(xii) if the Bankruptcy Court grants relief that is not consistent in any material respect with this Agreement or the Transaction;

(xiii) if the Company files any motion or other pleading with the Bankruptcy Court to approve or otherwise pursue an Alternative Transaction;

(xiv) if the Company enters into an Alternative Transaction or shall have publicly announced its intention to support or pursue, or entered into any agreement to support or pursue, an Alternative Transaction;

(xv) if any of the following shall have occurred: (a) the Company or any affiliate of the Company shall have filed any motion, application, adversary proceeding or cause of action (1) challenging the validity, enforceability, or seek avoidance or subordination of the Notes Claims or (2) otherwise seeking to impose liability upon the Consenting Noteholders, or (b) the Company or any affiliate of the Company shall have supported any application, adversary proceeding or cause of action referred to in the immediately preceding clause (a) filed by another person;

(xvi) if the Bankruptcy Court grants relief terminating, annulling or modifying the automatic stay (as set forth in Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code) with regard to any assets of the Company having an aggregate fair market value in excess of $1 million; or

(xvii) if the Bankruptcy Court or other governmental authority with jurisdiction shall have issued any order, injunction or other decree or taken any other action, in each case, which has become final and non-appealable and which restrains, enjoins or otherwise prohibits the implementation of the Transaction or declares this Agreement or any material provision contained herein to be unenforceable.

For the avoidance of doubt, any right to terminate this Agreement as to the Consenting Noteholders may be exercised only by the Required Consenting Noteholders on behalf of all Consenting Noteholders, and may not be exercised by one or more individual Consenting Noteholders not constituting the Required Consenting Noteholders.

d. Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 7, any and all further commitments, undertakings, agreements, obligations, and covenants of the applicable Parties as to whom this Agreement is terminated hereunder shall be terminated without further liability (except for such agreements, obligations, and covenants that expressly survive such termination), and each Party as to whom this Agreement is terminated shall have the rights and remedies that it would have had, had it not entered into this Agreement, and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Transaction or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement, including with respect to any and all Notes Claims or causes of action. Further, if this Agreement is terminated prior to the Plan Confirmation Order being entered by the Bankruptcy Court, any and all consents or ballots tendered by the Parties subject to such termination shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void from the first instance and shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by the Parties in connection with the Transaction and this

Agreement or otherwise. The Company acknowledges and agrees, and shall not dispute, that during the Chapter 11 Cases (i) the giving of notice of termination, or the exercise of the right to terminate this Agreement, by the Required Consenting Noteholders pursuant to this Agreement shall not be a violation of the automatic stay of Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code (and the Company hereby waives, to the greatest extent possible, the applicability of the automatic stay to the giving of such notice or the exercise of such right to terminate this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) no termination of this Agreement shall relieve any Party from liability for its breach or non-performance of its obligations hereunder prior to the date of such termination; (ii) the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7 shall not be available to any Party whose failure to fulfill any of its material obligations under this Agreement has been the cause of, or resulted in, the occurrence of the proposed termination event; and (iii) nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting the Parties from contesting whether any such termination is in accordance with the terms or to seek enforcement of any rights under this Agreement that arose or existed before the date of such termination. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict any right of the Parties to protect and reserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims against any other Party.

Each Consenting Noteholder hereby further confirms that it has made its own decision to execute this Agreement based upon its own independent assessment of documents and information available to it, as it deemed appropriate and sufficient.

10. Additional Claims and Interests

This Agreement shall in no way be construed to preclude a Consenting Noteholder from acquiring additional claims against or equity interests in the Company (collectively, the “Additional Claims/Interests”). However, in the event a Consenting Noteholder (or any of their respective controlled funds) shall acquire any such Additional Claims/Interests after the date hereof (or holds such Additional Claims/Interests as of the date hereof), such Additional Claims/Interests shall automatically be deemed, without further notice to or action of any Party, to be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

11. Transfer of Claims and Existing Equity Interests

a. Each Consenting Noteholder agrees that, during the RSA Time Period, it will not, directly or indirectly, (i) sell, transfer, pledge, assign, hypothecate, grant an option on, or otherwise convey or dispose of any of its Consenting Noteholder Claims (except in connection with consummation of the Transaction), unless such transferee or other recipient is either a Party hereto or has executed and delivered to the Company and counsel to the Ad Hoc Group a joinder, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Joinder”) or (ii) grant any proxies or enter into a voting agreement with respect to any of the Consenting Noteholder Claims (collectively, a ��Claim Transfer”). A Consenting Noteholder making a Claim Transfer pursuant to this Section 11 is referred to as a “Transferor” and a transferee receiving a Claim Transfer pursuant to this Section 11 is referred to as a “Transferee.” Any Claim Transfer that does not comply with the foregoing shall be deemed void ab initio and of no force or effect (other than pledges, transfers or security interests that such Consenting Noteholder may have created in favor of a prime broker under and in accordance with its prime brokerage agreement with such prime broker).

b. Upon compliance with the requirements of Section 11(a) of this Agreement, (i) with respect to Consenting Noteholder Claims held by the relevant Transferee upon consummation of a Claim Transfer in accordance herewith, such Transferee is deemed to make all of the representations, warranties, and covenants of a Consenting Noteholder set forth in this Agreement as of the date of such Claim Transfer and (ii) the Transferee shall be deemed a Consenting Noteholder, and the Transferor shall be deemed to relinquish its rights (and be released from its obligations) under this Agreement to the extent of its rights and obligations in respect of such transferred Consenting Noteholder Claims. No Consenting Noteholder shall have any liability under this Agreement arising from or related to the failure of its transferee to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (i) this Section 11 shall not preclude any Consenting Noteholder from transferring Notes Claims to affiliates of such Consenting Noteholder (each, a “Consenting Noteholder Affiliate”), which Consenting Noteholder Affiliate shall be automatically bound by this Agreement upon the transfer of such Notes Claims without the requirement that such Consenting Noteholder Affiliate execute a Joinder; and (ii) to the extent that a Consenting Noteholder is acting in its capacity as a Qualified Marketmaker,³ it may transfer (by purchase, sale, assignment, participation, or otherwise) any right, title or interests in Notes Claims that the Qualified Marketmaker acquires after the Agreement Effective Date and with the purpose and intent of acting as a Qualified Marketmaker for such Notes Claims from a holder that is not a Consenting Noteholder without the requirement that the transferee execute a Joinder or otherwise agree to be bound by the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

d. This Section 11 shall not impose any obligation on the Company to issue any “cleansing letter” or otherwise publicly disclose information for the purpose of enabling a Consenting Noteholder to transfer any of its Consenting Noteholder Claims. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the Company and another Party have entered into a confidentiality agreement, the terms of such confidentiality agreement shall continue to apply and remain in full force and effect according to its terms, and this Agreement does not supersede any rights or obligations otherwise arising under such confidentiality agreement.

12. Prior Negotiations

This Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto set forth in full the terms of agreement between the Parties and is intended as the full, complete and exclusive contract governing the relationship between the Parties with respect to the transactions contemplated herein, superseding all other discussions, promises, representations, warranties, agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, between or among the Parties with respect thereto; provided, that any confidentiality agreement between or among the Parties shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms; provided, further, that the Parties intend to enter into the Definitive Documents after the date hereof to consummate the Transaction.

13. Amendment or Waiver

No waiver, modification, supplement or amendment of the terms of this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto shall be valid unless such waiver, modification, supplement or amendment is in writing and has been signed by the Company and the Required Consenting Noteholders; provided, that any term or provision of this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto that expressly requires the consent or approval of a particular Party shall require, as applicable, the written consent or approval of such Party to waive,

As used herein, the term “Qualified Marketmaker” means an entity that (a) holds itself out to the public or the applicable private markets as standing ready in the ordinary course of business to purchase from customers and sell to customers claims against the Company (or enter with customers into long and short positions in claims against the Company), in its capacity as a dealer or market maker in claims against the Company and (b) is, in fact, regularly in the business of making a market in claims against issuers or borrowers (including debt securities or other debt).

amend or modify such term or provision. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto shall be deemed or constitute a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto, whether or not similar, nor shall any waiver be deemed a continuing waiver. Any amendment, waiver, or modification of this Section 13 or the definitions of “Outside Date” or “Required Consenting Noteholders” shall require the written consent of all Parties. Any amendment, waiver, or modification that treats any Consenting Noteholder in a manner that is disproportionally adverse, on an economic or non-economic basis, to the treatment of their Notes Claims relative to other Consenting Noteholders shall also require the written consent of such Consenting Noteholder. In determining whether any consent or approval has been given or obtained by the Required Consenting Noteholders, each then existing Defaulting Creditor and its respective Consenting Noteholder Claims shall be excluded from such determination. Any amendment or modification of this Agreement that requires any Consenting Noteholder to incur any expenses, liabilities or other obligations, or to agree to any commitments, undertakings, concessions, indemnities or other arrangements that could result in expenses, liabilities or other obligations, in each case, except as set forth herein as of the time of such Consenting Noteholder’s execution of this Agreement, shall require the consent of each such impacted Consenting Noteholder in order for such waiver, modification, amendment or supplement.

14. RSA Premium

In consideration for entry into this Agreement, each Consenting Noteholder shall be paid a premium (the “RSA Premium”) payable in cash equal to the accrued interest outstanding as of the Agreement Effective Date under the Notes held by each Consenting Noteholder. The RSA Premium shall be (i) fully earned by each Consenting Noteholder upon execution of this Agreement or a Joinder by such Consenting Noteholder on or before the date (the “RSA Premium Outside Date”) that is the later of (1) five (5) business days after the Agreement Effective Date or (2) such other date as agreed to in writing between the Company and the Required Consenting Noteholders and (ii) paid by the Company on the date on which the applicable Consenting Noteholder executes this Agreement or a Joinder, but in no event later than the RSA Premium Outside Date. For the avoidance of doubt, any RSA Premium shall not reduce the amount of any Notes Claims (including, without limitation, any Notes Claims on account of accrued and unpaid interest), rather shall be in addition to any such Notes Claims. In the event that a Consenting Noteholder acquires additional Notes Claims from a party that is not a Consenting Noteholder or otherwise bound to comply with the terms of this Agreement prior to the RSA Premium Outside Date, such Consenting Noteholder shall be entitled to receive the RSA Premium with respect to such additional Notes Claims.

15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL

EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE EXHIBITS ATTACHED HERETO.

16. Governing Law and Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue

This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to such state’s choice of law provisions which would require the application of the law of any other jurisdiction. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees for itself that any legal action, suit or proceeding against it with respect to any matter arising under or arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment rendered in any such action, suit or proceeding, shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and only to the extent such court lacks jurisdiction, in the New York State Supreme Court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, and by execution and delivery of this Agreement, each of the Parties hereby irrevocably accepts and submits itself to the jurisdiction of such courts, generally and unconditionally, with respect to any such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing consent to jurisdiction and venue, upon any commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases and until the Plan Effective Date, each of the Parties agrees that the Bankruptcy Court shall have jurisdiction over all matters arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto.

17. Specific Performance

It is understood and agreed by the Parties that, without limiting any rights or remedies available under applicable law or in equity, money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of any such breach, including, without limitation, an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder.

18. Reservation of Rights; Settlement Discussions

Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner, waive, limit, impair or restrict the ability of each Party to protect and preserve its rights, remedies and interests. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto, nothing in this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto shall be, or shall be deemed to be or constitute: (i) a release, waiver, novation, cancellation, termination or discharge of the Consenting Noteholders’ Notes Claims; or (ii) an amendment, modification or waiver of any term or provision of the Notes or the Indentures, which are hereby reserved and reaffirmed in full. If the Transaction is not consummated, or if this Agreement is terminated for any reason, the Parties hereto fully reserve any and all of their respective rights and remedies thereunder and applicable law.

This Agreement and the Transaction are part of a proposed settlement of a dispute among the Parties. Nothing herein shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408, any applicable state rules of evidence and any other applicable law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto (as applicable).

19. Headings; Recitals

The section headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not, for any purpose, be deemed a part of this Agreement. The recitals to this Agreement are true and correct and incorporated by reference into this Section 19.

20. Notice

24. [Reserved]

25. Acknowledgement; Not a Solicitation

This Agreement does not constitute, and shall not be deemed to constitute (i) an offer for the purchase, sale, exchange, hypothecation, or other transfer of securities for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (or any other federal or state law or regulation), or (ii) a solicitation of votes on the Plan for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code. The vote of each Consenting Noteholder to accept or reject the Plan shall not be solicited except in accordance with applicable law.

26. Public Announcement and Filings

The Company shall submit drafts to counsel to the Ad Hoc Group of any press releases and public documents that constitute disclosure of the existence or terms of this Agreement or any amendment to the terms of this Agreement at least one (1) business day prior to making any such disclosure, and shall afford such counsel a reasonable opportunity under the circumstances to comment on such documents and disclosures and shall incorporate any such reasonable comments in good faith. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, or the rules of any applicable stock exchange or regulatory body, or in filings to be made with the Bankruptcy Court, no Party or its advisors shall (a) use the name of any Consenting Noteholder in any public manner (including in any press release) with respect to this Agreement, or (b) disclose to any Person, other than advisors to the Company, the principal amount or percentage of any Notes Claims held by any Consenting Noteholder without such Consenting Noteholder’s prior written consent; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the disclosure of the aggregate percentage or aggregate principal amount of Notes Claims held by all Consenting Noteholders. Except as required by applicable law or regulation, or the rules of any applicable stock exchange or regulatory body, or in filings to be made with the Bankruptcy Court, no Party shall, nor shall it permit any of its respective affiliates to, make any public announcement in respect of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or by the Plan Term Sheet without the prior written consent of the Company and the Required Consenting Noteholders (in each case such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, for the avoidance of doubt, any public announcement required to be made by a Consenting Noteholder or its affiliates in its capacity as an ABL Lender or another type of Company creditor or that contains only publicly-available information regarding this Agreement, the Plan Term Sheet or the Transaction shall not constitute a violation of this Section 26.

27. Relationship Among Parties

It is understood and agreed that no Party has any duty of trust or confidence in any form with any other Party, and there are no commitments among or between them, in each case arising solely from or in connection with this Agreement. No prior history, pattern or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Parties shall in any way affect or negate this understanding and agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by any Consenting Noteholder hereto is intended to constitute the Consenting Noteholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture, or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that any Consenting Noteholder is in any way acting in concert or as a member of a “group” with any other Consenting Noteholder within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

28. No Strict Construction

Each Party acknowledges that it has received adequate information to enter into this Agreement, and that this Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto have been prepared through the joint efforts of all of the Parties. Neither the provisions of this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto nor any alleged ambiguity herein or therein shall be interpreted or resolved against any Party on the ground that such Party’s counsel drafted this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto, or based on any other rule of strict construction.

29. Remedies Cumulative; No Waiver

All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party. The failure of any Party hereto to exercise any right, power, or remedy provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at law or in equity, or to insist upon strict compliance by any other Party hereto with its obligations hereunder, and any custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall not constitute a waiver by such Party of its right to exercise any such or other right, power, or remedy or to demand such strict compliance.

30. Severability

If any portion of this Agreement or the exhibits attached hereto shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, unenforceable, void or voidable, or violative of applicable law, the remaining portions of this Agreement and the exhibits attached hereto (as applicable) so far as they may practicably be performed shall remain in full force and effect and binding on the Parties hereto, provided that, this provision shall not operate to waive any condition precedent to any event set forth herein.

31. Time

If any time period or other deadline provided in this Agreement expires on a day that is not a business day, then such time period or other deadline, as applicable, shall be deemed extended to the next succeeding business day.

Such additional Noteholders shall become a Party to this Agreement as a Consenting Noteholder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

33. Rules of Interpretation

For purposes of this Agreement, unless otherwise specified: (a) each term, whether stated in the singular or the plural, shall include both the singular and the plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender shall include the masculine, feminine and the neuter gender; (b) all references herein to “Articles”, “Sections”, and “Exhibits” are references to Articles, Sections, and Exhibits of this Agreement; and (c) the words ‘‘herein,’’ “hereof,” “hereunder” and ‘‘hereto’’ refer to this Agreement in its entirety rather than to a particular portion of this Agreement.

34. Plan Term Sheet

The Plan Term Sheet is expressly incorporated herein by reference and made part of this Agreement as if fully set forth herein. The Plan Term Sheet sets forth the material terms and conditions of the Transaction; provided, however, the Plan Term Sheet is supplemented by the other terms and conditions of this Agreement. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the Plan Term Sheet and any other provision of this Agreement, the Plan Term Sheet will govern and control to the extent of such conflict or inconsistency.

35. Email Consents

Where a written consent, acceptance, approval, extension, or waiver is required pursuant to or contemplated under this Agreement, such written consent, acceptance, approval, extension, or waiver shall be deemed to have occurred if, by agreement between counsel to the Parties submitting and receiving such consent, acceptance, approval, extension, or waiver, it is conveyed in writing (including electronic mail) between each such counsel without representations or warranties of any kind on behalf of such counsel.

Material Terms of the Restructuring

Term		Description
*Overview of the Restructuring*		This Term Sheet is the “Plan Term Sheet” attached as Exhibit A to that certain Restructuring Support Agreement (as the same may be amended, restated, modified, or supplemented in accordance with its terms, the “RSA”), dated as of September 29, 2020 (the “RSA Agreement Date”), by and between the SPN Filing Entities and the Consenting Noteholders party thereto. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Term Sheet have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the RSA. As the following entities may be reorganized on the effective date of the Restructuring pursuant to the Chapter 11 Plan and the Definitive Documents (such date, the “Effective Date”): (i) the SPN Filing Entities shall be referred to collectively herein as the “Reorganized Debtors”; (ii) NAM shall be referred to herein as “Reorganized NAM”; (iii) in the event that the SplitCo Election (as defined below) is not made, Parent shall be referred to herein as “Reorganized Parent”; and (iv) in the event that the SplitCo Election is made, Parent shall be referred to herein as “Reorganized RemainCo”. Unless the Required Consenting Noteholders (or their advisors on their behalf) provide written notice to the SPN Filing Entities (or their advisors) on or before October 15, 2020 (or such later date acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders) that such Noteholders support pursuing the Company Separation (as defined below) in connection with the Restructuring (the “SplitCo Election”), Parent and all of its wholly-owned, domestic and foreign subsidiaries, whether or not a Debtor (collectively, the “Company”), shall not be separated in connection with the Restructuring and, on the Effective Date and subject to the terms and conditions of the Definitive Documents, Parent shall remain the sole owner of the other Reorganized Debtors and the Debtors shall be restructured on a consolidated basis as a single company. In the event that the SplitCo Election is made, on the Effective Date and subject to the terms and conditions of the Definitive Documents, the Company shall be separated (the “Company Separation”) into two (2) companies, Reorganized NAM and Reorganized RemainCo, as follows: (i) Reorganized NAM and its direct and indirect subsidiaries shall own or otherwise control the U.S. service rigs, coiled tubing, wireline, pressure control, pressure pumping, flowback, fluid management and accommodation services lines of the Company, and all assets of Pumpco Energy Services, Inc. (collectively, the “NAM Business”); and (ii) Reorganized RemainCo and its direct and indirect subsidiaries shall own or otherwise control all lines of business of the Company other than the NAM Business.


		Regardless of whether or not the SplitCo Election is made, the Consenting Noteholders constituting Required Consenting Noteholders may, in consultation with the Company, elect at any time prior to the Petition Date to pursue a strategic or other transaction involving the NAM Business (the “Alternative NAM Transaction”). In the event that an Alternative NAM Transaction is pursued, the Plan and other Definitive Documents shall be modified in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Required Consenting Noteholders to reflect the terms of and effectuate the Alternative NAM Transaction. If the SplitCo Election is made, a summary of the steps of the Company Separation shall be included in the Plan Supplement (the “Transaction Steps”).

*Exit ABL Facility & Delayed-Draw Term Loan Facility*		During the RSA Time Period, the SPN Filing Entities shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain ABL Financing Commitments on terms and conditions acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders for both (i) a single exit ABL financing for the Reorganized Debtors and (ii) in the event the SplitCo Election is made, separate exit ABL financings for each of Reorganized RemainCo and Reorganized NAM. Moreover, to ensure sufficient liquidity for the Company in the event that either or both of such ABL Financing Commitments are not obtained, certain of the Consenting Noteholders have committed, pursuant to a commitment letter (the “Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Letter”) executed substantially simultaneously with the RSA, to provide a delayed-draw term loan facility in an aggregate committed principal amount not to exceed $200 million for (x) in the event the SplitCo Election is made, Reorganized RemainCo, or (y) in the event the SplitCo Election is not made, the Reorganized Debtors, in each case on terms and conditions set forth in the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Commitment Letter. In the event that during the RSA Time Period the SPN Filing Entities obtain one or more ABL Financing Commitments that contemplate financial commitments on terms and conditions acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders (including principal amount), then the SPN Filing Entities shall promptly enter into and perform under some or all such ABL Financing Commitments and shall either not pursue consummation of the Delayed-Draw Term Loan Facility or shall pursue such consummation in part, as determined by the Required Consenting Noteholders and permitted under the RSA. In addition to the above, in the event that the SplitCo Election is made, on the Effective Date, Reorganized NAM shall initially be funded with a cash contribution from Reorganized RemainCo in an amount that is acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders; provided that such amount shall be agreed upon prior to the Plan Confirmation Date and set forth in the Plan Supplement.

*Equity Rights Offering*		Subject to conditions set forth herein and the applicable Definitive Documents, all Noteholders will have the right (collectively, the “Subscription Rights”), but not the obligation, to participate in a rights offering, which will be offered pursuant to section 1145 of the Bankruptcy Code or another available exemption under the Securities Act (with the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders) (the “Equity Rights Offering”), of Reorganized Parent Common Stock (as defined below), if the SplitCo Election is not made, or Reorganized RemainCo Common Stock (as defined below) and


		Reorganized NAM Common Stock (as defined below) (together with the Reorganized RemainCo Common Stock and the Reorganized Parent Common Stock, the “Reorganized Debtors Common Stock”), if the SplitCo Election is made, to be issued by Reorganized Parent, Reorganized RemainCo or Reorganized NAM, as the case may be, for up to an amount acceptable to the Required Consenting Noteholders and set forth in the applicable Definitive Documents (the “Equity Rights Offering Amount”) of cash. The Reorganized Debtors Common Stock shall be issued pursuant to the Equity Rights Offering at a discount to be determined by the Required Consenting Noteholders and set forth in the applicable Definitive Documents to the total enterprise value of the Reorganized Debtors or Reorganized RemainCo or Reorganized NAM, as the case may be, as set forth in the Plan. The recipients of the Subscription Rights shall be given oversubscription privileges as set forth in the Definitive Documents. The Reorganized Debtors Common Stock issued (i) to holders of Existing Equity Interests (as defined below), (ii) in connection with the Reorganized Parent Management Incentive Plan (as defined below), the Reorganized RemainCo Management Incentive Plan (as defined below), and the Reorganized NAM Management Incentive Plan (as defined below), as applicable, and (iii) pursuant to the exercise of the Reorganized Parent Warrants (as defined below) and the Reorganized RemainCo Warrants (as defined below), as applicable, in each case, will not be diluted by the Reorganized Debtors Common Stock issued in connection with the Equity Rights Offering. Noteholders shall have the right to subscribe for their pro rata share of the Equity Rights Offering Amount on the basis of their respective holdings of Notes Claims. The proceeds of the Equity Rights Offering shall be used to fund an option (the “Cash-Out Option”) provided to Noteholders to receive a cash distribution (the “Cash-Out Cash Distribution”) in full and final satisfaction of such holder’s Notes Claims, which shall be released and discharged under the Plan, as set forth more fully in the Plan. Each holder of Notes Claims may receive an amount per $1.00 of such holder’s Notes Claims to be determined by the Required Consenting Noteholders and set forth in the applicable Definitive Documents, if such holder elects to exercise the Cash-Out Option. If holders of Notes Claims elect the Cash-Out Option in an amount the result of which would cause the aggregate Cash-Out Cash Distribution to exceed the Equity Rights Offering Amount, then the Cash-Out Cash Distribution will automatically be reduced to the Equity Rights Offering Amount, and any remaining portion of such holder’s Note Claims that is not satisfied through the Cash-Out Option will receive the treatment such holder would otherwise be entitled to if such holder did not elect the Cash-Out Option. For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstance shall the Cash-Out Cash Distribution exceed the amount of the proceeds of the Equity Rights Offering. No Consenting Noteholder shall elect to exercise the Cash-Out Option in respect of any of its Notes Claims. Consummation of the Equity Rights Offering and the delivery of any Cash-Out Cash Distribution is contingent upon the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders. In the event that the Equity Rights Offering is not consummated, then no Cash-Out Cash Distribution will be made to holders of Notes Claims in respect of any Notes pursuant to the Plan.
