the Company Parties shall have paid all invoiced and unpaid fees, costs and out-of-pocket expenses of the Advisors in accordance with their respective engagement letters and/or fee letters entered into with the Company (if any).

A new money senior secured superpriority term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $400 million (the “Superpriority Facility,” and the loans thereunder, the “Superpriority Loans”). Once repaid, the Superpriority Loans may not be reborrowed.

All of the Superpriority Loans shall be provided by a financial institution acting as a fronting lender that is mutually and reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Majority Consenting Parties and subsequently assigned as a loan to the applicable Consenting Party. The Company will pay all reasonable documented fees, charges and disbursements of the fronting lender and outside counsel to the fronting lender.

(i) The borrower and all guarantors under the Existing Credit Agreement and Existing 2025 Indentures (the “Existing Guarantors”) and (ii) subject to the Guaranty and Security Principles (as defined below), the subsidiaries of the Superpriority Borrower (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) that are domiciled in Germany and the other subsidiaries of the Company (other than Excluded Subsidiaries) that are domiciled in the other Specified Jurisdictions (in each case, other than Existing Guarantors) (the “Foreign Guarantors” and, together with the Superpriority Borrower, the “Foreign Obligors”).

The provision of guarantees and the granting of collateral by subsidiaries of the Company domiciled outside the United States will be effectuated to the maximum extent permitted by, but subject in all respects to applicable law (including capital maintenance, financial assistance, director and officer fiduciary and other similar legal duties) and will be subject in all respects to customary enforcement limitation language, and materiality considerations, reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Majority Consenting Parties (the “Guaranty and Security Principles”).¹

Providing liens in favor of the New Term Loans, the 2025 Notes and the New 2L Notes will be subject to considerations under German insolvency law. Liens provided by German Guarantors other than pledges (“Pfandrechte”) or land charges (“Grundschulden”) (e.g. security on trade receivables or movable assets) will be subject to the consent of the Majority Consenting Parties in consultation with the Company.

The provision of such guarantees and the granting of such collateral will be structured to the greatest extent reasonably practicable to minimize the risk of potential challenge in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Majority Consenting Parties, which may include (i) the provision of separate guarantees and, to the extent possible, separate security interests and liens in collateral of different or equal rank for each facility, (ii) the provision of value by trustees, agents or other entities acting on behalf of holders of New Term Loans, 2025 Notes and/or New 2L Notes in exchange for granting of guarantees and collateral for the benefit thereof by Foreign Obligors, which may include Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated assigning to such entities a portion of intercompany claims owed to Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated by Diebold Nixdorf Holding Germany GmbH in an appropriate amount and, following such assignment, such entities forgiving such claims in exchange for the granting of guarantees and liens in favor of the New Term Loans, 2025 Notes and New 2L Notes.

Except as set forth above with respect to guarantees provided by certain foreign subsidiaries, “Excluded Subsidiaries” under the loan documents for the Superpriority Facility (the “Superpriority Loan Documents”) shall be defined in a manner consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement, as modified on Annex A hereto.²

“Specified Jurisdictions” means Germany, Canada, Belgium, France, the UK, Sweden, Spain, Poland, Italy and the Netherlands.

The Initial Eligible Consenting Parties and Other Eligible Consenting Parties who properly elect to fund Superpriority Loans pursuant to the Transaction Support Agreement (collectively, the “Superpriority Lenders”).

The Superpriority Lenders shall be paid a participation premium (the “Participation Premium”) on the Closing Date in cash in an amount equal to 3% of the principal amount of the Superpriority Facility, which shall be allocated to the Superpriority Lenders pro rata based on the amount of Superpriority Loans funded.

For the avoidance of doubt, the existing pledges of less than 100% of the equity interest of an applicable subsidiary shall be increased to 100% of such equity interests to the greatest extent practicable, subject to the Guaranty and Security Principles.

SOFR (with 10bps credit spread adjustment) + 640bps

SOFR provisions to be based on LSTA precedent with such changes to be mutually agreed; provided that there will be a 4.0% floor.

provided that (i) the Superpriority Prepayment Premium shall be 1% of the principal amount being repaid for prepayments made as a result of asset sales (other than a transformative disposition or other transaction involving all or substantially all of the assets of the Company) and (ii) the Superpriority Prepayment Premium shall be 5% of the principal amount being repaid, including during months 1 – 24, for mandatory prepayments made as a result of any change of control, transformative acquisition or disposition or similar transaction, in each case, involving all or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, the Superpriority Prepayment Premium will be payable in the event of a bankruptcy filing or other insolvency event by the Company or any of the Guarantors, any foreclosure, exercise of remedies and/or sale of Collateral (as defined below) following an event of default, the sale of Collateral in an insolvency proceeding, any restructuring, reorganization or compromise of the obligations under the Superpriority Facility, or the termination of the Superpriority Loan documentation as a result of such events.

Foreign Collateral:

With respect to the Foreign Collateral (defined below), the ranking of the liens securing the Superpriority Facility, the ABL Facility, the New Term Loans, the 2025 Notes and the New 2L Notes shall be as follows:

Subject to the Guaranty and Security Principles, the ABL Facility (as defined below) shall have a first priority perfected security interest in and lien on certain current assets, including cash (other than cash constituting proceeds of Non-ABL Priority Collateral), inventory and receivables (the “ABL Priority Collateral”) of the Foreign Obligors, and the Superpriority Facility shall have a first priority perfected security interest in and lien on substantially all other assets (subject to exclusions for “Excluded Property” as defined consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement, as modified on Annex A hereto) other than the ABL Priority Collateral (the “Non-ABL Priority Collateral”) of the Foreign Obligors (the “Foreign Collateral”).³ The ABL Facility shall have a fourth priority perfected security interest in and lien on the Non-ABL Priority Collateral of the Foreign Obligors, and the Superpriority Facility shall have a second priority perfected security interest in and lien on the ABL Priority Collateral of the Foreign Obligors.

Subject to the Guaranty and Security Principles, the New Term Loans and the 2025 Notes shall have a third priority perfected security interest in and lien on the ABL Priority Collateral of the Foreign Obligors and a second priority perfected security interest in and lien on the Non-ABL Priority Collateral of the Foreign Obligors.

Subject to the Guaranty and Security Principles, the New 2L Notes shall have a fourth priority perfected security interest in and lien on the ABL Priority Collateral of the Foreign Obligors and a third priority perfected security interest in and lien on the Non-ABL Priority Collateral of the Foreign Obligors.

Solely for purposes of the intercreditor relationship between the Superpriority Facility, the New Term Loans, the 2025 Notes and the New 2L Notes, all property and assets of Foreign Obligors and proceeds thereof will be deemed to constitute Foreign Collateral, regardless of whether a perfected security interest in and lien on such property or proceeds has been created.

To the extent that applicable law does not provide that collateral can be secured by both first priority and junior priority perfected security interests, the priorities set forth in this section entitled Collateral shall be established through contractual arrangements reasonably acceptable to the Majority Consenting Parties and the Company.⁴

Intercompany debt obligations of (i) Foreign Obligors, including, without limitation, intercompany debt obligations of Diebold Nixdorf Holding Germany GmbH to Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated and to Diebold Nixdorf Dutch Holding B.V., and (ii) Existing Guarantors or Foreign Obligors to subsidiaries of the Company that are not Existing Guarantors or Foreign Obligors shall be subordinated with respect to payment priority, and subject to agreements providing for turnover, with respect to the Superpriority Facility, the ABL Facility, the New Term Loans, the 2025 Notes and the New 2L Notes, in a manner to be agreed by the Company and the Majority Consenting Parties.

Domestic Collateral:

With respect to the Domestic Collateral (defined below), the ranking of the liens securing the Superpriority Facility, the ABL Facility, the New Term Loans, the 2025 Notes, the New 2L Notes, and the Existing Term Loans shall be as follows; provided that, from and after the date on which the Existing Term Loans are no longer outstanding, the ranking of the liens with respect to the Domestic Collateral that is Non-ABL Priority Collateral shall be changed to be the same as the ranking of the liens with respect to the Foreign Collateral that is Non-ABL Priority Collateral:

The Superpriority Facility shall have a first priority perfected security interest in and lien on substantially all assets of the Company and each Existing Guarantor (subject to exclusions for “Excluded Property as defined consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement, as modified by Annex A hereto), including on certain assets (other than assets constituting the Foreign Collateral) currently not encumbered by the liens securing the Existing Term Loans and the 2025 Notes to be agreed by the Company and the Majority Consenting Parties (the “Domestic Collateral,” and together with the Foreign Collateral, the “Collateral”); provided, that the ABL Facility shall have a first priority security interest in and lien on Domestic Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral and the Superpriority Facility will have a second priority perfected security interest in and lien on the Domestic Collateral constituting ABL Priority Collateral.

The New Term Loans and the 2025 Notes will have a pari passu first priority perfected security interest in and lien on Domestic Collateral that is Non-ABL Priority Collateral and a third priority perfected security interest in and lien on Domestic Collateral that is ABL Priority Collateral.

The Existing Term Loans will have a pari passu first priority perfected security interest in and lien on Domestic Collateral that is Non-ABL Priority Collateral.⁵ The liens of the Existing Term Loans on the ABL Priority Collateral and on Foreign Collateral shall be released pursuant to the Amended Existing Credit Agreement.

For the avoidance of doubt, such collateral shall fall within the scope of footnote 4 above.

Liens of the Existing Term Loans shall be released on certain Non-ABL Priority Collateral mutually acceptable to the Company and the Majority Consenting Parties, and the lien priorities on such Non-ABL Priority Collateral shall be the same as the priorities on the Foreign Collateral that is Non-ABL Priority Collateral.

The New 2L Notes will have a second priority perfected security interest in and lien on Domestic Collateral that is Non-ABL Priority Collateral and a fourth priority perfected security interest in and lien on Domestic Collateral that is ABL Priority Collateral.

The ABL Facility will have a third priority perfected security interest in and lien on Domestic Collateral that is Non-ABL Priority Collateral.

“Excluded Property” shall be defined in a manner consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement, as modified on Annex A hereto.

The Loan Parties will be required to, within 90 days of the Closing Date (which may be extended by the administrative agent for the Superpriority Facility acting at the direction of the Required Superpriority Lenders (as defined below)), (i) deliver control agreements with respect to each of their U.S. deposit accounts and securities accounts and (ii) in the case of non-U.S. Guarantors, subject to the Guaranty and Security Principles, enter into customary foreign law governed security documentation under the law of the jurisdictions of such non-U.S. Guarantors (in each case under clauses (i) and (ii), subject to additional exclusions to be agreed). In no event shall foreign law security documentation be required in jurisdictions other than the Specified Jurisdictions.

Consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement, with appropriate modifications to reflect the terms of this term sheet (including all annexes hereto) and the priority status of the Superpriority Facility. For the avoidance of doubt, there shall be no excess cash flow mandatory prepayments.

Any Superpriority Lender may elect not to accept any mandatory prepayment (other than in connection with a refinancing event in respect of the Superpriority Loans). Any such rejected amount shall be re-offered to non-declining Superpriority Lenders and, if any amount is rejected after such re-offering (any such amount, the “Declined Proceeds”), may be retained by the Company and used in a manner not otherwise prohibited.

To give due regard to the negative covenants set forth in the Existing Credit Agreement in a manner consistent with the Documentation Principles, including, for avoidance of doubt, the revisions specified in Annex A hereto; provided that:

•   revisions shall reflect the corresponding provisions set forth in Annex A;

•   the Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, (other than (i) at maturity, (ii) with respect to regular debt service, or (iii) to the extent required by the Registered Exchange Offer Covenants (as defined below)) make or pay, directly or indirectly, any payment or other distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property) of or in respect of any 2024 Notes, the New 2L Notes, or loans outstanding after the Closing Date under the Amended Existing Credit Agreement (as defined below), including any payment or other distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property), including any sinking fund or similar deposit, on account of the prepayment (whether optional or mandatory), satisfaction, purchase, exchange, redemption, retirement, acquisition, defeasance, cancellation or termination of any such 2024 Notes, the New 2L Notes, or loans outstanding after the Closing Date under the Amended Existing Credit Agreement; provided, that:

•   the Company may (i) use up to $100 million of proceeds from new equity issuances consummated on or after the Closing Date to repay, repurchase or redeem the New 2L Notes, and (ii) redeem or refinance the New 2L Notes in connection with any change of control or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets solely to the extent the Superpriority Facility, the New Term Loans and the 2025 Notes have been paid in full in cash; and

•   the Company may make prepayments or repayments of the loans outstanding after the Closing Date under the Amended Existing Credit Agreement or the 2024 Notes outstanding after the Closing Date, with the proceeds of (A) junior financing, that (x) is junior in security and priority to each of the Superpriority Facility, the ABL Facility, the New Term Loans, the 2025 Notes and the New 2L Notes and (y) limits payment of interest on such financing to PIK interest or (B) newly issued equity of or capital contributions in the Company;

•   except as otherwise detailed on Annex A, the definitive documentation shall not allow for any non-ordinary course capacity with respect to negative covenants, including, without limitation, permitted indebtedness, permitted liens, permitted investments, restricted payments, sale-leaseback transactions, asset sales and affiliate transactions;

•   except as otherwise detailed on Annex A, the definitive documentation shall include, without limitation, (i) waterfall protection, pro rata protection, and “Serta”, “J.Crew”, “Chewy” and “Incora” protection, in each case acceptable to the Majority Consenting Parties and the Company; (ii) no day-one unrestricted subsidiaries and no ability to transfer assets to unrestricted subsidiaries, designate any new unrestricted subsidiaries, or hold assets at any unrestricted subsidiaries; and (iii) standard yield protection provisions (including, without limitation, provisions relating to compliance with risk-based capital guidelines, increased costs and payments free and clear of withholding taxes (subject to customary qualifications)); and

•   Restricted payments, repayments of intercompany indebtedness, intercompany loans, investments made after the execution of the TSA, dispositions and other payments or transfers, in each case other than in the ordinary course of business or for a bona fide business purpose, from a Foreign Obligor to a obligor under the Existing Term Loans (an “Existing Obligor”), shall be subject to the same restrictions as if made to a non-Guarantor rather than an Existing Obligor until the date on which the Existing Term Loans are no longer outstanding.

Following the Closing Date the Company will be required to (a) use reasonable best efforts, consistent with applicable securities laws, to file a Form S-4 by February 14, 2023 for a registered exchange of 2024 Notes held by holders that did not, or were not eligible to, participate in the 2024 Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer for units comprised of New 2L Notes and Warrants (the “Registered Exchange Offer”), (b) use reasonable best efforts, consistent with applicable securities laws, to launch the Registered Exchange Offer as soon as practicable but no later than March 15, 2023 and (c) consummate the Registered Exchange Offer as soon as practicable but no later than May 30, 2023, subject to extension for SEC review period but in any event no later than June 30, 2023. If the Company has used reasonable best efforts to satisfy the milestones reflected in the immediately preceding sentence, then such milestones may be extended one-time by up to 15 days, in the aggregate, with the consent of holders comprising a majority of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of each of the Superpriority Facility, the New Term Loan Facility and the 2025 Secured Notes.

The Company will use reasonable best efforts to maximize retail participation in the Registered Exchange Offer, which shall include as part of the Registered Exchange Offer a soliciting broker fee payable to retail brokers that are appropriately designated by their tendering holder clients to receive such fee.

The Company will be required to raise equity capital prior to the maturity date of the 2024 Notes in an amount necessary to repurchase, redeem, prepay or pay in full the principal amount (and any other accrued and unpaid fees or expenses that remain unpaid at the time of repurchase, redemption, prepayment or payment in full) of any 2024 Notes that failed to participate in the 2024 Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer or the Registered Exchange Offer in excess of $20 million of principal amount of 2024 Notes (such 2024 Notes in excess of $20 million, the “Excess Stub Notes”), and proceeds of such equity capital will be required to be used to repurchase, redeem, prepay or pay in full the Excess Stub Notes prior to the maturity date of the 2024 Notes.

The foregoing covenants are referred to as the “Registered Exchange Offer Covenants,” and shall be included in the Superpriority Facility, the New Term Loan Facility, and the Amended 2025 Indentures. Failure to satisfy any requirement under the Registered Exchange Offer Covenants will constitute an immediate event of default under the Superpriority Facility, the New Term Loan Facility, and the Amended 2025 Indentures. Except as set forth above, any waiver, amendment or modification of the Registered Exchange Offer Covenants will require the consent of holders comprising at least 85% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Superpriority Facility, 60.1% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the New Term Loan Facility and 60.1% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2025 Secured Notes.

To give due regard to the voting provisions in the Existing Credit Agreement in a manner consistent with the Documentation Principles, including, for avoidance of doubt, the revisions specified in Annex A hereto.

The documentation for the Superpriority Facility shall provide that the “Secured Parties” under the Superpriority Facility shall exclude each lender that is subject to federally regulated lender flood laws (“Flood Laws”), solely with respect to any mortgaged property that is subject to Flood Laws, unless such lender receives customary flood diligence information (including flood determinations, flood insurance certificates and related endorsements) that is acceptable to such lender. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Consenting Parties with such customary flood diligence information.

All holders of Existing Term Loans will have the opportunity to exchange 100% of the principal amount of their Existing Term Loans for New Term Loans issued under a new credit agreement for the New Term Loan Facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Existing Term Loans so exchanged (such exchange, the “Term Loan Exchange”).

Holders of Existing Term Loans that are Initial Eligible Consenting Parties and Other Eligible Consenting Parties shall, solely on account of Existing Term Loans held as of the Record Date, be paid upon the Closing Date a transaction premium of 3.0% of the principal amount of New Term Loans received in exchange for such Existing Term Loans in the Term Loan Exchange, paid in the form of additional New Term Loans (the “Term Loan Transaction Premium”).

Without duplication of any other Term Loan Transaction Premium that is payable on the Closing Date, holders of Existing Term Loans that participate in the Term Loan Exchange shall, solely on account of Existing Term Loans held as of the Closing Date (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, Existing Term Loans that were held by the Initial Eligible Consenting Parties and Other Eligible Consenting Parties on the Record Date), be paid the Term Loan Transaction Premium upon the Closing Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, no Term Loan Transaction Premium shall be paid more than once with respect to any Existing Term Loans.

•   revisions shall reflect the corresponding provisions set forth in Annex A;

•   the Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, (other than (i) at maturity, (ii) with respect to regular debt service, or (iii) to the extent required by the Registered Exchange Offer Covenants) make or pay, directly or indirectly, any payment or other distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property) of or in respect of any 2024 Notes, the New 2L Notes, or loans outstanding after the Closing Date under the Amended Existing Credit Agreement (as defined below), including any payment or other distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property), including any sinking fund or similar deposit, on account of the prepayment (whether optional or mandatory), satisfaction, purchase, exchange, redemption, retirement, acquisition, defeasance, cancellation or termination of any such 2024 Notes, the New 2L Notes, or loans outstanding after the Closing Date under the Amended Existing Credit Agreement; provided, that:

•   othe Company may (i) use up to $100 million of proceeds from new equity issuances consummated on or after the Closing Date to repay, repurchase or redeem the New 2L Notes, and (ii) redeem or refinance the New 2L Notes in connection with any change of control or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets solely to the extent the Superpriority Facility, the New Term Loans and the 2025 Notes have been paid in full in cash; and

•   othe Company may make prepayments or repayments of the loans outstanding after the Closing Date under the Amended Existing Credit Agreement or the 2024 Notes outstanding after the Closing Date, with the proceeds of (A) junior financing, that (x) is junior in security and priority to each of the Superpriority Facility, the ABL Facility, the New Term Loans, the 2025 Notes and the New 2L Notes and (y) limits payment of interest on such financing to PIK interest or (B) newly issued equity of or capital contributions in the Company.

The Company shall solicit consents from holders of 2025 Notes to amend the Existing 2025 Indentures (and other consents and waivers to be agreed by the Company and the Majority Consenting Parties) (the “2025 Consent Solicitation”).

Holders participating in the 2025 Consent Solicitation shall provide consents to amend the Existing 2025 Indentures through supplemental indentures (the “2025 Supplemental Indentures,” and, the Existing 2025 Indentures as amended thereby, the “Amended 2025 Indentures,”) in a manner consistent with the terms of this term sheet (including the annexes hereto), including, for the avoidance of doubt, Annex A, and to provide that the negative covenants thereunder shall be the same as under the New Term Loan Facility except as otherwise specifically provided on Annex A, with appropriate modifications to reflect the lien priority status of the 2025 Notes after giving effect to the Transactions. In addition, the 2025 Supplemental Indentures will incorporate the Registered Exchange Offer Covenants described under the Superpriority Facility above.

Holders participating in the 2025 Consent Solicitation shall also provide the other consents and waivers agreed by the Company and the Majority Consenting Parties in connection with the 2025 Consent Solicitation.

For the avoidance of doubt, the 2025 Consent Solicitation may be conducted as an exchange and consent solicitation of existing 2025 Notes for new 2025 Notes having identical terms (except for CUSIP numbers and ISIN) and comprising the same series as existing 2025 Notes.

Holders of 2025 Notes that are Initial Eligible Consenting Parties and Other Eligible Consenting Parties shall, solely on account of 2025 Notes held as of the Record Date, be paid upon the Closing Date a transaction premium of 3.0% of the principal amount such 2025 Notes, paid in the form of additional 2025 Notes (the “2025 Transaction Premium”).

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that applicable 2025 Notes are assigned or transferred in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement, the 2025 Transaction Premium shall remain payable on account of such applicable 2025 Notes and be paid to the holder thereof as of the Closing Date.

Without duplication of any other 2025 Transaction Premium that is payable on the Closing Date, holders of 2025 Notes that provide their consent to the 2025 Consent Solicitation, in accordance with the applicable procedures specified therein, shall, solely on account of 2025 Notes held as of the expiration time for such solicitation (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, 2025 Notes that were held by Initial Eligible Consenting Parties and Other Eligible Consenting Parties on the Record Date), be paid the 2025 Transaction Premium upon the Closing Date.

For the avoidance of doubt, no 2025 Transaction Premium shall be paid more than once with respect to any 2025 Notes.

The Company shall solicit consents from eligible holders of 2024 Notes to amend the Existing 2024 Indenture. Each eligible consenting holder of 2024 Notes will have the opportunity to exchange 100% of the principal amount of their 2024 Notes for New 2L Notes issued under the New 2L Indenture in an aggregate principal amount equal to 95% of the principal amount of the 2024 Notes so exchanged (such consent solicitation and exchange offer, the “2024 Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer”).

Holders of 2024 Notes participating in the 2024 Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer shall provide consents to amend the Existing 2024 Indenture through a supplemental indenture (the “2024 Supplemental Indenture,” and the Existing 2024 Indenture as amended thereby, the “Amended 2024 Indenture”) in a manner consistent with the terms of this term sheet (including the annexes hereto), with appropriate modifications to reflect the priority status of the 2024 Notes after giving effect to the Transactions.

Holders of 2024 Notes participating in the 2024 Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer shall also provide the other consents and waivers agreed by the Company and the Majority Consenting Parties in connection with the 2024 Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer. The 2024 Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer shall also provide for additional terms reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Majority Consenting Parties, including the early tender premium described under “2024 Notes Transaction Premium,” below.

Holders of 2024 Notes that are Initial Eligible Consenting Parties and Other Eligible Consenting Parties shall, solely on account of 2024 Notes held as of the Record Date, be paid upon the Closing Date a transaction premium of 5.0% of the principal amount of such 2024 Notes (excluding any Exempt Notes), paid in the form of New 2L Notes (the “2024 Transaction Premium”).

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that applicable 2024 Notes are assigned or transferred in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Support Agreement, the 2024 Transaction Premium shall remain payable on account of such applicable 2024 Notes and be paid to the holder thereof as of the Closing Date.

Without duplication of any other 2024 Transaction Premium that is payable on the Closing Date, holders of 2024 Notes that tender their 2024 Notes on or prior to the early tender deadline specified in the 2024 Offering Memorandum in accordance with the procedures set forth therein, shall, solely on account of 2024 Notes held as of such early tender deadline (and not, for the avoidance of doubt, 2024 Notes that were held by Initial Eligible Consenting Parties and Other Eligible Consenting Parties on the Record Date), be paid the 2024 Transaction Premium upon the Closing Date. The 2024 Transaction premium will also be payable to holders that participate in the Registered Exchange Offer within the deadline to be specified therein.

For the avoidance of doubt, no 2024 Transaction Premium shall be paid more than once with respect to any 2024 Notes.

Units (the “Units”) shall be issued and granted on the Closing Date in connection with the issuance of the New 2L Notes, which Units will be comprised of New 2L Notes and warrants (the “Warrants”). The Warrants in the aggregate shall, upon their full exercise, represent 19.99% of the outstanding common stock of the Company, calculated in accordance with applicable NYSE rules.

The Warrants shall be allocated on a pro rata basis based on holdings of New 2L Notes. Prior to April 1, 2024, the Warrants may not be sold, transferred or assigned to any person by the holder of the Warrants separate from, and independent of, the corresponding New 2L Notes (and the Warrants and the New 2L Notes, including any and all accrued PIK interest, shall trade as a single Unit under a single CUSIP until April 1, 2024, at which time the underlying Notes and Warrants will trade separately under separate CUSIPs, and upon and after which time the Warrants may be exercised (the “Unit Split Date”)). Any Equity Issuance Prepayment of New 2L Notes (including any and all accrued PIK interest thereon) prior to April 1, 2024 shall result in the immediate cancellation of the Warrants attached thereto. In addition, any refinancing or redemption of New 2L Notes (including any and all accrued PIK interest thereon) in connection with a change of control or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets prior to April 1, 2024 shall result in the immediate cancellation of the Warrants attached thereto. In the event of any other repayment, repurchase, redemption or other retirement of the New 2L Notes, the Warrants shall not be cancelled and shall immediately detach and be freely transferrable. On and after April 1, 2024, the Warrants shall be detachable from the New 2L Notes and shall be freely transferable as of April 1, 2024 (subject to applicable securities laws). The number of Warrants attached to each Unit shall be proportionally adjusted to reflect the issuance of additional Units upon consummation of the Registered Exchange Offer.

The exercise price for the Warrants shall be equal to $0.01. The Warrants may be exercised at any time on and after April 1, 2024 and prior to their expiration date. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file a resale registration statement with the SEC covering the shares underlying the Warrants on or prior to March 1, 2024 and thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such registration (subject to applicable securities laws) by April 1, 2024. The Warrants will expire on the date that is 5 years after the Closing Date.

Additional terms and conditions with respect to the Units shall be documented in a unit agreement that shall set forth the rights described herein and other customary terms and conditions as may be reasonably agreed by the Majority Consenting Parties and the Company.

Additional terms and conditions with respect to the Warrants shall be documented in a Warrant Agreement that shall set forth the rights described herein and other customary terms and conditions as may be reasonably agreed by the Majority Consenting Parties and the Company (the “Warrant Agreement”). The Warrant Agreement will provide that (i) the Warrants shall not vote with shareholders on an as-converted basis until exercised and (ii) holders of Warrants shall exercise such Warrants in accordance with Ohio law.

Subject to the terms of the Superpriority Facility, the New Term Loan Facility and the Amended 2025 Indentures, the Company shall be permitted to prepay the New 2L Notes at any time, in minimum principal amounts to be agreed upon, without premium or penalty.

The Superpriority Facility, the New Term Loan Facility and the Amended 2025 Indentures shall provide that the Company will be permitted to use up to $100 million of proceeds from new equity issuances consummated on or after the Closing Date to repay, repurchase or redeem the New 2L Notes (an “Equity Issuance Prepayment”). An Equity Issuance Prepayment and/or a refinancing or redemption in connection with a change of control or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company prior to April 1, 2024 shall result in the automatic cancellation of the Warrants (with no further preypayment premium or other fee) attached to the New 2L Notes being prepaid or refinanced.

For the avoidance of doubt, no other prepayment or refinancing of the New 2L Notes shall result in the cancellation of any Warrants, and in the event such prepayment or refinancing is permitted to occur, the Unit Split Date shall be deemed to have occurred on such date, and the Warrants shall continue to exist as a separate security, and the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Warrants trade under a standalone CUSIP.

ABL Facility and Existing Revolver

All holders of the Existing Revolver Exposure will have the opportunity to exchange their Existing Revolver Exposure at par into the ABL Facility (such exchange, the “Revolver Exchange”).

Holders of Existing Revolver Exposure that do not participate in the Revolver Exchange will have such Existing Revolver Exposure left outstanding with documentation and collateral changes as specified under “Certain Amendments” below.

The holders participating in the Term Loan Exchange and the Revolver Exchange will execute an amendment to the Existing Credit Agreement (the “Existing Credit Agreement Amendment,” and the Existing Credit Agreement as so amended, the “Amended Existing Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2024 Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer, holders of 2024 Notes will be solicited to provide consents to amend the Existing 2024 Indenture through the 2024 Supplemental Indenture.

The Existing Credit Agreement Amendment and the 2024 Supplemental Indenture shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Consenting Parties and shall, among other things, (i) allow the Transactions (as defined below) to be consummated, (ii) remove substantially all negative covenants, mandatory prepayments with respect to the term loans or notes thereunder and certain other provisions to be reasonably agreed that may be removed with the consent of the requisite lenders or holders under the applicable debt document (and under applicable law, including the Trust Indenture Act of 1939), (iii) direct the administrative agent, collateral agent or trustee, as applicable, to enter into one or more intercreditor agreements in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Consenting Parties (the “Intercreditor Agreements”) establishing the priorities described under “Collateral” for the Superpriority Facility, (iv) direct the administrative agent, collateral agent or trustee, as applicable, to release the liens securing the obligations under the Existing Credit Agreement on the ABL Priority Collateral, the Foreign Collateral and certain other assets to be agreed between the Majority Consenting Parties and the Company, (v) with respect to the Existing Credit Agreement Amendment, add in the definition of “Excluded Assets” any assets transferred, directly or indirectly, from a Foreign Obligor or direct or indirect subsidiary thereof to any Existing Guarantor after the Closing Date and any proceeds or replacements of any such transferred assets and (vi) provide for other terms or consents mutually and reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Majority Consenting Parties.

The transactions set forth herein (collectively, the “Transactions”) will be implemented as follows:

(a)   Immediately prior to the closing of the Transactions, the Company shall have completed the 2025 Consent Solicitation and the 2024 Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer;

(b)   Immediately prior to the closing of the Transactions, the applicable Consenting Parties, the Company and the agents and/or trustees under the Existing Credit Agreement, Existing 2025 Indentures and Existing 2024 Indenture will enter into the Amendments, 2L Indenture, and issue New 2L Notes;

(c)   Following the effectiveness of the Existing Credit Agreement Amendment, the Company will offer holders of Existing Revolver Exposure and Existing Term Loans who are Consenting Parties the opportunity to participate in the Revolver Exchange and/or the Term Loan Exchange, as applicable, on the terms set forth herein. Concurrently with the closing of the Exchanges, the agents or trustees for the Superpriority Facility, the ABL Facility, the New Term Loan Facility, the Amended 2025 Indentures, the New 2L Indenture and the Existing Credit Agreement will enter into the Intercreditor Agreements; and

(d)   Concurrently with the closing of the Revolver Exchange, Term Loan Exchange, 2025 Consent Solicitation and 2024 Consent Solicitation and Exchange Offer (collectively, the “Exchanges”), the Superpriority Lenders will fund the new-money Superpriority Facility on the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Superpriority Loan Documents.

The Company shall repay (with no premium or penalty) the New Term Loans on a pro rata basis (i) on the Closing Date, at par in an amount equal to 15% of the principal amount of Existing Term Loans that participate in the Term Loan Exchange, (ii) on December 31, 2023, at par in an amount equal to 5% of the principal amount (at the time of the Term Loan Exchange) of Existing Term Loans that participated in the Term Loan Exchange, subject in the case of clause (ii) to pro forma liquidity (tested on a trailing 10-day average and based on global cash or cash equivalents, and unused availability under the ABL Facility) on December 31, 2023 in excess of $250 million (the “Liquidity Condition”) and (iii) solely in the event the repayment in clause (ii) is not made as a result of the Liquidity Condition not being satisfied, on December 31, 2024, at par in an amount equal to 5% of the principal amount (at the time of the Term Loan Exchange) of Existing Term Loans that participated in the Term Loan Exchange, subject to the Liquidity Condition (tested on a trailing 10-day average and based on global cash or cash equivalents, and unused availability under the ABL Facility) measured on a pro forma basis on December 31, 2024 (together, the “New Term Loan Paydown”).

Any cash used to pay, prepay, repay, satisfy, purchase, exchange, redeem, retire, acquire, defease, cancel, or terminate the Excess Stub Notes (including any payment of interest, fees, or principal on account of such Excess Stub Notes) shall be deemed to not reduce liquidity for purposes of determining the Liquidity Condition in connection with the New Term Loan Paydown.

The Company and the Guarantors under the Superpriority Facility will indemnify the Ad Hoc Group and the Term Loan Group and its representatives (including its counsel and financial advisor) for all claims related to or arising from the Transactions on terms reasonably acceptable to the Ad Hoc Group, the Term Loan Group and the Company, other than such claims arising from gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

The fees and expenses incurred by the Ad Hoc Group (including the fees and expenses of Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP and Houlihan Lokey Capital, Inc.) and the Term Loan Group (including the fees and expenses of PJT Partners, Inc. and Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP) in connection with the Transactions will be paid by the Company, whether incurred prior to, on, or following the Closing Date.

Tax Treatment

Superpriority Facility

Providing liens in favor of the New Term Loans, the 2025 Notes and the New 2L Notes will be subject to considerations under German insolvency law. Liens provided by German Guarantors other than pledges (“Pfandrechte”) or land charges (“Grundschulden”) (e.g. security on trade receivables or movable assets) will be subject to the consent of the Majority Consenting Parties in consultation with the Company.

Except as set forth above with respect to guarantees provided by certain foreign subsidiaries, “Excluded Subsidiaries” under the loan documents for the Superpriority Facility (the “Superpriority Loan Documents”) shall be defined in a manner consistent with the Existing Credit Agreement, as modified on Annex A hereto.²

“Specified Jurisdictions” means Germany, Canada, Belgium, France, the UK, Sweden, Spain, Poland, Italy and the Netherlands.

For the avoidance of doubt, the existing pledges of less than 100% of the equity interest of an applicable subsidiary shall be increased to 100% of such equity interests to the greatest extent practicable, subject to the Guaranty and Security Principles.

Solely for purposes of the intercreditor relationship between the Superpriority Facility, the New Term Loans, the 2025 Notes and the New 2L Notes, all property and assets of Foreign Obligors and proceeds thereof will be deemed to constitute Foreign Collateral, regardless of whether a perfected security interest in and lien on such property or proceeds has been created.

For the avoidance of doubt, such collateral shall fall within the scope of footnote 4 above.

Liens of the Existing Term Loans shall be released on certain Non-ABL Priority Collateral mutually acceptable to the Company and the Majority Consenting Parties, and the lien priorities on such Non-ABL Priority Collateral shall be the same as the priorities on the Foreign Collateral that is Non-ABL Priority Collateral.

•   revisions shall reflect the corresponding provisions set forth in Annex A;

•   the Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, (other than (i) at maturity and other than, (ii) with respect to regular debt service), or (iii) to the extent required by the Registered Exchange Offer Covenants (as defined below)) make or pay, directly or indirectly, any payment or other distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property) of or in respect of any 2024 Notes, the New 2L Notes, or loans outstanding after the Closing Date under the Amended Existing Credit Agreement (as defined below), including any payment or other distribution (whether in cash, securities or other property), including any sinking fund or similar deposit, on account of the prepayment (whether optional or mandatory), satisfaction, purchase, exchange, redemption, retirement, acquisition, defeasance, cancellation or termination of any such 2024 Notes, the New 2L Notes, or loans outstanding after the Closing Date under the Amended Existing Credit Agreement; provided, that:

•   the Company may (i) use up to $100 million of proceeds from new equity issuances consummated on or after the Closing Date to repay, repurchase or redeem the New 2L Notes, and (ii) redeem or refinance the New 2L Notes in connection with any change of control or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets solely to the extent the Superpriority Facility, the New Term Loans and the 2025 Notes have been paid in full in cash; and

•   the Company may make prepayments or repayments of the loans outstanding after the Closing Date under the Amended Existing Credit Agreement or the 2024 Notes outstanding after the Closing Date, with the proceeds of (A) junior financing, that (x) is junior in security and priority to each of the Superpriority Facility, the ABL Facility, the New Term Loans, the 2025 Notes and the New 2L Notes and (y) limits payment of interest on such financing to PIK interest or (B) newly issued equity of or capital contributions in the Company;

•   except as otherwise detailed on Annex A, the definitive documentation shall not allow for any non-ordinary course capacity with respect to negative covenants, including, without limitation, permitted indebtedness, permitted liens, permitted investments, restricted payments, sale-leaseback transactions, asset sales and affiliate transactions; and

•      except as otherwise detailed on Annex A, the definitive documentation shall include, without limitation, (i) waterfall protection, pro rata protection, and “Serta”, “J.Crew”, “Chewy” and “Incora” protection, in each case acceptable to the Majority Consenting Parties and the Company; (ii) no day- one unrestricted subsidiaries and no ability to transfer assets to unrestricted subsidiaries, designate any new unrestricted subsidiaries, or hold assets at any unrestricted subsidiaries; and (iii) standard yield protection provisions (including, without limitation, provisions relating to compliance with risk- based capital guidelines, increased costs and payments free and clear of withholding taxes (subject to customary qualifications)).)); and

•   Restricted payments, repayments of intercompany indebtedness, intercompany loans, investments made after the execution of the TSA, dispositions and other payments or transfers, in each case other than in the ordinary course of business or for a bona fide business purpose, from a Foreign Obligor to a obligor under the Existing Term Loans (an “Existing Obligor”), shall be subject to the same restrictions as if made to a non-Guarantor rather than an Existing Obligor until the date on which the Existing Term Loans are no longer outstanding.
