1.
EFFECTIVENESS; DEFINITIONS.

1.1. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective as of November 2, 2020 and shall terminate  (except  with  respect  to  this  Section 1.1,  Section 1.2,  Section 2.5, Section 2.6(f), Section 2.8, Article 3 and Article 4 which shall survive such termination and continue in full force and effect) upon the earlier of (i) the consummation of the Merger under the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”) and (ii) if the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, then upon the satisfaction of the obligations of NewCo required by the Merger Agreement and the obligations of the parties required by this Agreement; provided that any liability for failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement prior to the termination of this Agreement shall survive such termination.

In the event an ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Investors, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise, or rule of strict construction applied, favoring or disfavoring any Investor by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

2.
AGREEMENTS AMONG THE INVESTORS.

2.1. Actions under the Merger Agreement. Each of the Investors shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause NewCo to comply with all covenants and agreements of NewCo under the Merger Agreement. The approval in writing (e-mail being sufficient) of each of the Investors (excluding any Withdrawing Investor if there is at least one Continuing Investor and such Withdrawing Investor’s obligations have been assumed in accordance with Section 2.3.2) (the “Requisite Investors,” provided, however, that no Investor whose breaches of this Agreement or its Equity Commitment Letter have caused or would reasonably be expected to cause the conditions to NewCo’s obligation to consummate the Merger not to be satisfied shall be a Requisite Investor; and such approval, the “Requisite Investor Approval”) shall be required in order for NewCo to take any action or refrain from taking any action or make any determination under the Merger Agreement or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, including to (i) amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate or agree to an amendment, modification, waiver or supplement to, or termination of, the Merger Agreement, (ii) grant any consent, waiver or approval contemplated or permitted by the Merger Agreement, (iii) terminate the Merger Agreement, (iv) waive any condition to Closing specified in Article VII of the Merger Agreement (each, a “Closing Condition” and, collectively, the “Closing Conditions”), (v) determine whether any Closing Condition has been satisfied or (vi) settle any litigation or permit NewCo to settle any litigation, claim or proceeding (including with respect to any exercise or purported exercise of appraisal rights) arising in connection with, or relating to, the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to compliance by the Arch Investor with its obligations under Section 4.14, if following receipt by NewCo of written notice from the Company of its intent to terminate the Merger Agreement to enter into a definitive agreement providing for a Superior Proposal, the Arch Investor  determines to increase the Merger Consideration to an amount at which the Kelso Investor, the Warburg Investor or both decline to participate (which such decision to proceed or decline shall be given to the Arch Investor by the Kelso Investor or the Warburg Investor within 48 hours of notification from the Arch Investor of its desire to increase the Merger Consideration in response to such Superior Proposal), the restrictions set forth herein having the effect or restricting the Arch Investor from proceeding with such an increase in the Merger Consideration will not apply to or restrict the Arch Investor from proceeding with such increase in Merger Consideration or replacing either the Kelso Investor (if the Kelso Investor declines to participate), the Warburg Investor (if the Warburg Investor declines to participate) or both (if both the Kelso Investor and the Warburg Investor decline to participate), and such declining Investor(s) shall become Withdrawing Investors.

2.2.
Ancillary Documents.

2.2.1.
Each Investor agrees to negotiate in good faith with the other Investors to enter into, concurrently with the Closing certain ancillary agreements (including shareholder agreements) (collectively, the “Ancillary Agreements”), which shall contain terms consistent with those set forth in that certain term sheet dated as of November 2, 2020, agreed among the Investors (the “term sheet”), and such additional or modified terms as mutually agreed upon by the Requisite Investors. NewCo agrees to enter into any such agreements and to enact any such agreements that are so agreed. If for any reason the Investors have not entered into the Ancillary Agreements at or prior to the Closing, the Investors shall operate NewCo and its Subsidiaries (including the Surviving Corporation) in accordance with the term sheet until such time as the Ancillary Agreements shall be in effect.

2.2.2.
Prior to Closing, with the Requisite Investor Approval, NewCo may, or may direct any of its Subsidiaries, to negotiate and enter into definitive agreements with (x) members of management of the Company or any successors thereto with respect to the terms of management’s employment, compensation, equity incentives and/or adopt policies or plans affecting management of the Company or any successors thereto and/or (y) HPS Investment Partners, LLC and its Affiliates with respect to investment management services to the Company and related agreements.

2.2.3.
The Arch Investor agrees that it and/or its Affiliates will enforce the Enstar Voting and Support Agreement in accordance with its terms.


2.3.

Rights of Investors; Commitments.

2.3.1.
Commitments. Each Investor hereby affirms and agrees that it and/or its Affiliate(s) is bound by the provisions set forth in its Equity Commitment Letter and that NewCo, acting at the direction of the Requisite Investors, shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of each of the Equity Commitment Letters in accordance with this Agreement and the terms of the Equity Commitment Letters, but only if the Requisite Investors determine in good faith that the conditions to funding under the Equity Commitment Letters are satisfied or waived. None of the Investors or NewCo shall attempt to enforce, or cause NewCo to enforce, the Equity Commitment Letters until the condition set forth above in this Section 2.3.1 has been satisfied. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.3.1, if the Requisite Investors determine that NewCo does not require all of the Commitments in order to fulfill its obligations in full under the Merger Agreement and to consummate the Merger, then the Requisite Investors shall (except as otherwise agreed in writing between the Requisite Investors) reduce the Commitments of each of the Investors (and/or Affiliate(s)) to such extent, with any such reduction to be applied pro rata among the Investors (and/or Affiliate(s)) based on the amount of their respective Commitments prior to giving effect to such reduction.

2.3.2.
Continuing Investor. If (i) all of the Requisite Investors have determined in good faith that there is a right of NewCo to terminate the Merger Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, (ii) an Investor (a “Withdrawing Investor”) has notified the other Investors in writing (e-mail being sufficient) that it wishes to cause NewCo to exercise such right and (iii) notwithstanding any right of NewCo to terminate the Merger Agreement, an Investor that is not a Withdrawing Investor (a “Continuing Investor”) wishes not to cause the Merger Agreement to be terminated and to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the Continuing Investor(s) shall notify NewCo and each of the other Investors of such wish in writing (any such written notice, the “Continuation Notice”) within two (2) Business Days of its receipt of such notice from the Withdrawing Investor. Following the date of delivery of the Continuation Notice, the Continuing Investor(s) and Withdrawing Investor shall assign the Withdrawing Investor’s participation rights to the Continuing Investor(s) and/or a third party approved by each Continuing Investor and, in connection with the completion of such assignment, the Withdrawing Investor(s) and the Continuing Investor(s) shall cooperate in such reasonable arrangements to permit NewCo and the Continuing Investor(s) to proceed with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and to terminate any liability or obligation of the Withdrawing Investor(s) under this Agreement (other than as specifically set forth in Sections 2.5, 2.9, 4.6, and 4.11, and with respect to breaches of this Agreement by the Withdrawing Investor prior to the date of the completion of such arrangements) and its Equity Commitment Letter; provided, that any assignee of a Withdrawing Investor’s participation rights pursuant to this sentence shall be sufficiently creditworthy (in the good faith determination of such Withdrawing Investor and the Continuing Investor(s)) and shall assume (in a written agreement with such Withdrawing Investor that is acceptable to such Withdrawing Investor and Continuing Investor(s)) all of such Withdrawing Investor’s obligations under its Equity Commitment Letter and (except as provided in this sentence) this Agreement and NewCo shall release such Withdrawing Investor from all of its obligations thereunder. For avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, all other Investors shall remain bound by this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, the assignee of a majority of the participation rights of a Withdrawing Investor pursuant to this Section 2.3.2 shall, with the prior written consent of the Continuing Investor(s), be deemed a Requisite Investor under this Agreement and shall have such corresponding rights and obligations set forth herein.

2.3.3.
Voting Commitment. Each Investor agrees to vote all shares of the Company’s voting securities now or hereafter owned by them, whether beneficially or otherwise, or as to which they have voting power (a) in favor of the adoption and approval of the Merger Agreement and the Statutory Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Merger, and (b) against (and not deliver a written consent with respect to) any Alternative Proposal or any action that is intended to, or would reasonably be expected to, materially impede, interfere with or delay or otherwise materially and adversely affect the Merger or the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, in each case at any meeting of the Company’s shareholders.


2.4.

NewCo and the Arch Investor agree to use their reasonable efforts to keep all Investors reasonably informed, on a current basis, of developments relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, including the anticipated Closing Date and instructions and other relevant information as to the funding of each Investor’s Commitment. NewCo shall provide each Investor with at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice of the anticipated Closing Date under the Merger Agreement. In the event that any Investor (and/or Affiliate(s)) funds its Commitment as contemplated by such Investor’s Equity Commitment Letter, and the Closing does not occur, within three (3) Business Days thereafter, NewCo or Merger Sub, as applicable, shall promptly return all amounts of the funded Commitment to such Investor.

Each Investor shall use its reasonable best efforts to promptly supply and provide, upon request, such information that is complete and accurate in all material respects to any Governmental Authority in connection with filings or notifications under, or relating to, applicable Laws that are required as a result or the Merger Agreement and the related transactions, and shall reasonably cooperate with NewCo and the other Investors in connection with its efforts obtain any Governmental Approvals, in each case to the extent required by Section 6.03 of the Merger Agreement. Each Investor agrees that it will promptly notify the other Investors in writing if at any time or times prior to the termination of this Agreement such information is, to its knowledge, no longer accurate and complete in all material respects and will promptly update such information so that it is, to its knowledge, accurate and complete in all material respects. If any Governmental Authority asserts any objections related  to any Required Regulatory Approval under the Merger Agreement and such objections relate to the activities or investments of an Investor or such Investor’s Affiliates, such Investor will (at its sole expense, subject to reimbursement, if applicable, under Section 2.5) use its reasonable best efforts to resolve such objections and to obtain such Required Regulatory Approval subject to the limitations set forth in the Merger Agreement, which shall not be waived by NewCo with respect to any Investor or its Affiliates without the prior written consent of such Investor.

Prior to the Closing, without the consent of each of the other Requisite Investors, no Investor shall, directly or indirectly, transfer, or cause to be transferred any equity interests it directly or indirectly holds in any of the Company, NewCo, Merger Sub or any of the direct or indirect holding companies through which all the investors will directly or indirectly fund their respective Commitments (excluding for the avoidance of doubt any investment collection vehicles that are wholly owned by some, but not all, of the Investors and through which such Investors will fund their respective Commitments) other than as permitted under the terms of its Equity Commitment Letter; provided that each such assignee shall agree in writing to be subject to the provisions of this Agreement applicable to the Investors; provided, further, that no such assignment will relieve the assigning Investor of its obligations hereunder or under its Equity Commitment Letter.

NewCo and each Investor further agrees that neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall have any right of recovery against any NewCo Related Party, whether by piercing the corporate veil or by a claim against any such Affiliate. Each of NewCo and the Investors acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 4.4 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, the other Investors would not enter into this Agreement.

4.9. Exercise of Rights and Remedies. No delay of or omission in the exercise of any right, power or remedy accruing to any party as a result of any breach or default by any other party under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy, nor shall it be construed as a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach or default, or of any similar breach or default occurring later; nor shall any such delay, omission or waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default occurring before or after that waiver.
