4.03. Transfer of Interests and Securities.

(a) During the Effective Period, (i) no Supporting Creditor shall sell, pledge, assign, transfer, permit the participation in, or otherwise dispose of (each, a “Transfer”) any ownership in any of the Debtor Claims/Interests, unless the transferee thereof either (i) is a Supporting Creditor, or (ii) prior to such Transfer, agrees in writing for the benefit of the other Parties to be bound by all of the terms of this Agreement with respect to such acquired Debtor Claim/Interest by executing the joinder in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Joinder Agreement”), and delivering an executed copy thereof, within five (5) business days of closing of such Transfer, to the parties set forth in Section 10.09 hereof, in which event the transferee shall be deemed to be a Supporting Creditor under this Agreement with respect to such transferred Debtor Claims/Interests. Each Supporting Creditor agrees and acknowledges that any Transfer of Debtor Claims/Interests that does not comply with the terms and procedures set forth in this Section 4.03 shall be deemed null and void ab initio.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) any Supporting Creditor may Transfer (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) any Debtor Claims/Interests to an entity that is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker⁵ without the requirement that the Qualified Marketmaker be or become a Supporting Creditor; provided, that the Qualified Marketmaker subsequently Transfers (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) the right, title, or interest in such Debtor Claims/Interests to a transferee that is or becomes a Supporting Creditor by executing a Joinder Agreement; and (ii) to the extent a Supporting Creditor, acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker, acquires any Debtor Claims/Interests from a holder of such claim or interest who is not a Supporting Creditor, it may transfer (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) such claim or interest without the requirement that the transferee be or become a Supporting Creditor. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Qualified Marketmaker acquires a Debtor Claim/Interest from a Supporting Creditor as an “own account” investment, it shall not be deemed to be a Qualified Marketmaker for purposes of this Section 4.03(b).

⁵

For the purposes of this Section 4.04, a “Qualified Marketmaker” means an entity that (a) holds itself out to the market as standing ready in the ordinary course of its business to purchase from customers and sell to customers claims against and/or interests in (as applicable) the Debtors and their affiliates (including debt securities or other debt) or enter with customers into long and short positions in claims against the Debtors and their affiliates (including debt securities or other debt), in its capacity as a dealer or market maker in such claims against the Debtors and their affiliates and (b) is in fact regularly in the business of making a market in claims against issuers or borrowers (including debt securities or other debt).

(c) This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude the Supporting Creditors from acquiring additional Debtor Claims/Interests; provided, however, that (i) any Supporting Creditor that acquires additional Debtor Claims/Interests after the Agreement Effective Date shall promptly notify, at such Supporting Creditor’s election (A) the Debtors and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP (“Davis Polk”) of such acquisition including the amount of such acquisition or (B) Davis Polk of such acquisition including the amount of such acquisition and cause Davis Polk to notify the Debtors of such acquisition, including the amount thereof, but not the identity of the Supporting Creditor and (ii) such acquired Debtor Claims/Interests shall automatically and immediately upon acquisition by a Supporting Creditor be deemed subject to the terms of this Agreement (regardless of when or whether notice of such acquisition is given to the Debtors).

(d) To the extent the Debtors and another Party have entered into a separate confidentiality agreement with respect to the issuance of a “cleansing letter” or other public disclosure of information in connection with any proposed Restructuring (each such executed agreement, a “Confidentiality Agreement”), the terms of such Confidentiality Agreement shall continue to apply and remain in full force and effect according to its terms.

4.04. Representations and Warranties of Supporting Creditors. Each Supporting Creditor, severally, and not jointly, represents and warrants to all Parties that:

(a) it is the beneficial owner of the face amount or unit amount, as applicable, of the Debtor Claims/Interests, or is the nominee, investment manager, or advisor for beneficial holders of the Debtor Claims/Interests, as reflected, subject to Section 10.13 of this Agreement, in such Supporting Creditor’s signature block to this Agreement (each such signature block, a “Supporting Creditor Signature Block”), which amount each Party understands and acknowledges is proprietary and confidential to such Supporting Creditor (such Debtor Claims/Interests, the “Owned Debtor Claims/Interests”);

(b) it has the full power and authority to act on behalf of, vote and consent to matters concerning the Owned Debtor Claims/Interests (or direct such action, vote, or consent);

(c) the Owned Debtor Claims/Interests are free and clear of any pledge, lien, security interest, charge, claim, equity, option, proxy, voting restriction, right of first refusal, or other limitation on disposition, transfer, or encumbrances of any kind, that would adversely affect in any way such Supporting Creditor’s ability to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement at the time such obligations are required to be performed;

(d) (i) it is either (A) a qualified institutional buyer as defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act or (B) an institutional accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (2), (3), or (7) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act’) (C) a Regulation S non-U.S. person or (D) the foreign equivalent of (A) or (B) above, and (ii) any securities of the Company acquired by the applicable Supporting Creditor in connection with the Restructuring will have been acquired for investment and not with a view to distribution or resale in violation of the Securities Act;

(e) as of the date hereof, it has no actual knowledge of any event that, due to any fiduciary or similar duty to any other person or entity, would prevent it from taking any action required of it under this Agreement; and

(f) the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement does not and shall not: (a) violate any provision of law, rules, or regulations applicable to it or any of its subsidiaries in any material respect; (b) violate its certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or other organizational documents or those of any of its subsidiaries; or (c) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or both) a default under any contractual obligation to which it is a party, which conflict, breach, or default, would have a material adverse effect on the Restructuring.

Section 5. Mutual Representations, Warranties, and Covenants. Each of the Parties, severally and not jointly represents, warrants, and covenants to each other Party:

5.01. Enforceability. It is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its organization, and this Agreement is a legal, valid, and binding obligation of such Party, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

5.02. No Consent or Approval. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the Plan, the Restructuring Term Sheet, or the Bankruptcy Code, no consent or approval is required by any other person or entity in order for it to effectuate the Restructuring contemplated by, and perform the respective obligations under, this Agreement.

5.03. Power and Authority. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, it has all requisite corporate or other power and authority to enter into, execute, and deliver this Agreement and to effectuate the Restructuring contemplated by, and perform its respective obligations under, this Agreement.

5.04. Governmental Consents. Except as expressly set forth herein and with respect to the Company Parties’ performance of this Agreement (and subject to necessary Bankruptcy Court approval and/or regulatory approvals associated with the Restructuring), the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement does not, and shall not, require any registration or filing with consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any federal, state, or other governmental authority or regulatory body.

Section 6. Acknowledgement. Notwithstanding any other provision herein, this Agreement is not and shall not be deemed to be an offer with respect to any securities or solicitation of votes for the acceptance of a plan of reorganization for purposes of sections 1125 and 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. Any such offer or solicitation will be made only in compliance with all applicable securities laws and provisions of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors will not solicit acceptances of the Plan from Supporting Creditors in any manner inconsistent with the Bankruptcy Code or applicable bankruptcy law.

With respect to Claims related to the Credit Agreement (“Credit Agreement Claims”), each Supporting Creditor Signature Block shall disclose only the aggregate principal amount of such Supporting Creditor’s beneficially owned or managed Total Credit Exposure (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The Parties agree and acknowledge that the reported amount of such Credit Agreement Claims does not necessarily reflect the full amount of such Creditor’s Claims in respect of the Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, principal, accrued and unpaid interest, fees and expenses) and any disclosure made on any Supporting Creditor Signature Block shall be without prejudice to any subsequent assertion by or on behalf of such Supporting Creditor of the full amount of its Claims.

10.14. Automatic Stay. The Company acknowledges and agrees, and shall not dispute, that the giving of a termination notice in accordance with Sections 7 and 10.09 hereof by any of the Supporting Creditors shall not be a violation of the automatic stay under section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (and the Company hereby waives, to the greatest extent possible, the applicability of such automatic stay to the giving of such notice), and the Supporting Creditors are hereby authorized to take any steps necessary to effectuate the termination of this Agreement notwithstanding section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law, and no cure period contained in this Agreement shall be extended pursuant to sections 108 or 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable law without the prior written consent of the Required Supporting Creditors.

It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would not be a sufficient 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 (including attorney’s fees and costs) as a remedy for any such breach, in addition to any other remedy to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled, at law or equity, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy, including an order of the Chosen Court or the Bankruptcy Court requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder. Each Party agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of a bond in connection with such remedy.

During the continuance of an event of default under the DIP Facility, overdue amounts will bear interest at an additional 2% per annum (the “Default Rate”).

(a) be entitled to superpriority administrative expense claim status in the Case of such Loan Party (the “DIP Superpriority Claims”);

(c) except as otherwise provided in the immediately following clause (d) be secured by a junior perfected security interest and lien on the Collateral of each Loan Party to the extent that such Collateral is subject to valid, perfected and unavoidable liens in favor of third parties that were in existence immediately prior to the Petition Date and permitted under the Prepetition Credit Agreement, or to valid and unavoidable permitted liens in favor of third parties that were in existence immediately prior to the Petition Date that were perfected subsequent to the Petition Date as permitted by Section 546(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (other than the existing liens that secure obligations of the applicable Loan Party under or governed by the Prepetition Credit Agreement, which existing liens will be primed by the liens described in clause (d) below), subject as to priority to such liens in favor of such third parties; and

(d) pursuant to Section 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code, be secured by a perfected priming security interest and lien on the Collateral of each Loan Party (such lien and security interest, the “Priming Liens”) to the extent that Collateral is subject to existing liens that secure the obligations of the applicable Loan Party under the Prepetition Credit Agreement (the “Primed Liens”).

The Priming Liens (x) shall be senior in all respects to the interests in such property of the Prepetition Secured Lenders under the Prepetition Credit Facilities (the “Primed Parties”) and (y) shall also be senior to any liens granted to provide Adequate Protection in respect of any of the Primed Liens.

All of the liens described above shall be effective and perfected upon entry of the Interim DIP Order.

“Collateral” means all owned or hereafter acquired assets and property of the Loan Parties (including, without limitation, inventory, accounts receivable, property, plant, equipment, rights under leases and other contracts, patents, copyrights, trademarks, tradenames and other intellectual property and capital stock of subsidiaries), and the proceeds thereof, subject to exclusions based on the Prepetition Credit Facilities with modifications to be agreed that are customary for facilities of this type, and excluding Avoidance Actions and, prior to entry of the Final DIP Order, proceeds of Avoidance Actions.

Carve-Out:

As used in this Term Sheet, the “Carve-Out” means the sum of (i) all fees required to be paid to the Clerk of the Court and to the Office of the United States Trustee under section 1930(a) of title 28 of the United States Code plus interest at the statutory rate (without regard to the notice set forth in (iii) below); (ii) all reasonable fees and expenses up to $50,000 incurred by a trustee under section 726(b) of the Bankruptcy Code (without regard to the notice set forth in (iii) below); (iii) to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order, procedural order, or otherwise, all unpaid fees and expenses (the “Allowed Professional Fees”) incurred by persons or firms retained by the Debtors pursuant to section 327, 328, or 363 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Debtor Professionals”) and the Creditors’ Committee pursuant to section 328 or 1103 of the Bankruptcy Code (the “Committee Professionals” and, together with the Debtor Professionals, the “Professional Persons”) at any time before or on the first business day following delivery by the Administrative Agent of a Carve-Out Trigger Notice (as defined below), whether allowed by the Court prior to or after delivery of a Carve-Out Trigger Notice; and (iv) Allowed Professional Fees of Professional Persons in an aggregate amount not to exceed $4,000,000 incurred after the first business day following delivery by the Administrative Agent of the Carve-Out Trigger Notice, to the extent allowed at any time, whether by interim order, procedural order, or otherwise (the amounts set forth in this clause (iv) being the “Post-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Cap”). For purposes of the foregoing, “Carve-Out Trigger Notice” shall mean a written notice delivered by email (or other electronic means) by the Administrative Agent to the Debtors, their lead restructuring counsel, the U.S. trustee, and counsel to the Creditors’ Committee, which notice may be delivered following the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default and acceleration of the DIP Facility, stating that the Post-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Cap has been invoked.

On the day on which a Carve-Out Trigger Notice is given by the Administrative Agent to the Debtors with a copy to counsel to the Creditors’ Committee (the “Termination Declaration Date”), the Carve-Out Trigger Notice shall (i) be deemed a draw request and notice of borrowing by the US Borrower for DIP Loans under the DIP Commitment (on a pro rata basis based on the then outstanding DIP Commitments), in an amount equal to the then unpaid amounts of the Allowed Professional Fees (any such amounts actually advanced shall constitute DIP Loans) and (ii) also constitute a demand to the US Borrower to utilize all cash on hand as of such date and any available cash thereafter held by any Debtor to fund a reserve in an amount equal to the then unpaid amounts of the Allowed Professional Fees. The Debtors shall deposit and hold such amounts in a segregated account at the Administrative Agent in trust to pay such then unpaid Allowed Professional Fees (the “Pre-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Reserve”) prior to any and all other claims. On the Termination Declaration Date, the Carve-Out Trigger Notice shall also be deemed a request by the Debtors for DIP Loans under the DIP Commitment (on a pro rata basis based on the then outstanding DIP Commitments), in an amount equal to the Post-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Cap (any such amounts actually advanced shall constitute DIP Loans). The Debtors shall deposit and hold such amounts in a segregated account at the Administrative Agent in trust to pay such Allowed Professional Fees benefiting from the Post-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Cap (the “Post Carve-Out Trigger Notice Reserve” and, together with the Pre-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Reserve, the “Carve-Out Reserves”) prior to any and all other claims. On the first business day after the Administrative Agent gives such notice to such DIP Lenders, notwithstanding anything in the Term Sheet to the contrary, including with respect to the existence of a Default or Event of Default, the

failure of the Debtors to satisfy any or all of the conditions precedent for DIP Loans under the DIP Facility, any termination of the DIP Commitments following an Event of Default, or the occurrence of the Scheduled Termination Date, each DIP Lender with an outstanding Commitment (on a pro rata basis based on the then outstanding Commitments) shall make available to the Administrative Agent such DIP Lender’s pro rata share with respect to such borrowing in accordance with the DIP Facility. All funds in the Pre-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Reserve shall be used first to pay the obligations set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of the definition of Carve-Out set forth above (the “Pre-Carve-Out Amounts”), but not, for the avoidance of doubt, the Post-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Cap, until paid in full, and then, to the extent the Pre Carve-Out Trigger Notice Reserve has not been reduced to zero, to pay the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the DIP Lenders, unless the DIP Facility has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all Commitments have been terminated, in which case any such excess shall be paid to the Prepetition Secured Lenders in accordance with their rights and priorities as of the Petition Date. All funds in the Post-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Reserve shall be used first to pay the obligations set forth in clause (iv) of the definition of Carve-Out set forth above (the “Post-Carve-Out Amounts”), and then, to the extent the Post Carve-Out Trigger Notice Reserve has not been reduced to zero, to pay the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the DIP Lenders, unless the DIP Facility has been indefeasibly paid in full in cash and all Commitments have been terminated, in which case any such excess shall be paid to the Prepetition Secured Lenders in accordance with their rights and priorities as of the Petition Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Term Sheet, if either of the Carve-Out Reserves is not funded in full in the amounts set forth herein, then, any excess funds in one of the Carve-Out Reserves following the payment of the Pre-Carve-Out Amounts and Post-Carve-Out Amounts, respectively, shall be used to fund the other Carve-Out Reserve, up to the applicable amount set forth herein, prior to making any payments to the Administrative Agent or the Prepetition Secured Lenders, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Term Sheet, following delivery of a Carve-Out Trigger Notice, the Administrative Agent and the Prepetition Secured Lenders shall not sweep or foreclose on cash (including cash received as a result of the sale or other disposition of any assets) of the Debtors until the Carve-Out Reserves have been fully funded, but shall have a security interest in any residual interest in the Carve-Out Reserves, with any excess paid to the Administrative Agent for application in accordance with this Term Sheet. Further, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Term Sheet, (i) disbursements by the Debtors from the Carve-Out Reserves shall not constitute DIP Loans or increase or reduce the DIP Facility, (ii) the failure of the Carve-Out Reserves to satisfy in full the Allowed Professional Fees shall not affect the priority of the Carve-Out, and (iii) in no way shall the initial budget, budget, Carve-Out, Post-Carve-Out Trigger Notice Cap, Carve-Out Reserves, or any of the foregoing be construed as a cap or limitation on the amount of the Allowed Professional Fees due and payable by the Debtors. For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Prepetition Credit Facilities, the Carve-Out shall be senior to all liens and claims securing the DIP Facility, and any and all other forms of adequate protection, liens, or claims securing the DIP Facility.

Any payment or reimbursement made prior to the occurrence of the Termination Declaration Date in respect of any Allowed Professional Fees shall not reduce the Carve-Out.

Any payment or reimbursement made on or after the occurrence of the Termination Declaration Date in respect of any Allowed Professional Fees shall

permanently reduce the Carve-Out on a dollar-for-dollar basis. Any funding of the Carve-Out shall be added to, and made a part of, the DIP Facility secured by the Collateral and shall be otherwise entitled to the protections granted under the order approving the DIP Facility, the Bankruptcy Code, and applicable law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Carve-Out shall not include, apply to or be available for any fees or expenses incurred by any party in connection with (a) the investigation, initiation or prosecution of any claims, causes of action, adversary proceedings or other litigation (i) against any of the DIP Lenders, the Administrative Agent, or the Prepetition Secured Lenders, or (ii) challenging the amount, validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of or asserting any defense, counterclaim or offset to, the obligations and the liens and security interests granted under the DIP Loan Documents or the indebtedness described in “Certain Prepetition Debt Facilities” above (whether in such capacity or otherwise), including, in each case, without limitation, for lender liability or pursuant to section 105, 510, 544, 547, 548, 549, 550, or 552 of the Bankruptcy Code, applicable non-bankruptcy law or otherwise; (b) attempts to modify any of the rights granted to the DIP Lenders or the Administrative Agent; (c) attempts to prevent, hinder or otherwise delay any of the DIP Lenders’ or the Administrative Agent’s assertion, enforcement or realization upon any Collateral in accordance with the DIP Loan Documents and the Final DIP Order other than to seek a determination that an event of default has not occurred or is not continuing; or (d) paying any amount on account of any claims arising before the commencement of the Cases unless such payments are approved by an order of the Bankruptcy Court; provided, however, that the Carve Out and such collateral proceeds and loans under the DIP Loan Documents may be used for allowed fees and expenses, in an amount not to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate (the “Investigation Fund”), incurred solely by the Creditors’ Committee in investigating any potential Challenges (as defined in the Interim DIP Order) during the Challenge Period (as defined in the Interim DIP Order); provided further, however, that the Investigation Fund shall not be used for fees and expenses incurred to initiate, assert, join, commence, support, or prosecute any Challenges.

Adequate Protection:

As protection in respect of (x) the incurrence of the DIP Facility, (y) the imposition of the automatic stay, and (z) the Debtors’ use of the Existing Collateral including Cash Collateral, the Debtors and the DIP Lenders agree, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, to all of the following forms of adequate protection (the “Adequate Protection”):

(a) The Existing Collateral comprising Cash Collateral may be used to the extent set forth in this Term Sheet and the DIP Loan Documents.

(b) Subject to the requirements and limitations set forth in the Rolling Budget (subject to permitted variances), Cash Collateral will only be used for the purposes set forth in the Rolling Budget (subject to permitted variances), without prior written authorization of the Required DIP Lenders (in their reasonable discretion), provided that Cash Collateral will only be used in accordance with the DIP orders entered by the Bankruptcy Court from time to time.

(c) From the date of the Interim DIP Order to the DIP Facility Termination Date, and except to the extent of the Carve-Out, no claim may be asserted against the Administrative Agent, the DIP Lenders, or the Prepetition Secured Lenders, each in their capacity as such, to charge any expenses of administration of the Cases or any future proceeding that may result therefrom, including liquidation in bankruptcy or other proceedings under the Bankruptcy Code, against the Collateral or the Existing Collateral or recover such expenses from


		the Collateral or the Existing Collateral pursuant to section 506(c) of the Bankruptcy Code or any similar principle of law, without the prior written consent of the Required DIP Lenders and the Prepetition Secured Lenders, and no such consent shall be implied from any other action, inaction, or acquiescence by the DIP Lenders or Prepetition Secured Lenders. (d) The Primed Parties whose liens will be primed as described above, and whose Cash Collateral will be authorized for use by the Loan Parties, will receive as adequate protection, pursuant to sections 361, 363(e) and 364(d)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code: (i) current cash payment of professional fees and expenses otherwise reimbursable under the Prepetition Credit Facilities, (ii) to the extent of any diminution in value of their prepetition security interests, replacement or, if applicable, new liens on the Collateral that are junior to the liens securing the DIP Facility, and (iii) to the extent of any diminution in value of their prepetition security interests, superpriority claims as provided for in section 507(b) of the Bankruptcy Code that are junior to the DIP Superpriority Claims.
