WHEREAS, the Debtors, the Backstop Parties and certain other Persons have entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement, dated as of August 15, 2020 (as amended, supplemented, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, together with any schedules, exhibits and annexes thereto, the “RSA”), which provides for the restructuring of the Debtors’ capital structure and financial obligations pursuant to a pre-packaged plan of reorganization attached to the RSA as Exhibit B thereto (as it may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms of the RSA, the “Plan”), to be filed in jointly administered voluntary reorganization cases of the Debtors (the “Chapter 11 Cases”) under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101–1532 (as amended, the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to (and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in) the Plan, the Debtors will conduct a rights offering, on the terms set forth in the Plan, the Rights Offering Procedures and this Agreement (the “Rights Offering”), by distributing to each Eligible Holder (as defined in the Rights Offering Procedures) as of the applicable record date, non-certificated Subscription Rights that entitle such Eligible Holders who timely exercise Subscription Rights, fund the applicable purchase price and do not “opt out” of being a Releasing Party (as defined in the Plan) to purchase Rights Offering Securities on the terms and conditions set forth in the Rights Offering Procedures;

WHEREAS, in order to facilitate the Rights Offering, pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth herein, and in reliance on the representations and warranties set forth herein, each of the Backstop Parties, severally and not jointly, has agreed to provide the Company with the right to require such Backstop Party to purchase, and upon exercise of such right by the Company, each Backstop Party has agreed to purchase from the Company, on the Effective Date, such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment Percentage of the aggregate amount of Rights Offering Securities that, as of the Subscription Instruction and Payment Deadline, have not been duly subscribed for by Rights Offering Participants in accordance with the Rights Offering Procedures (the “Unsubscribed Securities”);

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the Debtors and the Backstop Parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Rights Offering and Backstop Commitments.

1.1. The Rights Offering.

(a) The Company shall conduct and consummate the Rights Offering in accordance with Rights Offering Procedures, and otherwise on the applicable terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the Plan. Each Backstop Party hereby covenants and agrees with each of the other Backstop Parties that it shall not exercise any of the Subscription Rights issued to it in the Rights Offering, except as otherwise mutually agreed by the Backstop Parties in which event each Backstop Party shall have until the Deposit Deadline to fund, into the Deposit Account, the Aggregate Purchase Price for all Rights Offering Securities that such Backstop Party subscribes for in the Rights Offering, and such funding shall be deemed timely notwithstanding any earlier funding deadline as the Rights Offering Procedures may require with respect to other Rights Offering Participants.

(b) The Company hereby agrees and undertakes to deliver to each of the Backstop Parties, by e-mail, a certification by an executive officer of the Company (the “Backstop Certificate”) indicating (i) if there are Unsubscribed Securities, a true and accurate calculation of the total principal amount thereof and wire instructions for the Deposit Account, or (ii) if there are no Unsubscribed Securities, the fact that there are no Unsubscribed Securities (it being understood that the Backstop Commitments shall terminate at the Closing). The Backstop Certificate shall be delivered by the Company to each of the Backstop Parties on or before the date that is three (3) Business Days after the Subscription Instruction and Payment Deadline, which shall be, in any event, at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the Effective Date.

1.2. Backstop Commitments.

(a) On the terms, subject to the conditions (including the entry of the Backstop Order and the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court and such orders becoming Final Orders) and limitations, and in reliance on the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement, each of the Backstop Parties hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to give the Company the right to require such Backstop Party, and upon exercise of such right by the Company, each Backstop Party has agreed, to purchase from the Company, on the Effective Date, at a purchase price equal to the total principal amount of such Unsubscribed Securities, its Backstop Commitment Percentage of all Unsubscribed Securities (with respect to each Backstop Party, the Unsubscribed Securities that it is required to purchase pursuant to this Section 1.2(a) are referred to herein as its “Backstop Commitment Securities”). The Backstop Commitments of the Backstop Parties are several, not joint, obligations of the Backstop Parties, such that no Backstop Party shall be liable or otherwise responsible for the Backstop Commitment of any other Backstop Party.

(b) On or prior to the date that is five (5) Business Days after the Company’s delivery of the Backstop Certificate to such Backstop Party or (if applicable) such later date as is

2

specified in the Backstop Notice (the “Deposit Deadline”), each Backstop Party shall, severally and not jointly, deposit into a segregated account of the Rights Offering Subscription Agent identified in the Backstop Certificate (the “Deposit Account”), by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the total principal amount of such Backstop Party’s Backstop Commitment Securities (such amount, such Backstop Party’s “Aggregate Purchase Price”). If the Closing has not occurred on or prior to the seventh (7^th) Business Day following the Deposit Deadline (or, if a Funding Default shall have occurred, the seventh (7^th) Business Day following the date on which the procedure described in Section 1.2(c) hereof shall have been completed), any funds deposited in the Deposit Account by a Backstop Party shall be returned by the Debtors to an account designated by such Backstop Party upon written request of such Backstop Party, subject to such Backstop Party’s obligation to re-deposit such funds at least one Business Day prior to any new anticipated Effective Date (provided that the Company provides at least two (2) Business Days written notice of such new anticipated Effective Date).

(c) In the event that a Backstop Party defaults (a “Funding Default”) on its obligation to deposit the Aggregate Purchase Price for its Backstop Commitment Securities in the Deposit Account by the Deposit Deadline pursuant to Section 1.2(b) hereof (each such Backstop Party, a “Defaulting Backstop Party”), then each applicable Non-Defaulting Backstop Party shall have the right (the “Default Purchase Right”), but not the obligation, to elect to commit to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price equal to the total principal amount thereof, up to such Non-Defaulting Backstop Party’s Adjusted Commitment Percentage of all applicable Backstop Commitment Securities required to be purchased by such Defaulting Backstop Party pursuant to Section 1.2(a) but which such Defaulting Backstop Party did not make the required deposit in accordance with Section 1.2(b). Within two (2) Business Days after a Funding Default, the Company shall send a written notice to each applicable Non-Defaulting Backstop Party specifying (i) the aggregate purchase price (which shall be equal to the total principal amount of such Backstop Commitment Securities) for all applicable Backstop Commitment Securities subject to such Funding Default (collectively, the “Default Securities”) and (ii) the maximum principal amount of Default Securities that such Non-Defaulting Backstop Party may elect to commit to purchase (determined in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 1.2(c)). Each applicable Non-Defaulting Backstop Party will have two (2) Business Days after receipt of such notice to elect to exercise its Default Purchase Right by notifying the Company in writing of its election and specifying the total purchase price for Default Securities that it is committing to purchase (up to the maximum principal amount of Default Securities that such Non-Defaulting Backstop Party is permitted to commit to purchase pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 1.2(c)). If any Non-Defaulting Backstop Party elects to commit to purchase less than the maximum principal amount of Default Securities that such Non-Defaulting Backstop Party is permitted to commit to purchase pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 1.2(c) or if any Non-Defaulting Backstop Party does not elect to commit to purchase any Default Securities within the two-Business Day period referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, then the Default Securities that such Non-Defaulting Backstop Party does not commit to purchase may be purchased by applicable Non-Defaulting Backstop Parties that exercised in full their respective Default Purchase Rights (the right to make such purchase to be made on a pro rata basis based on the respective applicable Adjusted Commitment Percentages of such Non-Defaulting Backstop Parties, and the process for providing commitments for such purchases to be made by utilizing substantially the same procedures set forth in the two immediately preceding sentences).

3

(d) If Non-Defaulting Backstop Parties elect to commit to purchase Default Securities in accordance with Section 1.2(c), each Non-Defaulting Backstop Party that has elected to commit to purchase Default Securities hereby agrees, severally and not jointly, to deposit into the Deposit Account, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, an amount equal to the purchase price for such Default Securities no later than two (2) Business Days after the date of such election.

1.3. Put Option Premium.

(a) The Debtors and the Backstop Parties hereby acknowledge that, in consideration for the Debtors’ right to require the Backstop Parties to purchase the Backstop Commitment Securities pursuant to their Backstop Commitments on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Debtors shall be required to pay to the Non-Defaulting Backstop Parties, as a premium (the “Put Option Premium”), an aggregate number of shares of New Common Stock equal to 10% of the Total New Equity Interests (the “Put Option Securities”), which Put Option Premium shall be paid to the Non-Defaulting Backstop Parties on a pro rata basis (in each case rounded up or down to the nearest whole share of New Common Stock) based upon their respective Backstop Commitment Percentages. The Debtors shall pay the Put Option Premium on the Effective Date and such payment shall be satisfied by issuing to the Non-Defaulting Backstop Parties (or their designees) a number of Put Option Securities (rounded up or down to the nearest whole share of New Common Stock) equal to its Commitment Percentage of the aggregate number of Put Option Securities; provided, however, that if the Closing does not occur and this Agreement is terminated, the Debtors shall be required to pay the Put Option Premium to the Non-Defaulting Backstop Parties in cash (in lieu of issuing Put Option Securities), in an amount equal to the Put Option Premium Cash Amount, to the extent provided in Section 8(e). The Debtors’ obligation to pay the Put Option Premium Cash Amount, if applicable, shall survive termination of this Agreement, other than termination pursuant to Section 8(c). No Defaulting Backstop Party shall be entitled to receive any portion of the Put Option Premium, and any Non-Defaulting Backstop Party that purchases Default Securities constituting Backstop Commitment Securities of a Defaulting Backstop Party shall be entitled to receive an additional portion of the Put Option Premium equal to the product of (x) the number of the Put Option Securities that would be payable to such Defaulting Backstop Party if such Defaulting Backstop Party had not committed a Funding Default and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of Default Securities constituting Backstop Commitment Securities of such Defaulting Backstop Party which such Non-Defaulting Backstop Party purchases and the denominator of which is the total amount of Default Securities constituting Backstop Commitment Securities of such Defaulting Backstop Party.

(b) The Debtors hereby further acknowledge and agree that the Put Option Premium (i) shall be fully earned as of the Execution Date, (ii) shall not be refundable under any circumstance or creditable against any other amount paid or to be paid in connection with this Agreement or any of the Contemplated Transactions or otherwise, (iii) shall be paid without setoff or recoupment and shall not be subject to defense or offset on account of any claim, defense or counterclaim, and (iv) shall be paid free and clear of any issue, stamp, transfer or similar Taxes. The parties hereto further acknowledge and agree that (i) the Put Option Premium is intended to be treated for U.S. federal income Tax purposes as a premium (and, as applicable, an adjustment to tax basis or adjustment to issue price) for an option to put the Backstop Commitment Securities

4

of the Backstop Parties to the Backstop Parties, and (ii) the parties shall not take any position or action inconsistent with such treatment and/or characterization (including, for the avoidance of doubt, with respect to any withholding or deduction for Taxes), except as otherwise required by a final “determination” (within the meaning of Section 1313(a) of the Code).

2. Closing; Certain Expenses and Payments.

At the Closing, the Debtors shall deliver to each Backstop Party (i) a statement from the Company or the New Convertible Notes Indenture Trustee reflecting the total principal amount of Backstop Commitment Securities and (if applicable) Default Securities purchased by such Backstop Party, (ii) a statement from the Company or the transfer agent for the New Common Stock reflecting the book-entry position of the Put Option Securities issued to such Backstop Party, and (iii) such certificates, counterparts to agreements, documents or instruments required to be delivered by such Debtor to such Backstop Party pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof.

Any such designation shall be made by a Backstop Party by delivering written notice thereof to the Company no less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Effective Date, which notice shall (i) specify the name of each such Affiliate, (ii) specify the amount of Backstop Securities that should be issued or delivered to each such Affiliate, and (iii) contain a certification from each such Affiliate of the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by each Backstop Party in Section 4 hereof as applied to such Affiliate.

The Debtors have maintained all patents, trademarks, copyrights and all applications for any Debtor IP Rights owned by any Debtor in full force and effect and used commercially reasonable efforts to protect and maintain the secrecy and value of all trade secrets, except in such instances as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Debtors, taken as a whole. To the Knowledge of the Debtors, no third party has infringed, misappropriated or otherwise violated any Debtor IP Rights or is infringing, misappropriating or otherwise violating any Debtor IP Rights, except in such instances as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Debtors, taken as a whole.

Each Debtor has established, implemented and tested backup and disaster recovery policies, procedures and systems consistent with generally accepted standards for the industry in which the Debtors operate and sufficient to maintain the businesses and operations of the Debtors, except where the failure to establish, implement or test would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Debtors, taken as a whole.

aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Debtors, taken as a whole. There has not been any material malfunction with respect to any of the Debtor IT Systems that has caused material disruption to any Debtor’s businesses or operations in the past three (3) years that has not been remedied or replaced, except in such instance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Debtors, taken as a whole.

The Debtors have implemented and maintained organizational, physical, administrative and technical measures consistent with generally accepted standards for the industry in which the Debtors operate to protect the operation, confidentiality, integrity, and security of all confidential business information, personal data and Debtor IT Systems against unauthorized access, acquisition, interruption, alteration, modification, or use, except in such instance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Debtors, taken as a whole. To the Knowledge of the Debtors, the respective businesses and operations of the Debtors have not, in the past three (3) years, experienced any loss, damage, or unauthorized access, disclosure, use or breach of security of any confidential business information, personal data or IT Systems in any Debtor’s possession, custody or control, or otherwise held or processed on its behalf, except in such instance would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Debtors, taken as a whole.

The operation of the businesses of the Debtors has at all times been in accordance with the Licenses and Permits, and no event has occurred which permits (nor has an event occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both would permit) the revocation or termination of any of the Licenses and Permits or which might result in any other impairment of the rights of any of the Debtors therein or thereunder, except to the extent that any such non-compliance, revocation or termination would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Debtors, taken as a whole. No Debtor has received notice of any revocation, suspension or modification of any of the Licenses and Permits, or has any reason to believe that any of the Licenses and Permits will be revoked or suspended, or will not be renewed in the ordinary course, or that any such renewal will be materially impeded, delayed, hindered, conditioned or burdensome to obtain, except to the extent that any of the foregoing would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Debtors, taken as a whole.

Each Benefit Plan has been administered and maintained in compliance in all material respects with its terms and the requirements of any applicable Laws, including ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Each Benefit Plan intended to be “qualified” within the meaning of Section 401(a) of the Code is so qualified, has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS to the effect that the Benefit Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a) of the Code, and, to the Knowledge of the Debtors, no circumstances exist that are likely to result in the loss of the qualification of any such Benefit Plan. No Benefit Plan is currently subject to any claims, investigations, or audits (and to the Knowledge of the Debtors none are contemplated or threatened) by any Governmental Body (other than routine claims for benefits) which, individually or in the aggregate, if determined or resolved adversely in accordance with the plaintiff’s demands, could reasonably be expected to be adverse in any material respect to the Debtors, taken as a whole.

(d) Except as set forth in Section 3.12(d) of the Debtor Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (either alone or in combination with another event) (i) result in any payment becoming due, or increase the amount of any compensation due, to any current or former officer, director, employee, leased employee, consultant or agent (or their respective beneficiaries) of any Debtor; (ii) increase any benefits otherwise payable under any Benefit Plan; (iii) result in

13

the acceleration of the time of payment or vesting of any such compensation or benefits; or (iv) result in the payment of any amount that could, individually or in combination with any other such payment, constitute an “excess parachute payment,” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. No current or former officer, director, employee, leased employee, consultant or agent (or their respective beneficiaries) of any Debtor has or will obtain a right to receive a gross up payment from any Debtor with respect to any excise or additional income taxes that may be imposed upon such individual pursuant to Section 409A of the of the Code, Section 4999 of the Code or otherwise.

(e) Neither the Debtors nor any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, any Benefit Plan, any trust created thereunder, nor, to the Knowledge of the Debtors, any trustee, fiduciary or administrator thereof has engaged in a transaction in connection with which any of the Debtors or any of their respective ERISA Affiliates, any Benefit Plan, any such trust, or any trustee, fiduciary or administrator thereof, or any party dealing with any Benefit Plan or any such trust could be subject to a civil penalty or Tax under ERISA or the Code, including a civil penalty assessed pursuant to Section 409 or Section 502(i) of ERISA or a Tax imposed pursuant to Section 4975 or Section 4976 of the Code, except any of the foregoing that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Debtors, taken as a whole.

(f) There is no Benefit Plan of any Debtor, or any of ERISA Affiliate or predecessor of any Debtor, subject to the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States for which liability remains outstanding or for which any Debtor could reasonably be expected to have any liability.

(b) The Debtors have incurred no expenses, and have made no commitments to make expenditures in excess of $250,000 in connection with the ownership or operation of the Oil and Gas Properties following the Execution Date, other than routine capital and operating expenditures incurred in the normal operation of existing ▇▇▇▇▇ on the Oil and Gas Properties.

(b) This Agreement (including the Backstop Commitments contemplated hereby) may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby may be abandoned at any time by the Backstop Parties effective immediately upon the giving by the Required Backstop Parties of written notice of termination to the Debtors:

(i) if (A) any of the Debtors shall have breached or failed to perform any of their respective covenants or other obligations contained in this Agreement (including covenants incorporated into this Agreement by reference), and (B) any such breach or failure to perform (x) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.1 and (y) is not curable by the Outside Date, or, if curable or able to be performed by the Outside Date, is not cured by the Outside Date;

33

(ii) if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 hereof become incapable of fulfillment prior to the Outside Date;

(iii) if any of the Debtors (including by or through any of their Representatives) (A) enters into, publicly announces its intention to enter into (including by means of any filings made with any Governmental Body), or announces to any of the Backstop Parties or holders of Company Claims/Interests its intention to enter into, an agreement (including any agreement in principle, letter of intent, memorandum of understanding or definitive agreement), whether binding or non-binding, or whether subject to terms and conditions, with respect to any Alternative Transaction, (B) files any pleading or document with the Bankruptcy Court agreeing to, evidencing its intention to support, or otherwise supports, any Alternative Transaction or (C) consummates any Alternative Transaction;

(c) This Agreement (including the Backstop Commitments contemplated hereby) may be terminated at any time by the Debtors effective immediately upon the Debtors’ giving of written notice of termination to the Backstop Parties if (i) any of the Backstop Parties shall have breached or failed to perform any of their respective covenants or other obligations contained in this Agreement, or any representation or warranty of any of the Backstop Parties in this Agreement shall have become untrue (determined as if the Backstop Parties made their respective representations and warranties at all times on and after the Execution Date and prior to the date this Agreement is terminated), and (ii) any such breach or failure to perform (A) would result in a failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2 and (B) is not curable by the Outside Date, or, if curable or able to be performed by the Outside Date, is not cured by the Outside Date; provided, however, that if a Funding Default shall occur, the Debtors shall not be permitted to terminate this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to this Section 8(c) unless Non-Defaulting Backstop Parties do not elect to commit to purchase all of the Default Securities pursuant to the process set forth in Section 1.2(c) or otherwise.

34

(d) This Agreement may be terminated by mutual written agreement among each of the Debtors party hereto and the Required Backstop Parties.

(e) To the extent this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with Section 8, within ten (10) Business Days following the termination of this Agreement, the Debtors shall pay the Put Option Premium in cash (in lieu of any Put Option Securities), in an aggregate amount equal to the Put Option Premium Cash Amount, to the Backstop Parties on a pro rata basis (determined in accordance with the terms of Section 1.3(a) hereof, as applicable) by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by each Backstop Party; provided, however, that the Put Option Premium shall not be payable in the event of (i) a termination of this Agreement by the Debtors pursuant to Section 8(c) hereof, (ii) a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8(a)(ii) hereof as a result of (A) a termination of the RSA by the Debtors pursuant to clause (1) of Section 10.02(a) of the RSA or (B) a termination by the Backstop Parties pursuant to Section 10.01(i) of the RSA for failure to meet a Milestone (other than a termination thereunder for failure to meet a Milestone related to the Backstop Order, Confirmation Order and the Outside Date). The terms set forth in this Section 8(e) shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Contemplated Transactions are consummated. The obligations set forth in this Section 8(e) are in addition to, and do not limit, the Debtors’ obligations under Sections 2.2 and 9 hereof

(f) In the event of a termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8 at a time after all or any portion of the Aggregate Purchase Price for Backstop Commitment Securities has been deposited into the Deposit Account by any of the Backstop Parties and/or all or any portion of the purchase price for Default Securities that any of the Backstop Parties elects to commit to purchase, the Backstop Parties that have deposited such amounts shall be entitled to the return of all such amounts. In such a case, the Backstop Parties and the Debtors hereby agree to execute and deliver to the Rights Offering Subscription Agent, promptly after the effective date of any such termination (but in any event no later than two (2) Business Days after any such effective date), a letter instructing the Rights Offering Subscription Agent to pay to each applicable Backstop Party, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by such Backstop Party, an amount equal to the total amount that such Backstop Party previously deposited into the Deposit Account and is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 8(f).

(g) In the event of a termination of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 8, the provisions of this Agreement shall immediately become void and of no further force or effect (other than Sections 2.2, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13 hereof (and any defined terms used in any such Sections (but solely to the extent used in any such Sections)), and other than in respect of any liability of any party for any breach of this Agreement prior to such termination, which shall in each case expressly survive any such termination).

35

(h) Each Debtor hereby acknowledges and agrees and shall not dispute that the giving of notice of termination by the Required Backstop Parties pursuant to this Agreement shall not be a violation of the automatic stay of section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (and each Debtor hereby waives, to the greatest extent possible, the applicability of the automatic stay to the giving of such notice).

9. Indemnification.

(a) Whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Contemplated Transactions are consummated, the Debtors hereby agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify and hold harmless (i) each of the Backstop Parties, (ii) each of the Affiliates of each of the Backstop Parties, and (iii) each of the stockholders, equity holders, members, partners, managers, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors, consultants, agents, advisors and controlling persons of each of the Backstop Parties and each of the Affiliates of each of the Backstop Parties (each, in such capacity, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees but excluding Taxes of the Backstop Parties, except to the extent otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement), Taxes, interest, penalties, judgments and settlements, whether or not related to a third party claim, imposed on, sustained, incurred or suffered by, or asserted against, any Indemnified Party as a result of, arising out of, related to or in connection with, directly or indirectly, this Agreement, the Backstop Commitments, the Backstop Securities, the Rights Offering, any of the Definitive Documents, the Plan (or the solicitation thereof), the Chapter 11 Cases or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any of the other Contemplated Transactions, or any breach by any Debtor of any of its representations, warranties and/or covenants set forth in this Agreement, or any claim, litigation, investigation or other Proceeding relating to or arising out of any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any such Indemnified Party is a party thereto, and to pay and/or reimburse each such Indemnified Party for the reasonable and documented legal or other out-of-pocket costs and expenses as they are incurred in connection with investigating, monitoring, responding to or defending any of the foregoing (collectively, “Losses”); provided, that the foregoing indemnification will not, as to any Indemnified Party, apply to Losses that are determined by a final, non-appealable decision by the Bankruptcy Court to have resulted solely from any act by such Indemnified Party that constitutes fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. If for any reason the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to any Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Debtors shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Debtors on the one hand and such Indemnified Party on the other hand but also the relative fault of the Debtors, on the one hand, and such Indemnified Party, on the other hand, as well as any relevant equitable considerations. It is hereby agreed that the relative benefits to the Debtors on the one hand and all Indemnified Parties on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as (i) the total value received or proposed to be received by the Debtors pursuant to the sale of the maximum principal amount of Backstop Securities that the Backstop Parties may be required to purchase pursuant to this Agreement bears to (ii) the Put Option Premium. The Debtors also agree that no Indemnified Party shall have any liability based on its exclusive or contributory negligence or otherwise to the Debtors, any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Debtors, or any other Person in connection with or as a result of this Agreement, the Backstop

36

Commitments, the Backstop Securities, the Rights Offering, any of the Definitive Documents, the Plan (or the solicitation thereof), the Chapter 11 Cases or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any of the other Contemplated Transactions, except as to any Indemnified Party to the extent that any Losses incurred by the Debtors resulted solely from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a final, non-appealable decision by the Bankruptcy Court. The terms set forth in this Section 9 shall survive termination of this Agreement and shall remain in full force and effect regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Contemplated Transactions are consummated. The indemnity, contribution and reimbursement obligations of the Debtors under this Section 9 are in addition to, and do not limit, the Debtors’ obligations under Sections 2.2, and 8.

(b) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Party of notice of the commencement of any claim, litigation, investigation or other Proceeding with respect to which such Indemnified Party may be entitled to indemnification hereunder (“Actions”), such Indemnified Party will, if a claim is to be made hereunder against the Debtors in respect thereof, notify the Debtors in writing of the commencement thereof; provided, that (i) the omission to so notify the Debtors will not relieve the Debtors from any liability that they may have hereunder except to the extent (and solely to the extent) they have been actually and materially prejudiced by such failure and (ii) the omission to so notify the Debtors will not relieve the Debtors from any liability that they may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than on account of this Section 9. In case any such Actions are brought against any Indemnified Party and such Indemnified Party notifies the Debtors of the commencement thereof, if the Debtors commit in writing to fully indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Party with respect to such Actions, without regard to whether the Effective Date occurs, the Debtors will be entitled to participate in such Actions, and, to the extent that the Debtors elect by written notice delivered to such Indemnified Party, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, provided, that if the defendants in any such Actions include both such Indemnified Party and the Debtors and such Indemnified Party shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Debtors, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such Actions on behalf of such Indemnified Party. Following the date of receipt by an Indemnified Party of such indemnification commitment from the Debtors and notice from the Debtors of their election to assume the defense of such Actions and approval by such Indemnified Party of counsel, the Debtors shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof after such date (other than reasonable costs of investigation and monitoring) unless (w) such Indemnified Party shall have employed separate counsel in connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, (x) the Debtors shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party to represent such Indemnified Party at the Debtors’ expense within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the Actions, (y) after the Debtors assume the defense of such Actions, such Indemnified Party determines that the Debtors are failing to diligently defend against such Actions in good faith or (z) any of the Debtors shall have authorized in writing the employment of counsel for such Indemnified Party.

(c) The Debtors shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party, effect any settlement, compromise or other resolution of any pending or threatened Actions

37

in respect of which indemnity has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party unless such settlement, compromise or other resolution (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party from all liability on the claims that are the subject matter of such Actions and (ii) 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 Party.

(d) All amounts paid to an Indemnified Party under this Section 9 shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be treated for all Tax purposes as adjustments to the purchase price for the New Convertible Notes subscribed for or purchased by such Indemnified Person.

10. Survival. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made in this Agreement shall not survive the Closing except for covenants and agreements made in this Agreement that by their terms are to be satisfied or complied with after the Closing, which covenants and agreements shall survive until fully satisfied or complied with in accordance with their terms.

11. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended or modified and the compliance with any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) only if such amendment, modification or waiver is signed, in the case of an amendment or modification, by the Required Backstop Parties and the Debtors, or in the case of a waiver, by the Required Backstop Parties (if compliance by the Debtors is being waived) or by the Required Backstop Parties and the Debtors (if compliance by any of the Backstop Parties is being waived); provided, however, that (a) the Backstop Commitment Schedule may only be updated in accordance with the terms of Section 13.1 hereof, (b) any amendment or modification to this Agreement that would have the effect of changing the Backstop Commitment Percentage of any Backstop Party shall require the prior written consent of such Backstop Party, (c) any amendment or modification to the definition of “Aggregate Purchase Price” or the allocation of the Put Option Premium among the Backstop Parties as set forth in Section 1.3 shall (in any such case) require the prior written consent of each Backstop Party adversely affected thereby, and (d) any amendment, modification or waiver to this Agreement that would adversely affect any of the rights or obligations (as applicable) of any Backstop Party set forth in this Agreement in a manner that is different or disproportionate in any material respect from the effect on the comparable rights or obligations (as applicable) of the Required Backstop Parties set forth in this Agreement (other than in proportion to the amount of the Backstop Commitments held by each of the Backstop Parties) shall also require the written consent of such affected Backstop Party (it being understood that in determining whether consent of any Backstop Party is required pursuant to this clause (d), no personal circumstances of such Backstop Party shall be considered). 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, or 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 otherwise may have at Law or in equity.

38

12. Notices.

13. Miscellaneous.

13.1. Assignments. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and, solely to the extent expressly permitted

39

hereunder, permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned by any of the parties (whether by operation of Law or otherwise) without the prior written consent of the Debtors and the Required Backstop Parties. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, any Backstop Party’s rights, obligations or interests hereunder may be freely assigned, delegated or transferred, in whole or in part, by such Backstop Party to (a) any other Backstop Party, (b) any Affiliate of a Backstop Party, or (c) any other Person not referred to in clause (a) or clause (b) above so long as such Person is approved in writing by the Required Backstop Parties and the Debtors prior to such assignment, delegation or transfer (for purposes of this clause (c), the Backstop Party proposing to make such assignment, delegation or transfer, and all of its Affiliates, shall be deemed to be Defaulting Backstop Parties for purposes of determining whether the definition of “Required Backstop Parties” has been satisfied); provided, that (x) any such assignee assumes all of the obligations of the assigning Backstop Party hereunder and agrees in writing prior to such assignment to be bound by all of the terms hereof in the same manner as the assigning Backstop Party (which writing shall contain, if the assignee is not already a Backstop Party, a certification from the assignee as to the accuracy of the representations and warranties made by each Backstop Party in Section 4 hereof as applied to such assignee), (y) any assignee of a Backstop Commitment must be a Qualified Institutional Buyer, and (z) the right to purchase Rights Offering Securities are only assignable as set forth in the Rights Offering Procedures. Following any assignment described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Backstop Commitment Schedule shall be updated by the Debtors (in consultation with the assigning Backstop Party and the assignee) solely to reflect (i)(A) the name and address of the applicable assignee or assignees, and (B) the Backstop Commitment Percentage that shall apply to such assignee or assignees as specified by the assigning Backstop Party and the assignee or assignees, and (ii) any changes to the Backstop Commitment Percentage applicable to the assigning Backstop Party as specified by the assigning Backstop Party and the assignee or assignees (it being understood and agreed that updates to the Backstop Commitment Schedule shall not result in an overall change to the aggregate Backstop Commitment Percentages for all Backstop Parties). Any update to the Backstop Commitment Schedule described in the immediately preceding sentence shall not be deemed an amendment to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provisions herein, unless otherwise agreed in any instance by the Debtors and the Required Backstop Parties (for purposes of this sentence, the Backstop Party making such assignment, and all of its Affiliates, shall be deemed to be Defaulting Backstop Parties for purposes of determining whether the definition of “Required Backstop Parties” has been satisfied), no assignment of obligations by a Backstop Party to an Affiliate of such Backstop Party will relieve the assigning Backstop Party of its obligations hereunder if any such Affiliate assignee fails to perform such obligations.

13.2. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application of any such provision to any Person or circumstance, shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision or part thereof and the remaining part of such provision and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party hereto. Upon any such determination of invalidity, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

40

13.3. Entire Agreement. Except as expressly set forth herein, this Agreement and the RSA constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and replace and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

13.4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be an original, and all of which, when taken together, will constitute one agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement by facsimile or portable document format (PDF) will be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

13.5. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF EXCEPT SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

13.6. Submission to Jurisdiction.

To Eligible Holders and Nominees of Eligible Holders:

On [•], 2020, the Debtors filed the Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Chaparral Energy, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors (as may be amended, modified, or supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Plan”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, which is attached as Exhibit A to the Disclosure Statement for the Joint Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization of Chaparral Energy, Inc. and its Affiliated Debtors [Docket No. [•]] (as may be amended from time to time in accordance with its terms, the “Disclosure Statement”). Pursuant to the Plan, each Eligible Holder is eligible to participate in the Rights Offering.

Eligible Holder: Each holder of Senior Notes Claims that is an Accredited Investor, a Qualified Institutional Buyer or a Non-U.S. Person.

Each Eligible Holder on the Record Date is entitled to participate in the Rights Offering in accordance with the terms and conditions of these Rights Offering Procedures.

The Subscription Rights will be exercisable by Eligible Holders on the Record Date during the period beginning on the Subscription Commencement Date and ending on the Subscription Instruction and Payment Deadline (the “Rights Exercise Period”).

Only Eligible Holders that complete the eligibility certifications included as part of the Subscription Form may participate in the Rights Offering.

New Convertible Bonds: $35,000,000 aggregate principal amount of New Convertible Bonds.

Senior Notes Claims: Pursuant to the Plan, each holder of Senior Notes Claims on the Record Date will have the right (but not the obligation) to subscribe for its pro rata portion of the New Convertible Bonds offered in the rights offering made to holders of Senior Notes Claims on the Record Date (the “Rights Offering”) at the Purchase Price. The “Purchase Price” for the New Convertible Bonds shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the New Convertible Bonds being purchased. Only holders of Senior Notes Claims that are Eligible Holders will be permitted to acquire the New Convertible Bonds in the Rights Offering.

Eligible Holders must deliver their Beneficial Holder Subscription Forms (with accompanying IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, if applicable) to the Subscription Agent. All Beneficial Holder Subscription Forms (with accompanying IRS Form W-9 or appropriate IRS Form W-8, if applicable) and appropriate funding to the Subscription Agent must be delivered to the Subscription Agent prior to the Subscription Instruction and Payment Deadline.

No Eligible Holder shall be entitled to participate in the Rights Offering unless the aggregate Purchase Price for the New Convertible Bonds it subscribes for is received by the Subscription Agent by the Subscription Instruction and Payment Deadline.

Only Eligible Holders who do not “opt out” of being a Releasing Party may participate in the Rights Offering.

No interest is payable on any advanced funding of the Purchase Price. If the Rights Offering is terminated for any reason, the aggregate Purchase Price previously received by the Subscription Agent will be returned to Eligible Holders as provided in Section 7 hereof. No interest will be paid on any returned Purchase Price.

To participate in the Rights Offering, an Eligible Holder must complete all of the steps outlined below. If an Eligible Holder does not complete all of the steps outlined below by the Holder Questionnaire Deadline, the Subscription Instruction and Payment Deadline, or the Plan Effective Date, as applicable, such Eligible Holder shall be deemed to have forever and irrevocably relinquished and waived its right to participate in the Rights Offering.

1. Rights Offering

During the Rights Exercise Period, each Eligible Holder on the Record Date is eligible to subscribe for its pro rata portion, based on such Eligible Holder’s holding of Senior Notes Claims on the Record Date, of the New Convertible Bonds.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and these Rights Offering Procedures, each Eligible Holder during the Rights Exercise Period is entitled to subscribe for $116.666667 of New Convertible Bonds per $1,000 of Principal Amount of Senior Notes Claims held by such Eligible Holder on the Record Date. You must hold at least $9,000 principal amount of Senior Notes Claims on the Record Date to be able to exercise any Subscription Rights.

There will be no over-subscription privilege in the Rights Offering. Any New Convertible Bonds that are unsubscribed by the Eligible Holders entitled thereto will not be offered to other Eligible Holders but will be purchased by the applicable Backstop Parties in accordance with the Backstop Agreement.

Eligible Holders will be subject to restrictions under the Securities Act on their ability to resell the New Convertible Bonds and the shares into which such New Convertible Bonds are convertible, as discussed in more detail in Article IX of the Disclosure Statement, entitled “Important Securities Laws Disclosures.”

SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE RIGHTS OFFERING PROCEDURES, ALL SUBSCRIPTIONS SET FORTH IN THE APPLICABLE SUBSCRIPTION FORM(S) ARE IRREVOCABLE.

2. Rights Exercise Period

The Rights Offering will commence on the Subscription Commencement Date and will expire at the Subscription Instruction and Payment Deadline. Each Eligible Holder intending to purchase New Convertible Bonds in the Rights Offering must affirmatively elect to exercise its Subscription Rights in the manner set forth in the applicable Subscription Form by the Subscription Instruction and Payment Deadline and must pay or make arrangements with its Nominee to pay for any exercised Subscription Rights by the applicable deadline.

Unless otherwise permitted by the Company in its sole discretion, any exercise of the Subscription Rights to purchase the New Convertible Bonds by an Eligible Holder after the Subscription Instruction and Payment Deadline and any payment of the subscription price after the Subscription Instruction and Payment Deadline will not be allowed and any purported exercise (including payment) received by the Subscription Agent after applicable deadline, regardless of when the documents or payment relating to such exercise were sent, will not be honored.

The Subscription Instruction and Payment Deadline may be extended by the Company in its sole discretion and will be extended as required by law.

3. Exercise of Subscription Rights

(a) In order to validly exercise its Subscription Rights, each Eligible Holder must return a duly completed and executed Beneficial Holder Subscription Form(s) and make any required payments to the Subscription Agent on or before the Subscription Instruction and Payment Deadline.

(b) In the event that the funds received by the Subscription Agent do not correspond to the Aggregate Purchase Price payable for the New Convertible Bonds elected to be purchased by such Eligible Holder, the number of the New Convertible Bonds deemed to be purchased by such Eligible Holder will be the lesser of (a) the number of the New Convertible Bonds elected to be purchased by such Eligible Holder, and (b) a number of the New Convertible Bonds determined by dividing the amount of the funds received by the Purchase Price, in each case up to such Eligible Holder’s pro rata portion of the applicable New Convertible Bonds.

(c) The cash paid to the Subscription Agent in accordance with these Rights Offering Procedures will be deposited and held by the Subscription Agent in a segregated account until released to the Debtors in connection with the settlement of the Rights Offering on the Plan Effective Date. The Subscription Agent may not use such cash for any other purpose prior to the Plan Effective Date and may not encumber or permit such cash to be encumbered with any lien or similar encumbrance. The cash held by the Subscription Agent hereunder shall not be deemed part of the Debtors’ bankruptcy estates.

4. Transfer Restriction; Revocation

5. Termination/Return of Payment

Unless the Plan Effective Date has occurred, the Rights Offering will be deemed automatically terminated without any action of any party upon the earlier of (i) termination of the Backstop Agreement in accordance with its terms, (ii) the Outside Date, subject to the extension of such Outside Date by the Requisite Backstop Parties, (iii) termination of the Restructuring Support Agreement in accordance with its terms and (iv) the revocation or withdrawal of the Plan by the Debtors. In the event the Rights Offering is terminated, any payments received pursuant to these Rights Offering Procedures will be returned, without interest, to the applicable Eligible Holder as soon as reasonably practicable.

6. Settlement of the Rights Offering and Distribution of the New Convertible Bonds

The settlement of the Rights Offering is conditioned on confirmation of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court, compliance by the Debtors with these Rights Offering Procedures, and the substantially simultaneous occurrence of the Plan Effective Date. The Debtors intend that the New Convertible Bonds will be issued directly to the Eligible Holders in book-entry form on the books of the Indenture Trustee for the New Convertible Bonds.

7. New Convertible Bonds Rounded Down to Nearest Whole Dollar

All New Convertible Bonds will be calculated and rounded down to the nearest whole dollar. No compensation shall be paid, whether in cash or otherwise, in respect of any rounded-down amounts.

8. Validity of Exercise of Subscription Rights

All questions concerning the timeliness, viability, form and eligibility of any exercise of Subscription Rights will be determined in good faith by the Company and, if necessary, subject to a final and binding determination by the Bankruptcy Court. The Company may waive or reject any defect or irregularity in, or permit such defect or irregularity to be corrected within such time as it may determine in good faith, the purported exercise of any Subscription Rights. Subscriptions will be deemed not to have been received or accepted until all irregularities have been waived or cured within such time as the Company determines in good faith.

Before exercising any Subscription Rights, Eligible Holders should read the Disclosure Statement and the Plan for information relating to the Debtors and the risk factors to be considered.

All calculations, including, to the extent applicable, the calculation of any Eligible Holder’s New Convertible Bonds shall each be made in good faith by the Company and in accordance with these Rights Offering Procedures and the Plan, and any disputes regarding such calculations shall be subject to a final and binding determination by the Bankruptcy Court.

9. Modification of Procedures

With the prior written consent of the Requisite Backstop Parties, the Debtors reserve the right to modify these Rights Offering Procedures, or adopt additional procedures consistent with these Rights Offering Procedures, to effectuate the Rights Offering and to issue the New Convertible Bonds, provided, however, that the Debtors shall provide prompt written notice to each Eligible Holder of any material modification to these Rights Offering Procedures by posting a notice with respect to the modified or additional procedures on the Debtors’ case website, provided further that any amendments or modifications to the terms of the Rights Offering are subject to the provisions of Section 11 of the Backstop Agreement, mutatis mutandis. In so doing, and subject to the consent of the Requisite Backstop Parties, the Debtors may execute and enter into agreements and take further action that the Debtors determine in good faith is necessary and appropriate to effectuate and implement the Rights Offering and the issuance of the New Convertible Bonds.

The Debtors reserve the right to request additional information from any participant in the Rights Offering to confirm that such participant is an Eligible Holder.

10. Inquiries and Transmittal of Documents; Subscription Agent

The Rights Offering Instructions for Eligible Holders attached hereto should be carefully read and strictly followed by the Eligible Holders.

Questions relating to the Rights Offering should be directed to the Subscription Agent via email to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇@▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇ (with a reference to “Chaparral Energy” in the subject line) or at telephone number shown in your Subscription Form. Please note that the Subscription Agent is only able to respond to procedural questions regarding the Rights Offering, and cannot provide any information beyond that included in these Rights Offering Procedures and the Beneficial Holder Subscription Forms.

The risk of non-delivery of any questionnaires, instructions, documents, and payments to any Nominee or to the Subscription Agent is on the Eligible Holder electing to exercise its Subscription Rights and not the Debtors, the Subscription Agent, or the Backstop Parties.

11. Risk Factors

Future sales of New Common Stock or equity-linked securities in the public market could lower the market price for the New Common Stock and adversely impact the trading price of the New Convertible Bonds.

In the future, the Company may sell additional shares of New Common Stock or equity-linked securities to raise capital. In addition, a substantial number of shares of New Common Stock is reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options and upon conversion of the

New Convertible Bonds. The Company cannot predict the size of future issuances or the effect, if any, that they may have on the market price for the New Common Stock. The issuance and sale of substantial amounts of New Common Stock or equity-linked securities, or the perception that such issuances and sales may occur, could adversely affect the value of the New Convertible Bonds and the market price of the underlying New Common Stock and impair the Company’s ability to raise capital through the sale of additional equity or equity-linked securities.

Holders of New Convertible Bonds will not be entitled to any rights with respect to the New Common Stock, but they will be subject to all changes made with respect to the New Common Stock.

Even though the aggregate amount of New Common Stock underlying the New Convertible Bonds represents a substantial percentage of the New Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis, holders of New Convertible Bonds will not be entitled to any rights with respect to the New Common Stock (including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to receive any dividends or other distributions on the New Common Stock) prior to the conversion date with respect to any New Convertible Bonds they surrender for conversion. However, holders of New Convertible Bonds will be subject to all changes affecting the New Common Stock. For example, if an amendment is proposed to the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws requiring stockholder approval and the record date for determining the stockholders of record entitled to vote on the amendment occurs prior to the conversion date with respect to any New Convertible Bonds surrendered for conversion, then the holder surrendering such New Convertible Bonds will not be entitled to vote on the amendment, although such holder will nevertheless be subject to any changes affecting the New Common Stock.

Holders of a majority of outstanding New Convertible Bonds can force the conversion of all New Convertible Bonds into New Common Stock.

Holders of the New Convertible Bonds have the option to convert all or part of their New Convertible Bonds into New Common Stock at any time and from time to time. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all outstanding New Convertible Bonds will automatically convert into New Common Stock at the election of the holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the New Convertible Bonds. Any such election by the majority holders may be done at a time when you do not wish to convert your New Convertible Bonds into New Common Stock and, generally, against your interests.

[The Interest Make-Whole Premium for New Convertible Bonds payable pursuant to an acceleration or upon a Change of Control Offer may not adequately compensate you for any lost value of your New Convertible Bonds as a result of such transaction.

If the New Convertible Bonds become payable pursuant to acceleration or a Change of Control Offer, we will, under certain circumstances, pay an Interest Make-Whole Premium in connection with such payment. The payment will be determined based on the amount of interest that would have been payable on the New Convertible Bonds from the last date on which interest was paid prior to such acceleration or payment upon a Change of Control Offer. Any such Interest Make-Whole Premium may not adequately compensate you for any lost value of your New Convertible Bonds as a result of such acceleration or repurchase.

The Company’s obligation to pay the Interest Make-Whole Premium could be considered a penalty, in which case the enforceability thereof would be subject to general principles of reasonableness and equitable remedies.]

The conversion rate of the New Convertible Bonds may not be adjusted for all dilutive events.

The conversion rate of the New Convertible Bonds initially represents 50% of the total shares of New Common Stock as of the Effective Date on a fully-diluted basis after giving effect to conversions of the New Convertible Bonds (but subject to dilution by the Management Incentive Plan). The conversion rate is subject to adjustment for certain events, including, but not limited to, the issuance of certain stock dividends on the New Common Stock, the issuance of certain rights or warrants, subdivisions, combinations, distributions of capital stock, indebtedness, or assets, cash dividends and certain issuer tender or exchange offers. However, the conversion rate will not be adjusted for other events, such as a third-party tender or exchange offer or an issuance of New Common Stock for cash, that may adversely affect the value of the New Convertible Bonds or the New Common Stock. An event that adversely affects the value of the notes may occur, and that event may not result in an adjustment to the conversion rate.

Some significant restructuring transactions may not constitute a Change of Control, in which case the Company would not be obligated to offer to repurchase the New Convertible Bonds.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, you have the right to require the Company to repurchase your New Convertible Bonds. However, the Change of Control provisions will not afford protection to holders of New Convertible Bonds in the event of other transactions that could adversely affect the New Convertible Bonds. For example, transactions such as leveraged recapitalizations, refinancings, restructurings, or acquisitions initiated by the Company may not constitute a Change of Control requiring the Company to repurchase the New Convertible Bonds. In the event of any such transaction, the holders would not have the right to require the Company to repurchase the New Convertible Bonds, even though each of these transactions could increase the amount of the Company’s indebtedness, or otherwise adversely affect the Company’s capital structure or any credit ratings, thereby adversely affecting the holders of New Convertible Bonds.
