JOINT CHAPTER 11 PLAN OF REORGANIZATION OF IRONNET, INC. AND ITS

DEBTOR AFFILIATES UNDER CHAPTER 11 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE

IronNet, Inc. and each of the debtors and debtors-in-possession in the above captioned cases (each a “Debtor” and, collectively, the “Debtors”) propose this joint plan of reorganization (the “Plan”) for the resolution of the outstanding Claims against, and Interests in, the Debtors. Capitalized terms used in the Plan and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article I(A) of the Plan.

Although proposed jointly for administrative purposes, the Plan constitutes a separate Plan for each Debtor for the resolution of outstanding Claims and Interests pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code. Each Debtor is a proponent of the Plan within the meaning of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The classifications of Claims and Interests set forth in Article III of the Plan shall be deemed to apply separately with respect to each Plan proposed by each Debtor, as applicable. The Plan provides for consolidation of the Debtors solely for purposes of voting, Confirmation, and distribution, but not for any other purpose. The Debtors reserve the right to seek substantive consolidation of the Debtors in connection with Confirmation, but substantive consolidation shall not affect the legal and organizational structure of the Reorganized Debtors or their separate corporate existence and will not change the distributions to Holders of Claims compared to what is proposed in the Plan.

The Debtors are pursuing the Restructuring and a Sale Transaction on parallel paths, all as described in further detail in the Disclosure Statement. Any Sale Transaction may be implemented pursuant to this Plan and the Confirmation Order or pursuant to a separate 363 Sale Order. The Debtors may sell all or substantially all of their assets or the Reorganized IronNet Equity in a Sale Transaction under this Plan or a 363 Sale Order, in which case the proceeds thereof shall be distributed in accordance with the applicable provisions of this Plan, the Debtors will be wound down, and the Restructuring will not occur. If the Debtors do not sell all or substantially all of their assets or the Reorganized IronNet Equity under the Plan or a 363 Sale Order, they will consummate the Restructuring.

Reference is made to the Disclosure Statement, filed contemporaneously with the Plan, for a discussion of the Debtors’ history, businesses, results of operations, historical financial information, projections, and future operations, as well as a summary and analysis of the Plan and certain related matters, including distributions to be made under the Plan.

ALL HOLDERS OF CLAIMS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ THE PLAN AND THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE VOTING TO ACCEPT OR REJECT THE PLAN.

Article II.

ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS, DIP FACILITY CLAIMS, PRIORITY TAX CLAIMS,

OTHER PRIORITY CLAIMS AND UNITED STATES TRUSTEE STATUTORY FEES

In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, Administrative Claims (including Professional Fee Claims) and Priority Tax Claims have not been classified and thus are excluded from the Classes of Claims and Interests set forth in Article III.

Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed General Administrative Claim and the applicable Debtor(s) agree to less favorable treatment with respect to such Allowed General Administrative Claim, each Holder of an Allowed General Administrative Claim will be paid the full unpaid amount of such Allowed General Administrative Claim in Cash: (a) on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter or, if not then due, when such Allowed General Administrative Claim is due or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; (b) if a General Administrative Claim is Allowed after the Effective Date, on the date such General Administrative Claim is Allowed or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter or, if not then due, when such Allowed General Administrative Claim is due or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter; (c) at such time and upon such terms as may be agreed upon by such Holder and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as the case may be; or (d) at such time and upon such terms as set forth in an order of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that Allowed General Administrative Claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Debtors’ business during the Chapter 11 Cases shall be paid in full in Cash in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course of business, or industry practice; provided, further, that any Allowed General Administrative Claim that has been assumed by a Successful Bidder under the applicable Sale Transaction Documentation shall not be an obligation of the Debtors and shall not be entitled to any recovery from the Estates under this Plan.

All final requests for payment of Professional Fee Claims for services rendered and reimbursement of expenses incurred on and after the Petition Date and prior to and on the Effective Date must be Filed no later than 45 days after the Effective Date. The Bankruptcy Court shall determine the Allowed amounts of such Professional Fee Claims after notice and a hearing in accordance with the procedures established by the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and prior Bankruptcy Court orders. The Reorganized Debtors or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall pay Allowed Professional Fee Claims in Cash to such Retained Professionals in the amount the Bankruptcy Court Allows from funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account, as soon as reasonably practicable after such Professional Fee Claims are Allowed by entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that the Debtors’ and the Reorganized Debtors’ obligations to pay Allowed Professional Fee Claims shall not be limited or deemed limited to funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account.

16

No later than the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable shall establish and fund the Professional Fee Escrow Account with Cash equal to the Professional Fee Escrow Amount. The Professional Fee Escrow Account shall be maintained in trust solely for the Retained Professionals and for no other Entities until all Professional Fee Claims Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court have been irrevocably paid in full in Cash to the Retained Professionals pursuant to one or more orders of the Bankruptcy Court. No Liens, claims, or interests shall encumber the Professional Fee Escrow Account or Cash held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account in any way. No funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account shall be property of the Estates of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, funding of the Professional Fee Escrow Account will not be reported as a disbursement from the Estates, and disbursements from the Professional Fee Escrow on account of payment of Allowed Professional Fee Claims will be reported as disbursements from the Estates on the relevant monthly operating report(s). When all Professional Fee Claims Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court have been irrevocably paid in full in Cash to the Retained Professionals pursuant to one or more orders of the Bankruptcy Court, any remaining funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account shall be remitted to the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other Entity. Any further disbursements of such funds shall be reported in accordance with the Bankruptcy Rules.

The Retained Professionals shall deliver to the Debtors a reasonable and good-faith estimate of their unpaid fees and expenses incurred in rendering services to the Debtors (which estimate may include a cushion to cover unexpected or unknown fees) before and as of the Effective Date projected to be outstanding as of the anticipated Effective Date, and shall deliver such estimate no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no such estimate shall be considered or deemed an admission or limitation with respect to the amount of the fees and expenses that are the subject of a Retained Professional’s final request for payment of Professional Fee Claims Filed with the Bankruptcy Court, and such Retained Professionals are not bound to any extent by the estimates. If a Retained Professional does not provide an estimate, the Debtors may estimate the unpaid and unbilled fees and expenses of such Retained Professional for inclusion in the Professional Fee Escrow Amount. The total aggregate amount so estimated to be outstanding as of the anticipated Effective Date shall be utilized by the Debtors to determine the amount to be funded to the Professional Fee Escrow Account.

All requests for payment of an Administrative Claim (other than DIP Facility Claims, Cure Costs, Professional Fee Claims, or U.S. Trustee quarterly fees payable pursuant to Article II.D below) that accrued on or before the Effective Date other than in the ordinary course of business must be filed with the Bankruptcy Court and served on the Debtors no later than the Administrative Claims Bar Date. If a Holder of an Administrative Claim (other than DIP Facility Claims, Cure Costs, Professional Fee Claims, or U.S. Trustee quarterly fees payable pursuant to Article II.D below) that is required to, but does not, file and serve a request for payment of such Administrative Claim by the Administrative Claims Bar Date, such Administrative Claim shall be considered Allowed only if the Holder of such Claim obtains a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court allowing such Claim.

The Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, in their sole and absolute discretion, may settle Administrative Claims in the ordinary course of business without further Bankruptcy Court approval. The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, may also choose to object to any Administrative Claim no later than the Claims Objection Deadline, subject to extensions by the Bankruptcy Court, agreement in writing of the parties, or on motion of a

17

party in interest approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Unless the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, (or other party with standing) object to a timely-filed and properly served Administrative Claim, such Administrative Claim will be deemed Allowed in the amount requested after expiration of the Claims Objection Deadline (as may be extended). In the event that the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator object(s) to an Administrative Claim, the parties may confer to try to reach a settlement and, failing that, the Bankruptcy Court will determine whether such Administrative Claim should be allowed and, if so, in what amount.

The DIP Facility Claims shall be deemed to be Allowed under the Plan in an amount equal to the DIP Obligations (as defined in the DIP Orders). The DIP Facility Claims shall not be subject to any avoidance, reduction, setoff, recoupment, recharacterization, subordination (equitable, contractual, or otherwise), counterclaim, defense, disallowance, impairment, objection, or any challenge under applicable law or regulation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of and in exchange for the release of all Allowed DIP Facility Claims, on the Effective Date, the DIP Lender shall receive (i) if the Restructuring is consummated, its Pro Rata Share of the New Common Equity, subject to dilution by the Management Incentive Plan, or (ii) if a Sale Transaction is consummated, unless otherwise agreed to by the DIP Lender, payment in full in Cash from Sale Transaction Proceeds.

Contemporaneously with the effectuation of the final of the foregoing distributions, payments, continuation under the Exit Facility, terminations, or otherwise, the DIP Facility shall be deemed canceled, all commitments under the DIP Orders and any related documentation shall be deemed terminated, all Liens on property of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, arising out of or related to the DIP Facility shall automatically terminate, and all collateral subject to such Liens shall be automatically released, in each case without further action by the DIP Agent or the DIP Lender and all guarantees of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors arising out of or related to the DIP Facility Claims shall be automatically discharged and released, in each case without further action by the DIP Agent or the DIP Lender. Upon the reasonable request of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and at the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’, as applicable, sole cost and expense, the DIP Agent or the DIP Lender shall take all actions to effectuate and confirm such termination, release and discharge. The Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors as applicable, shall also be authorized to make any such filings contemplated by the foregoing sentence on behalf of the DIP Agent and/or the DIP Lender, at the sole cost and expense of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, and the DIP Agent and the DIP Lender shall have no liabilities related thereto.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, the DIP Facility and the DIP Orders and any related documentation shall continue in full force and effect (other than, for the avoidance of doubt, any Liens or other security interests terminated pursuant to this paragraph) after the Effective Date with respect to any unsatisfied obligations thereunder, as applicable, including, but not limited to, those provisions relating to the rights of the DIP Agent and the other DIP Lender to expense reimbursement, indemnification, and other similar amounts (either from the Debtors (which rights shall be fully enforceable against the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) or the DIP Lender) and any provisions that may survive termination or maturity of the DIP Facility in accordance with the terms thereof.

18

Except to the extent that a Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim and the Debtor(s) against which such Allowed Priority Tax Claim is asserted agree to a less favorable treatment, in exchange for full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and the discharge of each Allowed Priority Tax Claim, each Holder of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim shall receive, at the option of the Debtors, either (i) the full unpaid amount of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim in Cash on the later of the Effective Date and the date on which such Priority Tax Claim becomes an Allowed Claim or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter (or, if not then due, when such Allowed Priority Tax Claim is due or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter), or (ii) equal annual installment payments in Cash, of a total value equal to the Allowed amount of such Priority Tax Claim, over a period ending not later than five (5) years after the Petition Date; provided that (i) in the event of a Restructuring, notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, any Claim on account of a “use tax” assessed or assessable under applicable state law shall be assumed by and Reinstated against the applicable Reorganized Debtor and (ii) in the event of a Sale Transaction, any Allowed Priority Tax Claim that has been expressly assumed by a Successful Bidder under the Sale Transaction Documentation shall not be an obligation of the Debtors. On the Effective Date, any Liens securing any Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall be deemed released, terminated, and extinguished, in each case without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act, or action under applicable law, regulation, order or rule, or the vote, consent, authorization, or approval of any Person.

All fees pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930(a)(6) and any interest assessed pursuant to 31 U.S.C. § 3717 (“U.S. Trustee Fees”) that are due and owing as of the Effective Date shall be paid by the Debtors in full in Cash on the Effective Date. The Debtors shall file all monthly operating reports due prior to the Effective Date when they become due, using UST Form 11-MOR. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors or the Plan Administrator (if appointed), as applicable, shall file with the Bankruptcy Court separate UST Form 11-PCR reports when they become due. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors or the Plan Administrator (if appointed), as applicable, shall pay any and all applicable U.S. Trustee Fees in full in Cash when due and payable. The Reorganized Debtors or the Plan Administrator (if appointed), as applicable, shall remain obligated to pay any applicable U.S. Trustee Fees until the earliest of the closure, dismissal, or conversion to a case under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code of the case of that particular Debtor for whom the Reorganized Debtors, or the Plan Administrator (if appointed), as applicable, is responsible. The U.S. Trustee shall not be treated as providing any release under the Plan. U.S. Trustee Fees are Allowed. The U.S. Trustee shall not be required to file any proof of claim or any request for administrative expense for U.S. Trustee Fees. The provisions of this paragraph shall control notwithstanding any other provision(s) in the Plan to the contrary.

Article III.

CLASSIFICATION AND TREATMENT OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS

The Plan constitutes a separate chapter 11 plan for each Debtor. Except for the Claims addressed in Article II above (or as otherwise set forth herein), all Claims and Interests are placed in Classes for each of the applicable Debtors. Unless otherwise specified, the Plan consolidates Claims against all Debtors solely for purposes of voting, Confirmation, and distribution but not for any other purpose. The Debtors reserve the right to seek substantive consolidation of the Debtors in connection with

19

Confirmation, but substantive consolidation shall not affect the legal and organizational structure of the Reorganized Debtors or their separate corporate existences and will not change the distributions to Holders of Claims compared to what is proposed in the Plan. In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors have not classified Administrative Claims, DIP Facility Claims, and Priority Tax Claims, as described in Article II.

The categories of Claims and Interests listed below classify Claims and Interests for all purposes, including voting, Confirmation and distribution pursuant hereto and pursuant to sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Plan deems a Claim or Interest to be classified in a particular Class only to the extent that the Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of that Class and shall be deemed classified in a different Class to the extent that any remainder of such Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of such different Class. A Claim or an Interest is in a particular Class only to the extent that any such Claim or Interest is Allowed in that Class and has not been paid or otherwise settled prior to the Effective Date.

Claims in Class 1, Class 2, and Class 6 are Unimpaired under the Plan and, therefore, their Holders are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, Holders of Claims in Class 1, Class 2, and Class 6 are not entitled to vote on the Plan and the votes of such Holders shall not be solicited.

Claims in Classes 3, 4, 5, and 7 are Impaired under the Plan and the Holders of Allowed Claims in Classes 3 and 5 are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan.

Equity Interests in Class 10 are Impaired under the Plan and their Holders shall receive no distributions under the Plan on account of their Claims or Equity Interests (as applicable) and are deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, Holders Equity Interests in Class 10 are not entitled to vote on the Plan, and the votes of such Holders shall not be solicited.

Holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 8 and 9 are either (a) Unimpaired and are, therefore, conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan pursuant to section 1126(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, or (b) Impaired and shall receive no distributions under the Plan and are, therefore, deemed to have rejected the Plan pursuant to Section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Therefore, Holders of Claims and Interests in Classes 8 and 9 are not entitled to vote on the Plan, and the votes of such Holders shall not be solicited.

25

Section 1129(a)(10) of the Bankruptcy Code shall be satisfied for purposes of Confirmation by acceptance of the Plan by an Impaired Class of Claims, determined without including acceptance of the Plan by any insider. The Debtors shall seek Confirmation pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any rejecting Class of Claims or Interests.

The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Interests, and the respective distributions and treatments under the Plan, shall take into account and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, except where otherwise provided herein, the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, reserve the right to re-classify any Allowed Claim or Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination rights relating thereto.

Any Class that does not have a Holder of an Allowed Claim or a Claim temporarily Allowed by this Court as of the date of the Confirmation Hearing shall be deemed eliminated from the Plan for purposes of voting to accept or reject the Plan and for purposes of determining acceptance or rejection of the Plan by such Class pursuant to section 1129(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code. If a Class contains Claims eligible to vote and no Holders of Claims eligible to vote in such Class vote to accept or reject the Plan, the Plan shall be deemed accepted by such Class.

To the extent Reinstated under the Plan, any distributions on account of Intercompany Claims are not being received by Holders of such Intercompany Claims on account of their Intercompany Claims but for the purposes of administrative convenience and due to the importance of maintaining the corporate structure given the various foreign affiliate-subsidiaries of the Debtors, for the ultimate benefit of the Holders of New Common Equity, to preserve ordinary course intercompany operations and in exchange for the Debtors’, Reorganized Debtors’, or Plan Administrator’s, as applicable, agreement under the Plan to make certain distributions to the Holders of Allowed Claims.

Article IV.

MEANS FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN

The Restructuring will be consummated unless the Debtors sell all or substantially all of (i) their assets or (ii) the Reorganized IronNet Equity in a Sale Transaction. The Debtors will announce publicly no later than the Confirmation Hearing whether a Restructuring will be consummated pursuant to the Plan.

26

On the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors may take all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect the Restructuring (including any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by or necessary to effectuate the Plan), and as set forth in the Restructuring Memorandum, including: (a) the execution and delivery of appropriate agreements or other documents of merger, consolidation, dissolution or reorganization containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan and that satisfy the requirements of applicable law; (b) the filing of appropriate certificates of incorporation, merger, migration, consolidation, dissolution or other organizational documents with the appropriate governmental authorities pursuant to applicable law; and (c) all other actions that the Reorganized Debtors determine are necessary or appropriate. In connection therewith, the Reorganized Debtors or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall be authorized to dissolve any of the Debtors without the necessity for any other or further actions to be taken by or on behalf of such dissolving Debtor or its shareholder or any payments to be made in connection therewith, other than the filing of a certificate of dissolution with the appropriate governmental authorities, pursuant to Section 303 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or other applicable state law.

The Confirmation Order shall and shall be deemed to, pursuant to both section 1123 and section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code, authorize, among other things, all actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect any transaction described in, approved by, contemplated by, or necessary to effectuate the Plan.

If a Plan Sale Transaction is to be consummated, upon entry of the Confirmation Order, the Debtors shall be authorized to consummate the applicable Plan Sale Transaction to the applicable Successful Bidder pursuant to the terms of the applicable Plan Sale Transaction Documentation, the Plan, and the Confirmation Order. In the event any Sale Transaction is consummated, the Sale Transaction Proceeds, the Professional Fee Escrow Amount, the Wind-Down Amount, any reserves required pursuant to the applicable Sale Transaction Documentation, the Debtors’ rights under the applicable Sale Transaction Documentation, payments made directly by the applicable Successful Bidder on account of any Assumed Liabilities under the applicable Plan Sale Transaction Documentation, payments of Cure Costs made by the applicable Successful Bidder pursuant to sections 365 or 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, and/or all Causes of Action not previously settled, released, or exculpated under the Plan, if any, shall be used to fund the distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims against the Debtors in accordance with the treatment of such Claims and subject to the terms provided in this Plan. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Debtors and the applicable Successful Bidder, distributions required by this Plan on account of Allowed Claims that are Assumed Liabilities shall be the sole responsibility of the applicable Successful Bidder even if such Claim is Allowed against the Debtors, and such Claims shall have no recovery from the Debtors under the terms of the Plan.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Debtor shall continue to exist after the Effective Date as a separate corporate Entity, limited liability company, partnership, or other form, as the case may be, with all the powers of a corporation, limited liability company, partnership, or other form, as the case may be, pursuant to the applicable law in the jurisdiction in which each Debtor is incorporated or formed and pursuant to the respective certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) in effect prior to the Effective Date, except to the extent such certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other formation documents) are amended by the Plan, by the Debtors, or otherwise, and to the extent such documents are amended, such documents are deemed to be amended pursuant to the Plan and require no further action or approval.

27

In the event of a Restructuring or Equity Sale, except as otherwise provided in the Plan (including in Article III.C) or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated herein, including the Restructuring Memorandum and agreements with respect to the Exit Facility, on the Effective Date, all property of each Estate, including all Excluded Assets (if applicable) and all Causes of Action, and any property acquired by any of the Debtors pursuant to the Plan shall vest in each respective Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances. On and after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, each Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire, or dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules, including for the avoidance of doubt any restrictions on the use, acquisition, sale, lease, or disposal of property under section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code.

On and as of the Effective Date, all indemnification obligations currently in place (whether in the bylaws, certificates of incorporation or formation, limited liability company agreements, other organizational or formation documents, board resolutions, indemnification agreements, employment contracts, or otherwise) for the current and former directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, and other Debtor Professionals, as applicable, shall be assumed or assumed and assigned and remain in full force and effect after the Effective Date, and shall survive unimpaired and unaffected, irrespective of when such obligation arose, as applicable. To the extent necessary, the New Organizational Documents adopted as of the Effective Date shall include provisions to give effect to the foregoing. None of the Reorganized Debtors shall amend and/or restate its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or similar organizational document after the Effective Date to terminate or adversely affect (1) any of the Indemnification Provisions or (2) the rights of such current and former managers, directors, officers, equity holders, members, employees, or agents of the Debtors and such current and former managers’, directors’, officers’, equity holders’, members’, employees’, and agents’ respective affiliates referred to in the immediately preceding sentence.

Except as otherwise provided for in the Plan, on the later of the Effective Date and the date on which the relevant distributions are made pursuant to Article VI: (a) (i) the obligations of the Debtors under the DIP Term Sheet, the DIP Orders, the DIP Facility, the Prepetition Bridge Loan, the C5 Notes, the Director Notes, the Prepetition Unsecured Notes, and any other note, bond, indenture, or other instrument or document directly or indirectly evidencing or creating any indebtedness of the Debtors; and (ii) any certificate, equity security, share, purchase right, option, warrant, or other instrument or document directly or indirectly evidencing or creating an ownership interest in the Debtors (except, in each case, such certificates, notes or other instruments or documents evidencing indebtedness or obligation of or ownership interest in the Debtors that are Reinstated pursuant to the Plan), shall be cancelled solely as to the Debtors and their Affiliates, and the Reorganized Debtors and their Affiliates shall not have any continuing obligations thereunder; and (b) the obligations of the Debtors and their Affiliates pursuant, relating or pertaining to any agreements, indentures, certificates of designation, bylaws or certificate or articles of incorporation or similar documents governing the shares, certificates, notes, bonds, indentures, purchase rights, options, or other instruments or documents evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of or ownership interest in the Debtors (except such agreements, certificates, notes or other instruments evidencing indebtedness or obligation of or ownership interest in the Debtors that are specifically Reinstated or entered into pursuant to the Plan) shall be released and discharged.

28

In the event of a Restructuring, the Debtors shall fund Cash distributions under the Plan with: (1) Cash on hand, including Cash from operations and the proceeds of the DIP Facility, and (2) the proceeds of the Exit Facility. Cash payments to be made pursuant to the Plan will be made by the Reorganized Debtors or the Distribution Agent in accordance with Article VI.

In the event of a Sale Transaction, the Debtors shall fund distributions under the Plan from Cash on hand (if any) and the Sale Transaction Proceeds in accordance with the terms of the Sale Transaction Documents and the Plan.

In the event of a Restructuring, Confirmation of the Plan shall be deemed to constitute approval by the Bankruptcy Court of the Exit Facility and related agreements (including all transactions contemplated thereby, such as any supplementation or additional syndication of the Exit Facility, and all actions to be taken, undertakings to be made and obligations to be incurred by the Reorganized Debtors in connection therewith, including the payment of all fees, indemnities and expenses provided for therein) and, subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, authorization for the applicable Reorganized Debtors to enter into and perform their obligations in connection with the Exit Facility.

In the event of a Restructuring, on the Effective Date, the agreements with respect to the Exit Facility shall constitute legal, valid, binding, and authorized obligations of the Reorganized Debtors, enforceable in accordance with their terms. The financial accommodations to be extended pursuant to the Exit Facility are being extended, and shall be deemed to have been extended, in good faith, for legitimate business purposes, are reasonable, shall not be subject to avoidance, recharacterization, or subordination (including equitable subordination) for any purposes whatsoever, and shall not constitute preferential transfers, fraudulent conveyances, or other voidable transfers under the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable non-bankruptcy law. On the Effective Date, all of the Liens and security interests to be granted in connection with the Exit Facility (1) shall be legal, binding, and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the collateral granted in accordance with the Exit Facility, (2) shall be deemed automatically perfected on the Effective Date, subject only to such Liens and security interests as may be permitted under in connection with the Exit Facility, and (3) shall not be subject to avoidance, recharacterization, or subordination (including equitable subordination) for any purposes whatsoever and shall not constitute preferential transfers, fraudulent conveyances, or other voidable transfers under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable non-bankruptcy law. The Reorganized Debtors and the Entities granted such Liens and security interests are authorized to make all filings and recordings, and to obtain all governmental approvals and consents necessary to establish and perfect such Liens and security interests under the provisions of the applicable state, provincial, federal, or other law (whether domestic or foreign) that would be applicable in the absence of the Plan and the Confirmation Order (it being understood that perfection shall occur automatically by virtue of the entry of the Confirmation Order, and any such filings, recordings, approvals, and consents shall not be required), and will thereafter cooperate to make all other filings and recordings that otherwise would be necessary under applicable law to give notice of such Liens and security interests to third parties.

In the event of a Restructuring, on the Effective Date, in accordance with the terms of the Plan and as further set forth in the Plan Supplement, Reorganized IronNet shall issue 100% of the New Common Equity to the DIP Lender, and Holders of IronNet Secured Note Claims, and Holders of OpCo Secured Note Claims in each case, subject to dilution by the Management Incentive Plan. The issuance of the New Common Equity by Reorganized IronNet pursuant to the Plan is authorized without the need for further corporate action, and all of the New Common Equity issued or issuable pursuant to the Plan shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.

29

Should the Reorganized Debtors elect on or after the Effective Date to reflect any ownership of the New Common Stock, including shares issued pursuant to the Equity Rights Offering, through the facilities of The Depository Trust Company, the Reorganized Debtors need not provide any further evidence other than the Plan or the Confirmation Order with respect to the treatment of the New Common Stock under applicable securities laws. The Depository Trust Company shall be required to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan and Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether the New Common Stock are exempt from registration and/or eligible for The Depository Trust Company book-entry delivery, settlement and depository services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no Entity (including, for the avoidance of doubt, The Depository Trust Company) may require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the New Common Stock is exempt from registration and/or eligible for The Depository Trust Company book-entry delivery, settlement and depository services.

The offering, issuance, and distribution of any Securities, including the New Common Equity in exchange for Claims pursuant to Article III of the Plan, shall be exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the governing certificates or instruments, any and all such New Common Equity so issued under the Plan will be freely tradable under the Securities Act by the recipients thereof, subject to: (1) the provisions of section 1145(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, and compliance with any applicable state or foreign securities laws, if any, and any rules and regulations of the SEC, if any, applicable at the time of any future transfer of such Securities or instruments; (2) the restrictions, if any, on the transferability of such Securities and instruments; and (3) any other applicable regulatory approval.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no Entity shall be entitled to require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any transaction contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the New Common Equity are exempt from registration.

In the event of a Restructuring or Equity Sale, subject to Articles IV.E and IV.F of the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors shall enter into such agreements and amend their corporate governance documents to the extent necessary to implement the terms and provisions of the Plan, which shall: (1) contain terms consistent with the Plan Supplement; (2) authorize the issuance, distribution, and reservation of the Reorganized IronNet Equity and the Employee Stock Options to the Persons or Entities entitled to receive such issuances, distributions and reservations, as applicable under the Plan; and (3) pursuant to and only to the extent required by section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, and limited as necessary to facilitate compliance with non-bankruptcy federal laws, prohibit the issuance of non-voting equity securities. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, as of the Effective Date, Reorganized IronNet shall be governed by the New Organizational Documents applicable to it. From and after the Effective Date, the organizational documents of each of the Reorganized Debtors will comply with section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable. On or immediately before the Effective Date, each Reorganized Debtor will file its New Organizational Documents with the applicable Secretary of State and/or other applicable authorities in its state of incorporation or formation in accordance with the applicable laws of its state of

30

incorporation or formation, to the extent required for such New Organizational Documents to become effective. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may amend and restate the formation, incorporation, organizational, and constituent documents, as applicable, as permitted by the laws of its jurisdiction of formation or incorporation, as applicable, and the terms of such documents.

To the fullest extent permitted by section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, any transfer from a Debtor to a Reorganized Debtor or to any Entity pursuant to or in connection with the Plan (including, if applicable, the Sale Transaction), including: (1) the issuance, distribution, transfer, or exchange of any debt, securities, or other interest in the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors; (2) the creation, modification, consolidation, or recording of any mortgage, deed of trust or other security interest, or the securing of additional indebtedness by such or other means; (3) the making, assignment, or recording of any lease or sublease; or (4) the making, delivery, or recording of any deed or other instrument of transfer under, in furtherance of, or in connection with, the Plan, including any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, or other instrument of transfer executed in connection with any transaction arising out of, contemplated by, or in any way related to the Plan, shall not be subject to any U.S. federal, state or local document recording tax, stamp tax, conveyance fee, intangibles, or similar tax, mortgage tax, real estate transfer tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and the appropriate U.S. state or local governmental officials or agents shall forego the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment and to accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax or governmental assessment.

In the event of a Restructuring, from and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized to make and to instruct any of their wholly-owned subsidiaries to make any elections available to them under applicable law with respect to the tax treatment of the Restructuring as specified in the Restructuring Memorandum.

In the event of a Sale Transaction, on and after the Plan Effective Date, the Plan Administrator shall act for the Debtors in the same fiduciary capacity as applicable to a board of managers, directors, and officers, subject to the provisions hereof (and all certificates of formation, membership agreements, and related documents are deemed amended by the Plan to permit and authorize the same). On the Effective Date, the authority, power, and incumbency of the persons acting as managers, directors, and officers of the Debtors shall be deemed to have terminated, the persons acting as managers, directors, and officers of the Debtors shall be deemed to have resigned, and a representative of the Plan Administrator shall be appointed as the sole manager and sole officer of the Debtors, and shall succeed to the powers of the Debtors’ managers, directors, and officers. From and after the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator shall be the sole representative of, and shall act for, the Debtors. The Plan Administrator shall use commercially reasonable efforts to operate in a manner consistent with the Wind-Down Budget. The Plan Administrator shall carry out any necessary functions required by the applicable Sale Transaction Documentation.

31

As of the Effective Date, the terms of the current members of the board of directors of IronNet shall expire and, without further order of the Bankruptcy Court or other corporate action by the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, the New Board shall be approved. The New Board or managers (as applicable) and the officers of the Reorganized Debtors shall be appointed in accordance with the respective New Organizational Documents. The officers and overall management structure of the Reorganized Debtors, and all officers and management decisions with respect to the Reorganized Debtors (and/or any of their direct or indirect subsidiaries), compensation arrangements, and affiliate transactions shall be subject to the required approvals and consents set forth in the New Organizational Documents.

In the event of a Restructuring, the New Board will initially consist of [__] members to be selected by the DIP Lender and C5 in accordance with the New Organizational Documents. Pursuant to section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors will, to the extent reasonably practicable, disclose in advance of Confirmation the identity and affiliations of any person proposed to serve on the New Board.

From and after the Effective Date, each director, officer, or manager of the Reorganized Debtors shall be appointed and serve pursuant to the terms of its respective charters and bylaws or other formation and constituent documents, and the New Organizational Documents, and applicable laws of the respective Reorganized Debtor’s jurisdiction of formation. To the extent that any such director or officer of the Reorganized Debtors is an “insider” pursuant to section 101(31) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors will disclose the nature of any compensation to be paid to such director or officer.

The existing officers of the Debtors as of the Effective Date shall remain in their current capacities as officers of the Reorganized Debtors, subject to the ordinary rights and powers of the New Board to remove or replace them and any applicable employment agreements that are assumed pursuant to the Plan.

In accordance with and without altering Article V.A of the Plan, (i) on the Effective Date, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Debtors’ D&O Liability Insurance Policies (including, without limitation, any “tail policy” and all agreements, documents, or instruments related thereto) in effect prior to the Effective Date pursuant to sections 105 and 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, without the need for any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court; (ii) confirmation of the Plan shall not discharge, impair, or otherwise modify any indemnity obligations assumed by the foregoing assumption of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, and each such indemnity obligation will be deemed and treated as an Executory Contract that has been assumed by the Debtors under the Plan as to which no Proof of Claim need be filed; (iii) the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall retain the ability to supplement such D&O Liability Insurance Policies as the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, may deem necessary; and (iv) for the avoidance of doubt, entry of the Confirmation Order will constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the assumption of each of the unexpired D&O Liability Insurance Policies.

32

In addition, on or after the Effective Date, none of the Reorganized Debtors shall terminate or otherwise reduce the coverage under any D&O Liability Insurance Policies (including, without limitation, any “tail policy” and all agreements, documents, or instruments related thereto) in effect on or prior to the Effective Date, with respect to conduct occurring prior thereto, and all current and former directors, officers, and managers of the Debtors who served in such capacity at any time prior to the Effective Date shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such policies for the full term of such policies regardless of whether such current and former directors, officers, and managers remain in such positions after the Effective Date, all in accordance with the terms and conditions of the D&O Liability Insurance Policies, which shall not be altered.

For the avoidance of doubt, on and after the Effective Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized to purchase a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy for the benefit of their respective directors, members, trustees, officers, and managers in the ordinary course of business.

In accordance with section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject to the releases set forth in this section and in Article IX below, and to the extent not transferred to a Successful Bidder in any Sale Transaction, all Causes of Action that a Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the applicable Reorganized Debtor or Plan Administrator on the Effective Date. Thereafter, the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of Action, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. No Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, or the Disclosure Statement to any specific Cause of Action as any indication that the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator will not pursue any and all available Causes of Action. The Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, and the Plan Administrator expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine, including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable or otherwise) or laches, shall apply to any Cause of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or the occurrence of the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan or any order entered in these Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, and Plan Administrator forever waive, relinquish, and release any and all Causes of Action the Debtors and their Estates had, have, or may have against any Released Party.

Upon the Effective Date, all actions contemplated by the Plan shall be deemed authorized, approved, and, to the extent taken prior to the Effective Date, ratified without any requirement for further action by Holders of Claims or Interests, directors, managers, or officers of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Plan Administrator, or any other Entity, including, as applicable: (1) rejection or assumption, as applicable, of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases; (2) selection of the directors, managers, and officers for the Reorganized Debtors; (3) the execution of any agreements with respect to the Exit Facility, and the filing or adoption of the New Organizational Documents; (4) the issuance and distribution of the Reorganized IronNet Equity and the Employee Stock Options; and (5) all other acts or actions contemplated, or reasonably necessary or appropriate to promptly consummate the transactions contemplated by the Plan (whether to occur before, on, or after the Effective Date). All matters provided for in the Plan involving the company structure of the Debtors, and any company action required by the Debtors in connection therewith, shall be deemed to have occurred on, and shall be in effect as of, the Effective Date, without any requirement of further action by the security holders, directors, managers, authorized persons, or officers of the Debtors.

33

On or prior to the Effective Date, the appropriate officers, directors, managers, or authorized persons of the Debtors (including any president, vice-president, chief executive officer, treasurer, general counsel, or chief financial officer thereof) shall be authorized and directed to issue, execute and deliver the agreements, documents, securities, certificates of incorporation, certificates of formation, bylaws, operating agreements, and instruments contemplated by the Plan (or necessary or desirable to effect the transactions contemplated by the Plan) in the name of and on behalf of the applicable Debtors or applicable Reorganized Debtors, including (x) any agreements or instruments with respect to the Exit Facility and the New Organizational Documents and (y) any and all other agreements, documents, securities, and instruments relating to the foregoing. The authorizations and approvals contemplated by this Article IV.S shall be effective notwithstanding any requirements under non-bankruptcy law.

Prior to, on, and after the Effective Date, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors and the directors, managers, officers, authorized persons, and members of the boards of directors or managers and directors thereof, are authorized to and may issue, execute, deliver, file, or record such contracts, securities, notes, instruments, certificates, releases, and other agreements or documents and take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement, and further evidence the terms and provisions of the Plan, agreements or instruments with respect to the Exit Facility, the New Organizational Documents, and any Securities issued pursuant to the Plan in the name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtors, without the need for any approvals, authorizations, actions, or consents except for those expressly required pursuant to the Plan.

In the event of a Restructuring, the New Board shall adopt the Management Incentive Plan. Confirmation of the Plan does not constitute the Court’s approval or endorsement of the terms of the Management Incentive Plan.

In the event of a Restructuring, following the Effective Date and subject to the terms and conditions of the New Organizational Documents, the New Board will direct the Reorganized Debtors’ determination regarding a public listing, if any, of the New Common Equity in accordance with the New Organizational Documents.

In the event of a Sale Transaction, on and after the Effective Date, in accordance with the Wind-Down Budget, the Debtors shall (1) continue in existence for purposes of (a) winding down the Debtors’ businesses and affairs as expeditiously as reasonably possible, (b) resolving Disputed Claims as provided hereunder, (c) paying Allowed Claims not assumed by the applicable Successful Bidder as provided hereunder, (d) filing appropriate tax returns, (e) complying with their continuing obligations under the applicable Sale Transaction Documentation (including with respect to the transfer of permits to the applicable Successful Bidder as contemplated therein), and (f) administering the Plan in an efficacious manner; and (2) thereafter liquidate and dissolve as set forth in the Plan. The Plan Administrator shall carry out these actions for the Debtors.

34

In the event of a Sale Transaction, on the Effective Date, the Debtors shall retain proceeds from the Wind-Down Amount in accordance with the terms of the Wind-Down Budget. Any remaining amounts in the Wind-Down Amount following all required distributions therefrom in accordance with the terms of the Wind-Down Budget shall promptly be distributed in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and this Plan.

In the event of a Sale Transaction, as of the Effective Date, the Plan Administrator shall act as the sole officer, director, and manager, as applicable, of the Debtors with respect to their affairs. Subject in all respects to the terms of this Plan, the Plan Administrator shall have the power and authority to take any action necessary to wind down and dissolve any of the Debtors, and shall be authorized to (a) file a certificate of dissolution for any of the Debtors, together with all other necessary corporate and company documents, to effect the dissolution of the Debtors under the applicable laws of the applicable state(s) of formation; and (b) complete and file all final or otherwise required federal, state, and local tax returns and shall pay taxes required to be paid for any of the Debtors, and pursuant to section 505(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, request an expedited determination of any unpaid tax liability of any of the Debtors or their Estates for any tax incurred during the administration of such Debtor’s Chapter 11 Case, as determined under applicable tax laws.

The filing by the Plan Administrator of any of the Debtors’ certificate of dissolution shall be authorized and approved in all respects without further action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule, including any action by the stockholders, members, board of directors, or board of managers of any of the Debtors or any of their Affiliates.

When all Disputed Claims have become Allowed or disallowed, the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, may seek authority from the Bankruptcy Court to close any remaining Chapter 11 Cases of the Debtors in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code and the Bankruptcy Rules.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, as of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, may file one motion seeking authority to close the Chapter 11 Cases of all of the Debtors except for Debtor IronNet and to change the caption of the Chapter 11 Cases accordingly. Nothing in the Plan shall authorize the closing of any case retroactive to a date that precedes the date any such order is entered. Any request for retroactive relief shall be made on motion served on the United States Trustee, and the Bankruptcy Court shall rule on such request after notice and a hearing. Upon the Filing of a motion to close the Chapter 11 Case of IronNet, the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall file a final report with respect to all of the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to Local Rule 3022-1(c).

35

Article V.

TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS

AND UNEXPIRED LEASES; EMPLOYEE BENEFITS; AND INSURANCE POLICIES

On the Effective Date, in the event any Plan Sale Transaction is consummated, the Assumed Contracts to be assumed and assigned in connection with such Plan Sale Transaction will be deemed assumed and assigned to the applicable Successful Bidder in accordance with the applicable Plan Sale Transaction Documentation.

On the Effective Date, in the event of a Restructuring, except as otherwise provided in herein, any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (i) not previously assumed, or (ii) not previously rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, will be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code except any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (1) identified on the Rejected Contracts List (which shall initially be filed with the Bankruptcy Court on the Plan Supplement Filing Date) as a contract or lease to be rejected, (2) that is the subject of a separate motion or notice to reject pending as of the Confirmation Date, or (3) that previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms (disregarding any terms the effect of which is invalidated by the Bankruptcy Code).

On the Effective Date, in the event of a Sale Transaction, except as otherwise provided herein, any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (i) not previously assumed, (ii) not assumed and assigned in accordance with any Sale Transaction Documentation, or (iii) not previously rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, and (iv) is not the subject of a pending motion to reject, assume or assume and assign as of the Effective Date will be deemed rejected.

Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute an order approving the assumptions or rejections of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and effective on the occurrence of the Effective Date or, as to rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, on any date after entry of the Confirmation Order identified on the Rejected Contracts List or other motion or notice to reject. Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by Bankruptcy Court order, and not assigned to a third party (including the applicable Successful Bidder in the event of a Sale Transaction) on or prior to the Effective Date, shall re-vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified by order of the Bankruptcy Court or agreement of the parties. To the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or the execution of any other Restructuring (including any “change of control” provision), then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, consummation of the Restructuring shall not be deemed an assignment of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease of the Debtors, notwithstanding any change in name, organizational form, or jurisdiction of organization of any Debtor in connection with the occurrence of the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right to amend or supplement the Rejected Contracts List in their discretion prior to the Effective Date (or such later date as may be permitted by Article V.B or Article V.E below), provided that the Debtors shall give prompt notice of any such amendment or supplement to any affected counterparty and such counterparty shall have a reasonable opportunity to object thereto on any grounds.

36

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the terms of any 363 Sale Transaction Documentation and any 363 Sale Order shall govern the cure of defaults, assumption and assignment, and compliance with section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases assumed and assigned pursuant to such 363 Sale Transaction Documentation and 363 Sale Order.

Any monetary defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the Cure Cost in Cash on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to the limitation described below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease may otherwise agree, in each case subject to any applicable Plan Sale Transaction Documentation.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full satisfaction and cure of any Claims and defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease arising at any time prior to the effective date of assumption. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption, assumption and assignment, or Cure Cost in accordance with the Contract Noticing Procedures will be deemed to have assented to such assumption, assumption and assignment, and Cure Cost.

Unless otherwise provided by a Bankruptcy Court order, any Proofs of Claim asserting Claims arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases by virtue of this Plan must be filed with the Notice and Claims Agent within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Any Proofs of Claim arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are not timely filed shall be subject to disallowance by further order of the Court upon objection on such grounds. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall constitute General Unsecured Claims and shall be treated in accordance with Article III.B of the Plan.

The Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, and, to the extent assigned to a Successful Bidder in the event of a Sale Transaction, the Successful Bidder, as applicable, will perform under any contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by any Debtor, and will be liable thereunder in the ordinary course of business.

37

Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in the Rejected Contracts List or Assumed Contracts List, as applicable, nor anything contained in the Plan or Sale Transaction Documentation, nor the Debtors’ delivery of a notice of proposed assumption and proposed Cure Cost to any contract and lease counterparties, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall have forty-five (45) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease. If there is a dispute regarding a Debtor’s or Reorganized Debtor’s liability under an assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall be authorized to move to have such dispute heard by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Article X.C of the Plan.

1. Compensation and Benefits Programs

Subject to the provisions of the Plan, all Compensation and Benefits Programs shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and, in the event of a Restructuring, with the consent of the DIP Agent, deemed assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. In the event of a Sale Transaction, the Compensation and Benefits Programs shall either be assumed and assigned upon consummation of an applicable Sale Transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Sale Transaction Documentation or, if no Successful Bidder assumes the Compensation and Benefits Programs, rejected. In the event of a Restructuring or assumption by a Successful Bidder of the Compensation and Benefits Programs, all Proofs of Claim filed for amounts due under any Compensation and Benefits Program shall be considered satisfied by the applicable agreement and/or program and agreement to assume and cure in the ordinary course as provided in the Plan.

The Restructuring, or any assumption of Compensation and Benefits Programs pursuant to the terms herein, shall not be deemed to trigger any applicable change of control, vesting, termination, acceleration or similar provisions therein. No counterparty shall have rights under a Compensation and Benefits Program assumed pursuant to the Plan other than those applicable immediately prior to such assumption.

2. Workers’ Compensation Programs

In the event of a Restructuring, as of the Effective Date, with the consent of the DIP Agent, except as set forth in the Plan Supplement, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to honor their obligations under: (1) all applicable state workers’ compensation laws; and (2) the Debtors’ written contracts, agreements, agreements of indemnity, self-insured workers’ compensation bonds, policies, programs, and plans for workers’ compensation and workers’ compensation Insurance Contracts (collectively, the “Workers’ Compensation Contracts”). In the event of a Restructuring, all Proofs of Claims on account of workers’ compensation shall, provided that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors continue to honor such obligations, be deemed withdrawn automatically, and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that nothing in the Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ defenses, Causes of Action, or other rights under applicable non-bankruptcy law with respect to the Workers’ Compensation Contracts; provided, further, that nothing herein shall be deemed to impose any obligations on the Debtors in addition to what is provided for under applicable state law and/or the Workers’ Compensation Contracts.

In the event of a Sale Transaction, the Workers’ Compensation Contracts shall either be assumed and assigned upon consummation of an applicable Sale Transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Sale Transaction Documentation or, if no Successful Bidder assumes the Workers’ Compensation Programs, rejected.

38

Article VI.

PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or a Final Order, or as agreed to by the relevant parties, distributions under the Plan on account of Claims Allowed on or before the Effective Date shall be made on the Initial Distribution Date; provided that (1) Allowed Administrative Claims and Allowed OpCo General Unsecured Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course of business or industry practice; and (2) Allowed Priority Tax Claims shall be satisfied in accordance with Article II.C herein.

1. Payments and Distributions on Disputed Claims

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, a Final Order, or as agreed to by the relevant parties, distributions on account of Disputed Claims that become Allowed after the Effective Date shall be made on the next Periodic Distribution Date that is at least thirty (30) days after the Disputed Claim becomes an Allowed Claim; provided that (a) Disputed Administrative Claims with respect to liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of business that become Allowed after the Effective Date shall be paid or performed in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms and conditions of any controlling agreements, course of dealing, course of business, or industry practice and (b) Disputed Priority Tax Claims that become Allowed Priority Tax Claims after the Effective Date shall be treated as Allowed Priority Tax Claims in accordance with Article II.C of the Plan.

2. Special Rules for Distributions to Holders of Disputed Claims

Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary and except as otherwise agreed to by the relevant parties, no partial payments and no partial distributions shall be made with respect to a Disputed Claim until all such disputes in connection with such Disputed Claim have been resolved by settlement or Final Order.

Except as otherwise provided herein, on the Initial Distribution Date each Holder of an Allowed Claim shall receive the full amount of the distributions that the Plan provides for Allowed Claims in the applicable Class. If and to the extent that any Disputed Claims exist, distributions on account of such Disputed Claims shall be made pursuant to Article VI.B and Article VII of the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, Holders of Claims shall not be entitled to interest, dividends, or accruals on the distributions provided for in the Plan, regardless of whether such distributions are delivered on or at any time after the Effective Date.

39

1. Record Date for Distributions

For purposes of making distributions on the Initial Distribution Date only, the Distribution Agent shall be authorized and entitled to recognize only those Holders of Claims reflected in the Debtors’ books and records as of the close of business on the Distribution Record Date. If a Claim, other than one based on a publicly-traded security, is transferred (a) twenty-one (21) or more days before the Distribution Record Date and reasonably satisfactory documentation evidencing such transfer is Filed with the Court, the Distribution Agent shall make the applicable distributions to the applicable transferee, or (b) twenty (20) or fewer days before the Distribution Record Date, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to the transferee only to the extent practical and, in any event, only if the relevant transfer form is Filed with the Court and contains an unconditional and explicit certification and waiver of any objection to the transfer by the transferor.

2. Delivery of Distributions in General

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Distribution Agent shall make distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims at the address for each such Holder as indicated in the Debtors’ records as of the date of any such distribution, including the address set forth in any Proof of Claim filed by that Holder, if applicable; provided that the manner of such distributions shall be determined at the discretion of the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable.

3. Delivery of Distributions on DIP Facility Claims

The DIP Agent (or the Plan Administrator, if no DIP Agent has been appointed) shall be deemed to be the Holder of all DIP Facility Claims for purposes of distributions to be made hereunder, and all distributions on account of such DIP Facility Claims shall be made to the applicable DIP Agent (or the Plan Administrator, if no DIP Agent has been appointed). As soon as practicable following the Effective Date, the DIP Agent shall arrange to deliver or direct the delivery of such distributions to or on behalf of the applicable Holders of the applicable DIP Facility Claims in accordance with the terms of the applicable DIP Facility, subject to any modifications to such distributions in accordance with the terms of the Plan. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan to the contrary, and without limiting the exculpation and release provisions of the Plan, the DIP Agent (or the Plan Administrator, if no DIP Agent has been appointed) shall not have any liability to any Entity with respect to distributions made or directed to be made by the DIP Agent (or the Plan Administrator, if no DIP Agent has been appointed).

4. Distributions by Distribution Agents

The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall have the authority to enter into agreements with one or more Distribution Agents to facilitate the distributions required hereunder. To the extent the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, determine to utilize a Distribution Agent to facilitate the distributions under the Plan to Holders of Allowed Claims, any such Distribution Agent would first be required to: (a) affirm its obligation to facilitate the prompt distribution of any documents; (b) affirm its obligation to facilitate the prompt distribution of any recoveries or distributions required under the Plan; (c) waive any right or ability to setoff, deduct from or assert any lien or encumbrance against the distributions required under the Plan to be distributed by such Distribution Agent; and (d) post a bond, obtain a surety or provide some other form of security for the performance of its duties, the costs and expenses of procuring which shall be borne by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable.

40

The Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall pay to the Distribution Agents all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Distribution Agents without the need for any approvals, authorizations, actions, or consents. The Distribution Agents shall submit detailed invoices to the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, for all fees and expenses for which the Distribution Agent seeks reimbursement and the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall pay those amounts that they, in their sole discretion, deem reasonable, and shall object in writing to those fees and expenses, if any, that the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, deem to be unreasonable. In the event that the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, object to all or any portion of the amounts requested to be reimbursed in a Distribution Agent’s invoice, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, and such Distribution Agent shall endeavor, in good faith, to reach mutual agreement on the amount of the appropriate payment of such disputed fees and/or expenses. In the event that the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, and a Distribution Agent are unable to resolve any differences regarding disputed fees or expenses, either party shall be authorized to move to have such dispute heard by the Bankruptcy Court.

5. Minimum Distributions

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, other than on account of Claims in Classes 1 and 2, the Reorganized Debtors, the Plan Administrator, and the Distribution Agents, as applicable, shall not be required to make distributions or payments of less than $100 (whether Cash or otherwise) and shall not be required to make partial distributions or payments of fractions of dollars. Whenever any payment or distribution of a fraction of a dollar or fractional share of New Common Equity under the Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment or distribution will reflect a rounding down of such fraction to the nearest whole dollar or share of New Common Equity.

6. Undeliverable Distributions

Undeliverable distributions shall remain in the possession of the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, until such time as any such distributions become deliverable or are otherwise disposed of in accordance with applicable nonbankruptcy law (notwithstanding any applicable federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws to the contrary). Undeliverable distributions shall not be entitled to any additional interest, dividends, or other accruals of any kind on account of their distribution being undeliverable. Nothing contained herein shall require the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim.

Checks issued by the Reorganized Debtors or the Plan Administrator (or their Distribution Agent) on account of Allowed Claims shall be null and void if not negotiated within 90 days after the issuance of such check. Requests for reissuance of any check shall be made directly to the Distribution Agent by the Holder of the relevant Allowed Claim with respect to which such check originally was issued.

In connection with the Plan, to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors and Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions pursuant hereto shall be subject to such

41

withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, the Reorganized Debtors, Plan Administrator, and/or the Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions or establishing any other mechanisms they believe are reasonable and appropriate, including requiring as a condition to the receipt of a distribution, that the Holders of an Allowed Claim complete an IRS Form W-8 or W-9, as applicable. The Reorganized Debtors and Plan Administrator, as applicable, reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support and other spousal awards, liens and encumbrances. For tax purposes, distributions in full or partial satisfaction of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) of Allowed Claims, with any excess allocated to unpaid interest that accrued on such Claims.

On the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each Holder of a certificate or instrument evidencing a Claim or an Equity Interest shall be deemed to have surrendered such certificate or instrument to the Distribution Agent. Such surrendered certificate or instrument shall be cancelled solely with respect to the Debtors, and except as provided otherwise under the Plan, including the Debtor Release and the Third-Party Release, such cancellation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-à-vis one another with respect to such certificate or instrument, including with respect to any indenture or agreement that governs the rights of the Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest, which shall continue in effect for purposes of allowing Holders to receive distributions under the Plan and allowing indenture trustees to exercise charging liens, priorities of payment, and indemnification rights.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Insurance Contract. Except for the releases and exculpation provisions of Article IX, nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including Insurers under any Insurance Contracts, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such Insurers of any rights or defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such Insurers under the Insurance Contracts.

Article VII.

PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING DISPUTED,

CONTINGENT, AND UNLIQUIDATED CLAIMS

After the Effective Date, and except as otherwise provided in this Plan, the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall have and shall retain any and all available rights and defenses that the Debtors had with respect to any Claim, including, without limitation, the right to assert any objection to Claims based on the limitations imposed by section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, may contest the amount and validity of any Disputed Claim or contingent or unliquidated Claim in the ordinary course of business in the manner and venue in which such Claim would have been determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced.

42

Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall have the authority: (1) to file, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to Claims; (2) to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (3) to administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

Before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection; and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the appeal relating to such objection; provided that if the Bankruptcy Court resolves the Allowed amount of a Claim, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall not be permitted to seek an estimation of such Claim). Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the relevant Reorganized Debtor or Plan Administrator, as applicable, may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim subject to applicable law.

If any portion of a Claim is Disputed, no payment or distribution provided hereunder shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim; provided that if only a portion of a Claim is Disputed, such Claim shall be deemed Allowed in the amount not Disputed and payment or distribution shall be made on account of such undisputed amount.

Any objections to Claims shall be Filed on or before the Claims Objection Deadline, subject to any extensions thereof approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

43

Article VIII.

CONFIRMATION AND THE EFFECTIVE DATE

If the Effective Date does not occur: (1) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects; (2) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan, assumption or rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases effected under the Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant to the Plan, shall be deemed null and void; and (3) nothing contained in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or the Disclosure Statement shall: (a) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action; (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or any other Entity; or (c) constitute an admission, acknowledgement, offer, or undertaking of any sort by the Debtors or any other Entity.

Article IX.

RELEASE, INJUNCTION, AND RELATED PROVISIONS

Pursuant to and to the fullest extent permitted by section 1141(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Article III.C), the distributions, rights, and treatment that are provided in the Plan shall be in full and final satisfaction, settlement, release, and discharge, effective as of the Effective Date, of all Equity Interests and Claims of any nature whatsoever, including any interest accrued on Claims from and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or any of their assets or properties, regardless of whether any property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims or Equity Interests, including demands, liabilities, and Causes of Action that arose before the Effective Date, any contingent or non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not: (1) a Proof of Claim is filed or deemed filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code; (2) a Claim is Allowed; or (3) the Holder of such Claim or Equity Interest has accepted the Plan. Except as otherwise provided herein, any default by the Debtors with respect to any Claim that existed immediately prior to or on account of the filing of the Chapter 11 Cases shall be deemed cured on the Effective Date. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims and Interests subject to the Effective Date occurring, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) nothing in this Article IX.A shall affect the rights of Holders of Claims to seek to enforce the Plan, including the distributions to which Holders of Allowed Claims are entitled under the Plan, and (ii) notwithstanding any other Plan provision to the contrary, in the event a Sale Transaction is consummated, the Debtors shall not receive a discharge, pursuant to section 1141(d)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code.

45

Pursuant to section 1123(b) and any other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Plan, effective as of the Effective Date, for good and valuable consideration provided by each of the Released Parties, the adequacy and sufficiency of which is hereby confirmed, the Debtor Releasing Parties will be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever provided a full release, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to each of the Released Parties (and each such Released Party so released shall be deemed forever released by the Debtor Releasing Parties) and their respective assets and properties (the “Debtor Release”) from any and all claims, Causes of Action, and any other debts, obligations, rights, suits, damages, actions, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, whether directly or derivatively held, existing as of the Effective Date or thereafter arising, in law, at equity or otherwise, whether for tort, contract, violations of federal or state statutory or common laws, or any other applicable international, foreign, or domestic law, rule, statute, regulation, treaty, right, duty, requirement or otherwise, based in whole or in part upon any act or omission, transaction, or other occurrence or circumstances existing or taking place prior to or on the Effective Date arising from or related in any way in whole or in part to any of the Debtors, including, without limitation, (i) the Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure Statement, this Plan, the Restructuring Documents, or the Sale Process; (ii) the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Equity Interest that is treated in this Plan; (iii) the business or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any Released Parties; (iv) the negotiation, formulation or preparation of this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan Supplement, the Restructuring Documents, any Sale Transaction Documentation, or any agreements, instruments or other documents related to any of the foregoing; (v) the restructuring of Claims or Equity Interests prior to or during the Chapter 11 Cases; (vi) the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any Equity Interest of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors; and/or (vii) the Confirmation or consummation of this Plan or the solicitation of votes on this Plan that such Debtor Releasing Party would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually, collectively, or on behalf of any Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest) or that any Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest or other Entity would have been legally entitled to assert for, or on behalf or in the name of, any Debtor, its respective Estate or any Reorganized Debtor (whether directly or derivatively) against any of the Released Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Debtor Release shall not operate to waive or release: (i) any Causes of Action arising from willful misconduct, actual fraud, or gross negligence of such applicable Released Party as determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction; and/or (ii) the rights of such Debtor Releasing Party to enforce this Plan, any Sale Transaction Documentation and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements or documents delivered under or in connection with this Plan or any Sale Transaction or assumed pursuant to this Plan or any Sale Transaction or assumed pursuant to Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court. The foregoing release shall be effective as of the Effective Date without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Person, and the Confirmation Order will permanently enjoin the commencement or prosecution by any Person or Entity, whether directly, derivatively or otherwise, of any claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, or liabilities released pursuant to this Debtor Release. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article IX.B shall or shall be deemed to (i) prohibit the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors from asserting and enforcing any claims, obligations, suits, judgments, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action or liabilities they may have against any Person that is based upon an alleged breach of a confidentiality or non-compete obligation owed to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors and/or (ii) operate as a release or waiver of any Intercompany Claims, in each case unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Plan.

46

Notwithstanding anything contained in the Plan to the contrary, pursuant to section 1123(b) and any other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, effective as of the Effective Date, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, for good and valuable consideration provided by each of the Released Parties, the adequacy and sufficiency of which is hereby confirmed, and without limiting or otherwise modifying the scope of the Debtor Release provided by the Debtor Releasing Parties above, each Non-Debtor Releasing Party, on behalf of itself and any other Persons that might seek to claim under or through such Non-Debtor Releasing Party, including any affiliates, heirs, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, managers, accountants, attorneys, Representatives, consultants, and agents, will be deemed to have conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever provided a full release to each of the Released Parties (and each such Released Party so released shall be deemed forever released by the Non-Debtor Releasing Parties) and their respective assets and properties (the “Third-Party Release”) from any and all claims, interests, Causes of Action, and any other debts, obligations, rights, suits, damages, actions, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, matured or unmatured, whether directly or derivatively held, existing as of the Effective Date or thereafter arising, in law, at equity or otherwise, whether for tort, contract, violations of federal or state statutory or common laws, or any other applicable international, foreign, or domestic law, rule, statute, regulation, treaty, right, duty, requirement or otherwise, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part upon any act or omission, transaction, or other occurrence or circumstances existing or taking place prior to or on the Effective Date arising from or related in any way in whole or in part to any of the Debtors, including, without limitation, (i) the Chapter 11 Cases, the Disclosure Statement, this Plan, the Restructuring Documents, or the Sale Process; (ii) the subject matter of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claim or Equity Interest that is treated in this Plan; (iii) the business or contractual arrangements between any Debtor and any Released Parties; (iv) the negotiation, formulation or preparation of this Plan, the Disclosure Statement, the Plan Supplement, the Restructuring Documents, any Sale Transaction Documentation, or any agreements, instruments or other documents related to any of the foregoing; (v) the restructuring of Claims or Equity Interests prior to or during the Chapter 11 Cases; (vi) the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any Equity Interest of the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors; and/or (vii) the Confirmation or consummation of this Plan or the solicitation of votes on this Plan that such Non-Debtor Releasing Party would have been legally entitled to assert (whether individually or collectively) against any of the Released Parties; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this Third-Party Release shall not operate to waive or release: (i) any Causes of Action arising from willful misconduct, actual fraud, or gross negligence of such applicable Released Party as determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction; and/or (ii) the rights of such Non-Debtor Releasing Party to enforce this Plan, any Sale Transaction Documentation and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements or documents delivered under or in connection with this Plan or any Sale Transaction or assumed pursuant to this Plan or any Sale Transaction or Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court. The foregoing release shall be effective as of the Effective Date, without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Person, and the Confirmation Order will permanently enjoin the commencement or prosecution by any Person or Entity, whether directly, derivatively or otherwise, of any claims, obligations, suits, judgments, damages, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action, or liabilities released pursuant to this Third-Party Release.

47

Effective as of the Effective Date, the Exculpated Parties shall neither have nor incur any liability to any Person or Entity for any claims or Causes of Action or for any act taken or omitted to be taken on or after the Petition Date and prior to or on the Effective Date in connection with, or related to, the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases, commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, pursuit of Confirmation and consummation of this Plan, making Distributions, the Disclosure Statement, the Sale Process, the Sale Order, or the solicitation of votes for, or Confirmation of, this Plan; the occurrence of the Effective Date; the administration of this Plan or the property to be distributed under this Plan; the issuance of securities under or in connection with this Plan; the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any asset or security of the Debtors; or the transactions or documentation in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or any other postpetition, pre-Effective Date act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with or in contemplation of the restructuring of the Debtors, the approval of the Disclosure Statement or Confirmation or consummation of this Plan; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this exculpation shall not operate to waive or release: (i) any Causes of Action arising from willful misconduct, actual fraud, or gross negligence of such applicable Exculpated Party as determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction; and/or (ii) the rights of any Person or Entity to enforce this Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements and documents delivered under or in connection with this Plan or assumed pursuant to this Plan or Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court; provided, further, that each Exculpated Party shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel concerning its respective duties pursuant to, or in connection with, the above referenced documents, actions or inactions. The foregoing exculpation shall be effective as of the Effective Date without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article IX.D shall or shall be deemed to prohibit the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors from asserting and enforcing any claims, obligations, suits, judgments, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action or liabilities they may have against any Person that is based upon an alleged breach of a confidentiality or non-compete obligation owed to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, in each case unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Plan. The Exculpation will be in addition to, and not in limitation of, all other releases, indemnities, exculpations, and any other applicable law or rules protecting such Exculpated Parties from liability.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order (and, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to Article III.C), all entities who have held, hold, or may hold Claims, Interests, Causes of Action, or liabilities that: (a) are subject to compromise and settlement pursuant to the terms of the Plan; (b) have been released pursuant to Article IX.B of the Plan; (c) have been released pursuant to Article IX.C of the Plan, (d) are subject to exculpation pursuant to Article IX.D of the Plan (but only to the extent of the exculpation provided in Article IX.D of the Plan), or (e) are otherwise discharged, satisfied, stayed or terminated pursuant to the terms of the Plan, are permanently enjoined and precluded, from and after the Effective Date, from commencing or continuing in any manner, any action or other proceeding on account of any such claims, interests, Causes of Action, or liabilities that have been compromised, released, exculpated or settled, as applicable, against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any Entity so released or exculpated (or the property or estate of any Entity, directly or indirectly, so released or exculpated) pursuant to the terms of this Plan, including C5, each DIP Lender, and each Exit Facility Lender.

48

Except as otherwise provided herein, each Reorganized Debtor or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable bankruptcy or non-bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the Holder of an Allowed Claim, may set off or recoup against any Allowed Claim and the distributions to be made pursuant to the Plan on account of such Allowed Claim, any claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor may hold against the Holder of such Allowed Claim, to the extent such claims, rights, or Causes of Action have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective Date (whether pursuant to the Plan, a Final Order or otherwise); provided that neither the failure to effect such a setoff or recoupment nor the allowance of any Claim pursuant to the Plan shall constitute a waiver or release by such Reorganized Debtor or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, of any such claims, rights, and Causes of Action.

Except as otherwise provided herein or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable distributions made pursuant to the Plan, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall be fully released and discharged, and all of the right, title, and interest of any Holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall revert to the applicable Reorganized Debtor and its successors and assigns or, in the event of a Sale Transaction, the Plan Administrator.

To the extent that any Holder of a Secured Claim that has been satisfied or discharged in full pursuant to the Plan, or any agent for such Holder, has filed or recorded publicly any Liens and/or security interests to secure such Holder’s Secured Claim, then as soon as practicable on or after the Effective Date, such Holder (or the agent for such Holder) shall take any and all steps requested by the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the Plan Administrator, or any administrative agent, collateral agent or indenture trustee under any Exit Facility (at the expense of the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable) that are necessary or desirable to record or effectuate the cancellation and/or extinguishment of such Liens and/or security interests, including the making of Uniform Commercial Code termination statements, deposit account control agreement terminations, and any other applicable filings or recordings, and the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall be entitled to file Uniform Commercial Code terminations or to make any other such filings or recordings on such Holder’s behalf.

The allowance, classification, and treatment of all Allowed Claims and Allowed Interests and the respective distributions and treatments thereof under the Plan take into account and conform to the relative priority and rights of the Claims and Interests in each Class in connection with any contractual, legal, and equitable subordination rights relating thereto, including rights of payment under the absolute priority rule, whether arising under general principles of equitable subordination, sections 510(a), 510(b), or 510(c) of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise. Pursuant to section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors reserve the right to subordinate and reclassify any Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest in accordance with any contractual, legal, or equitable subordination relating thereto.

Entry of the Confirmation Order shall mean that all modifications or amendments to the Plan since the solicitation thereof are approved pursuant to section 1127(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and do not require additional disclosure or re-solicitation under Bankruptcy Rule 3019.

Subject to the conditions to the Effective Date, the Debtors reserve the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to the entry of the Confirmation Order and to file subsequent plans of reorganization. If the Debtors revoke or withdraw the Plan or if entry of the Confirmation Order or the Effective Date does not occur, then: (1) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects; (2) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan, assumption or rejection of executory contracts or leases effected by the Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant hereto shall be deemed null and void; and (3) nothing contained in the Plan shall: (a) constitute a waiver or release of any claims by or against, or any Equity Interests in, such Debtor or any other Entity; (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or any other Entity; or (c) constitute an admission of any sort by the Debtors or any other Entity.

Article XII.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Notwithstanding Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), 6004(g), or 7062 or otherwise, upon the occurrence of the Effective Date, the terms of the Plan and the documents and instruments contained in the Plan Supplement shall be immediately effective and enforceable and deemed binding upon the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, and any and all Holders of Claims and Interests (irrespective of whether Holders of such Claims or Interests are deemed to have accepted the Plan), all Entities that are parties to or are subject to the settlements, compromises, releases, discharges, and injunctions described in the Plan, each Entity acquiring property under the Plan and any and all non- Debtor parties to Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases. The Confirmation Order shall contain a waiver of any stay of enforcement otherwise applicable, including pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 3020(e) and 7062.

52

On or before the Effective Date, the Debtors may file with the Bankruptcy Court such agreements and other documents as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate and further evidence the terms and conditions of the Plan. The Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, and all Holders of Claims receiving distributions pursuant to the Plan and all other parties in interest shall, from time to time, prepare, execute, and deliver any agreements or documents and take any other actions as may be necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions and intent of the Plan or the Confirmation Order.

The Plan shall have no force or effect unless and until the Bankruptcy Court enters the Confirmation Order. None of the filing of the Plan, any statement or provision contained in the Plan, or the taking of any action by any Debtor with respect to the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Plan Supplement shall be or shall be deemed to be an admission or waiver of any rights of any Debtor with respect to the Holders of Claims or Interests prior to the Effective Date.

The rights, benefits, and obligations of any Entity named or referred to in the Plan shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of any heir, executor, administrator, successor or assign, affiliate, officer, director, agent, representative, attorney, beneficiaries or guardian, if any, of each Entity.

53

Any notice, direction or other communication given regarding the matters contemplated by this Plan must be in writing, sent by personal delivery, electronic mail or courier, and addressed as follows:

54

After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, have authority to send a notice to Entities that, to continue to receive documents pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002, they must file a renewed request to receive documents pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, are authorized to limit the list of Entities receiving documents pursuant to a pre-Effective request under Bankruptcy Rule 2002 to those Entities who have filed renewed requests pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002; provided that the Reorganized Debtors or the Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall also provide notice of any post Effective Date matters to any entity that has a direct pecuniary interest in the relief sought by the pleading.

In accordance with Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 3020(c), within ten (10) Business Days of the date of entry of the Confirmation Order, the Debtors shall serve the Notice of Confirmation by United States mail, first class postage prepaid, by hand, or by overnight courier service to all parties served with the Confirmation Hearing Notice; provided that no notice or service of any kind shall be required to be mailed or made upon any Entity to whom the Debtors mailed a Confirmation Hearing Notice, but received such notice returned marked “undeliverable as addressed,” “moved, left no forwarding address” or “forwarding order expired,” or similar reason, unless the Debtors have been informed in writing by such Entity, or are otherwise aware, of that Entity’s new address, provided that the Debtors are unable to ascertain new address information for such Entity after a commercially reasonable search. Mailing of the Notice of Confirmation in the time and manner set forth in this paragraph shall be good and sufficient notice under the particular circumstances and in accordance with the requirements of Bankruptcy Rules 2002 and 3020(c), and no further notice is necessary.

Unless otherwise provided in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays in effect in the Chapter 11 Cases pursuant to sections 105 or 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any order of the Bankruptcy Court, and extant on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order) shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date. All injunctions or stays contained in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

On the Effective Date, the Confirmation Order, Plan, and the Plan Supplement supersede all previous and contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations on such subjects.

Unless a rule of law or procedure is supplied by federal law (including the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules) or unless otherwise specifically stated, the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws, shall govern the rights, obligations, construction, and implementation of the Plan, any agreements, documents, instruments, or contracts executed or entered into in connection with the Plan (except as otherwise set forth in those agreements, in which case the governing law of such agreement shall control), and corporate governance matters; provided that corporate governance matters relating to Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, not incorporated in Delaware shall be governed by the laws of the state of incorporation of the applicable Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable.

55

All exhibits and documents included in the Plan Supplement are incorporated into and are a part of the Plan as if set forth in full in the Plan. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, such exhibits and documents included in the Plan Supplement shall initially be filed with the Bankruptcy Court on or before the Plan Supplement Filing Date to the extent practicable. After the exhibits and documents are filed, copies of such exhibits and documents shall be made available upon written request to the Debtors’ counsel at the address above or by downloading such exhibits and documents from the Debtors’ restructuring website at https://cases.stretto.com/ironnet or the Bankruptcy Court’s website at www.deb.uscourts.gov.

If, prior to Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall have the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be applicable as altered or interpreted. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is: (1) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (2) integral to the Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the consent of the Debtors; and (3) nonseverable and mutually dependent.

To the extent that any provision of the Disclosure Statement, or any order entered prior to Confirmation (for avoidance of doubt, not including the Confirmation Order) referenced in the Plan (or any exhibits, appendices, supplements, or amendments to any of the foregoing), conflict with or are in any way inconsistent with any provision of the Plan, the Plan shall govern and control. To the extent that any provision of the Plan conflicts with or is in any way inconsistent with any provision of the Confirmation Order, the Confirmation Order shall govern and control.

The Committee shall dissolve, and the current and former members of the Committee shall be released and discharged from all rights and duties arising from, or related to, the Chapter 11 Cases on the Effective Date; provided that the Committee and its professionals shall have the right to file, prosecute, review, and object to any applications for compensation and reimbursement of expenses filed in accordance with Article II.A.2 hereof.

The Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and each of their respective current and former officers, directors, members (including ex officio members), managers, employees, partners, advisors, attorneys, professionals, accountants, investment bankers, investment advisors, actuaries, affiliates, financial advisors, consultants, agents, and other representatives of each of the foregoing Entities (whether current or former, in each case in his, her or its capacity as such), shall be deemed to have acted in “good faith” under section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.

IronNet, Inc. (“IronNet”) and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, as debtors and debtors in possession (collectively, the “Debtors”) in the above-captioned chapter 11 cases (the “Chapter 11 Cases”), are providing you with the information in this Disclosure Statement because you may be a creditor of the Debtors and may be entitled to vote on the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of the Debtors (including all exhibits and schedules thereto, and as maybe amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time, the “Plan”). The Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit A. All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein have the definition given to them in the Plan.

The Debtors believe that the Plan is in the best interests of the Debtors’ creditors and other stakeholders. All creditors entitled to vote on the Plan are urged to vote in favor of the Plan. A summary of the voting instructions is set forth in Article [I.B] of this Disclosure Statement and in the Disclosure Statement Order (Docket No. [•])]. More detailed instructions are contained in the Ballots distributed to the creditors entitled to vote on the Plan. To be counted, your Ballot must be properly completed and returned to the Voting Agent (as applicable) in accordance with the voting instructions on such Ballot and actually received by the Voting Agent (as defined herein), via regular mail, overnight courier, or personal delivery at the appropriate address or via the Voting Agent’s ballot upload site, by the Voting Deadline.

This Disclosure Statement, the Plan Supplement, and any attachments, exhibits, supplements and annexes hereto are the only documents to be used in connection with the solicitation of votes on the Plan, and also may not be relied upon for any purpose other than to determine how to vote on the Plan. Neither the Bankruptcy Court nor the Debtors have authorized any person to give any information or to make any representation in connection with the Plan or the solicitation of acceptances of the Plan other than as contained in this Disclosure Statement, the Plan Supplement, and any attachments, exhibits, supplements or annexes attached hereto. If given or made, such information or representation may not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Bankruptcy Court or the Debtors. The delivery of this Disclosure Statement will not under any circumstances represent that the information herein is correct as of any time after the date hereof.

This Disclosure Statement shall not constitute an offer to sell, or solicitation of an offer to buy, nor will there be any distribution of, any of the securities described herein until the Effective Date of the Plan.

ALL CREDITORS ENTITLED TO VOTE ON THE PLAN ARE ENCOURAGED TO READ AND CAREFULLY CONSIDER THIS ENTIRE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, INCLUDING THE RISK FACTORS DESCRIBED IN ARTICLE [XI] BELOW, THE PLAN ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT A, AND THE PLAN SUPPLEMENT BEFORE SUBMITTING BALLOTS IN RESPONSE TO SOLICITATION OF THE PLAN.

The summaries of the Plan and other documents contained in this Disclosure Statement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Plan itself, the exhibits thereto that will be included in the Plan Supplement, and documents described therein as filed prior to approval of this Disclosure Statement or subsequently as part of the Plan Supplement. In the event that any inconsistency or conflict exists between this Disclosure Statement and the Plan, or between the Plan Supplement and the Plan, the terms of the Plan will control. Except as otherwise indicated herein or in the Plan, the Debtors will file all Plan Supplement documents with the Bankruptcy Court and make them available for review at the Debtors’ document website located online at https://cases.stretto.com/ironnet no later than Seven (7) Days before the Confirmation Hearing.

This Disclosure Statement contains, among other things, descriptions and summaries of provisions of the Plan. The Debtors reserve the right to modify the Plan consistent with section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3019, subject to the terms of the Plan. The statements contained in this Disclosure Statement are made only as of the date of this Disclosure Statement, and there can be no assurance that the statements contained herein will be correct at any time after this date. The information contained in this

iv

Disclosure Statement, including the information regarding the history, businesses and operations of the Debtors, the financial information regarding the Debtors and the liquidation analyses relating to the Debtors, is included for purposes of soliciting acceptances of the Plan, but, as to contested matters and adversary proceedings (if any), is not to be construed as an admission or stipulation, but rather as a statement made in settlement negotiations as part of the Debtors’ attempt to settle and resolve claims and controversies pursuant to the Plan. This Disclosure Statement will not be admissible in any non-bankruptcy proceeding, nor will it be construed to be conclusive advice on the tax, securities or other legal effects of the Plan as to Holders of Claims against, or Interests in, either the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors. Except where specifically noted, the financial information contained in this Disclosure Statement and in its exhibits has not been audited by a certified public accountant and has not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

The Debtors believe that the solicitation of votes on the Plan made in connection with this Disclosure Statement is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and related state statutes by reason of the exemption provided by section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The effectiveness of the Plan is subject to material conditions precedent. See Article [V.F] below and Article [VIII] of the Plan. There is no assurance that these conditions will be satisfied or waived.

If the Plan is confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court and the Effective Date occurs, all Holders of Claims against, and Interests in, the Debtors (including without limitation those Holders who do not submit Ballots to accept or reject the Plan or who are not entitled to vote on the Plan), will be bound by the terms of the Plan and the transactions contemplated thereby, including (except for those Holders entitled to, and who do, opt out) the third-party releases contained therein.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Disclosure Statement contains forward-looking statements based primarily on the current expectations of the Debtors and projections about future events and financial trends affecting the financial condition of the Debtors’ businesses and assets. Forward-looking statements can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “subject to,” “believe,” “anticipate,” “plan,” “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “project,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “would,” “could,” “can,” the negatives thereof, variations thereon and similar expressions, or by discussions of strategy. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described below in Article [XI]. In light of these risks and uncertainties, the forward-looking events and circumstances discussed in this Disclosure Statement may not occur, and actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements. The Debtors do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT HAS BEEN PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 1125 OF THE BANKRUPTCY CODE AND BANKRUPTCY RULE 3016 AND NOT NECESSARILY IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL OR STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR OTHER NON-BANKRUPTCY LAWS.

INTRODUCTION

This is the disclosure statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) of IronNet, Inc., IronNet Cybersecurity, Inc., IronNet International, LLC, IronCAD LLC, and HighDegree, LLC (each, a “Debtor,” and collectively, the “Debtors”) in the above-captioned Chapter 11 Cases pending in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), filed pursuant to section 1125 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) and in connection with the Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of IronNet, Inc. and Its Debtor Affiliates Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code dated [•], 2023 (the “Plan”).²

The Debtors are proposing the Plan following extensive arm’s-length, good-faith discussions with certain of their key stakeholders. In connection with negotiating the Plan, the Debtors and Holders of the Debtors’ funded indebtedness exchanged several proposals and counter-proposals regarding the terms of a comprehensive restructuring, and the parties conferred on numerous occasions in an attempt to achieve consensus with respect to the same. The Plan reflects such a consensus, and the Debtors and the Consenting Prepetition Lenders believe the Plan represents the best available option for all creditors and parties in interest.

Having agreed with their key creditor constituencies on the principal terms of the Restructuring, which enjoys broad-based support, the Debtors are also pursuing a competitive sale process for their assets (or reorganized equity). The goal of the dual-track process is to allow for the Debtors to pursue one of the following options: (i) proceed to confirmation with the Proposed Plan; (ii) pursue a Sale Transaction, and distribute the sale proceeds pursuant to the Proposed Plan; or (iii) pursue confirmation of the Proposed Plan with an Alternate Plan Sponsor (as defined herein). To that end, on [•], 2023, the Debtors filed a motion with the Bankruptcy Court (the “Bidding Procedures Motion”), seeking authorization to conduct a competitive and robust sale process, which the Debtors believe will ensure that they maximize the value of their assets (or reorganized equity). On [•], 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Bidding Procedures Order.

Under the Bidding Procedures and the Plan, the reorganized equity or assets of the Debtors will be marketed pursuant to the Bidding Procedures Order, which shall permit bids to acquire all or substantially all of the assets (or reorganized equity) of the Debtors.

To be a qualified bid, a third party bid must exceed $[•] (the “Minimum Qualified Bid”) and meet the other requirements established in the Bidding Procedures for the submission of qualified bids. In the event that at least one Minimum Qualified Bid is obtained, the Debtors shall conduct an auction to determine the highest or otherwise best bid for the Debtors’ assets (or reorganized equity). Any Qualified Bidder (as defined in the Bidding Procedures Motion), including the DIP Agent, that has a valid and perfected lien on any assets of the Debtors’ estates shall be entitled to credit bid all or a portion of the face value of such secured party’s claims against the Debtors. The DIP Agent shall be deemed to be a Qualified Bidder and, subject to section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code and to such party’s compliance with the Bidding Procedures, may submit a credit bid of all or any portion of the aggregate amount of their respective secured claims, including any postpetition financing claims, pursuant to section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code at any time during the auction, and any such credit bid will be considered a Qualified Bid.

In full and final satisfaction, settlement, release and discharge of and in exchange for release [•].

In addition, the Plan includes certain release, injunctive, and exculpatory provisions described in greater detail below.

This Disclosure Statement sets forth certain information regarding the prepetition operating and financial history of the Debtors, the events leading up to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, material events that have occurred during the Chapter 11 Cases, and the anticipated organization, operations, and capital structure of the Reorganized Debtors if the Plan is confirmed, the Effective Date occurs, and a Restructuring has been consummated. This Disclosure Statement also describes terms and provisions of the Plan, including certain effects of confirmation and effectiveness of the Plan, certain risk factors (including those associated with any securities to be issued under the Plan), the manner in which distributions will be made under the Plan, and certain alternatives to the Plan.

On [•], 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Disclosure Statement Order (Docket No. [•]) approving this Disclosure Statement as containing “adequate information,” i.e., information of a kind and in sufficient detail to enable a hypothetical reasonable investor to make an informed judgment about the Plan.

THE BANKRUPTCY COURT’S APPROVAL OF THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT CONSTITUTES NEITHER A GUARANTY OF THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE INFORMATION CONTAINED HEREIN NOR AN ENDORSEMENT BY THE BANKRUPTCY COURT OF THE MERITS OF THE PLAN.

A. Material Terms of the Plan

The Plan is the product of extensive, vigorous, arm’s-length and good-faith negotiations among the Debtors and the Consenting Prepetition Lenders. The Debtors are pursuing on parallel paths both the Restructuring and a Sale Transaction. Any Sale Transaction may be implemented pursuant to the Plan and the Confirmation Order or pursuant to a separate 363 Sale Order. The Debtors may sell all or substantially all of their assets or the Reorganized IronNet Equity in a Sale Transaction under the Plan or a 363 Sale Order, in which case the proceeds thereof shall be distributed in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Plan, the Debtors will be wound down, and the Restructuring will not occur. If the Debtors do not sell all or substantially all of their assets or the Reorganized IronNet Holdings Equity under the Plan or a 363 Sale Order, they will consummate the Restructuring.

In the event of a Restructuring, the Plan will allow the Debtors to strengthen their balance sheet as described more fully herein, and will also ensure that the Debtors continue to operate as a going concern.

The Debtors believe that the implementation of the Plan is in the best interests of the Debtors and their stakeholders. For all of the reasons described in this Disclosure Statement, the Debtors urge you to return your Ballot accepting the Plan by the Voting Deadline, which is [•], 2023, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

The following table summarizes the material terms of the Plan and certain related agreements. For additional description of the Plan, please refer to the discussion in Article [V] (entitled “SUMMARY OF THE PLAN”) of this Disclosure Statement, and the Plan itself:

The Disclosure Statement Order (Docket No. [•]) approved certain procedures governing the solicitation of votes on the Plan from Holders of Claims against the Debtors, including setting the deadline for voting, which Holders of Claims are eligible to receive Ballots to vote on the Plan, and other voting procedures.

THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT ORDER IS HEREBY INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE AS THOUGH FULLY SET FORTH HEREIN. YOU SHOULD READ THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT ORDER, THE CONFIRMATION HEARING NOTICE, AND THE INSTRUCTIONS ATTACHED TO YOUR BALLOT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS SECTION, AS THEY SET FORTH IN DETAIL PROCEDURES GOVERNING VOTING DEADLINES AND OBJECTION DEADLINES.

Although proposed jointly for administrative purposes, the Plan constitutes a separate Plan for each Debtor for the resolution of outstanding Claims and Interests pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code.    Each Debtor is a proponent of the Plan within the meaning of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The classification of Claims and Interests set forth in the Plan shall be deemed to apply separately with respect to each Plan proposed by each Debtor, as applicable. The Plan does not contemplate substantive consolidation of any of the Debtors.

13

Under the Bankruptcy Code, only Holders of Claims or Interests in “impaired” classes are entitled to vote on the Plan (unless, for reasons discussed below, such Holders are deemed to reject the Plan pursuant to section 1126(g) of the Bankruptcy Code). Under section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, a class of claims or interests is deemed to be “impaired” unless (i) the plan leaves unaltered the legal, equitable, and contractual rights to which such claim or interest entitles the Holder thereof or (ii) notwithstanding any legal right to an accelerated payment of such claim or interest, the plan cures all existing defaults (other than defaults resulting from the occurrence of events of bankruptcy) and reinstates the maturity of such claim or interest as it existed before the default.

The following table summarizes which Classes are Impaired and which of those Classes are entitled to vote on the Plan. The table is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan.

14

Accordingly, only Holders of record of Claims in Classes 3, 4, 5, and 7 as of [•], 2023, the Voting Record Date established by the Debtors for purposes of the solicitation of votes on the Plan, are entitled to vote on the Plan. If your Claim or Interest is not in one of these Classes, you are not entitled to vote on the Plan and you will not receive a Ballot with this Disclosure Statement. If your Claim is in one of these Classes, you should read your Ballot and follow the listed instructions carefully. Please use only the Ballot that accompanies this Disclosure Statement.

A vote on the Plan may be disregarded if the Bankruptcy Court determines, pursuant to section 1126(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, that it was not cast, solicited or procured in good faith or in accordance with the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Disclosure Statement Order (Docket No. [•]) also sets forth assumptions and procedures for determining the amount of Claims that each creditor is entitled to vote in these Chapter 11 Cases and how votes will be counted under various scenarios.

Your vote on the Plan is important. The Bankruptcy Code requires as a condition to confirmation of a plan of reorganization that each class that is impaired and entitled to vote under a plan votes to accept such plan, unless the plan is being confirmed under the “cramdown” provisions of section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. Section 1129(b) permits confirmation of a plan of reorganization, notwithstanding the non-acceptance of the plan by one or more impaired classes of claims or equity interests, so long as at least one impaired class of claims or interests votes to accept a proposed plan, without counting votes cast by insiders. Under that section, a plan may be confirmed by a bankruptcy court if it does not “discriminate unfairly” and is “fair and equitable” with respect to each non-accepting class. The Debtors are seeking confirmation pursuant to section 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The Bankruptcy Code defines acceptance of a plan by a class of claims as acceptance by Holders of at least two-thirds (²⁄₃) in dollar amount and more than one-half (¹⁄₂) in number of the claims of that class that cast ballots for acceptance or rejection of a plan. Thus, acceptance by a class of claims occurs only if at least two-thirds (²⁄₃) in dollar amount and a majority in number of the Holders of claims voting cast their ballots to accept the plan.

The Solicitation Materials sent to Holders of Claims entitled to vote on the Plan contain:

15

In addition, the following materials were sent to Holders of Claims and Interests not in voting Classes and Holders of Unclassified Claims:

The following materials were sent to counterparties to executory contracts and unexpired leases:

Further, the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, and, once they are filed, all exhibits to both documents (including the Plan Supplement) will be made available online at no charge at the website maintained by the Debtors’ Voting Agent at https://cases.stretto.com/ironnet. The Debtors will provide parties in interest (at no charge) with hard copies of the Plan and/or Disclosure Statement, as well as any exhibits thereto, upon request to the Voting Agent by email at [INSERT EMAIL] or by telephone for U.S. callers at [INSERT NUMBER] and for international callers at [INSERT NUMBER].

If you are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan, one or more Ballots has been enclosed in your Solicitation Materials for the purpose of voting on the Plan. Please vote and return your Ballot(s) in accordance with the instructions accompanying your Ballot(s).

Prior to voting on the Plan, you should carefully review (1) the Plan and the Plan Supplement, (2) this Disclosure Statement, (3) the Disclosure Statement Order, (4) the Confirmation Hearing Notice, and (5) the detailed instructions accompanying your Ballot(s).

Each Ballot has been coded to reflect the Class of Claims it represents. Accordingly, in voting to accept or reject the Plan, you must use only the coded Ballot or Ballots sent to you with this Disclosure Statement.

In order to be counted, all Ballots must be properly completed in accordance with the voting instructions on the Ballot or Master Ballot and actually received by the Voting Agent no later than the Voting Deadline (i.e., [•], 2023, at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time)) through one of the following means:

16

Detailed instructions for completing and transmitting Ballots are included with the Ballots and provided in the Solicitation Materials.

If the Voting Agent receives more than one timely, properly completed Ballot with respect to a single Claim prior to the Voting Deadline, the vote that will be counted for purposes of determining whether sufficient acceptances required to confirm the Plan have been received will be the vote recorded on the timely, properly completed Ballot, as determined by the Voting Agent, received last with respect to such Claim, provided that, if both a paper Ballot and electronic Ballot are submitted timely on account of the same General Unsecured Claim(s), the electronic Ballot shall supersede and revoke the paper Ballot.

If you are a Holder of a Claim who is entitled to vote on the Plan and did not receive a Ballot, received a damaged Ballot, or lost your Ballot, or if you have any questions concerning the Disclosure Statement, the Plan, the Ballot, or the procedures for voting on the Plan, please contact the Voting Agent at the phone numbers or email address listed above.

Before voting on the Plan, each Holder of a Claim in Classes [3], [4], or [5] should read, in its entirety, this Disclosure Statement, the Plan and the Plan Supplement, the Disclosure Statement Order (Docket No. [•]), the Confirmation Hearing Notice, and the instructions accompanying the Ballot(s). These documents contain important information concerning how Claims are classified for voting purposes and how votes will be tabulated. Holders of Claims entitled to vote are also encouraged to review the relevant provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules and/or consult their own attorney.

The Bankruptcy Code requires the Bankruptcy Court, after notice, to hold a hearing on whether the Debtors have fulfilled the confirmation requirements of section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Confirmation Hearing has been scheduled for [•], 2023, at a.m./p.m (Eastern Time), before the Honorable Judge Brendan Linehan Shannon, United States Bankruptcy Judge for the District of Delaware, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, located at 824 North Market Street, 6th Floor, Courtroom #1, Wilmington, Delaware. The Confirmation Hearing may be adjourned from time to time by the Bankruptcy Court without further notice. Any objection to Confirmation must (a) be in writing; (b) state the name and address of the objecting party and the nature of the Claim or Interest held by such party; (c) state with particularity the basis and nature of any objection or response and include, where appropriate, proposed language to be inserted in the Plan to resolve any such objection or response; and (d) be filed, together with proof of service, with the Bankruptcy Court and served so as to be actually received on or before [•], 2023, at 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time).

OVERVIEW OF THE DEBTORS’ OPERATIONS

IronNet, Inc. is the publicly-traded parent company and is the direct or indirect parent of all of the other Debtors in these Chapter 11 Cases, as well as their non-Debtor affiliates (the Debtors and their non-Debtor affiliates, together, collectively the “Company” or “IronNet”).

A detailed organizational chart containing both Debtor and non-Debtor affiliates is attached hereto as Exhibit C. A condensed version of the chart including only the Debtors is set forth below:

18

IronNet, Inc. was founded in 2014 by General Keith Alexander, a retired four-star general of the United States Army, in order to solve the major cybersecurity problem he witnessed and defined during his tenure as former head of the National Security Agency (NSA) and founding Commander of the United States Cyber Command: You can’t defend against threats you can’t see.

On August 26, 2021, IronNet expanded its capabilities through a business combination (the “Business Combination”) between IronNet and LGL Systems Acquisition Corp., which resulted in IronNet becoming a publicly traded company. The transaction resulted in gross proceeds of approximately $136.7 million to IronNet, which IronNet used to generally support corporate infrastructure for growth and global expansion. All IronNet shareholders rolled 100% of their equity holdings into the new public company created by the Business Combination.

In response to significant financial struggles and tightening liquidity, on June 16, 2023, IronNet entered into a Letter Agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with C5 CC Ferrous, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “JV,” and together with IronNet, the “Parties”), which went effective on July 11, 2023. The JV is an affiliate of C5 Capital Limited (“C5”), a beneficial owner of more than 5% of IronNet’s outstanding common stock. Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the JV agreed to provide certain funding to IronNet, and IronNet has agreed to take certain steps, including with respect to the privatization of IronNet and the de-listing from the public securities markets. Specifically, the Letter Agreement obligated IronNet to (a) identify and effectuate a stock split structure for IronNet and implement a related recapitalization involving the issuance of preferred stock to the JV, (b) become current in its Exchange Act reporting obligations, (c) file a proxy statement relating to the planned stock split and the issuance of a series of preferred stock in connection with a contemplated recapitalization, and (d) take all steps otherwise necessary to consummate the take private transaction contemplated by the Letter Agreement (the “Take-Private Transaction”).

19

In connection with the Letter Agreement, on July 11, 2023, IronNet appointed Linda Zecher as its Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”), and on the same day, the board of directors of IronNet (the “Board”), upon recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board, appointed Ms. Zecher as a director of IronNet. Ms. Zecher is the Debtors’ current CEO, and also previously served as Chairman of C5.

IronNet has its headquarters in McLean, Virginia, and has operations in the United States, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. As of January 31, 2023, IronNet had 104 full-time employees. Of these employees, 96 were in the United States and eight were in international locations. On September 2, 2023, as a result of its liquidity position, IronNet furloughed almost all of its employees. On September 29, 2023, given the unavailability of additional sources of liquidity and after considering strategic alternatives, as described in greater detail below, all remaining employees of IronNet were terminated.

IronNet is a global cybersecurity company, which competes in the Network Detection and Response (“NDR”) category, which is a growing aspect of modern enterprise security. IronNet distinguishes itself from its competitors through its pioneering Collective Defense Platform, a revolutionary solution that empowers organizations to identify, intercept, and neutralize advanced cyber-attacks with unprecedented speed and efficiency. This platform serves as a real-time early-warning system, providing timely, actionable, and contextual alerts and intelligence on threats aimed at enterprise networks.

The Collective Defense Platform is comprised of IronNet’s IronDefense, introduced in 2016, and IronDome, introduced in 2018, products, from which IronNet derives the majority of its revenue. IronDefense is an advanced network detection and response cybersecurity product that uses artificial intelligence driven behavioral analytics to detect and prioritize anomalous activity inside enterprises. IronDome is a threat-sharing solution that facilitates a crowdsource-like environment in which the IronDefense threat detections from an individual company are shared among members of the Collective Defense Platform community, which consists of IronNet’s customers who have elected to permit their information to be anonymously shared and cross-correlated by IronNet’s IronDome systems.

In late-2022, IronNet introduced IronRadar, an easy-to-install threat intelligence feed that enables cybersecurity teams to proactively detect and block ransomware command and control (“C2”) infrastructure before an attack, expanding our offering with a solution intended for, and obtainable by, organizations of all sizes.

IronNet’s go-to-market strategy for the Collective Defense platform as driving a critical public-private partnership for cybersecurity that is needed to better secure companies, sectors and nations at a time when a siloed approach to cyber defense is no longer practical and detection and response must be nearly real-time. The approach is to secure as partners and customers both large public sector entities, including both government, military, and their supply chains, as well as large, private sector organizations with a sophisticated cyber stack and frequently businesses that support critical infrastructure. IronNet’s goal over time is to reach a level of scale and sector diversity from organizations of similar industry sector, state, country, supply chain, or tailored business ecosystem such that as each Collective Defense community grows, so does the volume of shared data, and the value of our platform for each of those members thereby expands both technically and commercially.

Currently, some of the world’s largest enterprises, US government organizations, high-profile brands, and foreign governments trust IronNet to protect their networks. IronNet’s customers are diversified across multiple industries including energy, communications, government, space development, financial services, and healthcare. Our value proposition particularly resonates at the current time with organizations protecting critical infrastructure.

20

In sum, IronNet takes a differentiated and potentially transformational approach to the cybersecurity problem facing every organization today. With an ever-increasing cybersecurity threat posed by advanced persistent threat (“APT”) actors, IronNet’s team of experts, many with national security experience, has developed a solution that automates and scales knowledge about how APTs operate and their tactics, techniques and procedures, in order to defeat them; few individuals and even fewer companies have that knowledge or capability.

Debtors’ 2022 Revenue

Revenues was $27.3 million for the year ended January 31, 2023, representing a .2% decrease under the year ended January 31, 2022.

Overview of the Debtors’ Funded Debt

As described in further detail below, the Debtors’ funded debt consists of secured notes, the Bridge Facility, and Prepetition Unsecured Notes. A summary of the Debtors’ prepetition funded debt is provided below:

21

Director and C5 Notes—Secured

In December 2022, April 2023, May 2023, and August 2023, IronNet issued and sold senior secured promissory notes in an aggregate principal amount of $8,475,000 (the “Director Notes”) to a total of eight lenders (the “Director Noteholders”). The Director Notes bear interest at a rate of 13.8% per annum. None of the Director Noteholders have received payments on account of their Director Notes.³

On December 30, 2022, IronNet issued a senior secured convertible promissory note in the principal amount of $2,000,000 (the “C5 Note”) to an affiliate of C5 (together with the Director Noteholders, the “Prepetition Secured Creditors”), a beneficial owner of more than 5% of IronNet’s outstanding common stock. In January 2023, February 2023, April 2023, May 2023, and September 2023, IronNet issued additional senior secured convertible promissory notes to affiliates of C5 (together with the C5 Note, the “C5 Notes”) in principal amounts of $3,000,000, $6,250,000, $600,000, $2,300,000, and $300,000, respectively. Each of the C5 Notes bears interest at a rate of 13.8% per annum.

IronNet’s obligations under the Director Notes and the C5 Notes are secured by substantially all of IronNet’s assets, excluding intellectual property.

As of the Petition Date, approximately $25,300,00 of indebtedness under the C5 Notes and Director Notes was outstanding, which amount is comprised of $23,800,000 in principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest, premiums, and fees in the amount of $1,500,000.

22

Prepetition Bridge Facility – Secured

Pursuant to DIP Term Sheet and the applicable documentation (the “Bridge Documentation”), an affiliate of C5, as bridge lender (the “Bridge Lender”), advanced $1,244,000 to the Debtors on October 10, 2023 and $256,000 to the Debtors on October 11, 2023 to allow for the orderly transition of the Debtors into these chapter 11 cases (the “Bridge Facility Obligations”). Pursuant to the Bridge Documentation, each Debtor granted to the Bridge Lender a security interest in and lien on all assets of each Debtor (the “Bridge Facility Liens”). On October 12, 2023, the Bridge Lender filed a UCC-1, as well as certain intellectual property security agreements, against each Debtor perfecting the Bridge Facility Liens.

KORR Note—Unsecured

On July 21, 2023, IronNet issued that certain secured promissory to Korr Acquisitions Group, Inc. (“Korr”) in the aggregate principal amount of $500,000 (the “Korr Note”). The Korr Note is purportedly secured by receivables owing from time to time to IronNet under certain support, solutions or services contracts. IronNet cannot verify that a UCC-1 has been filed with respect to the Korr Note. IronNet believes $513,608 is outstanding under the Korr Note as of the Petition Date.

3i Note – Unsecured

On September 14, 2022, IronNet entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) with 3i, LP (“3i”), under which IronNet agreed to sell and issue senior unsecured convertible promissory notes to 3i in an aggregate principal amount of up to approximately $25,800,000, which are convertible into shares of common stock. On September 15, 2022, IRNT issued a convertible note under the SPA in the aggregate principal amount of $10,300,000 (the “3i Note”). On August 23, 3023, 3i sent a Notice of Default stating that, among other things, IronNet is in purported payment default and purported covenant default under the 3i Note. IronNet believes $7,900,000 outstanding under the 3i Note as of the Petition Date.

Equity Interests

IronNet is authorized to issue 100,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $0.0001 per share with such designation, rights and preferences as may be determined from time to time by IronNet’s board of directors. At January 31, 2023, there were no shares of preferred stock issued or outstanding.

On November 12, 2019, Legacy LGL sold 17,250 units at a price of $10.00 per unit (the “Units”) in its Initial Public Offering, which included the full exercise by the underwriters of the over-allotment option to purchase an additional 2,250 units. Each Unit consisted of one share of Legacy LGL Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and one-half of one warrant to purchase one share of Legacy LGL Class A common stock (the “Public Warrants”). Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares at a price of $11.50 per share. No fractional shares will be issued upon exercise of the Public Warrants. The Public Warrants became exercisable in September 2021 and will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. Once the Public Warrants became exercisable upon the effective date of IronNet’s S-1 registration statement filed in September 2021, IronNet obtained the ability to redeem the Public Warrants:

23

If IronNet calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the Warrant Agreement. As of January 31, 2023, IronNet had 8,596 Public Warrants outstanding and not exercised. In connection with the Letter Agreement, on July 17, 2023, IronNey notified the New York Stock Exchange of its intent to voluntarily delist its securities, which became effective on or about August 6, 2023. Following delisting, the IronNet’s common stock has been traded on over-the-counter markets.

III.

EVENTS LEADING TO COMMENCEMENT OF THE CHAPTER 11 CASES

Simply put, IronNet ran out of money, as well as the ability to access sufficient capital to continue to fund go-forward operations under its current capital structure. Compounding these issues, IronNet experienced delays in collecting certain accounts receivable from foreign governments, as well as finalizing awards of new business. As a result of these factors, among other financial and operating difficulties, IronNet has been operating under a cloud of uncertainty that has strained IronNet’s cash flows and negatively affected liquidity to the point that certain of IRNT’s directors provided a loan to IRNT to fund IronNet’s August 31st payroll and partially fund a wind-down of IronNet.

As noted above, due to IronNet’s liquidity position at the beginning of September 2023, the board of directors authorized the furlough of almost all of IronNet’s employees. Notwithstanding the furlough, IronNet’s management continued to explore and pursue financing options, as well as potential new customers. More specifically, IronNet explored financing sources that would allow it to (a) continue to service its customers, (b) take on new customer awards, and (c) deleverage its balance sheet in a value maximizing process, while simultaneously protecting IronNet’s most valuable asset—its intellectual property. With that in mind, IronNet resisted efforts by potential financing parties to enter into financing transactions that, as part of their respective terms, sought to (i) impose onerous terms in exchange for a lien on its unencumbered intellectual property, such that the lender would inevitably foreclose on such intellectual property, and/or (ii) restrict IronNet’s ability to fulfill its fiduciary duties in a chapter 11 process.

On September 29, 2023, IronNet filed an 8-K indicating that, due to the apparent unavailability of additional sources of liquidity, it was ceasing all activities and terminating its remaining employees. IronNet further indicated that it did not believe that it would be able to file a chapter 11 bankruptcy and believe that it would have to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy. Nonetheless, IronNet continued to engage with parties regarding financing for a potential chapter 11 bankruptcy, and on the same weekend that IronNet filed the aforementioned 8-K, it held conversations with two parties, RevTek Capital (“RevTek”) and the DIP Lender, both of which were interested in funding a chapter 11 bankruptcy.

The DIP Lender proposed a holistic restructuring, and while IronNet attempted to bring in RevTek to provide incremental liquidity as well as exit financing, as of the Petition Date, IronNet could not get comfortable with the terms proposed by RevTek, which required significant fees payable by reorganized equity.

As IronNet finalized terms with the DIP Lender, it experienced further operational challenges, including AWS shutting down its service.

24

The Company’s IronDefense and IronDome solutions are built on the Amazon Web Service (“AWS”) platform using key components of that infrastructure. The Company replatformed its solution several years ago to run in the cloud on AWS as it transitioned from being primarily an on-premise solution provider to providing a Saas solution. The Company’s analytics are performed in the cloud using data collected from Company sensors in customer networks and cloud environments. As the Company encountered liquidity problems beginning in the Fall of 2022, it began to fall behind on most of its vendor payments including those to AWS.

By December 2022, the Company entered into its first payment plan with AWS to catch up on payments of past due invoices over a course of several months. By March 2023, the Company had paid all its past due obligations. However, the Company began to fall behind again on invoice payments in mid-March after C5 Capital began to have problems meeting its commitments to fund the company per its December term sheet to acquire the Company. Throughout the summer the Company negotiated with AWS and paid invoices as collections from its customer payments made possible.

By September 2023, the Company had fallen behind on obligations owed to AWS. In September 2023, the Government of Bahrain finally made a long delayed payment of $1,782,000 for its Saas usage. The payment was made through the AWS Marketplace, and on September 26, 2023, Amazon retained the entire Bahrain payment to satisfy a portion of the Company’s past due obligations.

On September 29, 2003, AWS shut down the Company’s AWS access and customer instances due to a remaining past due payment of $18,000. The Company remitted payment for the past due amount an hour after service was discontinued. However, service was not restored.

On October 2, 2023, AWS sent the Company a notice of contract cancellation due to late payment of the past due amount and the Company’s 8-K announcing termination of its employees. However, with the materialization of DIP Facility over the days earlier, the Company began negotiating with AWS to restore services so it could restart operations. The Company made a series of offers to pay all past due invoices, pre-pay for services during the period of bankruptcy protection and shorten the contract term to protect AWS from having to provide services indefinitely if the Company were to file Chapter 7. However, AWS insisted that the Company first seek protection under chapter 11 and file a motion with the Court to enter into the AWS Reinstatement Agreement before taking payment and restoring service.

Ultimately, following arm’s-length, good faith negotiations, the Debtors and AWS have agreed to the terms of a Reinstatement Agreement, which, pursuant to the terms of the agreement, the Debtors are required to assume before AWS will reinstate IronNet’s AWS account and AWS services.

In light of the foregoing issues and their liquidity position, beginning on or around December 2022, the Company began evaluating all available options, including a sale of the Company, financing transactions, and loan restructuring. To that end, in December 2022, the Company retained Guggenheim Partners (“Guggenheim”) and Young Conaway Stargatt & Taylor, LLP to assist it in exploring these alternatives, including a potential filing under the Bankruptcy Code. During the ten months preceding the Petition Date, Guggenheim contacted a wide array of potential bidders, but these efforts ultimately proved unsuccessful.

Without any actionable proposals from Guggenheim’s pre-petition marketing process, the Company began discussing the terms of a potential restructuring with the Prepetition Secured Creditors, including the Director Noteholders and C5 (a beneficial owner of more than 5% of IRNT’s outstanding common stock

25

(as discussed above)), and the DIP Lenders, including ITC Global Advisers LLC (“ITC Global”) and C5, that would de-leverage the Debtors’ balance sheet and position the Company for future success. Over the past few months, the Debtors and their advisors engaged extensively with the Prepetition Secured Creditors and the DIP Lenders, culminating in the execution of the DIP Term Sheet on October 10, 2023.

Pursuant to the DIP Term Sheet, the DIP Lenders agreed to provide funding for these Chapter 11 Cases, including funding for up to a 60-day post-petition marketing and sale process to test the value of the Debtors’ assets and equity in the marketplace. In connection therewith, the Debtors terminated Guggenheim’s retention as investment banker and are in the process of retaining an investment banker. If no actionable proposals result from the post-petition marketing and sale process, the DIP Term Sheet sets forth the framework for the Plan and 363 sale process.

The Debtors believe that the proposed timeline set forth above maximizes the prospect of receiving the highest or best offer for the Debtors’ assets while ensuring that the Debtors can close the sale no later than January 24, 2024, as contemplated under the DIP Term Sheet. This outside date was one of the substantive negotiated deal points upon which the DIP Lenders insisted as a condition to agreeing to enter into the DIP Term Sheet and fund a marketing process in these Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors submit that, particularly in light of the extensive pre-petition marketing process, a further lengthy sale process would only foster uncertainty among the Debtors’ vendors, customers (including foreign governments), and workforce, each of which is a key business partner whose confidence and cooperation is necessary to achieve the Debtors’ goals in these Chapter 11 Cases.

The Debtors submit that a prompt sale of their assets or the equity in the reorganized Debtors through a competitive process is the best option available to maximize value for all stakeholders in these Chapter 11 Cases. While there is a real need for expediency here, the Debtors recognize that conducting a postpetition market check on their assets and the equity in the reorganized Debtors is appropriate and necessary, particularly given IRNT’s substantial shareholders. To that end, on October 10, 2023, the board of directors authorized the appointment of Ivona Smith, as an independent director that will have full authority over matters related to the restructuring and the post-petition marketing process.

IV.

OVERVIEW OF THE CHAPTER 11 CASES

On October 13, 2023, the Debtors filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. To minimize disruptions to the Debtors’ operations, and to facilitate the efficient and expeditious confirmation of the Plan, the Debtors filed numerous motions seeking traditional “first-day” and other substantive relief.

On the Petition Date, the Debtors filed multiple motions seeking various forms of relief from the Bankruptcy Court, including authorization for the Debtors to maintain their operations in the ordinary course (the “First Day Motions”). Such relief was aimed at ensuring a seamless transition between the Debtors’ prepetition and postpetition business operations, facilitating a smooth reorganization through the chapter 11 process, and minimizing disruptions to the Debtors’ businesses. The Debtors sought to, among other things:

26

The Debtors have filed or will file in the near future various motions regarding procedural issues common to chapter 11 cases of similar size and complexity, including, without limitation, a motion for entry of an order establishing procedures for the interim compensation and reimbursement of expenses of professionals and a motion for entry of an order authorizing the Debtors to employ professionals used in the ordinary course of business.

Pursuant to the Debtors’ Emergency Motion for Entry of Interim and Final Orders (A) Authorizing Debtors to (I) Obtain Postpetition Financing and (II) Use Cash Collateral, (B) Granting Liens and Providing Superpriority Administrative Expense Claims, (C) Granting Adequate Protection to Prepetition Secured Parties, (D) Modifying the Automatic Stay, (E) Scheduling a Final Hearing, and (F) Granting Related Relief [Docket No. 12], the Debtors requested authority, among other things, to enter into a superpriority senior secured credit facility (the “DIP Facility”).

The DIP Facility consists of $10 million in DIP Financing broken out into $8.5 million in New Money DIP Loans, as well as a proposed $1.5 million in “roll-up” of the $1.5 million bridge loan. $4.5 million of the New Money DIP Loans shall be available upon entry of the Interim DIP Order, $4 million of the New Money DIP Loans shall be available upon entry of the Final DIP Order. The DIP Roll-Up Loans constitute a refinancing of $1.5 million of the bridge loan on a dollar-for-dollar basis upon entry of the Interim DIP Order.

On [•], 2023 the United States Trustee for the District of Delaware appointed a [•] member official committee of unsecured creditors.

27

Section 1121(b) of the Bankruptcy Code provides for a period of 120 days after the commencement of a chapter 11 case during which time a debtor has the exclusive right to file a plan of reorganization (the “Exclusive Plan Period”). In addition, section 1121(c)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code provides that if a debtor files a plan within the Exclusive Plan Period, it has a period of 180 days after commencement of the chapter 11 case to obtain acceptances of such plan, before the expiration of which no other party in interest may file a plan (the “Exclusive Solicitation Period,” and together with the Exclusive Plan Period, the “Exclusive Periods”). Pursuant to section 1121(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Court may, upon a showing of cause, extend the Exclusive Periods. The Debtors’ Exclusive Plan Period currently runs through February 9, 2024, and their Exclusive Solicitation Period runs through April 9, 2024, both of which are subject to extension upon order of the Bankruptcy Court.

On October 24, 2023, the Debtors filed the Bidding Procedures Motion, seeking authorization to conduct a competitive and robust sale process, which process the Debtors believe will ensure that they receive top dollar for their assets to the extent they ultimately decide to consummate a Sale Transaction rather than a Restructuring. On [●], 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered the Bidding Procedures Order, which approved the Bidding Procedures.

SUMMARY OF THE PLAN

THE TERMS OF THE PLAN, A COPY OF WHICH IS ATTACHED AS EXHIBIT A TO THIS DISCLOSURE STATEMENT, ARE INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE HEREIN. THE STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT INCLUDE SUMMARIES OF THE PROVISIONS CONTAINED IN THE PLAN AND IN THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO THEREIN, WHICH ARE QUALIFIED IN THEIR ENTIRETY BY REFERENCE TO THE PLAN (AS WELL AS THE EXHIBITS THERETO AND DEFINITIONS THEREIN).

THE STATEMENTS CONTAINED IN THE DISCLOSURE STATEMENT DO NOT PURPORT TO BE PRECISE OR COMPLETE STATEMENTS OF ALL THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN OR DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO THEREIN, AND REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE PLAN AND TO SUCH DOCUMENTS FOR THE FULL AND COMPLETE STATEMENT OF SUCH TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THE PLAN OR DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO THEREIN. HOLDERS OF CLAIMS AGAINST, AND INTERESTS IN, THE DEBTORS AND OTHER INTERESTED PARTIES ARE URGED TO READ THE PLAN AND THE EXHIBITS THERETO IN THEIR ENTIRETY SO THAT THEY MAY MAKE AN INFORMED JUDGMENT CONCERNING THE PLAN.

Under the Bankruptcy Code, only “allowed” claims and interests may receive distributions under a chapter 11 plan. In general, an “allowed” claim or “allowed” interest means that the debtor agrees (or the bankruptcy court has ruled) that the claim or interest, including the amount, is in fact, a valid obligation of the debtor.

The Bankruptcy Code also requires that, for purposes of treatment and voting, the chapter 11 plan divide the different claims against, and interests in, the debtor into separate classes based upon their legal nature. Claims of substantially similar legal nature are usually classified together, as are interests of a substantially similar legal nature. Because an entity may hold multiple claims or interests that give rise to different legal rights, the claims and interests themselves, rather than their Holders, are classified.

28

Under a chapter 11 plan, the separate classes of claims and interests must be designated either as “impaired” (affected by the plan) or “unimpaired” (unaffected by the plan). If a class of claims or interests is “impaired,” the Bankruptcy Code affords certain rights to the Holders of such claims or interests, such as the right to vote on the plan (unless the plan has deemed the class to reject the plan), and the right to receive under the chapter 11 plan no less value than the Holder would receive if the debtor were liquidated under chapter 7 of the Bankruptcy Code.

Pursuant to section 1124 of the Bankruptcy Code, a class of claims or interests is “impaired” unless the plan (a) does not alter the legal, equitable, and contractual rights of the Holders or (b) irrespective of the Holders’ acceleration rights, cures all defaults (other than those arising from the debtor’s insolvency, the commencement of the case, or non-performance of a nonmonetary obligation), reinstates the maturity of the claims or interests in the class, compensates the Holders for actual damages incurred as a result of their reasonable reliance upon any acceleration rights, and does not otherwise alter their legal, equitable, and contractual rights. Typically, this means the Holder of an unimpaired claim will receive on the later of the effective date of the plan and the date on which amounts owing are due and payable, payment in full, in cash, and the remainder of the debtor’s obligations, if any, will be performed as they come due in accordance with their terms. Thus, other than the right to accelerate the debtor’s obligations, the holder of an unimpaired claim generally will be placed in the position it would have been in had the chapter 11 cases not been commenced.

Consistent with these requirements, as described in Articles I.A and I.B above, the Plan divides the Claims against, and Interests in, the Debtors into ten (10) distinct Classes. Pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, not all Classes are entitled to vote on the Plan. Under the Plan: (a) Classes [3, 4, 5, and 7] are Impaired and the Holders of Claims in such Classes are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan; (b) Classes 1, 2, and 6 are Unimpaired and the Holders of Claims in such Class are conclusively presumed to have accepted the Plan and are thus not entitled to vote on the Plan; (c) Class 10 is Impaired and the Holders of Claims and Interests in such Class (i) shall receive no distributions under the Plan on account of their Claims or Interests, (ii) are deemed to have rejected the Plan, and (iii) are not entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan; and (d) Classes 8 and 9 are either Unimpaired or Impaired and the Holders of Intercompany Claims and Intercompany Interests in such Classes are conclusively presumed to have either accepted or rejected the Plan and are thus not entitled to vote on the Plan.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, nothing under the Plan shall affect the Debtors’ or the Reorganized Debtors’ rights in respect of any Unimpaired Claim, including all rights in respect of legal and equitable defenses to, or setoffs or recoupments against, any such Unimpaired Claim.

Article III of the Plan sets forth certain additional rules governing the tabulation of votes under the Plan and related matters. Among other things, Article III provides that (a) the Plan constitutes a separate chapter 11 plan of reorganization for each Debtor ([III.A]); (b) any Class of Claims that is not occupied as of the date of commencement of the Confirmation Hearing by the Holder of an Allowed Claim or a Claim temporarily Allowed under Bankruptcy Rule 3018 (i.e., no Ballots are cast in a Class entitled to vote on the Plan) shall be deemed eliminated from the Plan for purposes of voting ([III.G]); and (c) the Debtors will seek confirmation of the Plan pursuant to 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, which permits confirmation of a plan notwithstanding the rejection or deemed rejection of one or more Classes, provided that at least one Class entitled to vote has voted to accept the plan and certain other requirements are met, including that the Plan does not discriminate unfairly and is fair and equitable with respect to each impaired, non-consenting Class of Claims or Interests under the Plan ([III.E]).

29

Article V of the Plan governs the treatment of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, among other things. Article V.A of the Plan provides that in the event any Sale Transaction is consummated, the Assumed Contracts to be assumed and assigned in connection with such Plan Sale Transaction will be deemed assumed and assigned to the applicable Successful Bidder in accordance with the applicable Plan Sale Transaction Documentation.

On the Effective Date, in the event of a Restructuring, except as otherwise provided in herein, any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases (i) not previously assumed, or (ii) not previously rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, will be deemed assumed as of the Effective Date pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code except any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (1) identified on the Rejected Contracts List (which shall initially be filed with the Bankruptcy Court on the Plan Supplement Filing Date) as a contract or lease to be rejected, (2) that is the subject of a separate motion or notice to reject pending as of the Confirmation Date, or (3) that previously expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms (disregarding any terms the effect of which is invalidated by the Bankruptcy Code).

On the Effective Date, in the event of a Sale Transaction, except as otherwise provided herein, any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (i) not previously assumed, (ii) not assumed and assigned in accordance with any Sale Transaction Documentation, or (iii) not previously rejected pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, and (iv) is not the subject of a pending motion to reject, assume or assume and assign as of the Effective Date will be deemed rejected.

Entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court shall constitute an order approving the assumptions or rejections of the Debtors’ Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and effective on the occurrence of the Effective Date or, as to rejected Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, on any date after entry of the Confirmation Order identified on the Rejected Contracts List or other motion or notice to reject. Each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan or by Bankruptcy Court order, and not assigned to a third party (including the applicable Successful Bidder in the event of a Sale Transaction) on or prior to the Effective Date, shall re-vest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as such terms may have been modified by order of the Bankruptcy Court or agreement of the parties. To the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the Plan restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or the execution of any other Restructuring (including any “change of control” provision), then such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto. For the avoidance of doubt, consummation of the Restructuring shall not be deemed an assignment of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease of the Debtors, notwithstanding any change in name, organizational form, or jurisdiction of organization of any Debtor in connection with the occurrence of the Effective Date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, subject to the Definitive Document Consent Rights, reserve the right to amend or supplement the Rejected Contracts List in their discretion prior to the Effective Date (or such later date as may be permitted by Article V.B or Article V.E of the Plan), provided that the Debtors shall give prompt notice of any such amendment or supplement to any affected counterparty and such counterparty shall have a reasonable opportunity to object thereto on any grounds.

30

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, reserve the right to amend or supplement the Rejected Contracts List in their discretion prior to the Effective Date (or such later date as may be permitted by Article V.B or Article V.E of the Plan), provided that the Debtors shall give prompt notice of any such amendment or supplement to any affected counterparty and such counterparty shall have a reasonable opportunity to object thereto on any grounds.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the terms of any 363 Sale Transaction Documentation and any 363 Sale Order shall govern the cure of defaults, assumption and assignment, and compliance with section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code with respect to any Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases assumed and assigned pursuant to such 363 Sale Transaction Documentation and 363 Sale Order.

Article V.B of the Plan provides that monetary defaults under each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease to be assumed or assumed and assigned pursuant to the Plan shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the Cure Cost in Cash on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable, subject to the limitation described below, or on such other terms as the parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease may otherwise agree, in each case subject to any applicable Plan Sale Transaction Documentation.

Assumption of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise shall result in the full satisfaction and cure of any Claims and defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease arising at any time prior to the effective date of assumption. Any counterparty to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption, assumption and assignment, or Cure Cost in accordance with the Contract Noticing Procedures will be deemed to have assented to such assumption, assumption and assignment, and Cure Cost.    

Article V.C of the Plan addresses Claims based on rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases and provides that unless otherwise provided by a Bankruptcy Court order, any Proofs of Claim asserting Claims arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases by virtue of the Plan must be filed with the Notice and Claims Agent within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date. Any Proofs of Claim arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that are not timely filed shall be subject to disallowance by further order of the Court upon objection on such grounds. All Allowed Claims arising from the rejection of the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases shall constitute General Unsecured Claims and shall be treated in accordance with Article III.B of the Plan.

Article V.D of the Plan provides that the Debtors or Reorganized Debtors, and, to the extent assigned to a Successful Bidder in the event of a Sale Transaction, the Successful Bidder, as applicable, will perform under any contracts and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by any Debtor, and will be liable thereunder in the ordinary course of business.

Article V.E of the Plan is a reservation of the Debtors’ rights. Neither the exclusion nor inclusion of any contract or lease in the Rejected Contracts List or Assumed Contracts List, as applicable, nor anything contained in the Plan or Sale Transaction Documentation, nor the Debtors’ delivery of a notice of proposed assumption and proposed Cure Cost to any contract and lease counterparties, shall constitute an admission by the Debtors that any such contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or

31

lease is or was executory or unexpired at the time of assumption or rejection, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall have forty-five (45) days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease. If there is a dispute regarding a Debtor’s or Reorganized Debtor’s liability under an assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall be authorized to move to have such dispute heard by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Article X.C of the Plan.

Article V.F of the Plan concerns the Debtors’ Compensation and Benefit Programs and the Debtors’ Workers’ Compensation Programs. Article V.F.1 provides that to the provisions of the Plan, all Compensation and Benefits Programs shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and, in the event of a Restructuring, with the consent of the DIP Agent, deemed assumed on the Effective Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code. In the event of a Sale Transaction, the Compensation and Benefits Programs shall either be assumed and assigned upon consummation of an applicable Sale Transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Sale Transaction Documentation or, if no Successful Bidder assumes the Compensation and Benefits Programs, rejected. In the event of a Restructuring or assumption by a Successful Bidder of the Compensation and Benefits Programs, all Proofs of Claim filed for amounts due under any Compensation and Benefits Program shall be considered satisfied by the applicable agreement and/or program and agreement to assume and cure in the ordinary course as provided in the Plan.

The Restructuring, or any assumption of Compensation and Benefits Programs pursuant to the terms herein, shall not be deemed to trigger any applicable change of control, vesting, termination, acceleration or similar provisions therein. No counterparty shall have rights under a Compensation and Benefits Program assumed pursuant to the Plan other than those applicable immediately prior to such assumption.

Article V.F.2 provides that, in the event of a Restructuring, as of the Effective Date, with the consent of the DIP Agent, except as set forth in the Plan Supplement, the Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors shall continue to honor their obligations under: (1) all applicable state workers’ compensation laws; and (2) the Debtors’ written contracts, agreements, agreements of indemnity, self-insured workers’ compensation bonds, policies, programs, and plans for workers’ compensation and workers’ compensation Insurance Contracts (collectively, the “Workers’ Compensation Contracts”). In the event of a Restructuring, all Proofs of Claims on account of workers’ compensation shall, provided that the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors continue to honor such obligations, be deemed withdrawn automatically, and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court; provided that nothing in the Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Debtors’ or Reorganized Debtors’ defenses, Causes of Action, or other rights under applicable non-bankruptcy law with respect to the Workers’ Compensation Contracts; provided, further, that nothing herein shall be deemed to impose any obligations on the Debtors in addition to what is provided for under applicable state law and/or the Workers’ Compensation Contracts.

In the event of a Sale Transaction, the Workers’ Compensation Contracts shall either be assumed and assigned upon consummation of an applicable Sale Transaction in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Sale Transaction Documentation or, if no Successful Bidder assumes the Workers’ Compensation Programs, rejected.

Article VI of the Plan sets forth the mechanics by which Plan distributions will be made. As set forth more fully therein, Article VI of the Plan provides, among other things, that: (a) subject to certain exceptions, distributions under the Plan of the full amount provided for thereunder (i) on account of Claims and Interests Allowed on or before the Effective Date will generally be made on the Initial Distribution Date, and (ii) on account of Disputed Claims Allowed after the Effective Date will generally be made on the next Periodic

32

Distribution Date that is at least thirty (30) days after the Claim is Allowed (VI.A-C); (b) distributions will be made based on the Debtors’ books and records as of the Distribution Record Date and at the address for the relevant Holder in the Debtors’ records as of the relevant distribution date (VI.D.1-2); (c) distributions on account of DIP Facility Claims will be made to the applicable DIP Agent (VI.D.3); (d) the Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, are authorized to employ Distribution Agents on the terms set forth in the Plan (VI.D.4); (e) except for Claims in Classes 1 and 2, the Debtors, Plan Administrator, and the Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall not be required to make distributions of less than $100 (whether Cash or otherwise) or to make partial distributions or payments of fractions of dollars or securities (which amounts will instead be rounded down to the nearest whole dollar or share of New Common Equity (VI.D.5); (f) the Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable will hold undeliverable distributions, and will continue to honor un-negotiated checks, only for limited time-periods, after which the distributions shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable (VI.D.6); (g) to the extent applicable, the Reorganized Debtors, Plan Administrator, or Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall comply with all tax withholding and reporting requirements, and all distributions pursuant to the Plan shall be subject to such requirements (VI.E); (h) on the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each Holder of a certificate or instrument evidencing a Claim or an Equity Interest shall be deemed to have surrendered such certificate or instrument to the Distribution Agent. Such surrendered certificate or instrument shall be cancelled solely with respect to the Debtors, and except as provided otherwise under the Plan, including the Debtor Release and the Third-Party Release, such cancellation shall not alter the obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-à-vis one another with respect to such certificate or instrument, including with respect to any indenture or agreement that governs the rights of the Holder of a Claim or Equity Interest, which shall continue in effect for purposes of allowing Holders to receive distributions under the Plan and allowing indenture trustees to exercise charging liens, priorities of payment, and indemnification rights (VI.F); and (i) distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Insurance Contract. Except for the releases and exculpation provisions of Article IX of the Plan, nothing contained in the Plan shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that the Debtors or any Entity may hold against any other Entity, including Insurers under any Insurance Contracts, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed a waiver by such Insurers of any rights or defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such Insurers under the Insurance Contracts (VI.G).

Article VII of the Plan governs the resolution of Disputed Claims and Interests. Pursuant to Article VII.A, after the Effective Date, and except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall have and shall retain any and all available rights and defenses that the Debtors had with respect to any Claim, including, without limitation, the right to assert any objection to Claims based on the limitations imposed by section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, may contest the amount and validity of any Disputed Claim or contingent or unliquidated Claim in the ordinary course of business in the manner and venue in which such Claim would have been determined, resolved or adjudicated if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced.

Article VII.B provides that, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, the Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall have the authority: (1) to file, withdraw, or litigate to judgment objections to Claims; (2) to settle or compromise any Disputed Claim without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court; and (3) to administer and adjust the Claims Register to reflect any such settlements or compromises without any further notice to or action, order, or approval by the Bankruptcy Court.

33

Article VII.C addresses estimation of claims. It provides that before or after the Effective Date, the Debtors, Reorganized Debtors, or Plan Administrator, as applicable, may (but are not required to) at any time request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Disputed Claim that is contingent or unliquidated pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason, regardless of whether any party previously has objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection; and the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any such Claim, including during the litigation of any objection to any Claim or during the appeal relating to such objection; provided that if the Bankruptcy Court resolves the Allowed amount of a Claim, the Debtors and Reorganized Debtors or Plan Administrator, as applicable, shall not be permitted to seek an estimation of such Claim). Notwithstanding any provision otherwise in the Plan, a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but that either is subject to appeal or has not been the subject of a Final Order, shall be deemed to be estimated at zero dollars, unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. In the event that the Bankruptcy Court estimates any contingent or unliquidated Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute a maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes under the Plan (including for purposes of distributions), and the relevant Reorganized Debtor or Plan Administrator, as applicable, may elect to pursue any supplemental proceedings to object to any ultimate distribution on such Claim subject to applicable law.

Article VII.D provides that if any portion of a Claim is Disputed, no payment or distribution provided hereunder shall be made on account of such Claim unless and until such Claim becomes an Allowed Claim; provided that if only a portion of a Claim is Disputed, such Claim shall be deemed Allowed in the amount not Disputed and payment or distribution shall be made on account of such undisputed amount.

Article VII.E provides that any objections to Claims shall be Filed on or before the Claims Objection Deadline, subject to any extensions thereof approved by the Bankruptcy Court.

Article VIII of the Plan sets forth the conditions precedent to Confirmation, the Effective Date, and related matters. The conditions precedent set forth at Article VIII.A include that:

The conditions precedent set forth at Article VIII.B include that:

34

Article VIII.C provides that the Debtors, with the prior written consent of the DIP Lender and C5, may waive any of the conditions to the Effective Date set forth above at any time, without any notice to parties in interest and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, and without any formal action other than a proceeding to confirm the Plan.

Article VIII.D addresses the effect of non-occurrence of the Effective Date. It provides that if the Effective Date does not occur: (1) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects; (2) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan, assumption or rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases effected under the Plan, and any document or agreement executed pursuant to the Plan, shall be deemed null and void; and (3) nothing contained in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or the Disclosure Statement shall: (a) constitute a waiver or release of any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action; (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtors or any other Entity; or (c) constitute an admission, acknowledgement, offer, or undertaking of any sort by the Debtors or any other Entity.

Article IX of the Plan addresses releases, injunctions and related provisions. These provisions include discharge of Claims and Interests under the Plan (IX.A); preservation of the rights of the Reorganized Debtors to setoff and recoup against Allowed Claims (IX.F); and release of Liens (IX.G). In addition, Articles IX.B, IX.C, IX.D, and IX.E of the Plan contain important releases, injunctions, and exculpatory provisions. These provisions are highlighted below.

Article IX.C. contains a third-party release. Pursuant to Article IX.C of the Plan, (a) all Holders of Claims that vote to accept the Plan; (b) all Holders of Claims that are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan but that either (x) do not vote to accept or to reject the Plan or (y) vote to reject the Plan and do not affirmatively opt out of granting the releases contained in the Plan; (c) all Holders of Claims that are presumed to accept the Plan; (d) all Holders of Claims that are deemed to reject the Plan and fail to timely object to the releases contained in the Plan; (e) the DIP Agent and the DIP Lender; (f) any Successful Bidder, if applicable; and (g) all other Released Parties (other than (1) any Debtor Releasing Party and (2) any Related Person of any Released Party, except to the extent such Released Party is legally entitled to bind such Related Person to the releases contained in the Plan under applicable non-bankruptcy law) shall be deemed to grant the Third-Party Release.

35

The following definitions are important to understanding the scope of the releases being given under the Plan:

“Exculpated Party” means collectively, and in each case in its capacity as such: (a) the Debtors; (b) the officers and directors of the Debtors, and any other person serving as a fiduciary of the Debtors’ Estates, in each case, who served at any time between the Petition Date and the Effective Date of the Plan; (c) the Committee; and (d) all financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers and other professionals retained by the Debtors or the Committee in these Chapter 11 Cases.

“Non-Debtor Releasing Parties” means, collectively, each of the following in their capacity as such: (a) all Holders of Claims that vote to accept the Plan; (b) all Holders of Claims that are entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan but that either (x) do not vote to accept or to reject the Plan or (y) vote to reject the Plan and do not affirmatively opt out of granting the releases contained in the Plan; (c) all Holders of Claims that are presumed to accept the Plan; (d) all Holders of Claims that are deemed to reject the Plan and fail to timely object to the releases contained in the Plan; (e) the DIP Agent and the DIP Lender; (f) any Successful Bidder, if applicable; and (g) all other Released Parties (other than (1) any Debtor Releasing Party and (2) any Related Person of any Released Party, except to the extent such Released Party is legally entitled to bind such Related Person to the releases contained in the Plan under applicable non-bankruptcy law).

Effective as of the Effective Date, the Exculpated Parties shall neither have nor incur any liability to any Person or Entity for any claims or Causes of Action or for any act taken or omitted to be taken on or after the Petition Date and prior to or on the Effective Date in connection with, or related to, the administration of the Chapter 11 Cases, commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, pursuit of Confirmation and consummation of the Plan, making Distributions, the Disclosure Statement, the Sale Process, the Sale Order, or the solicitation of votes for, or Confirmation of, the Plan; the occurrence of the Effective Date; the administration of the Plan or the property to be distributed under the Plan; the issuance of securities under or in connection with the Plan; the purchase, sale, or rescission of the purchase or sale of any asset or security of the Debtors; or the transactions or documentation in furtherance of any of the foregoing; or any other postpetition, pre-Effective Date act taken or omitted to be taken in connection with or in contemplation of the restructuring of the Debtors, the approval of the Disclosure Statement or Confirmation or consummation of the Plan; provided, however, that the foregoing provisions of this exculpation shall not operate to waive or release: (i) any Causes of Action arising from willful misconduct, actual fraud, or gross negligence of such applicable Exculpated Party as determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or any other court of competent jurisdiction; and/or (ii) the rights of any Person or Entity to enforce the Plan and the contracts, instruments, releases, indentures, and other agreements and documents delivered under or in connection with the Plan or assumed pursuant to the Plan or Final Order of

38

the Bankruptcy Court; provided, further, that each Exculpated Party shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of counsel concerning its respective duties pursuant to, or in connection with, the above referenced documents, actions or inactions. The foregoing exculpation shall be effective as of the Effective Date without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, act or action under applicable law, regulation, order, or rule or the vote, consent, authorization or approval of any Person. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Article IX.D shall or shall be deemed to prohibit the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors from asserting and enforcing any claims, obligations, suits, judgments, demands, debts, rights, Causes of Action or liabilities they may have against any Person that is based upon an alleged breach of a confidentiality or non-compete obligation owed to the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, in each case unless otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan. The Exculpation will be in addition to, and not in limitation of, all other releases, indemnities, exculpations, and any other applicable law or rules protecting such Exculpated Parties from liability.

Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order (and, for the avoidance of doubt, subject to Article III.C), all entities who have held, hold, or may hold Claims, Interests, Causes of Action, or liabilities that: (a) are subject to compromise and settlement pursuant to the terms of the Plan; (b) have been released pursuant to Article IX.B of the Plan; (c) have been released pursuant to Article IX.C of the Plan, (d) are subject to exculpation pursuant to Article IX.D of the Plan (but only to the extent of the exculpation provided in Article IX.D of the Plan), or (e) are otherwise discharged, satisfied, stayed or terminated pursuant to the terms of the Plan, are permanently enjoined and precluded, from and after the Effective Date, from commencing or continuing in any manner, any action or other proceeding on account of any such claims, interests, Causes of Action, or liabilities that have been compromised, released, exculpated or settled, as applicable, against the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, or any Entity so released or exculpated (or the property or estate of any Entity, directly or indirectly, so released or exculpated) pursuant to the terms of the Plan, including C5, each DIP Lender, and each Exit Facility Lender.

The Debtors believe that the releases set forth in the Plan are appropriate because, among other things, the releases are expressly or impliedly consensual. Courts in the Third Circuit “have consistently held that a plan may provide for a release of third party claims against a non-debtor upon consent of the party affected.” In re Indianapolis Downs, LLC, 486 B.R. 286, 305 (Bankr. D. Del. 2013). In addition to the consent demonstrated by acceptance of the Plan by Holders entitled to vote, consent may be implied from Holders who are Unimpaired and deemed to accept the Plan. Id. at 306 (holding third-party releases are consensual as to unimpaired creditors paid in full); In re Spansion, Inc., 426 B.R. 114, 144 (Bankr. D. Del. 2010) (same). Consent is also demonstrated as to the Holders of Claims who are provided instructions on how to opt out of such releases and do not do so, either by abstaining from voting or by voting against the Plan but not opting out of the releases. Indianapolis Downs, 486 B.R. at 305 (citing In re DBSD N. Am., Inc., 419 B.R. 179, 218-19 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 2009); In re Conseco, Inc., 301 B.R. 525, 528 (Bankr. N.D. Ill. 2003)).

Here, consistent with the above case law, the releases by Holders of Claims and Interests against non-Debtors are given upon express or implied consent by Holders entitled to vote to accept or reject the Plan who do not opt out by appropriately marking their Ballots, Holders entitled to vote who abstain from voting on the Plan, Holders presumed to accept the Plan, Holders deemed to reject the Plan that do not affirmatively opt out of the releases, and any counterparties to Executory Contracts and/or Unexpired Leases that do not opt out of the releases.
