NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, and the representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Company and the Investors intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

1. The Rights Offering. The Rights Offering will be conducted in accordance with the rights offering procedures attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Rights Offering Procedures”) and as follows:

(a) Rights Offering. Subject to the terms and conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement, including entry of the Rights Offering Order and PSA Approval Order (in each case, as defined in the Plan Support Agreement), (i) the Company hereby undertakes to offer the Rights Offering Notes for subscription by the Offerees pursuant to the Plan as set forth in this Agreement and (ii) in connection with the Rights Offering and the Backstop Commitment, (x) the Company shall exercise its put right to issue and sell to such Investors on the Closing Date (as defined below) and (y) each Investor hereby agrees, on a several and neither joint nor joint and several basis, in such Investor’s capacity as a beneficial holder of the Secured Notes Claims and/or Unsecured Notes Claims, as applicable, to fully exercise all Rights that are issued to such Investor as part of the Rights Offering (provided that the Investors shall not be required to fund the Purchase Price in respect of the Rights Offering Notes into the Rights Offering Escrow Account prior to the Backstop Funding Date (as defined below)) and purchase, and the Company agrees to issue and sell to such Investor and shall issue and sell to such Investor, on the Closing Date (as defined below) all of such Investor’s Rights Offering Notes as so required by the Company at the Purchase Price.

(b) Exercise of Rights. In connection with the Plan, the Company shall issue Rights to subscribe for the Rights Offering Notes. Each Offeree as of a record date to be reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Requisite Investors (as defined below) will receive (i) a Secured Notes Right to purchase, at the Purchase Price, up to its pro rata share (measured as the principal amount of Secured Notes Claims held by such Offeree as compared to the aggregate amount of Secured Notes Claims) of the Rights Offerings Notes offered to the Secured Notes Claimholders and (ii) an Unsecured Right to purchase, at the Purchase Price, up to its pro rata share (measured as the principal amount of Unsecured Notes Claims held by such Offeree as compared to the aggregate amount of Unsecured Notes Claims) of the Rights Offering Notes offered to the Unsecured Claimholders. The ballot forms (the “Ballots”) distributed in connection with the solicitation of acceptances of the Plan shall provide a place, or shall be accompanied by a subscription form, whereby each Offeree may exercise its Right in whole or in part. The Rights may be exercised during a period (the “Rights Exercise Period”) specified in the Plan and the Rights Offering Procedures, which period will commence on the date the Ballots are distributed and will end at the Rights Expiration Time. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Rights Expiration Time” means 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the voting deadline under the Plan, or such other date as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Debtors and the Requisite Investors, specified by the Company in a notice provided to the Investors before 9:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day before the then-effective Rights Expiration Time. For purposes of this Agreement, “Business Day” means any day of the year on which national banking institutions in New York City are open to the public for conducting business and are not required or authorized to close. The Plan shall provide that in order to exercise a Right, each (x) Offeree shall, prior to the Rights Expiration Time, return a duly executed Ballot (or subscription form), which will include, among other things, an “accredited investor” certification and a provision that such Offeree shall vote any and all of its Secured Notes Claims and/or Unsecured Notes Claims it holds or has the authority to vote against the Debtors in favor of the Plan and shall not object to or vote to reject or impede the Plan, support directly or indirectly such objection or impediment, or otherwise take any actions or commence any proceedings to oppose or seek any modification of the Plan, to the subscription agent for the Rights Offering selected by the Company (the “Subscription Agent”) and (y) Offeree (other than the Investors) shall, prior to the Rights Expiration Time, pay an amount equal to the full Purchase Price for the number of Notes elected to be purchased by such Offeree by wire transfer of immediately available funds prior to the Rights Expiration Time to an escrow account with an escrow agent satisfactory to the Requisite Investors and the Company pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Investors and the Company established for the Rights Offering pursuant to the Rights Offering Procedures (the “Rights Offering Escrow Account”).

(c) Rights Offering Participants. On the Closing Date, the Company will issue the Rights Offering Notes to the Offerees with respect to which Rights were validly exercised by such Offerees in accordance with the Rights Offering Procedures and this Agreement (the “Rights Offering Participants”). The Rights Offering Notes shall be issued in minimum denominations of $1.00 and multiples thereof with any fractions rounded down.

(d) Waiver of Rights Offering Participation. If the Subscription Agent for any reason does not receive from an Offeree (other than the Investors) both a timely and duly completed Ballot (or subscription form, if applicable), and timely payment deposited in the Rights Offering Escrow Account for the Rights Offering Notes being purchased by such Offeree, the Plan shall provide that, unless otherwise approved by the Company and the Requisite Investors, such Offeree shall be deemed to have relinquished and waived its right to participate in the Rights Offering.

(e) Rights Offering Notices. The Company hereby agrees and undertakes to give the Investors (and their counsel and financial advisors) by email or facsimile transmission, on each Friday during the Rights Exercise Period (beginning on the first full week after the commencement of the Rights Exercise Period) and on each Business Day during the five (5) Business Days prior to the Rights Expiration Time (and any extensions thereto), a written notice setting forth a true and accurate calculation of the aggregate number of Rights known by the Company to have been exercised pursuant to the Rights Offering as of the close of business on the preceding Business Day, or alternatively, the number of Unsubscribed Notes. No later than the fifth (5^th) Business Day following the Rights Expiration Time, the Company hereby agrees and undertakes to give the Investors (and their counsel and financial advisors) by email or facsimile transmission, the certification by an authorized signatory of the Company conforming to the requirements specified herein for such certification of either (i) a true and accurate calculation of the number of Unsubscribed Notes, and the aggregate Purchase Price therefor (a “Purchase Notice”) or (ii) in the absence of any Unsubscribed Notes, the fact that there are no Unsubscribed Notes and that the Backstop Commitments are terminated (a “Satisfaction Notice”). The Company shall as promptly as practicable provide any written backup, information and documentation relating to the information contained in the Purchase Notice or Satisfaction Notice, as applicable, as any Investor may reasonably request.

2. The Backstop Commitments.

(a) In addition to its obligations under Section 1(a), on the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each of the Investors, severally and not jointly, agrees to subscribe for and purchase, on the Plan Effective Date, and the Company agrees to put to, sell and issue to such Investor, at the Purchase Price therefor, the (i) Rights Offering Notes and (ii) its Remaining Commitment Percentage of all Unsubscribed Notes as of the Rights Expiration Time, in each case up to the aggregate principal amount set forth opposite such Investor’s name under the column titled “Backstop Commitment Amount” in Exhibit A (the “Backstop Commitments” and, the aggregate amount of Unsubscribed Notes issued to all Investors in accordance with their respective Backstop Commitments pursuant to this Agreement, the “Backstop Notes”); provided, if one or more Investors default in its Backstop Commitment obligations (after having not cured such default within two (2) Business Days after the receipt of a notice from the Company of such default) (such portion of the Unsubscribed Notes which is not subscribed for and purchased by the Defaulting Investor(s) (as defined below), the “Unfulfilled Backstop Commitments”) each of the other Investors, severally and not jointly, agrees to subscribe for and purchase, at an aggregate Purchase Price of up to twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) therefor, its Investor Percentage (as adjusted upwards to eliminate the Investor Percentage of the Defaulting Investor(s)) of the Unfulfilled Backstop Commitments up to an aggregate principal amount of twenty-eight million, eight hundred eighty-eight thousand, eight hundred and eighty-nine dollars ($28,888,889) for all non-Defaulting Investors (for the avoidance of doubt, not up to twenty-eight million, eight hundred eighty-eight thousand, eight hundred and eighty-nine dollars ($28,888,889) per Investor). For the avoidance of doubt, Section 2(j) shall govern the purchase of the Unfulfilled Backstop Commitments in excess of an aggregate principal amount of twenty-eight million, eight hundred eighty-eight thousand, eight hundred and eighty-nine dollars ($28,888,889), (equivalent to an aggregate Purchase Price of up to twenty million dollars ($20,000,000) therefor). An Investor that does not fulfill its obligation to subscribe for and purchase its Investor Percentage of Unfulfilled Backstop Commitments is defined hereunder as a “Defaulting Unfulfilled Commitment Investor.” Promptly upon the expiration of the two (2) Business Day period set forth above, the Company shall send a notice to each non-Defaulting Unfulfilled Commitment Investors specifying the amount of the Unfulfilled Backstop Commitment and such non-Defaulting Unfulfilled Commitment Investor’s pro rata portion of the aggregate Purchase Price it will be required to pay. For purposes of this Agreement, (1) “Remaining Backstop Commitment” means, with respect to each Investor, such Investor’s Backstop Commitment Amount set forth on Exhibit A minus its Rights Offering Notes subscribed to pursuant to the Rights Offering in accordance with Section 1(a) and (2) “Remaining Commitment Percentage” means with respect to each Investor, such Investor’s Remaining Backstop Commitment as a percentage of the total Remaining Backstop Commitment of all Investors.

(b) Put Option Premium. On the basis of the terms and conditions herein contained, and subject to the entry of the PSA Approval Order, to compensate the Investors for the risk of their undertakings herein and as consideration for the Backstop Commitments, the Company will pay to the Investors, in the aggregate, a nonrefundable aggregate premium payable on the Plan Effective Date in additional Notes (the “Put Option Premium Notes”) in a principal amount of thirty million eight hundred fourteen thousand eight hundred and fifteen dollars ($30,814,815) (the “Put Option Premium”); provided, however, if this Agreement is terminated due to a Put Option Premium Triggering Event (as defined below), the Put Option Premium shall be fully due upon termination of this Agreement and payable in cash in the amount of twenty-one million three hundred thirty three thousand three hundred and thirty three dollars ($21,333,333) in two equal installments of (A) ten million six hundred sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six and 50/100 dollars ($10,666,666.50) in cash payable immediately upon termination of this Agreement and (B) ten million six hundred sixty-six thousand six hundred and sixty-six and 50/100 dollars (10,666,666.50) in cash payable upon the consummation of any plan of reorganization, sale or other restructuring transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, the Put Option Premium will be payable regardless of the aggregate principal amount of Backstop Notes (if any) which are issued. The Put Option Premium shall constitute an administrative expense claim (as defined in Section 101(5) of the Bankruptcy Code) against each of the Debtors which shall be pari passu with all other administrative expenses. The Put Option Premium shall be allocated among the Investors based on the Investor Percentages, which Put Option Premium shall be fully earned, non-refundable and non-avoidable by the Investors upon approval of the Backstop Commitment pursuant to the PSA Approval Order. For the avoidance of doubt, the Put Option Premium may be asserted against each Debtor; provided, if the Put Option Premium is paid in cash in accordance with this Section 2(b), the Investors shall not receive more than twenty-one million three hundred thirty three thousand three hundred and thirty three dollars ($21,333,333) in the aggregate on account of such Put Option Premium paid in cash in connection with the termination of this Agreement.

The Debtors shall have ten (10) days following their receipt of any invoices to review and object to the reasonableness of the fees and expense included in such invoice. If any such objection is not resolved within ten (10) days after such objection is interposed, a hearing with respect thereto shall be conducted at a regularly scheduled omnibus hearing in the CHC Cases, provided, that the Debtors shall pay any undisputed portion of such fees, costs and expenses on the first Thursday following fifteen (15) days after the initial presentment of such invoices. To the extent not previously paid pursuant to the Cash Collateral Orders (as defined in the Plan Support Agreement) or the PSA Approval Order, the Debtors shall pay all accrued and unpaid Transaction Expenses, including estimated amounts, through the Plan Effective Date on the Plan Effective Date in cash.

Delivery of the Rights Offering Notes and Backstop Notes will be made by the Company to the respective Investors on the Closing Date against payment of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Rights Offering Notes and Backstop Notes by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Rights Offering Escrow Account and the escrow account to which such Investor shall deliver and pay its Investor Percentage of the aggregate Purchase Price for the Backstop Notes (the “Backstop Escrow Account”) in accordance with Section 2(k), respectively. The Backstop Escrow Account shall be established with an escrow agent satisfactory to the Requisite Investors and the Company pursuant to an escrow agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Requisite Investors and the Company, which escrow agent may be the same escrow agent serving as escrow agent for the Rights Offering Escrow Account, and the Backstop Escrow Account need not be separate from the Rights Offering Escrow Account.

No later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the proposed Plan Effective Date (the “Backstop Funding Date”), each Investor shall deliver and pay its Investor Percentage of the aggregate Purchase Price for such Investor’s Backstop Notes by wire transfer in immediately available funds in U.S. dollars into the Backstop Escrow Account in satisfaction of such Investor’s Backstop Commitment. An Investor shall also pay the aggregate Purchase Price to satisfy any Unfulfilled Backstop Commitments or as a Replacing Investor into the Backstop Escrow Account and, to the extent not previously paid, pay an amount equal to such Investor’s full Purchase Price for the Rights Offering Notes to the Rights Offering Escrow Account. The funds held in the Backstop Escrow Account and the Rights Offering Escrow Account shall be released to the Investors, and each Investor shall receive from the Backstop Escrow Account and the Rights Offering Escrow Account the cash amount actually funded to the Backstop Escrow Account and the Rights Offering Escrow Account by such Investor promptly following the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(i) Each Investor shall have the right to designate by written notice to the Company no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date that some or all of its Rights Offering Notes, Backstop Notes or Put Option Premium Notes to be issued in the name of and delivered to (x) its affiliates and any investment funds or separately managed funds or accounts or sub-accounts which such Investor or its affiliates controls, manages, advises or sub-advises (a “Related Purchaser”) or (y) other Investor, which notice of designation shall (i) be addressed to the Company and signed by such Investor and the Related Purchaser or other Investor, as applicable, (ii) specify the aggregate principal amount of Rights Offering Notes, Backstop Notes or Put Option Premium Notes to be delivered to or issued in the name of each such Related Purchaser or other Investor, as applicable and (iii) if designated to a Related Purchaser, attach an executed joinder of the Related Purchaser pursuant to which the Related Purchaser will agree to be bound by this Agreement and the Plan Support Agreement. No designation pursuant to this Section 2(i)(i) shall relieve such Investor from its obligations under this Agreement (including the obligation to fund its Backstop Commitment).

(ii) Additionally, in the event that any Investor (an “Assigning Party”) sells, assigns or otherwise transfers all or any portion of its Secured Notes Claim or its Unsecured Notes Claim to (i) another Investor or a Related Purchaser of another Investor or (ii) a Related Purchaser of the Assigning Party (each such Investor or Related Purchaser, an “Ultimate Purchaser”), in each case, it shall as a condition precedent to such sale, assignment or transfer, cause such Ultimate Purchaser (other than an Investor or any other Person that is party to this Agreement and the Plan Support Agreement or executed a joinder pursuant to which such Person will agree to be bound by this Agreement and the Plan Support Agreement (a “Joinder”)) to agree in writing to be bound by this Agreement and the Plan Support Agreement, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Ultimate Purchaser agreeing to assume the Assigning Party’s pro rata share of the Backstop Commitment associated with such transfer of the Assigning Party’s Secured Notes Claim or Unsecured Notes Claim, as applicable, by executing and delivering to the parties hereto a Joinder and such Ultimate Purchaser shall be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement, including the Put Option Premium; provided, that such Assigning Party shall provide written notice to the Company and each other Investor in advance of such transfer (other than a transfer to another Investor or any other Person that has already executed a Joinder) and no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Each Investor or Ultimate Purchaser agrees that any transfer of any Secured Notes Claim or Unsecured Notes Claim that does not comply with the terms and procedures set forth in this Section 2(i)(ii) shall be deemed void ab initio. After a Right has been exercised, the underlying Secured Notes Claim or Unsecured Notes Claim will cease to be transferrable, and the holder of such Secured Notes Claim or Unsecured Notes Claim shall not transfer any such Secured Notes Claim or Unsecured Notes Claim unless such holder transfers with such Secured Notes Claim or Unsecured Notes Claim the right to receive the proceeds of the corresponding Rights in the Rights Offering, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws relating to the transfer of restricted securities.

(ii) If an Investor has materially breached and not timely cured any such breach in respect of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement or the Plan Support Agreement after receipt of a timely notice prior to the termination of this Agreement or the Plan Support Agreement, then such Investor shall not be considered to be an Indemnified Party under this Agreement.

(iii) Promptly after possession by an Indemnified Party of knowledge that a Loss exists (an “Indemnified Claim”), such Indemnified Party will, if an Indemnified Claim is to be made hereunder against the Indemnifying Party in respect thereof, promptly (and in any event within 10 Business Days) notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of the commencement thereof; provided that (a) the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have hereunder except to the extent it has been materially prejudiced by such failure and (b) the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an Indemnified Party otherwise than on account of this Section 5(i).

The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into any settlement of any Indemnified Claim Proceeding unless such settlement (i) includes an explicit and unconditional release of all Indemnified Parties from the party bringing such Indemnified Claim Proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability, or a failure to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

15. Severability.

17. Complete Agreement.

(a) This Agreement (including the Exhibits, the schedules and the other documents and instruments referred to herein, including the Plan Support Agreement) constitutes the entire agreement of the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements or understandings, whether written or oral, among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, except that the parties hereto acknowledge that any confidentiality agreements heretofore executed between the Company and any other party hereto will continue in full force and effect.

18. Governing law; Waiver of Trial by Jury.

(a) 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 conflict of laws principles thereof and, to the extent applicable, the Bankruptcy Code. Each of the parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action, suit or proceeding (each, a “Proceeding”) arising out of or directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory) brought by any party hereto or its successors or permitted assigns shall be brought and determined in the Bankruptcy Court during the pendency of the CHC Cases; provided that, if the Bankruptcy Court lacks jurisdiction, the parties hereto consent and agree than any such Proceeding shall be brought exclusively in a court of the State of New York.

(b) Each party hereto hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in any Proceeding arising out of or directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (whether based on contract, tort or any other theory).

No delay on the part of any party hereto 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 hereto 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. Except as otherwise provided in 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.

21. Specific Performance. It is understood and agreed by the parties hereto that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any party hereto and each non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (including attorneys’ fees and costs) as a remedy of any such breach, without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. The parties hereto hereby agree not to raise any objections to the availability of the equitable remedy of specific performance to prevent or restrain breaches of this Agreement by the parties hereto and to specifically enforce the terms and provisions of this Agreement to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of, or to enforce compliance with, the respective covenants and obligations of the parties hereto under this Agreement. Each party hereto hereby waives any requirement for the security or posting of any bond in connection with such remedies.

22. Other Interpretive Matters.

(a) Unless otherwise expressly provided, for purposes of this Agreement, the following rules of interpretation shall apply: (i) when calculating the period of time before which, within which or following which any act is to be done or step taken pursuant to this Agreement, the date that is the reference date in calculating such period shall be excluded and, if the last day of such period is a non-Business Day, the period in question shall end on the next succeeding Business Day; (ii) any reference in this Agreement to $ shall mean U.S. dollars; (iii) all Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein and any capitalized terms used in any Exhibit or Schedule but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement; (iv) words imparting the singular number only shall include the plural and vice versa; (v) the words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof,” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear unless the context otherwise requires; (vi) the word “including” or any variation thereof means “including, without limitation” and shall not be construed to limit any general statement that it follows to the specific or similar items or matters immediately following it; (vii) the division of this Agreement into Sections and other subdivisions and the insertion of headings are for convenience of reference only and shall not affect or be utilized in construing or interpreting this Agreement; and (viii) all references in this Agreement to any “Section” are to the corresponding Section of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliates” of any Person means any Person that directly or indirectly controls, or is under common control with, or is controlled by, such Person.

23. Further Assurances. Subject to the terms hereof, each of the parties shall take such action as may be reasonably necessary or reasonably requested by the other parties to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement, and shall refrain from taking any action that would frustrate the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

24. No Reliance. No Investor or any of its Affiliates shall have any duties or obligations to the other Investors 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 Investor or any of its Affiliates shall be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties to the other Investors, (b) no Investor or any of its Affiliates shall have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers on behalf of any other Investor, (c)(i) no Investor or any of its Affiliates shall have any duty to the other Investors to obtain, through the exercise of diligence or otherwise, to investigate, confirm, or disclose to the other Investors any information relating to the Company or any of its subsidiaries that may have been communicated to or obtained by such Investor or any of its Affiliates in any capacity and (ii) no Investor may rely, and confirms that it has not relied, on any due diligence investigation that any other Investor or any Person acting on behalf of such other Investor may have conducted with respect to the Company or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective securities and (d) each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor is acting as a placement agent, initial purchaser, underwriter, broker or finder with respect to its Notes or its Backstop Commitment.

25. No Interpretation Against Drafter. This Agreement is the product of negotiations between the parties hereto represented by counsel, and any rules of construction relating to interpretation against the drafter of an agreement shall not apply to this Agreement and are expressly waived.

At all times prior to the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the Company and the Investors shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases, public documents and public filings (and provide each other a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such release, and the Company will consider in good faith any comments the Requisite Investors have to any such documents) or otherwise making public announcements with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Section 26 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall modify the approval rights of any party hereto under the Plan Support Agreement; and provided further that nothing in this Section 26 shall prohibit any party hereto from filing any motions or other pleadings or documents with the Bankruptcy Court in connection with the CHC Cases.

27. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective and binding upon each Party upon the execution and delivery by all Parties of an executed signature page hereto and upon the execution of the Plan Support Agreement by all parties thereto; provided that this Agreement shall only become effective and binding on the Debtors upon entry by the Bankruptcy Court of the PSA Approval Order except, for the avoidance of doubt, the Debtors shall be immediately obligated, upon the execution by all Parties hereto, to comply with the provisions of Section 5(a)(i), Section 5(f), Section 11(a) and Section 11(b) of this Agreement.

28. Settlement Discussions. This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein are part of a proposed comprehensive settlement of matters that could otherwise by the subject of litigation among the parties hereto. 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 thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to obtain Bankruptcy Court approval hereof and a proceeding to enforce this Agreement’s terms. Nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair or restrict the ability of each of the parties hereto to protect and preserve its rights, remedies and interests, including its Claims against any of the other parties hereto (or their respective affiliates or subsidiaries) or its full participation in the CHC Cases. This Agreement shall in no event be construed as or be deemed an admission or concession on the part of any party of any Claim or fault or liability or damages whatsoever. 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 CHC Cases (other than a Legal Proceeding to approve or enforce the terms of this Agreement).

Unless as otherwise specified herein, all documents (the “Restructuring Documents”), including, without limitation, the PSA Approval Order (as defined below), the Plan of Reorganization, and all exhibits and schedules thereto, the Disclosure Statement, pleadings, proposed orders and other filings with the Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division (the “Bankruptcy Court”), implementing the restructuring contemplated by this Term Sheet shall be consistent with this Term Sheet and otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Debtors, the UCC and the Requisite Plan Sponsors; provided, however, all Governance Matters (as defined below) shall be determined as set forth herein.

The “PSA Approval Order” means an order of the Bankruptcy Court that, among other things, authorizes and approves (i) the Debtors’ entry into the Plan Support Agreement and the Backstop Agreement (as defined below), (ii) the UCC’s entry into the Plan Support Agreement, (iii) the Debtors’ payment of the Put Option Premium (as defined below) to the Backstop Commitment Parties (as defined below), and (iv) the Milestone Term Sheet (as defined below) and the transactions contemplated therein.

The “Effective Date” means the date on which the substantial consummation (as that term is defined by section 1101(2) of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) of the Plan of Reorganization occurs.

¹Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Plan Support Agreement.

GLOBAL SETTLEMENT

Global Settlement	The terms set forth in this Term Sheet represent an integrated global settlement of any and all potential issues among the Settlement Parties, including, without limitation: (i) any issues with respect to amount, value and treatment under the Plan of Reorganization of claims, including the Secured Notes Claims, claims arising out of the Debtors’ senior unsecured notes due 2021 (the “Unsecured Notes Claims”), and other General Unsecured Claims; (ii) validity, extent and priority of the liens securing the Secured Notes; (iii) value of unencumbered assets; (iv) any potential adequate protection or diminution in value claim held by holders of the Secured Notes; (v) any potential claim to surcharge collateral under Bankruptcy Code section 506(c); and (vi) Plan Equity Value (as defined below) and total enterprise value (collectively, the “Settled Claims”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein or in the Plan Support Agreement shall be considered any Settlement Parties’ view or admission of any kind whatsoever by any of the Settlement Parties with respect to the Settled Claims or any term of the Global Settlement. As will be more fully detailed in the Plan Support Agreement, each of the Settlement Parties will use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Plan of Reorganization proposed, confirmed and consummated as soon as possible and the Debtors shall take appropriate steps to oppose, challenge and object to any alternative plan of reorganization or other restructuring transaction. Notwithstanding the foregoing and as will be set forth in the Plan Support Agreement, neither the UCC (including its members in such members’ capacity as a member of the UCC) nor the Debtors shall be required to take any action, or to refrain from taking any action, to the extent that taking such action or refraining from taking such action would, upon the advice of counsel, cause such party to breach its fiduciary obligations under the Bankruptcy Code and applicable law (any such action, or refraining to take such action, a “Fiduciary Action”). For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary herein or in the Plan Support Agreement, in order to fulfill the Debtors’ and the UCC’s fiduciary obligations, the Debtors and/or the UCC may analyze and consider unsolicited proposals or offers for any alternative chapter 11 plan or restructuring transaction and may ask clarifying questions regarding that offer (but not negotiate, counter or seek to alter any of the terms therein) without terminating, or breaching its obligations under, this Term Sheet or the Plan Support Agreement; provided however, that if the Debtors take a Fiduciary Action, such Fiduciary Action will result in a termination of the Plan Support Agreement and the Backstop Agreement (as defined below), which shall in turn result in the Put Option Premium (as defined below) becoming due and payable.

AGREEMENT WITH MILESTONE

Agreement with Milestone	Terms of the agreement with Milestone, including, without limitation, committed lease and financing terms, shall be set forth in a term sheet to be attached as an exhibit to the Plan Support Agreement (the “Milestone Term Sheet”). All definitive documents implementing the terms thereof shall be consistent in all material respects with the Milestone Term Sheet and otherwise in all respects reasonably acceptable to the Debtors, Milestone, the Requisite Plan Sponsors, and the UCC.

THE RIGHTS OFFERING

Rights Offering	In connection with the Plan of Reorganization, the Debtors will solicit participation in a rights offering (the “Rights Offering”) to purchase the New Second Lien Convertible Notes (as defined below) for an aggregate principal amount of $300.0 million, which, when adjusted for the original issue discount and Equitization Premium (as defined below), purchases $433.3 million of New Second Lien Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the Rights Offering, the $300.0 million investment shall be allocated $280.0 million to the holders of Senior Secured Notes Claims (as defined below) and $20 million to the holders of Unsecured Notes Claims. Each eligible holder of a Senior Secured Notes Claim or an Unsecured Notes Claim that participates in the Rights Offering shall receive its pro rata share of its respective group’s allocation of the New Second Lien Convertible Notes.² The New Second Lien Convertible Notes shall convert into New Common Shares in accordance with the terms of the New Second Lien Convertible Notes term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit D. The Rights Offering shall be fully backstopped as set forth herein. In consideration for the settlements and agreements contained herein, the holders of Senior Secured Notes have agreed to equitize their Senior Secured Notes Secured Claims (as defined below) under the Plan of Reorganization, which equitization shall include the issuance of an additional $100.0 million of New Second Lien Convertible Notes in the Rights Offering (the “Equitization Premium”). The Equitization Premium shall be shared ratably by all participants in the Rights Offering. “New Common Shares” means the membership interests of either (a) CHC Group Ltd. (“CHC”), as reorganized pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization or (b) such other newly formed entity, whose corporate form and jurisdiction of incorporation shall be determined in accordance with the Governance Matters set forth herein (either (a) or (b), “Reorganized CHC”), to be issued on the Effective Date as provided herein. The subscription documents for the Rights Offering will provide that all parties who subscribe to purchase the New Second Lien Convertible Notes must vote in favor of, and not object to, the Plan of Reorganization. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, the Backstop Commitment Parties shall participate in the Rights Offering in their capacities as beneficial holders of the Senior Secured Notes Claims or Unsecured Notes Claims, as applicable. The procedures for the Rights Offering shall be determined by the Debtors, the UCC, and the Plan Sponsors and, solely to the extent provided in the Plan Support Agreement or Backstop Agreement, the Individual Creditor Parties.

New Second Lien Convertible Notes	$464.1 million in face amount of second lien convertible notes (the “New Second Lien Convertible Notes”), the terms of which are set forth on the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Convertible Notes Term Sheet”). All definitive documents implementing the terms thereof shall be consistent in all material respects with the Convertible Notes Term Sheet and otherwise in all respects reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Plan Sponsors, UCC and the Debtors. The New Second Lien Convertible Notes shall not bear or pay non-default interest and shall be convertible into 85.4% of the New Common Shares on a fully diluted basis (but subject to dilution for the MIP), on the terms and conditions set forth in the Convertible Notes Term Sheet.

² Non-Eligible Holders (as defined in the Rights Offering Procedures) of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims and Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claims shall have the opportunity to receive their pro rata share of a specified distribution of New Common Shares. The terms and conditions of such distributions for Non-Eligible Holders will be set forth in further detail in the Rights Offering Procedures.

Backstop Commitment

“Backstop Commitment” means the obligation of the Plan Sponsors and Individual Creditor Parties identified on Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Backstop Commitment Parties”) to purchase the New Second Lien Convertible Notes in the Rights Offering in the amounts set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto, and subject in all respects to the terms of this Term Sheet and the Backstop Agreement.

The Backstop Commitment shall be documented pursuant to an agreement on terms and conditions consistent with this Term Sheet and otherwise acceptable to the Debtors, the UCC and the Plan Sponsors (the “Backstop Agreement”), each in their sole discretion, and, solely to the extent provided in the Plan Support Agreement or Backstop Agreement, acceptable to the Individual Creditor Parties, which agreement shall be attached to the Plan Support Agreement and approved by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to the PSA Approval Order.

Put Option Premium

The “Put Option Premium” means a nonrefundable aggregate premium payable on the Effective Date of the Plan of Reorganization to the Backstop Commitment Parties in additional New Second Lien Convertible Notes in a principal amount of $30.8 million. If the Backstop Agreement is terminated (other than due to the occurrence of certain termination events specifically excluded in the Backstop Agreement), the Put Option Premium shall be payable to the Backstop Commitment Parties in cash (as opposed to additional New Second Lien Convertible Notes) in the amount of $21.33 million, and shall be fully due upon termination of the Backstop Agreement and payable in two equal installments of (x) $10.665 million immediately upon the termination of the Backstop Agreement, and (y) $10.665 million upon the consummation of any plan, sale or other restructuring transaction; it being understood that any Backstop Commitment Party that breaches the Backstop Agreement or the Plan Support Agreement shall not be entitled to its pro rata share of the Put Option Premium under any circumstances.

The $30.8 million in New Second Lien Convertible Notes issued in respect to the Put Option Premium shall be convertible into 5.67% of the New Common Stock on a fully diluted basis (but subject to dilution for the MIP). Of this amount, 5.29% shall be allocated to the Plan Sponsors and 0.38% shall be allocated to the Individual Creditor Parties.

The Put Option Premium shall be fully earned by the Backstop Commitment Parties upon approval of the Backstop Commitment. While the Put Option Premium may be asserted against each Debtor, if the Put Option Premium is paid in cash, the Backstop Commitment Parties shall not receive more than $21.4 million in the aggregate on account of such Put Option Premium, and, in each such case, shall constitute an administrative expense claim against each of the Debtors which shall be pari passu with all other administrative expenses. The Put Option Premium shall be payable on a ratable basis to the Backstop Commitment Parties based on such party’s respective share of the Backstop Commitment set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto.

Transferability	The Backstop Commitment Parties’ respective commitments under the Backstop Agreement shall not be transferable; provided, that such commitments shall be transferrable from one Backstop Commitment Party to another Backstop Commitment Party or from any Backstop Commitment Party to any of its affiliates, as long as such affiliates are or become signatories to the Plan Support Agreement and the Backstop Agreement; provided however, that the assigning party shall not be released from its obligations under the Backstop Agreement. The rights provided to holders of Senior Secured Notes Claims and Unsecured Notes Claims in the Rights Offering (the “Rights”) shall not be assignable or detachable, and shall not be transferrable other than in connection with the transfer of the corresponding Senior Secured Notes Claims or Unsecured Notes Claims, as applicable. After a Right has been exercised by submitting an election form, the underlying Senior Secured Notes Claim or Unsecured Notes Claim will cease to be transferrable, and the holder of such Senior Secured Notes Claim or Unsecured Notes Claim shall not transfer any such Senior Secured Notes Claims or Unsecured Notes Claims unless such holder transfers with such Claim(s) the right to receive the proceeds of the exercise of the corresponding Rights in the Rights Offering, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws relating to the transfer of restricted securities.

Several Obligations	The Backstop Commitment Parties’ respective commitments and obligations under the Backstop Agreement shall be several obligations and neither joint nor joint and several obligations and, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by a Backstop Commitment Party, no Backstop Commitment Party shall have any liability for any obligation of another Backstop Commitment Party; provided, however, that each Backstop Commitment Party shall be liable for its pro rata share of the Backstop Commitment of any Backstop Commitment Party which breaches its obligations up to an aggregate amount of $20 million (the “Backstop Breach Commitment”). For the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the Backstop Breach Commitment, each Backstop Commitment Party shall be liable only for its pro rata share of up to $20 million in the aggregate (not up to $20 million per Backstop Commitment Party) resulting from the breach by one or more Backstop Commitment Party.

Oversubscription Rights	None; provided, that, subject to the Backstop Breach Commitment, in the event that a Backstop Commitment Party defaults in its Backstop Commitment obligations, then the other Backstop Commitment Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase such defaulting Backstop Commitment Party’s Backstop Commitment obligations.

Other Priority Claims¹⁰	Except to the extent that a holder of an allowed Other Priority Claim and the Debtors agree, with the consent of the Requisite Plan Sponsors and the UCC, not to be unreasonably withheld, to less favorable treatment to such holder, each holder of an allowed Other Priority Claim shall receive, in full and final satisfaction of such claim, payment in full in cash; provided, however, that any Other Priority Claims that arise in the ordinary course of the Debtors’ business and which are not due and payable on or before the Effective Date shall be paid in the ordinary course of business in accordance with the terms thereof.

GENERAL PLAN PROVISIONS

Plan Equity Value	The Disclosure Statement shall set forth the agreed equity value of the New Common Shares for purposes of the Plan of Reorganization, which equity value shall be $543.5 million (the “Plan Equity Value”), which assumes conversion of the New Second Lien Convertible Notes in full.

Tax Matters	The Plan of Reorganization shall be structured so as to preserve, to the greatest extent practicable, the Debtors’ net operating losses and any other valuable tax attributes. Reorganized CHC shall be taxable as a corporation.

Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases	Except as provided in the Milestone Term Sheet or to the extent that the Debtors have already reached an agreement with counterparties to executory contracts and unexpired leases, and such agreement has been approved by the Bankruptcy Court, the treatment of executory contracts and unexpired leases under the Plan shall be determined in a manner reasonably acceptable in all respects to the Debtors, the Requisite Plan Sponsors and the UCC.

Board of Reorganized CHC	The initial board of Reorganized CHC shall have five (5) members, which shall consist of the Chief Executive Officer (▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇) and four (4) other members selected by the Requisite Plan Sponsors in their sole discretion but after consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, provided that one of the four shall be an independent director. The Plan Sponsors shall consult with the UCC and the Individual Creditor Parties, regarding the selection of the independent director.

Other Governance Matters/Reporting Obligations	All corporate organization and governance matters with respect to Reorganized CHC, including corporate form, governance documents and selection of members of the board of directors (collectively, the “Governance Matters”) shall be consistent with this Term Sheet and as otherwise determined by the Requisite Plan Sponsors in their sole discretion, in consultation with the Debtors and the UCC, provided, however, that, to the extent any governance documents expressly adversely and disproportionately impact, or discriminate against, minority holders of New Common Shares, such provisions will be subject to the consent of the UCC, not to be unreasonably withheld, and consultation with the Individual Creditor Parties. The Plan Sponsor and the UCC agree that limiting certain rights to holders of New Common Shares, individually or in the aggregate, of a minimum number or percentage of outstanding New Common Shares (such as votes to approve matters or minimum holdings participation in preemptive rights (provided that with respect to preemptive rights such minimum holdings shall not exceed 1%) or registration rights) or holders who meet certain qualifications (such as institutional accredited investor status or U.S. residents) shall not be deemed to create any adverse and disproportionate impact), and provided, further, however, that Reorganized CHC shall be taxable as a corporation.

¹⁴

“Existing Interests” means: (a) all equity interests in the Debtors that are not held by other Debtors; and (b) all claims against the Debtors subject to subordination pursuant to section 510(b) of the Bankruptcy Code arising from or related to any of the foregoing.

	Regardless of where Reorganized CHC is organized or the entity form of Reorganized CHC, (i) the duties owed to minority holders of New Common Shares by officers and directors of Reorganized CHC will be substantially the same as the duties owed to minority shareholders by officers and directors of a Delaware corporation (excluding corporate opportunity as to outside directors only), and (ii) the law of the place of organization of Reorganized CHC will be supplemented to the extent such law provides a lower standard of such duty than under the law applicable to a Delaware corporation. All common holders will have the right to participate in any Reorganized CHC exchange offer made available to any other holder of equity securities. For the avoidance of doubt, the repurchase of equity securities for cash shall not be considered an “exchange.” The shares of New Common Shares held by small holders will not be subject to any transfer restrictions, including rights of first refusal or rights of first offer, except to comply with the U.S. and foreign securities laws (including prohibiting transfers resulting in Reorganized CHC becoming a reporting company). Customary tag-along and drag-along rights will apply (but for the avoidance of doubt, sales by small holders will not be subject to tag-along rights of other holders). Minority shareholders will not be required to execute a shareholders agreement provided that minority shareholders may be bound by an operating agreement (or similar document) and terms of the CHC Plan (if any) concerning corporate governance without such execution. To the extent that Reorganized CHC is not a public reporting company, Reorganized CHC will provide unaudited quarterly financial statements for the first three quarters of a fiscal year and annual financial statements, which financial information may be made available to holders through a restricted electronic data room, and quarterly earnings calls with management. Such financial information may be made available to bona fide prospective purchasers who sign a customary non-disclosure agreement. The financial reporting obligations of Reorganized CHC described in the Restructuring Documents shall not be amended or modified to provide for less financial reporting to shareholders.

Retained Causes of Action	The Plan of Reorganization shall contain customary provisions regarding retention of all causes of action, including, subject to the ABL Term Sheet, any claims against Airbus related to the EC225 accident, by Reorganized CHC; provided, however, that potential chapter 5 claims against non-insider trade vendors and employees of Reorganized CHC as of the Effective Date shall be waived under the Plan of Reorganization.

Releases and Exculpation	The Plan of Reorganization shall include, to the extent permitted by law, customary release and exculpation provisions in favor of (i) the Debtors and their present and former directors and officers, (ii) the Plan Sponsors, (iii) the ad hoc group of holders of the Senior Secured Notes and its members, (iv) the Bank of New York Mellon, in its capacity as indenture trustee for the senior secured notes, (v) HSBC Corporate Trustee Company (UK) Limited, in its capacity as collateral agent for the Senior Secured Notes, (vi) Milestone and (vii) the UCC and its current and former members; (viii) Law Debenture Trust Company, as indenture trustee for the senior unsecured notes due 2021; (ix) the Individual Creditor Parties and (x) the foregoing’s professionals and agents, each of (i) through (x) solely in their capacity as such.

Restructuring Expenses (to the Extent Not Paid Pursuant to the Cash Collateral Order)	As will be more fully set forth in the Backstop Agreement and/or Plan Support Agreement, all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Plan Sponsors, the Individual Creditor Parties (up to a maximum aggregate amount of $150,000) including all reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by the counsel, financial advisors, consultants and other professionals of such parties, shall be paid on a current basis after receipt of an invoice, each in accordance with the agreements between the Debtors and the applicable firm. All Restructuring Expenses billed prior to the Effective Date shall be paid on the Effective Date. For the avoidance of doubt, such counsel, financial advisors, consultants and other professionals to be paid pursuant to this section include Akin Gump ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇ LLP, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ Capital, Inc., such other advisors retained by the Plan Sponsors and counsel to the Bank of New York Mellon. The fees, costs and expenses of Milestone and certain other entities specified in the Milestone Term Sheet shall be paid pursuant to the terms set forth in the Milestone Term Sheet. The Plan shall provide for the payment of the reasonable and documented fees and expenses (including counsel fees) of the indenture trustee for the senior unsecured notes due 2021.

OTHER PROVISIONS

Transaction Milestones	The Plan Support Agreement shall include dates by which certain events must occur, including, among other things, entry of the PSA Order, entry of an order approving the disclosure statement, entry of an order confirming the Plan of Reorganization and the occurrence of the Effective Date, which milestones shall be acceptable in all respects to the Plan Sponsors, the UCC and the Debtors, each in their sole discretion.

Business Plan	If there are any modifications or amendments to the business plan provided by the Debtors to the Plan Sponsors and the UCC as of the date of the Plan Support Agreement, including any change in the period covered by such business plan or any replacement or new business plan, such modifications or amendments (or new business plan) shall be acceptable to the Requisite Plan Sponsors and the UCC, each in their sole discretion.

New ABL Facility	To the extent that the Debtors and the Plan Sponsors, in consultation with the UCC, seek to obtain a new asset based lending facility or any other type of financing to assist in the purchase of aircraft or provide working capital pursuant to an agreement to be entered into and effective on the Effective Date, such financing facility shall be in all respects reasonably acceptable to the Debtors, the Requisite Plan Sponsors, and the UCC.

MIP	On the Effective Date, Reorganized CHC will adopt a management incentive plan (the “MIP”) including a reservation of ten percent (10%) of the New Common Shares on a fully diluted basis (inclusive of the MIP shares) for distribution thereunder. The material terms of the MIP shall be included in a document to be filed as part of the Plan Supplement.

Cash Collateral Order	The Debtors, the Plan Sponsors and the UCC shall work in good faith to negotiate a consensual final order relating to the use of cash collateral (the “Final Cash Collateral Order”) that is reasonably acceptable in all respects to the Debtors, the Requisite Plan Sponsors and the UCC, for entry by October 18, 2016; provided, however, if a consensual Final Cash Collateral Order is not entered by October 18, 2016, the Debtors, the Plan Sponsors and the UCC will agree to a further interim order through the next omnibus hearing date of November 3, 2016 and a Final Cash Collateral Order reasonably acceptable in all respects to the Debtors, the Requisite Plan Sponsors and the UCC, shall be entered no later than November 3, 2016. The termination of the Plan Support Agreement shall be an event of default under the Final Cash Collateral Order and the Debtors’ right to use Cash Collateral (as defined in the Final Cash Collateral Order) shall terminate fourteen (14) days following the occurrence of such event of default.

Post-Effective Date Committee	So long as the UCC does not terminate its obligations under the Plan Support Agreement, a post-Effective Date committee comprised of three members of the UCC will be formed on the Effective Date and funded by Reorganized CHC (subject to the Committee Fee Cap (as defined below)), and will have (i) consultation rights for the settlement of any General Unsecured Claims filed or asserted in the amount of $5 million or more, (ii) reasonable consent rights with respect to any settlement of a General Unsecured Claim that is settled for an Allowed General Unsecured Claim in excess of $5 million. In the event the post-effective date committee does not consent to any such claim settlement, Reorganized CHC shall have the right to seek approval of such claim settlement by the Bankruptcy Court pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019. The Plan of Reorganization will provide that the Bankruptcy Court will retain jurisdiction to resolve any disputes related to post-Effective Date claims resolution. The fees and expenses of the post-Effective Date committee shall not exceed $500,000 in the aggregate (the “Committee Fee Cap”).

Approval in Potential Canadian and/or Other Foreign Proceedings	To the extent that approvals are required that necessitate proceedings in foreign jurisdictions other than Canada and the Cayman Islands (to the extent disclosed to the Plan Sponsors and the UCC, subject to appropriate confidentiality restrictions, prior to the date of the Plan Support Agreement), the Debtors, the UCC and the Requisite Plan Sponsors shall jointly agree on the appropriate proceedings and processes to efficiently achieve such approvals.

Other Matters	The Plan Support Agreement shall include a termination event to the extent the unrestricted cash liquidity as of the Effective Date is less than an amount to be agreed upon by the Debtors, the UCC and the Requisite Plan Sponsors (after accounting for payments to be made on the Effective Date). Except as otherwise provided herein, other provisions set forth in the Plan Support Agreement, the Plan of Reorganization and all other documents or agreements related to the reorganization, including all exhibits, attachments, supplements, orders and documents related thereto, shall be in all respects reasonably acceptable to the Debtors, the UCC and the Requisite Plan Sponsors.

Exhibit D

New Second Lien Convertible Notes Term Sheet

This Summary of Terms and Conditions provides an outline of a proposed new second lien convertible notes financing. This Term Sheet does not include descriptions of all of the terms, conditions and other provisions that are to be contained in the documentation relating to such transactions. Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Joint Plan of Reorganization Term Sheet.

Issuer	Reorganized CHC.

Guarantors	Same as under any credit facility provided as consideration on account of the claims of the Holders of allowed Revolving Credit Agreement Claims (a “New Credit Facility”) or otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Requisite Plan Sponsors, the Debtors and the UCC.

Purchase Price	$300.0 million

Facility	$464.1 million (inclusive of the original issue discount, Equitization Premium and the Put Option Premium) in face amount of second lien convertible notes (the “New Second Lien Convertible Notes”).

Equitization Premium	$100.0 million of New Second Lien Convertible Notes

Put Option Premium	$30.8 million of New Second Lien Convertible Notes

Original Issue Discount	10.0%

Initial Holders	Each holder that is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) of (i) an allowed Senior Secured Notes Claim shall have the right to purchase its pro rata share of $404.4 million of the New Second Lien Convertible Notes and (ii) an allowed Unsecured Notes Claim shall have the right to purchase their pro rata share of $28.9 million of the New Second Lien Convertible Notes, in each case, pursuant to the Rights Offering. New Second Lien Convertible Notes will be held in street name through DTC to the extent the initial holders thereof are “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) or institutional “accredited investors” (within the meaning of subparagraphs (a)(1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act), to the extent practicable.

Security	Same as the collateral under the New Credit Facility or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Requisite Plan Sponsors, the Debtors and the UCC but, in each case, junior to the liens securing the New Credit Facility.

Interest	Will not bear or pay interest other than in connection with an event of default.

Default Rate	Upon and during the continuance of any event of default, interest shall accrue at a rate of 2.0% per annum, payable in cash.

Dividends	Participation in ordinary share dividends (other than dividends paid in New Common Shares) on an as-converted basis.

Voting Rights	Entitled to vote on all matters upon which the holders of ordinary shares may vote, on an as-converted basis.

Backstop Commitments	The Backstop Commitment Parties shall backstop the New Second Lien Convertible Notes issuance and receive the Put Option Premium in consideration for such backstop commitment as set forth in the Joint Plan of Reorganization Term Sheet.

Mandatory Conversion	The New Second Lien Convertible Notes will be mandatorily converted to New Common Shares upon the occurrence of any of the events set forth below (the date of such conversion, the “Conversion Date”). The number of New Common Shares issuable upon conversion of the $464.1 million outstanding principal amount of New Second Lien Convertible Notes will be equal to 85.4% of the New Common Shares outstanding as of the Effective Date on a fully diluted basis (but subject to dilution for the MIP), subject to adjustments related to anti-dilution protections. The conversion price shall be $464.1 million (even if less than that aggregate face amount of New Second Lien Convertible Notes is issued on the Effective Date) divided by the aggregate number of New Common Shares issuable in respect of $464.1 million face amount of New Second Lien Convertible Notes on the Effective Date, subject to anti-dilution protections or other adjustments as described below (the “Conversion Price”). It being understood that if the aggregate face amount of New Second Lien Convertible Notes issued on the Effective Date is less than $464.1 million, (i) the Conversion Price will not be adjusted and (ii) the percentage of New Common Shares outstanding as of the Effective Date on a fully diluted basis (but subject to dilution for the MIP) issuable upon conversion of the outstanding principal amount of New Second Lien Convertible Notes shall be adjusted as appropriate. New Second Lien Convertible Notes will mandatorily convert upon: · Any bona fide arm’s length issuance by Reorganized CHC of the New Common Shares to entities or persons that are not shareholders of Reorganized CHC (or affiliates of shareholders of Reorganized CHC) holding more than 10% of the New Common Shares immediately prior to such issuance for cash proceeds (net of underwriting commissions, placement fees, other similar expenses and other related fees and expenses), of $75.0 million or more in a single transaction at a pre-money equity value (post-conversion of the New Second Lien Convertible Notes) that is equal to or greater than 130.0% of the then-applicable Conversion Price. · If the New Common Shares are traded on a national securities exchange, the first trading day on which the trailing 30-day VWAP of the New Common Shares is 130% of the then-applicable Conversion Price.

RIGHTS OFFERING PROCEDURES

Introduction

The Debtors are pursuing a proposed financial restructuring of their existing debt and other obligations to be effectuated pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization (the “Plan”) in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan Support Agreement,by and among the Debtors, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors) and certain other creditors of the Debtors. On May 5, 2016, the Debtors filed for chapter 11 protection in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). Their Chapter 11 Cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re CHC Group Ltd., et al., Ch. 11 Case No. [16-31854] (BJH). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the Joint Plan of Reorganization Term Sheet.

In connection with the Plan, after having obtained approval of these procedures (the “Rights Offering Procedures”) by an order of the Bankruptcy Court (such approval, the “Rights Offering Order”), the Debtors will launch the Rights Offering to Eligible Offerees (as defined below), pursuant to which the Eligible Offerees shall be offered a right (each, a “Right”) to purchase up to such Eligible Offeree’s pro rata portion of $433.3 million aggregate principal amount of the New Second Lien Convertible Notes, on the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan, at an aggregate purchase price equal to $300.0 million.

An “Eligible Offeree” is a holder or transferee of an allowed Senior Secured Notes Claim (an “Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claim”) or an allowed Unsecured Notes Claim (an “Allowed Unsecured Notes Claim”), in each case who is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) (“Accredited Investor”) of Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), as of the Rights Offering Record Date (as defined below). A “Non-Eligible Offeree” is a holder of an Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claim or an Allowed Unsecured Notes Claim that is not an Accredited Investor.

Only Eligible Offerees may participate in the Rights Offering. In lieu of Rights, Non-Eligible Offerees will be given the opportunity to receive a substitute distribution (a “Substitute Distribution”) consisting of new equity in Reorganized CHC (“New Common Shares”).

These Rights Offering Procedures, upon entry of the Rights Offering Order, will govern the ability of Eligible Offerees to participate in the Rights Offering or the Non-Eligible Offerees to receive the Substitute Distribution.

All questions relating to these Rights Offering Procedures, other documents associated with the Rights Offering, or the requirements to participate in the Rights Offering should be directed to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Consultants LLC, the subscription agent (the “Subscription Agent”) to be retained by the Debtors at:

Attention: CHC Group Ltd

Tel: (▇▇▇) ▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇

A Disclosure statement is being distributed in connection with the debtors’ solicitation of votes to accept or reject the Plan (THE “Disclosure statement”) and that document sets forth important information that should be carefully read and considered by each Eligible OFFEREE prior to making a decision to participate in the Rights Offering. additional copies of the disclosure statement are available upon request from the subscription agent and at the debtors’ restructuring website: ▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇▇▇.

These Rights Offering Procedures, the Offering Form and the accompanying Instructions should be read carefully before exercise of the Rights, as strict compliance with their terms is required. Holders of Rights may wish to seek legal advice concerning the Rights Offering.

II.

Rights Offering

To exercise its Right in the Rights Offering, an Eligible Offeree must directly or through its Subscription Nominee (as defined below) (i) complete the offering form, which will accompany the ballot form distributed in connection with the solicitation of acceptances of the Plan following entry of the Rights Offering Order, entitling such Eligible Offeree to exercise its Rights, in whole or in part (the “Offering Form”), and (ii) pay the purchase price (other than the Backstop Commitment Parties) which (x) in the case of holders of an Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claim, is an amount equal to its pro rata share of $280.0 million (which will purchase its pro rata share of $404.4 million in face amount of the New Second Lien Convertible Notes as of the Effective Date) and (y) in the case of holders of an Allowed Unsecured Notes Claim, is an amount equal to its pro rata share of $20.0 million (which will purchase its pro rata share of $28.9 million in face amount of the New Second Lien Convertible Notes as of the Effective Date) (in each case, as applicable, the “Purchase Price”), such pro rata share to be calculated as the proportion that an Eligible Offeree’s Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claim or Allowed Unsecured Notes Claim, as applicable, bears to the aggregate amount¹ of all Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claims and Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims, respectively, as of [●], 2016 (the “Rights Offering Record Date”), rounded down to the nearest dollar. In addition, in order to exercise its Rights, an Eligible Offeree must affirmatively vote in favor of the Plan.

Each Eligible Offeree may exercise all, some, or none of such pro rata share, and the Purchase Price for such Eligible Offeree will be adjusted accordingly. The principal amount of New Second Lien Convertible Notes issued to an Eligible Offeree who elects to purchase such New Second Lien Convertible Notes shall also be rounded down to the nearest dollar.

¹ For the avoidance of doubt, this amount includes the outstanding principal amount of such claims and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but excluding, May 5, 2016, the petition date, but not including any post-petition interest.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Rights shall not be transferable, assignable or detachable other than in connection with the transfer of the corresponding Senior Secured Notes Claims or Unsecured Claims Notes, as applicable, and other than in accordance with these Rights Offering Procedures. See Section V.D. below for more information related to transfers and the related procedures.

III.

The Backstop

The Rights Offering will be backstopped by the Backstop Commitment Parties. Each of the Backstop Commitment Parties, severally² and not jointly, has agreed, pursuant to the Backstop Agreement, to purchase all New Second Lien Convertible Notes that are not purchased by other Eligible Offerees pursuant to the Rights Offering (the “Unsubscribed Notes”), on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the percentages set forth in Exhibit A to the Backstop Agreement.³ To compensate the Backstop Commitment Parties for the risk of their undertakings in the Backstop Agreement and as consideration for their backstop commitments, the Debtors will pay to such Backstop Commitment Parties the Put Option Premium (as defined in the Backstop Agreement) pursuant to the terms and conditions in the Backstop Agreement.

There will be no over-subscription privilege in the Rights Offering. The Unsubscribed Notes will not be offered to other Eligible Offerees but will instead be purchased by the Backstop Commitment Parties in accordance with the Backstop Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the rights and obligations of the Backstop Commitment Parties in the Rights Offering shall be governed by the Backstop Agreement.

IV.

Commencement/Expiration of the Rights Offering

The Rights Offering shall commence on the day upon which the Offering Forms are distributed in connection with the solicitation of acceptances of the Plan (the “Rights Commencement Date”), which is expected to be no later than the fourth Business Day (as defined in the Backstop Agreement) after entry of the Rights Offering Order. The Rights Offering shall expire at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the voting deadline under the Plan, or such other date as the Debtors may agree, subject to the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (if applicable), and the reasonable consent of the UCC and the Backstop Commitment Parties holding at least a majority of the Backstop Commitments held by non-defaulting Backstop Commitment Parties (the “Requisite Investors”), and the Debtors shall specify in a notice provided to the Backstop Commitment Parties before 9:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day before the then-effective Rights Expiration Time (such time and date, as may be extended, the “Rights Expiration Time”). The Debtors shall promptly notify, or cause to be notified, the holders of Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claims and Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims of any extension of the new Rights Expiration Time.

² For the avoidance of doubt, each Backstop Commitment Party shall be liable for its pro rata share of the Backstop Commitment of any Backstop Commitment Party which breaches its obligations, up to an aggregate amount of $20.0 million for all Backstop Commitment Parties as set forth in the Backstop Agreement.

³ For the avoidance of doubt, each of the Backstop Commitment Parties, severally and not jointly, has agreed to purchase any New Second Lien Convertible Notes that are not purchased on account of any Non-Eligible Offerees.

The Debtors will furnish, or cause to be furnished, Offering Forms to the applicable brokers, dealers, commercial banks, trust companies, or other agents or nominees of the holders of Senior Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes (the “Subscription Nominees”). Each Subscription Nominee will be entitled to receive sufficient copies of the Offering Form for distribution to the beneficial owners of the Company’s existing 9.250% Senior Secured Notes Due 2020 (the “Senior Secured Notes”) and 9.375% Senior Notes Due 2021 (the “Unsecured Notes” and, together with the Senior Secured Notes, the “Existing Notes”) for whom such Subscription Nominee holds such Existing Notes.

Each participating Eligible Offeree who submits a Binding Rights Election shall be notified of its receipt and acceptance.

(ii)

represents and warrants that it will not accept a distribution of New Second Lien Convertible Notes if at such time, it does not hold an Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claim or an Allowed Unsecured Notes Claim and, by accepting a distribution of New Second Lien Convertible Notes, such Eligible Offeree will be deemed to represent and warrant that it is the holder thereof;

(iii)

represents and warrants that it is an Accredited Investor and otherwise an Eligible Offeree; and

(iv)

agrees and acknowledges that, by subscribing to purchase the New Second Lien Convertible Notes, it has voted, or will vote simultaneously with the exercise of its Rights, in favor of, and will not object to, the Plan.

Failure to Exercise Rights & Payment for Rights

Unexercised Rights will be relinquished on the Rights Expiration Time. If, on or prior to the Rights Expiration Time, the Subscription Agent for any reason does not receive from an Eligible Offeree or its Subscription Nominee on behalf of an Eligible Offeree (i) a duly completed Offering Form⁴ and (ii) immediately available funds by wire transfer in an amount equal to the total applicable Purchase Price for such Eligible Offeree’s Rights, such Eligible Offeree shall be deemed to have irrevocably relinquished and waived its Rights, subject to Section V.D below; provided, that the Backstop Commitment Parties (in their capacities as Eligible Offerees) shall not be required to pay their respective Purchase Prices until the Effective Date.

If an Eligible Offeree fails to vote its Claims to accept the Plan, does not vote, or objects to the Plan, such Eligible Offeree shall be deemed to have irrevocably relinquished and waived its Rights, subject to Section V.D below.

Any attempt to exercise Rights after the Rights Expiration Time shall be null and void and the Debtors shall not be obligated to honor any such purported exercise received by the Subscription Agent after the Rights Expiration Time regardless of when the documents relating thereto were sent.

Transfer Restriction and Revocation

(i)

Transferability Restrictions Prior to Exercise of Rights

The Rights are not detachable from the Senior Secured Notes Claims or the Unsecured Notes Claims.

The Rights shall not be transferable or assignable unless such holder transfers its corresponding Senior Secured Notes Claim or Unsecured Notes Claim, as applicable, in respect of which such Rights were issued, and only holders of the Rights as of the Rights Offering Record Date (defined below) shall have the ability to exercise such Rights.

From the period commencing on the Rights Offering Record Date and unless and until a Right is exercised, any transfer or assignment of the corresponding Senior Secured Notes Claim or Unsecured Notes Claim shall void the Right.

(i)

Transferability Restrictions Following Exercise of Rights

After a Right has been exercised in accordance with these Rights Offering Procedures, the holder of the corresponding Senior Secured Notes Claim or Unsecured Notes Claim shall not transfer or assign such Senior Secured Note Claim or Unsecured Notes Claim unless such holder transfers or assigns with such Claim(s) the right to receive the proceeds of the exercise of the corresponding Rights in the Rights Offering, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws relating to the transfer of restricted securities, as evidenced by the delivery of a Transfer Notice to the Subscription Agent or other procedures acceptable to the Debtors and the Subscription Agent.

⁴ For the avoidance of doubt, the Backstop Commitment Parties (in their capacities as Eligible Offerees) shall not be required to submit an Offering Form.

Both (i) the Rights (after they have been exercised) and (ii) the right to receive the proceeds of any Rights transferred pursuant to these Rights Offering Procedures, shall not be transferrable other than to an Accredited Investor or a QIB. A “QIB” means a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

A “Transfer Notice” is a notice delivered to the Subscription Agent notifying the Subscription Agent of the transfer of a Claim by the holder of the corresponding Rights through the Subscription Deadline, which indicates (i) the name of the transferor, the name of the transferee, the type of Claim being transferred and the principal amount of such Claims; and (ii) certifies that such transferee is a QIB or an Accredited Investor.

(ii)

Revocation

Once an Eligible Offeree has properly exercised its Rights, such exercise will not be permitted to be revoked, unless the Effective Date has not occurred by the 31st day after the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of the Confirmation Order (unless such date is extended in accordance with the terms of the Plan Support Agreement or the Backstop Agreement). Thereafter an Eligible Offeree shall be permitted to revoke such exercise so long as the Effective Date has not occurred. An Eligible Offeree electing to revoke the exercise of its Rights must deliver written notice to the Subscription Agent (i) stating that the Eligible Offeree revokes its Rights; (ii) stating the type and number of Rights being revoked, and (iii) certifying that the Rights are being revoked are the only Rights exercised by the Eligible Offeree (the “Revocation Notice”). Upon receipt of a properly completed and timely returned Revocation Notice by an Eligible Offeree, the Subscription Agent shall use reasonable efforts to return as promptly as practicable the applicable Rights Offering Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, any revocation of Rights shall not constitute a revocation of a vote to accept the Plan.

Funds

The payments made to purchase New Second Lien Convertible Notes pursuant to the Rights Offering (the “Rights Offering Funds”) shall be deposited into an escrow account (the “Rights Offering Escrow Account”) for the purpose of holding the money for administration of the Rights Offering until the Effective Date. The Rights Offering Funds may not be used for any purpose other than to release the funds as directed by the Debtors on the Effective Date or as otherwise set forth in these Rights Offering Procedures or in the Plan, and, until released in accordance with the foregoing, the Rights Offering Funds will not be deemed part of the Debtors’ bankruptcy estate. The Rights Offering Funds shall not be encumbered by any lien, encumbrance, or cash collateral obligation. No interest will be paid to participating Eligible Offerees on account of any amounts paid in connection with their exercise of Rights under any circumstances.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, pursuant to the terms of the Backstop Agreement, each Backstop Commitment Party shall not be obligated to make payments in connection with the Rights Offering into the Rights Offering Escrow Account prior to twenty-four (24) hours before the proposed Effective Date.

Participating Eligible Offeree Release

See section [●] of the Plan for important information regarding releases.

VI.

Non-Eligible Offerees

Conditions to Receipt of a Substitute Distribution

In order to be treated as a Non-Eligible Offeree and receive its Substitute Distribution under the Plan, a Non-Eligible Offeree must complete, or cause its Subscription Nominee to complete, an Offering Form certifying that it is not an Accredited Investor, and cause such Offering Form to be delivered to the Subscription Agent on or before the Rights Offering Expiration Time, and must vote to accept and may not object to the Plan. The Offering Form for each Non-Eligible Offeree must also specify if such Non-Eligible Offeree is a holder of an Allowed Unsecured Notes Claim or an Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claim in order to be eligible to receive the Substitute Distribution available to holders of each of these claims, as described in the paragraphs below. If a Non-Eligible Offeree does not satisfy such requirements, such Non-Eligible Offeree shall be deemed to have forever and irrevocably relinquished and waived the right to receive the Substitute Distribution pursuant to the Plan and these Rights Offering Procedures. Prior to making a Substitute Distribution to a Non-Eligible Offeree, the Reorganized Debtors may require such additional information as they deem necessary to confirm that such Non-Eligible Offeree qualifies as such in accordance with these Rights Offering Procedures.

A holder of an Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claim that is a Non-Eligible Offeree (a “Secured Non-Eligible Offeree”) that votes to accept the Plan and satisfies the conditions set forth herein shall receive, in lieu of the opportunity to participate in the Rights Offering, a Substitute Distribution in an amount equal to a ratio of New Common Shares for a specified amount of Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claims as further described in the Disclosure Statement, subject to the limitations described herein. If the New Common Shares that the Secured Non-Eligible Offerees are actually entitled to receive as a Substitute Distribution would exceed 1.0% of the New Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis as aforesaid, the Substitute Distribution that each such Secured Non-Eligible Offeree receives will be reduced in proportion to the excess. If the New Common Shares that all Secured Non-Eligible Offerees are actually entitled to receive as a Substitute Distribution is less than 1.0% of the New Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis as aforesaid, New Common Shares in the amount of the difference will be distributed to the holders of Allowed Senior Secured Notes Claims, pro rata.

A holder of an Allowed Unsecured Notes Claim that is a Non-Eligible Offeree (an “Unsecured Non-Eligible Offeree”) that votes to accept the Plan and satisfies the conditions set forth herein shall receive, in lieu of the opportunity to participate in the Rights Offering, a Substitute Distribution in an amount equal to a ratio of New Common Shares for a specified amount of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims as further described in the Disclosure Statement, subject to the limitations described herein. If the New Common Shares that the Unsecured Non-Eligible Offerees are actually entitled to receive as a Substitute Distribution would exceed 0.1% of the New Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis as aforesaid, the Substitute Distribution that each such Unsecured Non-Eligible Offeree receives will be reduced in proportion to the excess. If the New Common Shares that all Unsecured Non-Eligible Offerees are actually entitled to receive as a Substitute Distribution is less than 0.1% of the New Common Shares on a fully-diluted basis as aforesaid, New Common Shares in the amount of the difference will be distributed to the holders of Allowed Unsecured Notes Claims, pro rata.

Transfer Restrictions

Any transfer or assignment of the corresponding Senior Secured Notes Claim and/or Unsecured Notes Claim by a Non-Eligible Offeree shall void the right to receive a Substitute Distribution.

VII.

Miscellaneous

Method of Delivery

The method of delivery of the Offering Form, the applicable Purchase Price and any other required documents is at each Eligible Offeree’s option and sole risk, and delivery will be considered made only when actually received by the Subscription Agent. Delivery shall be by mail and shall not be done electronically, and registered mail with return receipt requested, properly insured, is encouraged and strongly recommended. In all cases, you should allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery prior to the Rights Expiration Time.

The risk of non-delivery of the Offering Form, the applicable Purchase Price into the Rights Offering Escrow Account and any other required documents sent to the Subscription Agent in connection with the exercise of the Rights lies solely with the Eligible Offerees, and none of the Debtors, the Reorganized Debtors, the UCC, the Backstop Commitment Parties or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or advisers, including the Subscription Agent, assumes the risk of non-delivery under any circumstance whatsoever.

Issuance

The New Second Lien Convertible Notes to be issued pursuant to the Rights Offering are expected to be delivered to Eligible Offerees that have properly exercised their Rights on or as soon as practicable following the Effective Date. See Section VII. The method of issuance of New Second Lien Convertible Notes to Eligible Offerees who properly exercise their Rights will depend on whether the Eligible Offeree is a QIB, an Accredited Investor that is an Institutional Accredited Investor or an Accredited Investor that is not an Institutional Accredited Investor or a QIB. An “Institutional Accredited Investor” means an Accredited Investor within the meaning of clauses (1), (2), (3) or (7) of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D under the Securities Act.

The New Second Lien Convertible Notes issuable to Eligible Offerees who are QIBs or Institutional Accredit Investors will be issued in book-entry form through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company to the account of their respective Subscription Nominees in which their Senior Secured Notes or the Unsecured Notes were held, to the extent practicable. The New Second Lien Convertible Notes issuable to Accredited Investors who are not Institutional Accredited Investors will be issued in the form of physical certificates in registered form on the books and records of Reorganized CHC or its designee, or in book entry form through DTC if so permitted.

The New Common Shares to be issued in the Substitute Distribution to Non-Eligible Offerees that have complied with the conditions of the Substitute Distribution hereunder are expected to be issued on or as soon as practicable following the Effective Date in book-entry form through the facilities of the Depository Trust Company to the account of their respective Subscription Nominees in which their Unsecured Notes were held, to the extent practicable.

Securities Law and Related Matters

The New Second Lien Convertible Notes issued to the Eligible Offerees participating in the Rights Offering and the New Common Shares issuable upon the conversion thereof (together, the “Securities”) are being offered in the Rights Offering pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and any other applicable federal and state securities laws pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act, and may not be resold or otherwise transferred, without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, or any applicable federal and state securities laws. Therefore, to the extent a certificate is issued in conjunction with the issuance of the Securities, such certificate may contain (or each book entry position shall be deemed to contain) a restricted securities legend in form and substance substantially similar to the following:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, AND ACCORDINGLY THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION THEREFROM.

There is not and there may not be a public market for the Securities, and the Debtors do not intend to seek any listing of the Securities on any national securities exchange or other trading market of any type whatsoever. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the Securities will ever develop or, if such a market does develop, that it will be maintained. Please refer to the Disclosure Statement for more detailed information regarding risks associated with the Rights Offering.

The Substitute Distribution will be distributed pursuant to Section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code and may generally be resold or otherwise transferred without registration under the Securities Act or any other applicable federal and state securities laws.

The Rights Offering is being conducted in good faith and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code. In accordance with section 1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code, a debtor or any of its agents that participates, in good faith and in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code, in the offer, issuance, sale or purchase of a security, offered or sold under the plan, of the debtor, of an affiliate participating in a joint plan with the debtor, or a newly organized successor to the debtor under the plan, is not liable, on account of participation, for violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation governing the offer, issuance, sale or purchase of securities.

Disputes, Waivers, and Extensions

Any and all disputes concerning the timeliness, viability, form, and eligibility of any exercise of Rights, or the right to receive the Substitute Distribution, shall be addressed in good faith by the Debtors, in consultation with the UCC and the Requisite Investors, the determinations of which shall be final and binding. The Debtors, in consultation with the UCC and the Requisite Investors, may (i) waive any defect or irregularity, or permit a defect or irregularity to be corrected, within such times as it may determine in good faith to be appropriate or (ii) reject the purported exercise of any Rights for which an Offering Form and/or payment includes defects or irregularities. Offering Forms shall be deemed not to have been properly completed until all irregularities have been waived or cured. The Debtors reserve the right to give notice to any Eligible Offeree or Non-Eligible Offeree regarding any defect or irregularity in connection with any purported exercise of Rights, or the completion or delivery of any Offering Form, and the Debtors, in consultation with the UCC and the Requisite Investors, may permit such defect or irregularity to be cured; it being understood, that none of the Debtors, the Subscription Agent, or the Backstop Commitment Parties (or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or advisors) shall incur any liability for failure to give such notification.

The Debtors, with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court (if applicable) and the reasonable consent of the UCC and the Requisite Investors, may (i) extend the Rights Offering Expiration Time or adopt additional detailed procedures to more efficiently administer the distribution and exercise of the Rights and/or the distribution of the Substitute Distribution; and (ii) make such other changes to the Rights Offering, including changes that affect which parties constitute Eligible Offerees and/or Non-Eligible Offerees.

Rights Offering and Substitute Distribution Conditioned Upon Effectiveness of the Plan; Reservation of Rights; Return of Rights Offering Amount

All exercises of Rights, and the distribution of the Substitute Distribution, are subject to and conditioned upon the effectiveness of the Plan.

In the event that (i) the Rights Offering is terminated, (ii) the Debtors revoke or withdraw the Plan or (iii) the Effective Date has not occurred by the 31st day after the Bankruptcy Court’s entry of the Confirmation Order (unless such date is extended in accordance with the terms of the Plan Support Agreement or the Backstop Agreement) or the conditions precedent to the occurrence of the Effective Date shall not have been satisfied or waived in accordance with the Plan, the Subscription Agent shall, within five (5) Business Days of such event, return all Rights Offering Funds held in the Rights Offering Escrow Account to each respective Eligible Offeree, without any interest, and, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Rights Offering shall automatically be terminated, and the Rights Offering Funds held in the Rights Offering Escrow Account will be refunded, without interest, to each respective Eligible Offeree as soon as reasonably practicable.
