Each Consenting Creditor further agrees that if any applicable trustee or collateral agent, including the Agents, takes any action inconsistent with such Consenting Creditor’s obligations under this Agreement or the Plan, such Consenting Creditor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to direct such administrative agent or collateral agent to cease, withdraw, and refrain from taking any such action.
5.07 Financing Commitments. Subject to the conditions set forth in the DIP Term Sheet, each Consenting Secured Noteholder and Tema, severally and not jointly, agrees to provide (or cause any of its designees to provide) its allocable share of the DIP Facility as set forth in the DIP Term Sheet on the terms and conditions set forth in the DIP Term Sheet.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit the Company Parties or any of the Consenting Creditors from contesting whether any such termination is in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or to seek enforcement of any rights under this Agreement (or any documents, instruments, or agreements related thereto) that arose or existed before a Termination Date. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict (a) any right of any Company Party or the ability of any Company Party to protect and reserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its
23
claims against any Consenting Creditor, and (b) any right of any Consenting Creditor, or the ability of any Consenting Creditor to protect and preserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims against any Debtor or Consenting Creditor.

Any proposed modification, amendment, restatement, or supplement that is not approved by the requisite Parties as set forth above shall be ineffective and void ab initio. No failure or delay by a Party in enforcing any of such Party’s rights under this Agreement will be deemed to be a waiver of such rights. No single or partial exercise of a Party’s rights will be deemed to preclude any other or further exercise of such Party’s rights under this Agreement. No waiver of any of a Party’s rights under this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the Parties.

Exhibit A - 3
| TRANSACTION OVERVIEW | ||
| Overview of the Restructuring: | The Restructuring will be implemented through prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases by the Company to pursue confirmation of the Plan. Votes on the Plan will be solicited from (i) holders of Revolving Credit Agreement Claims, (ii) holders of Secured Notes Claims and (iii) holders of TRA Claims.
As a component of the Restructuring:
(a) the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be extended to the fourth (4th) anniversary of the Effective Date, and the borrowing base of the Revolving Credit Facility shall be reduced to $235 million;
(b) the Convertible Junior DIP Facility (as defined below) shall be converted to 24.15% of the New Common Shares, subject to dilution from the MIP Equity (as defined below);
(c) each Secured Noteholder will receive its Pro Rata share of 68.60% of the New Common Shares, subject to dilution from the MIP Equity, in exchange for all of the Secured Note Claims;
(d) the TRA Holder will receive its Pro Rata share of 4.08% of the New Common Shares, subject to dilution from the MIP Equity, in exchange for all of the TRA Claims;
(e) each holder of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock will receive its Pro Rata share of 1.48% of the New Common Shares, subject to dilution from the MIP Equity and subject to the terms provided herein, in exchange for all of the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock; and
(f) Existing Common Stock and Other Existing Interests shall be cancelled and receive no recovery.
As of the Effective Date (and in connection with the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (f)), the Secured Notes Claims, TRA Claims, Series A Preferred Stock, Series B Preferred Stock, Existing Common Stock, and Other Existing Interests will be cancelled, released, and extinguished and will be of no further force and effect. | |
| Convertible Junior DIP Facility | The Restructuring will be financed by consensual use of cash collateral and a new debtor-in-possession financing facility to ROC in the principal amount of $17.5 million (the “Convertible Junior DIP Facility”), which shall be junior to the Adequate Protection Liens, superpriority liens securing postpetition ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Revolving Credit Agreement Claims and Secured Notes Claims in terms of payment and lien priority as provided herein but senior to all other Claims and Interests. The Company shall be required to enter into (and draw 50% of) the Convertible Junior DIP Facility no later than three (3) Business Days after entry of the Interim DIP Order.
$15 million of the Convertible Junior DIP Facility shall be backstopped by the Secured Noteholders (the “EIG DIP Lenders” and such
backstopped amount, the “EIG DIP Backstop Amount”), and $2.5 million shall be backstopped by the TRA Holder (the “TRA DIP Lenders” and such backstopped amount, the “TRA DIP Backstop
Amount”) (all such participating persons or entities, the “DIP Lenders”). Notwithstanding | |
Exhibit A - 4
| anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary, the TRA DIP Lenders shall have the right (to be exercised in their sole and absolute discretion, which decision must be made and conveyed to the EIG DIP Lenders no later than three (3) Business Days after the execution of the RSA) to subscribe to provide up to $7.5 million of the Convertible Junior DIP Facility (the actual amount of the Convertible Junior DIP Facility that is funded by the EIG DIP Lenders shall be the “EIG Convertible Junior DIP Facility” and the actual amount of the Convertible Junior DIP Facility that is funded by the TRA DIP Lenders shall be the “TRA Convertible Junior DIP Facility”).
The Convertible Junior DIP Facility shall have the other terms and conditions set forth in the term sheet attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “DIP Term Sheet”).
The Debtors shall draw the full amount of the Convertible Junior DIP Facility prior to the Effective Date, subject to the Debtors’ satisfaction of the conditions precedent with respect to each such draw, which, to the extent the maturity thereof does not occur prior to the Effective Date, shall be converted to equity on the Effective Date on the terms provided herein.
