ARTICLE II

BACKSTOP COMMITMENT
Section 1.1The Rights Offering. On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including entry of the Backstop Order, the Company Parties shall, and shall cause New Intermediate Holding Company to, conduct the Rights Offering pursuant to, and in accordance with, the Rights Offering Procedures, this Agreement, and the Plan.
Section 1.2The Subscription Commitment; The Backstop Commitment.
(a)On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Backstop Party agrees, severally and not jointly, to fully and timely exercise, in accordance with Section 2.4, and to cause its Related Funds to fully and timely exercise, in accordance with Section 2.4, all Backstop Party Rights that are properly issued to it and to duly purchase, and to cause its Related Funds to duly purchase, on the Effective Date for the applicable aggregate Purchase Price all Subscription Shares issuable to it in the Rights Offering in connection with such Backstop Party Rights (the “Subscription Commitment”).
(b)On and subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Backstop Party agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase, and the Company Parties agree to sell, and to cause New Intermediate Holding Company to sell, to such Backstop Party, on the Effective Date for the applicable aggregate Purchase Price, the number of Unsubscribed Shares equal to (i) such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage multiplied by (ii) the aggregate number of Unsubscribed Shares (rounded among the Backstop Parties solely to avoid fractional shares of New Preferred Equity as the Backstop Parties may determine in their sole discretion) (the “Backstop Commitment”); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, Azurite shall initially be allocated and have the obligation to purchase the Initial Azurite Allocation of any Unsubscribed Shares and the obligation to purchase any Unsubscribed Shares in excess of the Initial Azurite Allocation shall be allocated to and purchased by all of the Backstop Parties (other than Azurite) based on their respective Backstop Commitment Percentages, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. As used in the immediately preceding sentence, “Initial Azurite Allocation” shall mean the difference between (x) $3,000,000 and (y) the Purchase Price of all Subscription Shares which Azurite is obligated to purchase pursuant to its Subscription Commitment. For the avoidance of doubt, after Azurite receives the Initial Azurite Allocation, it shall have no further right or obligation to purchase Unsubscribed Shares as a Backstop Party.
Section 1.3Backstop Party Default.
(a)Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of written notice from the Company to all Backstop Parties of a Backstop Party Default, which notice shall be given promptly to all Backstop Parties substantially concurrently following the occurrence of such Backstop Party Default (such five (5) Business Day period, which may be extended with the consent of the Required Backstop Parties and the Company Parties, the “Backstop Party Replacement Period”), the Backstop Parties and their respective Related Funds (other than any Defaulting Backstop Party) shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make arrangements for one or more of the Backstop Parties (other than any Defaulting Backstop Party) to purchase all or any portion of the Available Shares (such purchase, a “Backstop 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 Backstop Parties electing to purchase all or any portion of the Available Shares, or, if no such agreement is reached, based upon the applicable Backstop Commitment Percentage of any such Backstop Parties and their respective Related Purchasers (other than any Defaulting Backstop Party) (such Backstop Parties, the “Replacement Backstop Parties”). Any
15

such Available Shares purchased by a Replacement Backstop Party shall be included, among other things, in the determination of (x) the Unsubscribed Shares to be purchased by such Replacement Backstop Party for all purposes hereunder, (y) the Backstop Commitment Percentage of such Replacement Backstop Party for all purposes hereunder as adjusted to reflect the Unsubscribed Shares to be purchased by such Replacement Backstop Party (the “Adjusted Backstop Commitment Percentage”) and (z) the Backstop Commitment of such Replacement Backstop Party for purposes of the definition of the “Required Backstop Parties.” If a Backstop Party Default occurs, (i) the Outside Date shall be delayed and (ii) each Backstop Party shall support an extension of the milestones, in each case only to the extent necessary to allow for the Backstop Party Replacement to be completed within the Backstop Party Replacement Period. For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the Plan, the allocation of Exchangeable Preferred Equity which each Backstop Party shall receive pursuant to the Plan in connection with its purchase of New Money Preferred Equity in the Rights Offering shall be based upon the total amount of New Money Preferred Equity which it purchases pursuant to its Subscription Commitment, Backstop Commitment or its agreement to purchase Available Shares as a Replacement Backstop Party.
(b)Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if a Backstop Party is a Defaulting Backstop Party, (x) it shall not be entitled to any of the Backstop Commitment Premium, Backstop Commitment Termination Premium, or any expense reimbursement applicable solely to such Defaulting Backstop Party (including the Expense Reimbursement) provided, or to be provided, under or in connection with this Agreement, and (y) it and its Affiliates, equity holders, members, partners, general partners, managers and its and their respective Representatives and controlling persons shall not be entitled to any indemnification pursuant to Article IX hereof. All distributions of New Common Equity distributable to a Defaulting Backstop Party on account of the Backstop Commitment Premium or payments of cash in respect of the Backstop Commitment Termination Premium, as applicable, (i) shall be re-allocated contractually and turned over as liquidated damages to those non-Defaulting Backstop Parties that have elected to subscribe for their full Adjusted Backstop Commitment Percentage, or (ii) if Available Shares are not purchased by the non-Defaulting Backstop Parties, forfeited and retained by the Company Parties, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, No Backstop Commitment Premium or Backstop Commitment Termination Premium shall be payable to any of the Backstop Parties (including, for avoidance of doubt, a Backstop Party who is not a Defaulting Backstop Party) in the event of any Backstop Party Default unless all of the Available Shares are purchased and actually funded by one or more Replacement Backstop Parties in accordance with Section 2.3.
(c)Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require a Backstop Party to purchase more than its Subscription Commitment and its Backstop Commitment.
(d)For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 10.6, but subject to Section 11.10, no provision of this Agreement shall relieve any Defaulting Backstop Party from any liability hereunder, or limit the availability of the remedies set forth in Section 11.9, in connection with any such Defaulting Backstop Party’s Backstop Party Default under this Article II or otherwise.

due. Unless otherwise ordered by the Bankruptcy Court, no recipient of any payment hereunder shall be required to file with respect thereto any interim or final fee application with the Bankruptcy Court with respect to such payment.

Section 1.5Integration; Administrative Expense. The provisions for the payment of the Backstop Commitment Premium, the Backstop Commitment Termination Premium and Expense Reimbursement, and the indemnification provided herein, are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Backstop Parties would not have entered into this Agreement.

Following the entry of the Backstop Order, but effective as of the date hereof, the Company Parties (the “Indemnifying Parties,” and each, an “Indemnifying Party”) shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless each Backstop Party and its Affiliates, 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 Taxes of the Backstop Parties except to the extent otherwise provided for in this Agreement) (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, the Plan, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the Backstop Commitment, the Rights Offering, the Expense Reimbursement, the payment of the Backstop Commitment Premium or the Backstop Commitment Termination Premium or the use of the proceeds of 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 Parties, the Reorganized Company Parties, their respective equity holders, Affiliates, creditors or any other
43

Person, and reimburse each Indemnified Person upon demand for reasonable documented out-of-pocket (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 Backstop Party or its Related Parties, or (b) to the extent they are found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person. The Indemnified Persons are express third-party beneficiaries of this Article IX.
Section 1.2Indemnification 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 Agreement. 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 or participation therein, with counsel reasonably acceptable to such Indemnified Person; provided, further, 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 documented out-of-pocket 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 such failure is not reasonably cured within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of such notice by the Indemnifying Party, or (iv) the Indemnifying Party shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Person.
44

Section 1.3Settlement of Indemnified Claims. 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 IX. Notwithstanding anything in this Article IX to the contrary, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested the Indemnifying Party to reimburse such Indemnified Person for legal or other expenses in connection with investigating, responding to or defending any Indemnified Claims as contemplated by this Article IX, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement of any Indemnified Claims effected without its written consent if (a) such settlement is entered into more than thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such request for reimbursement and (b) the Indemnifying Party shall not have reimbursed such Indemnified Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. 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 (i) 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 (ii) 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 1.4Contribution. 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 9.1, 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 Parties pursuant to the issuance and sale of the Rights Offering Shares in the Rights Offering contemplated by this Agreement and the Plan bears to (b) the Backstop Commitment Premium paid or proposed to be paid to the Backstop Parties. Subject to Section 10.6, 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 1.5Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All amounts paid by an Indemnifying Party to an Indemnified Person under this Article IX shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the Backstop Commitment Premium or the Backstop Commitment Termination Premium of such Indemnified Person, as the case may be, or, to the extent arising after the Closing Date, the Purchase Price of the Rights Offering Shares subscribed for by such Indemnified Person in the Rights Offering, or the Unsubscribed Shares purchased by such Indemnified Person, as applicable. The provisions of this Article IX are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without these provisions the Backstop Parties would not have entered into this Agreement. The obligations of the Company Parties under this Article IX shall constitute allowed administrative
45

expenses of the Company Parties’ estates under Sections 503(b) and 507 of the Bankruptcy Code and are payable without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court, and that the Company Parties may comply with the requirements of this Article IX without further Order of the Bankruptcy Court.
Section 1.6No 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 express terms are to be satisfied after the Closing Date, which covenants and agreements shall survive until satisfied in accordance with their terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnification and other obligations of each of the Company Parties pursuant to this Article IX and the other obligations set forth in Section 10.6 shall survive the Closing Date until the latest date permitted by applicable Law and, if applicable, be assumed by each of the Reorganized Company Parties.

The terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than the conditions set forth in Section 8.1 and Section 8.4, the waiver of which shall be governed solely by Article VIII) may be waived (A) by the Company Parties only by a written instrument executed by the Company Parties and (B) by the Required Backstop Parties only by a written instrument executed by the Required Backstop Parties. No delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any waiver on the part of any Party of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege pursuant to this Agreement. The rights and remedies provided pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any party hereto otherwise may have at law or in equity.
Section 1.8Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
Section 1.9Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur if any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, including pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of posting a bond to prevent breaches of this Agreement or to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions hereof, in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, no right or remedy described or provided in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive or to preclude a Party from pursuing other rights and remedies to the extent available under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
Section 1.10Damages. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the Parties will be liable for, and none of the Parties shall claim or seek to recover, any punitive, special, indirect or consequential damages or damages for lost profits in connection with the breach or termination of this Agreement.
Section 1.11No Reliance. No Backstop Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duties or obligations to the other Backstop Parties in respect of this Agreement, the Plan or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) no Backstop Party or any of its Related Parties shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties to the other Backstop Parties, (b) no Backstop Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers on behalf of any other Backstop Party, (c) no Backstop Party or any of its Related Parties shall have any duty to the other Backstop Parties to obtain, through the exercise of diligence or otherwise, to investigate, confirm, or disclose to the other Backstop Parties any information relating to the Company Parties that may have been communicated to or
53

obtained by such Backstop Party or any of its Affiliates in any capacity, (d) no Backstop Party may rely, and confirms that it has not relied, on any due diligence investigation that any other Backstop Party or any Person acting on behalf of such other Backstop Party may have conducted with respect to the Company Parties or any of their Affiliates or any of their respective securities, and (e) each Backstop Party acknowledges that no other Backstop Party is acting as a placement agent, initial purchaser, underwriter, broker or finder with respect to its Unsubscribed Shares or Backstop Commitment Percentage of its Backstop Commitment.
Section 1.12Settlement Discussions. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are part of a proposed settlement of a dispute between the Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Section 408 of the U.S. Federal Rule of Evidence and any applicable state rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any Legal Proceeding, except to the extent filed with, or disclosed to, the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases (other than a Legal Proceeding to approve or enforce the terms of this Agreement). The Parties agree that any valuations of any Company Party’s assets or estates, whether implied or otherwise, arising from this Agreement shall not be binding for any other purpose, including determining recoveries under the Plan, and that this Agreement does not limit the Parties’ rights regarding valuation in the Chapter 11 Cases.
Section 1.13No Recourse. Notwithstanding anything that may be expressed or implied in this Agreement, and notwithstanding the fact that certain of the Parties may be partnerships or limited liability companies, each Party covenants, agrees and acknowledges that no recourse under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection with this Agreement shall be had against any Party’s Affiliates or any of the respective Related Parties of such Party or of the Affiliates of such Party (in each case other than the Parties to this Agreement and each of their respective successors and permitted assignees under this Agreement), whether by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, or by virtue of any applicable Law, it being expressly agreed and acknowledged that no personal liability whatsoever shall attach to, be imposed on or otherwise be incurred by any of such Related Parties, as such, for any obligation or liability of any Party under this Agreement or any documents or instruments delivered in connection herewith for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such obligations or liabilities or their creation; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 11.13 shall relieve or otherwise limit the liability of any Party hereto or any of their respective successors or permitted assigns for any breach or violation of its obligations under this Agreement or such other documents or instruments. For the avoidance of doubt, none of the Parties will have any recourse, be entitled to commence any proceeding or make any claim under this Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby except against any of the Parties or their respective successors and permitted assigns, as applicable.
Section 1.14Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement are held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions contained herein will not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties hereto will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Section 1.15Enforceability of Agreement. 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.
