1. Commitments.

In connection with the Transactions:

 

  (a)

Each Commitment and Consenting Party hereby confirms its or, as and if applicable, its controlled, advised or sub-advised funds’, accounts’ or other investment vehicles’ (its “Related Funds”) commitment to (i) irrevocably and unconditionally validly tender (and not withdraw), no later than the Early Tender Date, all of its Existing Senior Notes in the Exchange Offers (in relation to such Commitment and Consenting Party, its “Tender”), (ii) with respect to each Commitment and Consenting Party that is not a Backstop Party (as defined below), no later than the Early Tender Date, subscribe to the Non-Backstop Party AHC New Money Offering (collectively, the “Initial Commitments” and, as to each such Commitment and Consenting Party, its “Initial Commitment”) in the aggregate principal amount of New Money First Lien Notes set forth opposite its name on Schedule 1 under the heading “Initial Commitment” (if any), (iii) validly deliver, no later than the Early Tender Date (and not revoke) its consent to the Proposed Amendments with respect to its Existing Senior Notes, in each case, pursuant to the terms of the Offering Memorandum (in relation to such Commitment Party, its “Consent”), and (iv) provide to the Company (or its agent), no later than the first business day following the Early Tender Date, its Voluntary Offer Instruction number(s) (or Clearstream or Euroclear reference number) related to The Depositary Trust Company’s (“DTC”) Automated Tender Offer Program (“ATOP”) tender of such Commitment and Consenting Party’s Existing Senior Notes and, solely with respect to each Backstop Party, its ATOP tendering code. Each Backstop Party hereby confirms, with respect to its Eligible Senior Notes, neither it nor, as and if applicable, its Related Funds will purchase or subscribe for any New Money First Lien Notes in the Public New Money Offering.


  (b)

Each Backstop Party hereby confirms its or, as and if applicable, its Related Funds’, commitment to purchase, on the Early Settlement Date, the portion of the principal amount of the First Lien Notes as set forth opposite its name on Schedule 1, under the heading “Backstop Commitment” (collectively, the “Backstop Commitments” and, as to each Backstop Party, its “Backstop Commitment” and, collectively with the Initial Commitments, the “New Money Commitments”, and, as to each Commitment and Consenting Party, its “New Money Commitment”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and each Backstop Party hereby agree that the Backstop Commitments shall be reduced (ratably as between Backstop Parties) dollar-for-dollar by the amount of gross proceeds of the Public New Money Offering actually received by the Company (or its nominee) on the Funding Date for New Money First Lien Notes to be issued on the Early Settlement Date. When used herein, the term “Backstop Party” means each Initial Commitment and Consenting Party that is identified as a “Backstop Party” on Schedule 1 under the heading “Backstop Party”.

 

  (c)

Each Commitment Party that is a Term B-1 Term Loan Lender, including, without limitation, each Term B-1 Term Loan Consenting Party, hereby confirms its or, as and if applicable, its Related Funds’, commitment to, by the Early Tender Date validly submit its consent with respect to all the Term B-1 Term Loans held by such Commitment Party (and not to withdraw such consent once submitted) to the Term B-1 Term Loan Consent.

 

  (d)

Each Revolving Lender Commitment Party hereby confirms its commitment to (i) provide its applicable portion of the commitments in respect of the New Revolving Credit Facility (“New Revolving Credit Facility Commitments”) set forth opposite its name on Schedule 2 under the heading “New Revolving Credit Facility Commitments” and (ii) enter into the First Lien Revolving Credit Facility Agreement on the Early Settlement Date and take any actions reasonably required to consummate the transactions contemplated thereby.

 

  (e)

The Company and each Commitment Party (other than the Term B-1 Term Loan Consenting Parties) commit to enter into a comprehensive mutual release as between the Company, its subsidiaries, and affiliates, on the one hand, and each such Commitment Party, on the other hand, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, which shall be effective as of, and subject to the occurrence of, the Early Settlement Date. Each person that participates in the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations shall be required to enter into a customary mutual release of the Company, its subsidiaries and affiliates as a condition to participation in such transaction, in each case as shall be set forth in the Offering Memorandum and which may be additionally built into, at the Company’s election, the 2029 Notes Supplemental Indenture and the 2030 Notes Supplemental Indenture.

  (f)

The Company hereby commits to (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to, no later than May 20, 2026 (or such later date as may be approved from time to time by the Required Commitment and Consenting Parties (or counsel thereto)), launch the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations (the “Launch Date”), (ii) as soon as reasonably practicable following the receipt of the Required Senior Notes Consents, deliver a duly executed counterpart of the 2029 Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture and the 2030 Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture to the Existing 2029 Senior Notes Trustee or the Existing 2030 Senior Notes Trustee, as applicable, (iii) as soon as reasonably practicable following the satisfaction of the Early Settlement Date Conditions, settle the Exchange Offers in respect of Existing Senior Notes tendered on or prior to the Early Tender Date in accordance with the Offering Memorandum and settle the New Money Offering and cause the 2029 Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture and the 2030 Senior Notes Supplemental Indenture to become effective, (iv) use commercially reasonable efforts to, no later than the Launch Date (or such later date as may be approved from time to time by the Required Commitment and Consenting Parties (or counsel thereto)), launch the solicitation of the Term B-1 Term Loan Consent, and (v) as soon as reasonably practicable following the Term B-1 Term Loan Consent being obtained, deliver a duly executed counterpart of the Existing Term Credit Agreement Amendment to the Existing Term Credit Agreement Administrative Agent.

 

  (g)

The Company hereby agrees that it shall not amend, modify or waive any of the conditions, deadlines or terms with respect to the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, the New Money Offering, the New Revolving Credit Facility or the Term B-1 Term Loan Consent in any manner that is inconsistent with this Commitment Letter or the Offering Memorandum (in the case of the New Revolving Credit Facility, solely to the extent that such amendment, modification or waiver is materially adverse to the Commitment and Consenting Parties in their capacities as such) without the prior written consent of the Required Commitment and Consenting Parties (or counsel thereto). Any amendment, modification or waiver of the conditions, deadlines or terms of the Exchange Offers and Consent Solicitations, the New Money Offering, the New Revolving Credit Facility or the Term B-1 Term Loan Consent that is inconsistent with this Commitment Letter or the Offering Memorandum (other than as amended, modified or waived in compliance with the foregoing sentence) prior to the Early Settlement Date shall entitle any Commitment and Consenting Party to withdraw its Tender and Consent notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Commitment Letter.

The commitments of the Commitment Parties described in clauses (a) through (e) above are collectively referred to as the “Commitments”.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that any person, with the consent of the Company (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), may join this Commitment Letter as a Commitment and Consenting Party (each, an “Additional Commitment and Consenting Party”) or a Term B-1 Term Loan Consenting Party (each, an “Additional Term B-1 Term Loan Consenting Party”), in each case, if such person executes a joinder to this Commitment Letter (substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D or otherwise acceptable to the Company (a “Joinder”)) and the Company shall amend Schedule 1 appropriately to reflect the amounts set forth in such Joinder (it being understood and agreed that no Commitments of any other Commitment Party (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the Backstop Parties) shall be reduced in connection therewith). Following the execution of such Joinder, each Additional Commitment and Consenting Party shall constitute a “Commitment and Consenting Party” for all purposes hereunder and each Additional Term B-1 Term Loan Consenting Party shall constitute a “Term B-1 Term Loan Consenting Party” for all purposes hereunder.

The Company represents and warrants that (a) all written factual information and data concerning the Company and its subsidiaries and their respective businesses, other than any projections, forecasts, financial and other estimates and other forward-looking information (“Projection Materials”), and information of a general economic or industry-specific nature (the “Information”), that has been or will be made available to any Commitment Party by you or any of your affiliates or representatives on your behalf in connection with the Transactions, in each case, when taken as a whole and after giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto from time to time, is and will be, when furnished, correct in all material respects and does not and will not, when furnished, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained therein not materially misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements are made and (b) the Projection Materials that have been or will be made available to any Commitment Party by or on behalf of you, or any of your affiliates or representatives, when taken as a whole and after giving effect to all supplements and updates provided thereto from time to time, have been or will be prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed by you to be reasonable at the time furnished (it being recognized by the Commitment Parties that such Projection Materials are not to be viewed as facts or guaranties of performance and are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies many of which are beyond your control, that no assurance can be given that any particular financial or other projections or estimates will be realized, that actual results may differ from projected results and that such differences may be material). You agree that if, at any time prior to the applicable Closing Date, you become aware that any of the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence would be incorrect if the Information or the Projection Materials were being furnished and such representations were being made at such time, you will promptly supplement the Information and/or the Projection Materials, as applicable, so that the representations and warranties in the preceding sentence remain true and correct in all material respects at such time under those circumstances; provided, that any such supplement received prior to the applicable Closing Date shall cure any breach of such representations and warranties. You understand that we may use and rely on the Information and Projection Materials for purposes of the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter without independent verification thereof and assume no responsibility and shall not be liable for the accuracy or completeness of the Information or Projection Materials or the use by others of Information, Projection Materials or other materials (including, without limitation, any personal data) obtained through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems, including an electronic platform or otherwise via the internet. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, you will not be required to provide any information to the extent that the provision thereof could (in the Company’s good faith determination) violate any attorney-client privilege, law, rule or regulation or any obligation of confidentiality binding on you; provided, that (i) solely to the extent you are able to do so without violating the applicable restriction or waiving privilege (as determined by the Company), you shall use your commercially reasonable efforts to communicate the applicable information (or portion thereof) in a way that would not violate the applicable restriction or risk waiver of such privilege and (ii) in the event you do not provide information in reliance on this sentence, you will promptly notify the Commitment Party that the information is being withheld on such basis (to the extent permitted without waiving such privilege or violating the applicable restriction).

You acknowledge and agree that (a)(i) the arrangements described in this Commitment Letter regarding the Transactions are arm’s-length commercial transactions between you and your affiliates, on the one hand, and the Commitment Parties and/or their applicable affiliates and/or Related Funds, on the other hand, that do not directly or indirectly give rise to, nor do you rely on, any fiduciary or other implied duty on the part of the Commitment Parties and their applicable affiliates and/or Related Funds and the Commitment Parties and such affiliates and/or Related Funds expressly disclaim any fiduciary or other implied relationship to any party hereto or any of such parties’ affiliates or any other person or entity, (ii) you waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims you may have against the Commitment Parties and their affiliates and/or Related Funds for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty arising prior to the date hereof, (iii) you have consulted your own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent you have deemed appropriate and you are not relying on the Commitment Parties or their applicable affiliates and/or Related Funds or representatives for such advice, and (iv) you are capable of evaluating, and understand and accept, the terms, risks and conditions of the Transactions and are responsible for making your own independent judgment with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the process leading thereto; and (b) in connection with the Transactions, (i) each Commitment Party, in its capacity as such (and/or its applicable affiliates and/or Related Funds) has been, is, and will be (or have been, are and will be) acting solely as a principal and, except as otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, in such capacity, has not been, is not, and will not (or have not been, are not and will not) be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary to you or any of your affiliates or any other party hereto or any of such parties’ affiliates or any other person or entity and are not advising you as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction; and (ii) no Commitment Party, its affiliates and/or Related Funds has an obligation to you or your affiliates except those obligations expressly set forth in this Commitment Letter and any other written agreement with you or any of your affiliates.

5. Indemnification; Expenses.

The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each (i) Commitment and Consenting Party that provides a New Money Commitment and (ii) Revolving Lender Commitment Party and each of their respective affiliates and/or Related Funds and all their respective Related Parties (as defined below), officers, directors (or equivalent managers), members, partners, trustees, employees, equity holders, advisors, agents, and other representatives of each of the foregoing and their respective successors and permitted assigns (each, an “Indemnified Person”) from and against any and all actual losses, claims, damages, and liabilities, joint or several, to which any such Indemnified Person may become subject arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of this Commitment Letter or the Transactions contemplated by the applicable Term Sheet, or any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding, actual or threatened, relating to any of the foregoing, regardless of whether any Indemnified Person is a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated; provided, that no Indemnified Person will be entitled to indemnity hereunder in respect of any loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense to the extent that it is found by a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arose from (i) the bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of, or material breach of this Commitment Letter by, such Indemnified Person (or any of its Related Parties (as defined below)) (it being agreed that a Commitment Party’s compliance with this Commitment Letter and the Transactions expressly contemplated hereby on the terms set forth herein shall not be deemed bad faith, fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) any disputes solely among Indemnified Persons (or their Related Parties) and not arising out of any act or omission of the Company or any of its affiliates. The foregoing shall not limit any indemnities set forth under the Existing Revolving Credit Facility Agreement in favor of the Revolving Lender Commitment Parties in their several capacities thereunder.

In no event will any Indemnified Person, any other party hereto, the Company or any of the Company’s affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, partners, trustees, employees, managed funds and accounts, shareholders, advisors, agents, representatives, attorneys and controlling persons and each of their respective heirs, successors and assigns be liable on any theory of liability for indirect, special, or consequential damages, lost profits or punitive damages in connection with this Commitment Letter or the Transactions; provided, that nothing contained in this sentence shall limit the Company’s indemnification obligations to the extent set forth hereinabove to the extent such special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages are included in any third party claim in connection with which such Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification hereunder.

The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding (or expenses relating thereto) effected without the Company’s consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), but if settled with the Company’s written consent, or if there is a final judgment against an Indemnified Person in any such proceeding, the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person to the extent and in the manner set forth above. The Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the affected Indemnified Person (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding against such Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person unless such settlement (a) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Person from all liability and claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding, (b) does not include any statement as to any admission of fault or culpability of such Indemnified Person, and (c) includes customary confidentiality and non-disparagement agreements; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, no settlement pursuant to this sentence shall be binding on any Indemnified Person without such Indemnified Person’s consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Indemnified Person shall be obligated to refund or return any and all amounts paid by the Company under this paragraph to such Indemnified Person for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses to the extent such Indemnified Person is not entitled to payment of such amounts in accordance with the terms hereof, as determined by a final non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

provided that nothing in this Section [] shall release or relieve any party from, nor shall it constitute a covenant not to sue in respect of: (A) any post-Early Settlement Date obligations of any party, including, without limitation, obligations in respect of the 2029 Senior Notes, 2030 Senior Notes, Existing Revolving Loans, Term B-1 Term Loans and the other Loan Documents, Note Documents or other Transaction Documentation, as applicable, and solely to the extent of any rights or obligations therein that survive the Early Settlement Date or the Commitment Letter; (B) any Claims against any party who fails to execute and deliver any documents or consents required to be executed and delivered by such party in connection with this [Commitment Letter]; (C) the access of any director or officer of any Loan Party to (i) directors or officers insurance currently in place for the benefit of any such director or officer or (ii) any right, proceeds, or other benefit in connection with the same;

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section [], each Released Party understands, acknowledges and agrees that any Commitment Party (on its behalf or on behalf of its Related Parties), releases and forever discharges the Loan Party Releasees solely in such Commitment Party’s capacity as a Lender and/or Commitment Party (as defined in the Commitment Letter, and solely in its capacity as a holder of 2029 Senior Notes, 2030 Senior Notes, or Existing Revolving Loans, as applicable) and not in its individual capacity as an investor or holder of any other claim against or interest in the Loan Parties, or in any other capacity. The Loan Parties understand that the Commitment Party holding Existing Revolving Loans, as set forth on this signature page, is engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses, and in furtherance of the foregoing, the Loan Parties as set forth in the signature pages hereto, acknowledge and agree that the obligations set forth in this [Commitment Letter] shall only apply to the trading desk(s), fund(s), account(s), business group(s), and/or unit(s) of such Commitment Party holding Existing Revolving Loans, as set forth on this signature page, that principally manage and/or supervise each such Commitment Party’s investment in the Loan Parties and shall not apply to any other trading desk(s), fund(s), account(s), business group(s), and/or unit(s) therein of such Commitment Party so long as they are not acting at the direction or for the benefit of such Commitment Party or in connection with such Commitment Party’s investment in the Loan Parties, as applicable (each, an “Other Unit” and, collectively, such “Other Units”). For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this [Commitment Letter], no Other Unit shall be a Commitment Party nor deemed an Affiliate, or Related Party of a Commitment Party to the extent not specifically identified on this signature page. This [Commitment Letter] does not cover Loan Party claims or equity interests that are now owned or subsequently acquired by Other Units unless such holders execute separate signature pages to this [Commitment Letter], joinders, or transfer agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this [Commitment Letter], none of the Existing Agents are Releasors.

(c) Each Loan Party, on its behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties, each Existing Senior Notes Trustee, and each Commitment Party (solely in its capacity as a holder of 2029 Senior Notes, 2030 Senior Notes, or Existing Revolving Loans, as applicable), on behalf of themselves and their respective Related Parties (each, a “Releasor”), to the greatest extent authorized by applicable law, hereby expressly agrees that the release contemplated by the foregoing Section [](a) extends to any and all rights granted under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code (“Section 1542”) or any analogous state law or federal law or regulation are hereby expressly waived. Section 1542 reads as follows:

“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.”

(d) Each Releasor understands that Section 1542, or a comparable statute, rule, regulation, or order of another jurisdiction, gives such party the right not to release existing Claims of which such party is not aware, unless such party voluntarily chooses to waive this right. Having been so apprised, each Releasor, on its behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties, nevertheless hereby voluntarily elects to and does waive the rights described in Section 1542, or such other comparable statute, rule, regulation or order, and elects to assume all risks for all Released Claims. Each Releasor, on its behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties, to the greatest extent authorized by applicable law, acknowledges and agrees that the foregoing waiver is an essential and material term of this [Commitment Letter] and that, without such waiver, the other parties would not have agreed to the terms of this [Commitment Letter]. Each Releasor, on its behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties, to the greatest extent authorized by applicable law, hereby represents to the other parties hereto that it understands and acknowledges that it may hereafter discover facts and legal theories concerning such other parties or the subject matter hereof in addition to or different from those which it now believes to be true. Such Releasor understands and hereby agrees that the release set forth in this Section [] shall remain effective in all respects notwithstanding those additional or different facts and legal theories or the discovery of those additional or different facts or legal theories. Such Releasor, on its behalf and on behalf of its Related Parties, assumes the risk of any mistake of fact or applicable law with regard to any potential Claim released under this Section [](a) or with regard to any of the facts that are now unknown to it relating thereto.

 


(e) Each Releasor agrees and acknowledges that the Claims which it is releasing under Section [](a) include any Claim which such Releasor does not know or suspect to exist in its favor at the time of the giving of the foregoing releases and covenants not to sue which, if known by it, might affect its decision regarding the releases and covenants not to sue set forth herein. Each Releasor agrees and acknowledges that it might hereafter discover facts or documents in addition to or different from those which it now knows or believes to be true or exist with respect to the subject matter of any of the Claims, but no Releasor in any capacity shall have any duty to disclose or provide any such facts or documents (whether material or immaterial, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, foreseen or unforeseen) to any other Releasor solely by reason of the releases in Section [](a), and each Releasor shall be deemed to have fully, finally and forever settled and released any and all Released Claims, whether known or unknown, concealed, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or non-contingent, assertable directly or derivatively by class representative or individual, which now exist or heretofore have existed upon any theory of law (whether state, federal, local, or foreign laws, including securities laws), contract, tort, or equity now existing or coming into existence in the future to the extent such Claims are actually released in Section [](a). Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein is intended to impair or otherwise derogate from any of the representations, warranties or covenants expressly set forth in this [Commitment Letter] or any of the Loan Documents in respect of the New Revolving Credit Facility or limit or otherwise excuse any obligation of any Loan Party under the Existing Documents, the loans under the New Revolving Credit Facility or any of the documents executed in connection therewith or any of the rights of the lenders under such respective documents as of the date of this [Commitment Letter].

(f) In the event that any third party, estate, trustee, debtor-in-possession, creditor, creditors’ committee, or any other person or entity is successful in pursuing any Released Claim, or otherwise obtains liens or any other right or benefit in, any Released Matter (or any Claim or cause of action, including any avoidance, preference, strong arm, or claw back action subsequently arising by operation of an insolvency or creditor rights law, that would have been a Released Claim if the person or entity bringing such Claim or cause of action were party to the mutual release contained in this Section []), or in connection with any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, is successful in pursuing or receives, directly or indirectly, any funds, property, or other value on account of any Claim or cause of action against any Released Party that was released hereunder, in each case, each Releasor agrees that it shall (a) not recover any funds, property, or other value received, awarded, or arising from settlement, judgment, or other resolution of such actual or threatened Claim or cause of action, (b) if it does receive such recovery, shall not commingle such recovery with any of its other assets, and (c) shall promptly turnover and assign any such recoveries exclusively to, and hold them in trust exclusively for, such Loan Party Releasee or Existing Agent/Lender Releasee, as applicable, provided that, in no circumstance shall this Section [](f) obligate any Releasor, Existing Agent or Term B-1 Term Loan Lender that would have otherwise recovered the full amount of a debt claim (including a debtor-in-possession financing claim) in a bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceeding from other assets to turn over or assign such recoveries or proceeds of litigation if such person’s receipt of the subject recoveries or proceeds was deemed to be in full or partial satisfaction of such claim (or, if applicable, an adequate protection claim derived from such debt claim that would have otherwise recovered in full) such that the Releasor, Existing Agent or Term B-1 Term Loan Lender (as applicable) would otherwise be unable to seek repayment on such claim to obtain satisfaction in full from alternative sources. For purposes of this Section [], any reference to any Loan Party, Existing Agent, Existing Senior Notes Trustee or Commitment Party shall mean and include, as applicable, such Loan Party, Existing Agent, Existing Senior Notes Trustee or Commitment Party’s Affiliates and successors and assigns, including, without limitation, any estate, receiver, trustee, debtor-in-possession, debtor-in-possession financing lender, or other person or entity.


(g) Subject to Section [](a), each of the Releasors hereby further agrees and covenants not to, and shall not, and shall cause each of its Related Parties to not, individually or with any other person or entity file, commence, or prosecute, or assist or otherwise aid (unless legally compelled) any other person in the filing, commencement, or prosecution of any charge, lawsuit, complaint or proceeding, whether directly, derivatively, or otherwise, with respect to any Released Matter against any Released Party. If any such proceeding is so commenced, then the Releasor commencing such proceeding (or whose Related Party commences such proceeding) shall immediately cause it to be dismissed, and the Released Party or other released person or entity subject thereto shall have the right to be reimbursed by the party that commenced such proceeding (or whose Related Party commenced such proceeding) for all reasonable fees, costs, and expenses incurred in connection therewith, without limitation of any other rights and remedies. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall constitute a covenant not to sue in respect of any proceeding seeking a determination that a Claim falls within clause (G) of Section [](a), and no such proceeding shall constitute a breach of this Section [](g).

(h) Each Releasor understands, acknowledges, and agrees that, after the Early Settlement Date, the releases set forth in this Section [] may be pleaded as a full and complete defense to any Released Claim and may be used as a basis for an injunction against any action, suit, or other proceeding without any need to post a bond or other indemnity which may be instituted, prosecuted, or attempted in breach of the provisions of such release. Each Releasor further agrees that no fact, event, circumstance, evidence, or transaction which could not be asserted or which may hereafter be discovered shall affect in any manner the final, absolute, and unconditional nature of the releases set forth in this Section [] and agrees that it shall turn over and return or cause to be turned over and returned any recovery it receives in respect of a Released Matter (without creating any recourse, contribution, subrogation, or similar Claim, each of which is hereby waived) (other than as described in Section [](f)). The releases of the Releasors set forth in this Section [] are final releases, effective as of the Early Settlement Date, even if there may exist a mistake on the part of any Releasor as to the extent and nature of the Claims of any such Releasor against any other party. Each of the Releasors acknowledges that it has access to adequate information regarding the terms hereof, and the scope and effect of the releases contained in this Section [], to make an informed and knowledgeable decision with regard to entering into this [Commitment Letter]. Each Releasor agrees and acknowledges that, except as expressly set forth in this [Commitment Letter], no other party (or any Related Party of any other party), in any capacity, has warranted or otherwise made any representations concerning any Released Matter or Released Claim (including any representation or warranty concerning the existence, non-existence, validity or invalidity of any Released Claim).
