Notice (as defined below)), (iii) to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order, final order, or other order, all accrued but unpaid fees and expenses (excluding any restructuring, sale, success, or other transaction fee of any investment bankers or financial advisors) (the “Allowed Professional Fees”) incurred by persons or firms retained by the Debtors pursuant to section 327, 328, or 363 of the Bankruptcy Code and any Committee (the “Estate Professionals”) at any time on or before the date of delivery by the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties, as applicable, of a Carve Out Notice (as defined below), whether allowed by the Court prior to or after delivery of a Carve Out Notice up to the amounts for the Estate Professionals included in the Approved Budget through the date of the Carve-Out Notice (the amounts set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii), the “Pre-Carve Out Notice Amount”); provided that the Pre-Carve Out Notice Amount shall only include up to $25,000 for the Investigation Expenses (as defined below) and (iv) Allowed Professional Fees of the Estate Professionals incurred after the date of delivery by the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties, as applicable, of the Carve Out Notice, to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order, final order, or other court order, in an aggregate amount not to exceed $500,000 (the amount set forth in this clause (iv) being the “Post-Carve Out Notice Cap”). For purposes of this Final Order, the “Carve Out Notice” shall mean a written notice (which may be via electronic mail) delivered by the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties, as applicable, to the Debtors and their counsel, the U. S. Trustee,

49

counsel to the Ad Hoc Group (as applicable), counsel to the DIP Lender (as applicable), and counsel to the any Committee stating that the Post Carve-Out Notice Cap has been invoked. Such Carve Out Notice may be delivered following the occurrence and during the continuation of a Termination Event.

c. Post-Carve Out Notice. On the date on which a Carve Out Notice is delivered in accordance with this paragraph 18 of this Final Order, (the “Carve Out Trigger Date”), the Debtors shall utilize all cash on hand (including the DIP Loan Proceeds) to fund a reserve in an amount equal to the Carve-Out, which shall be earmarked and held in trust to pay unpaid fees and expenses incurred by Estate Professionals, to the extent allowed by the Court at any time, prior to any and all other claims in the Chapter 11 Cases (the “Carve-Out Reserve”). All funds in the Carve-Out Reserve shall be used first to pay the obligations set forth in clauses (i)-(iv) in the above definition of “Carve-Out” until paid in full, and second, to pay the Prepetition Secured Parties, and third, to pay the DIP Lender until paid in full. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Final Order or the DIP Documents, the failure of the Carve-Out Reserve to satisfy in full the fees of Estate Professionals shall not affect the priority of the Carve-Out.

d. Payment of Carve Out on or After the Carve Out Trigger Date. Any payment or reimbursement made on or after the occurrence of the Carve Out Trigger Date in respect of any Allowed Professional Fees incurred after the occurrence of the Carve Out Trigger Date shall permanently reduce the Carve Out Amount on a dollar-for-dollar basis.

e. No Direct Obligation to Pay Allowed Professional Fees. None of the DIP Lender nor the Prepetition Secured Parties shall be responsible for the payment or reimbursement of any fees or disbursements of any Professional Person incurred in connection with these Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases under any chapter of the Bankruptcy Code, regardless of whether such fees or expenses have been allowed by the Court. Nothing in this Final Order or otherwise shall be construed to obligate the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties, in any way, to pay compensation to, or to reimburse expenses of, any Estate

50

Professionals or to guarantee that the Debtors have sufficient funds to pay such compensation or reimbursement.

18. Effect of the Debtors’ Stipulations on Third Parties.

a. The Stipulations, admission, agreements and releases contained in this Final Order shall be binding upon the Debtors, their estates and any successor thereto in all circumstances and for all purposes immediately upon entry of this Final Order.

b. The Stipulations in this Final Order shall also be binding upon all parties-in-interest, including, without limitation, any Committee appointed or formed in these Chapter 11 Cases, and any other person or entity seeking to act on behalf of the Debtors’ estates, including any chapter 7 or chapter 11 trustee or examiner appointed or elected for any of the Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases, and each of their respective successors and assigns, in all circumstances and for all purposes, unless (i) any Committee or such other party-in-interest, having obtained requisite standing, timely and properly commences and serves an adversary proceeding or contested matter (subject to the limitations contained herein) (each, a “Challenge Proceeding”) by no later than the Challenge Deadline (as defined below), (A) objecting to or alleging any basis to impair, restrict, deny or otherwise challenge the right of any of the Prepetition Secured Parties to credit bid, in whole or in part, the Prepetition Secured Liens or the Prepetition Secured Obligations under section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, (B) objecting to or challenging the amount, validity, perfection, enforceability, priority, scope or extent of the Prepetition Secured Liens, Prepetition Secured Obligations, the Prepetition Collateral or the Prepetition Debt Documents, or otherwise objecting to or challenging any of the admissions, stipulations, findings or releases included in the Stipulations, including, without limitation, asserting or prosecuting any claim or cause of action of any kind or nature whatsoever, including without limitation, any claim or cause of action seeking reduction, setoff, offset, recoupment, avoidance (whether under Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or under applicable law (including any applicable state law Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common

51

law)), recharacterization, subordination (whether equitable, contractual or otherwise), reclassification, disgorgement, disallowance, impairment, marshalling, surcharge or recovery, whether under the Bankruptcy Code, applicable non-bankruptcy law or otherwise, with respect to the Prepetition Secured Obligations, the Prepetition Secured Liens, the Prepetition Collateral or the Prepetition Debt Documents, (C) asserting or prosecuting any so-called “lender liability” claims, avoidance actions or any other claim, counter claim, cause of action, objection, contest or defense, of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether arising under the Bankruptcy Code, applicable law or otherwise, against any of the Prepetition Secured Parties or their Representatives (sub-clauses (A)-(C), collectively, the “Challenges”, and each, a “Challenge”), and (ii) an order is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction and becomes final and non-appealable in favor of the plaintiff sustaining any Challenge in such duly filed adversary proceeding.

c. If no such Challenge Proceeding is timely and properly filed by the Challenge Deadline, or if the Court does not rule in favor of plaintiff in any such timely and properly filed Challenge Proceeding, then, without application to or further order of the Court, (i) each of the admissions, stipulations, findings and releases contained in the Stipulations shall be binding on all parties-in-interest, including, without limitation, any Official Committee, any statutory or non-statutory committees appointed or formed in these Chapter 11 Cases, or any other party-in-interest (including, without limitation, any chapter 7 trustee or chapter 11 trustee or examiner appointed or elected for any of the Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases), (ii) the Prepetition Secured Obligations shall constitute allowed claims against each of the Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases and any Successor Cases, and the Prepetition Secured Liens shall forever be deemed to be legal, valid, binding, continuing, perfected and enforceable, as of the Petition Date, against each of the Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases and any Successor Cases, (iii) the Prepetition Secured Obligations and the Prepetition Secured Liens shall not be subject to any other or further contest, cause of action, attack, objection, challenge, defense, claim, counterclaim, reduction, setoff, offset, recoupment, avoidance (whether under

52

Chapter 5 of the Bankruptcy Code or under applicable law (including any applicable state law Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law)), recharacterization, subordination (whether equitable, contractual or otherwise), reclassification, disgorgement, disallowance, impairment, marshalling, surcharge or recovery or any other Challenge, of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether under the Bankruptcy Code, applicable non-bankruptcy law or otherwise, by any person or entity, and (iv) any and all claims, counter claims, cross claims, causes of action, or other Challenges, of any kind or nature whatsoever, whether under the Bankruptcy Code, applicable non-bankruptcy law or otherwise, against any of the Prepetition Secured Parties or any of their Representatives (in their capacities as such) shall be deemed forever waived, released and barred.

d. If any such Challenge Proceeding is timely filed by a party with requisite standing prior to the Challenge Deadline, the Stipulations shall nonetheless remain binding and preclusive on any Committee, any non-statutory committees appointed or formed in these Chapter 11 Cases, or any other party-in-interest (including, without limitation, any chapter 7 trustee or chapter 11 trustee or examiner appointed or elected for any of the Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases), except to the extent that any of the admissions, stipulations, findings or releases contained in the Stipulations were expressly challenged in such Challenge Proceeding (and solely as to the plaintiff party with requisite standing that timely filed such Challenge Proceeding and not, for the avoidance of doubt, any other party-in-interest); provided that, if and to the extent any Challenges to a particular stipulation or admission are withdrawn, denied, or overruled, such stipulation also shall be binding on the Debtors’ estates and all parties in interest.

e. For purposes of this Final Order, the “Challenge Deadline” means the date that is (i) in the case of any Committee, the earlier of (a) 60 days from the entry of the Interim Order or (b) the date upon which the confirmation order is entered, with such 60-day period subject to extension by agreement of the Committee and the DIP Lender, the Required Consenting Prepetition Noteholders, and/or the Prepetition RCF Lenders and other third parties,

53

as the case may be, or by order of the Court; provided that if the confirmation order is not entered within 60 days from the Petition Date, the Committee shall have 60 days from formation; (ii) in the case that a chapter 7 or chapter 11 trustee is appointed or elected within 60 days after the Petition Date (including following a conversion of these Chapter 11 Cases to cases under chapter 7) the earlier of (a) 60 days from the Petition Date or 30 days from the appointment of such chapter 7 or chapter 11 trustee, or (b) the date upon which the confirmation order is entered; (iii) in the case of any other party in interest (including a chapter 7 or chapter 11 trustee appointed or elected more than 60 days after the Petition Date), the earlier of (a) 60 days of the Petition Date, or (b) the date upon which the confirmation order is entered (the time period established by clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this paragraph 19(e), the “Challenge Period”).

f. Nothing in this Final Order vests or confers on any person or entity, including any Committee or any statutory or non-statutory committee appointed or formed in these Chapter 11 Cases, or any other party-in-interest standing or authority to pursue any Challenge belonging to the Debtors or their estates, and all rights to object to any request for such standing are expressly reserved.

19. Limitations on Use of DIP Collateral, Cash Collateral, Carve Out or Other Funds. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Final Order or any other order of the Court to the contrary, no DIP Collateral, Prepetition Collateral, DIP Facility Loans, Cash Collateral, proceeds of any of the foregoing, or any portion of the Carve Out may be used (including to pay professional fees) by any of the DIP Loan Parties, any Committee or non-statutory committees appointed or formed in these Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases, or any other party-in-interest (including without limitation any chapter 7 trustee or chapter 11 trustee or examiner appointed or elected for any of the Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases), directly or indirectly, to:

54

55

provided, however, that no more than an aggregate amount of $25,000 of the DIP Collateral, DIP Facility Loans, Prepetition Collateral, Cash Collateral, proceeds of any of the foregoing, any portion of the Carve Out or any other funds may be used by any Committee during the Challenge Period to investigate (but not to prosecute, litigate, commence or support any Challenge, or prepare any complaint or motion in respect of any Challenge, including by way of discovery), the Stipulations (the “Investigation Expenses”).

20. Limitation on Charging Expenses. Except to the extent of the Carve Out, no costs or expenses of administration of these Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases (or any future proceedings that may result therefrom) at any time, including, without limitation, any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preservation, protection, or enhancement of realization by the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties of the DIP Collateral or Prepetition Collateral, as applicable, shall be charged against or recovered from the DIP Collateral or Prepetition Collateral, as applicable, whether pursuant to section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or other similar legal or equitable doctrine or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the DIP Lender, the Required Consenting Prepetition Noteholders, and/or the reasonable consent of the Prepetition RCF Lenders, as applicable, and no such consent shall be implied, directly or indirectly, from any other action, inaction, or acquiescence, by the DIP

56

Lender, the Required Consenting Noteholders, and/or the Prepetition RCF Lenders, as applicable. The Debtors shall irrevocably waive and shall be prohibited from asserting any claim described in this paragraph, under section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, for any costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preservation, protection or enhancement of, or realization by the DIP Lender, the Prepetition Noteholders, and/or the Prepetition RCF Lenders, as applicable, upon the DIP Collateral or Prepetition Collateral as applicable.

21. No Marshaling; Section 552(b) Waiver. The DIP Lender and/or Prepetition Secured Parties, as applicable may exercise all remedies available under this (i) DIP Term Sheet, (ii) DIP Loan Documents, (iii) Prepetition 2025 Notes, (iv) Prepetition 2028 Notes, and (v) Prepetition RCF, as applicable, without any requirement first to look to exercise any of its or their rights against any particular collateral or party or to exhaust any remedies available to it or the against any particular collateral or party or to resort to any other source or means of obtaining payment of any of such obligations or to elect any other remedy, but subject in all respects to the terms of this Final Order (including, but not limited to paragraphs 7 and 16 hereof and the lien and claim priorities set forth herein). In no event shall any of the DIP Lender or the Prepetition Secured Parties, as applicable be subject to the equitable doctrine of “marshaling” or any other similar doctrine with respect to the DIP Collateral, the DIP Obligations, the Adequate Protection Collateral, the Adequate Protection Obligations, the Prepetition Collateral, or the Prepetition Secured Obligations, and all proceeds of DIP Collateral and/or Prepetition Collateral, shall be received and applied in accordance with the terms of this Final Order (including, but not limited to, paragraphs 7 and 16 hereof and the lien and claim priorities set forth herein) and the Prepetition Debt Documents, as applicable. In no event shall the “equities of the case” exception in section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code apply to the secured claims of the Prepetition Secured Parties.

22. The Debtors and their estates shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived and have agreed not to assert any claim or right under sections 552 or 726 of the Bankruptcy Code to avoid the imposition of the liens of the DIP Lender and/or the Prepetition Secured

57

Parties on any property acquired by any of the Debtors or any of their estates or to seek to surcharge any costs or expenses incurred in connection with the preservation, protection or enhancement of, or realization by, the DIP Lender and/or the Prepetition Secured Parties upon the DIP Collateral and/or the Prepetition Collateral.

58

successors and assigns; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, the DIP Lender and the Prepetition Secured Parties shall have no obligation to make any loan, permit the use of DIP Collateral or Prepetition Collateral (including Cash Collateral) or extend any financing to any chapter 11 trustee or chapter 7 trustee or similar responsible person appointed for the estate of any Debtor in these Chapter 11 Cases or any Successor Cases.
