Section 7.Additional Provisions Regarding Company Parties’ Commitments.

7.01.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall require a Company Party or the board of directors, board of managers, or similar governing body of a Company Party, upon advice of external counsel, to continue performing under this Agreement, to take any action or to refrain from taking any action with respect to the Restructuring Transactions to the extent taking or failing to take such action would cause such Company Party or the board of directors, board of managers or similar governing body of a Company Party to violate applicable Law or its fiduciary obligations under applicable Law, and any such action or inaction pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall not be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement. At all times prior to the date on which the Company Parties enter into any definitive agreement in respect of an Alternative Restructuring Proposal that a majority of the board of directors, board of managers or similar governing body of a Company Party determines in good faith consistent with its fiduciary duties, after receiving advice from external counsel, is a proposal that represents a higher or otherwise better recovery to the Company’s stakeholders than the Restructuring Transactions contemplated herein and in the Restructuring Term Sheet, the Company Parties shall (x) provide to Akin Gump and PJT Partners a copy of any written offer or proposal (and notice and a description of any oral offer or proposal) for such Alternative Restructuring Proposal, in each case, identifying the Person making such Alternative Restructuring Proposal and specifying in detail the material terms and conditions of such Alternative Restructuring Proposal within two (2) Business Day of the Company Parties’ or their advisors’ receipt of such offer or proposal and (y) provide such information to Akin Gump and PJT Partners regarding such discussions (including copies of any materials provided to such parties hereunder) as necessary to keep Akin Gump and PJT Partners contemporaneously informed as to the status and substance of such discussions. The Company Parties shall have first exercised their right in accordance with Section 11.02(c) of this Agreement to declare a termination event prior to the date on which the Company Parties enter into a definitive agreement in respect of such an Alternative Restructuring Proposal or make a public announcement regarding their intention to do so. Upon any determination by any Company Party to exercise a fiduciary out, the other Parties to this Agreement shall be immediately and automatically relieved of any obligation to comply with their respective covenants and agreements herein in accordance with Section 11.05 hereof.

7.02.Nothing in this Agreement shall: (a) impair or waive the rights of any Company Party to assert or raise any objection permitted under this Agreement in connection with the Restructuring Transactions; or (b) prevent any Company Party from enforcing this Agreement or contesting whether any matter, fact, or thing is a breach of, or is inconsistent with, this Agreement.

Section 8.Transfer of Interests and Securities.

8.01.During the Agreement Effective Period, no Consenting Noteholder shall Transfer any ownership (including any beneficial ownership as defined in the Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) in any Company Claims, in whole or in part, to any affiliated or unaffiliated party, including any party in which it may hold a direct or indirect beneficial interest, unless: either (i) the transferee executes and delivers to counsel to the Company Parties, at or before the time of the proposed Transfer, either (x) a transfer agreement in the form attached here to as Exhibit C (each,

a “Transfer Agreement”) or (y) a joinder in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (each, a “Joinder”) or (ii) the transferee is a Consenting Noteholder or an affiliate thereof and the transferee provides notice of such Transfer (including the amount and type of Company Claim Transferred) to counsel to the Consenting Noteholders by the close of business on the second Business Day following such Transfer.

8.02.Upon compliance with the requirements of Section 8.01, the transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations) under this Agreement to the extent of the rights and obligations in respect of such transferred Company Claims. With respect to Company Claims held by the relevant transferee upon consummation of a Transfer, such transferee is deemed to make all of the representations and warranties of a Consenting Noteholder and undertake all obligations relevant to such transferor (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the commitments made in Section 4.02) set forth in this Agreement. Any Transfer in violation of Section 8.01 shall be null and void ab initio.

8.03.This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude any Consenting Noteholders from acquiring additional Company Claims; provided, however, that (a) such additional Company Claims shall automatically and immediately upon acquisition by a Consenting Noteholder be deemed subject to the terms of this Agreement (regardless of when or whether notice of such acquisition is given to counsel to the Company Parties or to each of counsel to the Consenting Noteholders) and (b) such Consenting Noteholder must provide notice of such acquisition (including the amount and type of Company Claim acquired) to counsel to the Company Parties within three (3) Business Days of such acquisition.

8.04.This Section 8 shall not impose any obligation on any Company Party to issue any “cleansing letter” or otherwise publicly disclose information for the purpose of enabling a Consenting Noteholder to Transfer any of its Company Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent a Company Party and another Party have entered into a Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of such Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to apply and remain in full force and effect according to its terms, and this Agreement does not supersede any rights or obligations otherwise arising under such Confidentiality Agreements.

8.05.Notwithstanding Section 8.01, (a) a Consenting Noteholder may Transfer any Company Claims to an Entity that is an Affiliate, affiliated fund, or affiliated entity with a common investment advisor, which Entity shall automatically be bound by this Agreement upon the Transfer of such Company Claims and (b) a Qualified Marketmaker that acquires any Company Claims with the purpose and intent of acting as a Qualified Marketmaker for such Company Claims shall not be required to execute and deliver a Transfer Agreement in respect of such Company Claims if such Qualified Marketmaker subsequently Transfers such Company Claims (by purchase, sale assignment, participation, or otherwise) to a transferee that is a Consenting Noteholder or a transferee who executes and delivers to counsel to the Company Parties, at or before the time of the proposed Transfer, a Transfer Agreement, provided that the original Consenting Noteholder shall remain bound by the terms of this Agreement until such time as the Qualified Marketmaker transfers the Company Claims to a transferee that delivers a Transfer Agreement.

8.06.Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 8, the restrictions on Transfer set forth in this Section 8 shall not apply to the grant of any Liens or encumbrances on any Company Claims in favor of a bank or broker-dealer holding custody of such Company Claims in the ordinary course of business and which Lien or encumbrance is released upon the Transfer of such Company Claims.

Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by any Consenting Noteholder pursuant hereto is intended to constitute the

Consenting Noteholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that any Consenting Noteholder is in any way acting in concert or as a member of a “group” with any other Consenting Noteholder or Consenting Noteholders within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt: (1) each Consenting Noteholder is entering into this Agreement directly with the Company and not with any other Consenting Noteholder, (2) no other Consenting Noteholder shall have any right to bring any action against any other Consenting Noteholder with respect this Agreement (or any breach thereof) and (3) no Consenting Noteholder shall, nor shall any action taken by a Consenting Noteholder pursuant to this Agreement, be deemed to be acting in concert or as any group with any other Consenting Noteholder with respect to the obligations under this Agreement nor shall this Agreement create a presumption that the Consenting Noteholders are in any way acting as a group. All rights under this Agreement are separately granted to each Consenting Noteholder by the Company and vice versa, and the use of a single document is for the convenience of the Company. The decision to commit to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been made independently.

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

13.20.Email Consents. Where a written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver is required pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement, pursuant to Section 3.02, Section 12, or otherwise, including a written approval by the Company Parties or the Required Consenting Noteholders, such written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver shall be deemed to have occurred if, by agreement between counsel to the Parties submitting and receiving such consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver, it is conveyed in writing (including electronic mail) between each such counsel without representations or warranties of any kind on behalf of such counsel.

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

13.22.Good Faith Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith and shall coordinate their activities (to the extent reasonably practicable) in respect of all matters concerning the implementation and consummation of the Restructuring.

13.23.Fees and Expenses. Regardless of whether the Restructuring Transactions are consummated, the Company Parties shall within three (3) Business Days of receipt of an invoice,

pay in cash or reimburse all reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses (regardless of whether such fees and expenses were incurred before or after the Petition Date) of any advisors, whether retained directly or indirectly, of the Consenting Noteholders, including: (i) Akin Gump, as legal counsel to the Consenting Noteholders; (ii) PJT Partners, as the financial advisor retained on behalf of the Consenting Noteholders; (iii) one local counsel to the Consenting Noteholders; (iv) any other professionals or advisors retained by the Consenting Noteholders with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); and (v) reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses of individual Consenting Noteholders (including fees and expenses of external counsel) in amount not to exceed $250,000 in the aggregate (collectively, the “Consenting Noteholder Fees and Expenses”); provided, however, that all outstanding invoices of such professionals and advisors shall be paid in full by the Petition Date.

13.24.Public Disclosure; Confidential Information. Under no circumstances may any Party make any public disclosure of any kind that would disclose either: (i) the holdings of any Consenting Noteholders (including the signature pages hereto, which shall not be publicly disclosed or filed) or (ii) the identity of any Consenting Noteholder without the prior written consent of such Consenting Noteholder or the order of a Bankruptcy Court or other court with competent jurisdiction, or as may otherwise be required by law. Any obligations the Company may have under or in connection with this Agreement to furnish Confidential Information to a Consenting Noteholder shall be subject to such any confidentiality agreement in place between the Company and such Consenting Noteholder.

13.25.Withholding. The Company Parties shall each be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from amounts otherwise payable and deliverable to any Person hereunder such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of the relevant payment under applicable law. The Company Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the payment recipient with reasonable advance notice of any withholding that it intends to make pursuant to this provision, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such payment recipient to minimize any applicable withholding. To the extent that amounts are deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority and treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Parties agree not to treat the Notes as a “United States real property interest” within the meaning of section 897(c)(1) of title 26 of the United States Code and no Party shall take any position (whether in audits, tax returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the foregoing treatment unless required to do so by applicable law.
