the "Existing Notes"). Eligible Holders of 2029 Notes that participate in the New Money Notes Issuance (as defined below) will be able to exchange such 2029 Notes for newly issued 9.000% Senior Secured First Lien Notes due 2032 (the

the Company is soliciting consents (the "Consents" and such solicitations, the "Consent Solicitations") from Eligible Holders of the Existing Notes to adopt certain proposed amendments to the indentures governing the Existing
Notes (the "Existing Notes Indentures") to eliminate substantially all of the affirmative and negative covenants, eliminate certain events of default, modify covenants regarding mergers and consolidations and modify or eliminate certain
other provisions contained in the Existing Notes Indentures, including provisions related to defeasance (collectively, the "Proposed Amendments").
In connection with the Exchange Offer for the 2029 Notes, the Company is also offering $326.25 million in aggregate principal amount of newly issued
First Lien Notes for cash (the "New Money Notes Issuance" and, together with the Exchange Offers, collectively, the "Offers"). The New Notes will be issued by the Company and guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the
Company's existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (including each subsidiary guarantor of the Existing Notes). Each Eligible Holder of 2029 Notes (other than the Backstop Parties (as defined below)) will only be entitled to
receive the New Money Participant Early Exchange Consideration if they tender their 2029 Notes at or prior to the Early Exchange Time (as defined below) and deliver in cash their pro rata cash portion of $65.25 million in aggregate principal
amount of First Lien Notes to the Exchange Agent by the Funding Date (as defined below).
The Company's obligation to accept for exchange Existing
Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and to complete the New Money Notes Issuance pursuant to the Offers and related Consent Solicitations is subject to the satisfaction or, if permitted, waiver of certain conditions set forth in the
confidential offering memorandum and consent solicitation statement, dated May 22, 2026 (the "Offering Memorandum"). Capitalized terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Offering
On May 11, 2026, the Company entered into a Commitment and Consent Letter (the "Commitment Agreement") with certain holders
of Existing Notes and certain of the Company's existing lenders (collectively, the "Commitment Parties" and each, a "Commitment Party"), pursuant to which, among other things, each Commitment Party agreed to tender
their Existing Notes in the Exchange Offers and deliver their Consents in respect thereof in the Consent Solicitations. Pursuant to the Commitment Agreement, the applicable Commitment Parties have
committed to tender approximately all of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of 2029 Notes and
approximately 83% of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of 2030 Notes, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Commitment Agreement and provide their consent to the Proposed Amendments in the Consent Solicitations.
In addition, certain of the Commitment Parties (the "Backstop Parties") have agreed to purchase (i) their agreed percentage of an aggregate principal amount of $261.0 million of the New Money First Lien Notes, at a price equal
to par, and (ii) up to an additional $65.25 million of First Lien Notes, at a price equal to par, to the extent such amount is not purchased in the New Money Notes Issuance by Eligible Holders of the 2029 Notes who are not Backstop
Parties, subject to the consummation of the Offers and Consent Solicitations and the satisfaction of certain other conditions (the "Backstop Commitment"). In consideration for the Backstop Commitment, the Company will pay to the Backstop
Parties a cash premium equal to 3.5% of all of the New Money First Lien Notes.

P.M., New York City time, on June 22, 2026, unless extended (such time and date as it may be extended, the "Expiration Time"), or earlier terminated. To be eligible to receive the Early Exchange Consideration, Eligible Holders must
tender their Existing Notes at or prior to 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 9, 2026, unless extended by the Company (such time and date as it may be extended, the "Early Exchange Time"). In addition, Eligible Holders of 2029 Notes
who wish to receive the New Money Participant Early Exchange Consideration must deliver in cash an amount equal to the purchase price therefor by 5:00 P.M., New York City time, on June 10, 2026, unless extended (such time and date as it may be

time, on June 9, 2026, unless extended (such time and date as it may be extended, the "Withdrawal Deadline"), except for certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law. Each Eligible Holder that
tenders Existing Notes into the Exchange Offers will be deemed to have given its Consent to the Proposed Amendments with respect to those tendered Existing Notes.
No additional consideration will be paid for Consents. Subject to applicable law, the Early Exchange Time, the Expiration Time, the Funding Date or the
Backstop Funding Date with respect to either Exchange Offer can be extended independently of (i) the related Withdrawal Deadline for such Exchange Offer and (ii) the Early Exchange Time, the Expiration Time, the Funding Date (if
applicable) or the Backstop Funding Date (if applicable) with respect to the other Exchange Offer.
The Existing Notes will only be accepted for exchange
by the Company in minimum principal amounts of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 thereafter. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders will be accepted.
The Company will not accept any tender of Existing Notes that would result in the issuance of less than $1.00 principal amount of First Lien Notes or Second
Lien Notes, as applicable. The New Notes will only be issued in minimum denominations of $1.00 and integral multiples of $1.00 in excess thereof. If, pursuant to the Offers, a tendering holder would otherwise be entitled to receive First Lien Notes
or Second Lien Notes, as applicable, in a principal amount that is not
an integral multiple of $1.00, such principal amount will be rounded down to the nearest integral multiple of $1.00. This rounded amount will be the principal amount of First Lien Notes or Second
Lien Notes, as applicable, that Eligible Holders will receive, and no additional cash will be paid in lieu of any principal amount of First Lien Notes or Second Lien Notes, as applicable, not received as a result of rounding down.
The following summary offering table indicates the treatment to be offered in the Exchange Offers per $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes validly
tendered and not validly withdrawn. For each $1,000 principal amount of Existing Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn), (i) at or prior to the Early Exchange Time and accepted for exchange, Eligible Holders of Existing Notes will be
eligible to receive the applicable Early Exchange Consideration, and (ii) after the Early Exchange Time but at or prior to the Expiration Time and accepted for exchange, Eligible Holders will receive the applicable Late Exchange Consideration.
Eligible Holders of 2029 Notes electing to participate in the Exchange Offer for 2029 Notes will receive different Exchange Consideration depending on their participant category: (a) Eligible Holders of 2029 Notes who elect to purchase their
pro rata cash portion of New Money First Lien Notes by the Funding Date are referred to herein as "New Money Participants," (b) Eligible Holders of 2029 Notes who are Backstop Parties under the Commitment Agreement and tender their
committed 2029 Notes are referred to herein as "Backstop Participants" and (c) Eligible Holders of 2029 Notes who are neither New Money Participants nor Backstop Participants referred to herein as "Other Eligible
Participants." All Eligible Holders of 2030 Notes receive the same Exchange Consideration regardless of participant category.
Eligible Holder must tender all of the Existing Notes it holds through The Depository Trust Company's ("DTC") Automated Tender Offer Program ("ATOP"). Partial tenders of Existing Notes will not be accepted. Within ATOP,
each participating Eligible Holder must tender all of the Existing Notes it holds into the appropriate contra-CUSIP corresponding with its decision to participate as (1) a New Money Participant, (2) a Backstop Participant (who will receive
a specific ATOP code to participate in the Exchange Offer for their 2029 Notes committed to be tendered pursuant to the Commitment Agreement) or (3) an Other Eligible Participant.
In order to be eligible to participate in the Exchange Offers, each New Money Participant must tender their Existing Notes through DTC's ATOP at or
