Any notice given by delivery, mail, or courier shall be effective when received.
12.11.
Independent Due Diligence and Decision Making. Each Consenting Stakeholder confirms that its decision to execute this Agreement
has been based upon its independent investigation of the operations, businesses, financial and other conditions, and prospects of the
Company Parties. Each Consenting Stakeholder acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying on any representations or warranties other
than as set forth in this Agreement or any other Definitive Document.
12.12.
Admissibility and Waiver. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement
and all negotiations relating to this Agreement shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce
its terms or the payment of damages or any other remedy to which a Party may be entitled under this Agreement. If the Restructuring Transactions
are not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by any Party of
any or all of such Party’s rights, remedies, claims, and defenses and the Parties fully reserve any and all of their rights.
12.13.
Specific Performance. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for
any breach of this Agreement by any Party, and each
non-breaching Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance
and injunctive or other equitable relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) as a remedy of any such
breach, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with
any of its obligations hereunder.
12.14.
Several, Not Joint and Several, Claims. The agreements, representations, warranties, and obligations of the Parties under
this Agreement are, in all respects, several, and not joint and several.
12.15.
Severability and Construction. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect if essential terms and conditions
of this Agreement for each Party remain valid, binding, and enforceable.
12.16.
Remedies Cumulative. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof
at Law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall
not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party.
12.17.
Email Consents. Where a written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver is required pursuant to or contemplated by this
Agreement, pursuant to Section 3, Section 4, Section
11, or otherwise, such written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver shall be deemed to have occurred if, by agreement between counsel
to the Parties submitting and receiving such consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver, it is conveyed in writing (including electronic
mail) between each such counsel without representations or warranties of any kind on behalf of such counsel.
12.18.
Fees and Expenses. To the extent not previously paid, and regardless of whether the Restructuring Transactions are consummated,
the Company Parties shall promptly pay in cash all fees and expenses of the Ad Hoc Group of Senior Secured Noteholders Advisors and the
Ad Hoc Group of Convertible Noteholders Advisors, in each case, in accordance with any engagement letters (if any) of such professional,
including, without limitation, any success fees contemplated therein (collectively, the “Consenting Stakeholder Fees and Expenses”).
12.19.
Survival. Notwithstanding (a) any Transfer of any Company Claims in accordance with Section
7 or (b) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 10, the agreements and obligations of the Parties in Sections
10.06, Sections 12.01-12.19, Sections 12.20-12.21, Section 12.23 any
defined terms used in any of the foregoing Sections (solely to the extent used therein) and the Confidentiality Agreements shall survive
such Transfer and/or termination and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.
12.20.
Enforceability of Agreement. If the Chapter 11 Cases are commenced, each of the Parties waives any right to assert that the exercise
of termination rights under this Agreement is subject to the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, and expressly stipulates
and consents hereunder to the prospective modification of the automatic stay provisions of the Bankruptcy Code for purposes of exercising
termination rights under this Agreement to the extent the Bankruptcy Court determines that such relief is required.
12.21.
Relationship Among Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the duties and obligations of the Consenting
Stakeholders under this Agreement shall be several, not joint and several. None of the Consenting Stakeholders shall have any fiduciary
duty, any duty of trust or confidence in any form, or other duties or responsibilities to each other, any Consenting Stakeholder, any
Company Party, or any of the Company Party’s respective creditors or other stakeholders, and there are no commitments among or between
the Consenting Stakeholders, in each case except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any other Definitive Document. It is understood
and agreed that any Consenting Stakeholders may trade in any debt or equity securities of any Company Party without the consent of the
Company Parties, subject to applicable securities laws and this Agreement. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences
among or between any of the Consenting Stakeholders, and/or the Company Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and
agreement. The Parties have no agreement, arrangement or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding,
voting or disposing of any equity securities of any of the Company Parties and do not constitute a “group” within the meaning
of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act or Rule 13d-5 promulgated thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt: (a) each Consenting Stakeholder
is entering into this Agreement directly with the Company Parties and not with any other Consenting Stakeholder; (b) subject to Section
7.02, no other Consenting Stakeholder shall have any right to bring any action against any other Consenting Stakeholder with respect this
Agreement (or any breach thereof); and (c) no Consenting Stakeholder shall, nor shall any action taken by a Consenting Stakeholder pursuant
to this Agreement, be deemed to be acting in concert or as any group with any other Consenting Stakeholder with respect to the obligations
under this Agreement nor shall this Agreement create a presumption that the Consenting Stakeholders are in any way acting as a group.
All rights under this Agreement are separately granted to each Consenting Stakeholder by the Company Parties and vice versa, and the use
of a single document is for the convenience of the Company Parties. The decision to commit to enter into the Restructuring Transactions
contemplated by this Agreement has been made independently. For the avoidance of doubt, the Consenting Stakeholders are not insiders of
the Company or its subsidiaries.
12.22.
Publicity. The Company Parties shall submit drafts to counsel to the Consenting Stakeholders, respectively, of any press
releases or other public statements that constitute disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement or any amendment to the terms
of this Agreement at least two (2) Business Days prior to making any such disclosure (provided, however, that if delivery of such
document at least two (2) Business Days in advance of such disclosure is impossible or impracticable under the circumstances, such document
shall be delivered as soon as otherwise practicable), and shall afford them a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to comment
on such documents and disclosures and shall incorporate any such reasonable comments in good faith. Except as required by Law or otherwise
permitted under the terms of any other agreement between the Company Parties and any Consenting Stakeholder, no Party or its advisors
shall (a) use the name of any Consenting Stakeholder in any public manner (including in any press release) with respect to this Agreement,
the Restructuring or any of the Definitive Documents or (b) disclose to any Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Party),
other than advisors to the Company Parties, the principal amount or percentage of any Company Claims/Interests held by any individual
Consenting Stakeholder, in each case, without such Consenting Stakeholder’s prior written consent (it being understood and agreed
that each Consenting Stakeholder’s signature page to this Agreement shall be redacted to remove the name
of such Consenting Stakeholder
and the amount and/or percentage of Company Claims/Interests held by such Consenting Stakeholder); provided, however, that (i)
if such disclosure is required by Law, subpoena, or other legal process or regulation, the disclosing Party shall afford the relevant
Consenting Stakeholder a reasonable opportunity to review and comment in advance of such disclosure and shall take all reasonable measures
to limit such disclosure, and (ii) the foregoing shall not prohibit the disclosure of the aggregate percentage or aggregate principal
amount of Company Claims/Interests held by all the Consenting Stakeholders, collectively, on a facility by facility basis. Notwithstanding
the provisions in this Section 12.22, (x) any Party may disclose the identities of the other parties in any action to enforce this
Agreement or in any action for damages as a result of any breaches hereof, and (y) any Party may disclose, to the extent expressly consented
to in writing by a Consenting Stakeholder, such Consenting Stakeholder’s identity and individual holdings.
12.23.
No Recourse. This Agreement may only be enforced against the named parties hereto (and then only to the extent of the specific
obligations undertaken by such parties in this Agreement). All claims or causes of action (whether in contract, tort, equity or any other
theory) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement,
may be made only against the Persons that are expressly identified as parties hereto (and then only to the extent of the specific obligations
undertaken by such parties herein). No past, present or future direct or indirect director, manager, officer, employee, incorporator,
member, partner, stockholder, equity holder, trustee, affiliate, controlling person, investment manager or advisor (or such investment
manager’s or advisor’s employees, managers or partners), agent, attorney or other representative of any party hereto (including
any person negotiating or executing this Agreement on behalf of a party hereto), nor any past, present or future direct or indirect director,
manager, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, equity holder, trustee, affiliate, controlling person, investment
manager or advisor (or such investment manager’s or advisor’s employees, managers or partners), agent, attorney or other representative
of any of the foregoing (other than any of the foregoing that is a party hereto) (any such Person, a “No Recourse Party”),
shall have any liability with respect to this Agreement or with respect to any proceeding (whether in contract, tort, equity or any other
theory that seeks to “pierce the corporate veil” or impose liability of an entity against its owners or affiliates or otherwise)
that may arise out of or relate to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement.
12.24.
Specific Execution
(a)
The Parties understand that the Consenting Stakeholders are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses. In furtherance
of the foregoing, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, to the extent a Consenting Stakeholder expressly indicates on its signature
page hereto that it is executing this Agreement on behalf of specific trading desk(s) and/or business group(s) of the Consenting Stakeholder,
the obligations set forth in this Agreement shall only apply to such trading desk(s) and/or business group(s) and shall not apply to any
other trading desk or business group of the Consenting Stakeholder so long as they are not acting at the direction or for the benefit
of such Consenting Stakeholder or such Consenting Stakeholder’s investment in the Company Parties; provided, that the foregoing
shall not diminish or otherwise affect the obligations and liability therefor of any legal entity that (i) executes this Agreement or
(ii) on
whose behalf this Agreement
is executed by a Consenting Stakeholder. The Company acknowledges that one or more Consenting Stakeholders may have engaged an investment
manager or advisor which acts as (i) the sole investment manager or advisor for certain single-manager accounts, and (ii) investment manager
or adviser solely to a designated pool of assets of certain multi-manager accounts. In respect of the multi-manager accounts, to the extent
a Consenting Stakeholder expressly indicates on its signature page hereto that such investment advisor or manager (A) is its discretionary
advisor with respect to the accounts of the Consenting Stakeholder or (B) has executed the Agreement on Consenting Stakeholder’s
behalf (“Investment Advisor”), the Investment Advisor has no visibility, control or oversight in respect of
the trading of other investment managers or advisers to such multi-manager accounts of the Consenting Stakeholder. As such, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, all agreements, covenants, representations or warranties herein that relate to any Consenting Stakeholder
shall, with respect to any multi-manager accounts, solely apply to the portion of the account over which such Investment Advisor has discretion
and not the Consenting Stakeholder as a whole.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties
have executed this Agreement on the day and year first above written.

ARTICLE
II.
DIP SUPERPRIORITY CLAIMS; ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIMS;
PRIORITY CLAIMS; AND U.S. Trustee FEES
All
Claims and Interests (except Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, DIP Superpriority Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and U.S.
Trustee Fees) are placed in the Classes set forth in Article III. In accordance with section 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code,
DIP Superpriority Claims, Administrative Claims, Professional Fee Claims, Priority Tax Claims, and U.S. Trustee Fees have not been classified,
and the Holders thereof are not entitled to vote on the Plan.
A.
DIP Superpriority Claims
In
accordance with the DIP Order, all DIP Superpriority Claims are Allowed Claims for all purposes under the Plan. Except to the extent
already paid, on the Effective Date, each Holder of an Allowed DIP Superpriority Claim shall receive, in full and final satisfaction,
compromise, settlement, discharge, and release of its Allowed DIP Superpriority Claim, either payment in full in Cash in accordance with
the terms of the applicable DIP Documents or such other treatment acceptable to such Holder, in each case, that results in the full satisfaction
of its Allowed DIP Superpriority Claims. In addition, on the Effective Date, any outstanding fees and expenses incurred by the DIP Agent,
the DIP Lenders, or their respective advisors, as required under the DIP Order, shall be paid in Cash in full.
B.
Administrative Claims
1.
General Administrative Claims
The
(Reorganized) Debtors shall have exclusive authority (with the consent of the Required Consenting Stakeholders) to settle Administrative
Claims without further Bankruptcy Court approval. The (Reorganized) Debtors and the Claims and Solicitation Agent are authorized to update
the Claims Register to reflect the foregoing without the need to File an application, motion, complaint, objection, or any other legal
proceeding seeking to adjust such Claim and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or the
Holder of such Claim, as applicable.
Except
with respect to Other Administrative Claims, and except to the extent that (a) an Administrative Claim has already been paid during
the Chapter 11 Cases or (b) a Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment, in full and final
satisfaction,
settlement,
discharge, and release of each Allowed Administrative Claim, each Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim shall receive an amount of
Cash equal to the amount of such Allowed Administrative Claim in accordance with the following: (i) if an Administrative Claim is allowed
on or prior to the Effective Date, on the Effective Date or, if not then due, when such Allowed Administrative Claim is due or as soon
as reasonably practicable thereafter); (ii) if such Administrative Claim is not Allowed as of the Effective Date, no later than 30 days
after the date on which an order Allowing such Administrative Claim becomes a Final Order, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter;
(iii) if such Allowed Administrative Claim is based on liabilities incurred by the Debtors in the ordinary course of their business after
the Petition Date, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the particular transaction or course of business giving rise to such
Allowed Administrative Claim without any further action by the Holders of such Allowed Administrative Claim; (iv) at such time and upon
such terms as may be agreed upon by such Holder and the (Reorganized) Debtors; or (v) at such time and upon such terms as set forth in
an order of the Bankruptcy Court.
For
the avoidance of doubt, the failure by a Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim to properly object to this Article II.B.1 before
the Confirmation Objection Deadline shall be deemed to be such Holder’s consent, pursuant to section 1129(a)(9) of the Bankruptcy
Code, to be paid in accordance with the Plan following the Effective Date.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, requests for payment of Administrative Claims need not be Filed for Administrative Claims that (a) previously have been
Allowed by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or pursuant to this Article II.B, (b) the (Reorganized) Debtors (with the consent
of the Required Consenting Stakeholders) have otherwise agreed in writing (email being sufficient) do not require such a Filing, (c)
relate to post-petition ordinary course operations and are set forth in the (Reorganized) Debtors’ books and records, or (d) arise
pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1930.
2.
Professional Fee Claims
Except
to the extent that an Allowed Professional Fee Claim has already been paid during the Chapter 11 Cases or except to the extent that a
Holder of an Allowed Professional Fee Claim agrees to a less favorable treatment with the (Reorganized) Debtors, each Holder of a Professional
Fee Claim shall be paid in full in Cash pursuant to the provisions of this Article II.B.2.
All
applications for payment of Professional Fee Claims shall be Filed within 45 days of the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable
thereafter. Distributions on account of Allowed Professional Fee Claims shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable after such applications
are approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
| b. | Post-Confirmation
Date Fees and Expenses |
Except
as otherwise specifically provided for herein, on the Confirmation Date, any requirement that Professionals comply with sections 327
through 331 of the Bankruptcy Code in seeking retention or compensation for services rendered after such date shall terminate, and the
(Reorganized) Debtors may employ and pay all professionals without any further notice to, action
by,
or order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or any other party; provided, however, that each Professional shall provide,
during the period from the Confirmation Date to the Effective Date, its fee and expense statements or invoices, in summary form, which
shall not be required to contain time entries but shall include the number of hours billed by the applicable Professional (except for
financial advisors compensated on other than an hourly basis) and a summary statement of services provided and the expenses incurred
(which summary may be redacted or modified to the extent necessary to delete any information subject to the attorney-client or other
privilege, any information constituting attorney work product, or any other confidential or otherwise sensitive information, and the
provision of such invoices shall not constitute any waiver of the attorney-client privilege or of any benefits of the attorney work product
doctrine) to the (Reorganized) Debtors.
The
(Reorganized) Debtors shall pay in Cash all such fees and expenses of any Professional, within ten days of presentment of such statements
or invoices, if no written objections to the reasonableness of the fees and expenses charged in any such statement or invoice (or portion
thereof) is made by the (Reorganized) Debtors. Any objection raised by the (Reorganized) Debtors with respect to such fee and expense
statements or invoices shall specify in writing the amount of the contested fees and expenses and the detailed basis for such objection.
To the extent an objection only contests a portion of an invoice, the undisputed portion thereof shall be promptly paid. If any such
objection to payment of an invoice (or any portion thereof) is not otherwise resolved between the (Reorganized) Debtors, on the one hand,
and the issuer of the invoice, on the other hand, either party may submit such dispute to the Bankruptcy Court for a determination as
to the reasonableness of the relevant disputed fees and expenses set forth in the invoice.
| c. | Professional
Fee Reserve Amount |
All
Professionals shall (i) estimate their accrued and unpaid Professional Fee Claims (whether billed or unbilled) prior to and as of
the Effective Date and (ii) estimate their expected fees and expenses for professional services to be rendered or costs to be incurred
following the Effective Date (the aggregate amount of such estimated fees and expenses, the “Professional Fee Reserve Amount”);
provided, that such estimates shall not be considered an admission or limitation with respect to the fees and expenses incurred
or to be incurred by the Professionals. Each Professional shall deliver its respective estimates for its portion of the Professional
Fee Reserve Amount to the Debtors as soon as reasonably practicable before the Effective Date. If a Professional does not provide its
estimate, then the Debtors may estimate in good faith the unbilled fees and expenses for such Professional and shall fund such amount
into the Professional Fee Escrow Account.
Within
ten business days following the Confirmation Date, but in no event later than the Effective Date, the Debtors shall fund the Professional
Fee Escrow Account with Cash in an amount equal to the Professional Fee Reserve Amount.
Fees
owing to the applicable Holder of a Professional Fee Claim shall be paid in Cash to such Holder from funds held in the Professional Fee
Escrow Account when such Claims are Allowed by an order of the Bankruptcy Court or authorized to be paid pursuant to the Interim Compensation
Order; provided, that obligations with respect to Professional Fee Claims shall not
be
limited by nor deemed limited to the balance of funds held in the Professional Fee Escrow Account. To the extent that funds held in the
Professional Fee Escrow Account are insufficient to satisfy the amount of accrued Professional Fee Claims, the Reorganized Debtors shall
pay any such outstanding Professional Fee Claims.
The
Professional Fee Escrow Account shall be maintained in trust solely for the benefit of the Professionals. Such funds shall not be considered
property of the (Reorganized) Debtors or their Estates, but shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors, without any further order or action
of the Bankruptcy Court, only after all Allowed Professional Fee Claims have been paid in full. No Liens, Claims, or interests shall
encumber the Professional Fee Escrow Account in any way.
3.
Treatment of Priority Tax Claims
Except
to the extent that (a) a Priority Tax Claim has already been paid during the Chapter 11 Cases or (b) a Holder of an Allowed
Priority Tax Claim and the Debtors agree to a less favorable treatment, in full and final satisfaction, settlement, discharge, and release
of each Allowed Priority Tax Claim, each Holder of an Allowed Priority Tax Claim will receive, at the option of the applicable (Reorganized)
Debtor and the Required Consenting Stakeholders, in full satisfaction of its Allowed Priority Tax Claim that is due and payable on or
before the Effective Date, either (i) Cash equal to the amount of such Allowed Priority Tax Claim on the Effective Date or (ii) treatment
otherwise in accordance with the terms set forth in section 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy Code. To the extent any Allowed Priority
Tax Claim is not due and owing on the Effective Date, such Claim shall be paid in accordance with the terms of any agreement between
the (Reorganized) Debtors and the Holder of such Claim, as may be due and payable under applicable non-bankruptcy law, or in the ordinary
course of business. The Reorganized Debtors shall have the right to pay any Allowed Priority Tax Claim or any remaining balance of an
Allowed Priority Tax Claim (together with accrued but unpaid interest) in full at any time on or after the Effective Date without premium
or penalty.
C.
U.S. Trustee Fees
On
the Effective Date or as soon thereafter as reasonably practicable, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay all U.S. Trustee Fees that are
due and owing on the Effective Date. Following the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall pay the U.S. Trustee Fees for each open
Chapter 11 Case for each quarter (including any fraction thereof) until the first to occur of the Chapter 11 Cases being converted, dismissed,
or closed.
ARTICLE
III.
CLASSIFICATION, TREATMENT, AND VOTING OF CLAIMS AND INTERESTS
The
Plan groups the Debtors together solely for the purposes of describing treatment hereunder, Confirmation hereof, and making Plan Distributions
in accordance herewith in respect of Claims against and Interests in the Debtors under the Plan. Notwithstanding such groupings, the
Plan constitutes a separate chapter 11 plan for each Debtor. The Plan is not premised upon, and shall not cause, the substantive consolidation
of any of the Debtors. Except for the Claims addressed in Article II, all Claims and Interests are classified in the Classes set
forth below in accordance with section 1122 of the Bankruptcy Code. A Claim or an Interest is classified in a
particular
Class only to the extent that the Claim or Interest qualifies within the description of that Class. A Claim or an Interest also is classified
in a particular Class for the purpose of receiving Plan Distributions under the Plan only to the extent that such Claim or Interest is
an Allowed Claim or Interest in that Class and has not been paid, released, or otherwise satisfied prior to the Effective Date. The votes
of each Class shall be tabulated in accordance with the procedures contained in the Scheduling Order. Such classification shall not affect
any Debtor’s status as a separate legal entity, change the organizational structure of the Debtors’ business enterprise,
constitute a change of control of any Debtor for any purpose, cause a merger or consolidation of any legal entities, or cause the transfer
of any assets. Except as otherwise provided by or permitted hereunder, all Debtors shall continue to exist as separate legal entities.
The
categories of Claims and Interests listed in the table below classify Claims and Interests for all purposes, including voting, confirmation,
and Plan Distributions pursuant to the Plan and pursuant to sections 1122 and 1123(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code.3
The treatment provided in this chart is for informational purposes only and is qualified in its entirety by this Plan, including
this Article III and the disclaimers included herein. The Class numbers assigned below are for purposes of identifying each separate
Class.

Classification and Treatment of Claims and Interests
Unless
otherwise indicated, the Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as applicable, shall receive such treatment on the Effective
Date, or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, in full and final satisfaction, compromise, settlement, discharge, and release
of such Holder’s Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest (except to the extent (1) an Allowed Claim has been paid or otherwise satisfied
or (2) a Holder has agreed to receive less favorable treatment than it would otherwise be entitled to), as specified below:
3
The claims contained in this Article III do not represent claims actually asserted by Holders in Proofs of Claim or otherwise.
Any controversies regarding the classification of any Claim herein shall be governed by the procedures set forth in the Scheduling Order.
If the Bankruptcy Court finds that the classification of any Claim is improper, then such Claim shall be reclassified and the Ballot previously
cast by the Holder of such Claim shall be counted in, and the Claim shall receive the treatment prescribed in, the Class in which the
Bankruptcy Court determines such Claim should have been classified, without the necessity of resoliciting any votes on the Plan.

Transfer of Books and Records; Privilege
On
or prior to the Effective Date, all documents, books, and records of the Debtors shall be transferred and assigned to the Reorganized

their predecessors), the Consenting Stakeholders, and their respective Related Parties shall be protected by common interest privilege.

before, or after the Effective Date, the (Reorganized) Debtors, with the consent of the Required Consenting Stakeholders, may take all

or liquidation containing terms that are consistent with the terms of the Plan, and that satisfy the requirements of applicable law and
any other terms to which the applicable Entities may agree, including the documents comprising the Plan Supplement; (2) the execution
and delivery of appropriate instruments of transfer, assignment, assumption, or delegation of any asset, property, right, liability,
debt, or obligation on terms consistent with the terms of the Plan; (3) the cancelation, extinguishment or transfer of any of the

(including, for the avoidance of doubt, in a tax efficient manner), including making filings or recordings that may be required by applicable
law or retaining the corporate existence and structure of the Debtors and non-Debtor Affiliates.
C.
New Equity Interests
1.
Issuance of New Equity Interests
On
the Effective Date or as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, the New Equity Interests shall be issued by the Reorganized Parent
pursuant to the Plan and the Equity Rights Offering Documents, and the New Equity Interests shall be distributed by the Distribution
Agent to the Entities entitled to receive the New Equity Interests pursuant to, and in accordance with, the terms of the Plan, the Equity
Rights Offering Documents, the Restructuring Support Agreement, and the New Organizational Documents.
All
such New Equity Interests, and all New Equity Interests issuable in accordance with this Plan shall, upon issuance, be duly authorized,
validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. The issuance of such New Equity Interests is authorized without the need for any further
corporate or other similar action and without any further action by any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Interest.
In
connection with the foregoing, the (Reorganized) Debtors shall undertake and execute all necessary actions in order to comply with the
terms and conditions of the Plan, Equity Rights Offering Documents, Restructuring Support Agreement, and New Organizational Documents.
Any Entity’s receipt of New Equity Interests shall be deemed as its acceptance and agreement to be bound by the New Organizational
Documents, as the same may be amended or modified from time to time following the Effective Date in accordance with their terms.
2.
Exchange Act Registration and Listing
Reorganized
Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to, on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, (a) cause the
New Equity Interests to be registered under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act, (b) obtain a listing of the New Equity
Interests on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, and (c) register all of the New Equity Interests that constitute “restricted
securities” or “control securities” for purposes of Rule 144 under the Securities Act on a shelf registration statement
on Form S-1, which shall provide for offerings on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act.
3.
Exemption from Registration
The
New Equity Interests are “securities,” as defined in section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act, section 101 of the Bankruptcy
Code, and applicable state securities laws.
After
the Petition Date, the Debtors will rely on (a) Bankruptcy Code section 1145(a) to exempt from registration under the Securities Act
and Blue-Sky Laws the offer, issuance, and distribution, if applicable, of New Equity Interests under the Plan (other than the Equity
Rights Offering Holdback Shares, the Backstop Shares, and the Backstop Premium Shares), and to the extent such exemption is not available,
then such New Equity Interests will be offered, issued, and distributed under the Plan pursuant to other applicable exemptions from registration
under the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws and (b) Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D promulgated
thereunder, or Regulation S under the Securities Act, and similar Blue-Sky Laws provisions, to exempt from registration under the Securities
Act and Blue-Sky
Laws
the offer, issuance, and distribution, if applicable, of the Equity Rights Offering Holdback Shares, the Backstop Shares and the Backstop
Premium Shares to certain Holders of Senior Secured Notes Claims and certain eligible Holders of Convertible Notes Claims.
Section
1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code exempts the issuance, offer, sale, and distribution of Securities under a plan of reorganization from
registration under section 5 of the Securities Act and state or local Securities laws if the following three principal requirements are
satisfied: (a) the Securities must be offered and sold under a plan of reorganization and must be Securities of the debtor, of an
affiliate participating in a joint plan with the debtor, or of a successor to the debtor under the plan; (b) the recipients of the Securities
must hold prepetition or administrative expense claims against the debtor or interests in the debtor; and (c) the Securities must be
issued entirely in exchange for the recipient’s claim against or interest in the debtor, or principally in exchange for such claim
or interest and partly for cash or property. See 11 U.S.C. § 1145(a)(1).
The
offer, issuance, and distribution of the New Equity Interests (other than the Equity Rights Offering Holdback Shares, the Backstop Shares,
and the Backstop Premium Shares) satisfies the requirements of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and, therefore, such offering, issuance,
and distribution are exempt from registration under the Securities Act and any state or local law requiring registration. To the extent
any “offer or sale” of New Equity Interests may be deemed to have occurred, such offer or sale is made under the Plan and
in exchange for Claims against one or more of the Debtors, or principally in exchange for such Claims and partly for cash or property,
within the meaning of section 1145(a)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. The availability of the exemptions under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy
Code or any other applicable securities laws shall not be a condition to occurrence of the Effective Date of the Plan.
To
the degree that section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code is not available for the offer, issuance, and distribution of the New Equity Interests,
Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act provides that the issuance of securities by an issuer in transactions not involving a public offering
are exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Regulation D is a non-exclusive safe harbor from registration promulgated by the
SEC under the Securities Act. Regulation S provides that the offering or issuance of securities to persons that, at the time of the issuance,
were outside of the United States and were not “U.S. persons” (and were not purchasing for the account or benefit of a “U.S.
person”) within the meaning of Regulation S is exempt from registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act.
The
Equity Rights Offering Holdback Shares, the Backstop Shares, and the Backstop Premium Shares may be offered and issued without registration
under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (including,
potentially, pursuant to the safe harbor provided by Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act) or Regulation S or other applicable
exemptions. Each Holder of a Senior Secured Notes Claim or a Convertible Notes Claim that will receive the Equity Rights Offering Holdback
Shares, the Backstop Shares, and the Backstop Premium Shares is required to represent that it is an Institutional Accredited Investor,
a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined under Rule 144A of the Securities Act) or a “non-U.S. person” within
the meaning of Regulation S of the Securities Act.
The
Equity Rights Offering Holdback Shares, the Backstop Shares, and the Backstop Premium Shares will be deemed “restricted securities”
(as defined by Rule 144 under the Securities Act), will bear customary legends and transfer restrictions, and may not be offered, sold,
exchanged, assigned, or otherwise transferred unless they are registered under the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act (such as Rule 144) is available, in each case, subject to the limitations in the applicable New Organizational
Documents. Any persons receiving restricted securities under the Plan should consult with their own counsel concerning the availability
of an exemption from registration for resale of these securities under the Securities Act and other applicable law.
Subject
to any limitations in the New Organizational Documents, the New Equity Interests (other than the Equity Rights Offering Holdback Shares,
the Backstop Shares, and the Backstop Premium Shares) issued and distributed under the Plan in reliance on section 1145(a)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code may be freely transferred by recipients following the initial issuance under the Plan without registration unless, as
more fully described below, the holder is an “underwriter” with respect to such securities.
Generally,
an “underwriter” (for purposes of section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code) is any person who:
| (A) | purchases
a claim against, interest in, or claim for an administrative expense in the case concerning,
the debtor, if such purchase is with a view to distribution of any security received or to
be received in exchange for such a claim or interest; |
| (B) | offers to
sell securities offered or sold under the plan for the holders of such securities; |
| (C) | offers to
buy securities offered or sold under the plan from the holders of such securities, if such
offer to buy is— |
| (i) | with a view
to distribution of such securities; and |
| (ii) | under an
agreement made in connection with the plan, with the consummation of the plan, or with the
offer or sale of securities under the plan; or |
| (D) | is an issuer,
as defined in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, with respect to such securities. |
11
U.S.C. § 1145(b)(1). Under section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, an “issuer” includes any person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by the issuer, or any person under direct or indirect common control of the issuer. “Control,”
as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction
of the management and policies of a Person, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.
To
the extent that any Entities who receive New Equity Interests pursuant to the Plan are deemed to be “underwriters” as defined
in section 1145(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, resales of such New Equity Interests by such Entities would not be exempted by section 1145
of the Bankruptcy Code from registration under the Securities Act or other applicable law. However, resales of such New Equity Interests
satisfying the applicable requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act with respect to “control securities” (or another
available exemption under the Securities Act) may be permitted. Rule 144 permits the public resale of Securities received by such persons
if current information regarding the issuer is publicly available and if volume limitations and certain other conditions are met.
Whether
or not any particular person may be deemed to be an “underwriter” with respect to the New Equity Interests or any other Security
issued pursuant to the Plan depends upon various facts and circumstances applicable to that Entity. Accordingly, the Debtors express
no view as to whether any particular Entity receiving New Equity Interests or other Securities hereunder may be an “underwriter”
with respect to such New Equity Interests or other Securities.
Any
transfer agent, or other similarly situated agent, trustee, or other non-governmental Entity shall accept and rely upon the Plan and
Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion for purposes of determining whether the initial offer and sale of the New Common Interests
were exempt from registration under section 1145(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and whether the New Common Interests were, under the Plan,
validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
The
Reorganized Debtors need not provide any further evidence other than the Plan or the Confirmation Order to any Entity (including DTC
and any transfer agent for the New Equity Interests) with respect to the treatment of the New Equity Interests to be issued under the
Plan under applicable securities laws. DTC and any transfer agent for the New Equity Interests shall be required to accept and conclusively
rely upon the Plan and Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether the New Equity Interests to be issued under the
Plan are exempt from registration or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services, and whether the New Equity
Interests are, under the Plan, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan,
no Entity (including DTC and any transfer agent for the New Equity Interests) may require a legal opinion regarding the validity of any
transaction contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the New Equity Interests to be issued under the
Plan are exempt from registration, and whether the New Equity Interests were, under the Plan, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable.
D.
Equity Rights Offering
The
Plan provides that the Equity Rights Offering Amount will be raised through the Equity Rights Offering. On the Effective Date, the Debtors
shall consummate the Equity Rights Offering, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Backstop Commitment Agreement, the
other Equity Rights Offering Documents and the Plan.
Upon
exercise of the Subscription Rights by the Equity Rights Offering Participants pursuant to the terms of the Backstop Commitment Agreement,
the Equity Rights Offering Procedures, the Plan, and the other Equity Rights Offering Documents, the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized
to issue the Equity Rights Offering Shares (including the Equity Rights
Offering
Holdback Shares) issuable pursuant to the exercise of Subscription Rights in accordance with the Plan, the Backstop Commitment Agreement,
the Equity Rights Offering Procedures, and the other Equity Rights Offering Documents.
The
Equity Rights Offering Amount will be 100% backstopped by the Backstop Commitment Parties, and the Backstop Commitment Parties shall
be obligated on a several, but not joint and several, basis to purchase the Unsubscribed Equity in accordance with and subject to the
terms and conditions of the Backstop Commitment Agreement.
Subject
to, and in accordance with the Backstop Commitment Agreement, as consideration for the Rights Offering Backstop Commitment, (a) on the
Effective Date, the Backstop Commitment Parties shall receive the Backstop Premium Shares, which will be payable on, and as a condition
to, the Effective Date in New Equity Interests in accordance with and subject to the terms of the Backstop Commitment Agreement, subject
to dilution on account of the MIP Interests or (b) in the circumstances provided in the Backstop Commitment Agreement and subject to
the terms thereof, shall receive the Backstop Cash Premium, and shall have been fully earned as of the effective date of the Backstop
Commitment Agreement.
For
the avoidance of doubt, the Equity Rights Offering Holdback Shares, the Backstop Shares, and the Backstop Premium Shares shall be solely
on account of the new money provided through the Equity Rights Offering Holdback and the Rights Offering Backstop Commitments and not
on account of any Holder’s Senior Secured Notes Claims or Convertible Notes Claims.
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Plan, any Backstop Commitment Party that will hold, on a pro forma basis, 5.00% or more of the New Equity
Interests may elect at any time prior to the Closing Date to receive, in lieu of all or a portion of the Backstop Shares, Backstop Premium
Shares, or Equity Rights Offering Holdback Shares that would otherwise be issuable to it, pre-funded warrants to acquire such Backstop
Shares, Backstop Premium Shares, or Equity Rights Offering Holdback Shares exercisable for an exercise price equal to the par value of
the New Equity Interests (the “Pre-Funded Warrants”). The Pre-Funded Warrants will include customary beneficial ownership
limitation provisions prohibiting the exercise of the Pre-Funded Warrants to the extent that, after giving effect to an exercise of the
Pre-Funded Warrants, the Backstop Commitment Party, together with any affiliates and any members of a Section 13(d) group with the Backstop
Commitment Party and/or its affiliates, would beneficially own (as such term is defined under Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended) in excess either 4.99% or 9.99% of the outstanding New Equity Interests (which threshold shall be specified
by the applicable Backstop Commitment Party).
E.
Exit Financing
1.
Entry into Exit Financing Documents
On
the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized to enter into the Exit Financing Documents (including, for the avoidance
of doubt, all documentation allowing for the issuance of (i) the Exit Secured Notes and (ii) the Exit Revolving Credit Facility) without
the need for any further corporate or other similar action. The material Exit Financing Documents shall have terms acceptable to the
Required Consenting Stakeholders and the agents for and lenders under each respective Exit Financing Facility, the forms of which shall
be set forth in the Plan Supplement.
The
entry of the Confirmation Order shall be deemed approval of the Exit Financing Documents (including the transactions contemplated thereby,
and all actions taken, 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 the grant of all guarantees, Liens,
and other security interests contemplated thereby) and authorization for the (Reorganized) Debtors to enter into and execute the Exit
Financing Documents and such other documents as the agents and lenders thereunder may reasonably require, subject to such modifications
as the (Reorganized) Debtors may deem to be reasonably necessary to consummate the Exit Financing Facilities. The Reorganized Debtors
may use the Exit Financing Facilities for any purpose permitted thereunder.
On
the effective date of each Exit Financing Facility, (a) the (Reorganized) Debtors are authorized to execute and deliver the applicable
Exit Financing Documents and perform their obligations thereunder, including the payment or reimbursement of any fees, expenses, losses,
damages, or indemnities, (b) the applicable Exit Financing Documents shall constitute the legal, valid, and binding obligations
of the Reorganized Debtors that are parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with their terms, and (c) no obligation, payment,
transfer, or grant of security under the applicable Exit Financing Documents shall be stayed, restrained, voidable, or recoverable under
the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable law or subject to any defense, reduction, recoupment, setoff, or counterclaim. The Reorganized
Debtors and the other persons granting any Liens and security interests to secure the obligations under the applicable Exit Financing
Documents are authorized to make all filings and recordings, and to obtain all governmental approvals and consents deemed necessary or
desirable to establish and further evidence perfection of such Liens or security interests under the provisions of any applicable federal,
state, provincial, or other law (whether domestic or foreign) (it being understood that perfection shall occur automatically by virtue
of the occurrence of the Effective Date, subject to the satisfaction in full or waiver of all DIP Obligations in accordance with the
terms of the DIP Documents, 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.
2.
Exemption from Registration
In
connection with the Exit Secured Notes Financing, the Plan provides for the offering, issuance, and distribution of the Exit Secured
Notes, which are “securities,” as defined in section 2(a)(1) of the Securities Act, section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, and
applicable state securities laws.
The
Debtors are relying on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act, Regulation D promulgated thereunder, or Regulation S under the Securities
Act, and similar Blue-Sky Laws provisions, to exempt from registration under the Securities Act and Blue-Sky Laws the offer, issuance,
and distribution under the Plan of the Exit Secured Notes to Holders of Senior Secured Notes Claims and certain eligible Holders of Convertible
Notes Claims, including in connection with the Solicitation.
Section
4(a)(2) of the Securities Act provides that the offering or issuance of securities by an issuer in transactions not involving a public
offering are exempt from registration under Section 5 of the Securities Act. Regulation D is a non-exclusive safe harbor from registration
promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Act. Regulation S provides that the offering or issuance of securities to persons that, at
the time of the issuance, were outside of the United States and were not “U.S. persons” (and were not purchasing for the
account or benefit of a “U.S. person”) within the meaning of Regulation S is exempt from registration under Section 5 of
the Securities Act.
The
Exit Secured Notes may be offered and issued without registration under the Securities Act in reliance upon the exemption from registration
provided under section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act (including, potentially, pursuant to the safe harbor provided by Regulation D promulgated
under the Securities Act) or Regulation S or other applicable exemptions. Each Holder of a Senior Secured Notes Claim is a “qualified
institutional buyer” (as defined under Rule 144A of the Securities Act) or a “non-U.S. person” within the meaning of
Regulation S of the Securities Act. Each Holder of a Convertible Notes Claim that will receive the Exit Secured Notes is required to
represent that it is an Institutional Accredited Investor, a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined under Rule 144A
of the Securities Act) or a “non-U.S. person” within the meaning of Regulation S of the Securities Act.
The
Exit Secured Notes will be deemed “restricted securities” (as defined by Rule 144 of the Securities Act) that may not be
offered, sold, exchanged, assigned, or otherwise transferred unless they are registered under the Securities Act, or an exemption from
registration under the Securities Act (such as Rule 144A or Regulation S) is available, and in compliance with any applicable state or
foreign securities laws. Any and all of the Exit Secured Notes offered, issued, or distributed under the Plan pursuant to Regulation
S under the Securities Act shall be subject to any applicable restrictions on transfer set forth in Regulation S and may not be offered,
sold, exchanged, assigned, or otherwise transferred unless they are registered under the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration
under the Securities Act (such as Rule 144A or Regulation S) is available, and in compliance with any applicable state or foreign securities
laws.
Any
persons receiving restricted securities under the Plan should consult with their own counsel concerning the availability of an exemption
from registration for resale of these securities under the Securities Act and other applicable law.
The
Reorganized Debtors need not provide any further evidence other than the Plan or the Confirmation Order to any Entity (including DTC)
with respect to the treatment of the Exit Secured Notes to be issued under the Plan under applicable securities laws. DTC shall be required
to accept and conclusively rely upon the Plan and Confirmation Order in lieu of a legal opinion regarding whether the Exit Secured Notes
to be issued under the Plan are exempt from registration and/or eligible for DTC book-entry delivery, settlement, and depository services.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, no Entity (including DTC) may require a legal opinion regarding the validity of
any transaction contemplated by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, whether the Exit Secured Notes to be issued under the
Plan are exempt from registration.
F.
Boards of Directors/Managers
The
number of directors or managers that initially, on the Effective Date, shall be members of the Reorganized Debtors’ boards of directors
or managers (or similar governing entities) shall be as set forth in the New Organizational Documents or otherwise set forth in the Plan
Supplement, and shall be consistent with the terms set forth in the Governance Term Sheet. Pursuant to section 1129(a)(5) of the Bankruptcy
Code, to the extent known, the Debtors shall disclose, in the Plan Supplement, the identity and affiliations of the Persons proposed
to serve on the Reorganized Debtors’ boards of directors or managers (or similar governing entities). Commencing on the Effective
Date, each of the Reorganized Debtors’ directors or managers shall serve pursuant to the terms of applicable law and the applicable
organizational documents of such Reorganized Debtor and may be replaced or removed in accordance therewith.
Unless
reappointed pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the members of the boards of directors or managers (or similar governing entities) of
the Debtors prior to the Effective Date shall have no continuing obligations to the Company in their capacities as such on and after
the Effective Date, and each such member shall be deemed to have resigned or shall otherwise cease to be a director or manager of the
applicable Debtor on the Effective Date.
G.
New Organizational Documents; No Further Action
On
the Effective Date, the New Organizational Documents of each of the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed executed and authorized in all
respects (including by the holders of New Equity Interests).
Notwithstanding
any requirement under non-bankruptcy law, except as set forth herein, upon the Effective Date, (1) all actions contemplated by the
Plan (including the New Organizational Documents, the Exit Financing Documents, and any other document contemplated by the Plan Supplement)
and (2) all matters provided for hereunder involving the (Reorganized) Debtors’ corporate structure, or corporate action to
be taken by or required of the (Reorganized) Debtors, shall be deemed authorized and approved in all respects and shall be deemed to
have occurred (unless contemplated hereunder to occur after the Effective Date) and be effective as provided herein, without the need
for further approval, act, action (including corporate, board, shareholder, manager, or similar action), consent, or authorizations under
any applicable law, order, rule, or regulation with respect thereto.
On
the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may—and, to the extent required under this Plan or applicable non-bankruptcy law, shall—file
the New Organizational Documents with the applicable Secretary of State or other applicable authorities in its respective state or country
of incorporation or organization. After the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors may amend and restate the New Organizational Documents
in accordance with their terms, the Plan, and applicable law.
Pursuant
to, and only to the extent required by, section 1123(a)(6) of the Bankruptcy Code, except as required by applicable law, the New Organizational
Documents shall include a provision prohibiting the issuance of nonvoting equity securities.
On
the Effective Date, the Reorganized Parent shall enter into and deliver the Registration Rights Agreement to each Holder of New
Equity Interests, which shall become effective and binding in accordance with its terms and conditions upon the parties thereto
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 Entity. Holders of New Equity Interests shall be deemed to have executed the Registration
Rights Agreement and be parties thereto, without the need to deliver signature pages thereto.
H.
Cancellation of Instruments, Certificates, and Other Documents
On
the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, (1) the DIP Facility, the Senior Secured
Notes Documents, the Convertible Notes Documents, and any Interest, Certificate, share, note, bond, indenture, purchase right, option,
warrant, or other instrument or document, directly or indirectly, evidencing or creating any indebtedness or obligation of, or ownership
interest in, the Debtors giving rise to any Claim or Interest, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any and all shareholder or similar
agreements related to Interests and the DIP Documents, Senior Secured Notes Documents, and Convertible Notes Documents shall terminate,
be cancelled, discharged, and deemed surrendered, as applicable; none of the Reorganized Debtors shall have any continuing obligations
thereunder, and the Prepetition Agents/Trustees, and its respective agents, successors, and assigns shall each be automatically and fully
released and discharged of and from all duties and obligations thereunder, and (2) the obligations of the Debtors pursuant, relating,
or pertaining to any agreements, indentures, certificates of designation, bylaws, certificate or articles of incorporation, or similar
documents governing the shares, Certificates, notes, bonds, purchase rights, options, warrants, or other instruments or documents evidencing
or creating any indebtedness or obligation of the Debtors shall be released; provided, that notwithstanding such termination,
cancellation, discharge, Confirmation, Consummation, or anything to the contrary contained in the Plan, any such agreement that governs
the rights of the Holder of an Allowed Claim (including the DIP Documents, Senior Secured Notes Documents, and Convertible Notes Documents)
shall continue in effect solely for purposes of: (1) enabling (A) such Holder to receive Plan Distributions on account of such Allowed
Claim, as provided herein and (B) the Prepetition Agents/Trustees to exercise their respective charging liens for the payment of fees
and expenses and for indemnification as provided in the applicable indenture; (2) preserving all rights (including rights of enforcement),
remedies, exculpations, indemnities (including with respect to any indemnification or contribution from the respective Holders of Allowed
Claims under the DIP Documents, Senior Secured Notes Documents, and Convertible Notes Documents), powers, and protections of the Prepetition
Agents/Trustees against any Entity, pursuant to and subject to the terms of the DIP Documents, the Senior Secured Notes Documents, and
Convertible Notes Documents; (3) permitting the Prepetition Agents/Trustees to enforce the respective obligations owed to them or
their respective Holders of Claims under the Plan or the Confirmation Order, in accordance with the DIP Documents, Senior Secured Notes
Documents, and Convertible Notes Documents; and (4) permitting the Prepetition Agents/Trustees to perform any functions that are
necessary to effectuate the foregoing, including appearing in the Chapter 11 Cases or in any proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court or any
other court; provided, further, that the preceding proviso shall not affect the resolution of Claims or Interests pursuant to
the Bankruptcy Code, the Confirmation Order, or the Plan or result in any expense or liability to the (Reorganized) Debtors, as applicable,
except to the extent set forth in or provided for under the Plan or the Confirmation
Order.
For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent any Senior Secured Notes Document is, upon Consummation, either (a) an Exit Secured Notes Document
or (b) is otherwise agreed by the Debtors and the Required Consenting Noteholders to remain in full force and effect on the Effective
Date (a “Continuing Senior Secured Notes Document”), this Article IV.H shall not apply with respect to such
Senior Secured Notes Document.
I.
Subordination
The
allowance, classification, and treatment of all Claims and Interests under the Plan takes into consideration any and all subordination
rights, whether arising by contract or under general principles of equitable subordination, section 510 of the Bankruptcy Code, or otherwise.
On the Effective Date, any and all subordination rights or obligations that a Holder of a Claim or Interest may have with respect to
any Plan Distributions shall be terminated, and all actions related to the enforcement of such subordination rights shall be enjoined
permanently. Accordingly, Plan Distributions to Holders of Allowed Claims shall not be subject to turnover or payment to a beneficiary
of such terminated subordination rights, or to levy, garnishment, attachment, or other legal process by a beneficiary of such terminated
subordination rights; provided, that any such subordination rights shall be preserved in the event the Confirmation Order is vacated,
the Effective Date does not occur in accordance with the terms hereunder, or the Plan is revoked or withdrawn.
J.
Structural Simplification
At
any time after the Confirmation Date, with the consent of the Required Consenting Stakeholders, the (Reorganized) Debtors may take any
action reasonably designed to simplify the corporate structure of the (Reorganized) Debtors without the need for (1) a further order
of the Bankruptcy Court, (2) any other or further actions to be taken by or on behalf of the (Reorganized) Debtors, or (3) any
payments to be made in connection therewith. Such action may include causing any (Reorganized) Debtor to merge with and into any
other (Reorganized) Debtor or causing any (Reorganized) Debtor to liquidate or dissolve. Each of the (Reorganized) Debtors may execute
and file documents, and take all other actions as each deems appropriate, relating to the allowance of and to effect the prompt corporate
restructuring of the (Reorganized) Debtors as provided herein without the payment of any fee, tax, or charge and without the need for
the filing of reports or certificates.
Moreover,
on and after the first day following the date of any such action, the applicable (Reorganized) Debtor(s) (1) shall be deemed to
have withdrawn business operations from any jurisdiction in which they were previously conducting, or are registered or licensed to conduct,
their business operations, and shall not be required to file any document, pay any sum, or take any other action in order to effectuate
such withdrawal and (2) shall not be liable in any manner to any taxing or other authority for franchise, business, license, or
similar taxes accruing on or after such the date of any such action.
K.
Management Incentive Plan
Promptly
after the Effective Date, the New Board shall adopt the Management Incentive Plan, which will provide for the grants of equity and equity-based
awards to employees, directors,
consultants,
and other service providers of the Reorganized Debtor(s), as determined at the discretion of the New Board. The terms and conditions,
including with respect to participants, allocation, timing, and the form and structure of the equity or equity-based awards, shall be
determined at the discretion of the New Board after the Effective Date.
L.
DTC Eligibility
The
Debtors and the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly make the New Equity Interests,
other than any New Equity Interests required to bear a “restricted” legend under applicable securities laws (which shall
be deposited in DTC to the extent permitted by DTC, otherwise in book entry form), and the Exit Secured Notes eligible for deposit with
DTC.
ARTICLE
V.
PROVISIONS GOVERNING DISTRIBUTIONS
A.
Timing and Calculation of Amounts to Be Distributed
Subject
to any reserves or holdbacks established pursuant to the Plan, on the applicable Distribution Date or as soon as practicable thereafter,
Holders of Allowed Claims shall receive the full amount of Plan Distributions provided for Allowed Claims in the applicable Classes as
of such date. Because of the size and complexities of the Chapter 11 Cases, the Debtors at the present time cannot accurately predict
the timing of the Distribution Dates. In the event that any payment or act under the Plan is required to be made or performed on a date
that is not a Business Day, then the making of such payment or the performance of such act may be completed on the next succeeding Business
Day, but shall be deemed to have been completed as of the required date.
If
and to the extent there are Disputed Claims, Plan Distributions on account of any such Disputed Claims (which shall only be made if and
when they become Allowed Claims) shall be made pursuant to the provisions set forth in the Plan with respect to the treatment of Allowed
Claims on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the next Distribution Date that is at least 20 calendar days after each such Claim
is Allowed; provided, that Plan Distributions on account of Professional Fee Claims shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable
after such Claims are Allowed by the Bankruptcy Court or as provided in any other applicable order of the Bankruptcy Court.
For
all purposes associated with Plan Distributions, all guarantees by any Debtor of the obligations of any other Debtor, as well as any
joint and several liability of any Debtor with respect to any other Debtor, shall be deemed eliminated so that any obligation that could
otherwise be asserted against more than one Debtor shall result in a single Plan Distribution. For the avoidance of doubt, Claims held
by a single Entity at different Debtors that are not based on guarantees or joint and several liability shall be entitled to the applicable
distribution for such Claim at each applicable Debtor. Any such Claims shall be released and discharged pursuant to Article VIII
and shall be subject to all potential objections, defenses, and counterclaims, and to estimation pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy
Code.
B.
Sources for Plan Distributions and Transfers of Funds Among Debtors
Plan
Distributions shall be funded, as applicable, with (1) Cash on hand, including any proceeds from the Equity Rights Offering and
the Exit Financing Facilities, and (2) the other Assets of the Reorganized Debtors. The (Reorganized) Debtors shall be entitled
to transfer funds between and among the Debtors and non-Debtor subsidiaries as the (Reorganized) Debtors as deemed necessary or appropriate
to enable the payments and Plan Distributions required by the Plan.
C.
Distribution Agent
The
(Reorganized) Debtors may serve as the Distribution Agent or may retain and direct another Entity as Distribution Agent to assist with
the Plan Distributions. A Distribution Agent may make all Plan Distributions and shall be empowered to effect all actions and execute
all agreements, instruments, and other documents necessary to perform its duties hereunder and to exercise such other powers as may be
vested in such Distribution Agent by order of the Bankruptcy Court, pursuant to the Plan, or as deemed by such Distribution Agent to
be necessary and proper to carry out its duties.
Except
as otherwise set forth herein, the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized, without further Bankruptcy Court, to reimburse any Entity
for its reasonable, documented, and customary out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing post-Confirmation services directly related
to Plan Distributions.
If
a Distribution Agent is an independent third party designated to serve in such capacity, the Reorganized Debtors shall be permitted to
provide to such Distribution Agent, without further Bankruptcy Court approval, reasonable compensation for distribution services rendered
pursuant to the Plan and reimbursement of reasonable, actual, and documented out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing post-Confirmation
services directly related to Plan Distributions.
D.
De Minimis Distributions
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, neither the Reorganized Debtors nor any Distribution Agent shall be required to make Plan Distributions
or payments of less than $250 (whether Cash or otherwise), and Cash that otherwise would be payable under the Plan to Holders of Allowed
Claims but for this provision shall be available for Plan Distributions to other Holders of Allowed Claims.
E.
Delivery of Plan Distributions—Allowed Claims
The
Distribution Record Date shall not apply to Securities held through DTC for which a Plan Distribution is made in exchange for such Securities.
Distributions to claims other than with respect to Securities held through DTC shall only be made to the record Holders of Allowed Claims
as of the Distribution Record Date, at which time the Claims Register shall be deemed closed for purposes of determining whether a Holder
of such a Claim is a record Holder entitled to Plan Distributions. The (Reorganized) Debtors, any Distribution Agent, the Prepetition
Agents/Trustees, and each of the foregoing’s respective Related Parties shall have no obligation to recognize, for purposes of
Plan Distributions pursuant to, or in any way arising from, the Plan
(or
for any other purpose), any Claims that are transferred after the Distribution Record Date. Instead, the foregoing parties shall be entitled
to recognize only those record Holders set forth in the registers as of the Distribution Record Date. Furthermore, if a Claim is transferred
20 or fewer calendar days before the Distribution Record Date, Plan Distributions shall be made to the transferee only if the transfer
form contains an unconditional and explicit certification and waiver of any objection to the transfer by the transferor.
With
respect to a Plan Distribution to be made with Cash, if any dispute arises as to the identity of a Holder of an Allowed Claim that is
entitled to receive a Plan Distribution, in lieu of making such Plan Distribution to such person, the Plan Distributions may be made
into an escrow account until the disposition thereof is determined by Final Order or by written agreement among the interested parties
to such dispute.
Subject
to Bankruptcy Rule 9010, a Plan Distribution to a Holder of an Allowed Claim to be sent by mail may be delivered to (1) the address
provided by such Holder, if any, (2) the address set forth on the first page of any Proof of Claim Filed by such Holder, (3) the
last known address of such Holder on the books and records of the Debtors or their agents if such Holder did not File a Proof of Claim,
(4) the address set forth in any written notice of an address change delivered to the (Reorganized) Debtors or any Distribution
Agent, (5) in the case of a Holder whose Claim is governed by an agreement and administered by an agent, the address contained in
the official records of such Entity, or (6) the address of any counsel that has appeared in the Chapter 11 Cases on such Holder’s
behalf. The foregoing shall also apply with respect to any forms or notices related to Plan Distributions that, for the avoidance of
doubt, may be sent via email to an email address that satisfies any of subclauses (1)–(6) in the previous sentence.
All
distributions on account of the Senior Secured Notes Claims shall be made to, or at the direction of, the Senior Secured Notes Trustee
for further distribution to the Senior Secured Noteholders in accordance with the Senior Secured Notes Documents, and subject to the
rights of the Senior Secured Notes Trustee to assert its charging lien under the Senior Secured Notes Documents. If the Senior Secured
Notes Trustee is unable to make, or consents to the Reorganized Debtors making, such distributions, the Reorganized Debtors, with the
cooperation of the Senior Secured Notes Trustee, shall make such distributions to the extent practicable to do so, provided that any
charging lien of the Senior Secured Notes Trustee shall attach to the property to be distributed in the same manner as if such distributions
were made through the Senior Secured Notes Trustee. The Senior Secured Notes Trustee shall have no duties or responsibility relating
to any form of distribution that is not DTC eligible and the Debtors or the Reorganized Debtors, as applicable, shall seek the cooperation
of DTC so that any distribution on account of a Senior Secured Notes Claim that is held in the name of, or by a nominee of, DTC, shall
be made through the facilities of DTC on the Effective Date or as soon as practicable thereafter. The Reorganized Debtors shall reimburse
the Senior Secured Notes Trustee for any reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred after the Effective Date in connection
with making distributions pursuant to and in accordance with the Plan.
F.
Fractional New Equity Interests
Notwithstanding
any other provision herein to the contrary, no fractional New Equity Interests shall be issued or distributed pursuant to this Plan.
Whenever any Plan Distribution of a
fraction
of a New Equity Interest would otherwise be required hereunder, the actual Plan Distribution made shall reflect a rounding of such fraction
to the nearest whole New Equity Interest (up or down), with fractions half or less being rounded down and fractions in excess of a half
being rounded up. If two or more Holders are entitled to equal fractional entitlements and the number of Holders so entitled exceeds
the number of whole New Equity Interests, as the case may be, which remain to be allocated, the (Reorganized) Debtors shall allocate
the remaining whole New Equity Interests to such Holders by random lot or such other impartial method as the (Reorganized) Debtors deem
fair (in the (Reorganized) Debtors’ sole discretion). Upon the allocation of all the whole New Equity Interests authorized hereunder,
all remaining fractional portions of the entitlements shall be cancelled and shall be of no further force and effect.
G.
Manner of Payment Under the Plan
Any
Cash payment may be made by check, wire transfer, or any other customary payment method. In the case of non-U.S. creditors, Cash payments
may be made in such funds and by such means as are necessary or customary in the applicable jurisdiction.
H.
Allocation of Plan Distributions Between Principal and Interest
Plan
Distributions in respect of Allowed Claims shall be allocated first to the principal amount of the Allowed Claim (as determined for federal
income tax purposes) and then, to the extent the consideration exceeds the principal amount of an Allowed Claim, to any portion of such
Allowed Claim for accrued but unpaid interest for all purposes, including federal income tax purposes.
I.
Compliance Matters
In
connection with the Plan, each Reorganized Debtor and any Distribution Agent, as applicable, shall comply with all tax deduction, withholding,
payment, and reporting requirements imposed by applicable law, and all Allowed Claims and Plan Distributions shall be subject to any
such deduction, withholding, and reporting requirements as determined in the good-faith discretion of the Reorganized Debtors or a Distribution
Agent, as applicable. In connection with the Plan and all Plan Distributions, the (Reorganized) Debtors and any Distribution Agent are
authorized to take any and all actions that may be deemed necessary or appropriate to comply with the foregoing requirements (including,
in the case of a non-Cash issuance that is subject to withholding, liquidating a portion of the Plan Distributions to generate sufficient
funds to pay applicable withholding taxes; provided, however, that, in such case, the Distribution Agent shall first notify the
intended recipient in writing of such contemplated sale and offer the intended recipient a reasonable opportunity to provide sufficient
Cash to satisfy such withholding tax in lieu of such liquidation, and withholding Plan Distributions pending receipt of information necessary
to facilitate such Plan Distributions) and establish any other mechanisms that the (Reorganized) Debtors or any Distribution Agent, as
applicable, believe are reasonable and appropriate, and all Allowed Claims and Plan Distributions shall be subject to any such withholding
and reporting requirements. All Holders of Claims shall be required to provide an IRS Form W-9 or an appropriate IRS Form W-8 and any
other IRS Form and any other information (including information with respect to any underlying Beneficial Owners) necessary to allow
the Reorganized Debtors to comply with all withholding, payment, and reporting requirements with respect to such
taxes.
The Reorganized Debtors and any Distribution Agent, as applicable, reserve the right to withhold the full amount required by law on any
Plan Distribution on account of any Holder of an Allowed Claim that fails to timely provide the required information to a Distribution
Agent or the Reorganized Debtors. The Reorganized Debtors and any Distribution Agent each reserve the right to allocate and distribute
all Plan Distributions in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support and other spousal awards, Liens, and
similar encumbrances. Any amounts deducted, withheld, or reallocated pursuant to this Article V shall be treated as if distributed
to the Holder of the Allowed Claim.
J.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate
As
of the Confirmation Date, any Claim denominated in a currency other than U.S. dollars shall be automatically deemed converted to the
equivalent U.S. dollar value using the exchange rate on the Petition Date, as quoted at 4:00 p.m. (prevailing Eastern Time), midrange
spot rate of exchange for the applicable currency as published in the Wall Street Journal, National Edition, on the day after
the Petition Date. The (Reorganized) Debtors and the Claims and Solicitation Agent are authorized to update the Claims Register to reflect
the foregoing without the need to File an application, motion, complaint, objection, or any other legal proceeding seeking to adjust
such Claim and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or the Holder of such Claim, as applicable.
K.
Fractional Dollars
Notwithstanding
any other provision of the Plan, Plan Distributions or payments pursuant to the Plan need not be made in fractions of dollars. Whenever
any payment of a fraction of a dollar under the Plan would otherwise be called for, the actual payment shall reflect a rounding of such
fraction down to the nearest whole dollar.
L.
Undeliverable, Unclaimed, or Non-Negotiated Plan Distributions
Plan
Distributions shall not be made to a Holder who is the intended recipient of an Unclaimed Distribution. The underlying Claim of an Unclaimed
Distribution shall be automatically discharged and cancelled, and may be expunged from the Claims Register by the Reorganized Debtors
or the Claims and Solicitation Agent without the need to File an application, motion, complaint, objection, or any other legal proceeding
seeking to expunge such Claim and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or the Holder of
such Claim, as applicable. The Holder of such Claim shall be deemed to have forfeited its Claim and shall be forever barred and enjoined
from asserting any such claim against the (Reorganized) Debtors and their Estates, any Distribution Agent, and each of the foregoing’s
respective agents, attorneys, representatives, employees, or independent contractors or any of its or their property. Unclaimed Distributions
shall be deemed unclaimed property under section 347(b) of the Bankruptcy Code. All title to and all beneficial interests in the Cash
relating to such Unclaimed Distribution, including any dividends or interest attributable thereto, shall remain with or revert to the
Reorganized Debtors; checks previously delivered with respect to a now-Unclaimed Distribution shall be null and void; Unclaimed Distributions
that are New Equity Interests shall be cancelled notwithstanding any state or other escheat or similar laws to the contrary. The reversion
of such Cash shall be free of any restrictions thereon notwithstanding any
applicable
federal or state escheat, abandoned, or unclaimed property laws, or any provisions in any document governing the Plan Distribution that
is an Unclaimed Distribution, to the contrary. Nothing contained in the Plan shall require the (Reorganized) Debtors or any Distribution
Agent to attempt to locate any Holder of an Allowed Claim.
M.
Claims Paid by Third Parties
To
the extent a Holder of an Allowed Claim receives a Plan Distribution on account of a Claim and also receives payment from a party that
is not a (Reorganized) Debtor or a Distribution Agent on account of such Claim, such Holder shall, within 14 calendar days of receipt
thereof, repay or return the Plan Distribution to the applicable Reorganized Debtor, to the extent that the Holder’s total recovery
on account of such Claim from the third party and under the Plan exceeds the amount of the Claim as of the date of any such Plan Distribution.
The failure of such Holder to timely repay or return such Plan Distribution shall result in the Holder owing the Reorganized Debtors
annualized interest at the Federal Judgment Rate on such amount owed for each calendar day after the 14-day grace period specified
above until the amount is repaid.
To
the extent that a Holder receives payment in full or in part on account of a Claim, such Claim may be adjusted or expunged on the Claims
Register without a claims objection having to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy
Court or the Holder of such Claim, as applicable; provided, that, to the extent the non-Debtor party making the payment is subrogated
to the Holder’s Claim, the non-Debtor party shall have a 30-calendar-day grace period following payment in full to notify the Claims
and Solicitation Agent and the Reorganized Debtors of such subrogation rights.
N.
Claims Payable by Third Parties
To
the extent that one or more of the Debtors’ Insurers satisfies any Claim in full or in part, then immediately upon such satisfaction,
such Claim may be expunged from or reduced on (to the extent of such satisfaction) the Claims Register without a Claims objection having
to be Filed and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or the Holder of such Claim, as applicable.
Nothing contained herein shall constitute or be deemed a waiver of any Cause of Action that a Debtor or any Entity may hold against any
other non-Debtor Entity (including Insurers) under any Insurance Contract, nor shall anything contained herein constitute or be deemed
a waiver by such Insurers of any defenses, including coverage defenses, held by such Insurers under any such Insurance Contract.
ARTICLE
VI.
PROCEDURES FOR RESOLVING CLAIMS
This
Article VI shall not apply to DIP Superpriority Claims, Senior Secured Notes Claims, and Convertible Notes Claims, which Claims
shall be Allowed in accordance with the Plan and not be subject to any avoidance, reductions, setoff, offset, recharacterization, subordination
(whether equitable, contractual, or otherwise), counterclaims, crossclaims, defenses, disallowance, impairment, objection, or any other
challenges under any applicable law or regulation by any Entity. This Article VI shall also not apply to Professional Fee Claims,
objections to which shall be governed by the Bankruptcy Rules, Local Rules, or an order of the Bankruptcy Court.
A.
Objections to Claims
Notwithstanding
section 502(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, and in light of the Unimpaired status of all Allowed General Unsecured Claims under the Plan,
except as required by the Plan, Holders of Claims need not File Proofs of Claim, and the (Reorganized) Debtors and the Holders of Claims
shall determine, adjudicate, and resolve any disputes over the validity and amounts of such Claims in the ordinary course of business
as if the Chapter 11 Cases had not been commenced, except that (unless expressly waived pursuant to the Plan) the Allowed amount of such
Claims shall be subject to the limitations or maximum amounts permitted by the Bankruptcy Code, including sections 502 and 503 of the
Bankruptcy Code, to the extent applicable. If a Holder of a Claim Files or submits a Proof of Claim in the Chapter 11 Cases, such Claim
shall be considered objected to and Disputed without further action by the Debtors, and the Holder electing to File such Claim shall
be deemed to have consented to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for all purposes with respect to the Claim.
After
the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive authority to object to all Claims that are not Allowed Claims. If
any objection to a Claim Filed by the Debtors remains pending as of the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall be deemed substituted
for the Debtors as the objecting party.
Except
as otherwise provided herein, agreed to by the (Reorganized) Debtors (in their or its sole discretion), or otherwise approved by the
Bankruptcy Court, each Proof of Claim Filed after the Effective Date shall be deemed Disallowed and forever barred, estopped, and enjoined
from assertion, and shall not be enforceable against any Reorganized Debtor; such Proofs of Claim shall be Disallowed without the need
for any objection by the Reorganized Debtors or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court and can be
expunged from the Claims Register (including by the Claims and Solicitation Agent). Holders of such Claims may not receive any Plan Distributions
on account of such Claims, unless, on or before the Confirmation Hearing, such late-Filed Claim has been deemed timely Filed by a Final
Order or as agreed by the Debtors in writing (email being sufficient).
The
Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive authority to determine, without the need for notice to or action, order, or approval of
the Bankruptcy Court, that any Unimpaired Claim is Allowed. The Reorganized Debtors shall also be entitled to assert all of the (Reorganized)
Debtors’ rights, claims, defenses, offsets, rights of recoupment, setoffs, rights of disallowance, subrogation, recharacterization,
and equitable subordination and counterclaims with respect to Claims.
B.
Resolution of Disputed Claims
On
and after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall have the exclusive authority to File, litigate, compromise, settle, otherwise
resolve, or withdraw any objections to Claims, to compromise and settle any such Claims, and to administer and adjust the Claims Register
to reflect any such settlement or compromise, in each case, without notice to or approval by the Bankruptcy Court or any other party.
C.
Estimation of Claims and Interests
Before
the Effective Date, the Debtors, and on or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors, in consultation with the Required Consenting
Stakeholders, may (but are not required to) determine, resolve, and otherwise adjudicate all Contingent Claims, Unliquidated Claims,
and Disputed Claims in the Bankruptcy Court or such other court of the (Reorganized) Debtors’ choice having jurisdiction over the
validity, nature, or amount thereof. At any time, the (Reorganized) Debtors may request that the Bankruptcy Court estimate any Contingent
Claim, Unliquidated Claim, or Disputed Claim pursuant to section 502(c) of the Bankruptcy Code for any reason or purpose, regardless
of whether any party in interest has previously objected to such Claim or whether the Bankruptcy Court has ruled on any such objection.
The Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction to estimate any Claim at any time during litigation concerning any objection to any Claim,
including during the pendency of any appeal relating to any such objection. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan,
a Claim that has been expunged from the Claims Register, but either is subject to appeal or has not become a Final Order, shall be deemed
to be estimated at zero dollars unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court. If the Bankruptcy Court estimates any Contingent Claim,
Unliquidated Claim, or Disputed Claim, that estimated amount shall constitute the maximum limitation on such Claim for all purposes and
may be used as evidence in any supplemental proceedings, and the (Reorganized) Debtors may pursue supplementary proceedings to object
to the ultimate allowance of such Claim; provided, that such limitation shall not apply to Claims requested by the Debtors to
be estimated for voting purposes only.
Each
of the foregoing Claims and objection, estimation, and resolution procedures are cumulative and not exclusive of one another. Claims
may be estimated and subsequently compromised, settled, withdrawn, or resolved by any mechanism approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Notwithstanding
section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy Code, in no event shall any Holder of a Claim that has been estimated pursuant to section 502(c) of
the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise be entitled to seek reconsideration of such Claim unless such Holder has Filed a motion requesting the
right to seek such reconsideration on or before 20 calendar days after the date such Claim is estimated by the Bankruptcy Court.
D.
No Distributions Pending Allowance or Settlement of Causes of Action
Notwithstanding
any other provision hereof, no payments or Plan Distributions shall be made (1) for a Disputed Claim, unless and until all objections
to such Disputed Claim have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by a Final Order and the Disputed Claim has become an Allowed
Claim, (2) to a specific Holder of an Allowed Claim, if such Holder is also the Holder of a Disputed Claim, unless and until all
objections to such Disputed Claim(s) have been settled or withdrawn or have been determined by a Final Order and each Disputed Claim
has become an Allowed Claim, or (3) to a specific Holder of an Allowed Claim, if such Holder is or may be liable to the (Reorganized)
Debtors on account of a Cause of Action, unless and until such Cause of Action (to the extent applicable and without prejudice to the
rights of any Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim to argue that section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable to its Administrative
Claim) has been settled or withdrawn or has been determined by Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or such other court having jurisdiction
over the matter; provided, that if only a portion of an Allowed 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. Following any such settlement or determination in clause
(3) of the preceding sentence where the Holder of a Claim is liable to the (Reorganized) Debtors on account of any Cause of Action, any
such payment or Plan Distribution to such Holder may be offset against the liability such Holder has to the (Reorganized) Debtors.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing or any other provision in the Plan or the Plan Documents, nothing in the Plan or the Plan Documents shall (1) constitute
a determination that section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code is, or is not, applicable to Administrative Claims or (2) prejudice the
rights of (a) any Holder of an Allowed Administrative Claim to File a motion (or prosecute a pending motion) before or after the
Effective Date, seeking entry of an order compelling payment of its Allowed Administrative Claim on or after the Effective Date on the
basis that section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code is inapplicable to its Allowed Administrative Claim or (b) the (Reorganized) Debtors
to oppose any such motion on any grounds.
E.
No Amendments to Claims
On
and after the Confirmation Date, the Holder of a Claim (other than a Professional Fee Claim) must obtain the (Reorganized) Debtors’
written consent (email being sufficient) or a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court to amend a Claim. Unless otherwise permitted by a Final
Order of the Bankruptcy Court, any Proofs of Claim that violate this Article VI.E shall be Disallowed without the need for any
objection by the (Reorganized) Debtors or any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court and can be expunged
from the Claims Register (including by the Claims and Solicitation Agent).
F.
No Late-Filed Claims
All
Claims Filed after the Effective Date and for which no Final Order has been entered by the Bankruptcy Court determining that such Claims
were timely Filed shall be Disallowed and expunged from the Claims Register (including by the Claims and Solicitation Agent) at the direction
of the (Reorganized) Debtors to reflect the same, without the need to File an application, motion, complaint, objection, or any other
legal proceeding seeking to adjust or expunge such Claim and without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy
Court or the Holder of such Claim, as applicable. The (Reorganized) Debtors have no obligation to review or respond to any Claim Filed
after the Effective Date unless (1) the filer has obtained a Final Order from the Bankruptcy Court authorizing it to File such Claim
after the Effective Date or (2) the (Reorganized) Debtors have consented to the Filing of such Claim in writing.
G.
No Interest
Other
than as provided by section 506(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or as specifically provided for in the DIP Order, the Plan, or the Confirmation
Order, post-petition interest shall not accrue or be paid on Claims and no Holder of a Claim shall be entitled to interest accruing on
or after the Petition Date on any Claim or right. Additionally, and without limiting the foregoing, interest shall not accrue or be paid
on any Claim or Disputed Claim for the period from and after the Effective Date; provided, that nothing in this Article VI
shall limit any rights of any Governmental Unit to interest under section 503, 506(b), 1129(a)(9)(A), or 1129(a)(9)(C) of the Bankruptcy
Code or as otherwise provided for under applicable law.
H.
Adjustment to Claims Without Objection
Any
Claim that has been paid or otherwise satisfied (in whole or in part), amended, superseded, cancelled, or otherwise Disallowed (including
pursuant to the Plan), any Claim that has been Filed against the wrong Debtor, and any Claim that is duplicative or redundant of another
Claim against the same Debtor, may, on or after the Confirmation Date, be adjusted on or expunged from the Claims Register (including
by the Claims and Solicitation Agent) at the direction of the (Reorganized) Debtors to reflect the same, without the need to File an
application, motion, complaint, objection, or any other legal proceeding seeking to adjust or expunge such Claim and without any further
notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court or the Holder of such Claim, as applicable.
I.
Reservation of Rights to Object to Claims
The
failure of the (Reorganized) Debtors to object to any Claim shall not be construed as an admission to the amount, priority, character,
or validity of any such Claim, any portion thereof, or any other claim related thereto, whether or not such claim is asserted in any
currently pending or subsequently initiated proceeding, and shall be without prejudice to the right of the (Reorganized) Debtors to contest,
challenge the validity of, or otherwise defend against, any such Claim in the Bankruptcy Court or non-bankruptcy forum.
J.
Disallowance of Claims
Any
Claims held by an Entity from which the Bankruptcy Court has determined that property is recoverable under section 542, 543, 550, or
553 of the Bankruptcy Code, or that is a transferee of a transfer that the Bankruptcy Court has determined is avoidable under section
522(f), 522(h), 544, 545, 547, 548, 549, or 724(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, unless such Entity has paid the amount, or turned over any
such property, for which such Entity is liable under section 522(i), 542, 543, 550, or 553 of the Bankruptcy Code, shall be deemed Disallowed
pursuant to section 502(d) of the Bankruptcy Code, and Holders of such Claims may not receive any Plan Distributions on account of such
Claims until such time as all Causes of Action against that Entity have been settled or a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court with respect
thereto has been entered and the full amount of such obligation to the Debtors has been paid or turned over in full.
K.
Reimbursement or Contribution
If
the Bankruptcy Court disallows a Claim for reimbursement or contribution of an Entity pursuant to section 502(e)(1)(B) of the Bankruptcy
Code, then to the extent that such Claim is Contingent as of the Effective Date, such Claim, notwithstanding section 502(j) of the Bankruptcy
Code, (1) shall be deemed Disallowed as of the Effective Date without the need for any objection thereto or any further notice to
or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court and (2) can be expunged from the Claims Register (including by the Claims
and Solicitation Agent) unless, in each case, prior to the Effective Date (1) such Claim has been adjudicated as noncontingent or
(2) the Holder of such Claim has Filed a noncontingent Proof of Claim on account of such Claim and a Final Order has been entered
determining such Claim as no longer Contingent.
ARTICLE
VII.
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
A.
Assumption and Rejection of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
Except
as otherwise provided in the Plan or a Final Order, each Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease shall be deemed automatically assumed
(subject to the payment of any applicable Cure Cost), pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the Effective Date,
without the need for any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired
Lease: (1) has been previously assumed, assumed and assigned, or rejected by the Debtors pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy
Court, in which case, such Final Order shall control; (2) previously expired or was terminated pursuant to its terms; (3) is
the subject of a motion or notice of intent to assume, assume and assign, or reject pending as of the Effective Date; or (4) is
otherwise rejected pursuant to the terms hereof (including any Schedule of Rejected Contracts), in which case such rejections shall be
deemed effective on the Effective Date (or earlier, if so set forth herein or on any Schedule of Rejected Contracts). Except as otherwise
provided herein, each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan shall revest in and be fully enforceable
by the applicable Reorganized Debtor(s) in accordance with its terms, except as modified hereby.
Contracts
and leases entered into after the Petition Date by any Debtor will be performed by the applicable (Reorganized) Debtor liable thereunder
in the ordinary course of its business or as authorized by the Bankruptcy Court. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any
assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) shall survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order and, on the
Effective Date, shall revest in and be fully enforceable by the applicable Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as
such terms may have been modified by a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.
Except
as otherwise provided herein, or agreed to by the (Reorganized) Debtors and the applicable counterparty, each assumed Executory Contract
or Unexpired Lease shall include all modifications, amendments, supplements, restatements, or other agreements related thereto, and all
rights related thereto, if any, including all easements, licenses, permits, rights, privileges, immunities, indemnities, options, rights
of first refusal, and any other interests. To the maximum extent permitted by law, and 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, 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.
Modifications,
amendments, supplements, and restatements to prepetition Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases that have been executed by the Debtors
during the Chapter 11 Cases and actions taken in accordance therewith (1) do not alter in any way the prepetition nature of the
Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases, or the validity, priority, or amount of any Claims that may arise under the same, (2) are
not and do not create post-petition contracts or leases, (3) do not elevate to administrative expense priority any prepetition Claims
of the counterparties to the Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases against any of the Debtors, and (4) do not entitle any
Entity
to a Claim under any section of the Bankruptcy Code on account of the difference between the terms of any prepetition Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases and subsequent modifications, amendments, supplements, or restatements.
The
Restructuring Support Agreement shall be assumed upon Confirmation and the Debtors and Consenting Stakeholders shall continue to perform
thereunder and comply therewith in all respects during the period through and including the Effective Date.
The
Confirmation Order shall constitute an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the assumptions, assumptions and assignments, and rejections
described in this Article VII, pursuant to sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, as of the date made applicable by the
preceding paragraph.
B.
Cure of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases
All
Cure Costs shall be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the default amount in Cash on the
Effective Date or in the ordinary course of business, subject to the limitations described herein, or on such other terms as the parties
to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease may otherwise agree. In the event of a dispute regarding (1) the amount of any Cure Claim,
(2) the ability of the Reorganized Debtors or any assignee to provide “adequate assurance of future performance” (within
the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed, or (3) any other matter
pertaining to assumption (each, an “Assumption Dispute”), the Bankruptcy Court shall hear such dispute prior to the
assumption becoming effective; provided, that the (Reorganized) Debtors may settle any such dispute and shall pay any agreed upon
cure amount without any further notice to any party or any action, order, or approval.
To
the extent an Assumption Dispute relates solely to proposed Cure Costs, the applicable (Reorganized) Debtor may assume or assume and
assign the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease prior to the resolution of the Assumption Dispute; provided, that
such (Reorganized) Debtor reserves Cash in an amount sufficient to pay the full amount asserted as the required cure payment by the non-Debtor
party to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (or such smaller amount as may be fixed or estimated by the Bankruptcy Court).
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, (1) no pending Assumption Dispute shall prevent or delay Plan Consummation and (2) to the
extent an Assumption Dispute is resolved or determined against the applicable (Reorganized) Debtor, within 45 days of such resolution
or determination, such (Reorganized) Debtor may reject the applicable Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, and the non-Debtor counterparty
may thereafter File a Proof of Claim for any purported Rejection Damages in accordance with the Plan.
Assumption
of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan or otherwise, and full payment of any applicable Cure Costs pursuant
to this Article VII.B, shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Cure Costs, other Claims, or defaults, whether
monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other
bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date
of assumption. Any and all
Proofs
of Claim based upon Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases that have been assumed in the Chapter 11 Cases, including pursuant to the
Confirmation Order, and for which any Cure Cost has been fully satisfied, shall be deemed Disallowed upon the later of entry of the Confirmation
Order or such satisfaction in full without the need for any objection thereto or any further notice to or action, order, or approval
of the Bankruptcy Court and can be expunged from the Claims Register (including by the Claims and Solicitation Agent).

contained in the Plan (including the Plan Supplement) constitutes an admission by the Debtors or any other party that any contract or
lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or that any Debtor, any Reorganized Debtor, or any other Entity 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, the
(Reorganized) Debtors shall have 90 days following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract
or lease. If any such dispute is not timely resolved, either party may submit the dispute to the Bankruptcy Court for adjudication.

modified, reduced, discharged, impaired, revoked, or otherwise affected in any way, (d) not be limited, reduced, or terminated after
the Effective Date, and (e) survive unaffected irrespective of whether such indemnification is owed for an act or event occurring
before, on, or after the Petition Date; provided, that the immediately preceding subclauses (a)–(e) shall not apply to any
obligation of any Debtor to indemnify, hold harmless, or any obligation of similar import that is on account of conduct determined in

Insurance-Related Provisions
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the Plan, the Plan Documents, the Confirmation Order, any Claim objection, any other document related to
any of the foregoing, or any other order of the Bankruptcy Court (including any other provision that purports to be preemptory or supervening,
grants an injunction, discharge, or release, confers Bankruptcy Court jurisdiction, or requires a party to opt out of any releases):
| 1. | nothing,
including the vesting of the Insurance Contracts with the Reorganized Debtors or any relief
permitting any Entity to pursue proceeds available under any Insurance Contracts granted
pursuant to this Plan, the Plan Documents, the Confirmation Order, or any other Final Order
of the Bankruptcy Court, shall impair, expand, or modify (a) the rights and obligations
of the (Reorganized) Debtors (and their Estates), named insureds, any insured or beneficiary,
or any of the Insurers under any of the Insurance Contracts, (b) the coverage and benefits
provided under the Insurance Contracts, (c) the obligations, terms, and conditions of

| 2. | on and after
the Effective Date (a) all Insurance Contracts which identify any of the Debtors as
first named insureds or as a counterparty thereto shall vest unaltered in their entireties
with the Reorganized Debtors, (b) any nonmonetary obligations, together with direct
or derivative rights, interests, claims, entitlements, or Causes of Action, of any Debtor
under any of the Insurance Contracts, including the rights of any Debtor to proceeds, indemnification,
reimbursement, contribution, benefits, |
or other
payment arising, at any time, out of or under the Insurance Contracts, regardless of whether such rights or obligations arise or become
due before or after the Effective Date, shall vest with the Reorganized Debtors, (c) the Reorganized Debtors shall have standing

After
the Confirmation Date, none of the (Reorganized) Debtors shall terminate or otherwise reduce the “side-A” coverage under
any D&O Liability Insurance Policy in effect on the Confirmation Date with respect to conduct occurring prior thereto. Each such
Entity shall be entitled to the full benefits of any such side-A coverage for the full term of such policy, subject to the terms and
conditions thereof and hereof, regardless of whether such Entity is an “insured” on or after the Effective Date.
At
all times after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtors shall purchase or maintain “side-A” liability tail coverage for
the six-year period following the Effective Date on terms no less favorable than, and with an aggregate limit of liability upon the Effective
Date of no less than the aggregate limit of liability under, the “side-A” coverage provided through the Debtors’ existing
D&O Liability Insurance Policies. From and after the Effective Date, reasonable directors’ and officers’ insurance policies
shall remain in place in the ordinary course.
ARTICLE
VIII.
EFFECT OF CONFIRMATION OF THE PLAN
A.
Release of Liens
Except
as otherwise provided in the Plan or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created pursuant to the Plan
or the Confirmation Order, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable Plan Distributions being made and, in the case
of a Secured Claim, satisfaction in full of the portion of the Secured Claim that is Allowed as of the Effective Date in accordance with
the Plan, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall be fully
released, settled, discharged, and compromised, without any further approval or order of the Bankruptcy Court and without any action
or filing being required to be made by the (Reorganized) Debtors, and all rights, titles, and interests of any Holder of such mortgages,
deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests against any property of the Estates shall revert to the Reorganized Debtors
and their successors and assigns. On and after the Effective Date, each party secured by such pre-Effective Date mortgages, deeds of
trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests (including the Prepetition Agent) shall execute and deliver (at the request and expense
of the Reorganized Debtors), and the Reorganized Debtors shall be authorized to file, any documents deemed necessary or appropriate to

security interests. With respect to the security interests securing the DIP Obligations, the release and termination of such security
interests shall be subject to satisfaction in full or waiver of all DIP Obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable DIP
Documents.
To
the extent that any Holder of a Secured Claim that has been satisfied in full pursuant to the Plan, or any agent for such Holder, has
filed or recorded publicly any Liens or security interests to secure such Holder’s Secured Claim, then as soon as practicable on
or after the Effective Date, such Holder (or its agent) shall take any and all steps requested by the Reorganized Debtors that are deemed
reasonable, necessary, or appropriate to record or effectuate the cancellation or extinguishment of such Liens or security interests,
including the making of any applicable filings or recordings, and the Reorganized Debtors shall be entitled to make any such filings
or recordings on such Holder’s behalf.
B.
Releases; Discharges
The
releases and discharges of Claims, Interests, and Causes of Action described in the Plan, including releases by the Debtors and by Holders,
constitute good-faith compromises and settlements of the matters covered thereby and such releases are consensual. Such compromises and
settlements are made in exchange for consideration, are in the best interest of Holders, are fair, equitable, and reasonable, and are
integral elements of the resolution of the Chapter 11 Cases in accordance with the Plan.
Each
of the release, indemnification, discharge, and exculpation provisions set forth in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order (1) is
within the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court under sections 1334(a), 1334(b), and 1334(e) of title 28 of the United States Code, (2) is
an essential means of implementing the Plan, (3) is an integral and non-severable element of the transactions incorporated into
the Plan, (4) confers a material benefit on, and is in the best interests of, the Debtors, their Estates, and their creditors, (5) is
important to the overall objectives of the Plan to finally resolve all claims among or against the parties in interest in the Chapter
11 Cases with respect to the Debtors, (6) is fair, equitable, and reasonable and in exchange for good and valuable consideration,
and (7) is consistent with sections 105, 1123, 1129, 1141, and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the releases, stipulations, and exculpation provisions hereof are in addition to and do not replace,
the release, stipulations, and other provisions of any Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.
To
the fullest extent provided under section 1141(d)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code and other applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code,
except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or the Confirmation Order: (1) all consideration distributed under the Plan shall
be in complete satisfaction, settlement, discharge, and release of, or in exchange for (as applicable), all Claims and Interests of any
kind or nature whatsoever against the 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 Interests; (2) the Plan shall bind all Entities who have
held, hold, or may hold Claims against or Interests in the Debtors; and (3) all Entities shall be precluded from asserting against
the (Reorganized) Debtors, their Estates, their successors and assigns, and their assets and properties any other Claims or Interests
based upon any documents, instruments, act, omission, transaction, or other activity of any kind or nature that occurred prior to the
Effective Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, upon the Effective Date, the Debtors
shall be deemed discharged and released under and to the fullest extent
provided
under section 1141(d)(1)(A) of the Bankruptcy Code from any and all Claims and Interests of any kind or nature whatsoever, including
demands and liabilities that arose on or before the Effective Date, and all debts of the kind specified in section 502(g), 502(h), or
502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code.
C.
Term of Injunctions or Stays

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 existing 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 later of (1) the
Effective Date or (2) the date indicated in the order providing for such injunction or stay. All injunctions or stays contained
in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
D.
Exculpation
Pursuant
to section 1123(b) and 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and except as otherwise specifically
provided for in the Plan or Confirmation Order, none of the Exculpated Parties shall have or incur any liability for, and each Exculpated
Party is released, discharged, and exculpated from any Cause of Action for any claim related to, any act or omission in connection with,
related to, or arising out of the Chapter 11 Cases, the formulation, preparation, marketing, dissemination, negotiation, filing, or pursuit
of approval, confirmation, or consummation of the DIP Facility, the DIP Documents, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Plan (including
the Plan Supplement and other Plan Documents), the Disclosure Statement, the Exit Financing Facilities, the Exit Financing Documents,
the Equity Rights Offering, the Equity Rights Offering Documents, any settlement, contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or
document created or entered into in connection therewith or in the Chapter 11 Cases, and any other act taken or omitted to be taken in
connection with or in contemplation of the Chapter 11 Cases, the reorganization of the Debtors, or the administration of, or property
to be distributed under, the Plan (including the issuance and distribution of any interests (including the New Equity Interests) issued
or to be issued under or in connection with the Plan), except for claims related to any act or omission that is determined in a Final
Order to have constituted willful misconduct (including actual fraud) or gross negligence. Each Exculpated Party shall be entitled to
reasonably rely upon the advice of counsel concerning its duties and responsibilities pursuant to, or in connection with, the Plan.
The
Exculpated Parties have, and upon Confirmation of the Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with
the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code with regard to the solicitation of votes on, and distribution of consideration (including
the New Equity Interests) pursuant to, the Plan and, therefore, are not, and on account of such distributions shall not be, liable at
any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the
Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan. To the extent that any of the Exculpated Parties owed fiduciary duties to the Debtors,
their Estates, or the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, the Exculpated Parties have, and upon Confirmation of
the Plan shall be deemed to have, fully, completely, professionally, and admirably satisfied such duties.
E.

in connection with, or with respect to any such claim or interest for which an Exculpated Party has been exculpated under Article
VIII.D of the Plan or for which a Released Party has been released under Article VIII.E or Article VIII.F of the Plan
(as applicable), from (1) commencing or continuing in any manner any action or other proceeding on account of, in connection with,
or with respect to any such claims or interests released, exculpated, or settled pursuant to the Plan, other than to enforce any right
to a Plan Distribution, (2) the enforcement, attachment, collection, or recovery by any manner or means of any judgment, award,
decree, or order against any Released Party or Exculpated Party, or the property or interest in property thereof, on account of, in connection
with, or with respect to any such claims or interests released, exculpated, or settled pursuant to the Plan, other than to enforce any
right to a Plan Distribution, (3) creating, perfecting, or enforcing any Lien or encumbrance against any Released Party or Exculpated
Party, or the property or interest in property thereof, on account of, in connection with, or with respect to any such claims or interests
released, exculpated, or settled pursuant to the Plan, other than to enforce any right to a Plan Distribution, (4) asserting any
right of setoff or subrogation against any obligation due from any Released Party or Exculpated Party, or against the property or interest
in property thereof, on account of, in connection with, or with respect to any such claims or interests released, exculpated, or settled
pursuant to the Plan, notwithstanding an indication of a claim or interest or otherwise that such Entity asserts, has, or intends to
preserve any right of setoff pursuant to applicable law or otherwise, except to the extent that (a) a right to setoff is asserted
with respect to a Proof of Claim that explicitly preserves such setoff and is timely and properly Filed by the Effective Date or pursuant
to section 502(h) of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 3002(c)(3) or (b) such Entity was excused from Filing or otherwise
not required to File a Proof of Claim pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, and (5) interfering with the implementation
or Consummation of the Plan or any of the Plan Documents. Such injunction shall extend to any successors or assignees of the Released
Parties and Exculpated Parties and their respective properties and interest in properties. Each of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors,
the Exculpated Parties, and the Released Parties is expressly authorized hereby to seek the enforcement of such injunctions.
No
Entity may commence, continue, amend, or otherwise pursue, join in, or support any other Entity commencing, continuing, amending, or
pursuing, a Cause of Action, Covered Claim, or claim of any kind against any Released Party or Exculpated Party, as applicable, that
arose, arises from, or is reasonably likely to arise from, or relates to or is reasonably likely to relate to, any Covered Claim subject
to Articles VIII.D, E, or F of the Plan without first (1) requesting a determination from the Bankruptcy Court,
after notice (to all affected parties) and a hearing, that such claim, Cause of Action, or Covered Claim, as applicable, represents a
colorable claim against a Debtor or a Released Party, as applicable, and is not a claim, Cause of Action, or Covered Claim that was released
or exculpated under or pursuant to the Plan, which request must attach the complaint or petition proposed to be filed by the requesting
Entity (which complaint or petition must satisfy the applicable Rules of Federal Procedure), and (2) obtaining from the Bankruptcy
Court, in the form of a Final Order, specific authorization for such Entity to bring such claim, Cause of Action, or Covered Claim, as
applicable, against a Debtor or any other Released Party or Exculpated Party, as applicable. Any such request shall include a proposed
attorney fee reserve, subject to modification by the Bankruptcy Court, that shall be deposited to the Bankruptcy Court’s registry
to indemnify all potential defendants against costs associated with the successful defense of any claim that is allowed to proceed. For
the avoidance of doubt, any Entity that obtains such determination and authorization and subsequently wishes to amend the authorized
complaint or petition to add any claim, Cause of Action, or Covered Claim not explicitly included in the authorized complaint or petition
must first obtain authorization from the Bankruptcy Court before filing any such amendment in the court where such complaint or
petition is pending. The Bankruptcy Court shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a claim, Cause of Action, or
Covered Claim is colorable and, only to the extent legally permissible, shall have jurisdiction to adjudicate the underlying colorable
claim, Cause of Action, or Covered Claim.
H.
Setoff and Recoupment
Except
as otherwise expressly provided for in the Plan or the Confirmation Order, each (Reorganized) Debtor, as applicable, pursuant to the
Bankruptcy Code (including section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code), applicable non-bankruptcy law, or as may be agreed to by the Holder of
a Claim, may, but shall not be required to, set off or recoup (to the extent applicable) against any Allowed Claim and any Plan Distribution
to be made on account of such Claim, any and all claims, rights, and Causes of Action of any nature that such Debtor or Reorganized Debtor,
as applicable, may have against the Holder of such Claim pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or applicable non-bankruptcy law, to the extent
such Claims, rights, or Causes of Action against such Holder have not been otherwise compromised or settled on or prior to the Effective
Date (whether pursuant to the Plan or otherwise); provided, that neither the failure to effect such a setoff or recoupment nor
the allowance of any Claim shall constitute a waiver, abandonment, or release by such Debtor, such Reorganized Debtor, of any such claims,
rights, and Causes of Action that they may have against such Holder. Except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan, including
Article VIII.G, nothing herein shall (1) alter any rights of setoff or recoupment (to the extent available under applicable
law) of any Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Administrative Claim against the (Reorganized) Debtors or (2) constitute a waiver
of the rights, claims, or defenses of the (Reorganized) Debtors or any other party in interest to dispute such rights of setoff or recoupment
on any
grounds. In no
event shall any Holder of a Claim be entitled to set off any such Claim against any Claim, right, or Cause of Action of the Debtor, unless
(1) such Holder has indicated in any timely- and properly-Filed Proof of Claim or otherwise that such Holder asserts, has, or intends
to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to section 553 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise or (2) such Holder was not required to File
a Proof of Claim pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court.
I.
Preservation of Causes of Action
The
Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, and their Estates retain all Retained Causes of Action and may enforce all rights related thereto that
they may have or choose to assert on behalf of their respective Estates, as applicable, under any provision of the Bankruptcy Code or
any applicable analogous statute or non-bankruptcy law, whether such Cause of Action arose before or after the Petition Date. For the
avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Retained Causes of Action shall not include any Causes of
Action of any kind that were released pursuant to a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court or any other claims against any DIP Agent or
DIP Lender. Upon Consummation, the Reorganized Debtors shall have, retain, reserve, and be entitled to commence, assert, and pursue all
Retained Causes of Action.
Except
as set forth in the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or a Final Order of the Bankruptcy Court, nothing contained in the Plan or the Confirmation
Order shall, or shall be deemed to, release any post-Effective Date obligations of any party under the Plan, or any document, instrument,
or agreement (including those set forth in the Plan Supplement) executed to implement the Plan or in connection with Consummation.
The
Debtors’ inclusion or failure to include or describe with sufficient specificity any Retained Cause of Action herein, on any Schedule
of Retained Causes of Action, or in the Confirmation Order shall not be deemed an admission, denial, or waiver of any Retained Cause
of Action that the Debtors or their Estates may hold. 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 such Causes of Action upon,
after, or as a consequence of Confirmation or Consummation, including any argument of waiver on account of the failure to include or
describe with sufficient specificity any Retained Cause of Action herein, on any Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, or in the Confirmation
Order. For the avoidance of doubt, in no instance shall “Retained Causes of Action” include any claim or Cause of Action
with respect to, or against, a Released Party that was released pursuant to the Plan.
No
Entity may rely on the absence of a specific reference herein, on any Schedule of Retained Causes of Action, or in the Confirmation Order
to any Cause of Action against them as any indication that the (Reorganized) Debtors will not pursue any and all available Causes of
Action against them.
J.
Compromise and Settlement of Claims and Controversies
Pursuant
to sections 363 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019, and in consideration for the Plan Distributions and other benefits
provided under the Plan and as a mechanism to effect a fair distribution of value to the Debtors’ constituencies, the provisions
of the Plan shall also constitute a good-faith compromise and settlement of all Claims, Causes of Action, and controversies incorporated
in the Plan.
The
entry of the Confirmation Order shall constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval of the compromise or settlement of all such Claims,
Interests, controversies, and Causes of Action and the Bankruptcy Court’s finding that such compromise or settlement is in the
best interests of the Debtors, their Estates, and the Holders of such Claims, and is fair, equitable, and reasonable. Subject to Article
V, all Plan Distributions made to or for the benefit of Holders of Allowed Claims in any Class are intended to be and shall be final.
In accordance with the provisions of the Plan, pursuant to sections 363 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rule 9019(a),
without any further notice or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court, the Debtors, with the consent of the Required Consenting
Stakeholders, may compromise and settle claims and Causes of Action against other Entities and, upon Consummation, such right shall pass
to the Reorganized Debtors.
K.
Protection Against Discriminatory Treatment
In
accordance with section 525 of the Bankruptcy Code, and consistent with paragraph 2 of Article VI of the United States Constitution,
no Governmental Unit shall discriminate against any (Reorganized) Debtor or any Entity with which a (Reorganized) Debtor has been or
is associated, solely because such (Reorganized) Debtor (1) is or was a debtor under chapter 11, (2) may have been insolvent
before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases or during the Chapter 11 Cases prior to the Effective Date, or (3) has not paid
a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Cases.

by the Debtors as a reason not to seek Confirmation or declare an Effective Date, regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the
failure of such condition to be satisfied (including any action or inaction by the Debtors). The failure of the Debtors to exercise any
of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of such rights or any other rights, and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing

Section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code
As
of, and subject to the occurrence of, the Confirmation Date, the Debtors and their Related Parties shall be deemed to have solicited
votes on the Plan and participated in the issuance or distribution of any Securities and interests (including the New Equity Interests)
under the Plan in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code (including sections 1125(a) and
1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code) and any applicable non-bankruptcy law, rule, or regulation, including those governing the adequacy of
disclosure in connection with such solicitation; therefore, none of the Debtors nor their Related Parties shall have any liability for
the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the solicitation of votes on the Plan or the issuance or distribution
of any Securities and interests (including the New Equity Interests) under the Plan.
No
Entity may commence, continue, amend, or otherwise pursue, join in, or support any other party commencing, continuing, amending, or pursuing,
a claim or Cause of Action subject to the terms of the immediately preceding paragraph against any Debtor or any of their Related Parties,
without first (1) requesting a determination from the Bankruptcy Court, after notice (to all affected parties) and a hearing, that
such claim or Cause of Action, as applicable, represents a colorable claim against a Debtor or one of their Related Parties, as applicable,
and is not a claim or Cause of Action that was released or exculpated pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph, which request
must attach the complaint or petition proposed to be filed by the requesting party (which complaint or petition must satisfy the applicable
Rules of Federal Procedure), and (2) obtaining from the Bankruptcy Court, in the form of a Final Order, specific authorization for
such party to bring such claim or Cause of Action, as applicable, against a Debtor or any of their Related Parties, as applicable. Any
such request shall include a proposed attorney fee reserve, subject to modification by the Bankruptcy Court, that shall be deposited
to the
Bankruptcy
Court’s registry to indemnify all potential defendants against costs associated with the successful defense of any claim that is
allowed to proceed. For the avoidance of doubt, any party that obtains such determination and authorization and subsequently wishes to
amend the authorized complaint or petition to add any claim or Cause of Action not explicitly included in the authorized complaint or
petition must first obtain authorization from the Bankruptcy Court before filing any such amendment in the court where such complaint
or petition is pending. The Bankruptcy Court shall have sole and exclusive jurisdiction to determine whether a claim or Cause of Action
is colorable and, only to the extent legally permissible, shall have jurisdiction to adjudicate the underlying colorable claim or Cause
of Action.
H.
Non-Severability
If,
before Confirmation, any term or provision of the Plan or any other Plan Document is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void,
or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court, at the request of the Debtors, 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; provided,
that any such alteration or interpretation shall be acceptable to the Debtors and the Required Consenting Stakeholders.
Entry
of the Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination that each term and provision of the Plan and each Plan Document,
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, as well as the Required Consenting
Stakeholders, and (3) non-severable and mutually dependent.
I.
Binding Effect
Notwithstanding
any Bankruptcy Rule (including Bankruptcy Rules 3020(e), 6003, and 6004(h)) or Local Rule to the contrary, upon the occurrence of the
Effective Date (or, to the extent expressly provided herein or in the Confirmation Order, the Confirmation Date), the Plan shall be binding
upon and inure to the benefit of the (Reorganized) Debtors, all present and former Holders of Claims or Interests (whether or not such
Holders shall receive or retain any property or interest in property under the Plan and irrespective of whether 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, or
injunctions described in the Plan, each Entity acquiring property under the Plan, any and all non-Debtor parties to Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases with the Debtors, all other parties in interest in the Chapter 11 Cases, and their respective Related Parties.

Purpose: |
As set forth in the Plan of Reorganization. |
Documentation Principles: |
The indenture and other definitive documentation
for the Exit Secured Notes (collectively, the “Definitive Exit Secured Notes Documentation”) shall be consistent with
the terms and conditions set forth in this Exit Secured Notes Facility Term Sheet and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Required Noteholders and the Issuer, it being understood and agreed that the starting precedent for the Definitive Exit Secured
Notes Documentation shall be a combination of (x) the Prepetition Secured Notes Indenture and the other Prepetition Secured Notes Documents
(each, as defined in the Adequate Protection Order) and (y) the Prepetition RCF Credit Agreement (as defined in the Adequate Protection
Order) and the Collateral Documents (as defined in the Prepetition RCF Credit Agreement), as applicable. The provisions of this paragraph
are referred to herein as the “Documentation Principles”. |
Collateral:
|
The Exit Secured Notes Obligations shall
be secured by liens on and security interest in the Prepetition Secured Notes Collateral (as |
|
defined in the Adequate Protection Order), the Prepetition RCF Collateral (as defined in the Adequate Protection Order) (but solely to the extent permitted by the terms of the Exit RCF Documents) and all rights, title and interests of the unencumbered assets and property of the Obligors (after giving effect to the repayment of the DIP Facility), whether real or personal, tangible or intangible, now existing or hereafter acquired, including all unencumbered aircraft, inventory, equipment, fixtures, leasehold interests, commercial tort claims, accounts receivable, investment property, documents, chattel paper (whether electronic or tangible), intercompany loans, general intangibles (including patents, trademarks and other intellectual property), instruments, business interruption insurance, supporting obligations and proceeds of all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Exit Secured Notes Collateral”); provided that the Exit Secured Notes Collateral shall not include (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”) (x) property that cannot be subject to liens pursuant to applicable law, rule, contract or regulation (including any requirement to obtain the consent (after the use of commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such consent) of any governmental authority or third party, unless such consent has been obtained) or restrictions of contract (including federal concessions as well as equipment leases and financing arrangements) existing on the Issue Date or the time of entry of such contract (other than to the extent such restriction is ineffective under the UCC or other applicable law) and/or (y) any property subject to a purchase money security interest, capital lease or similar financing arrangement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer and the Required Noteholders shall cooperate in good faith to mutually determine whether the Issuer’s cash, cash equivalents and deposit accounts shall be included in the Exit Secured Notes Collateral, Excluded Assets or treated in another manner. |
Lien Priority: |
The Exit Secured Notes Obligations shall be secured by (x) to the extent permitted by the terms of the Exit RCF Documents, second-priority liens on the Prepetition RCF Collateral, junior to only the liens thereon securing the Exit Revolving Credit Facility and (y) a first-priority lien on all other Exit Secured Notes Collateral, in each case, pursuant to the terms of an intercreditor agreement that shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Required Noteholders and the Issuer. |
Optional Redemption: |
The Issuer may redeem the Exit Secured Notes
at its option, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the second anniversary of the Issue Date at a redemption price equal to 100%
of the principal amount of the Exit Secured Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date plus a customary
T+50 basis point make-whole premium; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer may redeem the Exit Secured Notes at its
option, in whole, at any |
|
time on or prior to the date that is ninety (90)
days after the Issue Date, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Exit Secured Notes redeemed, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to the redemption date, plus an 8.0% premium.
At any time on or after the second anniversary
of the Issue Date and prior to the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Issuer may redeem the Exit Secured Notes, in whole or in part,
at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Exit Secured Notes redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date, plus a 6.0% premium. Thereafter, the Issuer may redeem the Exit Secured Notes, in whole or in part, at par, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
The premiums described in this section shall
also be immediately due and payable upon the acceleration of the Exit Secured Notes after the occurrence of an Event of Default, by operation
of law or otherwise. The premiums described in this section shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Exit Secured
Noteholder as the result of the early termination of the Exit Secured Notes and the Issuer agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances
currently existing. |
Mandatory Offer to Purchase upon a Change of Control: |
The Issuer will be required to offer to purchase
the Exit Secured Notes upon the occurrence of a change of control (to be defined in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Required Noteholders,
and which shall include a merger with, acquisition by or other business combination with, another public company), which offer shall
be at 101% of the principal amount of the Exit Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of any such redemption. |
Mandatory Offer to Purchase upon an Asset Sale and/or with Excess Cash Flow: |
Subject to the Documentation Principles,
the Issuer will be required to offer to purchase the Exit Secured Notes (x) upon the occurrence of certain non-ordinary course asset
sales of Exit Secured Notes Collateral and (y) in an amount equal to excess cash flow (to be defined in a manner reasonably acceptable
to the Required Noteholders and the Issuer) for periods to be mutually agreed, in each case, which offer shall be at 100% of the principal
amount of the Exit Secured Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of any such redemption. |
Affirmative Covenants, Negative Covenants, Financial Covenants and Events of Default: |
The Definitive Exit Secured Notes Documentation
will contain affirmative covenants, negative covenants, financial covenants and events of default subject to the Documentation Principles.
In addition, the negative covenants in the
Definitive Exit Secured |
|
Notes Documentation shall include a Liability
Management Transaction (the “LMT Covenant”) covenant that does not permit the Issuer to, and shall not permit any of
its Subsidiaries to, enter into any Liability Management Transaction; provided however, the Issuer and its subsidiaries shall be permitted
to enter into a Liability Management Transaction so long as each Exit Secured Noteholders is offered a bona fide right to participate
in such transaction, on a pro rata basis, on not less than ten (10) Business Days’ notice prior to the deadline to so elect.
Liability Management Transaction shall mean any
of the following: (i) any exchange (or any transaction primarily designed to circumvent the restrictions set forth in the covenants hereof
or contemporaneously achieve the same effect as an exchange) of any existing debt of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Existing
LMT Debt”) with any other debt (including preferred equity) of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries (the “New LMT
Debt”) in a transaction that is not primarily for a bona fide business purpose and instead is primarily designed to “uptier”
holders of such Existing LMT Debt on a non-pro rata basis into New LMT Debt that is contractually or structurally senior to the Existing
LMT Debt, (ii) any investment, asset sale or other disposition of assets to an Affiliate of the Issuer or any of its Subsidiaries that
is not an Obligor (including any non-Obligor Subsidiary, Affiliate that is not an Obligor or unrestricted Subsidiary), in each case, to
(a) facilitate a new debt financing (including any preferred equity) incurred by such non-Obligor Person under such debt (including a
debtor-in-possession financing or preferred equity financing) or (b) to guarantee an existing debt financing or (iii) any transaction
whereby an obligation owed to an Affiliate of a Loan Party (other than another Loan Party) would directly or indirectly be pari passu
or senior (in right of payment or security) to the Exit Secured Notes.
|
Financial and Other Reporting Requirements: |
The Definitive Exit Secured Notes Documentation
will contain reporting requirements subject to the Documentation Principles. |
Required Noteholders: |
As of any time of determination, (i) on or
prior to the Issue Date, collectively, the Required Consenting Senior Secured Noteholders and the Required Consenting Convertible Noteholders
and (ii) after the Issue Date, holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Exit Secured Notes outstanding at
such time (the “Required Noteholders”). |
Amendments: |
The Exit Secured Notes Definitive Documentation shall not be amended, waived or otherwise modified without the prior written consent of the Required Noteholders; provided that, in addition to the |
|
consent of the Required Noteholders, no such amendment,
waiver or other modification shall, without the prior written consent of:

of the holders of Exit Secured Notes, (A) amend, waive or modify, or have the effect of amending, waiving or modifying, (i) the amendment

which provides for the unanimous consent or approval of the holders of Exit Secured Notes to reduce the percentage of principal amount
of holders of Exit Secured Notes required thereunder, (B) release, or have the effect of releasing, all or substantially all of the liens
on the Exit Secured Notes Collateral, (C) release, or have the effect of releasing, all or substantially all of the value of the guarantees

voting thresholds;
(iii) holders
of no less than 85% of the outstanding principal amount of the Exit Secured Notes, (A) subordinate the liens on the Exit Secured Notes
Collateral to liens securing any other debt (other |
|
than the Exit Revolving Credit Facility
or refinancings or replacements thereof), (B) subordinate the Exit Secured Notes in right of payment to the payment of any other debt
or (C) release, or have the effect of releasing, through one or a series of related transactions, liens on Exit Secured Notes Collateral

Notes Collateral; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) the liens on the Exit Secured Notes Collateral may be subordinated
to the liens securing any other debt, (y) the Exit Secured Notes may be subordinated to other debt and/or (z) liens on Exit Secured Notes
Collateral having a fair market value in excess of 20% of the total fair market value of all Exit Secured Notes Collateral may be released,
in each case, with the consent of holders of not less than 67% of the Exit Secured Notes if each Exit Secured Noteholder is offered a
bona fide opportunity to participate in such other debt or transaction closed in connection with such release on a pro rata basis on not
less than ten (10) Business Days’ notice prior to the deadline to participate therein; or
(iv) holders
of no less than [67/85]% of the outstanding principal amount of the Exit Secured Notes to amend, waive or modify, or have the effect of
amending, waiving or modifying, any financial covenant or Event of Default for failure to comply with a financial covenant.
Neither the Issuer, nor any of its subsidiaries,
shall, directly or indirectly, pay or cause to be paid any consideration to any Exit Secured Noteholder for or as an inducement to any
consent, waiver or amendment unless such consideration is offered to be paid and is paid to all Exit Secured Noteholders that consent
to such transaction in the applicable time frame set forth in the solicitation documents relating to such transaction.
The Issuer shall provide a copy of each amendment
to each of the Exit Secured Noteholders (whether their consent is needed or not for such amendment), for their consent, no less than three
(3) Business Days prior to the proposed execution of such amendment.
Notwithstanding anything set forth above,
no amendment or modification of the Exit Secured Notes Definitive Documentation may be effected that would adversely change (x) the economic
terms, (y) the interests in the Exit Secured Notes Collateral or (z) the legal remedies, in each case, of a particular Exit Secured Noteholder
in a manner disproportionate to the rights or interests of any other Exit |
|
Secured Noteholder without the prior consent of each Noteholder so affected; provided that no transaction set forth in clause (iii) above shall constitute a disproportionate adverse change. |
No Registration Rights: |
The Issuer shall not be required to file
a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) relating to the initial issuance or any
resale of the Exit Secured Notes and shall not be required to commence an offer to exchange the Exit Secured Notes for SEC registered

Governance Term Sheet
SPIRIT AIRLINES, INC.
GOVERNANCE TERM SHEET
This term sheet (this “Term Sheet”)
describes certain corporate governance provisions to be in effect after the Restructuring of Spirit Airlines, Inc. and the other Debtors.
Capitalized terms used in this Term Sheet but not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the RSA and the Restructuring Term
Sheet, as applicable, of which this Term Sheet forms a part.
Reorganized Company |
Reorganized Company (the “Company”) will be a Delaware
corporation. It is intended that the Company will be a public reporting company on a National Securities Exchange.
“National Securities Exchange” means The New
York Stock Exchange, The Nasdaq Global Select Market or The Nasdaq Global Market. |
Capital Stock |
One class of voting common stock (the “New Common Stock”) and authorized but unissued “blank check” preferred stock, having such designations, preferences, limitations and relative rights, including preferences over the New Common Stock with respect to dividends and distributions, as the New Board may determine. |
Board of Directors |
The New Board shall consist of up to nine (9) directors composed of:
(i) the chief executive officer of the Company; and (ii) up to eight directors selected by a committee (the “Selection Committee”)
comprised of five (5) Consenting Senior Secured Noteholders and three (3) Consenting Convertible Noteholders. The Selection Committee
shall approve each director by the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Selection Committee, which majority shall include
at least a majority of the Consenting Senior Secured Noteholder members and a majority of the Consenting Convertible Noteholder members.
No institution may serve as both a Consenting Senior Secured Noteholder member and as a Consenting Convertible Noteholder member of the
Selection Committee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Selection Committee cannot reach agreement on directors pursuant to clause
(ii), the New Board shall consist of (a) the chief executive officer of the Company, (b) six (6) directors selected by the Required Consenting
Senior Secured Noteholders and (c) two (2) directors selected by the Required Consenting Convertible Noteholders.
All members of the New Board other than the chief executive officer
of the Company shall meet the independence requirements of a National Securities Exchange.
After the Plan Effective Date, the members of the New Board will
be in a single class elected by the holders of the New Common Stock annually. |
Stockholder Approvals |
In addition to any approvals required under applicable law and regulation, without the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding New |
|
Common Stock (provided that after the New Common Stock is listed on
a National Securities Exchange, such approval shall be of the holders of a relevant majority standard of the shares of New Common Stock
as specified under the voting standard of such National Securities Exchange), the Company shall not authorize, adopt or amend any equity
incentive plan other than the Management Incentive Plan or authorize any increase in the amount of shares or equity awards permitted to
be granted under the Management Incentive Plan or any other equity incentive plan or equity compensation plan.
In addition, until such time as the New Common Stock is listed on a
National Securities Exchange, without the approval of the holders of a majority of outstanding New Common Stock, the Company shall not:
(i) issue
shares of New Common Stock for cash in excess of 5% of the fully-diluted number of shares of New Common Stock outstanding and authorized
for issuance under the Plan on the Plan Effective Date (including all shares contemplated under the claims recovery, the Rights Offering,
the Backstop Commitment Agreement and the Management Incentive Plan) or authorize or issue any shares of preferred stock; provided

Secured Backstop Commitment Party, and to the Company, as a result of any breach of its obligations hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt,
nothing in this provision shall require the Company to issue any New Common Equity (including any Senior Secured Backstop Premium Shares)

Section
2.6 Convertible
Commitment Party Default; Replacement of Defaulting Convertible Backstop Commitment Parties.

Backstop Commitment Parties (which shall not be unreasonably withheld)) after receipt of written notice from the Company to all Convertible
Backstop Commitment Parties of such Convertible Commitment Party Default, which notice shall
be
given promptly following the occurrence of such Convertible Commitment Party Default and to all Convertible Backstop Commitment Parties
substantially concurrently (such period, the “Convertible Commitment Party Replacement Period”), to make arrangements
for one or more of the Convertible Backstop Commitment Parties and their respective Related Purchasers (other than the Defaulting Convertible
Backstop Commitment Party) to fund all or any portion of the Convertible Available Shares (such funding, a “Convertible Commitment
Party Replacement”) on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in such amounts as may be
agreed upon by all of the Convertible Backstop Commitment Parties electing to fund all or any portion of the Convertible Available Shares,
or, if no such arrangements are made, based upon the relative applicable Commitment Amounts of any such Convertible Backstop Commitment
Parties (other than any Defaulting Commitment Party) and their respective Related Purchasers (such Convertible Backstop Commitment Parties
the “Convertible Replacing Commitment Parties”). Following the expiration of the Convertible Commitment Party
Replacement Period, the Company shall promptly, but no later than one (1) Business Day, provide each Convertible Replacing Commitment
Party with a Replacement Funding Notice that reflects the updated Funding Amount of such Convertible Replacing Commitment Party and the
amount that each Convertible Replacing Commitment Party is required to fund pursuant to Section 2.7(c) after taking into consideration
the Convertible Commitment Party Replacement. Within two (2) Business Days following receipt of the Replacement Funding Notice, each
Convertible Replacing Commitment Party shall fund any unfunded Funding Amount to the Escrow Account. Any Convertible Available Shares

Replacing Commitment Party for purposes of Section 2.5(d), Section 2.4(e), Section 2.7(c), Section 3.1 (as
applicable) and Section 3.2 (as applicable), and (iii) the Convertible Commitment Amount of such Convertible Replacing Commitment
Party for purposes of the definition of “Required Backstop Commitment Parties”. If a Convertible Commitment Party Default
occurs, the Outside Date shall be extended to the extent necessary to allow for the Convertible Commitment Party Replacement and the
Closing Date to be completed and occur prior to the Outside Date.
(b)
The Senior Secured Backstop Commitment Parties shall have the right (but not the obligation) to make arrangements for one or more
of the Senior Secured Backstop Commitment Parties to fund any portion of the Convertible Available Shares not otherwise funded by any
Convertible Replacing Commitment Parties (in such case, each such funding Senior Secured Backstop Commitment Party shall constitute a
Convertible Replacing Commitment Party and shall be bound by the funding period as set forth under above Section 2.6(a)).
(c)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Convertible Backstop Commitment Party is a Defaulting Convertible
Backstop Commitment Party, or if this Agreement is terminated with respect to such Convertible Backstop Commitment Party as a result
of its default hereunder, such Defaulting Convertible Backstop Commitment Party shall not be entitled to any of the Convertible Direct
Allocation Shares, Backstop Shares, Backstop Premium Shares, or expense reimbursement (including the Expense Reimbursement other than
the Advisor Fees) or indemnification provided, or to be provided, under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Transaction
Agreement.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require a Convertible
Backstop Commitment Party to pay more than its Convertible Direct Allocation Amount for its Convertible Direct Allocation Shares, its
Convertible Commitment Amount for its Convertible Backstop Shares, or the aggregate purchase price calculated based on the Per Share
Subscription Price for its Pro Rata Share of the Convertible Rights Offering Shares, as applicable.
(e)
For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 9.4, but subject to Section
10.11, no provision of this Agreement shall relieve any Defaulting Convertible Backstop Commitment Party from liability hereunder,
or limit the availability of the remedies set forth in Section 10.10 or any other remedy available under applicable Laws, in connection
with any such Defaulting Convertible Backstop Commitment Party’s Convertible Commitment Party Default, and the Parties hereto may
enforce rights of money damages and/or specific performance upon such Convertible Commitment Party Default. Any Defaulting Convertible
Backstop Commitment Party shall be liable to each other Convertible Backstop Commitment Party that is not a Defaulting Convertible Backstop
Commitment Party, and to the Company, as a result of any breach of its obligations hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in
this provision shall require the Company to issue any New Common Equity (including any Convertible Backstop Premium Shares) to any Defaulting
Convertible Backstop Commitment Party.

Article
VIII
INDEMNIFICATION AND CONTRIBUTION
Section
8.1 Indemnification
Obligations. Following the entry of the Backstop Order, the Company and the other Debtors (the “Indemnifying Parties”
and each, an “Indemnifying Party”) shall, to the maximum extent permitted by law, jointly and severally, indemnify
and hold harmless each Backstop Commitment Party and its Affiliates, Affiliated Funds equity holders, members, partners, general partners,
managers and its and their respective Representatives and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from
and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and costs and expenses (other than any Taxes) arising out of a claim asserted
by a third-party (collectively, “Losses”) that any such Indemnified Person may incur or to which any such Indemnified
Person may become subject arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, including the Rights Offering Backstop Commitment, the
Direct Allocation Amount, the Rights Offering or the Direct Allocation, the payment of the Backstop Premium or the use of the proceeds
of the Direct Allocation or the Rights Offering, or any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of
the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto, whether or not such proceedings are brought by the Company,
the other Debtors, their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other Person, and reimburse each Indemnified Person
upon demand for reasonable documented (with such documentation subject to redaction to preserve attorney client and work product privileges)
legal or other third-party expenses incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to defend or defending, or providing evidence
in or preparing to serve or serving as a witness with respect to, any lawsuit, investigation, claim or other proceeding relating to any
of the foregoing (including in connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth herein), irrespective of
whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Plan are consummated or whether or not this Agreement is terminated;
provided, that the foregoing indemnity will not, as to any Indemnified Person, apply to Losses (a) as to a Defaulting Commitment
Party, its Related Parties or any Indemnified Person related
thereto,
caused by a Commitment Party Default by such Backstop Commitment Party, or (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the fraud, bad faith or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person.
Section
8.2 Indemnification
Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any claim, challenge, litigation, investigation
or proceeding (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnified Person will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the
Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that (a) the
omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have hereunder except
to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (b) the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not
relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Person otherwise than on account of this Article
VIII. In case any such Indemnified Claims are brought against any Indemnified Person and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement
thereof, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein, and, at its election by providing written notice to such Indemnified
Person, the Indemnifying Party will be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified
Person; provided, that if the parties (including any impleaded parties) to any such Indemnified Claims include both such Indemnified
Person and the Indemnifying Party and based on advice of such Indemnified Person’s counsel there are legal defenses available to
such Indemnified Person that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, such Indemnified Person shall
have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Indemnified
Claims. Upon receipt of notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Person of its election to so assume the defense of such
Indemnified Claims with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Person, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified
Person for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense thereof or participation therein (other than reasonable
costs of investigation) unless (i) such Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel (in addition to any local counsel)
in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood,
however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel representing the Indemnified
Persons who are parties to such Indemnified Claims (in addition to one local counsel in each jurisdiction in which local counsel is required)),
(ii) the Indemnifying Party shall not have employed counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person to represent such Indemnified
Person within a reasonable time after the Indemnifying Party has received notice of commencement of the Indemnified Claims from, or delivered
on behalf of, the Indemnified Person, (iii) after the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Indemnified Claims, the Indemnified
Person determines in good faith that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to defend such claim and provides written notice
of such determination and the basis for such determination, and such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days of
receipt of such notice, or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified
Person.
Section
8.3 Settlement
of Indemnified Claims. In connection with any Indemnified Claim for which an Indemnified Person is assuming the defense in accordance
with this Article VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected by such Indemnified
Person without the written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
If any settlement of any Indemnified Claims is consummated with the written consent of the Indemnifying Party or if there is a final
judgment for the plaintiff in any such Indemnified Claims, the Indemnifying Party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified
Person from and against any and all Losses by reason of such settlement or judgment to the extent such Losses are otherwise subject to
indemnification by the Indemnifying Party hereunder in accordance with, and subject to the limitations of, this Article VIII. The Indemnifying
Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Person (which consent shall be granted or withheld, conditioned
or delayed in the Indemnified Person’s sole discretion), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened Indemnified Claims
in respect of which indemnity or contribution has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless (a) such settlement includes
an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person in form and substance satisfactory to such Indemnified Person from all liability
on the claims that are the subject matter of such Indemnified Claims and (b) such settlement does not include any statement as to
or any admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Person.
Section
8.4 Contribution.
If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Person or insufficient to hold it harmless from Losses
that are subject to indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Indemnified Person as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received
by the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, but also the relative fault of the Indemnifying
Party, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Person, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby
agreed that the relative benefits to the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and all Indemnified Persons, on the other hand, shall be
deemed to be in the same proportion as (a) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Company pursuant to the funding
of the Direct Allocation Shares, Rights Offering Shares and Backstop Shares contemplated by the Rights Offering, this Agreement and the
Plan bears to (b) the Backstop Premium paid or proposed to be paid to the Backstop Commitment Parties. The Indemnifying Parties
also agree that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability based on their comparative or contributory negligence or otherwise to
the Indemnifying Parties, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of any of the Indemnifying Parties, or any other Person
in connection with an Indemnified Claim.
Section
8.5 Treatment
of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this Article VIII shall, to
the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated as adjustments to the Funding Amount for all applicable Tax purposes. The provisions
of this Article VIII are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Backstop
Commitment
Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. The Backstop Order shall provide that the obligations of the Debtors under this Article
VIII shall constitute allowed administrative expenses of the Debtors’ estates under sections 503(b) and 507 of the
Bankruptcy Code and shall not be subject to set-off, recharacterization, avoidance or disallowance and are payable without further Order
of the Bankruptcy Court, and that the Debtors may comply with the requirements of this Article VIII without further Order of the
Bankruptcy Court.
Section
8.6 No
Survival. All representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing Date except
for covenants and agreements that by their terms are to be satisfied after the Closing Date, which covenants and agreements shall survive
until satisfied in accordance with their terms.

Section
9.4 Effect
of Termination.
(a)
Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Article IX, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall
be no further obligations or liabilities on the part of the Parties; provided, that (i) the obligations of the Debtors to
pay the Expense Reimbursement pursuant to Article III and to satisfy their indemnification obligations pursuant to Article
VIII shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect, in each case, until such obligations
have been satisfied, (ii) the provisions set forth in Article VIII, this Section 9.4 and Article X shall survive
the termination of this Agreement in accordance
with their terms, (iii) subject
to Section 10.11 (Damages), nothing in this Section 9.4 shall relieve any Party from liability for its fraud, gross negligence
or any willful or intentional breach of this Agreement and (iv) all amounts deposited by the Backstop Commitment Parties in the Escrow
Account shall be returned to the Backstop Commitment Parties in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement. For purposes of this
Agreement, “willful or intentional breach” means a breach of this Agreement that is a consequence of an act
undertaken by the breaching Party with the knowledge that the taking of such act would, or would reasonably be expected to, cause a breach
of this Agreement.
(b)
If this Agreement is terminated in connection with a termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement, then the Backstop Cash
Premium (in satisfaction of the Backstop Premium) will become payable by the Debtors on the date of termination in cash to the Backstop
Commitment Parties or their designees based upon their respective Commitment Percentage, and the Debtors will pay the Backstop Cash Premium
by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such accounts as the Backstop Commitment Parties may designate within three (3) Business
Days following such termination. If this Agreement is terminated (1) pursuant to Section 9.3(b) or (2) as a result of a termination of
the Restructuring Support Agreement due to the breach of the Restructuring Support Agreement by any Consenting Stakeholder (any Backstop
Commitment Party or Consenting Stakeholder whose breach resulted in such termination pursuant to clause (1) or (2), a “Breaching
Consenting Stakeholder”), then the Backstop Cash Premium will become payable by the Debtors on the date of termination
in cash to the Backstop Commitment Parties (other than the Breaching Consenting Stakeholder(s)), or their designees, based upon their
respective Commitment Percentage and the Debtors shall pay the Backstop Cash Premium by wire transfer of immediately available funds
to such accounts as the Backstop Commitment Parties (other than the Breaching Consenting Stakeholder(s)) may designate within three (3)
Business Days following such termination.
(c)
To the extent that all amounts due in respect of the Backstop Cash Premium pursuant to Section 9.4(b) have actually been
paid by the Debtors to the Backstop Commitment Parties in connection with a termination of this Agreement, then (without limitation of
any rights or remedies under the Restructuring Support Agreement), the Backstop Commitment Parties shall not have any additional recourse,
including with respect to the Backstop Premium against the Debtors for any obligations or liabilities relating to or arising from this
Agreement (other than obligations and liabilities pursuant to Section 8.1, any Expense Reimbursement and any other obligation
or liability that expressly survives the termination of this Agreement) except for liability for intentional fraud, gross negligence
or willful or intentional breach of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.4(a). The Backstop Cash Premium payable pursuant to this
Section 9.4 shall constitute an allowed administrative expense claim of the Debtors’ estates pursuant to sections 503(b)
and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code and shall not be subject to set-off, recharacterization, avoidance or disallowance.

executing this Agreement on behalf of specific trading desk(s) and/or business group(s) of the Consenting Stakeholder, the obligations
set forth in this Agreement shall only apply to such trading desk(s) and/or business group(s) and shall not apply to any other trading
desk or business group of the Consenting Stakeholder so long as they are not acting at the direction or for the benefit of such Consenting

will be paid from the general assets of the Company. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all amounts payable to you (whether
under this Agreement or otherwise) any amount of taxes required by law to be withheld in respect of compensation payable under this Agreement
as may be necessary in the opinion of the Company to satisfy tax withholding required under the laws of any country, state, province,
city or other jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, income taxes, capital gains taxes, transfer taxes and social security contributions
that are required by law to be withheld.
(c) The
Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) (or its designee) will have the sole and absolute responsibility and
discretionary authority to construe, interpret, and determine eligibility under this Agreement, and to otherwise interpret and administer
this Agreement. Any determination made by the Board (or its designee) will be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, and will
be given the maximum deference permitted by law.
(d) You
agree, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to keep the terms of this Agreement in the strictest of confidence at all times,
both during and after your employment with the Company, and not to disclose such terms to any other person or entity, except as may be
required by law or as disclosure may be necessary in the course of a complaint, appeal, or proceeding seeking enforcement of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, you may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to your immediate family
and your legal, financial, and tax advisors after securing their similar commitment of strict confidentiality. To the extent that this
Section 4(d) is determined by the Committee to have been breached, the Company shall have the right to seek all remedies, including,
without limitation, the clawback of the Retention Award[, the 2024 H1 STIP Bonus] and the 2024 H2 STIP Bonus.
(e)
The Retention Award[, the 2024 H1 STIP Bonus] and the 2024 H2 STIP Bonus set forth in this Agreement are intended to be exempt from Section
409A (“Section 409A”) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and the Retention
Award[, the 2024 H1 STIP Bonus] and the 2024 H2 STIP Bonus shall be construed and administered in accordance with such intention. To
the extent any payments under this Agreement are subject to Section 409A, the Agreement shall be interpreted and administered to the
maximum extent possible to comply with Section 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company makes no representation to you that the
payments set forth in this Agreement will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A and shall have no liability or obligation to you
for any failure of the Agreement or any payments hereunder to comply with Section 409A.
(f) In
the event that any payment to you, including any payment made in respect of the Retention Award[, the 2024 H1 STIP Bonus] and the 2024
H2 STIP Bonus, (i) constitutes a “parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code (“Section 280G”),
and (ii) but for this Section 4(f), would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code (“Section 4999”),
then your benefits under this Agreement or otherwise payable to you will be either: (x) delivered in full, or (y) delivered as to such
lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999, whichever of the foregoing
amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income and employment taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section
4999, results in the receipt by you on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion
of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999.
If a reduction in
benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that benefits are delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will
occur in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments; (ii) cancellation of awards granted “contingent on a change in ownership
or control” (within the meaning of Section 280G) and (iii) reduction of employee benefits. You acknowledge and agree that, in the
event the cutback described in clause (y) above applies to you, any payment that has been made to you in respect of the Retention Award[,
the 2024 H1 STIP Bonus] or the 2024 H2 STIP Bonus hereunder may also be subject to repayment by you to the Company to the extent it is
determined by the Firm that such payment should not have been delivered to you as result of the
application
of such clause (y). Any determination required under this Section 4(f) will be made in writing by the Company’s independent public
accountants immediately prior to the consummation of a change in ownership or control or such other person or entity to which the parties
mutually agree (the “Firm”). For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 4(f), the Firm may make
reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning
the application of Sections 280G and 4999. You and the Company will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may
reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section 4(f). The Company will bear all costs the Firm may incur in connection
with any calculations contemplated by this Section 4(f).
(g) This
Agreement contains the entire agreement between the Company and you with respect to the Retention Award[, the 2024 H1 STIP Bonus] and
the 2024 H2 STIP Bonus and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, between the Company and you with
respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be amended only by an agreement in writing signed by you and an authorized representative
of the Company.
(h) Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring upon you a right to continued employment with the Company or shall restrict the Company’s
right to terminate your employment, which is and shall at all times remain “at will.” This Agreement shall neither entitle
you to additional awards or bonus amounts nor prohibit you from eligibility for any additional awards or bonus amounts under any other
program implemented by the Company.
(i) This
Agreement will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of
any jurisdiction.
(j) In
the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement, or the application of any such provisions to you or the Company with respect
to obligations under this Agreement, is held to be unlawful or unenforceable by any court, then the remaining portions of this Agreement
will remain in full force and effect and will not be invalidated or impaired in any manner.
(k) Due
to the personal nature of the services contemplated under this Agreement, this Agreement, and your rights and obligations under this
Agreement, may not be assigned by you. This Agreement is also binding upon your successors, heirs, executors, administrators, and other
legal representatives, and will inure to the benefit of the Company and its successors and assigns. The Company may assign its rights,
together with its obligations under this Agreement, in connection with any sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially
all of its business and/or assets; provided that any such assignee of the Company agrees to be bound by the provisions of this
Agreement.
(l) This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed will be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts
will together constitute but one agreement. Each party hereto may execute this Agreement in Adobe
Portable
Document Format (or similar format) (“PDF”) sent by electronic mail or via DocuSign. In addition, PDF signatures of

Exhibit 99.1
Spirit Airlines Announces Comprehensive Agreement
to Deleverage Balance Sheet and Position the Company for Long-Term Success as a Leading Low-Fare Carrier
Flights, Ticket Sales, Reservations and All Other
Operations Continue as Normal
Restructuring Support Agreement Already Signed
by a Supermajority of Spirit’s Bondholders
Voluntary Prearranged Chapter 11 Proceedings
Commenced to Implement the Agreed Deleveraging and Recapitalization Transactions
Receives Backstopped Commitments for $350 Million
Equity Investment and $300 Million in Debtor-in-Possession Financing from Existing Bondholders; Vendors, Aircraft Lessors and Holders
of Secured Aircraft Indebtedness to Be Paid in the Ordinary Course and Will Not be Impaired
DANIA BEACH, Fla., Nov. 18, 2024 – Spirit Airlines, Inc.
("Spirit" or the "Company") (NYSE: SAVE) today announced that it has entered into a restructuring support agreement
(the “RSA”) supported by a supermajority of Spirit’s loyalty and convertible bondholders on the terms of a comprehensive
balance sheet restructuring. The restructuring is expected to reduce Spirit’s debt, provide increased financial flexibility, position
Spirit for long-term success and accelerate investments providing Guests with enhanced travel experiences and greater value.
In connection with the RSA, Spirit has received backstopped commitments
for a $350 million equity investment from existing bondholders and will complete a deleveraging transaction to equitize $795 million of
funded debt. To implement the RSA, the Company has commenced a prearranged chapter 11 process in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the Southern District of New York (the “Court”). Existing bondholders are also providing $300 million in debtor-in-possession
(“DIP”) financing, which, together with Spirit's available cash reserves and cash provided by operations, is expected to further
support the Company through the chapter 11 process.
Spirit expects to continue operating its business in the normal course
throughout this prearranged, streamlined chapter 11 process. Guests can continue to book and fly without interruption and can use all
tickets, credits and loyalty points as normal. The chapter 11 process itself will not impact Team Member wages or benefits, which are
continuing to be paid and honored for those employed by Spirit. Vendors, aircraft lessors and holders of secured aircraft indebtedness
will continue to be paid in the ordinary course and will not be impaired.
“I am pleased we have reached an agreement with a supermajority
of both our loyalty and convertible bondholders on a comprehensive recapitalization of the Company, which is a strong vote of confidence
in Spirit and our long-term plan,” said Ted Christie, Spirit's President and Chief Executive Officer. “This set of transactions
will materially strengthen our balance sheet and position Spirit for the future while we continue executing on our strategic initiatives
to transform our Guest experience, providing new enhanced travel options, greater value and increased flexibility. I’m extremely
proud of the Spirit team’s hard work and dedication, which is key to our sustained progress in advancing our business and delivering
for our Guests.”
As part of the chapter 11 process, Spirit is filing a proposed Plan
of Reorganization (the “Plan”) that incorporates the agreed terms of the RSA and is subject to confirmation by the Court.
The Company has received support from a supermajority of its loyalty and convertible bondholders and expects to emerge from a streamlined
chapter 11 process in the first quarter of 2025.
In conjunction with the petition, Spirit has filed a series of first-day
motions, which, once approved by the Court, will further facilitate the Company operating its business in the ordinary course during the
streamlined chapter 11 process.
As a result of the chapter 11 filing, Spirit expects to be delisted
from the New York Stock Exchange in the near term. The Company expects that its common stock will continue to trade in the over-the-counter
marketplace through the chapter 11 process. The shares are expected to be cancelled and have no value as part of Spirit's restructuring.

5 Situation Overview • Spirit Airlines, Inc. (“Spirit” or the “Company”) is the seventh largest carrier in the United States with a core customer base of domestic leisure and VFR (1) travelers and operations in the largest U.S. metro markets and several large U.S. and LATAM leisure markets • In 2023, Spirit generated $5.4 billion in Net Revenue and $316 million in Adj. EBITDAR (2) , with approximately 300,000 departures • In March 2023, the Department of Justice sued to block the Company’s proposed merger with JetBlue citing the potentially anticompetitive nature of the transaction. In January 2024, a federal court permanently enjoined the proposed merger. Spirit and JetBlue mutually agreed to terminate their merger agreement in March 2024. • Since mid - 2023, Spirit has spent significant time preparing its plan for a standalone business in the absence of a merger • In the post - pandemic period, and since the initial agreement of the JetBlue merger in July 2022, the U.S. airline industry has seen material change as a result of shifting customer demand and operating headwinds – The supply of low - fare offerings from non - ULCC carriers has materially increased alongside a shift in demand for more ‘premium leisure’ offerings – Business travel through 2023 had not fully returned to pre - COVID volumes increasing capacity for leisure travel – Inflationary headwinds have driven increases in unit costs for all airlines, disproportionately affecting margins for low - fare carriers – OEM production issues and equipment recalls (e.g., ongoing 737 MAX revisions and delivery deferrals, Pratt & Whitney powder metal defects, etc.) have introduced significant capacity constraints and downtime for U.S. carriers • In light of these market dynamics, Spirit has embarked upon a comprehensive strategic transformation to improve the Company’s financial profile and re - align its business model to adapt to the revised customer and competitive landscape, referred to herein as “ Project Bravo ” • Several key steps have already been taken or are being evaluated to bolster the Company’s liquidity as part of Project Bravo, with an estimated 2024 benefit of greater than $1 billion; key actions include: (i) January sale - leasebacks, (ii) JetBlue termination fee, (iii) reduced PDP commitments, (iv) agreement with Pratt & Whitney for GTF issues (v) direct lease and PDP transactions and (vi) continued evaluation of normal course asset financing Source: Company filings Notes: (1) Visiting friends and relatives; (2) Adj.

7 • As of 6/30/2024, Spirit had ~$1.1 billion of liquidity, including cash and cash equivalents, short - term investments and availability under the Company’s $300 million revolving credit facility, and expects to end 2024 with ~$840 million liquidity (1) – In addition to the actions below, the Company generated $320 million of net liquidity in Q4’23 via sale - leaseback of 20 aircraft • 2024 liquidity initiatives achieved to date include: Sale - leaseback of 5 owned aircraft in January 2024, with net cash proceeds of $99 million Receipt of $69 million from the termination of the Merger Agreement with JetBlue 1 – 2 – N o te: (1) Pro forma for incremental financings expected before year - end 2024; (2) In addition, in 2025, the Company expects to receive ~$45M of from additional aircraft sales; (3) The Company’s forecast illustratively assumes that the revolver draw will be repaid in 2027; (4) Guidance as of November 14, 2024 3 – Reduced PDP commitments to Airbus enhancing 2024 liquidity by approximately $ 231 million through deferral of ‘25 - ‘26 deliveries, allowing for a reset of the fleet strategy in accordance with Project Bravo 4 – Finalized P&W agreement in March 2024 for GTF issues, with negotiated credits expected to range from $150 to $200 million in ’24 5 – Raised ~$192 million through direct lease and PDP transactions (2) • Other 2024 liquidity initiatives being evaluated include incremental proceeds estimated in excess of ~$250 million from asset financings in the normal course, including potential EETC refinancings and aircraft sales. (2) Additionally, the Company fully drew its revolver in Q4’24, resulting in a ~$300 million increase in cash (3) • Preliminary Q4 - 2024 Guidance (4) : – Company estimates Q4 - 24 capacity will decline ~20% year - over - year, mostly driven by network optimization initiatives, AOGs and fleet management initiatives – Q4 - 24 TRASM expected to increase ~12% year - over - year largely driven by above - noted capacity reduction and uplift from Bravo – Current Q4 - 24 operating revenue and adj.

19 Legacy Carrier Fare Offerings Historically, and prior to ULCC market entry, Legacy carriers offered passengers with two fare class options Economy and First Class / Business at a single price point
20 Bundle Offering 2 Bags 3 Seats 4 Flight Availability 1 Spirit’s Unbundled Economy Product • In 2007, Spirit was the first carrier to unbundle the economy product creating a new low base fare offering for price conscious customers with the optionality to purchase ancillary features (e.g., seat selection, on - board amenities, luggage, etc.) for an added fee • In response to market success of ultra low - cost carriers, the ULCC category continued to expand and take market share from Legacy and Value carriers

22 Market Response to ULCC Market Entry • In 2017, in response to financial pressure from ULCC’s, Legacy carriers revised their business model to bifurcate passenger o fferings into a wider range of fare classes, including an unbundled basic economy offering to match ULCCs • “Value” carriers began to offer a similar suite of unbundled fare classes to mirror larger carrier product offerings Legacy Carriers Value Carriers

24 COVID Generates Lasting Customer Preference for Premium Leisure Products The COVID pandemic resulted in significant losses across the industry, which is still largely recovering today. Premium leisure demand soared which, in combination with unbundled fare competition, allowed Legacy and Value carriers to compete for an even greater portion of basic economy share “ …what we’ve seen, is the people who got used to it for purpose of travel and now leisure which has been the accelerating part coming out of COVID, they’re buying the premium products.” - Glen Hauenstein, Delta Airlines Dec. 23 “… and that is one of the reasons for the great execution in the quarter, is that we see corporate rebounds in, but we see the desire for premium products by leisure customers continue to be strong.” – Andrew Nocella, United Airlines 1Q24 “ …but we’ve continued to see strength in premium cabin style fares. Our total premium seats across the system are up about 5% year - over - year. Our total premium revenues were up about 15% year - over - year.” – Vasu Raja, American Airlines 2Q23 “ The pandemic clearly created a boom in premium leisure demand that we see today, and these passengers often purchase an upgraded experience. – Andrew Nocella, United Airlines 2Q23
