Explanatory Note
As previously disclosed,
on March 26, 2024, Gamida Cell Ltd. (the “Company”) entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “Support
Agreement”) with certain funds managed by Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (such funds, collectively, “Highbridge”)
in order to set forth the terms for the restructuring of the Company’s outstanding debt and equity. On March 27, 2024, the Company
commenced a debt arrangement proceeding under Israel’s Bankruptcy and Economic Rehabilitation Law, 5778-2018 and Economic Rehabilitation
Regulations, 5779-2019 (the “Restructuring Proceeding”) in the District Court of Beersheba, Israel (the “Israeli
Court”) to restructure its outstanding debt and equity (the “Debt Arrangement”) under Part 10
of the Israeli Restructuring and Financial Rehabilitation Law, 2018. On May 8, 2024, the Israeli Court entered a Judgment in the Restructuring
Proceeding, which, among other things, (i) approved the Debt Arrangement and other terms and conditions of the Company’s restructuring
as set forth in the Support Agreement, subject to an amendment of section 5.3 of the Debt Arrangement improving the terms of the contingent
value rights (“CVRs”) in accordance with the District Court expert’s recommendation; and (ii) rejected
all of the requests and claims made by certain shareholders of the Company. On April 22, 2024, Abigail Jenkins, solely in her capacity
as a duly authorized foreign representative (the “Foreign Representative”) of Gamida Cell Ltd. filed a petition
for recognition for relief under Chapter 15 of Title 11 (“Chapter 15”) of the United
States Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101-1532 (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the U.S. Bankruptcy
Court for the District of Delaware (“U.S. Court”). The Foreign Representative sought recognition of the Restructuring
Proceeding commenced before the Israeli Court, Case No. 63461-03-24, as (i) a foreign main proceeding or, (ii) in the alternative, a foreign
nonmain proceeding. The Foreign Representative additionally sought recognition and enforcement of the Israeli Court’s order approving
the Debt Arrangement. On May 15, 2024, the U.S. Court issued two orders: (i) granting recognition of the Restructuring Proceeding as the
foreign main proceeding on a final basis; and (ii) recognizing and enforcing the Israeli Court’s order approving the Debt Arrangement
in the territorial jurisdiction of the United States. On May 24, 2024 (the “Effective Date”), the Debt Arrangement
and the U.S. Plan (as defined below) became effective. As a result, Highbridge, through a newly formed holding company, became the owner
of 100% of the Company’s ordinary shares, NIS 0.01 par value (the “Ordinary Shares”), and 100% of the
common stock issued by Gamida Cell, Inc., the Company’s U.S. subsidiary (the “Subsidiary”).

holder in respect thereof), in each case, outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date, were cancelled, discharged and of no further
force and effect. As of the Effective Date, pursuant to the Debt Arrangement, Highbridge, through a newly formed holding company, became
the 100% owner of the ordinary shares of the Company. As the sole holder of all outstanding Ordinary Shares as of the Effective Date,

2. CONTINGENT
VALUE RIGHTS
2.1. CVRs.
The CVRs represent the contractual right of Holders to receive contingent cash payments if and to the extent payable pursuant to this
Agreement. The initial persons entitled to be Holders shall be the holders of Cancelled Ordinary Shares. Each Holder shall be entitled
to one CVR for each Cancelled Ordinary Share pursuant to the Restructuring Plan. Pursuant to the Restructuring Plan, each Holder is automatically
deemed to have accepted the terms of this Agreement and is automatically deemed to be a party hereto as if, and with the same effect as
if, such Holder had delivered a duly executed counterpart signature page to this Agreement without any further action by any party. The
Holders are deemed to hereby acknowledge that the CVRs are not “securities” within the meaning of the Securities Act, Exchange
Act, the Israel Securities Law or any other applicable federal, state or foreign securities laws. The maximum aggregate number of CVRs
that may be outstanding under this Agreement is limited to 153,995,503 (the “Initial CVRs”), which is the number of
CVRs that were issued pursuant to the Restructuring Plan and in accordance with this Section 2.1. The number of outstanding CVRs
at any given time may be less than the number of Initial CVRs, if reduced in accordance with Section 2.6 upon the abandonment of
a CVR. Following the issuance of the Initial CVRs pursuant to the Restructuring Plan, the Company shall not be permitted to issue any
additional CVRs under this Agreement.
2.2. Non-transferable.
The CVRs are non-transferable and may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or in any other manner transferred or disposed
of, in whole or in part, other than through a Permitted Transfer that is reflected on the CVR Register; the foregoing restrictions shall
apply notwithstanding that certain of the CVRs will be held through DTC. Any such sale, assignment, transfer, pledge, encumbrance or disposal
that is not a Permitted Transfer that is reflected on the CVR Register shall be null and void ab initio and of no effect. The CVRs
will not be listed on any quotation system or traded on any securities exchange.
2.3. No
Certificate; Registration; Registration of Transfer; Change of Address.
(a) The
CVRs shall be issued in book-entry form only and shall not be evidenced by a certificate or other instrument.
(b) The
Rights Agent shall keep a register (the “CVR Register”) for the registration of CVRs in a book-entry position
for each Holder. The CVR Register shall set forth the name and address of each Holder and the number of CVRs held by such Holder. The
CVR Register shall be updated as necessary by the Rights Agent to reflect the addition or removal of Holders (including pursuant to any
Permitted Transfers or abandonment pursuant to Section 2.6), upon receipt of such information by the Rights Agent. The Company
may receive and inspect a copy of the CVR Register, from time to time, upon request made to the Rights Agent. The CVR Register will show
one position for Cede & Co. representing all the CVRs held by DTC on behalf of the street holders of the Cancelled Ordinary Shares.
The Rights Agent will have no responsibility whatsoever directly to the street name holders with respect to transfers of CVRs. With respect
to any payments to be made under Section 2.4, the Rights Agent may accomplish the payment to any former street name holders of
Cancelled Ordinary Shares by sending one lump payment to DTC. The Rights Agent will have no responsibilities whatsoever with regard to
the distribution of payments by DTC to such street name holders.
(c) Subject
to the restrictions on transferability set forth in Section 2.2 and subject to the Rights Agent’s bona fide procedures to
validate the identity of a Holder, every request made to transfer a CVR must be in writing to the Rights Agent and accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer and other documentation reasonably requested by the Rights Agent (including documentation establishing that such
Transfer is a Permitted Transfer) in form reasonably satisfactory to the Rights Agent pursuant to its guidelines, which may include a
guaranty of signature by an “eligible guarantor institution” that is a member or participant in the Securities Transfer Agents
Medallion Program, duly executed by the Holder thereof, the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, the Holder’s personal
representative or the Holder’s survivor, as applicable, and setting forth in reasonable detail the circumstances relating to the
transfer. Upon receipt of such written request and proper validation of the identity of such Holder, the Rights Agent shall, subject to
its reasonable determination that the transfer instrument is in proper form, notify the Company that it has received such written notice.
Upon receipt of such notice from the Rights Agent, the Company shall reasonably determine whether the transfer otherwise complies with
the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 2.2), and if the Company so reasonably determines
that it does so comply, the Company shall reply to the Rights Agent in writing with instructions to register the transfer of such CVR
in the CVR Register and notify the Company of the same. Upon receiving such written reply from the Company, the Rights Agent shall register
the transfer of the CVRs in the CVR Register and notify the Company of the same. No service charge shall be made for any registration
of transfer of a CVR, but the Company and the Rights Agent may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp or other tax or
charge that is imposed in connection with any such registration of transfer. The Rights Agent shall have no duty or obligation to take
any action under any section of this Agreement that requires the payment of applicable taxes or charges unless and until the Rights Agent
is satisfied that all such taxes or charges have been paid. No transfer of a CVR shall be permitted or effected unless the Company and
the Rights Agent are satisfied that any and all withholding obligations with respect to Israeli taxes have been met. All duly transferred
CVRs registered in the CVR Register shall be the valid obligations of the Company and shall entitle the transferee to the same benefits
and rights under this Agreement as those held immediately prior to the transfer by the transferor. No transfer of a CVR shall be valid
unless and until registered in the CVR Register.
(d) A
Holder may make a written request to the Rights Agent to change such Holder’s address of record in the CVR Register. The written
request must be duly executed by the Holder. Upon receipt of such written request and proper validation of the identity of such Holder,
the Rights Agent is hereby authorized to, and shall promptly, record the change of address in the CVR Register.
2.4. Payment
Procedures.
(a) Subject
to the remainder of this Section 2.4, if any Milestone is achieved prior to the Milestone Deadline Date, the Company shall, within
thirty (30) Business Days of the achievement of such Milestone, deliver to the Rights Agent a notice (a “Milestone Notice”)
indicating the achievement of such Milestone and that each Holder is entitled to receive its Pro Rata Percentage of the applicable Milestone
Payment.
(b) Subject
to any procedures implemented pursuant to Section 2.7, the Rights Agent shall promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) Business
Days of receipt of funds from the Company as required pursuant to Section 4.2, (i) send each Holder at its registered address
(or, in the case of Cede & Co., pursuant to the applicable procedures of DTC) a copy of such Milestone Notice and (ii) subject to
receipt of cash from the Company in accordance with Section 4.2 and any letter of instruction reasonably required by the Rights
Agent, cause the payment to each Holder of CVRs an amount in cash equal to such Holder’s Pro Rata Percentage of such Milestone Payment
(x) by check mailed to the address of such Holder reflected in the CVR Register as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the date of the
Milestone Notice, (y) with respect to any such Holder who has provided the Rights Agent wiring instructions in writing as of the close
of business on the date of the Milestone Notice and who (I) is due an amount in excess of $10,000 in the aggregate or (II) resides
outside of the United States based on the address for such Holder recorded in the CVR Register, by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the account specified on such instructions (it being understood that the fees for any such wire transfer shall be deducted from
the proceeds otherwise sent to such Holder) or (z) with respect to Cede & Co., by wire transfer of immediately available funds pursuant
to the applicable procedures of DTC. All amounts delivered by the Company shall be delivered in U.S. dollars.
(c) If
any funds delivered to the Rights Agent as Milestone Payments remain undistributed to the Holders on the date that is one year after the
date of the applicable Milestone Notice, the Company shall be entitled to require the Rights Agent to deliver to the Company or its designee
any funds which had been made available to the Rights Agent in connection with such Milestone Payment and not disbursed to the Holders
(without interest), and, thereafter, such Holders shall look only to the Company for the payment of such Holder’s Pro Rata Percentage
of such Milestone Payment (subject to abandoned property, escheat and other similar applicable laws and regulations), calculated as set
forth in Section 2.4(b), only as general creditors thereof with respect to such Pro Rata Percentage of such Milestone Payments
that may be payable.
(d) Neither
the Company, the Rights Agent nor any of their Affiliates shall be liable to any Holder for any portion of any Milestone Payments delivered
to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar applicable laws and regulations. Any amounts remaining
unclaimed by such Holders at such time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to or become property of any governmental authority
shall become, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations, the property of the Company or its designee, free and clear
of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto. In addition to and not in limitation of any other indemnity obligation
herein, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Rights Agent with respect to any liability, penalty, cost or expense the
Rights Agent may incur or be subject to in connection with transferring such property to the Company.
(e) If
a Milestone is not achieved prior to the Milestone Deadline Date, the Company shall, within thirty (30) Business Days of the Milestone
Deadline Date, deliver to the Rights Agent a notice (a “Milestone Non-Achievement Notice”) indicating that such
Milestone has not been achieved. The Rights Agent shall promptly, and in any event within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt, deliver
a copy of such Milestone Non-Achievement Notice to the Holders. The Rights Agent will deliver to the Company a certificate certifying
the date of delivery of such Milestone Non-Achievement Notice to the Holders. If the Rights Agent does not receive from the Acting Holders
a written objection to a Milestone Non-Achievement Notice within thirty (30) Business Days after the date of delivery of such Milestone
Non-Achievement Notice by the Rights Agent to the Holders, the Holders will be deemed to have accepted such Milestone Non-Achievement
Notice, and neither the Company nor its Affiliates will have any further obligation hereunder with respect to such Milestone Payment or
otherwise with respect to such Milestone; provided that the foregoing shall not limit any remedies available to the Holders under
this Agreement with respect to any breach by the Company arising prior to the time such Milestone Non-Achievement Notice is deemed to
be accepted pursuant to this sentence.
2.5. No
Voting, Dividends or Interest; No Equity or Ownership Interest; No Fiduciary Duties.
(a) The
CVRs shall not have any voting or dividend rights, and interest shall not accrue on any amounts payable on the CVRs to any Holder.
(b) The
CVRs shall not represent any equity, stock or other ownership interest in the Company, Gamida Ltd., Gamida Inc. or any of their respective
Affiliates.
(c) Neither
the Company, the Rights Agent nor any of their respective Affiliates, nor any of their respective officers or directors owe or will be
deemed to owe fiduciary or similar duties of any kind to the Holders by virtue of the CVRs or this Agreement.
2.6. Ability
to Abandon CVR. A Holder may at any time, at such Holder’s option, abandon all of such Holder’s remaining rights in a
CVR by transferring such CVR to the Company or any of its Affiliates without consideration therefor. The Company shall notify the Rights
Agent in writing of the abandonment by Holder of such CVR. Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Company or any of its Affiliates
from offering to acquire or acquiring any CVRs for consideration from the Holders, in private transactions or otherwise, in its sole discretion.
Any CVRs acquired by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be automatically deemed extinguished and no longer outstanding for purposes
of the definition of Acting Holders and Article 5 and Article 6. The Company shall notify the Rights Agent in writing of
any such extinguishment of a CVR.
2.7. Tax
Withholding. The Company and its Affiliates (or any agent on their behalf) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Milestone
Payments, such amounts, if any, of tax as they are required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payments or delivery
under any applicable law or regulation. The Company will cooperate in good faith with the Holders to implement payment arrangements in
respect of the settlement of the Milestone Payments (which may include, if and as deemed appropriate by the Company in its sole discretion
(x) approaching the Israel Tax Authority for issuance of a tax ruling governing any withholding obligations in connection with any such
payments and (y) deposit of any such payments with appropriate agents appointed by the Company for receipt and further disbursement of
such payments to Holders (which may, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, result in a delay in such payments being
made to any and all Holders beyond the timelines otherwise set forth in this Agreement), in each case and to the extent legally permissible,
to minimize both the amount of, and the administrative burdens associated with, such deduction or withholding). To the extent that amounts
of tax are so deducted and withheld, such deducted and withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted to the applicable taxing authority within
the time limits imposed by any applicable law or regulation and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Restructuring
Plan as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

final, non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction to be a result of Rights Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct;
(n) in
no event will the Rights Agent be liable for special, punitive, incidental, indirect or consequential damages arising out of or related

such act, omission, default, neglect or misconduct in the absence of gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of the Rights Agent
(each as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) in the selection and continued employment thereof;
(r) notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any liability of the Rights Agent under this Agreement will be limited to the aggregate of
the Initial Set Up fee (as defined and set forth in the Fee Schedule) and the amount of fees paid (not including reimbursed expenses)

including any losses resulting from a default by any bank, financial institution or other third party. The Rights Agent may from time
to time receive interest, dividends or other earnings in connection with such deposits. The Rights Agent shall not be obligated to pay
such interest, dividends or earnings to the Company, any Holder or any other Person, unless there is a diminution of the Funds due to
a deposit or investment made by the Rights Agent, in which case, the Rights Agent agrees that such interest, dividends or earnings shall
accrue to the benefit of the Company to the extent of such diminution of the Fund.
The provisions of this Section
3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement, the resignation, replacement or removal of the Rights Agent and the exercise, termination
and the expiration of the CVRs.
3.3. Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
(a) The
Rights Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Company specifying a date when such resignation shall take
effect, which notice shall be sent at least thirty (30) days prior to the date so specified. The Company has the right to remove the Rights
Agent at any time by specifying a date when such removal shall take effect. Notice of such removal shall be given by the Company to the
Rights Agent, which notice shall be sent at least thirty (30) days prior to the date so specified.
(b) If
the Rights Agent provides notice of its intent to resign, is removed or becomes incapable of acting, the Company shall, as soon as is
reasonably practicable, appoint a qualified successor Rights Agent who shall be a stock transfer agent of national reputation or the corporate
trust department of a commercial bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall fail to make such appointment within a period
of sixty (60) days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the
resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent, then the Acting Holders may apply (if the Rights Agent so elects) to any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. The successor Rights Agent so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment
in accordance with Section 3.4, become the successor Rights Agent.
(c) The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of a Rights Agent and each appointment of a successor Rights Agent through

by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail to the Holders as their names and addresses appear in the CVR Register. Each
notice shall include the name and address of the successor Rights Agent. If the Company fails to send such notice within ten (10) Business
Days after acceptance of appointment by a successor Rights Agent, the successor Rights Agent shall cause the notice to be transmitted
at the expense of the Company. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 3.3, however, shall not affect the legality
or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything else in this Section 3.3, unless consented to in writing by the Acting Holders, the Company shall not appoint as a successor
Rights Agent any Person that is not a stock transfer agent of national reputation or the corporate trust department of an international
commercial bank.
(e) As
long as all fees and charges that are due and payable to the Rights Agent for the performance of services hereunder have been paid in
full, the Rights Agent will cooperate with the Company and any successor Rights Agent as reasonably requested in connection with the transition
of the duties and responsibilities of the Rights Agent to the successor Rights Agent, including transferring the CVR Register to the successor
Rights Agent. The Rights Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Company for costs and expenses related to such transition services.
3.4. Acceptance
of Appointment by Successor. Every successor Rights Agent appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company
and to the retiring Rights Agent an instrument accepting such appointment and a counterpart of this Agreement, and thereupon such successor
Rights Agent, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Rights Agent. On request of the Company or the successor Rights Agent, the retiring Rights Agent shall execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to the successor Rights Agent all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Rights Agent, except for such rights
of the retiring Rights Agent which expressly survive its termination or resignation hereunder.

of Milestone Payments. If a Milestone has been achieved in accordance with this Agreement, the Company shall, promptly (but in any
event no later than ten (10) Business Days) following the delivery of a Milestone Notice, deposit with the bank or financial institution
designated by the Rights Agent, for payment to the Holders in accordance with Section 2.4, the aggregate amount of the applicable
Milestone Payment.
4.3. Books

to enable the Inspector and its consultants or professional advisors to determine the amounts payable hereunder. No review of the Company’s
or any of its Subsidiaries’ records shall be permitted pursuant to this Agreement except as set forth in Section 4.8.
4.4. Further
Assurances. The Company agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged
and delivered, all such further and other acts, instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying
out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement.
4.5. Compliance
Statements. Within sixty (60) days of the end of each calendar year ending after the date hereof and prior to the termination of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 7.8, the Company shall provide the Rights Agent and the Inspector with a written statement setting
forth in reasonable detail the status of each Milestone as of the end of each fiscal quarter during the immediately preceding calendar
year (each, a “Compliance Statement”).
4.6. Actions
in Good Faith. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall act in bad faith for the purpose of avoiding achievement of the
Milestones or the payment of any Milestone Payment.
4.7. Non-Use
of Name. Neither the Rights Agent nor the Holders shall use the name, trademark, trade name or logo of the Company, its Affiliates,

with respect to (a) a dispute pursuant to this Agreement between any of the Holders, the Rights Agent, the Company or its Affiliates,
(b) as required by law or regulation or (c) in the case of the Rights Agent, as necessary to perform the services of the Rights Agent
under this Agreement.
4.8. Inspection
Rights.
(a) Upon
the written request of the Inspector made during the first quarter of each calendar year, but no more than once per calendar year, the
Company shall provide the Inspector with reasonable access during normal business hours to such of the records of the Company and its
Subsidiaries as the Inspector may reasonably request to verify the accuracy of the Compliance Statement and the figures underlying the
calculations set forth therein.
(b) If
the Inspector determines, upon review of any Compliance Statement and any reasonably requested records provided pursuant to Section
4.8(a), that any particular Milestone (i) was not achieved during the calendar year covered by such Compliance Statement, then such
determination shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Company and the Holders and such Milestone shall be deemed for all purposes
of this Agreement not to have occurred during such calendar year, and (ii) was achieved during the calendar year covered by such Compliance
Statement but the applicable Milestone Payment was not paid to the Holders, then the Inspector shall draft a notice to the Holders disclosing
the Inspector’s determination and the Rights Agent shall send such notice (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) to each
Holder at its registered address (or, in the case of Cede & Co., pursuant to the applicable procedures of DTC). If the Inspector (once
appointed) elects not to review any Compliance Statement during the first quarter of the calendar year immediately following the calendar
year covered by such Compliance Statement, then the conclusions contained in such Compliance Statement shall be final, binding and conclusive
on the Company and the Holders. The Inspector shall provide the Company and the Rights Agent with a written statement setting forth the
Inspector’s determination of whether each Milestone has been met during the applicable calendar year promptly following any review
conducted pursuant to this Section 4.8.
(c) All
reasonable and documented fees and expenses of the Inspector in exercising the inspection rights set forth in this Section 4.8

provide the notice to Holder contemplated by Section 4.8(b) or in connection with any dispute pursuant to this Agreement between
any of the Holders, the Rights Agent, the Company or its Affiliates, and (ii) the Inspector will only use any information disclosed by
the Company and its Subsidiaries for the purpose of conducting the inspection contemplated by this Section 4.8.
(e) No
person other than the Inspector shall be entitled to review any records of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the purposes set
forth in this Section 4.8.

Holders, acting on behalf of the Holders; provided that any actions taken by the Acting Holders shall be undertaken in accordance
with applicable law and the provisions of this Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Acting Holders may commence
an arbitration proceeding to protect the rights of the Holders, including to obtain payment for any amounts then due and payable. In the
event that, at any time after the Acting Holders shall have commenced such arbitration proceeding, and before any award shall have been
obtained, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with a bank or financial institution designated by the Rights Agent a sum sufficient
to pay all amounts which shall have become due under this Agreement and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation
to the Rights Agent, its agents, attorneys and counsel (if any), and all Events of Default under this Agreement shall have been cured,
waived or otherwise remedied as provided herein, then and in every such case the Acting Holders, by written notice to the Company and
to the Rights Agent, shall waive all defaults that are the subject of such arbitration proceeding, but no such waiver or rescission and
annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default.
6.2. Rights
upon Certain Insolvency Proceedings Involving the Company. In the event of an insolvency, bankruptcy or similar proceeding of the
Company, Holders shall be entitled to assert claims against the Company in such proceeding and take related actions in pursuit of such
claims with respect to any payment that may be claimed by or on behalf of the Company or by any creditor of the Company. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any Holder to receive payment of the amounts that a Milestone Notice indicates are
payable on or after the applicable due date, or to commence arbitration proceedings for the enforcement of such payment on or after such
date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such
notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder will affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Holders.
7.3. Company
Successors and Assigns. The Company may not directly or indirectly assign any or all of its rights, interests or obligations hereunder
to any person or entity without the prior written consent of the Acting Holders; provided, that the Company may assign, any or
all of its rights, interests and obligations hereunder (a) in its sole discretion and without the consent of any other Person, to one
or more direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Company (but only so long as they remain wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the
Company) (provided that such assignment would not be adverse to the Holders), (b) in its sole discretion and without the consent
of any other Person, to its successor in interest in connection with a Change of Control and (c) to any other person or entity with the
prior written consent of the Acting Holders (each permitted assignee under clause (a), (b) or (c) and any subsequent assignee under the
next sentence, an “Assignee”); provided that the Assignee agrees in a writing delivered to the Rights
Agent to assume and be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the Company’s successors and each Assignee. Subject to compliance with the requirements set forth in this
Section 7.3 relating to assignments, this Agreement shall not restrict the Company’s, any Assignee’s or any of their
respective successors’ ability to merge or consolidate with, or sell, issue, license or dispose of its stock or other equity interests
or assets to, any other Person, or spin-off or split-off. Each of the Company’s successors (including following a Change of Control)
and each Assignee shall, by a supplemental contingent consideration payment agreement or other acknowledgement executed and delivered
to the Rights Agent, expressly assume payment of amounts on all of the CVRs and the performance of every obligation, agreement and covenant
of this Agreement on the part of the Company to be performed or observed. Any Person into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights
Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation to which the Rights
Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the stock transfer or other shareholder service business
of the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution
or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. The purchase of all or substantially all of the Rights
Agent’s assets employed in the performance of transfer agent or corporate trust activities shall be deemed a merger or consolidation
for purposes of this Section 7.3. Any attempted assignment of this Agreement or any rights, interests or obligations in violation
of this Section 7.3 shall be void and of no effect.
7.4. No
Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, shall give to any Person (other than the Rights Agent, the
Company, the Company’s successors and Assignees, each of whom is intended to be, and is, a beneficiary hereunder, and other than
the Acting Holders and the Holders, each of whom is intended to be, and is, a third party beneficiary solely to the extent set forth in
Sections 2.7, 3.3 and 6) any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement or under
any covenant or provision herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the Rights Agent, the Company,
the Company’s successors and Assignees, the Acting Holders and the Holders. Except for the rights of the Rights Agent set forth
herein, the Acting Holders will have the sole right, on behalf of all Holders, by virtue of or under any provision of this Agreement,
to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise (including any arbitration proceeding) upon or
under or with respect to this Agreement, and no individual Holder or other group of Holders will be entitled to exercise such rights.
The Acting Holders must enforce any such legal or equitable rights, remedies or claims under this Agreement against the Company and may
not enforce them against the Rights Agent. The Holders of CVRs shall have no rights except the contractual rights as are expressly set
forth in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Holder may at any time agree to renounce, in whole
or in part, whether or not for consideration, such Holder’s rights under this Agreement by written notice to the Rights Agent and
the Company, which notice, if given, shall be irrevocable, and the Company may, in its sole discretion, at any time offer consideration
to Holders in exchange for their agreement to irrevocably renounce their rights, in whole or in part, hereunder.
7.5. Governing
Law. This Agreement, the CVRs and all actions arising under or in connection herewith and therewith (whether sounding in contract,
tort or otherwise) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, regardless of the laws that
might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of laws thereof.
7.6. Arbitration;
Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial.
(a) Any
dispute, controversy or claim (including any claim for breach hereof) based upon, relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any
transaction contemplated hereby (other than a dispute, controversy or claim asserted against or by the Rights Agent to the extent pertaining
to the Rights Agent’s rights, immunities, liabilities, duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder) shall be resolved by binding
arbitration conducted in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration (“Rules”) of the International Chamber of
Commerce (the “ICC”). The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators, each of whom shall
be independent and a lawyer or retired judge with at least fifteen years’ experience in the pharmaceutical industry. No later than
fifteen (15) days after an arbitration proceeding is commenced under this Section 7.6(a), the Company shall nominate one arbitrator
and the Acting Holders shall nominate one arbitrator, and the two so nominated arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator. If the two
arbitrators cannot or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of their confirmation by the ICC, the third arbitrator
shall be appointed by the ICC in accordance with the Rules. The arbitration shall be administered by the ICC acting through its International
Court of Arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language and the seat, or place, of the arbitration shall be the
city of New York, New York. Hearings shall be conducted in New York, New York, or at such other location as mutually agreed by the Company
and the Acting Holders that are party to the arbitration proceeding. The arbitration award shall be final, conclusive, binding and non-appealable
and shall not be subject to further review by any court. The arbitrator shall have no power to amend or supplement the terms of this Agreement
or act ex aequo et bono. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Each party shall bear his, her
or its own costs of any such arbitration or investigation in respect of any dispute. Any award payable in favor of the Holders as a result
of arbitration shall be distributed to the Holders on a pro rata basis, based on the number of CVRs held by each Holder.
(b) With
regard to any dispute, controversy or claim asserted against or by the Rights Agent to the extent pertaining to the Rights Agent’s
rights, immunities, liabilities, duties, responsibilities or obligations hereunder, each of the parties hereto hereby (i) expressly and
irrevocably submits to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of each United States federal court and New York state court located in the
Borough of Manhattan, in the City of New York, New York, U.S.A. (and the appellate courts thereof) (the “Chosen Courts”),
in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement, (ii) agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction
by motion or other request for leave from any such court and (iii) agrees that it shall not bring any action relating to this Agreement
in any court other than the Chosen Courts; provided that each of the parties hereto has the right to bring any action or proceeding
for enforcement of a judgment entered by such court in any other court or jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and
the Rights Agent may mutually agree to a jurisdiction other than the Chosen Courts for any litigation directly between the Company and
the Rights Agent arising out of or relating to this Agreement. EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY WHICH MAY
ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE SUCH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
7.7. Severability.
In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be illegal, void or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and the application of such
provision to other Persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the parties. The parties further
agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will achieve, to the
extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such void or unenforceable provision; provided, however, that
if any excluded language shall adversely affect rights, immunities, liabilities, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Rights
Agent, the Rights Agent shall be entitled to resign immediately.
7.8. Termination.
This Agreement shall be terminated and of no force or effect, the parties hereto shall have no liability hereunder (other than those rights
of the Rights Agent which shall under the express terms of this Agreement), and no payments shall be required to be made, upon the earliest
to occur of (a) the payment of the full amount of the potential Milestone Payments required to be paid under the terms of this Agreement
pursuant to Section 2.4, and (b) March 31, 2031. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such termination shall affect any rights
or obligations accrued prior to the effective date of such termination (including in respect of breaches of this Agreement by the Company
prior to such termination) or this Section 7, which shall survive the termination of this Agreement, or the resignation, replacement
or removal of the Rights Agent.
7.9. Entire
Agreement; Counterparts. As between the Company and the Holders, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and supersede all
contemporaneous and prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
As between the Company and the Rights Agent, this Agreement, the Fee Schedule and any schedule or exhibit attached hereto constitutes
the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter
hereof and thereof. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute
one and the same instrument. The exchange of a fully executed Agreement (in counterparts or otherwise) by .PDF shall be sufficient to
bind the parties to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
7.10. Force
Majeure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Rights Agent shall promptly notify the Company of and shall
not be liable for any delays or failures in performance of any act, duty, obligation or responsibility by reason of any occurrence beyond
its reasonable control (but only for so long as and to the extent that such occurrence continues) including, without limitation, acts
of God, terrorist acts, epidemics, pandemics, shortage of supply, breakdowns or malfunctions, interruptions or malfunction of any utilities,
communications, or computer facilities, or loss of data due to power failures or mechanical difficulties with information storage or retrieval
systems, labor difficulties, war, or civil unrest. The Rights Agent shall promptly resume performance under this Agreement following the
end of such occurrence.

the Foreign Representative consistent with this Court’s previous Order scheduling a hearing on the Petition, dated April 22, 2024;
and such notice appearing to be adequate for all purposes such that no other or further notice thereof need be given; and no objections

BANKRUPTCY COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF DELAWARE
In re:
Gamida Cell Ltd.1
Debtor in a Foreign Proceeding. |
Chapter 15
Case No. 24-11003 (JKS)
Re. Docket Nos. 5, 6, 22, 29, 37, 38, and 40 |
FINAL ORDER GRANTING MOTION
(I) RECOGNIZING AND ENFORCING THE DEBT ARRANGEMENT
AND ISRAELI CONFIRMATION ORDER PURSUANT TO 11
U.S.C.
§§ 105(a), 1145, 1507(a), 1521,
AND 1525(A), AND (II) GRANTING RELATED RELIEF
Upon consideration of the
motion (the “Motion”)2
of Abigail Jenkins, solely in her capacity as the duly authorized foreign representative (the “Foreign Representative”)
of Gamida Cell Ltd. (the “Debtor”), in its debt arrangement proceeding commenced under the Bankruptcy and Economic
Rehabilitation Law, 5778-2018 (as amended and modified, the “Israeli Insolvency Law”) and Bankruptcy and Economic Rehabilitation
Regulations, 5779-2019 (the “Israeli Regulations”), pending before the District Court in Be’er-Sheva (the “Israeli
Court”), Case No. 63461-03-24 (the “Israeli Proceeding”), seeking an order (i) recognizing and giving full force
and effect and granting comity in the United States to the Debt Arrangement and the Israeli Confirmation Order, (ii) except as otherwise
provided in this Order, permanently enjoying all parties from commencing, continuing, or taking any action in the United States to interfere
with the Debt Arrangement, (iii) declaring to the extent the offer, exchange, and issuance of CVRs under the Debt Arrangement constitute
an exchange of securities under the Securities Act, that such offer, exchange, and issuance is exempt from registration pursuant to section
1145, and (iv) granting such other and further relief as the Court deems just and proper; and this Court having reviewed the Motion and
the statements of counsel with respect to the Motion at a hearing before this Court (the “Hearing”); and this Court
having determined that the legal and factual bases set forth in the Motion and all other pleadings and papers in this Chapter 15 Case
establish just cause to grant the relief ordered herein, and after due deliberation therefor,
| 1 | The Debtor is a company incorporated in Israel and the last
4 digits of its company number are 1204. |
| 2 | Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meaning given to them in the Motion. |
THIS COURT HEREBY FINDS
AND DETERMINES THAT:
A. The
findings and conclusions set forth herein constitute this Court’s findings of fact and conclusions of law pursuant to Rule 7052
of the Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”), made applicable to this proceeding pursuant
to Bankruptcy Rule 9014. To the extent any of the following findings of fact constitute conclusions of law, they are adopted as such.
B. The
Court has jurisdiction to consider this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the Amended Standing Order of Reference
from the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. This is a core proceeding pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 157(b)(2)(P),
and this Court has the statutory and constitutional authority to issue a final ruling with respect to this matter. Venue for this proceeding
is proper before this Court pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1410.
C. The
Foreign Representative, in her capacity as the Foreign Representative of the Debtor, has standing to make the Motion.
D. The
Foreign Representative’s notice of the Motion and opportunity for a hearing was adequate and appropriate under the circumstances
and no other or further notice need be provided.
E. The
Foreign Representative and the Debtor, as applicable, are entitled to the relief granted hereby, including, without limitation, the additional
assistance and discretionary relief requested in the Motion pursuant to section 1507 and 1521(a) of the Bankruptcy Code.
F. The
Foreign Representative and the Debtor, as applicable, are entitled to the Court’s cooperation under section 1525(a) of the Bankruptcy
Code in implementing the Debt Arrangement and the Israeli Confirmation Order in the form of relief granted by this Order on the terms
provided herein. The terms of the Debt Arrangement and Israeli Confirmation Order before the Israeli Court provided creditors and parties
in interest with appropriate due process and are not manifestly contrary to U.S. public policy.
G. The
relief granted hereby: (i) is necessary and appropriate in the interests of the public and international comity; (ii) is consistent with
the laws and public policy of the United States; (iii) is available and warranted pursuant to sections 105(a), 1145, 1507(a), 1521(a),
and 1525(a); and (iv) will not cause the Debtor’s creditors or other parties in interest any hardship that is not outweighed by
the benefits to the Debtor, its creditors and shareholders of granting the relief herein.
H. The
relief granted hereby (i) is necessary to give effect to the Israeli Proceeding, Debt Arrangement, and the Israeli Confirmation Order,
(ii) is an integral element of the Israeli Proceeding, the Debt Arrangement, and the Israeli Confirmation Order, and is necessary to their
effectuation, and (iii) confers material benefits on and is in the best interests of the Debtor, its creditors, its shareholders, and
other parties in interest.
I. Absent
the relief granted hereby, the Israeli Proceeding and the Debtor’s efforts to consummate the Debt Arrangement could be impeded by
the actions of certain creditors and/or other persons, a result that would be contrary to the purposes of Chapter 15 of the Bankruptcy
Code set forth, inter alia, in section 1501(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. If taken, such actions could threaten, frustrate, delay,
and ultimately jeopardize the Israeli Proceeding and implementation of the Debt Arrangement, and, as a result, the Debtor, its creditors,
and other parties in interest would suffer irreparable harm for which there is no adequate remedy at law.
J. Each
of the injunctions contained in this Order (i) is within the Court’s jurisdiction, (ii) is necessary and appropriate to the success
of the Debt Arrangement and the Israeli Confirmation Order, (iii) confers material benefits on, and is in the best interests of the Debtor,
and its creditors and shareholders, and (iv) is important to the overall objectives of the Debtor’s restructuring.
K. Specifically,
the injunctive relief set forth in this Order is appropriate and necessary to prevent the risk that the Debt Arrangement and Israeli Confirmation
Order in the Israeli Proceeding may be thwarted by the actions of particular parties in interest.
L. The
relief granted herein will not cause undue hardship or inconvenience to any party in interest, and to the extent that any hardship or
inconvenience may result to such parties, it is outweighed by the benefits of the requested relief to the Foreign Representative, Debtor,
and its creditors and shareholders.
THIS COURT HEREBY FINDS
AND DETERMINES THAT:
1. The
Motion is granted to the extent provided herein.
2. The
Israeli Confirmation Order and the Debt Arrangement, and any amendments, modifications and exhibits thereto, in each case subject to all

| c. | taking or continuing any act to create, perfect, or enforce a lien or other security interest, set off,

in the United States or in any way attempting to obtain possession or control over any property of the Debtor, other than in a manner
consistent with and/or not in contravention of the terms of the Debt Arrangement, the Israeli Confirmation Order, or this Order; and |

NOW, THEREFORE, it
appearing to the Bankruptcy Court that notice of the Combined Hearing and the opportunity for any party in interest to object to approval
of the Disclosure Statement and Confirmation of the Plan have been adequate and appropriate as to all Entities affected or to be affected
by the Plan and the transactions contemplated thereby, and that the legal and factual bases set forth in the documents filed in support
of approval of the Disclosure Statement and Confirmation of the Plan and the arguments and evidence presented at the Combined Hearing
establish just cause for the relief granted herein, and after due deliberation thereon and good cause appearing therefor, the Bankruptcy
Court hereby makes and issues the following findings of fact, conclusions of law, and orders:
IT IS DETERMINED, FOUND,
ADJUDGED, DECREED, AND ORDERED THAT:
| I. | Findings and Conclusions. |
1. The
findings and conclusions set forth herein and in the record of the Combined Hearing constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s findings of
fact and conclusions of law under Rule 52 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, as made applicable herein by Bankruptcy Rules 7052
and 9014. To the extent any of the following conclusions of law constitute findings of fact, or vice versa, they are adopted as such.
| II. | Jurisdiction and Venue, Eligibility for Relief, Burden of Proof, and Notice. |
2. The
Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction over this Chapter 11 Case pursuant to sections 157 and 1334 of title 28 of the United States Code, 28
U.S.C. §§ 1–4881 (the “Judicial Code”), and the Amended Standing Order of Reference from the
United States District Court for the District of Delaware, dated February 29, 2012. The Bankruptcy Court has jurisdiction to determine
whether the Disclosure Statement and the Plan comply with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and should be approved and
confirmed, respectively. Venue is proper in this district pursuant to sections 1408 and 1409 of the Judicial Code. Approval of the Disclosure
Statement and Confirmation of the Plan are core proceedings within the meaning of section 157(b)(2) of the Judicial Code.
| III. | Commencement of this Chapter 11 Case. |
3. On
the Petition Date, the Debtor commenced this Chapter 11 Case by filing a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy
Code. Since the Petition Date, the Debtor has operated its business and managed its properties as debtor in possession pursuant to sections
1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. No trustee, examiner, or statutory committee has been appointed in this Chapter 11 Case.
4. The
Bankruptcy Court has considered the filings and the record of this Chapter 11 Case. Any resolution of objections to approval of the Disclosure
Statement or Confirmation of the Plan explained on the record at the Combined Hearing is hereby incorporated by reference. All unresolved
objections, statements, informal objections, and reservations of rights (except with respect to unresolved cure amounts, which shall be
resolved in accordance with Article V of the Plan), if any, related to the Disclosure Statement or Confirmation of the Plan, are overruled
on the merits.
| V. | Approval of the Disclosure Statement. |
5. The
Disclosure Statement contains “adequate information” (as such term is defined in section 1125(a) of the Bankruptcy Code and
used in section 1126(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code), and is approved in all respects. The Debtor’s use of the Disclosure Statement
in solicitation of acceptances of the Plan is approved. The filing of the Disclosure Statement satisfied Bankruptcy Rule 3016(b).
| VI. | Solicitation and Voting; Notice. |
6. The
Solicitation Procedures, including all documents related thereto (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Combined Hearing Notice,
the Publication Notice, the Ballots, and the Notice of Non-Voting Status), and the procedures for the tabulation of Ballots, satisfy the
requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules, and are approved in all respects. The Debtor provided
due, adequate, and sufficient notice of the Voting Deadline, the Objection Deadline, and the Combined Hearing in compliance with the Bankruptcy
Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules. No other or further notice is or shall be required.
7. As
described in the Voting Report and the Affidavits, the Debtor transmitted the Solicitation Package, the Combined Hearing Notice, the Notice
of Non-Voting Status, and the Notice of Commencement and Supplemental Combined Hearing Notice to all Holders of Claims and Interests as
of the Voting Record Date and all other parties in interests on or after the Petition Date. Specifically, as described in the Voting Report
and the Affidavits, (a) prior to the Petition Date, the Debtor transmitted (i) the Solicitation Package to Holders of Claims in the Voting
Classes, (ii) the Notice of Non-Voting Status and Combined Hearing Notice to Holders of Claims in Class 1, Class 2, Class 5, Class 6,
and Class 7, and (iii) the Combined Hearing Notice to all other Holders of Claims and Interests, and (b) subsequent to the Petition Date,
the Debtor transmitted the Notice of Commencement and Supplemental Combined Hearing Notice to all other parties in interest. Transmission
and service of the foregoing, and any and all other documents associated with the Debtor’s solicitation, complied with the Bankruptcy
Code (including, but not limited to, 11 U.S.C. § 1125(g)), the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules, and were timely, adequate,
and sufficient, and no other or further notice is or shall be required.
8. The
28-day period during which the Debtor solicited acceptances or rejections of the Plan was a reasonable and sufficient period of time for
Holders of Claims in the Voting Classes to make an informed decision to accept or reject the Plan. The solicitation of votes to accept
or reject the Plan was conducted in good faith and in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules.
The Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, the Consenting Creditors, and each of their respective Affiliates, agents, representatives, members,
principals, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, advisors, and attorneys are hereby granted the protections provided under section
1125(e) of the Bankruptcy Code.
9. Holders
of Claims in Class 3 and Class 4 were eligible to vote on the Plan in accordance with the Solicitation Procedures. The Ballots used to
solicit votes to accept or reject the Plan from Holders in the Voting Classes were appropriate and adequately addressed the particular
needs of this Chapter 11 Case. As evidenced by the Voting Report, 100% of Class 3 and 100% of Class 4 voted to accept the Plan in accordance
with section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code.
10. Class
1, Class 2, and Class 5, are Unimpaired and conclusively presumed to accept the Plan, Class 6 is Unimpaired and conclusively presumed
to accept the Plan or Impaired and deemed to reject the Plan, and Class 7 is Impaired and deemed to reject the Plan (the foregoing Classes,
collectively, the “Non-Voting Classes”). The Debtor was not required to solicit votes from Holders of Claims or Interests,
as applicable, in the Non-Voting Classes.
11. The
solicitation of votes on the Plan complied with the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rules, and Local Rules, and was appropriate and satisfactory
and is approved in all respects.
12. The
procedures for opting in to the Consenting Creditor Release (the “Opt-In Procedures”) set forth in the Ballots, are
good, sufficient, and adequate to establish the applicable party’s consent to the Consenting Creditor Release and are approved in
all respects.
13. The
procedures used for tabulations of elections to opt in to the Consenting Creditor Release are approved in all respects.
14. The
Plan Supplement complies with the Bankruptcy Code and the terms of the Plan, and the filing and notice of such documents were good, proper,
and in accordance with the Bankruptcy Code, the Bankruptcy Rules, and the Local Rules, and no other or further notice is or shall be required
with respect to the Plan Supplement and all of the documents included therein.
15. All
documents included in the Plan Supplement, including any amendments, modifications, and supplements thereto, and all documents and agreements
related thereto (including all exhibits and attachments thereto), are integral to, part of, and incorporated by reference into the Plan
and this Confirmation Order.
16. Subject
to the terms of the Plan, the Restructuring Support Agreement (including any consent rights set forth or incorporated therein), and this
Confirmation Order, the Debtor’s right to alter, amend, update, or modify the Plan Supplement on or before the Effective Date is
reserved. All parties were provided due, adequate, and sufficient notice of the Plan Supplement.
| IX. | Modifications to Plan. |
17. Pursuant
to section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, the modifications to the Plan after solicitation of the Plan, as reflected in the Plan or in this
Confirmation Order (including any modifications announced on the record of the Combined Hearing), constitute technical or clarifying changes,
changes with respect to particular Claims by agreement with Holders of such Claims or their authorized representatives, or modifications
that do not otherwise materially and adversely affect or change the treatment of any other Claim under the Plan. After giving effect to
these modifications, the Plan continues to satisfy the requirements of sections 1122 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, and notice of these
modifications was adequate and appropriate under the facts and circumstances of this Chapter 11 Case. In accordance with Bankruptcy Rule
3019, these modifications do not require additional disclosure under section 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code or the resolicitation of votes
under section 1126 of the Bankruptcy Code, and they do not require that Holders of Claims be afforded an opportunity to cast new votes
on the Plan or change previously cast acceptances or rejections of the Plan. Accordingly, the Plan is properly before the Bankruptcy Court
and all votes cast with respect to the Plan prior to such modification shall be binding and shall apply with respect to the Plan. All
Holders of Claims who voted to accept the Plan or who are conclusively presumed to accept the Plan are deemed to have accepted the Plan
as modified, revised, supplemented, or otherwise amended, and all Holders of Claims and Interests who are conclusively deemed to have
rejected the Plan are deemed to have rejected the Plan as modified, revised, supplemented, or otherwise amended.
| X. | Confirmation of the Plan. |
18. The
Plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, is confirmed pursuant to section 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code. The
Debtor, as proponent of the Plan, has met its burden of proving the applicable elements of sections 1129(a) and 1129(b) of the Bankruptcy
Code by a preponderance of the evidence, which is the applicable evidentiary standard for Confirmation of the Plan.
19. Any
and all objections to the Plan that have not been withdrawn or resolved prior to the Combined Hearing are hereby overruled.
20. The
terms of the Plan, including the Plan Supplement (including all documents included therein and any supplements, amendments, or modifications
thereof in accordance with this Confirmation Order and the Plan), are incorporated by reference into and are an integral part of this
Confirmation Order. The Debtor and Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, are authorized to enter into the Plan, the Plan Supplement, and
any other documents filed in connection with the Plan and/or executed or to be executed in connection with the transactions contemplated
by the Plan, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Exit Facility Documents, and all amendments and modifications thereof made or
to be made in accordance with the Plan and this Confirmation Order. The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor (as applicable) are authorized
to take all actions required under the Plan and the Plan Supplement documents to effectuate the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions
(including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Restructuring Transactions contemplated in the Restructuring Support Agreement and associated
term sheet that are necessary to effectuate the terms of the Israeli Debt Arrangement).
| XI. | Assumption and Assignment of Contracts and Leases. |
21. The
Debtor has exercised sound business judgment in determining whether to reject, assume, or assume and assign each of its Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases pursuant to sections 365 and 1123(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code, Article V of the Plan, and as set forth in the Plan
Supplement.
22. The
provisions governing the treatment of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases set forth in Article V of the Plan (including the procedures
regarding the resolution of any and all disputes concerning the assumption and assignment, as applicable, of such Executory Contracts
and Unexpired Leases) shall be, and hereby are, approved in their entirety.
23. Assumption
of any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease pursuant to the Plan and full payment of any applicable Cure pursuant to Article V.B of the
Plan shall result in the full release and satisfaction of any Cures, Claims, or defaults, whether monetary or nonmonetary, including defaults
of provisions restricting the change in control or ownership interest composition or other bankruptcy-related defaults, arising under
any assumed Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease at any time prior to the effective date of assumption.
24. To
the maximum extent permitted by law, to the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the
Plan restricts or prevents, purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached or deemed breached by, the assumption of such Executory Contract
or Unexpired Lease (including any “change of control” provision), such provision shall be deemed modified such that the transactions
contemplated by the Plan shall not entitle the non-Debtor party thereto to terminate such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to
exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto.
25. The
provisions governing the means for implementation of the Plan set forth in Article IV of the Plan shall be, and hereby are, approved in
their entirety. All documents and agreements necessary to implement the Plan and the Restructuring Transactions, and all other relevant
and necessary documents with respect to the Restructuring Transactions, including: the New Organizational Documents; the Exit Facility
Credit Agreement; to the extent known, the identities of the members of the New Board; the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts; any other
documents contained in the Plan Supplement, and all other relevant and necessary documents, have been or will be negotiated in good faith
and at arm’s-length, are in the best interests of the Debtor, and shall, upon completion of documentation and execution, be valid,
binding, and enforceable documents and agreements.
| XIII. | Notice of Confirmation and the Effective Date. |
26. Within
forty-eight (48) hours of entry of this Confirmation Order, the Debtor shall serve on all parties in interest a copy of this Confirmation
Order. As soon as practicable following occurrence of the Effective Date, the Debtor shall serve on all parties in interest a notice of
occurrence of the Effective Date (the “Effective Date Notice”). Mailing of this Confirmation Order and the Effective
Date Notice in the time and manner set forth in this paragraph shall be deemed good and sufficient notice of entry of this Confirmation
Order and occurrence of the Effective Date and no further notice is or will be necessary.
| XIV. | Effectiveness of All Actions. |
27. All
actions contemplated by the Plan, including all actions in connection with the Plan Supplement, as the same may be modified from time
to time prior to the Effective Date (including, without limitation, any restructuring transaction steps set forth in one or more documents
contained in the Plan Supplement), are hereby authorized to be taken on, prior to, or after the Effective Date, as applicable, without
further application to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, or further action by the respective officers, directors, managers, members, or
equity holders of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, and with the effect that such actions had been taken by the unanimous action,
consent, approval, and vote of each of such officers, directors, managers, members, or equity holders.
28. On
or (as applicable) prior to the Effective Date, the appropriate officers of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall
be authorized and (as applicable) directed to issue, execute, and deliver the agreements, documents, Securities, and instruments contemplated
under the Plan (or necessary or desirable to effect the transactions contemplated under the Plan) in the name of and on behalf of the
Reorganized Debtor, the New Organizational Documents, the Exit Facility Documents, and any and all other agreements, documents, Securities,
and instruments relating to the foregoing. The authorizations and approvals contemplated by Article IV.H of the Plan shall be effective
notwithstanding any requirements under non-bankruptcy law.
29. On
or after the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall execute and deliver the Exit Facility Documents, and such documents shall become
effective in accordance with their terms. Upon execution and delivery, the Exit Facility Documents shall constitute legal, valid, and
binding obligations of the Reorganized Debtor, and shall be enforceable in accordance with their respective terms. Upon execution and
delivery of the Exit Facility Documents, all of the claims, Liens and security interests to be granted in accordance with the Exit Facility
Documents: (a) shall be deemed to be granted; (b) shall be legal, valid, binding, automatically perfected, non-avoidable, and enforceable
Liens on, and security interests in, the applicable collateral specified in the Exit Facility Documents; and (c) shall not be subject
to avoidance, recharacterization, or equitable subordination for any purposes whatsoever and shall not constitute preferential transfers,
fraudulent transfers, or fraudulent conveyances under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable non-bankruptcy law, and the Exit Facility
Agent for the benefit of the lenders under the Exit Facility Loan Agreement shall have a valid, binding, perfected, nonavoidable, and
enforceable first-priority lien on and security interest in the collateral specified in the Exit Facility Documents. The guarantees, mortgages,
pledges, Liens, and other security interests granted to secure the obligations arising under the Exit Facility Documents have been granted
in good faith, for legitimate business purposes, and for reasonably equivalent value as an inducement to the lenders thereunder to extend
credit thereunder and shall be deemed to not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer and shall not otherwise be subject
to avoidance, recharacterization, or subordination for any purposes whatsoever and shall not constitute preferential transfers or fraudulent
conveyances under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable nonbankruptcy law, and the priorities of such Liens and security interests shall
be as set forth in the Exit Facility Documents. The Reorganized Debtor and the persons and entities granted such Liens and security interests
shall be authorized to make all filings and recordings, and to obtain all governmental approvals and consents necessary to establish and
perfect such Liens and security interests under the provisions of the applicable state, federal, or other law that would be applicable
in the absence of the Plan and the Confirmation Order (it being understood that perfection shall occur automatically by virtue of the
entry of the Confirmation Order and any such filings, recordings, approvals, and consents shall not be required), and will thereafter
cooperate to make all other filings and recordings that otherwise would be necessary under applicable law to give notice of such Liens
and security interests to third parties.
| XVI. | Non-Disputed General Unsecured Claims. |
30. Notwithstanding
any provision of the Plan or this Confirmation Order, all General Unsecured Claims that are not Disputed nor Disallowed (Class 5) shall
receive a full recovery by, at the option of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, (i) leaving unaltered the legal, equitable,
and contractual rights of a Holder of a General Unsecured Claim, (ii) paying such General Unsecured Claim in full in Cash on the Effective
Date or as soon thereafter as is practicable, (iii) paying such General Unsecured Claim in a manner agreed to by the Holder of such Claim,
or (iv) reinstating the legal, equitable, and contractual rights of the Holder of an General Unsecured Claim in accordance with section
1124(2) of the Bankruptcy Code.
| XVII. | Discharge, Release, Injunction, Exculpation, and Related Provisions. |
31. The
Debtor has satisfied the business judgment standard with respect to the propriety of the Debtor Release set forth in Article VII.C of
the Plan. The Debtor Release is a necessary and integral element of the Plan, and is fair, reasonable, and in the best interests of the
Debtor, the Estate, Holders of Claims and Interests, and all of the Debtor’s stakeholders. The Debtor Release, provided pursuant
to Article VII.C of the Plan, is: (i) in exchange for the good and valuable consideration provided by the Released Consenting Creditor
Parties, including the Released Consenting Creditor Parties’ contribution to facilitating the Restructuring Transactions and implementing
the Plan; (ii) a good faith settlement and compromise of the Claims released by the Debtor Release; (iii) in the best interests of the
Debtor and all Holders of Claims and Interests; (iv) fair, equitable, and reasonable; (v) given and made after due notice and opportunity
for a hearing; and (vi) a bar to the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or the Debtor’s Estates asserting any Claim or Cause of Action
released pursuant to the Debtor Release.
32. The
Consenting Creditor Release provides finality for the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, and the other Released Debtor Parties regarding
the parties’ respective obligations under the Plan and with respect to the Reorganized Debtor. The Combined Notice, and the Publication
Notice published in The New York Times (national edition) on April 22. 2024, and in USA Today on April 24, 2024, and the
Ballots, the Notice of Non-Voting Status Notice, sent to all Holders of Claims and Interests entitled to vote on the Plan, as applicable,
in each case, unambiguously stated that the Plan contains the Consenting Creditor Release and, where applicable, the procedures for opting
in to such release. The Consenting Creditor Release is consensual and a necessary and integral element of the Plan, and is fair, equitable,
reasonable, and in the best interests of the Debtor, the Estate, and all Holders of Claims and Interests.
33. The
exculpation provided by Article VII.E of the Plan for the benefit of the Exculpated Parties is appropriately tailored to the circumstances
of this Chapter 11 Case.
34. The
injunction provision set forth in Article VII.F of the Plan is necessary to implement, preserve, and enforce the Debtor’s discharge,
the Debtor Release, the Consenting Creditor Release, and the exculpation, and is narrowly tailored to achieve this purpose.
35. The
discharge, release, injunction, exculpation, and related provisions set forth in Article VII of the Plan, as modified herein, including
but not limited to those provisions set forth below, are hereby approved and authorized.
| A. | Discharge of Claims and Termination of Interests. |
Pursuant to section 1141(d) of the
Bankruptcy Code, and except as otherwise specifically provided in the Restructuring Documents, the Plan, or in any contract, instrument,
or other agreement or document created or entered into pursuant to the Plan, the distributions, rights, and treatment that are provided
in the Plan shall be in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release, effective as of the Effective Date, of Claims (including any Intercompany
Claims resolved or compromised after the Effective Date by the Reorganized Debtor), Interests, and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever,
including any interest accrued on Claims or Interests from and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities
of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against, and interests in, the Debtor or any of its assets or properties, regardless of whether any
property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims and Interests, including demands, liabilities,
and Causes of Action that arose before the Effective Date, any liability (including withdrawal liability) to the extent such Claims or
Interests relate to services performed by employees of the Debtor prior to the Effective Date and that arise from a termination of employment,
any contingent or non-contingent liability on account of representations or warranties issued on or before the Effective Date, and all
debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not: (1) a Proof of
Claim based upon such debt or right is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code; (2) a Claim or Interest based
upon such debt, right, or interest is Allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (3) the Holder of such a Claim or Interest
has accepted the Plan. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims (other than the Reinstated
Claims) and Interests subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or in any
contract, instrument, or other agreement or document created or entered into pursuant to the Plan.
Except as otherwise provided in the
Exit Facility Documents, the Plan, the Confirmation Order, or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document created
or entered into pursuant to the Plan, on the Effective Date and concurrently with the applicable distributions made pursuant to the Plan
and, in the case of a Secured Claim, satisfaction in full of the Secured Claim that is Allowed as of the Effective Date, except for Other
Secured Claims that the Debtor elects to Reinstate in accordance with this Plan, all mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other
security interests against any property of the Estate shall be fully released and discharged, and all of the right, title, and interest
of any holder of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security interests shall revert to the Reorganized Debtor and
its successors and assigns. Any Holder of such Secured Claim (and the applicable agents for such Holder) shall be authorized and directed,
at the sole cost and expense of the Reorganized Debtor, to release any collateral or other property of the Debtor (including any cash
collateral and possessory collateral) held by such Holder (and the applicable agents for such Holder), and to take such actions as may
be reasonably requested by the Reorganized Debtor to evidence the release of such Liens and/or security interests, including the execution,
delivery, and filing or recording of such releases. The presentation or filing of the Confirmation Order to or with any federal, state,
provincial, or local agency, records office, or department shall constitute good and sufficient evidence of, but shall not be required
to effect, the termination of such Liens.
To the extent that any Holder of
a Secured Claim that has been satisfied or discharged in full pursuant to the Plan, or any agent for such Holder, has filed or recorded
publicly any Liens and/or security interests to secure such Holder’s Secured Claim, then as soon as practicable on or after the
Effective Date, such Holder (or the agent for such Holder) shall take any and all steps requested by the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor,
or the Exit Facility Agent that are necessary or desirable to record or effectuate the cancelation and/or extinguishment of such Liens
and/or security interests, including the making of any applicable filings or recordings, and the Reorganized Debtor shall be entitled
to make any such filings or recordings on such Holder’s behalf.
| C. | Releases by the Debtor Releasing Parties. |
Notwithstanding anything contained
in the Plan to the contrary, pursuant to section 1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, upon entry of the Confirmation Order and effective as
of the Effective Date, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each Released Consenting Creditor Party is, and is deemed hereby
to be, fully, conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably, and forever released and discharged by each and all of the Debtor
Releasing Parties, in each case on behalf of themselves and their respective successors, assigns, and representatives, from any and all
Claims, obligations, rights, suits, damages, Causes of Action, remedies, and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, including
any derivative claims, asserted or assertable on behalf of any of the Debtor Releasing Parties, that any such Person or Entity would
have been legally entitled to assert in its own right (whether individually or collectively) or on behalf of the holder of any Claim
against or any legal interests, equitable interests, contractual interests or Interests in the Debtor or other Person or Entity, or that
any holder of any Claims or Interests against or in the Debtor or other Person or Entity could have asserted on behalf of the Debtor
Releasing Parties, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole or in part, any of the Debtor Releasing Parties (including
the Debtor Releasing Parties’ capital structure, management, ownership, or operation thereof or otherwise), the subject matter
of, or the transactions or events giving rise to, any Claims or Interests that is treated in the Plan, the business or contractual arrangements
between the Debtor and any Released Consenting Creditor Party, the Debtor Releasing Parties’ in- or out-of-court restructuring
efforts, the purchase, sale, or rescission of any security of the Debtor Releasing Parties, the Chapter 11 Case or the commencement,

implement the Plan or the Restructuring Transactions; or (2) the rights of any holder of allowed Claims to receive distributions under
the Plan.

constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the Debtor Release, which includes by reference

Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in the Plan, upon entry of the Confirmation Order and effective as of the Effective Date, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, each Released Debtor Party is, and is deemed hereby to be, fully, conclusively, absolutely, unconditionally, irrevocably,
and forever released and discharged by each and all of the Consenting Creditor Releasing Parties, in each case on behalf of themselves
and their respective successors, assigns, and representatives, (including any manager or foreign representative appointed in the Israeli

or that any Holder of any Claims or Interests against or in a Released Debtor Party or a Consenting Creditor or other Person or Entity
could have asserted on behalf of a Consenting Creditor Releasing Party, based on or relating to, or in any manner arising from, in whole

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in the foregoing, the releases set forth above do not release: (a) any post-Effective Date obligations of any party or Entity under the
Plan, the Confirmation Order, the Restructuring Documents, or any post-Effective Date transaction contemplated by the Restructuring Transactions
(including under the Exit Facility), or any document, instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Exit Facility) executed
to implement the Plan or the Restructuring Transactions; or (b) the rights of any Holder of Allowed Claims to receive distributions under
the Plan.
Entry of the Confirmation Order shall
constitute the Bankruptcy Court’s approval, pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 9019, of the Consenting Creditor Release, which includes

The Exculpated Parties have, and upon completion of the Plan shall be deemed to have, participated in good faith and in compliance with
the applicable laws with regard to the solicitation of votes and distribution of consideration pursuant to the Plan and, therefore, are
not, and on account of such distributions shall not be, liable at any time for the violation of any applicable law, rule, or regulation
governing the solicitation of acceptances or rejections of the Plan or such distributions made pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the foregoing, the exculpation set forth above relates solely to liabilities on or after the Petition Date

any post-Effective Date transaction contemplated by the Restructuring Transactions (including under the Exit Facility), or any document,
instrument, or agreement (including those set forth in the Exit Facility) executed to implement the Plan.

to exculpation are permanently enjoined, from and after the Effective Date, from taking any of the following actions against, as applicable,
the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, the Exculpated Parties, or the Released Parties: (1) commencing or continuing in any manner any action

(2) enforcing, attaching, collecting, or recovering by any manner or means any judgment, award, decree, or order against such Entities
on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims, Interests, or Causes of Actions; (3) creating, perfecting, or
enforcing any encumbrance of any kind against such Entities or the property or the estates of such Entities on account of or in connection
with or with respect to any such Claims, Interests, or Causes of Actions; (4) asserting any right of setoff, subrogation, or recoupment
of any kind against any obligation due from such Entities or against the property of such Entities on account of or in connection with
or with respect to any such Claims, Interests, or Causes of Actions unless such Holder has filed a motion requesting the right to perform
such setoff on or before the Effective Date, and notwithstanding an indication of a claim or interest or otherwise that such Holder asserts,
has, or intends to preserve any right of setoff pursuant to applicable law or otherwise; and (5) commencing or continuing in any manner
any action or other proceeding of any kind on account of or in connection with or with respect to any such Claims, Interests, or Causes
of Actions released, settled or subject to exculpation pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing,

Upon entry of the Confirmation Order,
all Holders of Claims and Interests and their respective current and former employees, agents, officers, directors, managers, principals,
and direct and indirect Affiliates, in their capacities as such, shall be enjoined from taking any actions to interfere with the implementation
or Consummation of the Plan. Each Holder of an Allowed Claim or Allowed Interest, as applicable, by accepting, or being eligible to accept,
distributions under or Reinstatement of such Claim or Interest, as applicable, pursuant to the Plan, shall be deemed to have consented
to the injunction provisions set forth in this Article VII.F.

provisions are appropriate, fair, equitable, and reasonable, and are in the best interests of the Debtor, the Estate, and Holders of Claims
and Interests.
37. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in the Plan, the Senior Secured Credit Agreement and Unsecured Notes Indenture shall continue in effect solely for purposes
of: (i) allowing Senior Secured Lenders or Holders of Unsecured Notes Claims, as applicable, to receive Distributions under or in connection
with the Plan; (ii) enforcing the rights, claims, and interests of the Senior Secured Agent and Unsecured Notes Trustee, including any

such releases, and all of the right, title, and interest of any Holders of such mortgages, deeds of trust, Liens, pledges, or other security
interests shall revert to the Reorganized Debtor and its successors and assigns.

or closed, whichever occurs first.
| XXI. | Authorization to Consummate. |
42. The
Debtor is authorized to consummate the Plan in accordance with its terms at any time after the entry of this Confirmation Order, subject
to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent in Article VIII of the Plan. The Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable,
including their officers, managers, and directors (including the members of the New Board, as applicable), are hereby immediately authorized,
without further application to or order of the Bankruptcy Court, to enter into and effectuate the Restructuring Transactions and to take

44. Notwithstanding
any provision in the Plan, the Plan Supplement, the Amended Plan Supplement, the Restructuring Support Agreement, the Assumed Agreement
Schedule, this Confirmation Order, or other related Plan documents (collectively, “Plan Documents”):
a. Nothing
discharges or releases the Debtor, the Reorganized Debtor, or any non-debtor from any right, claim, liability, defense or cause of action

to any applicable legal or equitable rights or defenses of the Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, and/or any non-debtor under applicable non-bankruptcy
law, paid, treated, determined and administered in the ordinary course of business as if the Debtor’s bankruptcy case was never
filed and the Debtor and Reorganized Debtor shall comply with all applicable non-bankruptcy law. All rights, claims, liabilities, defenses

the Plan, including the Restructuring Transactions.

to consummate the Plan. Cash payments to be made pursuant to the Plan will be made by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor. The Debtor and
Reorganized Debtor will be entitled to transfer funds between and among themselves as they determine to be necessary or appropriate to
enable the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, to satisfy their obligations under the Plan. Except as set forth herein, any changes
in intercompany account balances resulting from such transfers will be accounted for and settled in accordance with the Debtor’s

Debtor deems appropriate.
E. Sources
of Consideration for Plan Distributions.
The Debtor and the Reorganized
Debtor, as applicable, shall fund distributions under the Plan with: (1) Cash on hand, including Cash from operations; (2) the New Common
Equity; and (3) the Exit Facility.
1. Exit
Facility.
On, or as reasonably practicable
following, the Effective Date, the Reorganized Debtor shall enter into the Exit Facility, pursuant to the Exit Facility Documents.
To the extent applicable,
Confirmation of the Plan shall be deemed (a) approval of the Exit Facility (including the transactions and related agreements contemplated
thereby, and all actions to be taken, undertakings to be made, and obligations to be incurred and fees and expenses to be paid by the
Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, in connection therewith), to the extent not approved by the Bankruptcy Court previously,
and (b) authorization for the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, to, without further notice to or order of the Bankruptcy
Court, (i) execute and deliver those documents and agreements necessary or appropriate to pursue or obtain the Exit Facility, including

law, regulation, order, or rule or vote, consent, authorization, or approval of any Person, subject to such modifications as the Debtor
or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may deem to be necessary to consummate the Exit Facility.
As of the Effective Date,
all of the Liens and security interests to be granted in accordance with the Exit Facility Documents: (a) shall be deemed to be granted;
(b) shall be legal, valid, binding, automatically perfected, non-avoidable, and enforceable Liens on, and security interests in, the applicable
collateral specified in the Exit Facility Documents; and (c) shall not be subject to avoidance, recharacterization, or equitable subordination
for any purposes whatsoever and shall not constitute preferential transfers, fraudulent transfers, or fraudulent conveyances under the
Bankruptcy Code or any applicable non-bankruptcy law, and the Exit Facility Agent for the benefit of the lenders under the Exit Facility
Loan Agreement shall have a valid, binding, perfected, non-avoidable, and enforceable first-priority lien on and security interest in
the collateral specified in the Exit Facility Documents. To the extent provided in the Exit Facility Documents, the Exit Facility Agent
or holder(s) of Liens under the Exit Facility Documents are authorized to file with the appropriate authorities mortgages, financing statements
and other documents, and to take any other action in order to evidence, validate, and perfect such Liens or security interests. The guarantees,
mortgages, pledges, Liens, and other security interests granted to secure the obligations arising under the Exit Facility Documents have
been granted in good faith, for legitimate business purposes, and for reasonably equivalent value as an inducement to the lenders thereunder
to extend credit thereunder and shall be deemed to not constitute a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer and shall not otherwise
be subject to avoidance, recharacterization, or subordination for any purposes whatsoever and shall not constitute preferential transfers
or fraudulent conveyances under the Bankruptcy Code or any applicable nonbankruptcy law, and the priorities of such Liens and security
interests shall be as set forth in the Exit Facility Documents. The Reorganized Debtor and the persons and entities granted such Liens
and security interests shall be authorized to make all filings and recordings, and to obtain all governmental approvals and consents necessary
to establish and perfect such Liens and security interests under the provisions of the applicable state, federal, or other law that would
be applicable in the absence of the Plan and the Confirmation Order (it being understood that perfection shall occur automatically by
virtue of the entry of the Confirmation Order and any such filings, recordings, approvals, and consents shall not be required), and will
thereafter cooperate to make all other filings and recordings that otherwise would be necessary under applicable law to give notice of
such Liens and security interests to third parties.
2. Issuance
of New Common Equity.
On the Effective Date, Reorganized
Debtor shall issue the New Common Equity. The issuance of the New Common Equity by the Reorganized Debtor shall be authorized without
the need for any further corporate action or without any further action by the Holders of Claims or Interests. The Reorganized Debtor
shall be authorized to issue a certain number of shares, units or equity interests (as the case may be based on how the New Common Equity
is denominated) of New Common Equity required to be issued under the Plan and pursuant to its New Organizational Documents and otherwise
consistent with the Restructuring Support Agreement (and the exhibits thereto).
All of the shares, units,
or equity interests (as the case may be based on how the New Common Equity is denominated) of New Common Equity issued pursuant to the
Plan shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable. Each distribution and issuance referred to in Article VI
hereof shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan applicable to such distribution or issuance and by the terms
and conditions of the instruments evidencing or relating to such distribution or issuance, which terms and conditions shall bind each
Entity receiving such distribution or issuance. The New Common Equity will not be registered under the Securities Act or listed on any
exchange as of the Effective Date.
F. Vesting
of Assets in the Reorganized Debtor.
Except as otherwise provided
in the Confirmation Order, the Plan, or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated in, or entered into in connection with
or pursuant to, the Plan, on the Effective Date, all property in the Estate, all Causes of Action, and any property acquired by the Debtor
pursuant to the Plan shall vest in the Reorganized Debtor, free and clear of all Liens, Claims, charges, or other encumbrances. On and
after the Effective Date, except as otherwise provided in the Plan, the Reorganized Debtor may operate its business and may use, acquire,
or dispose of property and compromise or settle any Claims, Interests, or Causes of Action without supervision or approval by the Bankruptcy
Court and free of any restrictions of the Bankruptcy Code or Bankruptcy Rules. For the avoidance of doubt, Reorganized Debtor shall not
be treated as being liable on any Claim that is discharged pursuant to the Plan.

of Existing Securities and Agreements.
On the Effective Date, except
to the extent otherwise provided in the Plan (and with respect to the Unsecured Notes Claims and Unsecured Notes Indenture, as provided
in the paragraph below), all notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents evidencing Claims or Interests shall be canceled, and
the obligations of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor and any non-Debtor Affiliates thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be
discharged and deemed satisfied in full.
Subject to the occurrence
of the Effective Date, all notes, instruments, certificates, and other documents evidencing Claims under the Unsecured Notes Indenture
shall be canceled, and the obligations of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor thereunder or in any way related thereto shall be discharged
and deemed satisfied in full, and the Unsecured Notes Trustee shall be released from all duties thereunder. The Debtor shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to coordinate with the Unsecured Notes Trustee under the Unsecured Notes Indenture for the surrender and cancelation
of the Unsecured Notes; provided that pursuant to the terms of the Plan all Unsecured Notes Claims shall be deemed canceled and
discharged as of the Effective Date.

required by the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, in connection with the Plan shall be deemed to have occurred and shall
be in effect, without any requirement of further action by the Security holders, members, directors, or officers of the Debtor or the
Reorganized Debtor, as applicable. On or (as applicable) prior to the Effective Date, the appropriate officers of the Debtor or the Reorganized
Debtor, as applicable, shall be authorized and (as applicable) directed to issue, execute, and deliver the agreements, documents, Securities,
and instruments contemplated under the Plan (or necessary or desirable to effect the transactions contemplated under the Plan) in the
name of and on behalf of the Reorganized Debtor, including the New Common Equity, the New Organizational Documents, the Exit Facility
Documents, and any and all other agreements, documents, Securities, and instruments relating to the foregoing. The authorizations and

board resolutions, indemnification agreements, employment contracts, or otherwise) as of the Petition Date for the current and former
directors, officers, managers, employees, attorneys, accountants, investment bankers, and other professionals of the Debtor, as applicable,
shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be reinstated and remain intact, irrevocable, and shall survive the Effective

L. Effectuating

On and after the Effective
Date, the Reorganized Debtor, and their respective officers, directors, members, or managers (as applicable), are authorized to and may

M. Section

To the fullest extent permitted

in the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, including the New Common Equity; (2) the Restructuring Transactions; (3) the creation, modification,

tax, mortgage tax, real estate transfer tax, personal property transfer tax, sales or use tax, mortgage recording tax, Uniform Commercial
Code filing or recording fee, regulatory filing or recording fee, or other similar tax or governmental assessment, and upon entry of the
Confirmation Order, the appropriate state or local governmental officials or agents shall forego the collection of any such tax or governmental
assessment and accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments or other documents without the payment of any such tax,
recordation fee, or governmental assessment. All filing or recording officers (or any other Person with authority over any of the foregoing),
wherever located and by whomever appointed, shall comply with the requirements of section 1146(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, shall forego
the collection of any such tax or governmental assessment, and shall accept for filing and recordation any of the foregoing instruments

N. Preservation
of Causes of Action.
In accordance with section
1123(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, but subject to Article VII hereof, the Reorganized Debtor shall retain and may enforce all rights to commence
and pursue, as appropriate, any and all Causes of Action of the Debtor, whether arising before or after the Petition Date, and the Reorganized
Debtor’s rights to commence, prosecute, or settle such Causes of Action shall be preserved notwithstanding the occurrence of the
Effective Date, other than the Causes of Action released by the Debtor pursuant to the releases and exculpations contained in the Plan,
including in Article VII hereof, which shall be deemed released and waived by the Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor as of the Effective
Date.
The Reorganized Debtor may
pursue such retained Causes of Action, as appropriate, in accordance with the best interests of the Reorganized Debtor. No Entity (other
than the Released Parties) may rely on the absence of a specific reference in the Plan or the Disclosure Statement to any Cause of Action
against it as any indication that the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, will not pursue any and all available Causes of
Action of the Debtor against it. The Debtor and the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserve all rights to prosecute any and all Causes of
Action against any Entity, except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, including Article VII hereof. The Reorganized Debtor
may settle any such objection without any further notice to or action, order, or approval of the Bankruptcy Court. Unless any Causes of
Action of the Debtor against an Entity are expressly waived, relinquished, exculpated, released, compromised, or settled in the Plan or
a Final Order, the Reorganized Debtor expressly reserve all Causes of Action, for later adjudication, and, therefore, no preclusion doctrine,
including the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, issue preclusion, claim preclusion, estoppel (judicial, equitable, or otherwise),
or laches, shall apply to such Causes of Action upon, after, or as a consequence of the Confirmation or Consummation.
The Reorganized Debtor reserves
and shall retain such Causes of Action of the Debtor notwithstanding the rejection or repudiation of any Executory Contract or Unexpired
Lease during the Chapter 11 Case or pursuant to the Plan. In accordance with section 1123(b)(3) of the Bankruptcy Code, any Causes of
Action that the Debtor may hold against any Entity shall vest in the Reorganized Debtor, except as otherwise expressly provided in the
Plan, including Article VII hereof. The Reorganized Debtor, through its authorized agents or representatives, shall retain and may exclusively
enforce any and all such Causes of Action. The Reorganized Debtor shall have the exclusive right, authority, and discretion to determine
and to initiate, file, prosecute, enforce, abandon, settle, compromise, release, withdraw, or litigate to judgment any such Causes of
Action and to decline to do any of the foregoing without the consent or approval of any third party or further notice to or action, order,
or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
Article
V
TREATMENT OF EXECUTORY CONTRACTS AND UNEXPIRED LEASES
A. Assumption
of Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.
On the Effective Date, except
as otherwise provided in the Plan, or in any contract, instrument, release, or other agreement or document entered into in connection
with the Plan, or unless such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease (1) expired or terminated pursuant to its own terms before the Effective
Date or (2) is the subject of a motion to reject filed on or before the Effective Date, the Debtor shall be deemed to have assumed each
Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease in accordance with the provisions and requirements of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code.
Without amending or altering
any prior order of the Bankruptcy Court, entry of the Confirmation Order by the Bankruptcy Court will constitute approval of such assumptions
pursuant to sections 365(a) and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code as of the Effective Date. All Assumed Agreements shall remain in full force
and effect for the benefit of the Reorganized Debtor, and be enforceable by the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with their terms notwithstanding
any provision in such Assumed Agreement that prohibits, restricts or conditions assumption, assignment or transfer. Any provision of any
Assumed Agreement that permits a person to terminate or modify such agreement or to otherwise modify the rights of the Debtor or the Reorganized
Debtor, as applicable, based on the filing of the Chapter 11 Case or the financial condition of the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor,
as applicable, shall be unenforceable. To the extent any provision in any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease assumed pursuant to the
Plan (including any “change of control” provision) restricts or prevents, or purports to restrict or prevent, or is breached
or deemed breached by, the Debtor’s assumption of such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease, then such provision will be deemed
modified such that the transactions contemplated by the Plan will not entitle the non-Debtor party or parties thereto to terminate such
Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease or to exercise any other default-related rights with respect thereto. Each Assumed Agreement will
revest in and be fully enforceable by the Reorganized Debtor in accordance with its terms, except as modified by the provisions of the
Plan, any order of the Bankruptcy Court authorizing and providing for its assumption, or applicable law.
B. Cure
of Defaults for Assumed Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases.
Any monetary defaults under
each Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan will be satisfied, pursuant to section 365(b)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code, by payment of the applicable Cure amount in Cash, on the later of (1) the Effective Date and (2) the date such payment
is due pursuant to the terms of the Assumed Agreement, in the amount set forth on the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts, or on such other
terms as the parties to such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease may otherwise agree. If an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease is
not listed on the Schedule of Proposed Cure Amounts, the proposed Cure amount for such Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease shall be
zero dollars. The Debtor is not aware of any Cure amount owed in connection with any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease.
Any objection by a counterparty
to the Cure amount associated with any Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease to be assumed pursuant to the Plan must be filed, served
and actually received by the Debtor by no later than seven (7) days prior to the date of the Confirmation Hearing.1
Any counterparty to an Executory Contract and Unexpired Lease that fails to object timely to the proposed assumption or Cure amount will
be deemed to have assented thereto and will be deemed to have forever released and waived any objection to the proposed assumption or
Cure amount. In the event of a dispute regarding (1) the Cure amount, (2) the ability of the Reorganized Debtor to provide “adequate
assurance of future performance” (within the meaning of section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code) under the Executory Contract or Unexpired
Lease to be assumed or (3) any other matter pertaining to assumption, the applicable Cure payments required by section 365(b)(1) of the
Bankruptcy Code will be made following the entry of a Final Order or orders resolving the dispute and approving the assumption. Any Proof
of Claim filed with respect to an Executory Contract or Unexpired Lease that is assumed shall be deemed disallowed and expunged, without
further notice to or action, order or approval of the Bankruptcy Court.
C. Insurance
Policies.
Each of the Debtor’s
insurance policies and any agreements, documents, or instruments relating thereto, are treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan.
Unless otherwise provided in the Plan, on the Effective Date, (1) the Debtor shall be deemed to have assumed all insurance policies and
any agreements, documents, and instruments relating to coverage of all insured Claims and (2) such insurance policies and any agreements,
documents, or instruments relating thereto shall revest in the Reorganized Debtor.
D. Reservation
of Rights.
Nothing contained in the Plan
shall constitute an admission by the Debtor or any other party that any contract or lease is in fact an Executory Contract or Unexpired
Lease or that the Reorganized Debtor has any liability thereunder. If there is a dispute regarding whether a contract or lease is or was
executory or unexpired at the time of assumption, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, shall have forty-five (45) days
following entry of a Final Order resolving such dispute to alter their treatment of such contract or lease.
| 1 | Immediately upon the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case,
the Debtor will file any objections received by the Debtor prior to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case on the Bankruptcy Court’s
docket on behalf of the objecting party. |
E. Nonoccurrence
of Effective Date.
In the event that the Effective
Date does not occur, the Bankruptcy Court shall retain jurisdiction with respect to any request to extend the deadline for assuming or
rejecting Unexpired Leases pursuant to section 365(d)(4) of the Bankruptcy Code.
F. Contracts
and Leases Entered Into After the Petition Date.
Contracts and leases entered
into after the Petition Date by the Debtor, including any Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases assumed by the Debtor, will be performed
by the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor in the ordinary course of its business. Accordingly, such contracts and leases (including any assumed
Executory Contracts and Unexpired Leases) will survive and remain unaffected by entry of the Confirmation Order.
G. Employee
Compensation and Benefits.
Except as otherwise set forth
herein, on the Effective Date, the Debtor shall (a) assume all employment agreements or letters, indemnification agreements, severance
agreements, or other agreements entered into with current and former officers and other employees or (b) to the extent agreed, enter into
new agreements with such officers and other employees on terms and conditions acceptable to the Debtor, such employee and, in the case
of any executive officer of the Reorganized Debtor and such executive officer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, pursuant to section 1129(a)(13)
of the Bankruptcy Code, from and after the Effective Date, all retiree benefits (as such term is defined in section 1114 of the Bankruptcy
Code), if any, shall continue to be paid in accordance with applicable law.
Subject to the provisions
of the Plan, all Compensation and Benefits Programs shall be treated as Executory Contracts under the Plan and deemed assumed on the Effective
Date pursuant to the provisions of sections 365 and 1123 of the Bankruptcy Code, except for all plans or programs calling for stock grants,
stock issuances, stock reserves, or stock options (including, without limitation, all employee equity or equity-based incentive plans,
and any provisions set forth in the Compensation and Benefits Programs that provide for rights to acquire Existing Interests in the Debtor),
which shall be deemed rejected with regard to such issuances, grants, reserves, and options.
The Debtor shall not assume
any agreements or obligations relating to the Existing Interests, which shall be cancelled as of the Effective Date and shall receive
no payment on account thereof from the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor. For the avoidance of doubt, no provision in any agreement, plan,
or arrangement to be assumed pursuant to the foregoing paragraph relating to the award of equity or equity-like compensation shall be
binding on, or honored by, the Reorganized Debtor. Nothing in this Plan shall limit, diminish, or otherwise alter the Reorganized Debtor’s
defenses, claims, Causes of Action, or other rights with respect to any such contracts, agreements, policies, programs, and plans.
Article

of its attorneys or other professionals.

the Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made to the Holders of such Claims as of the Distribution Record Date. Any transfers of Claims
after the Distribution Record Date shall not be recognized for purposes of the Plan unless otherwise provided herein.
2. Delivery
of Distributions in General.
Except as otherwise provided
herein, distributions payable to Holders of Allowed Claims shall be made by the Disbursing Agent to such Holder at the address for each
such Holder as indicated on the Debtor’s records as of the Distribution Record Date or, if such Holder has identified a Permitted
Designee to the Permitted Designee of each such Holder; provided that the manner of such distributions shall be determined at the
discretion of the Reorganized Debtor.
3. Surrender
of Canceled Instruments or Securities.
On the Effective Date or as
soon as reasonably practicable thereafter, each holder of a certificate or instrument evidencing a Claim or an Interest that has been
canceled in accordance with Article IV.G hereof shall be deemed to have surrendered such certificate or instrument to the Disbursing Agent.
Such surrendered certificate or instrument shall be canceled solely with respect to the Debtor, and such cancelation shall not alter the
obligations or rights of any non-Debtor third parties vis-a-vis one another with respect to such certificate or instrument, including
with respect to any indenture or agreement that governs the rights of the Holder of a Claim or Interest, which shall continue in effect
for purposes of allowing Holders to receive distributions under the Plan, charging liens, priority of payment, and indemnification rights.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, this paragraph shall not apply to certificates or instruments evidencing Claims that
are Unimpaired under the Plan.

as otherwise provided in the Plan or any agreement, instrument, or other document incorporated by the Plan, all distributions of the New
Common Equity to the Holders of the applicable Allowed Claims (or their Permitted Designees) under the Plan shall be made by the Disbursing
Agent on behalf of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor, as applicable.
2. All
distributions of Cash to the Holders of the applicable Allowed Claims (or their Permitted Designees) under the Plan shall be made by the
Disbursing Agent on behalf of the Debtor or Reorganized Debtor.
3. At
the option of the Disbursing Agent, any Cash payment to be made hereunder may be made by check or wire transfer or as otherwise required
or provided in applicable agreements.
F. Allocation
Between Principal and Interest
Distributions to any Holder
of an Allowed Claim shall be allocated first to the principal amount of any such Allowed Claim, and then, to the extent the consideration
exceeds such amount, to the remainder of such Claim comprising interest accrued through the Effective Date, if any (but solely to the
extent that interest is an allowable portion of such Allowed Claim).
G. Securities
Law Matters.
Pursuant to section 1145 of
the Bankruptcy Code, the offering, issuance, and distribution of the New Common Equity, as contemplated by Article III.B hereof, shall
be exempt from, among other things, the registration requirements of section 5 of the Securities Act and any other applicable law requiring
registration prior to the offering, issuance, distribution, or sale of Securities. In addition, under section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code,
such New Common Equity will be freely tradable in the U.S. by the recipients thereof, subject to the provisions of (i) section 1145(b)(1)
of the Bankruptcy Code relating to the definition of an underwriter in section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, (ii) compliance with applicable
securities laws and any rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, if any, applicable at the time of any future
transfer of such Securities or instruments, and (iii) any restrictions in the Reorganized Debtor’s New Organizational Documents.
Recipients of the New Common Equity are advised to consult with their own legal advisors as to the availability of any exemption from
registration under the Securities Act and any applicable Blue Sky Laws.
H. Compliance
with Tax Requirements.
In connection with the Plan,
to the extent applicable, the Debtor, Reorganized Debtor, Disbursing Agent, and any applicable withholding agent shall comply with all
tax withholding and reporting requirements imposed on them by any Governmental Unit, and all distributions made pursuant to the Plan shall
be subject to such withholding and reporting requirements. Notwithstanding any provision in the Plan to the contrary, such parties shall
be authorized to take all actions necessary or appropriate to comply with such withholding and reporting requirements, including liquidating
a portion of the distribution to be made under the Plan to generate sufficient funds to pay applicable withholding taxes, withholding
distributions pending receipt of information necessary to facilitate such distributions, or establishing any other mechanisms they believe
are reasonable and appropriate. The Debtor and Reorganized Debtor reserve the right to allocate all distributions made under the Plan
in compliance with all applicable wage garnishments, alimony, child support, and similar spousal awards, Liens, and encumbrances.
Article
VII
SETTLEMENT, RELEASE, INJUNCTION, AND RELATED PROVISIONS
A. Discharge
of Claims and Termination of Interests.
Pursuant to section 1141(d)

or other agreement or document created or entered into pursuant to the Plan, the distributions, rights, and treatment that are provided
in the Plan shall be in complete satisfaction, discharge, and release, effective as of the Effective Date, of Claims (including any Intercompany
Claims resolved or compromised after the Effective Date by the Reorganized Debtor), Interests, and Causes of Action of any nature whatsoever,
including any interest accrued on Claims or Interests from and after the Petition Date, whether known or unknown, against, liabilities
of, Liens on, obligations of, rights against, and interests in, the Debtor or any of its assets or properties, regardless of whether any
property shall have been distributed or retained pursuant to the Plan on account of such Claims and Interests, including demands, liabilities,
and Causes of Action that arose before the Effective Date, any liability (including withdrawal liability) to the extent such Claims or
Interests relate to services performed by employees of the Debtor prior to the Effective Date and that arise from a termination of employment,

debts of the kind specified in sections 502(g), 502(h), or 502(i) of the Bankruptcy Code, in each case whether or not: (1) a Proof of
Claim based upon such debt or right is Filed or deemed Filed pursuant to section 501 of the Bankruptcy Code; (2) a Claim or Interest based
upon such debt, right, or interest is Allowed pursuant to section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code; or (3) the Holder of such a Claim or Interest
has accepted the Plan. The Confirmation Order shall be a judicial determination of the discharge of all Claims (other than the Reinstated
Claims) and Interests subject to the occurrence of the Effective Date, except as otherwise specifically provided in the Plan or in any
contract, instrument, or other agreement or document created or entered into pursuant to the Plan.
B. Release

and directed, at the sole cost and expense of the Reorganized Debtor, to release any collateral or other property of the Debtor (including
any cash collateral and possessory collateral) held by such Holder (and the applicable agents for such Holder), and to take such actions
as may be reasonably requested by the Reorganized Debtor to evidence the release of such Liens and/or security interests, including the
execution, delivery, and filing or recording of such releases. The presentation or filing of the Confirmation Order to or with any federal,
state, provincial, or local agency, records office, or department shall constitute good and sufficient evidence of, but shall not be required
to effect, the termination of such Liens.

Holder of a Secured Claim that has been satisfied or discharged in full pursuant to the Plan, or any agent for such Holder, has filed
or recorded publicly any Liens and/or security interests to secure such Holder’s Secured Claim, then as soon as practicable on or

to make any such filings or recordings on such Holder’s behalf.

of any kind against any obligation due from such Entities or against the property of such Entities on account of or in connection with
or with respect to any such Claims, Interests, or Causes of Actions unless such Holder has filed a motion requesting the right to perform

Order, all Holders of Claims and Interests and their respective current and former employees, agents, officers, directors, managers, principals,

to, condition such a grant to, discriminate with respect to such a grant against, the Reorganized Debtor, or another Entity with whom
the Reorganized Debtor have been associated, solely because the Debtor has been a debtor under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, has
been insolvent before the commencement of the Chapter 11 Case (or during the Chapter 11 Case but before the Debtor is granted or denied
a discharge), or has not paid a debt that is dischargeable in the Chapter 11 Case.

MODIFICATION, REVOCATION, OR WITHDRAWAL OF THE PLAN
A. Modification
and Amendments.
Except as otherwise specifically
provided in this Plan and subject to the consent rights set forth in the Restructuring Support Agreement (which are incorporated herein
pursuant to Article I.H), (a) the Debtor, with the consent of the Consenting Creditors, reserves the right to modify the Plan, whether
such modification is material or immaterial, and seek Confirmation consistent with the Bankruptcy Code and, as appropriate, not resolicit
votes on such modified Plan, and (b) after the entry of the Confirmation Order, the Debtor or the Reorganized Debtor, as applicable, may,
after notice and hearing and entry of an order of the Bankruptcy Court, amend, supplement, amend and restate, or otherwise modify the
Plan in accordance with section 1127(b) of the Bankruptcy Code or remedy any defect or omission or reconcile any inconsistency in the
Plan in such manner as may be necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of the Plan. Subject to those restrictions on modifications
set forth in the Plan and the requirements of section 1127 of the Bankruptcy Code, Bankruptcy Rule 3019, and, to the extent applicable,
sections 1122, 1123, and 1125 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtor, with the consent of the Consenting Creditors, expressly reserves its
rights to revoke or withdraw, or to alter, amend, or modify the Plan one or more times, after Confirmation, and, to the extent necessary
may initiate proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court to so alter, amend, or modify the Plan, or remedy any defect or omission, or reconcile
any inconsistencies in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or the Confirmation Order, in such matters as may be necessary to carry out
the purposes and intent of the Plan.
B. Effect
of Confirmation on Modifications.
Entry of the Confirmation
Order shall mean that all modifications or amendments to the Plan since the solicitation thereof are approved pursuant to section 1127(a)
of the Bankruptcy Code and shall constitute a finding that such modifications or amendments to the Plan do not require additional disclosure
or resolicitation under Bankruptcy Rule 3019.
C. Revocation
or Withdrawal of Plan.
To the extent permitted by
the Restructuring Support Agreement and subject to the consent rights therein (which are incorporated herein pursuant to Article I.H),
the Debtor, with the consent of the Consenting Creditors, reserves the right to revoke or withdraw the Plan prior to the Confirmation
Date and to File subsequent plans of reorganization. If the Debtor revokes or withdraws the Plan, or if Confirmation or Consummation does
not occur, then: (1) the Plan shall be null and void in all respects; (2) any settlement or compromise embodied in the Plan (including
the fixing or limiting to an amount certain, and including the Allowance or disallowance, of all or any portion of any Claim or Interest
or Class of Claims or Interests), assumption or rejection of Executory Contracts or Unexpired Leases effected under the Plan, and any
document or agreement executed pursuant to the Plan, shall be deemed null and void; and (3) nothing contained in the Plan shall: (a) constitute
a waiver or release of any Claims or Interests; (b) prejudice in any manner the rights of the Debtor or any other Entity; or (c) constitute
an admission, acknowledgement, offer, or undertaking of any sort by the Debtor or any other Entity.

F. Term
of Injunctions or Stays.
Unless otherwise provided
in the Plan or in the Confirmation Order, all injunctions or stays in effect in the Chapter 11 Case pursuant to sections 105 or 362 of
the Bankruptcy Code or any order of the Bankruptcy Court, and extant on the Confirmation Date (excluding any injunctions or stays contained
in the Plan or the Confirmation Order) shall remain in full force and effect until the Effective Date. All injunctions or stays contained
in the Plan or the Confirmation Order shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
G. Entire
Agreement.
Except as otherwise indicated,
the Plan supersedes all previous and contemporaneous negotiations, promises, covenants, agreements, understandings, and representations
on such subjects, all of which have become merged and integrated into the Plan.
H. Nonseverability
of Plan Provisions.
If, prior to Confirmation,
any term or provision of the Plan is held by the Bankruptcy Court to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the Bankruptcy Court shall have
the power to alter and interpret such term or provision to make it valid or enforceable to the maximum extent practicable, consistent
with the original purpose of the term or provision held to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, and such term or provision shall then be
applicable as altered or interpreted; provided, however, any such alteration or interpretation shall be acceptable to the
Debtor. Notwithstanding any such holding, alteration, or interpretation, the remainder of the terms and provisions of the Plan will remain
in full force and effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated by such holding, alteration, or interpretation. The
Confirmation Order shall constitute a judicial determination and shall provide that each term and provision of the Plan, as it may have
been altered or interpreted in accordance with the foregoing, is: (1) valid and enforceable pursuant to its terms; (2) integral to the
Plan and may not be deleted or modified without the Debtor’s or Reorganized Debtor’s and Consenting Creditors’ consent,
as applicable; and (3) nonseverable and mutually dependent.
I. Waiver
or Estoppel.
Each Holder of a Claim or
an Interest shall be deemed to have waived any right to assert any argument, including the right to argue that its Claim or Interest should
be Allowed in a certain amount, in a certain priority, secured or not subordinated by virtue of an agreement made with the Debtor or its
counsel, or any other Entity, if such agreement was not disclosed in the Plan, the Disclosure Statement, or papers Filed with the Bankruptcy
Court prior to the Confirmation Date.
