Attention: Mr. Stephen Jones

Sir:

Reference is hereby made to the Debtors’ Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization attached as Exhibit A hereto (as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time with the prior written consent of the Requisite Commitment Parties (as defined below), the “Plan”), which sets forth the terms of a proposed restructuring (the “Restructuring”) for Allied Nevada Gold Corp., a Delaware corporation (as in existence on the date hereof, as a debtor-in-possession in the Chapter 11 Cases (as defined below) and as a reorganized debtor, as applicable, the “Company”), and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (each as in existence on the date hereof, as a debtor-in-possession in the Chapter 11 Cases and as a reorganized debtor, as applicable, together with the Company, the “Debtors”), filed by the Debtors in connection with voluntary filings (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Capitalized terms used in this letter agreement (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof and including all of the exhibits attached hereto (such exhibits being incorporated herein by reference in their entirety), this “Commitment Letter”) and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that for purposes of determining the meanings of such capitalized terms, reference shall only be made to the Plan in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A and any amendments, supplements or modifications thereto shall be disregarded for purposes of determining such definitions unless approved in writing by the Requisite Commitment Parties).

Each of the undersigned (together with its successors and permitted assigns, a “Commitment Party” and, collectively, the “Commitment Parties”) hereby commits, severally (and not jointly nor jointly and severally), to purchase from the Company on the Effective Date second lien convertible notes (as more fully described in Exhibit B, the “New Second Lien Convertible Notes”) on the terms, and subject to the conditions, set forth in this Commitment Letter in an aggregate amount equal to its Commitment Percentage (as defined in Exhibit B) of the Purchase Price (as defined in Exhibit B). The commitment of each Commitment Party to

purchase New Second Lien Convertible Notes set forth in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, this Commitment Letter shall be referred to herein as such Commitment Party’s “Commitment,” and all of the Commitment Parties’ Commitments shall be referred to herein as, collectively, the “Commitments”. Anything in this Commitment Letter to the contrary notwithstanding, any Commitment Party, in its sole discretion, may designate that some or all of the New Second Lien Convertible Notes be issued in the name of, and delivered to, one or more of its Affiliates or Related Funds (as defined below).

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Plan are consummated or any of the other Contemplated Transactions (as defined in Exhibit C) are consummated, the Debtors hereby agree that they shall bear, and be responsible for, all Reimbursed Fees and Expenses (as defined below) and, accordingly, reimburse or pay, as the case may be, the Reimbursed Fees and Expenses as follows: (i) all accrued and unpaid Reimbursed Fees and Expenses incurred up to (and including) the date of entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the Exit Facility Commitment Order (the “Exit Facility Commitment Order Entry Date”) shall be reimbursed or paid in full in cash on the Exit Facility Commitment Order Entry Date, (ii) after the Exit Facility Commitment Order Entry Date, all accrued and unpaid Reimbursed Fees and Expenses shall, subject to the Exit Facility Commitment Order, be reimbursed or paid in full in cash on a regular and continuing basis promptly (but in any event within fifteen (15) calendar days) after invoices are presented to the Debtors without Bankruptcy Court review or further Bankruptcy Court order, (iii) upon termination of this Commitment Letter, all accrued and unpaid Reimbursed Fees and Expenses incurred up to (and including) the date of such termination shall, subject to the Exit Facility Commitment Order, be reimbursed or paid in full in cash promptly (but in any event within fifteen (15) calendar days) after invoices are presented to the Debtors without Bankruptcy Court review or further Bankruptcy Court order and (iv) on the Effective Date, all accrued and unpaid Reimbursed Fees and Expenses incurred up to (and including) the Effective Date shall, subject to the Exit Facility Commitment Order, be paid in full in cash on the Effective Date against receipt of reasonably detailed invoices, without any requirement for Bankruptcy Court review or further Bankruptcy Court order. All Reimbursed Fees and Expenses of a Commitment Party shall be paid to such Commitment Party (or its designee) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) specified by such Commitment Party. All Reimbursed Fees and Expenses shall constitute allowed super-priority administrative expenses against the Debtors’ estates under the Bankruptcy Code. The term “Reimbursed Fees and Expenses” shall mean the reasonable and documented fees, costs and expenses of the Commitment Parties’ Advisors’ in connection with the diligence, negotiation, formulation, preparation, execution, delivery, implementation, consummation and/or enforcement of the Plan, the Commitments, this Commitment Letter, any of the other Transaction Documents (as defined in Exhibit C) and/or any of the Contemplated Transactions, or any amendments, waivers, consents, supplements or other modifications to any of the foregoing. The term “Commitment Parties’ Advisors” shall mean (a) Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, as lead counsel, (b) Young Conaway Stargatt &Taylor LLP, as Delaware local counsel for the Commitment Parties, (c) Goodmans LLP, as Canadian local counsel for the Commitment Parties, (d) one Nevada local counsel for the Commitment Parties (if applicable), and (e) Houlihan Lokey, Inc., as financial advisor to the Commitment Parties; provided, however, that Houlihan Lokey, Inc. shall not be entitled to any additional compensation not

2

authorized pursuant to the Interim Order: (I) Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 361, 362, 363 and 364 Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Obtain Postpetition Financing, (B) Grant Liens and Superpriority Administrative Expense Status, (C) Use Cash Collateral of Prepetition Secured Parties, and (D) Grant Adequate Protection to Prepetition Secured Parties; (II) Scheduling a Final Hearing Pursuant to Bankruptcy Rules 4001(b) and 4001(c); and (III) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 70]; and the Final Order: (I) Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 105, 361, 362, 363 and 364 Authorizing the Debtors to (A) Obtain Postpetition Financing, (B) Grant Liens and Superpriority Administrative Expense Status, (C) Use Cash Collateral of Prepetition Secured Parties, and (D) Grant Adequate Protection to Prepetition Secured Parties; and (II) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 218], each as entered by the Bankruptcy Court. The terms set forth in this paragraph shall survive termination of this Commitment Letter and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Plan are consummated or any of the other Contemplated Transactions are consummated, the Debtors hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Commitment Parties and each of their respective Affiliates, Related Funds, stockholders, equity holders, members, partners, managers, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, consultants, agents, advisors and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several, imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party as a result of or arising out of or in any way related to, directly or indirectly, this Commitment Letter or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Commitments and/or any of the Contemplated Transactions, or any breach by the Debtors of their obligations under this Commitment Letter or any other Transaction Document or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party thereto and whether or not any such claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding is brought by the Debtors or any of their respective Affiliates or other related parties, and to reimburse each such Indemnified Party for the reasonable and documented legal or other out-of-pocket costs and expenses as they are incurred in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any of the foregoing; provided, that the foregoing indemnification will not, as to any Indemnified Party, apply to losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses to the extent they are (a) determined by a final, non-appealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (i) any act by such Indemnified Party that constitutes fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct or (ii) the material breach by such Indemnified Party of its obligations under this Commitment Letter or any other Transaction Document; or (b) incurred in connection with any dispute solely among the Indemnified Parties other than as a result of, or arising from, any act or omission by any of the Debtors or their respective Affiliates. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Debtors shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Debtors, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the Debtors, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Debtors, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Parties, on the other

3

hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (x) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Debtors pursuant to the sale of the New Second Lien Convertible Notes to the Commitment Parties bears to (y) the Put Option Payment (as defined in Exhibit B) paid or proposed to be paid to the Commitment Parties in connection with such sales. The Debtors also agree that no Indemnified Party shall have liability based on its exclusive or contributory negligence or otherwise to the Debtors, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Debtors, or any other Person in connection with or as a result of this Commitment Letter, any other Transaction Document, the Plan or any Contemplated Transaction, except as to any Indemnified Party to the extent that any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred by the Debtors solely resulted from the fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a final, non-appealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. All amounts to be paid or contributed by the Debtors pursuant to this paragraph shall constitute allowed super-priority administrative expenses against the Debtors’ estates under the Bankruptcy Code. The terms set forth in this paragraph shall survive termination of this Commitment Letter and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

The obligation of each Commitment Party to purchase New Second Lien Convertible Notes on the Effective Date pursuant to its Commitment shall be subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Exhibit C, each of which may be waived in writing by the Requisite Commitment Parties.

Unless earlier terminated in accordance with this Commitment Letter, this Commitment Letter and the Commitments contemplated hereby shall terminate automatically and immediately, without a need for any further action on the part of (or notice provided to) any Person, upon the earlier to occur of (a) November 30, 2015 (the “Termination Date”) and (b) the date of termination of the Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement. In addition, the Commitment Parties shall have the right to terminate this Commitment Letter and the Commitments contemplated hereby upon the giving by the Requisite Commitment Parties of three (3) Business Days written notice (a “Termination Notice”) of termination to the Company (i) if the Debtors do not file the Exit Facility Commitment Order Motion (as defined below) (which shall include an executed copy of this Commitment Letter (with redactions reasonably requested by the Requisite Commitment Parties)) with the Bankruptcy Court within one (1) calendar day of the date of this Commitment Letter, (ii) if the Bankruptcy Court does not enter the Exit Facility Commitment Order (consistent with this Commitment Letter and otherwise in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Commitment Parties and the Debtors) on or prior to the date that is forty-five (45) calendar days after the date of this Commitment Letter, (iii) if any of the Debtors shall have breached or failed to perform any of their respective covenants or other obligations contained in this Commitment Letter and any such breach or failure to perform is not curable or able to be performed by the Termination Date, or, if curable or able to be performed by the Termination Date, is not cured or performed within seven (7) calendar days after written notice of such breach or failure is given to the Debtors by the Requisite Commitment Parties, (iv) if any of the conditions precedent set forth in Exhibit C become incapable of fulfillment, (v) if any of the Debtors makes a public announcement, enters into an agreement, or files any pleading or document with the Bankruptcy Court evidencing its

4

intention to support, or otherwise supports, any Alternative Transaction or (vi) if a Creditor Party Termination Event (as defined in the Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement (as in effect on the date of this Commitment Letter)) occurs without giving effect to any waivers of a Creditor Party Termination Event provided under the Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement (all such Creditor Party Termination Events being incorporated herein by reference with full force and effect as if fully set forth herein by applying the provisions thereof mutatis mutandis (such that all changes and modifications to the defined terms and other terminology used in the Creditor Party Termination Events shall be made so that the Creditor Party Termination Events can be applied in a logical manner in this Commitment Letter (it being understood that, for purposes of such application, the Requisite Commitment Parties shall have the same termination rights with respect to the occurrence of a Creditor Party Termination Event as the Requisite Consenting Noteholders (as defined in the Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement (as in effect on the date of this Commitment Letter)) have with respect to the occurrence of a Creditor Party Termination Event pursuant to Section 5(a) of the Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement (as in effect on the date of this Commitment Letter), and the delivery by the Requisite Commitment Parties of a Termination Notice pursuant to this Commitment Letter upon the occurrence of a Creditor Party Termination Event (subject to any applicable cure periods) shall result in the valid termination of this Commitment Letter regardless of any action or inaction taken by the Requisite Consenting Noteholders under the Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement. This Commitment Letter and the Commitments contemplated hereby may be terminated by the written consent of the Debtors and the Requisite Commitment Parties. The Debtors acknowledge and agree and shall not dispute that the giving of a Termination Notice by the Requisite Commitment Parties pursuant to this Commitment Letter shall not be a violation of the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (and the Debtors hereby waive, to the greatest extent possible, the applicability of the automatic stay to the giving of such Termination Notice). As used herein, “Requisite Commitment Parties” means, as of any date of determination, the Commitment Parties whose aggregate Commitment Percentages constitute more than 75% of the aggregate Commitment Percentages of all Commitment Parties as of such date.

The Debtors hereby acknowledge and agree that the Commitment Parties have expended, and will continue to expend, considerable time and expense in connection with this Commitment Letter and the negotiation hereof, and that this Commitment Letter provides substantial value to, is beneficial to, and is necessary to preserve, the Debtors’ estates, and that the Commitment Parties have made a substantial contribution to the Debtors and their estates. If (a) any Debtor enters into an agreement (including, without limitation, any agreement in principle, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or definitive agreement) with respect to any Alternative Transaction, (b) the Bankruptcy Court approves or authorizes any Alternative Transaction with respect to any of the Debtors or (c) any Debtor consummates any Alternative Transaction (any of the events described in clause (a), clause (b) or clause (c) of this paragraph, a “Triggering Event”), in any such case described in clause (a), clause (b) or clause (c) of this paragraph, at any time (x) prior to the termination of this Commitment Letter in accordance with the terms hereof or (y) within twelve (12) months following the termination of this Commitment Letter and the Commitments (including a termination on account of the occurrence of the Termination Date), then the Debtors will pay to the Commitment Parties liquidated damages in cash in the aggregate

5

amount of $3,000,000 (the “Termination Payment”). The Termination Payment (i) shall constitute an allowed super-priority administrative expense claim against each of the Debtors, shall be deemed earned in full on the date of the Triggering Event and shall be paid to the Commitment Parties upon the earlier of the consummation or the effectiveness of an Alternative Transaction (including, without limitation, the effective date of a chapter 11 plan) and the Bankruptcy Court’s approval or authorization of an Alternative Transaction, (ii) shall be paid to the Commitment Parties on a pro rata basis (based on their respective Commitment Percentages) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts designated by the Commitment Parties, (iii) shall be paid without setoff or recoupment and shall not be subject to defense or offset on account of any claim, defense or counterclaim, and (iv) shall be paid free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future applicable taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto (with appropriate gross-up for withholding taxes, if any, such that the relevant Commitment Party receives the amount it would have received if no withholding had been made). The terms set forth in this paragraph shall survive termination of this Commitment Letter and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. The parties acknowledge that the agreements contained in this paragraph are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, are actually necessary to preserve the value of the Debtors’ estates and constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty, and that, without these agreements, the Commitment Parties would not have entered into this Commitment Letter.

Prior to or concurrently with the filing by the Debtors of a motion seeking entry of the Disclosure Statement Order (the “Disclosure Statement Motion”), the Debtors shall file a motion and supporting papers (the “Exit Facility Commitment Order Motion”) seeking the entry of the Exit Facility Commitment Order, pursuant to which the Bankruptcy Court shall approve, among other things, the payment by the Debtors of the Put Option Payment (as defined in Exhibit B), the Termination Payment and the Reimbursed Fees and Expenses on the terms set forth herein, and the indemnification and contribution provisions in favor of the Indemnified Parties set forth herein; provided, that the exhibits to any copy of this Commitment Letter that is filed with the Bankruptcy Court shall, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, be subject to redaction as the Requisite Commitment Parties and the Debtors determine to be reasonably necessary and appropriate (it being understood the Commitment and the Commitment Percentage of each Commitment Party (but not the aggregate Commitments) and the amount of the Put Option Payment that will be paid to each Commitment Party shall be redacted). The Debtors shall (i) use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver of Bankruptcy Rule 6004(h) and request that the Exit Facility Commitment Order be effective immediately upon its entry by the Bankruptcy Court, which Exit Facility Commitment Order shall not be revised, modified or amended by the Confirmation Order (as defined in Exhibit C) or any other further order of the Bankruptcy Court without the consent of the Requisite Commitment Parties, and (ii) fully support the Exit Facility Commitment Order Motion and any application seeking Bankruptcy Court approval and authorization to pay the expenses and other amounts under this Commitment Letter, including the Reimbursed Fees and Expenses, the Put Option Payment and the Termination Payment, as a super-priority administrative expense of the Debtors’ estates. The Debtors may, and shall be permitted to, (x) file the Exit Facility Commitment Order Motion as

6

part of, and include the Exit Facility Commitment Order Motion directly in, the Disclosure Statement Motion or a motion to approve the Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement, which motion shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Commitment Parties (the “RSA Motion”), and (y) seek to have the Exit Facility Commitment Order be part of, and be included directly in, the Disclosure Statement Order or the RSA Order, and, in any such case of clause (x) or clause (y), all provisions of this Commitment Letter that apply to the Exit Facility Commitment Order Motion or the Exit Facility Commitment Order shall be deemed to apply to the Disclosure Statement Motion, the RSA Motion, the Disclosure Statement Order or the RSA Order, as applicable.

Promptly following the date of this Commitment Letter, the Debtors shall, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their employees, officers, directors, accountants, attorneys and other advisors (collectively, “Representatives”) to, provide each of the Commitment Parties and their respective Representatives with reasonable access, upon reasonable prior notice, during normal business hours, and without any material disruption to the conduct of the Debtors’ business, to management and Representatives of the Debtors and to assets, properties, contracts, books, records and any other information concerning the business, operations and other affairs of the Debtors as any of the Commitment Parties or any of their respective Representatives may reasonably request.

Each of the covenants and agreements set forth in Sections 4(a) and 4(b) of the Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement, in each case as in effect on the date of this Commitment Letter (collectively, the “Restructuring Support Agreement Covenants”), is hereby incorporated herein by reference with full force and effect as if fully set forth herein by applying the provisions thereof mutatis mutandis (such that all changes and modifications to the defined terms and other terminology used in the Restructuring Support Agreement Covenants shall be made so that the Restructuring Support Agreement Covenants can be applied in a logical manner in this Commitment Letter (it being understood that, for purposes of such application, the Restructuring Support Agreement Covenants shall apply until this Commitment Letter has been terminated in accordance with its terms, the Requisite Commitment Parties shall have the same consent and approval rights with respect to the Restructuring Support Agreement Covenants (including approval and consent rights included in the defined terms used in the Restructuring Support Covenants) as the Requisite Consenting Noteholders have with respect to the Restructuring Support Agreement Covenants (and no consent or approval provided by the Requisite Consenting Noteholders with respect to any of the Restructuring Support Agreement Covenants shall have any effect on the Restructuring Support Agreement Covenants for purposes of this Commitment Letter), and the obligations of the Debtors with respect to the Consenting Noteholders’ Advisors (as defined in the Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement (as in effect on the date of this Commitment Letter)) set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement Covenants shall apply in the same manner to the Commitment Parties’ Advisors), and the Debtors shall perform, abide by and observe, for the benefit of the Commitment Parties, all of the Restructuring Support Agreement Covenants as incorporated herein and modified hereby and without giving effect to any amendment, modification, supplement, forbearance or termination of or to any such Restructuring Support Agreement Covenants that are made or provided under the terms of the Amended and Restated Restructuring Support Agreement.

7

Promptly following the Exit Facility Commitment Order Entry Date, the Debtors and the Commitment Parties shall negotiate, execute and deliver the Note Purchase Agreement (as defined in Exhibit B).

Each of the terms set forth in this Commitment Letter that follow this paragraph shall survive termination of this Commitment Letter and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated.

This Commitment Letter shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Commitment Letter nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Commitment Letter shall be assigned by any of the parties (whether by operation of law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the other parties. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, any Commitment Party’s rights, obligations or interests hereunder may be freely assigned, delegated or transferred, in whole or in part, by such Commitment Party to (a) any Commitment Party, (b) any Affiliate of a Commitment Party or (c) any Related Fund of a Commitment Party; provided, that any such assignee, delegate or transferee agrees in writing prior to such assignment, delegation or transfer to be bound by the terms hereof in the same manner as the assigning, delegating or transferring Commitment Party with respect to the rights, obligations and/or interests so assigned, delegated or transferred. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision herein, no such assignment, delegation or transfer will relieve the assigning, delegating or transferring Commitment Party of its obligations hereunder if any such assignee, delegate or transferee fails to perform such obligations. The term “Related Fund” means, with respect to any Commitment Party, any fund, account or investment vehicle that is controlled or managed by (i) such Commitment Party, (ii) an Affiliate of such Commitment Party or (iii) the same investment manager or advisor as such Commitment Party or an Affiliate of such investment manager or advisor.

Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Commitment Letter, and notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Commitment Parties may be partnerships or limited liability companies, the Debtors and the Commitment Parties covenant, agree and acknowledge that no recourse under this Commitment Letter shall be had against any former, current or future directors, officers, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, general or limited partners, members, managers, employees, stockholders or equity holders of any Commitment Party, or any former, current or future directors, officers, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, employees, general or limited partners, members, managers, employees, stockholders or equity holders of any of the foregoing, as such (any such Person, a “No Recourse Party”), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any statute, regulation or other applicable law, or any other theory that seeks to “pierce the corporate veil” or impose liability of an entity against its owners or Affiliates or otherwise, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any No Recourse Party for any obligation of any Commitment Party under this Commitment Letter or any other Transaction Document for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or their creation.

8

This Commitment Letter is intended to be solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and is not intended to confer any benefits upon, or create any rights in favor of, any Person other than the parties hereto and other than the Indemnified Parties and the No Recourse Parties with respect to the provisions hereof that are applicable to such Persons.

The Debtors and each of the Commitment Parties hereby acknowledge that each Commitment Party and its Affiliates and Related Funds are in the business of making investments in and otherwise engaging in businesses which may or may not be in competition with the Debtors and/or the other Commitment Parties, and that this Commitment Letter and the Commitment made by such Commitment Party hereunder in no way limits or restricts the ability of such Commitment Party or any of its Affiliates or Related Funds, now or at any time in the future, with regard to making such investments or engaging in such businesses.

The Commitment Parties and their respective Affiliates and Related Funds may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Debtors. The Debtors hereby agree that the Commitment Parties will act under this Commitment Letter as independent contractors and that nothing in this Commitment Letter will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty among the Commitment Parties and the Debtors and their respective Affiliates.

Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Commitment Letter and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Commitment Letter.

Unless otherwise required by applicable law, regulation or legal process, the Debtors will not, without the Requisite Commitment Parties’ prior written consent, disclose to any Person any terms, conditions or other facts with respect to this Commitment Letter or the Commitments or the transactions contemplated hereunder, other than to the Debtors’ Representatives in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and subject to their agreement to be bound by the confidentiality provisions hereof; provided, however, that each Commitment Party agrees to permit disclosure in the Disclosure Statement and any filings by the Debtors with the Bankruptcy Court regarding the contents of this Commitment Letter, including, but not limited to, the aggregate Commitments; provided, that the Debtors shall not disclose in the Disclosure Statement or any such filing the Commitment or the Commitment Percentage of any Commitment Party or the amount of the Put Option Payment that will be paid to a Commitment Party, except as otherwise required by applicable law or with the prior written consent of such Commitment Party. The Debtors agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts (including by filing all necessary applications and other filings under the Securities Act, the Securities Exchange Act and/or any of the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder) to cause any copy of this Commitment Letter that may be filed with the Securities Exchange Commission to be accorded confidential treatment such that the Commitment and the Commitment Percentage of each Commitment Party and the amount of the Put Option Payment that will be paid to each Commitment Party shall be redacted.

9

Notwithstanding anything contained herein, each Commitment Party acknowledges that its decision to enter into this Commitment Letter has been made by such Commitment Party independently of any other Commitment Party. The covenants and obligations of the Commitment Parties under this Commitment Letter are, in all respects, several (and not joint nor joint and several), such that no Commitment Party shall be liable or otherwise responsible for any covenants or other obligations of any other Commitment Party, or any breach or violation thereof.

Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, demands, document deliveries and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given, provided or made (a) when delivered personally, (b) when sent by electronic mail (“e-mail”) or facsimile, (c) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service or (d) three (3) Business Days after mailed by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid to the parties at their respective addresses, facsimile numbers or e-mail addresses set forth under their signature pages to this Commitment Letter (or at such other address, facsimile number or e-mail address for a party as shall be specified by like notice).

THIS COMMITMENT LETTER SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF EXCEPT SECTIONS 5- 1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. Each party hereto hereby (a) consents to submit itself to the personal jurisdiction of the federal court of the Southern District of New York or any state court located in New York County, State of New York in the event any dispute arises out of or relates to this Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter, (b) agrees that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, including, without limitation, a motion to dismiss on the grounds of forum non conveniens, and (c) agrees that it will not bring any action arising out of or relating to this Commitment Letter or any of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter in any court other than the federal court of the Southern District of New York or any state court located in New York County, State of New York; provided, however, that during the pendency of the Chapter 11 Cases, all such actions shall be brought in the Bankruptcy Court; provided further that if the Bankruptcy Court lacks jurisdiction, the parties consent and agree that such actions or disputes shall be brought in a court referenced in clause (a) of this paragraph.

EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS COMMITMENT LETTER, ANY RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER OR THE PERFORMANCE OR EXERCISE OF ANY SUCH RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS. Except as prohibited by law, the Debtors hereby waive any right which they may have to claim or recover in any action or claim referred to in the immediately preceding sentence any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages or any damages other than, or in addition to, actual damages. Each of the Debtors (a) certifies that none of the Commitment Parties nor any Representative of any of the Commitment Parties has represented, expressly or
