Execution Version

22.Reservation of Rights; No Admission.

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and in any amendment hereto, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair or restrict the ability of each of the Restructuring Support Parties to (a) protect and preserve its rights, remedies and interests, including its claims against any of the other Restructuring Support Parties (or their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries) and any Encumbrances it may have on or in any assets or properties of any of the Debtors, (b) consult with any of the other Restructuring Support Parties, (c) fully participate in any bankruptcy case filed by any Debtor, or (d) purchase, sell or enter into any transactions in connection with Claims and Interests, in each case subject to the terms hereof. Without limiting the foregoing sentence in any way, if the Restructuring is not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by any Restructuring Support Party of any or all of such Restructuring Support Party’s rights, remedies, claims and defenses and the Restructuring Support Parties expressly reserve any and all of their respective rights, remedies, claims and defenses. No Consenting Lender shall have, by reason of this Agreement, a fiduciary relationship in respect of any other Restructuring Support Party, any holder of Claims and Interests, or any other Person, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to impose, or shall be construed as imposing, upon any Consenting Lender any obligations in respect of this Agreement or the Restructuring except as expressly set forth herein. This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Restructuring Support Parties. Pursuant to Rule 408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, any applicable state rules of evidence and any other applicable Law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any Proceeding other than a Proceeding to enforce its terms. Neither this Agreement nor any of the other Restructuring Documents shall be construed as or be deemed to be evidence of an admission or concession on the part of any Restructuring Support Party of any claim, fault, liability or damages whatsoever. Each of the Restructuring Support Parties denies any and all wrongdoing or liability of any kind and does not concede any infirmity in the claims or defenses which it has asserted or could assert.

23.Representation by Counsel.

Each Restructuring Support Party acknowledges that it has been represented by, or has been provided a reasonable period of time to obtain access to and advice by, counsel with respect to this Agreement and the Restructuring. Accordingly, any rule of law or any legal decision that would provide any Restructuring Support Party with a defense to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement against such Restructuring Support Party based upon lack of legal counsel shall have no application and is expressly waived.

24.Relationship Among Restructuring Support Parties.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the duties and obligations of the Consenting Lenders under this Agreement shall be several, and not joint and several. It is understood and agreed that no Consenting Lender owes any duty of trust or confidence of any kind or form to any other Restructuring Support Party, and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, there are no commitments among or between them. In this regard, it is understood and agreed that any Consenting Lender may trade in the Claims and Interests of any Debtor without the consent of any other Restructuring Support Party, subject to applicable securities laws and the terms of this Agreement;provided,however, that no Consenting Lender shall have any responsibility for any such trading to any other entity by virtue of this Agreement. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Restructuring Support Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement. No Consenting Lender shall, as a result of its entering into and performing its obligations under this Agreement, be deemed to be part of a “group” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) with any other Restructuring Support Party. For the avoidance of doubt, no action taken by a Consenting Lender pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to constitute or to create a presumption by any of the Restructuring Support Parties that the Consenting Lenders are in any way acting in concert or as such a “group.”

31

Execution Version

25.Disclosure; Publicity.

The Debtors shall submit drafts to Stroock, as counsel to the Initial Consenting Lenders, of any press releases and public documents 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, 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;provided, that if the Requisite Consenting Lenders do not object to the form of such press release or public document or do not otherwise respond to such request for approval (including through counsel) within the two (2) Business Day period, the Requisite Consenting Lenders shall be deemed to have consented to the form of such press release or public document for purposes of thisSection 25. Except as required by Law, no Restructuring Support Party or its advisors shall (a) use the name of any Consenting Lender in any public manner (including in any press release) with respect to this Agreement, the Restructuring or any of the Restructuring Documents or (b) disclose to any Person (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any other Consenting Lender), other than advisors to the Debtors, the principal amount or percentage of any Claims and Interests held by any Consenting Lender, without such Consenting Lender’s prior written consent;provided,however, that (i) if such disclosure is required by Law, the disclosing Restructuring Support Party shall afford the relevant Consenting Lender 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 Claims and Interests held by the Consenting Lenders. Notwithstanding the provisions in thisSection 25, (x) any Restructuring Support Party may disclose the identities of the Restructuring Support Parties in any action to enforce this Agreement or in any action for damages as a result of any breaches hereof, and (y) any Restructuring Support Party may disclose, to the extent expressly consented to in writing by a Consenting Lender, such Consenting Lender’s identity and individual holdings.

26.Consideration.

Each Restructuring Support Party hereby acknowledges that no consideration, other than that specifically described herein, shall be due or paid to any Restructuring Support Party for its agreement to vote to accept the Plan (subsequent to proper disclosure and solicitation) or to otherwise support and take actions to effectuate the Restructuring in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, other than each of the Restructuring Support Parties’ representations, warranties, and agreements with respect to their commitments hereunder regarding the consummation of the Restructuring (including the confirmation and consummation of the Plan).

If at any time from the date hereof until the effectiveness of the DIP Loan Documents, any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect if the Information or Projections were then being furnished, and such representations and warranties were then being made, at such time, then the Debtors will promptly supplement, or cause to be promptly supplemented, the Information and the Projections so that such representations and warranties contained in this paragraph will be correct at such time. In issuing this DIP Commitment Letter and in arranging and providing the DIP Facility, the DIP Agent, the DIP Arranger and the DIP Commitment Parties will be entitled to use, and to rely on the accuracy of, the Information and Projections furnished to them by or on behalf of the Debtors and their respective Related Persons without responsibility for independent verification thereof.
