As used herein, “Initial Backstop Notes” means, with respect to any Backstop Commitment Party, the aggregate principal amount of Notes held by it on the Agreement Effective Date.

Upon exercise of the put option by Monitronics, each of the Backstop Commitment Parties, severally and not jointly, will be required to purchase its Backstop Commitment Percentage of the Unsubscribed Shares, at the Exercise Price, on the other terms and conditions set forth in this Rights Offering and Equity Commitment Term Sheet, and the Put Option Agreement.

In the event that a Backstop Commitment Party defaults on its obligation to purchase Backstop Commitment Shares (a “Defaulting Backstop Commitment Party”), then each Backstop Commitment Party that is not a Defaulting Backstop Commitment Party (each, a “Non-Defaulting Backstop Commitment Party”) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase, at the Exercise Price and on the other terms set forth in this Rights Offering Term Sheet, and the Put Option Agreement, its Adjusted Commitment Percentage of such Backstop Commitment Shares.

Conditions to Commitments The Put Option Agreement shall provide that the Backstop Commitments of the Backstop Commitment Parties and the Equity Commitments of the Equity Commitment Parties are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of conditions that are customary for transactions of this nature, including, without limitation, that there has been no material adverse effect that is continuing. Termination Rights The Put Option Agreement shall contain termination rights of the Backstop Commitment Parties and the Equity Commitment Parties that are customary for transactions of this nature and consistent with the termination rights set forth in the RSA. Put Option Premium In consideration for granting the Debtors the right to (i) sell and cause the Backstop Commitment Parties to purchase the Backstop Commitment Shares in exchange for the Backstop Commitment Parties’ funding their Backstop Commitments and (ii) sell and cause the Equity Commitment Parties to purchase the Equity Commitment Shares in exchange for the Equity Commitment Parties’ funding their Equity Commitments, in each case pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Put Option Agreement, the Debtors shall be required to issue to the Commitment Parties a put option premium (the “Put Option Premium”), which Put Option Premium shall be payable on the Plan Effective Date in the form of New Common Stock at a discount to Plan value (but without any need for further payment for such New Common Stock by the Commitment Parties), representing 6.07% of the total shares of New Common Stock to be issued and outstanding as of the Plan Effective Date, subject to dilution by the Post-Emergence Incentive Plan (the “Put Option Premium Shares”). Upon entry of the Backstop Approval Order, the Put Option Premium shall be deemed earned in full on the date on which the Debtors duly execute and deliver to each of the Commitment Parties a countersigned copy of the Put Option Agreement. The Put Option Premium: (a) shall not be refundable under any circumstance or creditable against any fee or other amount paid in connection with the Put Option Agreement (or the transactions contemplated thereby) or otherwise; (b) shall be paid on the Plan Effective Date to the Commitment Parties on a pro rata basis (based

The Registration Rights Agreement shall be in form and substance acceptable to the Commitment Parties that will be parties thereto. Court Approval On the Petition Date, the Debtors shall file a motion, in form and substance acceptable to the Commitment Parties and reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting Term Lenders, seeking approval of the Put Option Agreement, the Rights Offering Procedures and any other Backstop Commitment Documents (the “Backstop Approval Motion”). Upon or before entry of the Confirmation Order, but in any event no later than forty-five (45) days after the Petition Date, the Bankruptcy Court shall enter an order, in form and substance acceptable to the Commitment Parties and reasonably acceptable to the Required Consenting Term Lenders, approving the relief requested in the Backstop Approval Motion on a final basis (the “Backstop Approval Order”), which Backstop Approval Order shall be in accordance with the RSA and which, for the avoidance of doubt, may be the same order as the Confirmation Order. Commitment Party Professional Fees The Debtors will pay all fees and expenses of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan LLP, Houlihan Lokey, Inc. and Mike R Meyers LLC (collectively, the “Commitment Party Professionals”), as advisors to the Commitment Parties, on a current basis, in accordance with the Put Option Agreement and in accordance with any letter agreements entered into between the Debtors and the Commitment

EXECUTION VERSION KKR CREDIT ADVISORS (US) LLC 555 California Street, 50th Floor San Francisco, California 94104 PERSONAL AND CONFIDENTIAL May 20, 2019 Mr. Fred Graffam Chief Financial Officer Monitronics International, Inc. 1990 Wittington Place Farmers Branch, Texas 75234 Commitment Letter Dear Mr. Graffam: You have advised KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC, on behalf of itself and certain of its affiliates and its or their managed funds and accounts (“KKR”, “us” or “we”) that we have been exclusively authorized by Monitronics International, Inc. (the “Company” or “you”) to act as structuring advisor (in such capacity, “Structuring Advisor”) and that KKR Capital Markets LLC (“KCM”) has been exclusively authorized by the Company to act as sole lead arranger and bookrunner in connection with the financing for, certain transactions described herein, in each case on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this letter and in the attached Annexes A and B hereto (collectively, the “Commitment Letter”). On the basis of such terms and conditions, we are hereby pleased to provide you with a commitment to provide such financing. You have (i) advised KKR that the Company and each of its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Companies”) intend to file petitions commencing cases (the “Bankruptcy Cases”) under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (Houston Division) (the “Bankruptcy Court”), and thereafter refinance their existing prepetition revolving credit facility (the “Existing Prepetition Revolving Credit Facility”) under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 23, 2012 (as amended through the date hereof, the “Existing Prepetition Credit Agreement”), among the Company, the guarantors party thereto from time to time, the lenders party thereto from time to time and Bank of America, N.A., as administrative agent, and (ii) requested that KKR provide (A) credit facilities consisting of up to $245 million of commitments under a debtor-in-possession revolving loan financing facility (the ”DIP Revolving Credit Facility” or the “DIP Facilities”), which will be used (w) to refinance the Existing Prepetition Revolving Credit Facility as described above, (x) to pay related transaction fees and expenses, (y) for working capital and general corporate purposes and (z) to fund Chapter 11 expenses, and (B) in the event a plan of reorganization for the Companies (the “Plan of Reorganization”) is confirmed under the Bankruptcy Code and upon Companies' election, (1) an exit term loan credit facility (the “Exit Term Loan Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount equal to $150 million and (2) an exit revolving credit facility (the “Exit Revolving Credit Facility”), with commitments in an aggregate principal amount equal to $145 million (the Exit Revolving Facility, together with the Exit Term Loan Facility, the “Exit Facilities” and

Monitronics International, Inc. May 20, 2019 Page 2 collectively with the DIP Facilities, the “Credit Facilities”), in each case substantially on the terms and conditions set forth in the Summary of Terms and Conditions of the Credit Facilities attached hereto as Annex B (the “Term Sheet”). Each of KKR and KCM understands that the Bankruptcy Code requires the entry of interim and final orders by the Bankruptcy Court approving the DIP Facilities, such orders to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders and the Company (the “DIP Orders”). KCM is pleased to confirm its commitment to act as sole lead arranger for the Credit Facilities on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Commitment Letter and the Term Sheet. KKR is pleased to confirm its commitment to act as structuring advisor for the Credit Facilities and to provide the Company 100% of the Credit Facilities, in each case, on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in this Commitment Letter and the Term Sheet. You hereby appoint KCM and KKR to act in each such role. The obligations of KKR to provide its portion of the Credit Facilities shall be, to the extent Additional Lenders (as defined below) provide commitments to provide portions of the Credit Facilities, several, not joint and several. KKR’s commitment to provide the Credit Facilities is subject in all respects to the satisfaction of the terms and conditions contained in this Commitment Letter. Our fees for our services related to the Credit Facilities are set forth in a separate fee letter (the “Fee Letter”), dated as of the date hereof, entered into by the Company and KKR. You acknowledge and agree that KKR may share or assign any portion of such fees with any Additional Lenders. Our commitments to fund the DIP Facilities and the Exit Facilities on the applicable Closing Date are subject to the satisfaction or waiver by KKR (or, if there are Additional Lenders, a majority of the commitments to fund the DIP Facilities and the Exit Facilities held by KKR and such Additional Lenders (KKR alone or such majority, as the case may be, the “Required Lenders”)) of the conditions set forth in the “Conditions to All Borrowings” section of the Term Sheet and Exhibits B or C to the Term Sheet, as applicable, and upon satisfaction or waiver of such conditions, the initial funding of the applicable Credit Facility shall occur. By executing this Commitment Letter, the Company, on behalf of itself, its subsidiaries, affiliates and Parent, agrees that from the date hereof until June 30, 2019, (i) it will cease any discussion with other potential debtor-in-possession financing providers and will not engage in any discussion or provide any information or pay any commitment fee, arrangement fee or any other similar fee or pay any expense deposit to any person or persons other than KKR, KCM, and, if applicable, each Additional Lender, in connection with soliciting from such financing provider, person or persons a proposal or commitment to provide debtor-in-possession debt financing in lieu of the DIP Facilities and (ii) that it will not enter into any definitive agreement for a debtor-in-possession debt financing (including any modification, extension, or continuation of existing credit facilities) in lieu of the DIP Facilities if KKR and, if applicable, each Additional Lender, are ready, willing and able to provide the proceeds of the DIP Facilities on the terms and conditions substantially as set forth in this Commitment Letter. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph shall not prohibit the Companies from amending or otherwise modifying the Existing Prepetition Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Prepetition Credit Agreement) with respect to the loans thereunder to effect necessary waivers or forbearances with respect to existing or future defaults under the Existing Prepetition Credit Agreement, reflect the payment in full of the Existing Prepetition Revolving Credit Facility and otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. KKR (together with certain of its affiliates and its or their managed funds and accounts) is underwriting the full amount of their respective commitments of the Credit Facilities. However, KCM may syndicate the commitments with respect to the Credit Facilities to financial institutions and/or other lenders

Monitronics International, Inc. May 20, 2019 Page 3 who are members of the Ad Hoc Lender Group (“Additional Lenders”). You acknowledge and agree that, with respect to the Exit Facilities, syndication to any Additional Lender will occur only to the extent such Additional Lender agrees to provide commitments for both the Exit Term Loan Facility and the Exit Revolving Credit Facility, pro rata with respect to the total principal amounts of each. You also acknowledge and agree that any Additional Lender shall provide both commitments and loans under the DIP Facilities and the Exit Facilities which shall be no less than such Ad Hoc Group Lender’s Pro Rata Share (unless otherwise agreed by KKR and such Additional Lender), but shall not exceed the maximum commitment amount that such Additional Lender indicates in its commitment (such maximum amount, the “Additional Lender’s Maximum Amount”). By way of example, if less than all of the Ad Hoc Group Lenders commit to be Additional Lenders, the allocations of each such Additional Lender shall be increased on a pro rata basis across KKR and such Additional Lenders until each Additional Lender’s Maximum Amount has been reached. If all Additional Lenders’ Maximum Amounts have been reached, and there are excess commitments to be allocated, KKR will be allocated such commitments. For purposes hereof: “Ad Hoc Lender Group” shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the Restructuring Support Agreement, dated as of May 20, 2019. “Ad Hoc Group Lender” means an Additional Lender who is a member of the Ad Hoc Lender Group; and “Pro Rata Share” means, with respect to any Ad Hoc Group Lender, (i) the percentage of such Ad Hoc Group Lender’s share of commitments and loans under the Existing Prepetition Credit Agreement, as of the date hereof, divided by (ii) 0.60. So long as no event of default has occurred and is continuing under the applicable Credit Facility, unless you agree in writing, we will not syndicate our commitments to (i) those banks, financial institutions and other lenders and persons and any controlled affiliate of such person reasonably identifiable by name (excluding (x) any affiliate that is a person that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of business and (y) subject to clause (i) of the final sentence of this paragraph, any person that is a lender under the Existing Prepetition Credit Agreement), in all cases to the extent identified by name in writing by you to us prior to the date hereof or (ii) those persons who are competitors of the Companies and any controlled affiliate of such competitor reasonably identifiable by name (in each case, excluding (x) their respective financial investors that are not operating companies, and (y) any person that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of business) that are separately identified by name in writing by you to us prior to the date hereof and as such written notice may be updated from time to time with our written approval (such persons above, collectively, the “Disqualified Lenders”); provided that no such written notice shall apply retroactively to disqualify any person that has acquired an assignment or participation interest in the loans or commitments under the applicable Credit Facility prior to the delivery of such notice. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Commitment Letter (i) unless you agree in writing, no person that is a lender under the Existing Prepetition Credit Agreement that is not a party to the Restructuring Support Agreement shall be permitted to be a lender under either Credit Facility and (ii), neither the commencement nor the completion of any such syndication of the Credit Facilities shall constitute a condition precedent to the availability and funding of any Credit Facility. In addition, the Company represents (it being understood that the accuracy of such representation shall not be a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Credit Facilities) and covenants (it being understood that compliance with such covenant shall not be a condition to the commitments hereunder or the funding of the Credit Facilities) that (i) all written information, other than Projections (as defined below) and information of a general economic or industry specific nature, which has been or is hereafter provided directly or indirectly by the Company or any of its representatives to KKR, KCM or the Lenders (as defined in the Term Sheet) in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby

Monitronics International, Inc. May 20, 2019 Page 4 (the “Information”), as and when furnished, is and will be complete and correct in all material respects and does not and will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading, taken as a whole, in light of the circumstances under which such Information is provided (after giving effect to all supplements and updates thereto) and (ii) all financial projections concerning the Companies that have been or will be made available to KKR, KCM or the Lenders by the Company or any of its representatives (the “Projections”) have been and will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions that are believed by you to be reasonable at the time made and at the time any such Projections are delivered to KKR and KCM (it being understood that any such Projections are not to be viewed as facts, are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular Projections will be realized, that actual results may differ and that such differences may be material). You agree that if at any time prior to the applicable Closing Date, any of the representations in the preceding sentence would be incorrect in any material respect if the Information and Projections were being furnished, and such representations were being made, at such time, then you will promptly supplement, or cause to be supplemented, the Information and Projections so that such representations will be correct in all material respects under those circumstances. By executing this Commitment Letter, you agree to reimburse KKR, KCM and, if there are Additional Lenders, the Ad Hoc Lender Group, on each Closing Date (or if this Commitment Letter terminates in accordance with the terms hereof, on demand) for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including, but not limited to, (i) the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of (x) Proskauer Rose, LLP, as counsel to KKR and KCM, (y) Jones Day as counsel to the Lenders (other than KKR) and Ad Hoc Lender Group, and (z) a single local counsel to the Lenders, KKR and KCM for each applicable jurisdiction, and, solely in the case of an actual or potential conflict of interest, one additional counsel to each group of similarly situated persons taken as a whole and (ii) search fees, due diligence expenses, transportation expenses and insurance consultant costs and expenses and fees and expenses incurred by KKR and KCM in connection with background checks) incurred in connection with the Credit Facilities, the syndication thereof, the preparation of the definitive documentation therefor and the other transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the “Expenses”), regardless of whether any of the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated. Within one business day after the execution of this Commitment Letter, the Company shall pay to KKR an additional expense deposit of $100,000 (the “Expense Deposit”), to fund Expenses incurred by or on behalf of KKR and KCM. Prior to the termination of this Commitment Letter, KKR may request in writing (with such request to be accompanied, upon the Company’s request, by a reasonably detailed description (but not an itemized list) of (x) disbursements from the Expense Deposit to date and (y) expected future disbursements from the Expense Deposit), and the Company shall promptly pay to KKR, in immediately available funds, an additional expense deposit if the amount of Expenses incurred or expected to be incurred by KKR and KCM in connection with the Credit Facilities exceeds or are expected to exceed the amount of the Expense Deposit being held by KKR. The Expense Deposit will not be segregated and may be commingled with other funds and the Company will not be entitled to receive interest on the Expense Deposit. Upon the earlier of (i) termination of this Commitment Letter and (ii) the Exit Facilities Closing Date, any unused portion of the Expense Deposit (other than amounts reasonably expected to be incurred as a result of any post-closing matters under the Exit Loan Documents) shall be promptly returned to the Company. In addition, in connection with arrangements such as this, it is KKR’s and KCM’s policy to receive indemnification. The Company agrees to indemnify and reimburse KKR, KCM and, if applicable,

You agree that each of KKR, KCM and, each Additional Lender, if applicable, will act under this Commitment Letter as an independent contractor and that nothing in this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet or the Fee Letter or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between

In addition, each of KKR, KCM or, if applicable, any Additional Lender may employ the services of their respective affiliates in providing certain services hereunder and subject to the terms of the NDA, may exchange with such affiliates information concerning the Company and other companies that may be the subject of this Commitment Letter, the Term Sheet and the Fee Letter, and such affiliates shall be entitled to the benefits afforded to KKR, KCM or, if applicable, such Additional Lender hereunder.

Documentation Principles: The terms of the Credit Facilities shall be generally consistent with, and based on, those set forth in (a) the Existing Prepetition Credit Agreement and (b) the other Loan Documents (as defined in the Existing Prepetition Credit Agreement), in each case, with such changes as are necessary or appropriate (i) for debtor-in-possession financings (in the case of the DIP Facilities), (ii) to address terms of the Credit Facilities as set forth in the Commitment Letter, this Term Sheet and the Fee Letter, (iii) to reflect the changes in the capital structure and the credit profile of the Companies since the date of the Existing Prepetition Credit Agreement (which shall include, without limitation, the changes set forth in Exhibit D hereto), and (iv) such other changes to the extent agreed by the Company and the Required Lenders; provided, that the borrowing mechanics (including provisions related to the Letters of Credit) and other operational provisions applicable to the Credit Facilities will be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders and agency provisions applicable to the Credit Facilities will be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, representations and warranties, covenants (other than financial covenants) and other terms and conditions under the Loan Documents may conform to the Amended Existing Prepetition Credit Agreement as reasonably determined by the Required Lenders. The provisions of this paragraph are referred to herein as the “Documentation Principles”. The Collateral securing the Credit Facilities shall be subject to the Intercreditor Agreement (as defined below). “Intercreditor Agreement” means (i) prior to the Exit Facilities Closing Date, the existing Intercreditor and Collateral Agency Agreement, dated as of September 30, 2016 (as such agreement may be modified by the Interim Order, the “Existing Intercreditor Agreement”) and (ii) on and after the Exit Facilities Closing Date, an intercreditor agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Structuring Advisor and the Agent (the “Exit Intercreditor Agreement”).

Any Lender (a “Declining Lender”) may elect not to accept its pro rata portion of any mandatory prepayment (other than the Specified Mandatory Prepayment) (such portion of mandatory prepayment, the “Declined Amount”). The Declined Amount shall be applied to the loans held by the non-Declining Lenders, at their election, and to the extent there is any excess of the Declined Amount remaining after such application, it may be applied as a mandatory prepayment under the Amended Existing Prepetition Credit Agreement to the extent the mandatory prepayment declined by the Declining Lenders is a required mandatory prepayment under the Amended Existing Prepetition Credit Agreement.
